Samsung Galaxy Core is another Galaxy phone from the company, joining the endless list of similarly named phones, powered by Google's Android operating system (because everybody knew you couldn't start your week off without another Samsung Galaxy phone). Don't get your hopes too high though, the Samsung Galaxy Core is a low-end phone! It features a 1.2 GHz Dual-Core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of Internal Storage, a 4.3-inch WVGA (yes) screen, VGA webcam, five-megapixel main shooter with flash, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and a Samsung Galaxy S 4-like back design (which we think Samsung will ...

This phone might very well be the LG Optimus G2 or Nexus 5. It might also be something completely different but our logic dictates we could speculate towards the Nexus approach. First there was the Google Nexus 4 made by LG and then there was the LG Optimus G. According to recent rumors Google and LG are working, again, on another Nexus phone made by the South Korean company. Now the Nexus 5, whatever it will be, might refer to a five-inch screen or the fifth Nexus phone. Nothing really solid to hold onto here but we know the Nexus 4 will be due for a refresh around October, considering ...

Apple increases lead over Samsung in the U.S., according to the latest numbers from comScore, referring to the quarter ending March 2013. We've recently seen a visualization of Apple and Samsung growth over time but as far as these two main competitors are concerned, in America, the iPhone-maker is still holding its number-one spot. Apple grew from 36.3% last December to 39% at the end of March 2013, as far as the share of total smartphone subscribers is concerned. Samsung has also seen a growth, slight though, from 21% to 21.7%, meaning Apple has managed to distance itself compared to its ...

The Fonepad is a first effort from ASUS, and a decent one at that, though often frowned upon. It's not the only tablet on the market that is equipped with a physical earpiece, but it is part of a select few products from companies that try to address a specific, though not overly popular, need of the market. If you do a lot of on-the-go work on your tablet you surely know the feeling of carrying around another device: a phone. Whether that's for tethering or, most of the time, calls, it really depends on your particular needs. While you can easily overcome the phone-tablet combination ...

When it comes to battery life we’re all n00bs! And you know what? You shouldn’t necessarily have to be a power user just to get a solid day out of your phone. This is what phone manufacturers don’t seem to understand (or they understand it perfectly but are much more interested in selling their products than delivering us, users, what we need). There’s a reason I have officially designated the Samsung Galaxy Note II, and its 11.78Wh (3,100mAh) battery, to be my “official show-covering” phone. Actually, as I think about it, the Pocketnow team’s majority uses Samsung’s ...

Topic Yes, we're bringing our Samsung Galaxy S 4 devices to the hangout and you can ask questions about the phone from the Editor that reviewed it.

Here at Pocketnow we're always striving to not only bring you quality content but to also come up with new and original ideas which we often times, after turning them inside-out and upside-down, transform to a regular feature. Meet Pocketnow VIP, our newest show based off of the popularity and success of Pocketnow Live. Pocketnow VIP will be a monthly show where we'll have the pleasure of being joined by the most outstanding personalities from the industry. We will sit down and have a one-on-one with our guests in the form of a public (but closed) live Hangout, meaning you can watch and ...

Both the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S 4 are now as official and available as they can possibly be. We can all agree to the fact that these two were the most anticipated Android phones (also enjoying unseen levels of buzz and excitement). They're their respective OEMs flagship phones for 2013 and each of the two devices stands out, bringing innovative features to the table which the other one is missing. As far as the HTC One is concerned, it can be the make-it-or-break-it phone for HTC, a company that has seen a declining trend in the recent past. They've placed their biggest bet on ...
