Modder Replace Motorola Razr Battery With A Razr MAXX Battery

If like many Droid RAZR purchasers, got annoyed when Motorola announced the Droid RAZR MAXX at CES (only a few months after the original went on sale) you might want to read up. Many tech blogs noted the startlingly similar hardware specifications and software – the only real change is a body update for accommodating a huge 3300mAh battery. One XDA-Developer member, who wasn’t happy with the original RAZR’s battery life decided to ...

Fujitsu Shows Off Quad-Core Android 4.0 ICS Smartphone With LTE And A 13.1MP Camera

This is probably the most powerful phone shown off at Mobile World Congress, and it comes from a unexpected manufacturer - Fujitsu. They’ve been sensible at releasing the phone with Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, and best of all, it is stock Android! No pesky manufacturer UI to ruin the clean look of ICS. Underneath is a powerful Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core that is powering many flagship devices here at Mobile World ...

Google Releases Ice Cream Sandwich Stencils For App Developers And Designers

As much as I like Android, let’s be honest; Android applications aren’t always the prettiest. It’s the downside of a open-app system with little to no quality controls. UI elements vary from application to application and bar a few (like BaconReader, a reddit app) it’s a cluster of mess. Applications tend to do what they are meant to do, but not in the nicest way. Google aren’t oblivious; they know ...

If you’ve bought a Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 and have yet to root it, here is probably the easiest and therefore safest way to root your Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 tablet. If you don’t know what rooting is, it essentially allows you to use your device exactly as you see it – you can change any file you want on the filesystem, not just ones you are allowed to change.

Sony Reveals Release Details For New Xperia Devices Sony Xperia P, Xperia U And Xperia S

Clove have recently announced that the Sony Xperia P and the Xperia U will be available from the 23rd of April. That’s not all; we also know the prices – a Xperia P will cost £315 (roughly $500) while the cheaper Xperia U will cost £199 ($320). These prices are for the black models but I doubt the price will change if you want another color. One thing that stands ...

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 With AT&T Radios Appears At FCC

Samsung have shown the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 off at the Mobile World Congress and it has now arrived at the FCC. Internally the tablet has similar specifications to the smaller Galaxy Note 5.3 (but it can’t make phone calls). It will have a 1.4GHz dual core processor and will be running Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box (thankfully, I really don’t want to see yet more Gingerbread/Honeycomb phones ...

Eric Schmidt : Expect To See $70 Android Smartphones Next Year

Eric Schmidt did a keynote/presentation at Mobile World Congress recently and was asked about the pricing of Android handsets – it’s a common issue, with ever increasing power, the costs have gone up and up. When he was asked “When will Smartphones be cheaper?” he replied with “next year”. It’s obvious really – look at last years ‘golden handset’. I’d personally say it was the HTC Desire HD – it ...

Lumigon T2 With Bang & Olufsen Audio Announced at MWC 2012

Lumigon (yes, I’ve never heard of them either) has presented a new Android smartphone called Lumigon T2 and it comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It’s not a huge smartphone, and is probably one of the lowest powered device announced at Mobile World Congress (it looks a bit weak against the army of Tegra 3′s).  Lumigon T2 Specs : Gorilla Glass 3.8″ screen (we’re told it’ll have a high resolution, ...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 To Hit Verizon Shelves On March 1st For $499

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 was eagerly anticipated back in August. At CES, Samsung announced they planned to release a LTE version on Verizon and it’s expected to be released on the 1st of March. It was a decent tablet, but the cost was huge; $499 on a Verizon contract and if you want to go independent, $699. The specifications are good, make no mistake – 1.4Ghz dual core processor, 16GB of storage and ...
