Google, during the I/O 2013 announced the availability of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 running stock Android 4.2 jelly bean. This special edition Galaxy S4 will only be available direct from the Google Play Store. It will ship unlocked for $649 and is available starting June 26th. It will be coming with the 5-inch 1080p display. That means that it will have a quad-core processor, though it’s unclear just which one it will have, the Qualcomm 600 or the Exynos 5 Octa, a massive 2500 mAh battery, 13 MP, NFC , LTE and more.

Yet unlike the usual Nexus devices that Google has developed with LG and Asus, the GS4 model comes with a steep price – at $US649 for the 16GB configuration, packed with the GS4 hardwares but minus the Samsung bloatwares.

T-Mobile will exclusively carry Nokia’s new Windows Phone, the Lumia 925. A stunning metal body phone and not contract carrier.  The New Lumia 925 has 4G LTE support, a 4.5-inch display (1280×768-pixel resolution,) a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon, and the same 8.7-megapixel camera with image stabilization and bonafide low-light muscle.

Just few weeks ago T-Mobile started to offer the new iPhone 5 starting from $ 99.99. In only 3 weeks T-Mobile sold almost half a million iPhones. Now T-Mobile decided to increased the price by $ 50 dollar making the total price of the phone of $630 while before was $580.

Other carriers like AT&T and Verizon offer the new iPhone 5 16GB for only $ 199 with 2 years contract. While T-Mobile offer the same phone for $ 150 but you have to pay $20 per month for 2 years but not commitment.

Also the 32 and 64GB version have  been increased by $ 50 dollars.

Starting tomorrow T-Mobile will offer the new Blackberry Q10 device. The Q10 will sport 4G LTE connectivity, with a physical keyboard and touchscreen display. The new smartphone will add to a growing list of T-Mobile 4G LTE phones, including the recent iPhone, which launched on the carrier earlier this month.

The device also includes 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, LTE connectivity, NFC, a microSD slot and a 2100 mAh battery.

HTC One has finally begun to show up on stores, T-Mobile confirmed that the handset is now available on “select retail channels” for a price of just $99 on a two year contract which will set you back by $20 each month.

HTC One features a Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protected Super LCD3 capacitive display which measures at 4.7 inches and has an Full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels(thats 469 ppi!). The device comes with an internal memory of 32/64 GB which can not be expanded through a microSD card. The One does not disappoint us at all in terms of photography with a 4 MP, 2688 x 1520 pixels, autofocus, LED flash rear camera and a 2.1 MP primary camera. Both of these cameras are capable of shooting Full HD videos.

T-Mobile

The Lumia 521 comes fully paid and without a contract, following the lead of T-Mobile’s recently announced “un-carrier” strategy. HSN will carry the phone until some time in May where some retail store will offer the phone.

The Lumia 521 brings a 4” 800 x 480 display to the table, 512RAM, 8GB storage with a microSD slot, 5 megapixel camera with 720p video recording, 9.9mm thick and HSPA+ 21Mbps connectivity.
