Over the last few days, you may have noticed a number of new pics and video surfacing of the white edition of the Nexus 4. We've brought you coverage of these kind of spottings in the past, but no matter how many times they pop up, they never seem to lead anywhere. Is this latest volley a sign that the phone's actually about to drop? At least one rumor claims that's what's going on, and that the white Nexus 4 could introduce the Android 4.3 that was a no-show at Google I/O. According to unnamed sources, Android and Me reports that Google intends to start selling the white Nexus 4 through ...

Last week an image of an unknown LG smartphone surfaced, apparently an Android model under development. There wasn't much to see other than a sleek design and thin bezel, leaving us wondering if it might just be the Optimus G II, if not a new Nexus model. Today, we get another glimpse at the handset as we continue to wonder about how it will arrive. With the screen turned off, it's harder to appreciate the thin bezel on this mystery LG Android this time around, but at least we get to check out the phone from a slightly different angel. The one big development that's occurred since we had ...

At Pocketnow, we have a responsibility to try the new, the fresh, and the weird - and that latter swamp is exactly the one Managing Editor Anton D. Nagy waded into with his recent review of the ASUS Fonepad - the tablet with an earpiece. Or the phone with a tablet screen. Whatever you want to call it, we've covered it - and Tony has some thoughts about using a seven-inch smartphone in this edition of one of your favorite tech podcasts. After we clear the giant-phone convo, we've got more to say. Lots more. And, doubtless to the relief of thousands, very little of it involves Samsung's ...

LG sure has been keeping us busy with its smartphone events lately. It kicked-off the month with its Optimus G Pro launch for AT&T, and today we learn that it has another event scheduled to take place before the month's out, capping things off with a May 30 gathering in Macau, China; what could we hope to see? Well, as you'll notice on the invitation above, it's clear that we're dealing with something from the Optimus G family. Of course, that still leaves plenty of options, so what might be the most likely? That Sprint-bound model from yesterday is likely out of the running, because ...

If recent rumors hold true, Google and LG could be working together on the next Nexus smartphone, possibly dubbed the Nexus 5. Before we dig into that rumor and what it could mean, let's look at some history. Google first partnered with HTC to build their "Nexus" line of smartphones. I put "Nexus" in quotation marks because I consider the T-Mobile G1 (aka the HTC Dream) to be a "Nexus" phone. It was the first commercially available Android-powered smartphone and it ran the "pure" Android experience. That sounds like a Nexus to me. Up next was another HTC phone, this time the Nexus One. ...

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 ...

There's no denying that LG hit a home run with their Optimus G. We really didn't see that phone coming, and we were quite pleased with our experience reviewing it. At first we though that the Optimus G Pro was a continuation to LG's efforts in having additional presence in the Android market, but it seems that they're not done yet as we've now discovered that there is an LG Optimus G2 in the works. The LG Optimus G2 is now appearing in AnTuTu Benchmarks, which we're very fond of, but if just one source isn't credible enough for you, we've also discovered it getting its Bluetooth ...
