The device in question is said to be called the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo, and given its entry-level nature, its specs won’t make any jaws drop. It is rumored that the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo comes with a 3-inch QVGA screen – that’s 240 by... (more...)

The Lumia 620 is Nokia’s the new masterpiece for the global masses. Iits fun, youthful design so typical of the Lumia line will help it stand out from competitors in the same price point. Still a dual-core Windows 8 phone with front and rear cameras, the 620 isn’t as stacked with high-end features as its fellows — the screen comes in sub-4 inches, there are some design flaws, and there’s no wireless charging. However, NFC, an anti-glare screen, and a decent camera make it... (more...)

Recently Microsoft and Nokia staged a joint event to announce their forthcoming Windows Phone 8 flagship in the Lumia 820 and 920 smartphones.

As expected after weeks of leaks, Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Note II, and this version reflects subtle changes for the better rather than a massive redesign. Starting with the bodyshell, the new design takers obvious cues from the Galaxy S III with a new HD Super AMOLED display at 5.5 inches, which is actually .3 inches smaller than the display found on the recently announced Galaxy Player 5.8 with an even denser pixel density, as the Note II’s display is set at 720p resolution... (more...)

  Back just a few years ago, the possibility of being able to experience HD graphics on a portable device was a pipe dream. We were not even at the stage where HD televisions were widely available yet, and mobile phones were just beginning to appear with colour screens. Gaming devices have come on in leaps and bounds since those days. The technology that was innovative and cutting edge back then informed and inspired what we know today, but nonetheless, the technology that was available even... (more...)

My carrier contract is about to expire in a month or so and I’ll definitely use the opportunity to get the new phone with a new two-year contract. Two devices that top my list are the Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC One X, both rocking pretty similar specs. As an existing (and pretty satisfied) Galaxy S II owner I’m inclined to get Samsung’s smartphone, even though its camera isn’t as great as the one HTC’s baby sports. However, SGS3 does have a slightly bigger screen which is always a plus,... (more...)
