With Nokia poised to release a new, upgraded version of the iconic 3310 handset, opinion in the marketplace has been polarised. While the device has been subjected to ten-times more pre-registration interest than any other flagship handset so far in 2017. For example, some dissenting voices have claimed that the device will struggle to compete…
With Apple’s cash pile growing with the day, we are wondering when (or whether) will they start making big moves, as in – big acquisitions. The iPhone maker typically acquires smaller firms, but with more than $200 billion sitting at their offshore accounts, one wonders how on earth will they spend/invest all the cash. There…
Chinese (handset makers) are coming and they seem ready to take on the Korean giants. Just last week, I got a chance to play with the Mlais M4 Note, a phablet-sized device that offers an amazing bang for the buck. That’s $159 for those who count. At first glance, the M4 Note looks like a…
If Chinese handset makers like Huawei and ZTE don’t cut it — due to security and “all that jazz” — perhaps the best contender to take over BlackBerry is Amazon. There are a few reasons why this could be a good move for the online retail giant: 1. Amazon wants its own eco-system, not the…

If Google and Apple can have their mobile payment services, so can Samsung. They are the world’s largest phone maker, after all. And they want to increase their ARPU, no matter what. No matter if no one uses their apps and platforms. No matter that people hate all the bloatware that comes with every Galaxy…
Samsung has a new flagship device and it (obviously?) requires a pair of VR glasses of its own. The current Gear VR is made for the Galaxy Note 4, and while I’m sure you can make it work with the S6 – that won’t be the best setup ever. Simply put – the Note 4…
We’ve seen a Nexus phone, a Nexus tablet and a Nexus set-top box – it’s time for a Nexus smart watch. Let me start by adding that we don’t have any inside information; this article is a product of my imagination, but it does make sense. It’s time for Google to step-in and set standards…
Huawei may be Google’s next partner to make the Nexus tablet, according to one source from Chinese social network Weibo, and brought to our attention by the good folks of GizmoChina.
