The iPhone 6 comes armed with a fast new A8 processor, but some fanboys were disappointed to discover the new chip only sports 1GB, when most premium Android handsets are rolling 2GB deep with more GHz on the spec sheet than iPhone 6 can match.

iPhone 6 has performed admirably in GeekBench tests, but to see how Apple’s new phone compares in the real world, PhoneBuff created a multi-tasking obstacle course, where the iPhone and it’s competition had to jump from app to app in the fastest time possible.

HTC One (M8) and the Samsung Galaxy S5 both have 2GB of RAM, when it comes to everyday use the iPhone 6 doesn’t just beat the competition, it nearly runs a lap around the Galaxy S5.

Check out the action below:

LG may have been one of Android Wear’s first supporters with its G Watch and upcoming G Watch R, but that doesn’t mean it has no plans to compete against it. The South Korean firm’s website confirms that it is developing a second smartwatch line powered by the webOS platform it acquired from HP back in 2013.

Buying a smartphone off-contract isn’t cheap these days — especially not if you buy from luxury handset maker Vertu. The company’s latest offering is the Aster, an Android-powered device with a sapphire glass screen, front-facing Dolby stereo speakers, and an incredible $6,900 price tag.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday: A smartphone unboxing underwater. British retailer Carphone Warehouse came up with the ingenious idea for the new Sony Xperia Z3 to highlight one of its biggest selling points — its IP68 rating for water-resistance — and it’s just as great as you’d expect.

Leak: Sina Weibo

A leaked poster published on Chinese social network Weibo has allegedly revealed the upcoming HTC One M8 EYE ahead of its official unveiling. The device looks identical to the original One M8, seemingly confirming that the only differences between the two will be internal. Rumor has it they will all be focused on its front- and rear-facing cameras.
