Samsung to Unveil Upgraded Galaxy S II at IFA

By Cory Gunther
on 26 Aug, 2011

We are hearing a few different things here as of late and now new reports are stating that Samsung is all set to unveil a new and upgraded Samsung Galaxy S II device, or maybe the Galaxy S II Plus. I can't see this happening when the U.S. still hasn't even received the SGSII to begin with but we are hearing an upgraded model rocking 4G LTE and more will be announced.

Sony Ericsson Nozomi Flagship Phone may see worldwide launch

The Sony Ericsson team is still alive and kicking and now some new details are claiming we might see the SE Nozomi (aka LT26i/LT26a) handset launch soon. What is even better is this new HD powerhouse smartphone may see a global release according to some leaked information. The SE Nozomi first leaked back a few weeks ago and even though it probably wont have a dual-core processor the rest of the hardware specs sure look impressive.

LG Enlighten Sale Image Appears for This Weekend

By Chris Burns

You're going to be able to be picking up LG's latest effort for less than a dollar right out of the gate if you happen to be heading to Wal-Mart this weekend - LG Enlighten being the name of the game, a 97 cent pricetag being the cost. What we're looking at here is a mid-range Android slider with a full QWERTY keyboard and what MIGHT be Android 2.3 Gingerbread. That or you'll just be working with FroYo - either way this device isn't going to be busting apart the oncoming dual-core competition any time soon, so it's not truly necessary for the world's most advanced version of Android to be on this relatively small 3.2-inch display having smartphone.

Samsung Nexus Prime Confirmed Twice Today

By Chris Burns
on 26 Aug, 2011

Every once in a while there's a day when a device you've been waiting for for what seems like an eternity (since the last Nexus device came out, even,) where you get a dash of sand in the face. Today is that day, and it's happening twice. It's as if Samsung is saying - look, not only do we have this ultimately awesome device coming out, we're going to confirm that fact two times today, both times in completely separate manners and both times without so much as a peep as to what this device's specifications are really going to be. Harsh!

In other exciting news this Friday morning we have more of that illusive and hard to find DROID Bionic.

We saw it on a blurry video a few days ago, but today its clear and gives us a pretty lengthy rundown of the device and software.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 to get LTE love

We mentioned earlier this week that the LTE update for the Motorola Xoom was hitting test groups. Samsung is also announcing LTE news of its own. Apparently, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 will also be getting an LTE version. Perhaps more interesting for those of us not in an LTE coverage area, the LTE version of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 is also getting a spec bump compared to the original.

Motorola Xoom 4G LTE upgrade finally starting for test group?

By Cory Gunther
on 25 Aug, 2011

All you Motorola Xoom 3G owners may have some exciting news hitting your inbox in the next few days. I wont call it 4G because it still isn't a 4G device, not to mention that the saying "first 4G LTE tablet" is no longer something Motorola can claim since the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE took that crown. New reports are suggesting the Verizon and Motorola 4G LTE hardware upgrade is now ready to start for the Xoom.

HTC Thunderbolt only $0.01 cent at Amazon [Deal]

By Cory Gunther
on 25 Aug, 2011

Just like the old days when I went down to the penny store and bought candy today the Thunderbolt can be yours for the low low price of 1 penny. Although you do have to sign away your contractual rights for 2 years but that is to be expected. Basically sign a new 2-year contract over a Amazon.com and you can have the amazingly fast Thunderbolt with Verizon 4G LTE for only $0.01 cent.

Motorola DROID Bionic Battery Life Photos Leak, Looks Decent

By Cory Gunther
on 25 Aug, 2011

Since we still have not seen the actual size of the battery that will come in the Droid Bionic, or how long it will actually last this will do. Someone has been nice enough to leak more than a few photos showing the Bionic on both 4G LTE and 3G at different levels of battery life. While these first pictures look good, they are a little deceiving to say the least.
