This will be the next device to claim the world’s slimmest smartphone title
It was back in February when we first talked about the Gionee Elife S5.5, which at that time was the device with the slimmest body, ever. At 5.5mm, it still holds the said spot but that will change soon; and the next phone to claim the throne will be another Gionee device. The soon-to-be-launched Gionee…
Is this the upcoming HTC Android Wear smart watch?
It could be, but the watch definitely won’t have that custom screen, since Google won’t allow its OEM partners to tweak the software. They [OEM partners] will be able to use custom wallpapers but that’s something completely different. We do like the metal look and feel of this watch that reminds us on HTC’s flagship…
Your next ZTE phone could run Google Now launcher right from the get-go

Motorola smartphone with two cameras on the back coming soon?
Well what do we have here… Could this be the upcoming Moto X+1? Or that’s something completely different? Whatever this is, it comes with two holes on the back, making it ready to “accept” two camera modules to deliver an improved photo taking experience a la HTC One. Another scenario could be that the extra…
Gold Samsung Z in works
Aside from the “regular” colored Samsung Z models, the Korean company is also working on the gold-colored version. Brought to our attention by the good folks of TizenExperts, this unit looks rather sexy in gold and could thus help Sammy move more units. That said, we’re still waiting to see any Z variant hitting the…
Kyocera’s Sapphire Shield to bring extra toughness to Android smartphones
Corning’s Gorilla Glass products may soon be a thing of the past, at least when it comes to the very high end of the smartphone market. This could happen thanks to Kyocera, which Sapphire Shield glass may turn into a new darling of top handset makers (and owners of said devices). While Corning has made…
