Microsoft's new Lumia 650 emphasizes its new business focus, but without Continuum and other top stories.

  • Microsoft's new Lumia 650 emphasizes its new business focus, but without Continuum

    More and more, Microsoft seems to transitioning Windows Phone into a business-oriented device. So it’s a little odd that its new phone, the Lumia 650, appears to have launched without support for Microsoft's Continuum Display Dock. Microsoft’s Lumia 650 is decidedly a midrange to low-end phone: according to Microsoft’s specifications, it’s powered by a low-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 212, with just 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, as well as a 5-inch, 1280x720 display. And, like the Lumia 950,..

Basically, this is a new line of mid-range phones from LG that will offer "one exceptional feature." It kind of doesn't make sense until you actually see what each of these phones is all about. First off is the X screen. This phone takes the V10's unique "second scree..

    Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge: everything we know so far
    In just under a week, Samsung is expected to unveil two new smartphones: the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. Based on the rumors, leaked images, and purported specs that we've seen, the company will build on the total design rewrite that the Galaxy S6 received last year. In 2015, Samsung's flagship featured a premium, metal and glass design that exuded quality, but came at the sacrifice of beloved power user features. It appears Samsung has heard those complaints and may be ready to bring back wh..
