As promised by the President of HTC America Jason Macenize last week, AT&T is now in the process of pushing out its rather hefty, much-anticipated over-the-air (OTA) update to all of its carrier-branded HTC One handsets. This upgrade brings Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and Sense 5 to the device, in addition to a mass of additional bug fixes and speed optimizations, as well as Bluetooth 4.0 and a stylish new charging animation for when the handset is powered off.
Despite an abundance of high-end specifications that include a 1080p display and a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, Google’s new Nexus 5 could start at just $299. That’s according to one tipster, who claims the device will be available in 16GB and 32GB variants, each of which will have a different battery capacity.
Samsung’s upcoming mid-range Android-powered smartphone, codenamed the “Garda” (SGH-T399), made its debut appearance in a leaked press render yesterday. We don’t know an awful lot about this device, but we do know that it will be available to purchase on T-Mobile U.S. later this month.
A bunch of rumors have been bandied around over the course of the past two months, suggesting that Motorola is in the process of developing a new budget friendly, low-end Moto X variant, dubbed the DVX. Up until now, we’ve heard a few whispers with regards to the internals of this handset, but little else, thanks to a very well-known Chinese “leaker”, we now know a little bit more about the device.
Samsung has today announced its much-anticipated Galaxy Round, its first smartphone with a curved OLED display. The handset is almost identical to the recently-released Galaxy Note 3 in every way, which means it has a 5.7-inch 1080p display, a 2.3GHz quad-core processor, and 3GB of RAM. The difference is it’s slightly curved.
