Looks like Samsung is done with plastics for its flagship devices, SamMobile says quoting its insider sources. The Korean company has looked at the HTC One and is now “worried” about the design and build quality of its own phones, which are completely made out of plastic. And while we have nothing against plastic, we…
Huawei is preparing a new device for its own backyard, Ascend G700, and as I’m writing this, the chances are slim we’ll ever see it being introduced in the West. The mid-to-high end device has been caught while getting approval from China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, sporting a 5-inch 720p HD screen and MediaTek’s MT6589…
Looks like Canada’s mobile market is set for consolidation. The rumor is that TELUS is in the midst of talks to acquire Mobilicity, with the idea to get an additional spectrum, though adding more customers could also help justify the cost of acquisition. The problem, however, is that Mobilicity’s owners (or that’s managers?) may not…
The long-time rumored Motorola X phone may not be released in late June or July as we previously thought. Heck, we were hoping Google will initially unveil the device at its annual Google I/O event next month, but apparently that won’t be the case. According to PhoneArena and its sources, Moto’s flagship release date was…

And while handset makers are giving their best to make the bezel around the screen as petit as possible to make smartphones more compact, we’re still waiting for a device with real edge-to-edge screen. Pantech is apparently working on such a “bezel-less” product as we speak, preparing it as an…
While we’re still a long way from the Samsung Galaxy Note III official announcement, that doesn’t stop rumors from piling in. The latest we’ve caught suggests that the next Note will come with S Orb, which is a panoramic photo feature similar to Google’s Photo Sphere. According to the AndroidGeeks website, the new feature will…
Xiaomi’s upcoming Mi3 will be one of the best phones announced this year, though we guess other handset makers also be launching similar devices. Set to be unveiled later this year, it will be available in two different versions, both super-powerful. One will rock Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor, whereas the another one will get…
A leak has surfaced today detailing Huawei’s new Windows Phone 8 offering, the Huawei Ascend W2. We have seen some rumblings of this device before, and the new leak brings us a detailed spec sheet that shows a fairly high-end device.
