If it wasn’t going to happen with the HTC One, it certainly had to hit Motorola. That’s what’s happening this week as the infamous @DroidLanding twitter account fires back up for the first time since November of 2011. As the time spread between releases for DROID-branded devices grows long, so does the time before the next grow short: will it be Motorola, HTC, Samsung, or a brand Verizon hasn’t graced with its DROID brand yet?

Here in the spring of 2013, another device has been spotted that's not yet been made official - not here with the most recent wave of USA carrier releases, and not back at Mobile World Congress 2013 where they made their first push apparent.

Huawei Ascend P6 vs iPhone 5: do similarities go just skin deep?

, Jun 18th 2013 Discuss [8]

With the release of the first teaser images of the Huawei Ascend P6, it was instantly apparent that the manufacturer was gunning for the successful hardware build of the iPhone 5. This device had the same metal rim, the same glass up front, and the same metal back – it was – and is – even working with what appears to be the same brushed metal components. But what you’re not seeing on the surface is this: even in an iPhone-dominated landscape, a brand line Huawei can one-up the competition.

, Jun 17th 2013 Discuss [2]

There's a 47-inch television sitting in a factory somewhere in China that's about to be revealed to the mainland, and if it succeeds with its smartphone-connected plan of action, the United States may very well be next on its list of places to visit.

HTC Desire 200 leaks as budget HTC One mini

, Jun 17th 2013 Discuss [1]

The tiniest of HTC smartphones from this HTC One generation appears to have leaked today with the name "HTC Desire 200" attached to it. While this little amalgamation of metal, plastic, and glass might look like a palm-sized HTC One, it's only a shadow of its larger hero cousin.
