ASUS unwrapped a trio of affordable Android-powered smartphones at CES earlier today, available in four, five and six-inch models. The ZenFone 6 is the company’s latest flagship smartphone, packing a fairly sizeable 6-inch display. Whilst both the ZenFone 4 and ZenFone 5 are both targeted at the lower, more budget-friendly market.
Earlier today, ASUS introduced us to a more compact, scaled-down and lightweight version of its flagship Padfone unit, entitled the ‘Padfone mini’. The 4-inch smartphone will now slot into the 7-inch tablet dock in a portrait orientation, as apposed to landscape one, which was typical for the two previous generations of this device.
Huawei took center stage at CES in Las Vegas today to present its flagship smartphone of 2014, the Ascend Mate 2 4G. It’s the OEM’s first handset to be optimized for LTE networks all over the world, including AT&T and T-Mobile in the United States.
Who remembers HTC’s Droid Incredible 4G LTE? Well, Verizon finally has. The operator has at last posted the official update documents for its first major maintenance upgrade in just under two years. The paperwork reveals that update version 2.19.605.2710RD is scheduled to bring some new applications, as well as a truckload of stability improvements, security patches, bug fixes and speed optimizations.
In the midst of its press conference ahead of CES in Las Vegas, this morning, LG let slip that its first curved flexible smartphone, the G Flex, will indeed be coming to AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile during Q1 of 2014, thus confirming weeks of leaks, rumors and speculation.
