Release dates leak for Verizon's Nexus 6, Galaxy Core Prime

For the past couple of days it's been obvious that Verizon is getting ready to sell the Motorola Nexus 6 soon, after all the carrier put this on its own website. If you're dying to know when exactly that will happen, a new leak should help you. According to the document below, which is purported to be some kind of official Verizon communication, the Nexus 6 should land at Big Red on February 26. But as you can see, it's not the only handset that this carrier is going to launch in the next few weeks. On March 5, the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime will make its debut at Verizon. And on March 12 the Motorola Droid Turbo will get a new color version: "sapphire blue". If you're wondering what Verizon's Nexus 6 will end up looking like, another leak says it's going to be exactly as you can see in the following image. So no, there's no escaping the ever-present Verizon logo. That will be plastered on the phone's back, but perhaps there's hope for it n...

The Nexus 7 Folio case

A solid case with a few neat tricks, but how can it ever be worth the price? Google is no stranger to releasing disproportionately expensive accessories for its inexpensive devices. Since the days of the Nexus 4, you've been paying a premium to have an official "Google" accessory from the Play Store. The Nexus 7 Folio, the latest $49 case from Google for your tablet, falls right in line with that history. The first thing you'll notice about this new accessory is that it follows much the same design (and two of the same colors) as the recently-released Nexus 5 Bumper Case , although this offering is ironically more of a "bumper" than what's available for the phone. The Nexus 7 Folio will cover just the edges of your tablet, with either the back or front protected by a flip cover, depending on whether you're using the device or not. Let's see if it's worth your investment. read more        

Hands-on review: Google Nexus 5

The new Nexus 5 manages to offer a huge step up in power while maintaining a brilliantly low price tag. The Google Nexus 5 is a phone that's the product of constant evolution, companies one-upping each other as they try to prove they can make the best Nexus. The Nexus One was HTC's only shot at the title, with Samsung making two more then LG getting the nod for the most recent edition, the Nexus 4 . While that was a decent phone for a stellar price, the Nexus 5 is a huge step forward for a number of reasons - not least the sub-£300 price tag (for the 16GB version - it's £339 for the 32GB iteration). There's the Snapdragon 800 chip at the heart of things, running the show incredibly smoothly. The Google Nexus 5 is based loosely on the LG G2 , with the same processor and similar IPS LCD screen, albeit with the new Google phone coming in at a smaller 4.95-inch. This means that video and internet browsing looks stellar, with colours bright and vivid without looking over sa...
