Guest Robert Nazarian Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Well the LG G3 dominated the news once again, but this time it was actually unveiled for real. It sure seems like an awesome phone, but does it have a chance to steal some of Samsung’s customers? HTC is said to be dropping development on the HTC One (M8) Prime, but it appears they still have a few more variants in the pipeline. What will the next flagship phone be? It appears Motorola is next in line with the Moto X+1. Android TV is oh so close, but will the failure of Google TV taint it in anyway? It’s time to get caught up and get ready for what is sure to be another exciting week in the world of Android.
