CyanogenMod 10.1: AT&T Galaxy S4 Nightlies Added; International, Sprint, And T-Mobile HTC One Builds Reshuffled [Update: AT&T HTC One]

Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy S4, HTC, News, One, Samsung, Sprint, T-Mobile

There's a lot happening in the CyanogenMod world this morning. First and most importantly, the AT&T variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 now has official CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2) support, following the T-Mobile and Canadian versions. According to this Google+ post, supporting the AT&T S4 was simply a matter of patching a previous build. One nightly ROM is available at the time of writing, with more stable releases sure to follow soon.

SPH-L600 Passes Through Bluetooth Certification - Likely The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 For Sprint

Posted by in Galaxy Mega 6.3, News, Sprint

The Galaxy Mega 6.3 was announced alongside its smaller sibling, the Mega 5.8, early last month. Given their enormity and relatively middling specifications, we didn't expect to see the monster handsets come stateside. Now, it seems like at least one of them will, and it's the Mega 6.3.

A recent Bluetooth SIG filing for model SPH-L600 - a designation with basically no known history - contains little information of use, other than confirming this is a Samsung handset with LTE bound for Sprint, as can be deduced from the model prefixes.

However, we have good reason to believe (via a reliable source) that the screen size of this device is 6.3 inches, a description that only the Galaxy Mega 6.3 fits.

Evleaks Breaks Down HTC's Upcoming Phablet In Detail - 5.9" Display, Snapdragon 800, Fingerprint Scanner, Stylus

Posted by in HTC, News, Rumors

Grab your grains of salt, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for a little rumor-mongering. The quite-often-reliable @evleaks has once again turned on the taps, and out has flowed an impressive stream of detail about an upcoming HTC phone codenamed 'T6.' The existence of the device, just so you know, has also been corroborated by Pocket-lint in the past.

This device is allegedly HTC's first super-sized smartphone, with a display measuring up at a staggering 5.9 inches. That display will be full HD, and a Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor (MSM8974) clocked at 2.3GHz will provide the power to push the pixels. 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (with microSD slot), a 3300mAh battery, and an Ultrapixel rear camera round out the purported specifications.

HTC One Nexus Experience Clarifications: IR Blaster Disabled, No HTC Camera Features, And No Beats Audio Switch

Posted by in HTC, News, One

We know there have been some specific questions floating around about the HTC One Nexus User Experience since it was announced earlier this morning, and we've been working to get those questions answered. HTC has been kind enough to answer some of the questions we found most pertinent, so here they are.

Will the stock Android camera experience replace the HTC camera app (and thus all the HTC features)?

The HTC One Special Edition contains the stock Android camera experience. It doesn't contain HTC features such as Zoe, etc... It will not be the Sense camera experience, but the camera will still produce comparable high quality pictures.

Posted by in HTC, Jelly Bean 4.2, News, One

As confirmed by Hugo Barra on Google+ and the official HTC blog, a version of the company's One phone with stock Android 4.2.2 software is coming: on June 26th, you'll be able to buy the "Nexus User Experience" HTC One through the (US) Play Store for $599. The phone was actually announced by Sundar Pichai at AllThingsD's D11 conference this morning.

The hardware is essentially the SIM-unlocked 32GB version of the device you can buy on HTC's website, meaning support for LTE on both T-Mobile and AT&T. A 64GB stock version will not be offered. The bootloader, of course, will be fully unlockable, and Google will be handling the device's software updates.

LG Nexus 4 Now Officially On Sale In The Google Play Store In South Korea

Posted by in Google, LG, News, Nexus 4

In South Korea, the market for smartphones is vicious: Samsung leads the pack, as is the case almost everywhere, with fellow Korean company LG behind them in second place. It's strange, then, that the Play Store has not sold LG's own Nexus 4 to the Republic of Korea itself. That changed yesterday, as the Nexus 4 goes on sale in the Play Store in South Korea for the first time... just six and a half months after it launched. Better late than never, I suppose. Previously only the Nexus 7 was available.

The 8GB N4 is on sale for 399,000 won, just about $50 more than the US price tag, with the 16GB model coming in at 459,000 won, a bit over $407 at the current exchange rate.

Samsung Officially Announces The Galaxy S4 Mini In 3G, LTE, And Dual-SIM Versions, No Price Or Date Yet

Posted by in Galaxy S4 Mini, News, Samsung

It looks like we won't have to wait until Samsung's June event for an official reveal of the Galaxy S4 Mini after all. This morning Samsung's press department officially unveiled the smaller, budget brother of the Galaxy S4, though "cousin" might be a more appropriate term; the phone does indeed look like its namesake, but that's about where the similarity ends. Like the Galaxy S III Mini before it, the internal hardware makes this device a horse of a different color.

To start things off, we've got a 4.3-inch AMOLED display with a slightly disappointing qHD (960x540) resolution. The smaller screen gives the S4 mini dimensions of 124.6 x 61.3 x 8.94mm (slightly thicker for the dual-SIM version), roughly the same size as the international GSM version of the good ol' Galaxy S II.

[Deal Alert] Sprint LG Optimus G Drops To $0.01 For New And Renewing Customers On Amazon

Posted by in Carriers, Deals, LG, News, Optimus G, Sprint

If you're in the market and don't need the most cutting edge device, Amazon has a solid deal on the LG Optimus G for Sprint. The price for this handset has fallen to a single penny on a 2-year contract. This deal is open to all interested parties, whether it's for a new line of service or not. The Optimus G was previously only this cheap for new customers.

The LG Optimus G came out last fall, but it has since been overshadowed by the likes of the HTC One and Galaxy S4. But hey, there's still plenty to like in the Optimus G.

Motorola CEO: Moto X Phone Coming By October, Built In Texas, And It's The First In A New Product Line [Update: Possible Summer Release]

Posted by in Motorola, News

The conferences put on by AllThingsD tend to be a bit sedate - Walt Mossberg gets on stage with some Very Important People and picks their brain in front of a live audience. Not so with tonight's interview of Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside and Research & Development head Regina Dugan. At the D11 stage, Woodside let loose with a flurry of information about the company's plans for the remainder of the year, starting with the much-rumored X Phone. Yup, it's real, and according to the interview, the "hero device" will be released by October 2013.

IMGS7659-M

Woodside went on to say that the "Moto X" would be made in a Texas facility currently used to create Nokia phones, presumably through an OEM hardware partner.
