Alcatel prepared quite a show at its Mobile World Congress booth. The handset maker had a ton of devices on display, many of which had their world premier in Barcelona. That Firefox OS-based One Touch Fire was just one of them and it obviously got the biggest attention. One thing is certain – Alcatel is…
This could be a breakthrough year for Tizen as three giants — Docomo, Orange and Samsung — all committed to launch devices running this OS later this year. Two operators on the list announced plans to “commercialize Tizen devices in the second half of 2013,” with Samsung most likely making those handsets. The Korean electronics…
Unsurprisingly, NVIDIA put a strong emphasis on Tegra 4 at this year’s Mobile World Congress. And while we still wait to see the first device relying on the new processor — which will be made by ZTE — the company offered us perspective on some of their plans, touting the Tegra 4 as the best…
ASUS had a fairly small booth at this year’s Mobile World Congress. Their key devices were the Padfone Infinity and Intel-powered FonePad. Needless to say, we prefer the former which looks pretty sexy in its metallic body and the HD tablet shell. Moreover, few of their Transformer tablets were on display as well, and so…

It is said that they’re keeping the best for its own event in March when the brand-new Galaxy S IV will be unveiled. In the meantime, they’ve pretty much bored us with the Galaxy…
These days, LG is all about different “series” of devices, each catered towards different kind of buyer.

Whether you’re looking for a first smartphone to buy, want a high-end model like Optimus G Pro, or something…
Huawei had one major device announcement during this year’s Mobile World Congress – for the Ascend P2, though many other devices were also on display in Barcelona. Just like ZTE, Huawei has also advanced through the years and we even tend to think of it as a better of the two major Chinese handset makers.…
ZTE is steadily growing its market share. The Chinese company had an impressive booth at this year’s Mobile World Congress, where they had both their entry-level and high-end devices on display — though their latest phones from the Grand series (Grand S and Grand Memo) got the better treatment (naturally), We’re pretty impressed with what…
