We’ve told you that Vertu is preparing to launch another smartphone and voila – it’s here. Like any other Vertu device, the Aster isn’t made for the mass market but for the very few who can actually afford it. The company’s latest piece of jewelry starts at £4,200 (about $6,785 or €5,350) depending on the…
British retailer Tesco is no stranger to mobile technology; it operates an MVNO and has even launched its own-brand tablet, which just got an update in the form of Hudl 2. Said device offers a solid bang for the buck: it packs an 8.3-inch full HD screen (265ppi), Intel’s Atom quad-core chip clocked at 1.83GHz,…
U.S. Cellular now has the new and improved 2014 Moto X, and you can grab it for just $99.99 with a new two-year contract. Pricing is on par with other U.S. carriers such as AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. That’s for the black model mind you; if you want to get your hands on a bamboo or…
You know that section in the Google Play Store for Chromecast stuff? (Can’t blame you if you don’t.)

Motorola will not only make the next Nexus smartphone (Nexus 6), but also a similar device with its own branding. Yes, we would say LG did something like that with last year’s LG G2 and Nexus 5, though the G2 was slightly bigger. The upcoming Moto S will likely end-up selling at all major carriers…
Thanks to the team over at SamMobile, we now have our first look at what Android L looks like running on the Samsung Galaxy S5. The early build of Android L also includes Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. The video spans eight minutes and shows off pretty much everything anyone would want to know about Android L,…
Apple has gotten themselves into a bit of a pickle with the iPhone 6 Plus. The gargantuan iPhone has been bending like Beckham, contorting in ways never thought possible, all during supposed “normal” use. While the whole bendgate saga continues to throb like a stubborn canker sore, Samsung is taking full advantage of Apple’s problems…
LG announced a new low- to mid-end device, the F60, which can’t help but remind us on the (also recently) unveiled LG L Fino. The LG F60 seems to be made for first-time 4G LTE phone buyers. It packs a 4.5-inch screen with WVGA resolution, Qualcomm’s quad-core Snapdragon chip clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM,…
Huawei is joining the likes of Asus and Samsung with a tablet that can take phone calls. The Honor Tablet has been unveiled in Malaysia, and aside from allowing its owners to talk with it, it also offers the “regular” tablet experience. Priced at the equivalent of $184, the 7.9mm-thin slate rocks an 8-inch 1280×800…
