Droid Razr HD

Just for today, Verizon is offering the Droid Razr HD completely free of charge on any of its 2-year contracts — that’s an impressive saving of $99.99. This offer is part of Big Red’s Cyber Monday promotions scheme, and for a limited time only it is also be offering any new line activations free of charge. So if that’s not an incentive to purchase a new phone, I don’t know what is.

HTC-One-white-front

AT&T has officially announced that its offering HTC’s flagship smartphone of 2013, the One, completely free of charge on any of its 2-year contracts in celebration of Cyber Monday. This promotion will be available for the rest of today and will expire at 23:59 PDT later tonight.

LG-G-Pad-83

Newegg is the latest retailer to jump on the Cyber Monday bandwagon, and to celebrate is offering significant reductions on both LG’s flagship tablet, the G Pad 8.3, and Dell’s newly-announced Venue 8. This promotion is only available for today and will expire at midnight.

KitKat 10

Google has successfully managed to roll out the Android 4.4 KitKat update for all the supported Nexus and Google Play edition devices within a couple of weeks of the OS being announced. Sadly, the current build of KitKat is not without its issues and contains a lot of bugs and issues, especially on the Nexus 5.

Google has already stated that it is working on an update that should fix most of the issues with KitKat. Turns out, the update might just be  around the corner and might land before Christmas arrives. 

MotoX-9869

It was widely expected that the Nexus 5 from Google would also include the always on listening feature as seen on the Moto X, since the Snapdragon S800 processor has a dedicated core for audio processing while barely sipping any power. While the Nexus 5 does have the ‘Ok, Google’ feature, it only works on the home screen, and not when the device screen is turned off.

As it turns out, there is more to Motorola’s Touchless control feature than what meets the eye.
