Thanks to our friends at Opera, we’re teaming up to give one away to one lucky winner! Opera is one of the leading makers of high performance mobile browsers out in the market today. Whether...
This morning HTC took the wraps off of the HTC One (M8) for Windows, a new smartphone for Verizon that offers much of the same specs as the HTC One (M8) – save for things like a barometer – and it’s quite an impressive piece of hardware. Windows Phone fans already know how excellent the Lumia 1520 is, however, and we figured we’d give you a spec showdown so that you can see how the two...
The holidays are upon us, which means it might be a nice time to surprise a loved one with a new smartphone. You don’t have to splurge too much if you don’t have a new upgrade, either, thanks to some affordable unlocked smartphones that have hit the market recently. If you do have an upgrade on your family plan, though, and you want to pick some of the best new smartphones, we have a...
Nokia is doing everything under the sun to make Windows Phone enticing to consumers. The company is creating its own Windows Phone apps, it's selling colorful smartphones, it's selling phones with cameras unlike any other on the market and now, it's entering the flagship phablet space with the large, bold and beautiful Nokia Lumia 1520. If you've followed Nokia for the past decade or...
Our Lumia 1520 review unit for AT&T recently arrived and I’ve already been using the phone for a couple of days. First things first: it’s huge. The 6-inch display makes it feel more like a tablet than a phablet, but I’m cool with that. The 1080p resolution is fantastic, and the added pixels and screen real-estate enables Microsoft to add an entire new row of icons in Windows Phone 8...
Yesterday Microsoft opened up pre-orders on the Lumia 1520 through its online store, promising to ship the device on Nov. 15, but it looks like Redmond may have acted a bit prematurely. The page disappeared earlier today, and a newly leaked document obtained by Windows Phone Central reveals that Nokia will release the 6-inch phablet on Nov. 22 instead, alongside the Lumia 2520 tablet...

Nokia had so much to cover during its Oct. 22 press event yesterday that the company had to leave a few accessories out, including the DC-50, a sleek new wireless charging plate designed specifically for the Lumia 1520, but with support for other handsets as well. The DC-50 comes in yellow, white, blue or red. It’s a portable charger, and when it runs out of power you can plug it in...
Nokia has a big mobile announcement—possibly its last ever—coming up on Oct. 22 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Today, the company announced it will stream the event on smartphones, tablets and computers live from Abu Dhabi, UAE, where Nokia World is set to take place. According to recent reports, Nokia will unveil six new devices at the event, and although we have a few ideas of what to expect,...
Nokia makes some of the best smartphone cameras around, but its latest Windows Phone devices currently come with two different photo-taking apps, Smart Cam and Pro Cam, leaving it up to the user to figure out which application is right for any particular situation. That may change, however, if Nokia combines the two apps into a single Nokia Camera feature. #NokiaProCam + #...
