Amazon’s first smartphone could be a pretty impressive piece of hardware, if some of the rumors we’ve been hearing check out. Putting aside the question of what company might actually design and manufacture the hardware for a moment, we’ve been hearing about a handset with pseudo-3D visual effects and in-air motion tracking. That latter system would supposedly work thanks to an array of ...

Mobile Oculus Rift VR headset confirmed for Android
After some early stabs late last century, virtual reality looks like it may finally be ready to become a commercial success, and we have the Oculus Rift to thank. The VR headset was a huge Kickstarter success, and work has been underway ever since to tweak the hardware until it’s ready to hit stores. While already set up to be a smash on the PC, over the summer we heard some chatter about how the Oculus Rift might take advantage of mobile devices, possibly even connecting to next-gen smartphones. Back then, nothing was set ...

Samsung may have to skip optical stabilization for Galaxy S 5
Optical image stabilization is a funny technology. It definitely offers some real-world benefits – even the words in its name sound pretty high-end and technical – but it’s not a magic bullet that’s going to turn your smartphone into a Steadicam. Still, it’s a feature that the public’s been clamoring for, and we’ve already seen it show in in a few phones. Over the past several months, we’ve been talking about

HTC hooking saved-by-an-EVO-3D guy up with new HTC One
Remember yesterday morning, when we told you about that wild story of the gas station robbery where the HTC EVO 3D one employee was carrying in his pocket ended up catching the robber’s bullet? Call it a testament to HTC’s build quality, or just dumb luck, but we’re sure that guy was very happy he had his phone on him that day. Problem is, it’s totally busted now; luckily, HTC is to the rescue. After hearing about the incident, HTC decided to put together a little care package, including not just a ...

Lenovo introduces eight- and ten-inch Yoga Tablets with convertible kickstands
Lenovo’s been all over the place with some unusual mobile electronics lately, and in some less-than-standard form factors. We just looked at an Android laptop with non-detachable keyboard the other week, and today we learn of two new tablets from the manufacturer, each with an odd design of its own. The eight-inch and ten-inch Lenovo Yoga Tablets both have a bulky cylinder on one edge, from which a convertible kickstand rotates out. That can be twisted to either hold the tablet ...

So far, Google’s been fine-tuning Glass and getting ready for the innovative headset’s launch with the help of some early adopters. While those users still have to buy their own (very expensive) Glass hardware, it’s nonetheless a pretty limited program, making participation a coveted position. Yesterday, the company announced plans to greatly expand the scope of this testing, inviting current users to offer up to three friends the chance to get involved with ...

New Nexus 5 pics pour in from multiple sources
Are we really just days away from the Nexus 5′s launch?

In any case, as we wait for this rascal to go official, we’ve got several new looks at the hardware to share with you.
