Guest Robert Nazarian Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Things were a little calmer this week now that Mobile World Congress is out of the way, but the world of Android never stops. The news and leaks regarding the All New One is starting to boil over, and we still have a couple of weeks until the official unveiling. However, there is always another phone waiting in the shadows. The LG G3 could be released in the early summer, and the leaks are just starting to heat up. Speaking of the G3, the Nexus 6 will mostly likely be based on it, which isn’t surprising. Motorola unveils more color options for the Moto X and continues to improve their Touchless Control. The U.S. carriers continue to drop prices on their monthly plans thanks to T-Mobile, but will the price for off contract flagship devices ever drop? It’s time to get caught up and get ready for another exciting week in the world of Android.
