Does it really have crazy battery life? I'll be bringing you guys a review soon answering all these and more, but until then, check out my unboxing below, as well as physical comparison with the Nokia Lumia 820. ...

Late last week, LG Australia sent out a press release stating that they are currently ranked third in terms of Global Smartphone Wholesale Revenue. I'm not too sure what that really means in terms of "marketshare" or success for the brand, but I guess it can only be good, right? Check out the press release down below!

LG has made their desire to return to the smartphone as a strong competitor no secret! We have seen several high end devices launched, such as the Nexus 4, L Series II and the Optimus G. Packing both a great design, and some impressive specs, the Optimus G is not to be overlooked! With almost identical specs to the Nexus 4, the Optimus G is definitely a high-end contender, running on Android Jelly Bean 4.1. ...

Blackberry Australia had a launch event for the Blackberry 10 OS and Z10 yesterday in Sydney, and we were there to get all the latest news! It was less of a launch event, and more of a full day of awesomeness! It started at around 10am with developer oriented events, which sadly I didn't get an invite to, that concluded with the developer attendees getting their very own Z10! The main event was rather surpr ...

I have owned my Nokia Lumia 820 for a few months now. I absolutely love its flexibility. Not only can you change the back shell and swap colours whenever you choose. You can also get extra space when you run low, by adding a bigger MicroSD card. The HTC 8S comes second in this regard. Not only do I think the two-tone design is super cool, but it has better accessibility to the MicroSD. Almost hot-swappable. ...

Its no secret that I'm a bit of a Nokia Fanboy. Part of being a TRUE fanboy, is that you're open to other platforms, have used them, and still prefer your brand's product. In saying that, you need to also admit the flaws in that product. I was against Nokia going with Windows Phone (WP from herein), as it meant that my favourite OS, MeeGo-Harmattan, wouldn't be able to shine. Being a fanboy though, I still ...

I attended the Asia-Pacific launch event for the HTC One on Thursday, here in Sydney. I got the chance (with the help of my friend Norman) to compare shots taken with the HTC One to a Nokia 808 PureView and the Nokia Lumia 920. I also threw my EOS 600D into the works just for fun! Now I know 2 images and a 10 second video aren't a real test, but its all we could manage, given the devices were secured to dem ...

The HTC One is the latest flagship device to come out of the Taiwanese manufacturer, announced earlier this week. It sports a gorgeous 4.7" 1080p IPS LCD display, with a laminated coating, all while protected by Gorilla Glass 2. With pixel density sitting at 468 ppi, it has to be one of the clearest displays (if not THE clearest) I've ever seen on a smartphone. The physical size of the device was extremely ...
