5G, premium build, face unlock with Soli, better cameras/extra lens, more RAM, faster UFS 3.1 storage, better display and higher end SoC are some of the ways they can differentiate between a mid-range Pixel 4a and premium mid-range 5/5XL.

Just bought this tablet today and the 4.3 update uploaded right away. So far I love the huge performance boost I've noticed over my original Motorola Xoom but I do have a couple of concerns with the tablet itself, I don't own the keyboard dock. - The build. While the design is quite nice and...

I just did what you did and the update was there. I was aware of it coming so I just kept checking and found it that way. If you are on 4.2.2 then your phone is not only a 'test model' it must also originally have been American. I say this because many regions, including Canada, did not receive...

Sounds weird, my battery stats after 2 hours today: Android system -69% Dialer-9% The rest is a combination of HTC and Google services and a little internet and I'm still at 86% battery life. It looks as though "android system" includes screen on time which is by far the biggest battery...

So far everything seems to be fine, the update went well, I just noticed one small thing so far. At work when I'm in certain areas of the plant where there is no signal I lose the weather animation above BlinkFeed. I'm not surprised that its gone without a signal but for some reason it won't...

I like 'easy battery saver' on the play store, it made quite the difference in battery life for me. Titanium back up is for rooted users I believe, are you rooted? The best you can do for apps that are pre-installed is disable them but if the warnings you get are a worry and you feel your phone...

Been seeing a lot of crashes and it happens with all the browsers I try, even the odd shut down although a restart of the tablet it's self has been rare in comparison to the browsers constantly crashing. I did a factory reset recently to see if that would help and I only re-installed half the...

Incipio. I think it's called the 'pro shine'. I wanted to keep the metal look of this phone and this case does just that. It has more of a stainless steel look when compared to the lighter aluminum of the phone but it looks great! I plan on sticking with this phone for a couple of years so i...

I bought the Incipio DualPro Shine case. It's a soft rubber inclosed design with a plastic spine and brushed metal back. I wanted to keep the metal look/theme of the phone and besides looking sharp, it also offers great protection. It's not cheap however but worth it imho. As for screen a...

If you are talking about extended battery for the ONE as an accessory then yes you can have it, removable back not required. It's called the mophie juice pack, also a battery equipped case said to be on the way. What reviews have you read and from what sites? The S4 is not even out yet and...

I loved my S3 but i wanted something different this time and i'm thinking the ONE and S4 are both great choices but i feel the ONE gets the edge over the S4. -not really a whole lot of difference in the OS version. Performance enhancements that are difficult to discern in real world use and...

I just switched to the HTC ONE from the GS3. The biggest turn off for me was the dim screen on the Galaxy. I read that the GS4 will improve on this but not by much. On the other hand the screen on my ONE is the best on the market and I've seen a huge improvement in screen brightness! Outside on...
