Leaked Samsung hardware shots show experimentation with colors and metal

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

One week from Monday, Samsung will host its CES 2015 press event, bringing us news of its latest mobile electronics. Despite the occasional rumor that the manufacturer could come ready to show off the Galaxy S6, it’s probably a lot more likely that we’ll see some lower-key products launch – maybe a tablet or two?

HTC tipped to start 2015 with entry-level phone push

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

On the hardware front, much of the HTC rumor action we’ve seen as of late has focused on the flagship side: this hardware codenamed Hima, which may just play the role of the anticipated One M9. But while Hima may grab the headlines, there’s also been action on the less-well-equipped side of the scale, and earlier this week we heard rumors about the A12, supposed to be more of a mid-ranger. That model may not be alone in the ...

New Samsung Z1 Tizen phone pics surface

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

With the end of the year now in sight, it seems pretty safe to say that 2014 is going to pass us by without the release of a smartphone running the Tizen platform. While the operating system has made its way into things like cameras and smartwatches, Samsung’s efforts to deliver a handset powered by Tizen have so far come up short – we got so close with the announcement of the Samsung Z back in June, but that never had the momentum to make it through to a commercial release. And while 2014 won’t be the ...

Will speed chargers kill your battery?

Posted on by Joe Levi

One thing all our portable electronics have in common, whether smartphone, tablet, phablet, or wearable; or Android, Windows Phone, or iOS, is the battery. Unlike desktop computers that get their power through a plug in the wall, all of these devices have to carry their own power source onboard, and battery capacity hasn’t really kept up with the rest of the tech inside our devices. To combat this, OEMs have tried to introduce new ways to keep our portables charged. From SoCs that are more energy efficient, more power conscious code, Qi wireless ...
