Samsung Galaxy Ring arrives at Virgin Mobile, delivers Jelly Bean for $180
# 2013-06-18 17:11:00, Engadget
Jelly Bean has been making its way to ever cheaper phones in recent months, and that's very conspicuous with the launch of Virgin Mobile's new Samsung Galaxy Ring. For $180, you're getting Android 4.1 in a price range where 4.0 is still common. You're also getting a surprisingly capable device u...GEAK unveils Eye and Mars smartphones with 13MP cameras, budget prices
# 2013-06-17 15:52:00, Engadget
GEAK may be focusing its attention on wearable tech like the Ring and Watch, but it still has a pair of new offerings for those who like old-fashioned smartphones: meet the 5-inch Eye and 5.8-inch Mars. Both are tailored to photo junkies with 13MP, backside-illuminated rear cameras as well as st...Sprint launches LTE in 22 new cities, unveils plans for 13 more
# 2013-06-17 11:45:00, Engadget
Sprint's LTE cells have been popping up a lot lately, and today they're spreading like the blazes -- the carrier just flicked the (official) switch on its faster network in 22 new cities. The focus is primarily on southern locales like Baton Rouge, Miami, New Orleans and Tampa, although the expa...T-Mobile says MetroPCS' network transition is ahead of schedule
# 2013-06-15 19:04:00, Engadget
T-Mobile is more than a little eager to justify its acquisition of MetroPCS. To its relief, there's early evidence that the money was well spent: it says that MetroPCS' switch to a blend of HSPA+ and LTE is ahead of schedule, and it cites the just-started Bring Your Own Phone program as proof. T...AT&T GoPhone plans to support LTE, drop most data add-ons on June 21st (updated)
# 2013-06-14 10:32:00, Engadget
AT&T hinted that it was shaking up its GoPhone plans later this month, and it's making good on its word. As of June 21st, customers using the prepaid service will have access to the same LTE service as their subscription peers; AT&T will mark the occasion by selling the Samsung Galaxy Express to...Oppo Find 5 smartphone surfaces in all-too-limited red edition
# 2013-06-14 07:29:00, Engadget
Oh my. We thought the Oppo Find 5 was already good-looking in its original white, but it just took on some extra appeal now that there's a stylish red edition on the way. The 1080p smartphone hasn't changed on the inside, although that wasn't likely when the phone is just six months old. We're m...Vodafone Smart Mini delivers cheap-as-chips Android for £50
# 2013-06-13 21:33:00, Engadget
In one sense, many budget smartphones aren't budget enough; they often require some substantial financial discipline for the typical buyer. Not so Vodafone UK's new Smart Mini: at justEngadget Mobile Podcast 182 - 06.12.13
# 2013-06-13 11:15:00, Engadget
While yesterday's HD Podcast was the place to be to get away from Apple news, this week's Mobile episode successfully evens the tides. Beyond all the iOS 7 talk, we try to figure out the difference between a camera phone and phone camera and Myriam goes on a topic-hunting adventure. Guide your p...Casio Commando 4G LTE reportedly spied enroute to Verizon
# 2013-06-11 18:21:00, Engadget
Casio's G'zOne Commando was designed with all the subtlety of a cruise missile, but it must have resonated with at least a few Verizon customers. That would explain why @evleaks has posted an image of the reported follow-up, the Commando 4G LTE. The device spied here would be as conspicuously ru...HTC One coming to C Spire
# 2013-06-11 06:52:00, Engadget
While Samsung has launched the Galaxy S 4 through just about every US carrier under the sun, HTC has largely kept the One to the very largest American networks. That should change soon: C Spire has confirmed that it will carry the aluminum flagship, albeit only at a vague point in the "near future." That's a horrible tease, we know, a...MapQuest arrives for Windows Phone 8
# 2013-06-11 03:21:00, Engadget
Let's be frank: most Windows Phone users already have some form of navigation on hand, whether it's Nokia's Here Drive+ beta or one of the alternatives. However, it rarely hurts to have a free choice like MapQuest's new app for Windows Phone 8. The suite offers voiced, turn-by-turn directions fo...Telus drops its attempt to acquire Mobilicity
# 2013-06-11 02:33:00, Engadget
Telus' bid to acquire Mobilicity was primarily a play for more spectrum, and the Canadian government's obligation to block the related frequency deal largely killed the merger's reason for being. However, the carrier isn't fighting that fatal setback to the bitter end, AT&T-style -- instead, it'...Facebook update for BlackBerry 10 brings photo album controls
# 2013-06-10 12:23:00, Engadget
BlackBerry 10 users haven't had much control over their Facebook photo uploads -- a big problem when they're trying to organize their pictures later on. Thankfully, they can be a little more restrained as of the Facebook 10.2 update. The revision lets socialites both create albums on-device an...Screenshots from eBay-bought Windows Phone hint at notification center, interface tweaks
# 2013-06-08 03:28:00, Engadget
You know how it goes, you buy a phone on eBay, and it comes with a developer / pre-release version of a major mobile OS. Well, if these images are to be believed, that's at least what happened to one bargain-hunting Windows Phone fan. The screenshots -- said to be taken from a Nokia 920 -- show ...Nokia Chat 1.1 beta sends contacts to other Lumias through NFC
# 2013-06-06 19:18:00, Engadget
While chat apps excel at adding contacts from the online world, they don't cope so well with real life -- reciting and typing screen names isn't very elegant. Nokia is bringing back some of those social graces with its Nokia Chat 1.1 beta, which revolves around NFC transfers. If both friends own...Engadget Mobile Podcast 181 - 06.06.13

# 2013-06-02 02:12:00, Engadget
BLU Products: we like your value-packing smartphones, but we have to talk. Your just-shipped Amour is leaning a little too heavily on female stereotypes with its Swarovski zirconia home button, quilted back and luxury-themed take on Android 4.0. We'd rather you focus on the quite respectable bud...LG Optimus F3 for Sprint shows up in deep purple, predicts mild summer
# 2013-06-02 00:43:00, Engadget
We already saw a rendered image of the LG Optimus F3 break cover. Now we can get slightly better look at the entry-level Android offering, in a purple hue that's reportedly heading to Sprint. There's nothing to suggest any advance on the reported 4-inch WVGA display, 2,460mAh battery and Jelly B...LG Optimus F7 for US Cellular leaks through company documents
# 2013-06-01 20:33:00, Engadget
US Cellular isn't just looking to spice up its device roster with the ATIV Odyssey. We've obtained documents that point to LG's upper mid-range Android smartphone, the Optimus F7, also reaching the carrier in the near future. Outside of the unintrusive branding on the back, it's a very straightf...HTC One Android 4.2.2 update adds UI features, sticks with Sense 5.0
# 2013-06-01 13:00:00, Engadget
If you've already got an HTC One, news of a Sense-free version will have been interesting for the presence of Android 4.2.2, as much as anything else. While we can't tell you when your handset will get updated, we can tell you that it'll bring with it some useful additions. A popular one will be...Engadget Mobile Podcast 180 - 05.29.13

# 2013-05-29 10:34:00, Engadget
Alcatel announced today that its One Touch Idol smartphone is now available for the US market, but without a carrier. Weighing in at only 110 grams, the supposed "world's lightest" handset will be sold unlocked for $300 via the company's website. Meant as an entry-level device, the specs betray ...Verizon Galaxy S 4 to support AWS-based LTE through software update
# 2013-05-28 08:36:00, Engadget
While we already knew that Verizon slipped support for AWS-based LTE into its edition of the Galaxy S 4, it didn't say how those extra frequencies would come alive. The carrier's Mike Haberman has just cleared the air(waves): he tells Bloomberg that Samsung's flagship will get a software update ...PC Mobile may carry smartphones on June 5th, heat up Canada's mobile space
# 2013-05-28 00:16:00, Engadget
Telus may be near taking over one of its competitors, but it could soon offer an olive branch to Canadians wanting a choice in budget carriers. MobileSyrup understands that prepaid service PC Mobile (which uses Telus' network) is going postpaid on June 5th, and introducing smartphones at the sam...Verizon launches Droid RAZR HD and RAZR M in blue, sort of
# 2013-05-27 17:12:00, Engadget
Motorola is no stranger to launching phones in bolder hues, and it's not letting up just because Google is at the helm. Case in point: Verizon has started carrying blue versions of the Droid RAZR M and Droid RAZR HD at the same prices (free and $100) as their subdued black and white counterparts...Samsung Galaxy S 4 mini peeks out of official app catalog in UK
# 2013-05-26 12:07:00, Engadget
Not convinced by leaks, pictures or user agent profiles? Maybe Samsung can convince you: the Galaxy S 4 mini is on the way. The phone still hasn't been officially announced, but UK users browsing the company's Content & Services app page can find the device among the catalog's sorting options.

# 2013-05-25 15:57:00, Engadget
While Lenovo is one of the fastest-rising smartphone makers today, many Americans wouldn't know it when the company has never officially sold handsets in the country. They might soon be well acquainted, according to CEO Yang Yuanqing: he wants Lenovo to be selling smartphones in the US within a...Next Browser for Android mashes up its rivals' greatest hits (video)
# 2013-05-24 13:04:00, Engadget
When few (if any) web browsers do everything well, many of us have more than one client just to cover all the bases. The GO Launcher Dev Team's just-launched Next Browser for Android tries to solve this in the simplest way possible: it cherry picks features from established rivals.

Courtesy of the new Chrome 28 beta for Android, they can take that linguistic power on the road: the translation bar now shows up on mobile wh...Samsung web profile shows GT-i8805 sporting Tizen and mid-tier specs
# 2013-05-23 11:57:00, Engadget
Samsung committed to launching Tizen devices almost as soon as 2013 began, but there has been little to show for its promise outside of a developer phone. To our relief, there are signs of sustained interest in the project: Techtastic has spotted a Samsung user agent profile for the Tizen-toting...
