Each of us has dreams, which, however, may not be easy to achieve. There are many reasons for that, and one of the most common is the lack of money. We all solve this problem in different ways, and most often we put away our dreams and plans for a long time and return to them very soon. The good news is that today any plans and goals can be realized without problems!  […]

Wearable or wrist-mounted smartphones have always been the stuff of sci-fi, movies, and video games but the people behind the Blu are trying to change that and turn fiction into reality.The Blu is a project on IndieGogo for a flexible wrist-mounted smartwatch. Its main feature is a flexible display and body that can be bent to form a wrist-worn bracelet. According to the designers, it uses a Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode (F-OLED) display which has the ability to roll into a 5.5-inch circumference circle as well as a flexible circuit board and a flexible Flex-ion battery. The display will be protected by Corning Willow Glass which is a flexible version of the company’s Gorilla glass.Conceptually, the Blu will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. It supposedly will also be equipped with a 13-megapixel camera, a nano-SIM port, and an invisible […]

It was only back towards the end of March the LG G2 saw its first update to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. Believe it or not, this was before owners of even newer flagships — like those with the LG G3 — saw the same update hit their devices. Not too shabby for an Android device nearly 2 years old (that’s, like, 60 in smartphone years). We can’t tell you how comforting it is to see OEMs supporting older devices with the current versions of Android and it seems LG still isn’t even done with the G2 quite yet.An employee of LG software development department was reportedly able to confirm to AndroidPit that an update to Android 5.1.1 — the absolute latest version of Android available — is already in the making and will soon be headed to the LG G2. The update is said to bring more than just a bigger […]

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is in the works by Samsung — that news isn’t surprising by now — but we could have our first idea of what the phone will look like once it heads to store shelves. OnLeaks has leaked a render of the device found on his “leaky Foxxconn servers.”It’s a CAD drawing, and its general shape tells us to expect a design similar to the Samsung Galaxy S6. That phone featured curved glass panes on the front and rear, as well as a metal frame sandwiched between. It was the biggest step in design for the Galaxy S6 line yet, and the Note sure could do with much of the same.The dimensions for the CAD drawing come in at 153.447 mm x 77.317 mm for width and height (which seems to be enough body to house a 5.7-inch display), while its depth is billed at 10.201mm, which includes […]

Smartphones nowadays have a large variety of functions through built-in features or installed apps. But have you ever thought of using your smartphone as a hammer? Well, Ulefone shows us, in a released video, that their new Be Touch 2 is durable enough for it.The video released by Ulefone shows a Be Touch 2 being used to not only smash walnuts but also hammer down nails. What’s surprising is that it’s not the Be touch 2’s rear that’s being used to hammer down the walnuts and nails but the device’s screen which is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which may give some of the credit for the device’s durability to Corning. Either way, the Ulefone Be Touch 2 was able to survive the ordeal and come out working fine and, from what can be seen from the video, without so much as a scratch.It should also […]

Xiaomi has just announced that it will be reducing the price tag of its popular Xiaomi Redmi 2 handset from 699 Yuan to 599 Yuan. That’s a 100 Yuan drop from the original price tag, which translates to around $16 reduction. So, now the Redmi 2 can be bought for just $96 which makes it a steal!It looks like the company is really shaking things up to reach its target sales of 100 million units by this year end.

It comes with 64-bit Snapdragon 410 chipset clocked at 1.2GHz with 1GB RAM. There is a 4.7-inch display up front with 720p resolution. The rear camera is of 8MP while the front one is of 2MP.

Microsoft’s Garage development initiative (where they reward Microsoft engineers for creating interesting stuff on their own time) is spawning more interesting Android apps. The latest is Tossup, a new app which helps you gather opinions from your friends.The idea is for you to present your friends with some sort of decision, whether it be where to go for lunch or something as silly as what to wear to work for the day, and have everyone chime in. Tossup has a multitude of polling options such as Yes / No or Date / Time, and there’s even a way to make custom options if the built-in stuff isn’t doing it for you.This isn’t groundbreaking stuff, mind you. It’s nothing a quick text or phone call can’t handle for most situations where only a few people are involved. But if you’re looking to get quick opinions from a big group of people about […]

After the Sprint version of the HTC One M9 began receiving Android 5.1 back on July 1st, now the unlocked Developer Edition is following suit. The HTC One M9 Developer Edition is a special variant that comes with an already unlocked bootloader for flashing custom ROMs are tinkering around with.

We covered some of those here — like the ability to change the color temperature of the M9’s display — along with a few others. According to HTC’s changelog shown during the update prompt, users can expect the following:Android Lollipop 5.1Data performance improvementsCall drop improvementsBattery life enhancementsTemperature management […]
