Pocketnow Weekly 096: phone lasers, remixes, and the false promise of “Prime”

Posted on May 16, 2014 by Michael Fisher

What exactly qualifies as a “remix?” How deluded do you have to be to believe in all these “Prime” rumors? Why are we so transfixed by the notion of lasers on smartphones, and so easily taken in by a smartphone commercial, if it’s shot like a trailer for Inception? We tackle these questions, and the biggest announcement section in the history of the podcast, in episode 096 of the Pocketnow Weekly. No, that’s not bragging – it’s just an unavoidable symptom of a month packed with unboxings, hands-ons, product launches, and reviews (both ...

Mysterious HTC One Remix rumored to be Verizon’s One mini 2

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

HTC has been doing its darnedest to keep us busy lately, between dropping the One mini 2 on us and all this impossible-to-ignore prep work for new One M8 color options. Yesterday we looked into one of the latest HTC rumors, as a trademark for the HTC One Remix was discovered, alongside the claim that his model was destined for Verizon. We spouted-out a few theories at the time, including the ...

HTC One mini 2 is a pint-sized One M8, launching in June

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Michael Fisher

While it’s suffered nowhere near as much early exposure as its higher-end sibling, HTC’s newest product has been breaking cover in bits and pieces since earlier this month. Today, the company finally took the wraps off of the “lite” version of its ...

HTC One M8 mini could drop a number of M8 features

Posted on May 14, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

When a smartphone manufacturer release a “mini” version of one of its flagship models, we fully expect some features to fall by the wayside. Sure, it would be nice if the only things that changed were handset dimensions and screen size, but this is the reality of the market. With the HTC One M8 mini (or One mini 2, depending on how it launches), we’ve already been anticipating some places where it might fail to mirror its big brother: it seems we’re not getting ...

HTC One mini 2 pricing tentatively leaked by Finnish retailers

Posted on May 9, 2014 by Anton D. Nagy

The HTC One mini 2 will surely arrive, sooner or later, that’s for sure, and that’s about the only sure thing we know so far, judging by the company’s last year release schedule and policy. Yes, we’ve seen alleged press renders leak, and we’ve also heard chatter about its purported specs (4.5-inch 720p screen, Snapdragon 400 SoC, 13-megapixel camera replacing), but until HTC officially unveils it, it’s still in the “rumor” category. That, however, didn’t stop ...

HTC One mini 2 in-the-wild pic hints at color options

Posted on May 5, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Last week we check out one of the first supposed renders of the HTC One mini 2 (back then being referred to as the One M8 mini), but we weren’t exactly buying it, noticing some irregularities that pointed to a possible composite image. But then this morning we shared with you a much more legitimate-looking render, depicting the One mini 2 in three color options. Those neutral-and-gold shades may be how the phone ultimately arrives (mirroring the One ...

HTC One mini 2 press render leaks, will allegedly arrive without Duo Camera

Posted on May 5, 2014 by Anton D. Nagy

There was little to no doubt that we’ll see a mini version of the HTC One (M8), just as we are sure that the Galaxy S5 Mini is well on its way. However, despite the obvious M8 mini name we expected, we’ve recently learned that HTC might go with something different: HTC One mini 2. The information landed from @evleaks, the same way as the render you see above. We’re ...

Rumored HTC One M8 mini branding is a little unexpected

Posted on May 1, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Is a little consistency too much to ask for from smartphone manufacturers? We pick up the So-And-So TalkMate II, enjoy our experience with it, and when it’s time to shop for a new phone, we’re on the lookout for the TalkMate III or IV. Sometimes it really is that simple, but then there are those manufacturers who can’t seem to help themselves from constantly fiddling with branding. Liked that Galaxy S 4 Zoom last year? Unless you’ve been keeping up with the industry, would you ever know to look for the ...
