As if to prove how big it is now, and to double down on the all-important software efforts, Samsung is now a company with its own developers conference. That's right, after Apple, Google and Microsoft, Samsung is showing that it is at least that important for developers, gracing them with their own dedicated event...
Late Monday, we showed you a picture of the Motorola DROID Ultra wearing a 'V' shaped black and white racing stripe down the Kevlar back; this, we figured, was a picture of the Limited Edition version of the Motorola DROID Ultra. We started thinking aloud about the possibility that this would be a version of the phone offered to Verizon employees at a discount. Just a way for Big Red's executives to thank the reps for all of their hard work...
More leaks have surfaced of the upcoming the Motorola X smartphone, this time regarding the software on the device, specifically the camera software. As can be seen from these screenshots, Motorola has gone for a brand new UI for the camera application that is unlike their standard UI seen on their previous DROID phones, nor is it like the stock Android camera app. The new camera...
Canonical, the company behind the highly popular Linux Distro has revealed its plans for a cutting edge high end smartphone running the Ubuntu OS for smartphones. The OS, formally launched at the Mobile World Congress(which we went hands on with) was in the alpha stage and a demo had been made available for some Android devices too, but it was never ready to be a daily driver. While that is supposed to change soon, Canonical wants to make a really high end device that would hopefully end the hunt for convergence, a single device that does it all. And that, my friends, is the Ubuntu Edge. Here's a video of the Canonical boss explaining the whole idea behind the Ubuntu Edge - httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQLe3iIMN7k As you noted above, the Edge is actually a really ambitious project with high end specifications. It is even more ambitious when you consider that it is depending on a massive 32 million dollar crowd funded goal to actually produce the device and launch it in 2014, a good year after the reveal. The idea is clear, but are there enough tech enthusiasts that can fund the Ubuntu Edge? Well, it might probably convince you if you look at ...
We just saw Nokia tease the Lumia 625 yesterday. While we were pretty sure it was the Lumia 625 that is going to be announced today, some others thought it might be a tablet, but as a tradition these days, the full specifications and colourful press images of the Lumia 625 have leaked out on to the internet, just ahead of launch, confirming our suspicions about the device. The usual Data Sheet that is given to journalists with the press kit has leaked out from Finland's own Puhelinvertailu and it tells us a lot more than what we already know. Read past the break to find the full specifications of the Lumia 625. As you can see from the above image, the Lumia 625 was what Nokia teased yesterday, the bright orange colour being the indicator. The specifications largely remain the same as the Lumia 620 except for some key differences, lets go through them. The design has slightly changed, with obvious increase in screen real estate and the inclusion of 2.25D curved Corning Gorilla glass 2. The shell however is dual shot, just like the Lumia 620, with an opaque inner layer and a transparent outer layer. The device also ...
Last week, Samsung told us to expect the introduction shortly of an evolved, enhanced version of its Exynos 5 Octa-core processor; on Monday, the chip was unveiled and the new Samsung Exynos 5420 will include a six-core ARM Mali-T628 GPU that handles 3D graphics twice as fast as the previous Exynos 5 Octa-core...
