A new Motorola smartphone has surfaced in images and video from Vietnam ahead of the handset’s official unveiling. The device sports a design unlike anything we’ve seen from Motorola in recent years, with a small resemblance to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. But is this the flagship “X Phone” we’ve been expecting? It doesn’t look like it.
The HTC Developer Edition isn’t actually transparent, unfortunately.
If you’re planning to pick up the incredible new HTC One, but you want to ensure you’re going to be able to tinker with it and use any SIM from any carrier you choose, then you’re going to be delighted with HTC’s latest announcement. The company has unveiled the One Developer Edition, which comes with an unlocked SIM and bootloader for $649.
Samsung has confirmed it will announce the much-anticipated Galaxy S IV at a public launch event in New York City’s Times Square on March 14, but until then, the details surrounding the handset’s design and specifications remain a mystery.
Recent reports have offered hints at what the new device may offer, and according to the latest, there will be two versions — one powered by Qualcomm’s quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, and one powered by Samsung’s eight-core Exynos 5 Octa chip. But why do we need two?
BARCELONA, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS — Chip maker Qualcomm has teamed up with DoubleTwist, the creator of one of the most popular media players for Android, to develop a new media streaming service called MagicPlay. The open source protocol will allow any Android device to stream media — including music, movies, and photos — to anything with a Qualcomm chip running the AllJoyn protocol, competing with existing streaming services like DLNA.
BARCELONA, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS — Thanks to the original PadFone’s rather disappointing start, we thought the probability of seeing a successor at Mobile World Congress was slim at best. But we couldn’t be more wrong. Asus has just unveiled the PadFone Infinity, a 5-inch smartphone that transforms into a 10.1-inch tablet with the help of a clever docking station.
The device has some impressive specifications, including a 1080p display, a quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, and a 13-megapixel camera. But do you really want a smartphone that transforms into a tablet? We went hands-on with the device to find out.
