All those people fired from Nokia in the last couple of years present a great opportunity for other companies. Perhaps that’s why Huawei announced that it will invest 70 million EUR over a five-year period to establish an R&D center in Helsinki, Finland. The facility will initially focus on software development for smartphones, tablets and…
We’ve already told you that an LTE-enabled version of the Samsung Galaxy Camera has been caught at the FCC. The model in question had Verizon Wireless written all over it, with its 4G radio supporting the right bands to sing along Big Red’s network. Now such device got a dedicated page at Samsung’s website before…
The existing Samsung Galaxy Pocket S5300 is the cheapest Android smartphone in the company’s portfolio and it’s also available in a dual SIM variant. However, both devices (single and dual SIM versions) run Android 2.3 Gingerbread which may soon not be a “good enough” option even for the emerging markets of the world. To “solve”…

The image isn’t too revealing – we see a big screen, front-facing camera and three touch buttons at the bottom. We do, however, know that under the hood there’s the…
We know that Huawei will enter the Windows Phone game. Heck we’ve seen their W1 model, but apparently the Chinese company won’t stop with a single model. What we have here is an unidentified Windows Phone device wearing Huawei’s brand. And we can’t really say what’s it all about, or whether it will ever be…
Lava XOLO X900, aka the world’s first Android smartphone with Intel Medfield processor, is getting the Ice Cream Sandwich update as we speak. While we haven’t tried it ourselves, we guess the new software (version 2.190-CRAK), based on Android 4.0.4, packs minor UI changes which some of us, myself included, like a lot — when…
The newly announced Windows Phone 8 devices from HTC, the HTC 8S and HTC 8X, will be available in the UK in November and you can already pre-order your units from Unlocked Mobiles.
