LG hosted a "secret" presentation to pre-reveal its next great device, the LG G3. I put secret in quotations because nothing is secret in tech anymore, evidenced by the series of photos from the presentation that have leaked from the event. Read the full story here. ...
In the next few days we’ll see Meizu launching its very first sub-brand – Bigertech. The new site is already live, showing a countdown landing page with few unnamed products, including a Meizu MX3-like smartphone, an iPad-like tablet, a (smart) pen, smart watch and a pair of (smart) glasses. From what we’ve understood, Meizu will use the new brand to launch a whole new line of devices....
LG is reading from Samsung’s playbook, trying to cover every possible price bucket out there. Aside from the flagship G3, the Korean company is also working on another member of its entry-level L-series. As any other device from this family, the soon-to-be-launched LG L35 won’t impress many with its specs sheet. It will, however, help LG expand its market share, reaching first-time smartphone...
Panasonic has officially announced its latest smartphone in India – P81. As we’ve told you before, this is one big device with a massive 5.5-inch screen, which is unfortunately limited to 720p HD (1280 x 720 pixels) resolution. Panasonic’s phablet also sports MediaTek’s octa-core chip clocked at 1.7GHz, HSPA connectivity, 13-megapixel rear and 2-megapixel front cameras, dual...
Although the Xperia Z2 is still not available all around the world, Sony is already working on its successor. The upcoming Xperia Z3 will apparently be very thin, rocking a metal frame and PVD coating to make for a mirror stainless steel look and feel. In addition, this kind of body is more corrosion, impact and scratch resistant. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 805 chip clocked at 2.7GHz will reportedly...
Google has filed for an interesting patent that caught our imagination. The filing number 8,649,821 was granted to Google in February, describing a laptop with built-in and detachable mobile phone. The two are apparently working in tandem to allow users to get mobile data on a bigger screen when needed. We don’t get to learn about the Android – Chrome OS interplay, but that doesn’t...
Ladies and gentlemen, what you can see here is the first press render of the upcoming HTC M8 Ace. As we’ve heard before, this will be a plastic variant of HTC’s flagship phone with “beautiful curves.” Alas, it will have a single rather than a pair of cameras on the back, while the rest of the specs will remain the same. These [specs] include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 801...
Mario Kart is franchise that has been around since the SNES days, and is showing no signs of stopping. A video from the team over at Gamespot shows the evolution of one particular Mario Kart track, Royal Raceway. The track originally appeared on the Nintendo 64 incarnation of Mario Kart, and now graces Wii U screens everywhere in Mario Kart 8. It’s an awesome look at just how far video games...

Google is now the most valuable brand in the world, according to Millward Brown’s 2014 Top BrandZ report. After three years at the top, the mighty Apple has fallen in the ranks, pushed out by the company’s most staunch competitor, Google. While the report does not cite reasons why Google rose to the top, I’d wager that it is due in part to Google’s presence in emerging markets...
Netflix has revealed its plan to expand farther into Europe this year. Though the company did not reveal dates or library options, it did confirm that the following six countries will launch with Netflix streaming later this year: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

Microsoft has just taken the wraps off of the Surface Pro 3, a 12-inch screened tablet that is being touted as a “tablet that can actually replace your PC.” The Surface Pro 3 is powered by a Core i7 processor. The Surface Pro 3 is certainly a burled out device, and kicks those rumors of Microsoft working on a smaller Surface tablet to the curb. While we haven’t gotten the official...
