Yesterday we’ve told you that the HTC One Google Play edition got an Android 4.4 update and now it’s Samsung’s turn. Yup, the hot-new KitKat software is now available for the Galaxy S4 Google Play edition. This is a rather “pure” update that doesn’t include Samsung’s own software, or so we think. Perhaps there are…
Even though the first G Flex is still not available outside of South Korean, LG has reportedly started working on its successor. According to ZDNet Korea, what will make any G Flex 2 better than what we’ve got today is a special rubber chassis that will enable the device to flex up to 90 degrees.…

We don’t know all of the specs but we do have many details: Huawei’s next phablet will rock a 6.1-inch…
Good folks from TUAW caught this amazing iPhone 6 concept that rocks a wrap-around screen making for a true “all-touchscreen” experience. However, while technology to make this possible is already available — with Samsung planning to launch such a device next year — somehow we doubt Apple is thinking between these lines. For one thing,…
Foxconn is apparently looking to open a factory in the US. This facility would make high-end smartphones and tablets, leaving the production of low- and mid-range devices to places like China and Taiwan.
