Some of us were expecting Google to announce Android 4.3 at Google I/O this year, which unfortunately didn’t happen. But now, thanks to a user on the XDA forums, we have screenshots that show a possible Android 4.3 running on a Nexus 4. The shots come from a mobile expo that is currently taking place…
At the time Google unveiled the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition, HTC rep tweeted from her personal account that we should “wait,” prompting the blogosphere to conclude that the Taiwanese company is preparing Google Edition version of the HTC One. The company’s Senior Global Online Communications Manager Jeff Gordon quickly silenced these rumors saying that…
AT&T announced that it managed to score an exclusive version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 which comes in Aurora Red. The device will be available for pre-order later today through the carrier’s website and from AT&T company-owned retail stores. The price is set at $199.99 with a two-year contract, with first units shipping on June…
HTC has apparently sold around 5 million HTC one units, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal, quoting an unnamed HTC executive. The same source says that orders are “pretty good” so far and are “still more than what we can supply,” due to “shortage of components.” He went on to add: “When…
Verizon Wireless and AT&T will soon start selling the Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition.

The all-aluminum device will most likely be unveiled at the company’s “Beauty” event on June 18th and in the meantime, we have another set of photos to show you, depicting the upcoming device in white. Yeah,…
Let’s say you don’t live in the U.S. and want the Samsung Galaxy S4 running stock Android – you can’t have it. At least not through any official channel. Rather, a friend from the U.S. will have to bring it to you, or you’ll buy it on your next trip to the States. Not sure…

That date apparently doesn’t “work” for all countries, with some markets getting it few months afterwards. In fact, customers in the UK, Germany and France won’t be able to buy the ZR directly.…
Sony has started rolling out a small update for its Xperia ZL smartphone. Currently, it only affects unlocked units with carrier branded versions (sold in parts of Europe and Asia), most likely getting it shortly.
