The US-bound LG G Vista is going to Asia as the LG Gx2. It's a 5.7" phablet that replaces last year's LG Gx but with less impressive specs. The screen is an IPS LCD with 720p resolution and the processor is a 1.2GHz quad-core (most likely a...

Huawei has been extensively using the number 7 in its teasers for the upcoming IFA event. The latest one is dubbed "7 Mates For 7 Dreamers," a not so subtle hint at the upcoming Huawei Ascend Mate 7. You can just about see the metal back of the...

The previous iPhone 6 box we saw proved to be fake but here's something that may be more plausible. What you see here is a small card that allegedly will come inside the new iPhone boxes – it serves as a sort of manual for the iPhone. The card...

64-bit smartphones are already a reality with the iPhone 5s while several manufacturers are competing to be the first to bring a 64-bit Android to market. HTC might claim that title with the mid-range Desire 820. The phone has been officially...

A rendered image was posted to Chinese social network Baidu that compares the upcoming Nokia Lumia 830 with the current Lumia 930 flagship. The design fits what we've seen in real-life leaked photos. Both have the same screen size, 5 inches,...

Counterclockwise distills the good old times for our nostalgic readers and a history lessons for those who only recently became interested in phones. We'll be looking into events in late Augusts throughout the years, a time just before the launch of...

The guys at OpenSignal thrive on smartphone statistics and once agin they took the time to plot Android fragmentation. It was a mammoth undertaking as the dominant smartphone platform has splintered in many different ways. First off is that...

Huawei's upcoming phablet, the Huawei Ascend Mate 7, has passed through TENAA and left a cache of specifications. The Mate 7 is the successor to the Mate2 and has a 6" screen (so where did the 7 come from?). The screen may be 6" big – 0.1"...

TENAA has certified the upcoming Sony Xperia Z3 and we now have a virtually complete specs sheet. And we still find very little upgrades over the Xperia Z2 model. The phone keeps the 5.2" IPS LCD with 1080p resolution but is marginally smaller....

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is back at AnTuTu and this time there are benchmark scores. The Samsung N910C is powered by a Exynos 5433 (not to be confused with the Exynos 5430 found in the Galaxy Alpha), while the N910S is based on Snapdragon...

We've seen plenty of iPhone 6 dummies though photos are usually of bad quality and don't compare Apple's new flagship to its main rivals. Well, perhaps the biggest challenger is out, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, and thanks to the 3D modelling skills of...

Same phone, same name, different OS – meet the HTC One (M8) for Windows. Don't let the name fool you, it's a Windows Phone 8.1 device but other than that it's almost an exact copy of the Android-powered HTC One (M8). For now the device is a...

Sony has made water-resistance a sort of trademark for the Xperia line but that's a feature usually reserved for the upper class of phones. The new Sony Xperia M2 Aqua brings the highest dust and water resistance IP rating found on a smartphone,...

Counterclockwise lets us reminisce about the past – the good, the bad and sometimes, yes, even the ugly. This time around we see a couple of phones that never launched last year but may be reborn. We also look at how much HTC undervalued Beats and...

The Nokia Lumia 830 will most likely be unveiled at IFA on September 4 but we've already amassed a large number of leaks for the upcoming mid-ranger. A new batch of photos gives us a peak at the sides of the phone, photos until now focused on the...

We've seen a batch of Sony Xperia Z3 photos, which featured a transparent case protecting the sides and back of the upcoming flagship. Now we have images of the case itself, which is made by Baseus. Baseus has been making cases for Sony, Samsung,...

Not even a week on the job and new Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure is already changing the company. He assembled the company's employees in the town hall to detail the changes that will start as soon as next week. The good news for subscribers is that...

Less than three weeks remain until the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is unveiled at IFA and Samsung is already ramping up advertising efforts for the new phablet. A dedicated page on Samsung's official site has a sappy ad that mostly features the Galaxy...
