Samsung launched both the Galaxy Core LTE and Core Advanced earlier this year, and now it looks as if the South Korean Company is already looking to replace the original Galaxy Core. This weekend, a press render together with a handful of specifications surfaced on the internet allegedly revealing the design and internal configuration of this upcoming handset which is rumored to launch next month.

Are you among the unlucky few whose brand new Galaxy S5 camera is giving a “Warning: Camera failed” error every time you try to launch it? Well, here is some more bad news for you. The issue is not related to software but the hardware and the only way to fix it is to take the phone to your nearest Samsung or carrier maintained shops and get a replacement phone instead. 

HTC’s One smartphones have been a beacon of superior design among Android handsets, yet amid slumping sales even that bright light is dimming for the struggling smartphone maker as its head of design has decided to leave the company.

The man behind HTC’s One smartphone line, Scott Croyle, has announced that he is leaving the Taiwanese company after leading the industrial design and user experience teams since his studio One & Co was acquired in 2008.

I can’t wait to get my hands on the OnePlus One. Its design and specifications make it one of the most exciting smartphones we’ve seen this year; it’s equipped to compete with rivals like the HTC One M8 and the Samsung Galaxy S5. In addition, it’s a steal at $299.

But we know it’s not going to be easy to get hold of one — at least not initially.

You may be tempted to take part in the OnePlus “Smash the Past” competition that gives you the chance to win the new device by smashing up your old one, then — but it’s a downright stupid idea, and you shouldn’t even think about taking part.

You love everything the Galaxy S5 has to offer — except its somewhat tacky plastic form factor. What if you could get one that ditched the Band-Aid-like backplate for one covered in Swarovski crystals?

You’ll be able to in May, when Samsung launches its new Galaxy S5 Crystal Collection, teased in the short video below.
