Their Windows Phone endeavors may have not been all smooth sailing for Nokia, but the Finnish company finally came up with the smartphone to beat – the Lumia 1020. Combining the best of both worlds – solid smartphone experience and an unrivaled camera, the Lumia 1020 promises to become the hero device that both Nokia and Microsoft so desperately need at this moment. Nokia has been the king... 

In their third generation, the Galaxy Tab series by Samsung are finally coming to terms with playing second fiddle to the Notes. The S-Pen and the processing power are, at this point, the main dividing line between mainstream and premium, but the gap will probably widen. If you’re after latest-generation chipsets and full-HD screens, the Note line of tablets is by far the safer bet. The Galaxy... 

We’ve got something special at HQ today. The perfect Nexus phone has arrived and it looks like a Galaxy S4. This shameless poser embodies everything worth admiring from both worlds – timely updates, the unblemished stock Android experience, the highest-grade hardware money can buy and expandable storage. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition makes the LG-made Google Nexus 4 look like... 

In Samsung’s playbook, a mini version of the top smartphone is typically the first new addition to a flagship’s fleet. Sticking close to a proven formula, the Galaxy S4 mini is a downsized and down-priced edition, but one that certainly wants to live its own life instead of just being the poor man’s S4. The other flavors of the flagship – the Galaxy S4 Active and the Galaxy... 

The HTC One is certainly one of the smartphones of the year and has come a long way towards helping the Taiwanese company out of its financial woes. It was only logical then that HTC will try to capitalize on that success by bringing the same formula to other parts of its portfolio. We already got the upscaled version with the Butterfly S, so now it’s time to shrink the design with the HC One... 

The Nokia Lumia 925 is a subtle but meaningful update of what was – literally until a few days ago – the company’s top smartphone offering. While designers and engineers were busy fixing the Lumia 920, the guys next door produced a louder bang with the Lumia 1020. Still, the Lumia 920 was in many ways the flagship that really showed the company with its best foot forward. And the... 

Having cornered the Android smartphone market, Samsung now has smart cameras in its sights. The Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom is a crossover of an Android phone and a point-and-shoot camera, trying to put the best of both worlds in your pocket. It’s a lot more compact than last year’s Galaxy Camera and this year’s Galaxy NX and, unlike both of them, it has full telephony features. So, it... 

Smartphone makers believe in trickle-down economics. They build their portfolios top to bottom, looking to get as much bang out of the flagship as they can and, after the hype around it has settled, they bring out the more affordable packages to keep the cash rolling in. The big question – always – is how much of the flagship specs will trickle down the ranks. Having delivered the latest... 

Just a couple of days back I shared some first look hands-on picturesof China based handset manufacturer GiONEE’s quad core Android smartphone Dream D1. Though in India there are already many quad core smartphones from Indian handset companies, this one still has its own charm. Gionee is one of the leading handset manufacturers in China. GiONEE Dream D1 came with a small cute box which contains the...
