Verizon green-lights Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Samsung Galaxy S4

Don't bother keeping count of US carrier-locked Android devices brought up to date software-wise since 5.0 source code was dispatched by Google last November. Just go with the flow and be happy Lollipop seems to spread a lot faster than its predecessor.

If only all these Material Designed firmwares would also be as stable and silky smooth as KitKat goodies used to feel…

LG Watch Urbane goes on sale from AT&T and Verizon at $349

Typically, whenever a gadget manufacturer goes on and on and on about the "premium" construction of a new product, they're trying to instill the idea of a challenging assembly process. We already know it's not easy to make a perfectly round smartwatch, and when said circular intelligent timepiece is also entirely built out of metal, the tricky factor doubles.

Bottom…

Business-friendly Dell Venue 10 7000 Android tab now available for $500 and up

Never a name to be reckoned with in the tablet computer décor, Dell learned to branch out in the eleventh hour, at long last going after Android users. We mean really going after them, with extravagant hardware rivaling the productivity of your standard Windows gear.

Of course, most of Google's fans dig the search giant's mobile ecosystem because it favors affordability, and so we wonder whether the Venue 10 7000 Series might be…

Deal alert: Factory unlocked Samsung Galaxy S6 at $630 on eBay

Well, that was fast. We weren't expecting the first half-decent Galaxy S6 promotions for at least a couple more months, given everybody seems to want a piece of the six appeal-brimming handheld. Of course, what we're looking at here isn't technically a Samsung-sanctioned deal.

In fact, the Korean smartphone manufacturer doesn't even directly sell the factory unlocked…

T-Mobile adds LG G Stylo and Leon LTE to growing budget smartphone roster

The "Uncarrier's" mutually beneficial partnership with LG will apparently not bear fruit only as far as the G4 is concerned this spring. A pair of lower-cost Korea-manufactured handhelds are also headed to Magenta, as well as MetroPCS to cater to the needs of folks unable or unwilling to pay the new flagship's premium.

The G Stylo is a vastly improved version of last year's G3…

LG G4 debuts with Snapdragon 808 inside, optional genuine leather back

The mobile industry's worst kept secret since the HTC One M9 formally came out as scheduled during a New York City press event that unfortunately felt redundant and wholly unnecessary. That's what you get when you push the limits of unconventionally transparent pre-release promotion.

What can we say about the LG G4 you don't already know? Essentially, nothing. As thoroughly documented in the announcement lead-up, the 5.5-inch Galaxy S6 challenger is a snazzy aesthetical cross between the previous-gen G3, the recently launched G Flex 2 and… Motorola's Moto X.

They may try to tout the slim-bezeled,…
