We’ve just received details from a trusted source about at least one piece of hardware that Google is going to unveil during its Google I/O conference, which kicks off in San Francisco on June 27th. Rumors have long been swirling that Asus and Google have teamed up to produce Google’s first Nexus tablet, which will allegedly offer

There has been talk of Google possibly releasing five Nexus devices made by multiple manufacturers, instead of just one manufacturer as it did with the G1, Nexus, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. The story was originally reported by The Wall Street Journal earlier this month and now we have a possible launch date. TalkAndroid cited a “reliable source” who is

Nine long months after the purchase was announced, Google’s acquisition of Motorola has finally been approved by regulators in China, who reportedly gave the OK on Saturday. Both the U.S. and European Union cleared the deal, which cost Google $12.5 billion, all the way back in February; everything is apparently looking set to close next

Samsung is allegedly on deck to build Google’s next Nexus smartphone. The company was hired to build Google’s latest Galaxy Nexus device, which was the first to hit the market running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but it seemed apparent that Google might tap Motorola this time around since it’s currently in the process of

Several reports have suggested that Google is planning on selling its own Google-branded Nexus tablet at some point later this year. The Wall Street Journal claims the device will be built by Asus, a Taiwan-based manufacturer that already has several solid tablets under its belt, including the Transformer Prime. Now it appears we might have

Google’s Nexus tablet, highly rumored to be manufactured by Asus, is a “done deal,” according to a U.S.-based supply chain source speaking to Android and Me. The tablet will reportedly cost between $149 and $199 but, due to the lower price, will not feature NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 quad-core processor. It still remains unclear what kind

Google began rolling out Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in December of last year to the Nexus S before it stopped the update altogether. There are plenty of builds available from sites such as xda developers for the overeager, but now Engadget says an official update is, yet again, on its way. Reportedly, Google will begin to

A new report surfaced Friday that again suggests Google and Asus are working on a co-branded tablet, likely the Nexus tablet we’ve heard so much about, and the device could be available on store shelves as soon as this May. According to DigiTimes, both companies are aiming to price the device in the Kindle Fire’s

It seems that LG wants in on the excitement that accompanies the release of a Nexus device and is in talks with Google to do just that. Speaking with CNET in an interview conducted at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today, Ramchan Woo, head of LG’s smartphone division, made no bones about the company’s interest in

If you’ve had your eye on the Galaxy Nexus, but held out because of the device’s color, this news is for you. Shots have appeared on Italy-based AndroidHD Blog, showing off the Nexus‘ fancy new white coat, and it looks pretty awesome. There are no other visual differences over the “titanium silver” offering (other than

Enjoying your Galaxy Nexus? When we think of standards in next-gen mobile technology, Google’s flagship device is always one that comes to mind. The screen is absolutely stunning, Android 4.0 is a joy to use and the device overall is blazing fast. Add in Verizon‘s LTE network for the U.S. version, and it doesn’t get

Given a choice, most enthusiasts would prefer a stock build of Android on their smartphone, and the preference towards an unmolested UI is part of the reason people root. But not everyone has the know-how or courage to root, even though smartphones sporting custom UIs far outnumber ones with a stock build. The reason, according

Google’s Eric Schmidt told an Italian newspaper that we will see a Nexus tablet in the next 6 months. Schmidt indicated to the paper “In the next six months we plan to market a tablet of the highest quality,” although he didn’t offer very many more details on what that would entail. During the interview

When we got our hands-on the HTC Rezound earlier this month, we came away thoroughly impressed. It’s packed with a quick 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, Verizon’s 4G LTE and an absolutely stunning 4.3-inch 720p display that gives the Retina variety on the iPhone a run for its money. Two weeks on, and we’re happy to report

As I watched the Samsung Unpacked announcement, I couldn’t help but gawk at the Galaxy Nexus. It’s a beautiful phone. It’s exactly what we were expecting and hoping to see: a 720p screen at 4.65-inch with a beautifully curved body. But the real star of the show was the software that it was running. Android

Feeling a little left out with your Nexus S after last night’s Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich announcement? You may not be for long. Google’s Gabe Cohen told Engadget that the Galaxy S would be seeing an ICS update, and in fact, ICS should work “on any 2.3 device.” No official timetable has been

Samsung teased us this morning with an all new curved potential Nexus device; that teaser has been updated, now with a sly jab at Apple. At first glance the video is seemingly the same, but eagle eyed viewers will note a few changes. First there is a bride/groom snippet added to their better combination angle, but

With rumors circulating that Samsung will unveil the Nexus Prime next week, it only stands to reason that some images would start leaking out of the highly anticipated phone.  What you see above appears to be part of the system info for the upcoming device, and while it doesn’t look that interesting at first glance,

Imagine you order a Samsung Nexus S off of eBay and instead of getting a phone loaded with the Android 2.3 Gingerbread that you were expecting, it had Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on it. Do you a) report the seller for selling an item in an unexpected condition or do b) make a video

There has been a lot of talk of the next major entrant in the Prime series of Android phones would be called the Nexus Prime.  If a new rumor is be believed, it will instead be rebranded to the name of DROID Prime and launch exclusively on Verizon, but there are some definite issues with

Are you an Android fan in the U.S.? Have you been on Google.com today? Then you may have noticed an exciting tidbit on the Google.com main search page: “Nexus S, a pure Google experience. Get it FREE today only.” The link takes you to a page explaining that the Nexus S is free from Best

Nexus fans on America’s leading GSM carrier finally get their due today: Best Buy / Best Buy Mobile have opened pre-orders for the AT&T-compatible version of the Nexus S. Selling for $99.99 (on contract), the device will be available on shelves beginning July 24th. For the uninitiated, the Nexus S is a well-respected handset in

The next iteration of the Google Nexus line appears to be named the Google Nexus 4g, and, if the rumors are true, this is going to be a beast of a phone.  Continuing the trend set by the Nexus One and Nexus S, Google appears to be prepping a killer phone in the Nexus 4G,

Google may be getting a little more serious when it comes to mobile payments. The Wall Street Journal claims that the company has teamed up with MasterCard and Citigroup to bring near field communication (NFC) technology to more Android devices (the technology is currently supported on the Nexus S). NFC technology, would allow you to
