by Anton D. Nagy | June 16, 2013 11:01 AMIn today's Nokia Lumia 925 vs HTC One video we're taking a close look at the two flagships, side by side. They are very similar from several perspectives: they're both made out of aluminum, polycarbonate, and glass, and they both have fancy camera names: PureView and Ultrapixel. Of course, the similarities stop there. Since one is running Windows Phone and the other one is powered by Android, the specs couldn't be any different. That's not to say that the inferior, on paper, Lumia 925, delivers less. However, each has is pros and cons when compared to the other. So check out our Nokia ...

by Anton D. Nagy | June 15, 2013 10:53 AMThe Nokia Lumia 925 vs Samsung Galaxy S 4 question might have a more difficult answer than you'd think. Let's take the Nokia phone. It is, undoubtedly, the best Windows Phone money can buy at the moment. For how long? Most probably until Nokia's next Windows Phone, the rumored EOS, becomes available. It also happens to be among the best camera-phones on the market. The Samsung Galaxy S 4 needs no introduction. It is among the best three Android devices you can get today (depending on who you ask). It also happens to have one of the best cameras on a phone today. So it is just normal we did ...

by Anton D. Nagy | June 14, 2013 2:03 PMTopic Pocketnow Live kicked off twenty Fridays ago. We can't even believe it ourselves that we're at the twentieth installment of a show that is highly popular not only among our viewers, readers, audience in general, but also among members of the team. Episode 20 is also the Season Finale. We're wrapping up Season One with the team that kicked it off. Worry not, we're not only planning on Season Two, but thinking way ahead. So, before we take a break from the Live, let's have a great casual conversation one more time. Plenty of things going on, from the Galaxy Mega and HP TouchPad Go ...

by Anton D. Nagy | June 14, 2013 8:55 AMTake a look at our Nokia Lumia 925 unboxing! We've got Nokia's latest and greatest Lumia phone, the 925, in our offices, after we got some hands-on time with it at the launch event in London. The phone is made out of aluminum, at least the sides, top and bottom. The back is covered with a very soft-touch polycarbonate plastic and the front has a very good looking slab of glass that protects the screen underneath. As far as specs are concerned, you have a a 4.5-inch AMOLED screen with WXGA (1280×768) resolution and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. The phone has 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal ...

by Anton D. Nagy | June 14, 2013 4:17 AMThe Nokia EOS will hopefully become official on July 11, or at least we're hoping that's what the event in New York will be all about. After all the leaks we've seen, we're starting to believe that the phone allegedly depicted is real. Today, new images are trying to anticipate Nokia's next Windows Phone. In contrast with previous leaks that showed off a polycarbonate casing for the Nokia EOS, today's pictures are reportedly hinting at an upcoming Nokia EOS aluminum phone. Whether this was just a prototype or it will be the final material that Nokia will choose for the EOS is yet unknown. ...

by Anton D. Nagy | June 14, 2013 4:02 AMThere's an HTC One sale going on today at Amazon. It lasts only for one day so if you always wanted to get an HTC One, now is your time to grab a unit on the cheap. They've got both AT&T and Sprint versions, black and silver color flavors (though the black Sprint version will be in stock on June 18). Phones will set you back $79.99 with a two-year contract (or $99.99 if you are upgrading). In case you need a reminder of the specs, before you take advantage of the HTC One sale, the phone packs a 4.7-inch screen with 1080p resolution. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU ...

by Anton D. Nagy | June 13, 2013 4:59 AMIt took Apple quite some time to make an iPhone with a larger screen. Now some even larger iPhone rumors are popping up on the interwebs and Reuters is citing some sources who are allegedly familiar with matters. Let's break the rumors down into categories. As far as size is concerned, the larger iPhone rumors are talking about the possibility of 4.7-inch, even 5.7-inch screens. They refer to next year, 2014, and the report hints "at least two" larger Apple phones. "They constantly change product specifications almost to the final moment, so you're not really sure whether this is the ...

by Anton D. Nagy | June 13, 2013 4:49 AMThe Nokia EOS leaks continue after we've reportedly looked at several aspects of the phone in the past weeks. Today's image claims to depict the upcoming Nokia EOS and we're looking at the phone next to the Lumia 920. In case you couldn't figure it out -- we won't blame you, they're almost identical -- you can spot the Nokia EOS on the right and recognize it from the clock in standby mode, as a Nokia Glance feature. Aside from that, you can also see that it does not lay flat on its back, because of the camera hump. The Nokia EOS is expected sometime next month. It should bring the Nokia ...

by Anton D. Nagy | June 12, 2013 6:00 AMWe can finally put all the rumors to rest as the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is now official. It joins a slew of other recently announced devices, which we'll meet in person in London, at the June 20 event. Meet the Frankenstein device, where a phone meets a camera. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom packs a 4.3-inch sAMOLED screen with qHD resolution (960 x 540), 1.5GHz Dual-Core Processor (different, depending on the market), a 16-megapixel main camera on the back with x10 Optical Zoom (24-240mm, F3.1-F6.3), 1.9-Megapixel webcam camera, 1.5GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage (expandable via ...

by Anton D. Nagy | June 12, 2013 1:21 AMCheap Android tablets are expected at a price point as low as $99. A recent report speculates that such budget slates might land towards the third quarter of the year. The claim is based on the fact that manufacturers are now apparently competing in the price department. ASUS recently announced its MeMo Pad HD 7 slate which goes for as low as $129 (for the 8GB storage version). The report claims that such move might force other OEMs to lower the price of future Android tablets. $99 is expected to be the target threshold. With first-tier brand vendors fighting to lower the price, ...

by Anton D. Nagy | June 12, 2013 12:22 AMSymbian phones will be no longer shipped by Nokia starting this summer, according to a recent report. The Nokia 808 PureView was the last new Symbian-phone manufactured, running the platform which was renamed to Nokia (Belle). Ever since the 808, the company has been shipping Symbian phones to markets where the platform was still relevant. However, it quickly lost market share and is now on the edge of extinction. With this final stab, the platform and its phones will be completely abandoned. Nokia is now focusing entirely on Windows Phone for its smartphones. Its success will depend on ...
