Huawei makes it official: P8 smartphone 'coming' April 15 to London

Largely expected to bring at least one new high-end Android handheld to MWC 2015 a couple of weeks back, Huawei used the Barcelona event merely to prove its wearable aspirations are growing. Big time!

But now that the aptly named Huawei Watch is out and priced, alongside a fresh low-cost smart band duo, it's time for the Chinese giant to turn its focus back to its prime cash cow. Enter the upper mid-range,…

Worry not, AT&T users, your HTC One M7 and M8 will get Lollipop this month

It was pretty clear from the get-go HTC would face an uphill struggle in delivering on the 90-day promise for One M7/M8 Lollipop updates. A wise OEM (cough, Samsung, cough) would have realized early on it didn't depend squarely on the hardware manufacturer and Google, and that carriers played an essential role in distributing new software.

The self-imposed deadline of course came and went, and HTC barely…

Sony goes on Lollipop updating spree with Android 5.0 for Xperia tablet duo

There aren't a lot of tablets currently running the sizzling hot new iteration of Android, 5.0 Lollipop, and while Samsung seems far more concerned with software updates for Galaxy phones, Sony wants to ensure equal treatment of Xperia-branded gadgets.

As such, the Z3 Tablet Compact and Z2 Tablet follow very closely in the footsteps of the Z3, Z3 Compact and Z2 handhelds, nabbing sweet Lollipops "in the Nordics and Baltics." Of course, that's…

HTC One M9 launch in Taiwan delayed due to software issues

HTC One M9 back

The Taiwanese company confirmed it's working to provide users with the latest Android version on the HTC One M9.

Acer hatches $500 Chromebook 15 edition with Intel Core i5 Broadwell

It looks like one of Acer's surprises for that mysterious April 23 NYC event is out in the open already, providing unexpectedly solid competition for Google's ultra-high-end Chromebook Pixel 2. Not that anyone sane would ever consider spending $1,000 on a rudimentary Chrome OS laptop, but for half that money, a 15-inch Acer Chromebook with Intel Core i5 inside is apparently in the pipeline.

We're talking a full-powered i5…

HTC One M9+ still expected out soon with MediaTek chip, including in EMEA

As HTC's Mobile World Congress showing turned out to be a solo One M9 production, and the familiar-looking Full HD 5 incher needs plenty of resources, time and money to take off, everyone pretty much figured the M9 Plus was postponed.
