The Nexus 6 is the best overall Android phone we’ve used thanks to Android Lollipop, but it is big and no bargain.
For half a decade, Google’s Nexus phones have shown phone makers and regular folks exactly what it
BlackBerry CEO John Chen probably has one of the toughest jobs in the mobile industry: attempting to improve the fortunes of the once-great Canadian smartphone juggernaut. However, there’s something else in the job description no one noticed until now: He must also attempt to convert his wife to BlackBerry, according to an interview with the Financial Times.
Chen revealed that his wife would rather use her Samsung Galaxy smartphone than a BlackBerry smartphone. It turns out Chen has bee

Yahoo Mail users, we have some bad news: It’s time to change your e-mail password.
In a company blog post Thursday night, Yahoo revealed that a number of users’ passwords and usernames were exposed to cyber-attackers who used malicious computer software to gain access to lists of Yahoo Mail credentials.
The information was likely collected from a third-party database, Jay Rossiter, Yahoo’s senior vice president of platforms and personalization products, wrote in the posting.
The company is res
After a scant 29 months, the love affair between Google and Motorola has ended. On August 15, 2011, Google announced its intent to acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion. Today, itannounced its intent to sell it to Lenovo for $2.91 billion. Yes, Google wanted Moto out so badly it took a $7+ billion hit to be free.
As a part of the separation, Google will retain all of Motorola’s stuff (it’s patents) and Lenovo has promised to take on Motorola’s name when they wed.

President Obama will partner with Google for the “first-ever Presidential Hangout Road Trip,” Google announced today.
“Next Tuesday, at 9pm EST, President Obama will deliver his annual State of the Union address to Congress. Later that week, you’ll have the chance to connect with the President and speak about his administration’s plan in the first-ever Presidential Hangout Road Trip,” claims Google in a blog post.
But it would appear the “Road Trip” does not require the president to hit the ro
When it comes to the U.S. smartphone market, it's mostly a two-horse race. Cumulatively, and sell two out of every three smartphones, with smaller manufacturers such as HTC and Motorola fighting for what's left.
But that could change next year, when Asus brings its PadFone to the United States. The device, powered by Google's Android, is particularly revolutionary and has the potential to disrupt the mobile market.
Asus' PadFone combines a tablet with a smartpho
Reuters is reporting that Google is one of the companies interested in buying Blackberry or at least some parts of it, among other companies like Cisco and SAP. This sounds like a good move for Google, depending on what exactly they’re interested in getting from Blackberry and how much they’re willing to spend for that.
For example, I’m not so sure buying the whole company outright, with all of its employees, would be worth it for Google. Paying another $5-$7 billion for a dying company, on
You read that right – Yahoo received more U.S. Internet traffic than Google in July, according to the latest monthly report of the top 50 U.S. Web properties from comScore. Google has held the number one traffic spot for the past two years. The last time Yahoo found itself in the top position was May 2011 .

Best Buy leaked it early and then Google finally made it official: the second generation Nexus 7 is here. The 7-inch Android tablet to beat got some upgraded specs and the newest version of Android, 4.3. It’s thinner, lighter, and more drool-worthy. Will it make the iPad Mini nervous?
The Nexus 7 keeps the 7-inch display of its predecessor rather than adding a few fractions of an inch as other tablets have done recently. Instead, Google upped the pixel density by adding a full
Several days ago we received a Samsung Galaxy S 4 Google Play edition to play with and shared our first impressions. This week we take a closer look at what’s different between this handset and its TouchWiz-equipped cousins by scrutinizing the benchmarks, battery life and camera performance. Samsung pleasantly surprised us at Google I/O when it announced a Galaxy S 4 running stock Android. HTC then joined the party with its own unskinned superphone, the One. This Galaxy S 4, which landed in th
Android users, take note: Google Keep -- a long-overdue app for creating lists and reminders -- has arrived.
Today the folks from T-Mobile have confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.3-inch phone tablet hybrid will be gracing their networks in the coming weeks. T-Mobile actually confirmed this earlier today with a post on Twitter, but now have officially released the full statement and press release. We didn’t learn much, but you can rule out an upgraded processor.
Being so late to the game many thought T-Mobile might release the Galaxy Note with an upgraded 1.5 GHz Qualcomm S4 processor tha
In 2008, when the Eee PC was revolutionizing the computing world and driving every manufacturer to make cheaper and smaller laptops, Sony washed its hands of the whole thing. The “race to the bottom,” the company said, would profoundly impact the industry, killing profit margins and flooding the market with cheap, terrible machines. Sony was wrong, its stance lasting about a year before joining the competition with its own VAIO W.
Four years on we’re buying better laptops than ever before and,
![[Rumor] Galaxy Note 2 Will Sport a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED Screen](http://androidheadlines.com/images/rumor-galaxy-note-will-sport-a-inch-super-amoled-screen_asr-w_0.jpg)
We’ve previously reported about the various rumors of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 floating around. Today, an exclusive tip that was given to GSM Arena has the Note 2 confirmed to have a 5.5″ Super AMOLED screen with the phones design taking a kin to the Samsung Galaxy S III. Interestingly enough, even though the screen is slightly larger than the predecessor, the width and the form factor of the Note 2 will actually be slimmer than the first one. That’s definitely good news to hear and I’m eage
