While it was something suspected by a lot of people, IDC has recently confirmed it – tablet sales worldwide are going sluggishly. Compared to the last year, the tablet sales have barely grown with a minor 3.9%, fact which suggests that the whole tablet market may be reaching a point of stagnation. “The rise of large-screen phones and consumers who ...

There was a series of phones I always found interesting, but I find they never really got the attention they deserved. That series was the BLU series of devices. Now they have recently announced the Life Pure XL smartphone, a phone which is based on the Gionee Elife E7 ( the two being actually virtually identical, which isn’t really a ... Read More »
The Sony Xperia Z2, a really great smartphone ( and, if I’m not mistaken, their latest flagship ) has recently gone on Pre-Order i early April, having a few of those said orders shipped around April 15. The wide handset launch was delayed, though, due to a few stock shortages probably caused by a few sudden bottlenecks. It was later ... Read More »
As is tradition for Google to do each month, they AGAIN released a chart determining the percentage of usage for each Android version. The most significant development, it seems, for April was that KitKat actually gained quite a bit – some 3.2 point – thus bringing its overall market share to 8.5%.

It would seem that it’s impossible for a whole week to pass by without Apple claiming that some company or another is infringing on their patents. With that in mind, ... Read More »
Today I’ll be telling you a thing or two about the Nokia X, or the Nokia Normandy, depending on how you want to look at it ( both names apply, but stores in my area sell it under the Nokia X name, so that’s how I’ll be referring to it ). Off the bat I need to mention that this ... Read More »
The Sony Xperia E1 – one of the newest low-budget phones from Sony. Off-the-bat, I think I should mention that this device is also available with a Dual-SIM – that version being called the Sony Xperia E1 Dual – but from a technical point of view, they have the same features. For that exact reason, I deem it enough to tell you ... Read More »
As you may already know ( if not, here’s a little reminder ), the retailing mega-giant known as Amazon thought it wise to try and get into the smartphone field, based on the wide success of their tablet ( which was intended to be taken as an e-book reader, but it was way more powerful than that and people sort of ...
