LG ramps up pre-release G4 promotion with UX 4.0 video demo

Did we or did we not "warn" you LG would further take G4 teasing matters into its own hands and keep revealing pieces of the puzzle as the official launch approached? Well, everything's unraveling just as expected, although some anticipated a CPU make and model announcement on the heels of the Quad HD display exposé.

Sorry to disappoint, but then again, it'd have probably been too much for a pair of…

T-Mobile hastily pulls the plug on Sony's Xperia Z3; will Verizon be next?

The tempo at which mobile device manufacturers upgrade their flagships nowadays makes it impossible for carriers to keep said high-end products around for as much as they did only a few years back. Often, you see new top-shelf Androids pushing their predecessors aside before these can turn one.

Then you have those phones that simply don't sell, forcing service providers to give them the boot despite no replacement entering the picture….

Contradictory reports call for Surface Pro 4 launch in July or October

Surprised to see a non-Pro, third-generation Microsoft Surface debut on the heels of the Pro 3 instead of a much more logical Pro 4? Odds are a new high-end 2-in-1 laptop replacement is also coming by the end of the year, though the team behind the affordable Surface 3 responded to speculation with an ice-cold "no comment" on Reddit.

Remember, the Surface 3 doesn't run the diluted Windows…

Asus MeMo Pad 7 LTE launches exclusively with AT&T on April 10

Excited about the 4 GB RAM-packing Asus Zenfone 2 and curious if any U.S. carriers will offer it with subsidies as a low-cost Samsung Galaxy S6 or HTC One M9 alternative? It's probably safe to expect AT&T will get first dibs, given Ma Bell's increasingly tight relationship with a device manufacturer that all other American operators continue to ignore.

In preparation of the OEM's most enthralling…

AT&T follows T-Mo and Sprint's suit with early Samsung Galaxy S6 shipping

When T-Mobile started delivering Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge units to their rightful, agile future owners before the initially announced D-Day, restless Samsung fans on the nation's leading "Uncarrier" felt mighty proud with their choice.

When Sprint kicked things off with early shipping of its own, the Now Network's…

Say hello to the Xperia C4, Sony's next-gen affordable selfie trooper

It's not going to be easy for Sony to follow up on last year's surprisingly capable, surprisingly inexpensive mid-range Xperia C3. For one thing, the sequel's probable name sends an explosive, high-end vibe that the selfie expert can't possibly sustain.

It's also difficult to vastly improve a 720p 5.5 incher with quad-core power, 1 GB RAM, two flash-endowed cameras and 2,500 mAh…

Huawei tackles low-cost Moto Gs head-on with $180 LTE-capable SnapTo

Essentially every Android smartphone manufacturer dreams of standing up to Apple's high-end dominance. At the same time, anyone that's not Motorola wants to challenge the uncrowned entry-level, budget champion.

An infinitely easier mission than striking iPhone-like box-office gold, yet nowhere near as facile as you'd think. Respectable OEMs such as Samsung, HTC or Sony can't afford to stoop below $200 with Moto G-matching specs, or else they'd be forced to admit the Galaxy S6, One M9 and Xperia Z3 are greatly…

Deal alert: Sony SmartWatch 3 for $170 on eBay ($80 off list)

Remember how excited we got when Verizon dropped the Sony SmartWatch 3 to an all-time low $200 price back in February? Incredibly enough, that deal is still around, and if you don't mind shopping on eBay, the Android Wear timepiece can be had there for even less.
