One of the things that Android and Google both cop flack over is the speed at which updates to the Android OS filter out to both new phones and as updates to older devices. One of the reasons specified previously by OEMs has been the fact that they don't receive access to the source code for the latest update until Google Continue reading...

Take this with a huge grain of salt, but we've been hearing from a few people -- and it's been posted on Telstra's own community forums -- that the HTC One XL for Telstra may have been delayed until the middle of June (next month). We've heard no definitive reason for the delay, but it has been Continue reading...

Phonearena has been sent this photo from a tipster claiming to be the final design sans generic box that Samsung has been reportedly using to test the internals for the hotly anticipated phone which will be launched next Friday morning our time. The phone in the photo appears to be very similar to the Galaxy Nexus Continue reading...

According to a report out by DigiTimes, Google has chosen Samsung to manufacturer the fourth generation device in the Nexus Series. Samsung are no stranger to making a Nexus device now that they have the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus under their belt. From DigiTimes: ”Since Samsung has become the top vendor of Android smartphones, Google will Continue reading...

On May 3rd we fully expect to see Samsung unveil the Galaxy S III and they have held any information regarding their flagship phone very tightly up to and including camouflaging the internal parts in generic cases, but that doesn't mean we have to stop looking right? To that end I've been searching through various certification databases and found Continue reading...

You know all those "leaks" of devices that we're told have been the Samsung Galaxy S III? Well if The Verge's source is correct -- and it sounds like they are -- then they've all been somewhat fake. The source says that Samsung have been protecting the real design of the Galaxy S III in every way possible. A part Continue reading...

Samsung may have finally realised their new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 cannot compete with the new iPad in its current form, so rumour is they've stopped production of the currently unreleased tablet to fit it with a new Quad-Core CPU, instead of a Dual-Core one. This will give them a one-up on the new iPad, at least in terms of marketing: Continue reading...

HTC may have occupied the high and mid-ranged markets of the smartphone world with its newly-released HTC One X, One S and One V, but it certainly isn't leaving the low-end behind. The render above is that of the upcoming HTC Wildfire C. While it does take some design cues from the One Series, it won't be put Continue reading...

Add this one to the pile of surely-not-real Samsung Galaxy S III renders. This photo comes from a site by the name of Tech Snapr. If this is what Samsung is going to feed to the masses, they better have a bloody good marketing campaign, because it's certainly not a looker -- not that this photo does Continue reading...

Well this just seems to have come straight out of no where: Google might be looking into the possibility of selling Motorola's handset division to Chinese company Huawei. The news is coming from a Wall Street Journal article which surely has some kind of strong source to back the claim up. If this goes ahead, we could see Motorola disappear Continue reading...

It has been known for a while now that Google are working on a "Nexus Tablet" to bring lead the way and bring competition to the tablet market, and if The Verge's exclusive report is true, that market is the 7-inch tablet market. It is said that Google have internally pushed back the release date of the tablet to change the Continue reading...

The Samsung Galaxy S III rumour train is still steaming along. This time the rumour relates to the device's display, it's said to be 4.65-inch 1280x720 Super AMOLED Plus. That would be an improvement over the Galaxy Nexus (pictured above) but not that massive 1920x1080 Super AMOLED Plus display that had been rumoured in the past. Continue reading...

It has become somewhat of a routine that every fortnight Google will update the above graph (Platform Versions) with the percentages of how many devices are running each version of Android, and then technology blogs will rush to praise or criticise Google. The last update took place on March 5th, which means the next fortnightly update should have taken Continue reading...
