Samsung Galaxy S6 Is “Project Zero,” May Hint to a Total Rehash of the Series

It looks like Samsung has finally decided to rethink its entire Galaxy S family due to the series’ low sales in the last few years. The next Galaxy S smartphone will be entirely different from any other handset in the family, or at least that’s what we and millions of fans hope for. For those out of the loop, Samsung announces a new Galaxy S flagships smartphone in the first quarter and usually puts it on sale in the second quarter. These flagship smartphones are usually unveiled during Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade fair, so we believe Samsung will maintain the tradition and introduce the Galaxy S6 next year in late February or early March. Until Samsung goes official with the Galaxy S6, lots of rumors on the smartphone’s specs...

Photos of First Microsoft-Branded Windows Phone Handset Leaked Online

Microsoft already announced a couple of weeks ago that it would replace the Nokia brand with “Microsoft Lumia” for its Windows Phone handset, but the company didn’t provide too many details regarding the date when the first device wearing its logo could hit the market.

TP-Link TL-WR702N, Ludicrously Tiny 150 Mbps Wireless N Nano Router

Travel routers are a special breed, since they need to be small enough to fit inside even a random pocket while still possessing all the hardware needed to sustain multiple web connections. You're likely to be traveling with someone who has their own phone, laptop, or tablet after all. The new miniature router, or travel router, that TP-Link released sacrifices some of the possible throughput it would otherwise possess the capacity for in favor of being smaller. Still, that's understandable considering just how small the product is. Especially if you're the sort of person who's always on the move because of your job or college classes. So, without further ado, behold the TP-Link TL-WR702N, whose more user-friendly name is TP-Link...

Intel Launches Four Core M Broadwell CPUs for 2-in-1 Devices

Back in September, at IFA 2014 in Berlin, Germany, Intel officially revealed its long-term plans and what it would do to start them out in the short term. In a nutshell, the Broadwell micro-architecture would be the key, starting with the Core M series. Broadwell is a core logic set designed on the 14nm fabrication technology. Intel would often unveil desktop PC models first and follow up with laptop and other special models. This time, however, the company is starting from the other end, having set 2015 as the ETA for desktop/laptop parts but having already launched the low-power ultramobile version. We are, of course, referring to the Intel Core M CPU series. A series that started off with three members but has now grown to seven. Intel...

Nokia Teases Major Announcement for November 17

We reported less than a week ago that Nokia still had some plans in the smartphone business. Even though nothing is certain for the moment, company’s officials hinted to a possible comeback in the next few years. Nokia’s CFO Timo Ihamuotila said during an earnings call following the company’s Q3 2014 financial report that Nokia “carefully assess what would be the best way for us to maximize the value of the Nokia brand.” Unfortunately, Nokia can’t go back to what was doing until recently, meaning that it can’t enter the smartphone business once again, until around 2016. One of the conditions included in the Microsoft buyout of the Devices and Services division was that Nokia will not launch any new smartphones until a few years after...
