LG G2 Snap

AT&T is in the process of pushing out a fairly minor over-the-air (OTA) update weighing in at just 57MB to all its carrier-branded LG G2 handsets located in the United States. Although it doesn’t bring any major software improvements, it’s still quite a significant stability update that we would strongly advice all G2 owners to download and install.

Orange-Purple-Galaxy-S4-mini

British smartphone retailer Carphone Warehouse has today unveiled three new additions to its Galaxy S4 mini lineup in pink, orange, and purple. They’re identical to the original Galaxy S4 mini under the hood, and they’re available on all of the U.K.’s major carriers from £21 ($34) a month.

Last month HTC unveiled the One Max, as a dramatically upscaled variant to its immensely popular high-end Android-powered smartphone, the HTC One, and now Sprint has officially announced that the phablet will be available to purchase on any of its 2-year tariffs starting at $299 or for $25 per month with the Sprint One Up program, as from tomorrow, November 15.

Google Play isn’t the only place where you can pick up the new Nexus 5 without a contract, but if you decide to shop elsewhere, you’re likely to pay a lot more for it. In the U.K., for example, the 16GB variant costs £299 ($481) direct from Google, but some stores are charging as much as £400 ($643).

This isn’t just a bid to make a quick buck while the handset is sold out on Google Play. The reason for these high prices is that the cost of the Nexus 5 on Google Play actually undercuts the prices retailers must pay to wholesalers.

ZTE Source

Cricket Wireless has officially announced that the ZTE Source will be the latest budget-friendly smartphone to be added to its “affordable” lineup of Android-powered devices. The Source will launch on Sunday, October 20, and the U.S. carrier will hold exclusivity over the handset at launch.
