At this point, longtime readers of Pocketnow should be familiar with Jolla. We've taken every opportunity to write about the outfit over the course of the past year, for a few reasons. Part of our interest lies in the company's roots: it was founded by a group of ex-Nokians who decided the all-Windows Phone route wasn't the one for them. We love underdogs and smaller ...

A lily white version of Google's Nexus 4 has been teasing its existence for months now. We've had the chance to look at it from seemingly every angle under the sun, and it's pretty darn attractive. Of course, the big problem is that, now half a year since the Nexus 4's retail launch, this white version has yet to go official. As such, the white Nexus 4 has been tied to ...

The captain is the last one to abandon a sinking ship. HTC's Peter Chou promised that he'd resign as the CEO of the company if the HTC One isn't going to bring the Taiwanese manufacturer above the floating line. However, until then, some important crew members have either left, leaving, or urging fellow HTC-ers to leave. Is HTC sinking? Jason Gordon, HTC's vice ...

What we saw looked great, and the rumored specs suggested that the phone would keep much of the original GS4's abilities, only really taking a small hit when it came to camera ...

Millions of shoppers turn to Consumer Reports for unbiased, in-depth comparisons to help them shop for anything from cars to chainsaws. That includes smartphones, and we've looked at the company's ratings a number of times in the past. CR recently reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S 4, and found itself so enamored with the smartphone that it gave the handset its ranking ...

Fingerprint scanners are one of those weird features that have been around forever, yet have never really found a way to catch on in the mainstream. There are some good reasons for that, as the tech itself is a bit of a paradox: it can feel like a paranoid, high-security burden, while at the same time can be quite trivial for a determined attacker to bypass. We've seen ...

Much of the Galaxy S 4 talk over the past week has been about this Google AOSP edition of the phone, but we're also still waiting for it to hit one more carrier in the US: Verizon. Last week we got word that Verizon would no longer wait until the very end of the month to get things started with the GS4, and instead was pushing-up its plans for the handset. As we get ...
