Despite how far technology has advanced and all the new devices that have come to be in the past century, we're still using virtually the same exact method to input text – the QWERTY, Dvorak, or some similar key layout. Who's to say those are the most efficient layouts for entering text via mobile? Why would a key layout made specifically for a typewriter also be the ...

Even if we all decided to use our smartphones to just make phone calls, there's no denying that they still heat-up. Whether it's the display illumination or the fact that the game you're playing is taking a hard toll on the processor, but it's nearly inevitable with today's technology for you to avoid that. You'd think that a solution to the problem should be for new ...

Google had no new mobile hardware to show off at Google I/O this year, and while that left most of the tech world feeling pretty despondent, we didn't walk away empty handed. Google announced its new music streaming service that integrates seamlessly with its digital content store, Play Music All Access. The minute it became available, many of us here at Pocketnow ...

Back in April, news of an upcoming Android from an unusual OEM caught our eye, with a leak showing a ruggedized handset with a hardware QWERTY keyboard from NEC. The so-called NEC Terrain was apparently warming up for a launch with AT&T, and while we were at a loss for any specific details on the phone's hardware (besides what we could pick up from the pictures), ...

We may have doubts when it comes to the legitimacy of the recent set of pictures attempting to depict a metal-framed Nokia EOS, but the lion's share of leaked EOS imagery, that showing a more typical polycarbonate construction, has been seeming very much real. As we count the days until Nokia's July 11 event, when we're hoping to finally see this smartphone announced, ...

Samsung is great at many things: pushing boundaries, providing a portfolio of mobile devices in practically every size imaginable, and applying the same design language across the entire portfolio.
