The HTC Evo is one of the most popular Android handsets to ever exist. It can really be credited with bringing the Android ecosystem to the mainstream market.

Will Sprint Get the Galaxy Note II?

Admin — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 14:04:33 +0000

A couple of weeks ago Samsung announced its GALAXY Note II. By all means, this is a great device with amazing specs and possibilities that won’t lose their usability and power even in a year or two. Frankly speaking, it’s kind of strange to call something a smart-phone that has pretty much the same specs my laptop rocks. If you need a reminder, the Samsung GALAXY Note II will sport a 5.5-inch touch-screen display at 1280 x 720 resolution capacity, a quad-core Exynos 4412 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of native storage and a 32GB capacity microSD, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, an 8MP rear camera, a front-facing camera and, of course, LTE connectivity and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on a board. But now the question is if Sprint is going to add this phablet to its line of Android based devices and if yes, when we should expect it to appear on the store shelves?

HTC Plans to Release Another Tablet

Admin — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 15:48:34 +0000

One of the first tablets in my arsenal was manufactured by HTC. Yes, his name was the HTC EVO View 4G that about a year ago looked like technological miracle. Well, nowadays it is considered to be a budget device with poor specs but I still like it very much. Unlike Samsung, HTC is modest in making Android based tablets and so far has only two soldiers in its arrmy – HTC Flyer (aka HTC EVO View 4G) and HTC Jetstream – a 10-inch Android based fellow. But there is a rumor that HTC is interested in adding another warrior to its tablet line and is still deciding whether it will be a 7″ endeavor, or a good old 10-incher. I do believe that they will try to create something that will be good enough to compete with the Nexus 7. Of course, that won’t be easy but if I am going to see a 7-incher with a quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage and microSD card slot for 200 or 250 dollars from HTC – consider it mine!

Kyocera Rise is another Android based smart-phone that reaches Sprint’s stores. The first one is the Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE with its great and comfortable QWERTY slide-out keyboard. Of course, the Kyocera Rise is not as good as the Photon Q 4G but being offered for free with a 2 year contract or for $259.99 without any obligations makes it look a lot more interesting. You will also find it equipped with a 3.5-inch HVGA (320×480 pixels) touch-screen display, a 1GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, a 3.2-megapixel rear camera and a 1,500mAh battery. By all means, a 1,500mAh battery should keep this fellow running longer than any other devices. For example, the original Galaxy S II battery has 1,650 mAh which makes literary no difference when we speak about Super AMOLED screens and higher resolutions as well as bigger touch-screens. So, if you won’t mind to become a lucky owner of a budget smart-phone equipped with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard – the Kyocera Rise is at your service.
