The HTC Butterfly is over a year and a half old and it was one of the first Android handsets to sport a 1080p display back in 2012. Most users of the smartphone had given up hopes of seeing the Android 4.4 update, but HTC has now confirmed that an update is on the horizon via its official Facebook page.
Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi is known for its budget ranged handsets like the Redmi and the recently launched Redmi Note. Thanks to low-cost devices like these, the sales volume of the company is pretty high. And according to new figures published by the company, it has sold over 11 million smartphones in 2014 already, which is a remarkable feat considering that we’re only three months into the year.
According to a new report from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, the Android platform gained a marketshare of 3.9% in the U.S. according to recent statistics. And among the Android manufacturers, it is LG which has accounted for a majority of the sales in the region.
Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi has announced a new user configurable hardware button which fits into the 3.5mm headphone slot of a smartphone. Users can assign the button to perform various functions with a pattern of clicks.
The HTC One M8 broke cover roughly a week ago in the U.S., UK and the company’s home region of Taiwan. While there are no sales figures available for its sales in the U.S. or the UK at the moment, retailers in Taiwan are claiming that the smartphone is moving along quite well.
