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….
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…
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.
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.
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…
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…
Google's Nexus devices are already getting the taste of Android 5.1 Lollipop, and the next devices in line appear to be the Google Play Edition devices. Several reports surfacing all over the internet suggest that Android 5.1 Lollipop is being seeded to HTC One M8 Google Play Edition. The update…
