If “Prime” smartphones are truly better, they should come out first

Posted on June 19, 2014 by Adam Doud

Remember how excited you were? Think back. Think way back to February in the year two thousand fourteen – seems like ages ago doesn’t it – and how exciting it was for Samsung to be launching its newest flagship device, just under a year after the GS4 hit the stage. Are you harkening? Do you feel the thrill? The excitement?You don’t?Well good, you shouldn’t. Because it all meant absolutely zero, zip, zilch. That’s right, it’s ‘Prime’ time people. No, not the time when your favorite show – Dancing with the American Ninja ...

HTC puts One M8 Prime on ice?

Posted on May 30, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

All of a sudden, HTC’s One family has started looking like it’s about to get quite crowded. We saw HTC China go official with the phone we’ve been tracking as the One M8 Ace, and new rumors arrived to suggest that we’d be seeing an HTC One M8 Plus, as well as a One M8 Advance, launch late this summer. And in addition to all of that, there have been those rumors of an M8 ...

HTC, what ever happened to the ‘less is more’ mentality?

Posted on May 28, 2014 by Taylor Martin

The last few years have not been the best for HTC. Its market share, revenues, and profits have all been sliding while its largest competitor, Samsung, has been raking in more sales, profits, and the like. Such has been the case for most smartphone manufacturers (who are not Apple and Samsung, of course), but HTC’s journey, in particular, makes for an interesting story. Despite its several fumbles and missteps since 2011, it still has a massive, die-hard following around its smartphones. Whether it’s due to the elegant hardware and design, ultra high standards in build quality, ...

Posted on May 23, 2014 by Michael Fisher

A great many artists and musicians, actually, and we talk to a particularly talented one on today’s podcast. Ali Spagnola joins us in the feature segment to share tales of music making, drinking games, and just how one gets banned from Michigan – and on the way we learn exactly how a pair of ringtones called “Radiation” ...

HTC One M8 Prime render suggests camera won’t be flush

Posted on May 20, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Last week’s launch of the HTC One mini 2 brought us a brief reprieve from the One M8 Prime rumors that had been otherwise dominating chatter about the manufacturer, but now we’re right back in the saddle, ready to start talking about what’s coming from this rumored upgrade to the One M8. Yesterday we looked at some possible specs and the claim that the phone could be constructed from some pretty high-end materials. Today we’re ...

HTC One M8 Prime’s “coolest feature” may be the unusual material it’s made of

Posted on May 19, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

With last year’s One, HTC really made a point to place design, material choice, and build quality at the forefront of its smartphone offerings; say what you will about how wise a choice UltraPixel may have been, but it’s hard to argue that the One (or any of its successors) is anything other than a phone that looks and feels great. Where does HTC go from here, though? Is there any way to bump things up a notch and make a premium-feeling smartphone even more desirable? That’s what we’re wondering about this morning, as a series of new

Pocketnow Weekly 096: phone lasers, remixes, and the false promise of “Prime”

Posted on May 16, 2014 by Michael Fisher

What exactly qualifies as a “remix?” How deluded do you have to be to believe in all these “Prime” rumors? Why are we so transfixed by the notion of lasers on smartphones, and so easily taken in by a smartphone commercial, if it’s shot like a trailer for Inception? We tackle these questions, and the biggest announcement section in the history of the podcast, in episode 096 of the Pocketnow Weekly. No, that’s not bragging – it’s just an unavoidable symptom of a month packed with unboxings, hands-ons, product launches, and reviews (both ...

“HTC One Remix” rumored for Verizon, but what the heck is it?

Posted on May 14, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

What’s next in the running from HTC and its smartphones? We’ve been talking a lot about a One M8 mini/One mini 2 that could be right around the corner, and a little further down the line we might get some kind of M8 Prime with a higher-res 2K display than the 1080p panel currently on the One M8. We’ve also got a possible new Butterfly and

HTC M8 Prime with 2K display rumored for September

Posted on May 6, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

While telling you about HTC’s plans for profitability just a few moments ago, we mentioned what the smartphone market might look like as we start moving into the trailing end of the year: Apple will have a new iPhone (or two), Samsung will probably have a new Note out, and somewhere along the line we might even see this 2K resolution GS5 that continues to be rumored. But last year HTC’s year-end offerings were a little weak, giving us the somewhat-confused ...
