We’re all very critical of smartphone performance. High end phones are expensive, and ideally they should solve more problems than they create. Also, with each successive generation of phone, we expect a phone to do more and to do those new tasks faster than the previous generation of device.We can benchmark processors, show off camera improvements, and listen to the audio output, but some aspects of our electronics are more difficult to test. There are also significant differences to account for when looking at devices from different manufacturers, or devices operating on different ...

Just because iOS 9’s getting a quick take-up doesn’t mean people aren’t having a hard time wading through the curds and whey.

Why would anyone deliberately add almost 1/3 second delay to interactions with web pages? Believe it or not, there’s a legitimate reason behind it — but it’s one that Google intends to remove — when applicable. One of the major challenges Apple, Google, Microsoft, and others faced when ...

A common thread that comes up when people learn that I’m Joe the Android Guy™ is the sentiment that “Android is laggy”. So let’s set the story straight: Android isn’t laggy — but your cheap phone or tablet may be. The problem isn’t with the operating system.

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. Pocketnow is currently in the midst of reviewing the BlackBerry Q10, a peculiar blend of yesterday’s design cues with a modern OS – and we’re enjoying the feeling of real physical keys ...
