From what we know of the upcoming Google Nexus 6, should that indeed be its name, it will include a large, 2K display, run on the all-new Android L, and instead of LG, will this time be manufactured by Motorola. Given that the Google subsidiary has taken the manufacturing reigns, it should come as no surprise that the leaks of the Nexus 6 have revealed a number of Motorola-inspired design quirks, and in a new set of renders, we get clear look of the overall aesthetic.
Google's Nexus 6, or "Nexus X" as it's rumored to be called, will likely roll out later on this month alongside the greatly-revamped Android L, and after numerous leaks of the device in typically grainy photos, we have a clear shot of the handset being used out in public.
Pebble has announced an improvement to the fleet of fitness-tracking features it first rolled out in an update earlier on this year, and along with the enhanced functionality, has also revised the prices of its line-up. Notably, it brings the cost of the entry-level Pebble down to $99, hitting the sub-$100 category for the very first time, and with the premium Pebble Steel now only costing $199, it's clear that the likes of Apple Watch and Android Wear are ramping up the pressure on the start-up.
The biggest stories in technology these days tend to be about smartphones. Even with smartwatches threatening to take over as the most talked about, highly anticipated hardware releases going, the not-so-humble smartphone still manages to truly capture the imagination like few other new releases.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 was among the first major mobile announcements of this busy month, with the Korean outfit once again utilizing the IFA expo in Berlin, Germany to showcase its latest phablet. With a sharpened display, bumped processor and improved camera, it's certainly a healthy upgrade on last year's Note 3, and unsurprisingly, Sammy has been promoting it non-stop. In the latest, the Tizen maker has just rolled out a new ad, and with pre-orders now being taken in the United States, seeks to convince consumers that the Note 4 is the device to own.
Google's Nexus line of smartphones and tablets have long since offered consumers a completely unadulterated Android experience, as well as decent hardware, at a price considerably lower than competitors. After last year's Nexus 5, which was manufactured by LG, Google's very own Motorola has been tasked with the role of building its successor, which is expected to arrive at some point in the coming weeks. Now, we have a couple of leaked snaps that apparently allow use a sneak preview of what's in store, and below, you can check it out.
Apple’s new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are barely out, and akin to the famous Antennagate that plagued the iPhone 4 when it was revealed, these two have sprouted a new debate over the “Bendgate” fiasco as it is being called. In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last few days, Bendgate essentially refers to the iPhone 6 Plus getting bent under pressure, or, in some cases, just by being kept in the pocket for extended periods of time.
We love a freebie or two here, and although it's been a while since we've posted a paid apps gone free article for our Android-wielding readers, we believe that today's mammoth list was well worth the wait. Not only does the list of 20+ apps offer a combined saving well in excess of $100, but there are some huge apps and titles in there from big-name companies like SEGA, Autodesk. If your Android device is in need of some new content, we've all of the details coming right up for you after the leap.
Social media has been abuzz over the past 24 hours with reports that the iPhone 6 Plus has a bit of a problem, in that the aluminum shell appears to bend while in users' pockets with apparently very little force being applied. The controversy has sparked a fierce debate on Twitter, and while some believe that Apple's own design is at fault, others are of the opinion that if you sit on your device or place it in a precarious position, then you're basically asking for trouble. Apple has yet to make a comment, and given that the scale of the issue doesn't seem to be widespread, there's no telling whether the company will release a statement on the matter, but for the sake of entertainment / argument, one YouTuber has also carried out the 'bend test' on a Samsung Galaxy S4. Does it bend? Find out after the fold.
Samsung's share price had dipped to its lowest in two years, and although the continued rumor cycle and subsequent release of Apple's iPhone 6 was one of a number of factors outlined in a new report, there's no question that its Californian rival's decision to roll out two larger-displaying handsets has hurt the Tizen maker.
