Samsung files for rights to “Galaxy Edge” name

It appears that Samsung has trademarked the name “Galaxy Edge,” which we believe will be a variant of the Galaxy Note 4.

The “Edge” variant will feature curved screens which possibly wrap around the edges of the device. The device may be limited to certain markets (most likely Asia). It’s possible that we’re going to see it unveiled alongside the Galaxy Note 4 on September 3.

Duet Review: I Love To Hate This Game

A long time ago in a galaxy far away, a wise old man once said, "let go your conscious self and act on instinct." Little did we know at the time Obi-wan was not just talking about using The Force, but about playing the game Duet. This title just came to Android as part of the Humble Mobile Bundle 6 last week, and a few days later it arrived in the Play Store.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Allegedly Leaks Ahead Of Official Unveiling

Samsung has successfully clamped down on leaks in the last few years. The flagship Galaxy S5 was successfully kept under wraps until the announcement, although that device wasn't much of a surprise as far as specs or design go. The Galaxy Note 4 is expected to show its face at Unpacked in a few weeks, but what have we here? It looks like the Note 4 in a series of leaked pics.

Skully Android-Powered Motorcycle Helmet More Than Doubles Its Indigogo Goal In Less Than An Hour After Launch

We've seen Android thrown into plenty of things over the last few years: ovens, refrigerators, set-top boxes, TVs, and a lot more. While some of those ideas are worth pursuing, there are certain ideas that just make sense. The Skully AR-1 motorcycle helmet is one of those ideas.

To describe it over-simplistically, it's a smart helmet. But if you drop all the buzzword garbage and actually take a closer look, you can see that it's much more.

HTC Sense TV App Update Brings Support For American Football And Rugby

The Sense TV app comes pre-installed exclusively on a number of HTC handsets, such as the One M7 and, more recently, the M8. It serves as an image-heavy, contextual remote that tries to take the hassle out of keeping up with what's playing on which channels. There's also a sports component that places emphasis on athletic shows and current scores. Today's update takes that last element and mixes it with good ol' American football and a shot of rugby.

Meizu To Unveil a “Stunning new OS” Soon?

Meizu has been teasing this on their Facebook page this morning, but it looks like the company is going to be showing off a stunning new OS soon. Right now, Meizu’s devices all run on Flyme OS. Which is currently at version 3.0 and runs on the MX2 and MX3 and is available for the Samsung Galaxy S4. From the rumors, leaks and speculation we’ve seen, it looks like the next flagship from Meizu is going to run Flyme 4.0, which is said to have quite a bit of changes, both in features and in the UI. And it might even be based off of Android L which is a huge difference compared to KitKat, itself.

Over in China, Meizu is a pretty popular OEM. Not as popular as Xiaomi, but still pretty popular. Right now the smartphone market over in China is the largest in the world. To think about it in numbers, China sells more smartphones each year than the US has people. That’s a lot of smartphones right?

Meizu’s Facebook post also says “What other features are you excited for on our forthcoming new device?” So far we don’t know much about the MX4, but we’re sure it’ll be a high-end device and still be cheaper than the likes of Samsung, LG, Motorola and other popular manufacturers high-end devices. At least when it comes to China. Likely a Snapdragon 805 or 810, depending on when it’ll be available, along with 3GB of RAM, is what we are thinking. Possibly a 5.2-inch display as well, although it’s not confirmed, none of these specs are.

How many of you out there are interested in seeing what Meizu’s new OS is going to look like? How many of you are looking forward to picking up Meizu’s next flagship smartphone? Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments down below.
