We got a little disappointed when Samsung announced that they won't be holding a press conference at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this month. Rumors, however, turned out to be true, and Samsung will indeed hold a separate press event on March 15 in Amsterdam.
The image above represents the invitation Samsung is sending out for the event in question. As usual, the image doesn't…
LG Mobile has suddenly become very obsessed with the letter L – it's all over their Facebook page. What's all this about? LG is clearly about to announce some sort of a mobile device, but beyond that we don't know anything else.
The first clue came about five days ago – it's a nature scene from the Academy Award-wining movie A River Runs Through It, which won one for Best Cinematography. So,…
Panasonic has officially lifted the curtains off the Eluga – an Android smartphone bound to launch in Europe. The Eluga isn't particularly breaking news, as it was unveiled in December last year as a prototype.
The company hasn't unveiled much more new information about the Eluga since the last time we heard about it. At the front it features a 4.3-inch OLED display, pumping out 960×540…
We are really starting to worry that at the rate these leaks are going, Sony won't have much news for us at its MWC press conference on Sunday. The Sony Xperia U, which is one of the smartphones to go official there, leaked once again – this time in an extensive live photo session.
The Sony Xperia U was previously known by its codename Kumquat and by its product code – ST25i. It has much of…
It's no secret Huawei has big plans for its Sunday press conference. The event, which should kickstart the MWC will feature at least one quad-core smartphone device and we get to see its press shots in advance.
The Huawei Ascend D1 Q will obviously have a pretty face to go along with all the muscle under the hood. Judging by those press shots, the Tegra 3-packing Ascend D1 Q won't have the…
Along with the two new ICS handsets announced yesterday, ZTE had another ICS-based smartphone to announce before MWC. This one is called the Mimosa X and will be running on the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. While that itself is nothing special, it will also be the first device to have the Nvidia Icera 450 HSPA+ modem.
If you're wondering what so special about that, so far the phones made with…

The Optimus L3, L5 and L7
The three Optimus L smartphones will feature square, thin metallic design with a textured leather-like panel on the back. They will also offer what LG calls "floating mass display" – a display closer to the…
As promised yesterday, Panasonic unveiled the specifications of their Android smartphone dubbed the Eluga, expected to debut on the European market this March.
The poorly named Eluga is powered by a dual-core 1GHz TI OMAP 4430 processor and 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, which we have come to expect from high-end droids these days. At the front we find a 4.3-inch OLED display with…
A fresh batch of benchmarks of Qualcomm's S4 platform show just how powerful the new Krait cores are. The tests were run on a reference platform, but since we don't care about the rest of the hardware (screen, camera, etc.), just the chipset performance, these result are a good indication of what to expect.
Qualcomm S4 uses Krait cores, two running at 1.5GHz in the case of the MSM8960 that was…
