HTC Droid DNA review(www.engadget.com)

Guanine, adenine, thymine, cytosine... Android? The Droid DNA -- the latest addition to Verizon's Droid series -- may not contain any actual nucleotides (that we know of), but that doesn't make this HTC-made superphone any less of a powerhouse. On the contrary, we've been eyeballing this handset with eager anticipation ever since it first launched in Japan as the J Butterfly; much like its counterpart from the Land of the Rising Sun, the DNA boasts a jaw-dropping 5-inch, 1080p display. But while that may be the headliner-worthy feature, you certainly can't go wrong with a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and 2GB of RAM taking charge behind the scenes, along with an ImageSense camera and other top-notch specs.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9-Inch First Impressions: Is This the Comfiest Big Tablet?(www.gizmodo.com)

The Kindle Fire 8.9 just showed up on our doorstep. It looks as lovely as we remember it. And instead of banging out a half-baked review in a day or two, we're giving you our quick impressions of it, and will chime in with a full review later.
The first thing you notice is how much nicer the 8.9-inch tablet is to hold one-handed than a 10-inch tablet (and especially compared to the 11.6-inch convertibles). That's partially because of the largeish bezel, which makes it nice to hold. But because of that, partially, it's not small in the way the iPad Mini is. The Mini feels like a really big small tablet, while this one is more of a small big tablet. Comics, for example, are totally readable without zooming in.

The Droid DNA would very much like to grab that mantel, please. And it's got about every spec a geek could ask for. As we know, specs don't always add up to a great device, but then again, sometimes they do.

Review: Apple iPhone 5(www.bgr.in)

To say that the iPhone 5 is the most anticipated smartphone of the year is an understatement. It is perhaps the smartphone people have waited for two years especially after Apple launched the iPhone 4S last October, which was physically identical to the iPhone 4. At the same time, one has to admit that buying the latest iPhone is not a no-brainer anymore. Android has matured by leaps and bounds over the last year in every conceivable way – be it pure usability, UI innovation, apps, or even hardware. The iPhone has never had it so tough. So where does that leave the iPhone 5? Is it still the best smartphone in the world? Read on to find out.
