Pantech continues a pleasant trend of releasing only a few phones a year while providing some great bang for your buck. The newest phone in their portfolio is called the Pantech Discover, a fairly high end phone on a budget. On the outside, there is a 4.8″ display at 1280×720, a 12.6MP camera on the rear, and “3D surround sound” speakers. Inside, you… Read more
ZTE has been growing larger and larger as a company in the US, and has even ventured into the high end market in other countries. Despite that, the US continues to get its budget oriented devices. For example, their newest phone to go through the FCC is the aging ZTE Grand X. On the back you’ll find T-Mobile branding, where all the most budget-oriented… Read more
Back when HTC announced their One line of phones, we had a lot of hope. We thought HTC would stop releasing a ton of phones at once and focus on only a few. This was shown to us with the new lineup: One X, One S, and One V. High end, mid end, and low end: all demographics are represented (except those who like keyboards, but that time is over).

It also… Read more

The L9 features: 4.5″ qHD display with Gorilla Glass 2 1GHz dual-core processor 1GB… Read more

With the current evolution rate of smartphones, seeing 2GHz dual-core phones come to market by 2012 seems more then feasible. In fact, it almost seems slow. But that’s just a number. What really counts is how the processor fits in with the rest of the hardware; memory, graphics, internal storage, etc. Samsung’s Galaxy S line of devices has always been… Read more
The most recent videos and pictures of the Motorola Droid X2 that have surfaced online have left much to be desired. They’ve been incredibly poor quality, and they leave too much to the imagination.
