Galaxy Nexus Review

, Nov 21st 2011 Discuss [121]

A new Nexus is a big deal in Android land, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has plenty to live up to. As close to an official Googlephone as we ever get, they demonstrate not just how Android’s creators think smartphone development should progress, but set the benchmark by which the platform as a whole is compared to rivals like the iPhone. The Galaxy Nexus brings with it Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and some of Samsung’s finest hardware: do the two add up to the best smartphone on the market today? Read on for the full SlashGear review.

Samsung DoubleTime Review

, Nov 18th 2011 Discuss [8]

Android and Samsung have such an all-encompassing strategy going on as of late that every tier of the smartphone market is saturated with a combination of the two, from the top all the way to the bottom – a good example of how to do the bottom RIGHT is in the device you see here, the Samsung DoubleTime. What we’re going to compare this device to are a few other similarly-stacked devices on AT&T, but you’ll understand before the end of this that AT&T’s selection of Android devices relies so heavily on top-tier smartphones that the Samsung DoubleTime may well have a market to do well in. Imagine that!

Samsung Captivate Glide review

, Nov 17th 2011 Discuss [15]

When it comes to releasing new devices, Samsung and the rest of the manufacturer bunch doesn’t always aim for the top of the ladder – case in point, the Samsung Captivate Glide, a dual-core smartphone with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display and a slide-out keyboard. This device is being released on AT&T’s 4G network (not LTE, mind you, just regular ol’ 4G) and is currently one of the only dual-core smartphones with a keyboard on the market. If we turn away from the keyboard for a moment and focus on the rest of the device, I think you’ll find that while this handset certainly doesn’t seem to be up to the task of beating down the very top of the pack of smartphones out today, it’s certainly a wrestler for the dual-core lovers of you out there in AT&T Land.

HTC Rezound Review

, Nov 14th 2011 Discuss [21]

Verizon isn’t stinting on 4G LTE smartphones, and hot on the heels of the DROID RAZR comes the HTC Rezound. Where Motorola chased slimness, HTC has targeted all-round top-flight features of the sort we’ve not really seen from the company in some time. So, the Rezound packs a 720p HD resolution display, speedy dual-core processor and a slick unibody chassis in its quest to be the best LTE smartphone around. Does it all add up, or has HTC bitten off more than it can chew? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Samsung Focus Flash Review

, Nov 9th 2011 Discuss [11]

The new Samsung Focus Flash may not be the most impressive device we’ve seen lately, but it does offer an overall decent value and comes in at a fair price. Announced back in September and available now the Focus Flash has a lot to offer like its bigger brother in the Focus S, but can it deliver with that small screen and mediocre camera? Find out below and enjoy some photos while you’re at it.

HTC Vivid Review

, Nov 5th 2011 Discuss [18]

This month AT&T have revealed their first two 4G LTE devices, the Samsung Skyrocket and the HTC Vivid, the latter device being the one we’re having a look at here today. This device is the next step in the HTC smartphone design evolution, and as you’ll see in the video portion of the review below, it’s almost as if they asked someone on the 3D mockup crew to cut off all the edges and make something sharp! We’ve already got AT&T 4G LTE speed tests from one of the few areas AT&T has its LTE network deployed (in Texas,) now it’s time to see if the phone stands up to the pressure of the rest of the HTC family (and the rest of the AT&T family as well.)

Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 Review

, Nov 2nd 2011 Discuss [37]

With the absolute barrage of Samsung Android devices having been released this summer, fall, and on into the winter, you’d think that they’d just skip sending out the Galaxy Player 5.0 altogether – it being a device essentially released internationally several months ago. Instead they’re releasing it relatively silently in a way that wont defeat the iPod as many have said it would be aiming to do, but will fill the void where Samsung simply hasn’t had a wi-fi only handheld media player before. Will it sell for what it is, or will it fall at the hands of its own much more impressive smartphone lineup?

Sony Ericsson XPERIA ray Review

, Oct 31st 2011 Discuss [26]

The XPERIA ray is easily the smallest smartphone I’ve ever had the opportunity to lay hands on, and while it may seem at first to be tiny in stature, it packs an oddly enticing set of punches. Head back to our XPERIA ray hands-on and unboxing post to get all the specification details on the device, then come back and get the most important bits: 3.3-inch TFT LCD display a 480 x 854 pixel resolution, a single-core 1GHz processor inside, a VGA video chat camera on the front, and a massively impressive 8.1-megapixel camera on the back. This tiny monster is set to carve out its own piece of the American petite smartphone pie, that’s for certain.

Motorola ATRIX 2 Review

, Oct 31st 2011 Discuss [2]

Back when the world hadn’t yet tasted more than a single core in a smartphone here in the USA, there was the ATRIX 4G, and now that the large part of a year has passed and dual-core processors are the norm, the ATRIX 2 pops up with a few improved specs and a whole new body – is it time to upgrade? We’ve got more than a few questions (and a few answers, too!) about the ATRIX 2 including why it exists and how it’ll stand up against the rest of the very well-suited superphone environment again here in the USA. Did Motorola create another ATRIX just for the fun of it, or is this truly the next-level device ATRIX lovers of the past have been waiting for?
