In recent memory, there are only 2 phones I've been as excited to lay my hands on as the One X, and those are the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S II. There's a good reason for my excitement: this is the first phone to pack Nvidia's excellent Tegra 3 CPU. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, really; other touted features - such as the amazing unibody design, ultra high-quality camera, and beautiful screen - help build upon that excitement.
For those of you who have been waiting for the next wave of phones to drop, it's here. And it's amazing.

The title got you intrigued? You’re not the only one, same goes for me as well. Many people would like for something like this to come to fruition. Motorola is allegedly working on yet another device we didn’t know about, as you know Moto X+1 is expected to launch soon, this summer in fact.
LG has recently made a comeback with some of the best Android handsets in years. Its Samsung Galaxy Note rival is, LG G Pro, is a hit phone. So is its mainstream flagship G2 among the masses. With unique features that help it stand apart from a routine army of Android phones, G2 has certainly brought the company back into spotlight. High on its success over the past two years or so, LG now plans to launch a successor to its highly popular cell phone, G2. This makes it an exciting time for tech readers and followers.
As one of the most rumored and anticipated devices of the year, the successor to the HTC One is expected to show up at some time in the next few months. That is, an announcement is at least rumored for late February or March.
HTC, for its part, has done a decent job of keeping things under wraps for the so-called “HTC One 2″ but flagship models often feature their share of leaks. Rumors have been circulating for more than a few months as to what we might expect for the company’s 2014 premier model and are likely to continue up to the very moment of announcement.
We just recieved some new Nexus devices in the office (Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 10), so it was really strange to read about these rumors just before the unboxing. If true, this may be sad for many, but according to @eldarmurtazin on Twitter, Google will be killing off the Nexus line by next year in favor of Google Play Edition devices.
KGI Research has predicted the Samsung Galaxy S5 specifications base on rumors that their will be two different models of the device released. One of the GS5′s will be a Global Standard version and the other a Prime Global version. Of course everything is just rumors floating about and a few leaks to verify some but should just the same be taken with a grain of salt. This being said the specs don’t seem to be that far off.
