Hey guys, I just wanted to ask for the opinions of folks who'd likely know more than I would. I'm currently looking to buy a new phone in the next couple of months, and it's down to either the T2 Ultra or the Z3. I seriously like them both - the Z3 for its top-notch imaging (Audio and Video)...

If you don't mind using a phone with two hands, I think it's a good deal for its price. It's a 6-inch phone with a 720p display, a 13MP rear camera, and a GSMArena Battery Endurance rating of 96 Hours. In all honesty, though, a lot will depend on what you really look for or want in a phone and...

Well, both phones are really nice, so it's hard to go wrong with either, I suppose. Personally, though, I like how the Z3 looks hardware-wise more than the G3 (I don't like how the buttons on the back look, and I'm no fan of the odd-looking LG logo being prominent on the front either). The Z3...

I'm currently on a Nexus 7, and I'm still pretty interested in getting a Nexus 9 in the near future, despite some of the criticisms it's gotten (I'm aiming for the version that fixes the too-flush side buttons and the light bleed issue, just to be clear). My line of thinking on this is that...

Hmmm... I know of a few things that kinda fit what you're looking for, I guess... There's Joby's GripTight XL mount which you can use to secure a large phone to a tripod or one of their own GorillaPods, that's about $30, I think. Then there's the Square Jellyfish Spring Tripod Mount, which is...

I've been pretty curious, if for nothing but the price points. Seriously competitive. It's a bit harder to make educated decisions before buying any one of these, since thorough reviews are harder to come by. I really like reading reviews from GSMArena and AnandTech, but they do mostly the...

Guy from the Philippines checking in here. Still nothing. Maybe it has to do with some of the odd bits and ends that people are finding wrong with the initial Lollipop rollout? If I understand correctly, some folks who still haven't gotten 5.0 at the moment may likely go right to 5.0.1 due to...

Sony has announced that the Z series will be getting Android Lollipop sometime in 2015. The newer "Z Series" phones (Z3, Z2, Z1) are expected to get 'em sooner, then the first Z series phones (Z, Z Ultra) will likely get them afterwards.

Welp, I just recently bought Camera FV-5 from the play store for that very reason. I'm using it to try and learn more about shooting decent photos using just a smartphone. Might be useful to go give it a look-see. :)

I've yet to get lollipop where I am in the world yet. I can't wait! Out of curiosity, how much battery life per charge did you usually get prior to getting Android lollipop?

From what I understand (and from several articles and forum posts I've read), update roll outs depends on what part of the world you're in, as well as your carrier. I started out with a mid-range Xperia Sola, shipped with 2.2, and I eventually got its 4.0 update several months after Sony...

I've been using my HTC Flyer for about a good two years now, and I'm completely satisfied with it. Hardware's quite dated, of course, so you may experience a few quibbles here and there should you decide to get one now. Here's what it's like to own one: The good stuff: You will love the build...

Hey guys, I've seen some threads on this via the search function, but there wasn't much discussion going on on them (also not sure about the scope of the discussions involved in 'em). I kind of get the vibe that - for the most part - anti-virus apps are not really necessary if you take a decent...
