Apple launched its new 8GB iPhone 5c in Europe this morning in an effort to boost disappointing sales figures — but there’s just one problem. At £429 ($712) in the United Kingdom, it’s still far too expensive for budget-conscious smartphone consumers.
In fact, there are a whole bunch of flagship Android-powered handsets with bigger displays and better specifications that you can get significantly cheaper. Here are six of the best.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 boasts of the company’s proprietary Super AMOLED display, which is claimed to be one of the best mobile displays in the market. And a reviewer decided to put it to test against the newly launched Sony Xperia Z2 which features the 1080p Triluminos LCD panel with the Sony Bravia engine.
Millions of Galaxy S3 owners were understandably upset when their handset was absent from a recent list of Samsung devices set to get a KitKat upgrade — but it seems there’s still hope for the two-year-old handset.
According to a leaked Samsung document obtained by an “unnamed insider,” the South Korean company is quietly readying an Android 4.4 upgrade for the Galaxy S3 that is scheduled to arrive as early as next month.
It’s going to be a good morning for readers in the U.K. who have a Galaxy S4 or Galaxy Note 3, because Samsung has finally starting rolling out its much-anticipated Android 4.4.2 KitKat upgrade. This is the same update that arrived in Germany and other parts of Europe weeks ago, and it brings a number of tasty TouchWiz improvements.
Is your Galaxy Note 3 stuck at the startup logo after a manual Android 4.4.2 KitKat upgrade went wrong in Odin? Don’t worry; you almost certainly haven’t bricked it, and it can still be saved. I had the same problem myself this week, so I thought I’d put together a little guide on how to fix it.
