Samsung offers quite a few Android smartphones but despite that it manages to release timely firmware updates. How they do it (and even more importantly – why other companies fail to do that) is beyond me, but we gotta praise them for the effort. One of their latest gigs is to bring Jelly Bean update…
We’ve learned to expect a lot from Huawei with the company’s Honor 2 moving the market boundaries, showing us what the next-gen mid-range smartphone will look like. In their own backyard, Huawei recently unveiled the T8830, which is described as a low-end device even though it comes with a dual-core processor. Sure enough, it has…
Well that’s interesting. Nokia supposedly has a stable relationship with Microsoft, hence it primarily focusing on churning out Windows Phone smartphones like the new Windows Phone 8-based Lumia 920. A job posting on Nokia’s LinkedIn page suggests otherwise, however. The job Nokia had up for grabs is “Principal Software Engineer, Embedded Linux Middleware at Nokia…
Over the past two weeks, I’ve become rather obsessed with Google’s still invite-only game, Ingress. While it’s probably incredibly geeky to hear someone talking about portals and resonators, the game quickly becomes addicting once you give it a real shot.

The Sharp Aquos SH930W, which has already been unveiled in Russia, will also be announced for Hong Kong. The Japanese company said that its 1080p Android smartphone will cost 4,488 HKD (around $580) and will ship with Jelly Bean out of box. The price is much lower than what Russians are forced to pay (21,990…
Verizon may be ranked among the best wireless carriers in the US, but the company has a shoddy track record when it comes to updating its Android phones . As pointed out by Droid Life, the prime example of this lackluster performance is the Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus was the first Nexus device to…
It was at the end of September when we told you about the Acer Liquid Z110 Duo, a dual-SIM Android smartphone, and now it’s available in the UK from Clove. However, we must warn you not to buy this thing even though it sells for just 110.40 GBP (and that’s the off-contract price). The reason…
