HTC may not be happy with the lastest leak hitting the rumor mill today. According to Android Authority, an internal security breach has exposed the codenames for 35 smartphone models. Some of the names like Deluxe (HTC Butterfly) and Evita (One XL) are familiar, while others are completely new. Unfortunately, the leaked information does not divulge…
HTC HD2 is probably hacker’s most-loved device, ever. We’ve seen it running Windows Phone 7 and 8, various Android versions, MeeGo and now it’s caught singing along Windows RT. As you probably know, this version of Microsoft’s platform is made for tablets not smartphones, so it’s nothing short of amazing. We can’t tell you how…
HTC has started pushing out Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update to One S users in Europe.

Owners of the HTC One XL in parts of Asia, including Taiwan and Singapore, have started getting Jelly Bean updates for their beloved smartphone.

From what we’ve heard, the Taiwanese company considered making…
We’d say this comes to us as a surprise, but it doesn’t. Samsung has managed to gobble up almost half the Android market share for 2012. According to Millennial Media, Samsung’s Q3 2011 share of 23% skyrocketed to 46% in Q3 of 2012. Samsung has been producing hit after hit with its Galaxy line of handsets, with…
Sad news for our European readers – HTC Butterfly won’t be coming your way. Previously we reported that Expansys will sell the Taiwanese company’s super-phone but those who opted to pre-order got the message that their device won’t be shipping. Here’s what the phone retailer had to say to one customer who expressed interest for…
We’ve heard rumblings of the HTC M7 for a while now, but now we’re hearing a bit more in terms of specifications of the new device. The HTC M7 is said to replace the existing HTC One X model, and pumps up the specs across the board. Still, when you see the rumored specs, it…
