The second quarter of this year is going to be ridiculously exciting because we’re finally going to see mobile phones come out with something other than Qualcomm’s S3 Snapdragon or Samsung’s now ancient 45 nanometer Exynos chips. Qualcomm will be launching their S4 Snapdragon, which is built on a new 28 nanometer process, has a…

In a hall filled with European handsets, Samsung had a treat in store for us North American visitors: the Galaxy S Blaze 4G for T-Mobile. The Blaze is a mid-level offering that’ll appeal to feature phone owners and current smartphone owners looking to save a buck. It won’t compete with the HTC One X, but…
