We received the HTC One on Saturday morning and it hasn’t left our sight yet. We’ve already delivered posts covering the device, including a comparison gallery, a camera demo, a Sense 5 demo and, of course, our unboxing. Plenty of additional clips are on the way…

With the HTC One, the company has introduced a more refined UI with Sense 5 built atop Android 4.1. The initial aesthetic of BlinkFeed, which is essentially Flipboard on your home screen, is the biggest noticeable difference, but it certainly doesn’t end there. There are…

A phone running a mobile operating system by Mozilla? No, you’re not dreaming and the company’s efforts are finally coming to fruition. We had a chance to meet with Alcatel to check out an entry-level device that will launch in emerging markets, but it gave…

For every iPhone or iPad out there, there’s a thousand different cases. I’ve seen the madness first hand—it’s overwhelming. You could probably cycle through a new iPhone case everyday for an entire year and still not see a quarter of what’s out there. And yet,…

We rushed home from BlackBerry’s event today with a fresh BlackBerry Z10 review unit in hand and quickly unboxed it. Now, bear with me here, Jon is out traveling so I unboxed it in my apartment and will send him the unit for his full…

We swung by the Kavaj booth during CES 2013 and had a chance to meet with a company we hadn’t heard of that makes iPhone and iPad accessories. The company left us with a review sample of its leather iPhone 5 case, and I’ve been…

Pantech’s journey has been very interesting. Once known as a feature phone manufacturer, the firm has branched out to accommodate the growing demand for smartphones – but it’s staying true to to its roots with a smartphone that bridges the gap between first-time users and…

3D televisions have been around for a while now, but both passive and active glasses are a pain to deal with. A couple of companies have tried to work on glasses free solutions, but Dolby may have hit on the true winning combination with its…

Aaron hits the floor at Pepcom’s Digital Experience to bring you details on the recently announced Ubuntu platform for smartphones. While it’s a plus to have additional options in the smartphone marketplace, we have to wonder if there is enough room to support another mobile…

TechnoBuffalo is live from CES 2013 and we got a chance to see the new LG televisions for 2013, and if this is the future of TVs, sign us up! Sure the OLED set may cost $12,000 when it’s released, but it’s worth it, right?…

I’m fascinated with maps. I love maps. If I see a paper map around, I never hesitate to look at it, even if it’s of a city in the U.S. I’ve never heard of, or streets I’ll never visit. On my iPhone, I use maps…

The 2013 Mazda CX-5 has been completely reimagined from the ground up, with a body style unlike any Mazda before it. At a starting price of under $20k, the CX-5 comes with a lot of great technology, including a 5.8-inch resistive touchscreen, backup camera, lane…

We’ve already given you our final impressions of HTC’s Windows Phone 8X. But I was so excited to use the device myself that I decided to make a short video talking about what I thought of the flagship WP8 handset. I’ve been anxious to use…

I’ll be honest, when Apple’s iPad mini first showed up at the TechnoBuffalo offices, I found it difficult to muster up any sort of excitement for the device. An iPad that was merely smaller, and had sub-par specs to boot, left me feeling pretty indifferent…

We recently received the brand new AT&T Nokia Lumia 920, Nokia’s flagship Windows Phone 8 device. And boy, oh boy is it a beauty. We received the cherry red review unit, along with the wireless charger accessory, and we’re now more excited than ever for…

We just swung by Best Buy in New York City and picked up the iPad mini to put it through its paces. The store was already out of the 16GB model, so we picked up a 32GB iPad mini in black and just had a…

Barnes & Noble’s Nook HD will be available for purchase soon, on Nov. 2. I’ve been playing with the device for the past several days and already have a few thoughts on the company’s tablet eReader hybrid. There are plenty of pros and cons to…

The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is a pretty phenomenal machine, a model of engineering splendor. But the premium price is way out of range for even some prosumers, and the size isn’t ideal for frequent road warriors. Apple answered those concerns early this…

On paper, Samsung’s new Note II promises to be the perfect combo of excellent internal guts and buttery smooth software. We loved the first iteration, and thoroughly enjoyed our brief hands-on with the device in August. After spending a few hours running the handset through…

In this industry, first impressions are mightily important. Upon seeing a device during an announcement, every aspect comes into play. How the handset looks, feels and what it’s packing on the inside sort of gives us a meta-experience before we’ve even laid hands on it.…

It has been a couple of days since Apple unveiled the iPhone 5, which has been plenty of time for the news to sink in. So we gave the announcements some thought and formed some early impressions, at least of the primary details known so…

The iPhone 5 has arrived, and the company is claiming the device is “the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone.” Huh? That awful slogan aside, the oft-leaked and rumored device is finally here: 4-inch screen, LTE, new dock connector and slim build. This…

Competition in the desktop browser space is fierce. But the big new frontier is in mobile. Android users have a glut of big-name options to choose from — Dolphin Browser HD, Chrome, Opera Mobile (and Mini) — the most recent of which is Firefox. Mozilla’s…
