Xiaomi made waves in China (and beyond) for its Apple-like cult following and its tight integration of services in its MIUI-based handsets.

An analyst says that Google will unveil a second-generation Nexus 7 tablet at Google I/O next week sporting superior specs compared to its predecessor, while being equally affordable.

Another 1080p quad-core Android phone, you say? Well, there's a bit more to it. Launched by BBK spin-off Vivo in Beijing just now.

While only one Galaxy Tab 3 has been made official (the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 model), a new report reveals potential Eastern European launch dates for Samsung’s upcoming third-generation Galaxy Tab tablets.

Google Glass etiquette rules seem to become a necessary thing, just like they are for any product that hasn’t been available before on the market (and with serious potential to change things).

Selling 10 million tablets is a lofty ambition. When you’re Acer, it’s especially far fetched. They’ve set a high benchmark for themselves, and made their intentions quite public.

Our initial look at the BlackBerry R10 quickly suggested that the smartphone would be a budget alternative to the Q10, but it wasn't clear just what we'd lose by penny-pinching. If DGtle is on the ball with its newly claimed specs, though, we won't sacrifice as much as we thought.

While Sony intrigued us with the Xperia L's blend of a low-end smartphone with a higher-end camera, it wasn't very specific on just where we could eventually buy one: "worldwide" doesn't help, folks. Courtesy of an FCC filing, there's now a hint that the phone might show up in North America.

Just as the smartphone ate up the PDA’s marketshare, the tablet has quickly stolen a lot of attention from e-readers. In order to continue competing, Amazon and B&N both released their own tablets with locked ecosystems that made them more like glorified e-readers, as opposed to true Android devices.

HTC's financial results released today don't contain much good news -- take a quick look at the unaudited figures we reported last month. But despite its worst ever quarterly profit earlier this year, it's banking on a substantial turnaround over the next few months.

The HTC One design story has been posted online in a video by the company, maybe to show that not only Samsung can provide details on how its flagship device has been developed.

If you saw our report on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 announcement — What? It’s Samsung, of course there’s going to be a third one — then you might have been among the many people who thought to themselves that Samsung really ought to introduce some improvements if they want people to buy a third iteration of what it essentially the same old product.

Earlier this month PlayJam started shipping out GameStick dev kits. At the same time, the company announced early adopters weren’t getting their units until June.

However, these devices are still out of the price range of many people.

In the quest for our perfect unicorn phone, we often forget the average consumer. You know, the one who just wants a nice phone. The person who just wants to make calls, and check email now and again. Those who might have 10 apps downloaded, and have no interest in screen resolution or SoC.

Facebook’s Home user interface for Android devices may just be one of the smartest moves done by the social network in mobile, as the new UI does away with Google’s Search app from regular Android home screens and will feature Facebook’s own ads at some point in the future.
