Samsung is rolling out a small update for its brand-new Galaxy Note 8.0 in Germany. The 174MB-heavy download doesn’t bring along Android 4.2.2 (the tablet will stay at version 4.1.2), but it does come with software tweaks that “improve stability”, and there’s also the nicer lookin’ transparent notification bar amongst other things. Software version N5100XXBMF1…
TELUS and Rogers have both announced plans to sell the 4th gen iPad and iPad mini. As expected, they’ll be selling models with both Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, offering them with their tablet plans. No subsidies will be included and you’ll rather pay the full price of Apple’s tablet and then use it with a…
The existing Samsung Galaxy S4 with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 chip may be fast, but there’s always something faster – the same phone with Snapdragon 800 SoC.

After the ZTE Open, we have Alcatel’s Firefox OS-based OneTouch Fire getting FCC’s seal of approval to be sold in the U.S. Yet again, this doesn’t mean any U.S. carrier will sell this phone and it just could be part of Mozilla’s efforts to make Firefox OS-powered devices available for developers in the country. Similarly…
Good news for all of you waiting to get the upcoming HTC One Mini aka HTC M4 – it will come with a 720p HD screen, its leaked UA Profile confirms. This and the fact that it has an aluminum body will put it ahead of Samsung’s Galaxy S4 Mini which has a qHD (540×960…
Some two weeks ago, we’ve told you about the LG Optimus L4 II and now it’s officially announced by the Korean company. As you would expect from an LG Optimus device wearing the “L4” moniker, it’s an entry-level smartphone with specs that include a 3.8-inch HVGA (320×480) IPS screen, MediaTek’s 1GHz single-core processor, 512MB of…
