Android M expected to introduce native fingerprint authentication at Google I/O
Already supported by various third-party hardware manufacturers through proprietary software modifications, this new fundamental OS feature could pave the way for the most advanced Nexus yet. As the Motorola-made N6 phablet still has a long way to go until turning one, and radical upgrades are simply unattainable at the moment, it feels safe to predict...

High-end 4 GB RAM Samsung tablet with Intel inside unmasked by benchmark
The cryptic “Chopin-LTE” apparently runs Android 5.1 Lollipop and produces Galaxy Tab S 10.5-eclipsing Geekbench scores.

First-gen Motorola Moto G updated to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop
Much later than owners of the OG budget soldier would have probably hoped for, but still ahead of the higher-end 2013 Moto X. Launched way back in November 2013 and effectively discontinued after a couple of 4G-enabled spin-offs and a 3G-only follow-up, the crowd-pleasing original Moto G is at last faced with its most drastic...

Apple Store unexpectedly fuels iPhone 6c speculation with puzzling render
Look, a Touch ID sensor-sporting mini-plastic iPhone. It was only a couple of years ago that we could have easily guessed Apple’s product roadmap with our eyes closed and ear just occasionally to the ground. Nowadays, Tim Cook’s Cupertino outfit seems fickler (in a good way), and its plans are harder to predict than those...

Finally, Nvidia admits 500 GB Shield Pro is headed to retail… this month
Double serving of happy news, though the GPU specialist didn’t go for a trifecta, dodging questions about prices.

Wealth of info revealed on HTC’s upcoming low-end H7 tablet
No connection to the Google-endorsed Nexus 9 launched last year, at least not as far as screen size, RAM count or processing power are concerned. How little can two “siblings” have in common?
