Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 4G LTE on Verizon Hands-on and unboxing

, Jul 29th 2011 Discuss [5]

With WiFi tablets generally proving more affordable and more popular than their cellularly-equipped brethren, Samsung probably made the right decision launching the WiFi-only Galaxy Tab 10.1 first. Still, we’ve had a taste of Verizon’s LTE network on Android smartphones, and that left us with a taste for more. Just in time, then, comes the new Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1: a super-slimline 4G LTE slate with a sugary Honeycomb center.

Toshiba Thrive Review

, Jul 23rd 2011 Discuss [70]

The Toshiba Thrive isn’t a sexy tablet. It’s plump, homely, a little bit awkward, and although smart and supportive, you won’t be showing it off much to your buddies. But if you’re reading this review, you probably already know that. You’re considering the Toshiba Thrive because you see past a pretty exterior and a tight slender body. You want great specs inside, a good clean install of Android 3.1 Honeycomb, ample full-sized ports, and a swappable battery among other unique features.

Motorola PHOTON 4G Release Info : Coming for EVO’s Head

, Jul 13th 2011 Discuss [16]

There's another dual-core device coming, and it's coming from Motorola. One of only a couple of WiMAX 4G compatible dual-cores and certainly the only one with a kick-stand, this device is the newest generation of dual-core Motorola Androids that started with the ATRIX 4G, currently still residing on AT&T exclusively. But I'm sure you knew that, right, they look just the same, right? I say thee nay! Here comes the diamonds, instead! Read The Full Story

Report of Verizon Releasing Galaxy S II in July is Just a Rumor

, Jun 8th 2011 Discuss [3]

Reports that Verizon will be launching Samsung’s Galaxy S II next month are not correct. Apparently Verizon was originally quoted as saying the Galaxy S II will be released in July, when they later clarified their statement saying they actually meant the Samsung Galaxy Tab would appear in July. The carrier will still probably release the Galaxy S II, just at a later date. We have been looking forward to the US release ever since we got our hand on the European version back in April. We will just have to wait a little longer. Read The Full Story

Dell Streak Pro Honeycomb slate dropping June with Tegra 2 T20?

, May 18th 2011 Discuss [2]

The Dell Streak Pro 10-inch Android tablet is apparently set to launch in June, and will run Android 3.x Honeycomb on NVIDIA's 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 T20, not the faster, 3D-capable T25. The 261 x 176.4 x 12.9 mm, 720g slate is expected to have a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 like other Honeycomb tablets we've seen and, according to Tweakers' sources, will be offered with various accessories including a "productivity dock" and a folding cover with an integrated keyboard.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review (Limited Edition)

, May 17th 2011 Discuss [68]

Samsung helped lead the Android tablet charge last year, with the original Galaxy Tab, a 7-inch slate which even Google admitted may have been released before the OS was ready. Now, with Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets like the XOOM, G-Slate and Eee Pad Transformer on the market, Samsung is back with its second attempt, the larger Galaxy Tab 10.1. Heavily reworked – even after its first official appearance – in order to better compete with the iPad 2, Samsung has high hopes that this is the slender slate to knock Apple off its pedestal. SlashGear brought back the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Limited Edition white version from Google I/O 2011 this week; check out the full review after the cut.

, Apr 16th 2011 Discuss [12]

The T-Mobile G2x may be brand new on virtual shelves yesterday, but we’re not exactly unfamiliar with the Android smartphone.

The T-Mobile G2x variant has landed on the SlashGear test bench: read on for our first-impressions.
