A preview clip of the interface shows implies that the main model Mate 10 will get a 1080 x 2160 display. Does this settle the score on screens?

I like Windows Phone. No, really. I do. Most of you jump to conclusions and call me a hater because I can see flaws in products and tell it like it is. At the end of the day, I love all mobile platforms – maybe not as equally as I should sometimes. But I definitely love mobile software, and I’m a sucker for an underdog. So, yes, I like Windows Phone. I tried the first few Windows Phone 7 handsets, I owned the Lumia 900 on launch day, and I drooled over the 920 at the press event. However, I haven’t been able to take the platform for more than a few days at a time since the ...

We recently had the opportunity to review the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, an experience we enjoyed primarily because of the device’s innovative hardware: a 6.9mm-thick, 495g chassis that manages to squeeze water- and dust-resistance onto its list of features.

Interface design on mobile platforms has undergone some massive improvements and countless changes since the beginning of smartphones. Mobile operating systems in the BlackBerry era were heavily engineered and barely had the warm touch of a designer well-versed in user experience, if at all.

The BlackBerry Settings app was nothing but a stark, bare text list of ...

If I were prone to beating dead horses, I’m sure I could hammer out a handful of wordy editorials about how iOS is boring, dated, and in dire need of a face-lift. But I don’t like beating anything, especially not something as futile and helpless as a horse that’s already dead. Let’s look at the situation from another perspective for a minute, shall we? It’s no secret. The interface has grown very long in the tooth and reeks of UI design of years past. In regards to iOS, ...

The Android interface has drastically changed over the last six years. Few of us care to recall the days of Gingerbread, where the operating system was accented with two contrasting colors – neon orange and green – and an uninspired interface. Dare we think back to FroYo and beyond, where the notification shade was an odd shade of light gray (slightly 0ff-white) and the app drawer was literally a drawer that had to be opened by a upward finger swipe.
