It looks like LG’s forthcoming Optimus G2 won’t be competing with the likes of Oppo Find and HTC Droid DNA/Butterfly, and will rather go for the folks looking to buy a phablet device such as the Samsung Galaxy Note II. According to Korean publication Asiae, LG’s next flagship will rock a 5.5-inch 1080p screen as…
Sprint to help Dish launch its MVNO?
Aside from using it to operate its own businesses like Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile, Sprint also leases its network to third parties like Ting, FreedomPop, Republic Wireless, Voyager Mobile and Elevate. That, however, isn’t enough with the carrier now approaching Dish Network to help them establish their own wireless company using Now Network’s airwaves.…
Samsung Galaxy Grand DUOS (GT-I8092) launching next year with big screen, mid-end specs
Samsung is apparently getting ready to launch another member of its Galaxy series. The rumored Galaxy Grand DUOS (we guess a single-SIM version will also be released) may be unveiled in January 2013, sporting some rather unimpressive specs. From what we’ve heard, it will have a huge 5-inch screen that will unfortunately show WVGA (800×480…
HTC M7 launching in Q1 2013 with 5-inch HD screen, Snapdragon S4 Pro, 13MP camera and uni-body aluminum case
Although the HTC Droid DNA has been just recently announced, the Taiwanese company is already looking to launch another device. And I’m not talking about the international version of the DNA called HTC DLX, but a whole new phone which, to be fair, will be pretty similar to the existing one. However, instead of coming…
T-Mobile launching new prepaid brand – GoSmart Mobile
T-Mobile will soon launch a new prepaid brand, GoSmart Mobile, which we’re hearing will target the same market Sprint aims for with its Boost Mobile franchise. So it’s not an MVNO in traditional sense, since GoSmart will be operated by T-Mobile USA, rather than some third party that simply licenses network from an operator. As…
Blockbuster stores to start selling phones?
Dish Network is apparently planning to use what’s left of Blockbuster’s brick-and-mortar stores to sell phones to the users.

A new, still unannounced Nokia Lumia smartphone has been caught in Mexico. Apparently, the Lumia 505 has been leaked by Guerrero Movil, which is one of Telcel’s authorized resellers.

Samsung working on a cheaper version of Galaxy Note II for Europe
Samsung is apparently working on a cheaper version of the Galaxy Note II that will be sold in Europe. The idea is to provide customers with a big screen experience without having to pay a premium. However, this model won’t have all of the features the Galaxy Note II has — including the SPen function…

Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus in works?
The existing Samsung Galaxy Pocket S5300 is the cheapest Android smartphone in the company’s portfolio and it’s also available in a dual SIM variant. However, both devices (single and dual SIM versions) run Android 2.3 Gingerbread which may soon not be a “good enough” option even for the emerging markets of the world. To “solve”…
