Intel’s re-emergence on the smartphone scene has been a weird little story so far. The company seems to have realized the big mistake it made by not capitalizing on the smartphone market from the get-go, and is now trying to get its chips into new hardware. Problem is, despite being such a huge player in the CPU game, smartphone manufacturers haven’t exactly been running in droves to sign up for Intel chips. Now, Windows 8 devices are one story, but when it comes to Android, ...

The Xperia Z was one of the first of this year’s Android flagships to reveal itself, and while it’s clearly not competing on quite the same level as a Galaxy S 4 or even an HTC One, it’s still a really nice smartphone: it’s got a great 1080p display and unlike so many of the other hero devices from major OEMs (at least until the GS4 Active arrives, we suppose), the Xperia Z isn’t afraid of a little water. The problem – at least here in the US – has been getting your hands on the phone. Sure, you could order ...

Earlier today we got surprise confirmation that Google will sell a stock Android version of the HTC One, just like it’s planning to do with the Galaxy S 4. In the comments to that post, we noticed some of you musing about the possibility of taking one of the Nexus-style ROMs this phone will run and flashing it to an unlocked regular HTC One handset. While we don’t yet have a firm answer as to just what might be possible, what little HTC has said sounds like good news. The company claims that it’s ...

It seems that 2013 is all about the tech giants that are struggling, or the tech giants that are enjoying an incredible amount of success. It’s funny how there’s hardly any company in between. Even funnier is that most of the tech giants that are struggling singlehandedly owned or invented these markets just a couple of years ago. Whether it’s Nokia, BlackBerry or HTC, we are all somewhat saddened by seeing how these great innovators just can’t figure it out. Albert Einstein once said: “The significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level ...

Android 4.3 is very likely just around the corner, and while we’ve seen the platform running on Nexus devices, which is no big surprise, the more pertinent question may be which non-Google models will be seeing their own updates to 4.3 arrive. There’s a list going around which purports to reveal some of HTC’s update strategy, but we’ve got more than a few questions about just how accurate it may be. The list in question first surfaced nearly a week ...

Google’s Sundar Pichai is a regular fount of information as he participates in the D11 conference today; he’s already brought us news of the stock Android HTC One, as well as confirmed plans to bring All Access to Apple users. Now we’ve got one more new piece to add, with Pichai bringing word of how all these “Google Edition” devices will affect the Nexus lineup as we know it. When asked flat-out if in light of the stock Android ...

A few days back we first heard the name T6, supposedly the internal designation by which HTC was developing a new Android phablet. While some evidence turned up that sure made the T6 seem real, and suggested that it could be coming to a number of different carriers, we didn’t really have all that much to go on. Some earlier rumors of an HTC phablet – back before we had even heard this codename – talked about a device with a display in the five-to-six-inch ...

In the mobile world, carrier exclusivity is a mixed bag. Sometimes, it results in a huge boon to both carrier and manufacturer: witness the astonishing heights to which the iPhone propelled AT&T after its exclusive debut on then-Cingular’s network in 2007. On other occasions, though, the mating of a device to a lone provider doesn’t work out as well – as the Sprint/Palm partnership proved with the Pre in 2009. The exclusive mating of Nokia’s Lumia 900 with AT&T resulted neither in runaway success nor dismal failure – but it’s easy to see how the ...
