Meet Samsung's latest 'Camera-Specialized Smartphone'.

Meet Samsung’s latest ‘Camera-Specialized Smartphone’.

Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve seen an awful lot of speculation and leaked images of the Galaxy K Zoom, but this afternoon Samsung put paid to that by finally unveiling the handset. It’s clear that the device is a successor to the South Korean company’s first camera/smartphone hybrid, the S4 Zoom, which launched in the summer of 2013, but sadly as you can see from the render above, it doesn’t look any prettier at all.

Amazon’s rumored smartphone might be loaded with radical new hardware and strange UI gestures, but its most powerful feature could be its ability to drive down mobile data prices.

A specialized data plan called Amazon Prime Data will make its debut on Amazon’s phone, according to a report from BGR attributed to “multiple trusted sources.” If the anonymous sources’ information proves accurate, Prime Data could take the sting out of binging on streaming movies, TV shows and music. More importantly, Amazon’s bold initiative could force the entire industry to lower prices, much like Bezos has done with books, online shopping and tablets.

I can’t wait to get my hands on the OnePlus One. Its design and specifications make it one of the most exciting smartphones we’ve seen this year; it’s equipped to compete with rivals like the HTC One M8 and the Samsung Galaxy S5. In addition, it’s a steal at $299.

But we know it’s not going to be easy to get hold of one — at least not initially.

You may be tempted to take part in the OnePlus “Smash the Past” competition that gives you the chance to win the new device by smashing up your old one, then — but it’s a downright stupid idea, and you shouldn’t even think about taking part.

Fenix

I discovered an awesome new Twitter client when I was browsing Google Play earlier this week, and after using it for the past four days, I’m encouraging everyone I know with an Android device to go get it.

It’s called Fenix, and it’s the best third-party Twitter client you’ll find — for many reasons. Not only does it look good, but it’s easy to use, customizable, and feature-packed. Here’s why you should download it today.

Last week a Samsung representative reported to the Korean Media that its upcoming flagship phablet, the Note 4, will feature a ‘new form factor’. Now a new patent application has surfaced on the web that allegedly showcases this new form factor and how the South Korean company is incorporating flexible display technology.
