Nexus lineup of devices is the prime of Android, being the first in line for any updates and generally spelling out a smartphone or tablet that will receive the maximum love from the Mountain View-based Google. In the recent days, Nexus 5 has become a very shady subject over the blogosphere rumor mill, and now it seems to have made an appearance in the FCC with a few interesting updates.
PayPal v5 For iOS And Android Released: Brand New Design And Impressive New Payment Features [VIDEO]
PayPal is a great service itself and is remarkable to use, but their mobile apps for both iOS and Android, unfortunately aren’t - or maybe wasn’t, taking into account version 5.0 that has been rolled out today for both the smartphone platforms. The new and improved app brings much needed changes to the online payment portal on your phone or tablet, and we’ll be taking a look at the new offerings right after the break.
Nokia is in between a big transition and in the process of being fully acquired by Microsoft over the coming days, but that isn't stopping its German arm from having a bit of run on the way down.
Samsung has just announced the new and improved iteration of the Galaxy Note series, the third revision of its massive Android based phablet. The redesigned device will now feature a 5.7 inch screen (as compared to the 5.3” version of Note 2), and sports a faux-leather back while being a shade lighter at 168g. Details to follow.
The debate over the security of Android devices has been going on for a long time now. More than just an argument that comes up when Apple and Samsung fanboys are duking it out on forums, the security issue facing Google's mobile operating system is either very real or overblown depending on which expert you talk to. Google's own security security engineer Adrian Ludwig says that there is no significant risk posed to Android devices, but then he would say that wouldn't he?
It’s finally here - the Sony Xperia Z1, which might well be the best Android phone on the market today. And it’s not just Sony claiming it; the specifications and the on-board goodies seem to verify the claim to the last bit. Let’s take you on a virtual tour of what Sony unveiled today at its IFA 2013 Press Conference.
HTC One has received accolades of commendation for being an extra-elegant device, and indeed, if you hold it just once, it’s hard to not fall in love with the amazing flagship that the Taiwanese manufacturer has come up with. To make matters more interesting, the company has announced the Vivid Blue variant of the device, aimed to be released for “selected markets” according to official sources.
Google has just unveiled Android 4.4 KitKat. The naming convention for major Android operating system releases doesn't take a genius to figure out. With each new big release getting a name based on popular sweets, and those names following the alphabet series, the next release after Jelly Bean was believed to be called Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. Now, after an announcement by Google itself, it's clear that isn't quite accurate.
Although Sony's unannounced Honami smartphone is rumored to offer 4K recording, prominent computer manufacturer Acer has come through and confirmed a handset offering the capture of ultra-HD video. Named the Liquid S2, the device is set to be fully unveiled at this year's IFA trade show in Berlin, but with 4K video recording and a Snapdragon 800 processor from Qualcomm, we're already pretty excited about it.
Samsung has never been afraid to push the boundaries in the mobile industry, particularly when it comes to display size, and with the Galaxy Note 3 set to pack a panel in excess of 5.5 inches, a leaked render of the alleged Galaxy Note 12.2 - which was originally thought of as a 12-inch tablet PC - has just been spotted in the wild. With numerous vendors said to be preparing larger tablets as we get to what can be very much described as the "hardware end" of the tech calendar, we expect the Korean company to be in amongst the announcements, and although the Galaxy Note 12.2 is still very much at the rumor stage, the shots present a very elegant, naturally large device.
