Most will agree that Windows Phone 8.1 was more than just a minor point update. We even gave it a full review. It bore a ton of new and useful features which finally put Windows Phone on the map for many people. Cortana, for example, is a major win for the platform. Action Center is a no-brainer. And the Start page got some much-needed pizzaz.The Windows Phone 8.1 update has come and gone. Maybe it’s just because I don’t use Windows Phone regularly, or maybe it’s just because the ...

Who’s ready for a little Funkausstellung? We’re about a week away from the start of IFA 2014, where mobile device manufacturers from all around the world will descend on Berlin to show off their newest products.

There have been a ton of rumors surrounding a Google Nexus 9 made by HTC. Sadly, aside from a couple of model numbers here and there, the amount of detail regarding what will power this HTC-made tablet have been quite scarce.

Usually, when I hit Publish on a review, I’ve had enough time to mull over the words and reread everything enough to be completely certain of everything I wrote. And if I question anything, I can just grab the phone, double-check my thoughts, and reassure myself that I got it right – right then and there, firsthand proof.In all the phones I’ve reviewed, there was only one time I can recall that I hit publish and immediately wanted to take it back. It wasn’t that I was unsure of what I had said. It was that, no matter how certain I was, I didn’t want to believe ...

The image quality of photos taken with a smartphone camera flash have always been a topic of debate. Some mock the color reproduction, while others just want to see their face on the night shot, and could care less about quality.

Earlier this week, rumors about Google’s follow-up to the Nexus 5 took a turn. We had already been talking about the idea of Motorola manufacturing this hardware, and after rumors bounced around the theory that we could be looking at a 5.9-inch phablet-sized handset, they settled back at a slightly more mainstream 5.2-inch screen size. But all of a sudden, it looked like we might not be getting the Nexus 6 we assumed would we be on the menu, and instead

The more time goes by, the more we’re convinced that Apple’s announcement of the iPhone 6 will happen on September 9. More than one credible source has confirmed this data, and it does make sense if you look back to previous iPhone announcements over the last couple of years. That said, if you’re wondering which day you should call in sick in order to make that crazy line, well, there are rumors to back ...

“No way, the Note 4′s coming out? Dude, I want a Note 4,” exclaims Mark Hunter, the subject of one of Samsung’s latest Note 4 teaser videos. Going back a week now, we’ve been checking out these promotional clips the company has been publishing, leading up to its Unpacked event at IFA next week. At first they were a little vague, reminding us of why we liked the existing Note line and alluding to an IFA announcement, but by ...

Is there any real mystery left in smartphones? We’ve got all these companies teasing their IFA announcements, and while many aren’t outright announcing new products already (except you, LG – you’re a kook), they’re pretty much doing everything but. And while there’s still a lot of uncertainty around products like the new iPhones, few of us are doubting that the phones themselves exist. How about some news ...

It often seems there’s a direct correlation between the widespread use of mobile technology and typos. Let’s face it: being precise while typing on a mobile device can be a real pain, and the autocorrect only makes things worse at times. How often have you sent a text message or an email only to discover an embarrassing mistake a minute later?Although there are plenty of keyboard apps aimed at taking the frustration out of mobile typing,

Smartwatches are promising to be some of the real spotlight-stealers at IFA next week, where models like a new curved-display, cellular-connected Gear from Samsung, and that round-faced LG G Watch R are expected.
