Motorola has already released its flagship second-generation Moto X on multiple carriers, but has it been saving something even better as a Verizon exclusive? Engadget points out that the leakers over at HelloMotoHK have just published pictures of a new Motorola smartphone called the Droid Turbo that will be an exclusive for Verizon. What’s more, Engadget says that “some reports suggest it’ll pair a Quad HD display with a 2.65GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset and a 20-megapixel camera.” In other words, this new phone could offer more impressive specs than the ones Motorola offered with the 2014 version of the Moto X.

One of the things we Android fans have grown very fond of over the years has been the universal Back button that helps us navigate between web pages, apps and much more. However, we’ve also found that the Back button can be somewhat unpredictable in different settings, which can be an annoying issue for a feature that’s so central to the Android experience. To improve this situation, Android user Chris Lacy has put together a detailed proposal for making the Back button work more consistently and effectively across different use cases.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are both well-built devices, but they’re not indestructible. Their displays aren’t made of sapphire glass, and they may shatter when dropped from certain heights and on certain angles. Even more annoyingly, the metal body may bend if held into a pocket for too long, as some customers have found out. Obviously, if such regular accidents can affect the health of Apple’s new iPhones, then you shouldn’t expect it to survive stranger ones.

Apple’s new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus aren’t just bigger than any previous iPhones, they also feature a completely overhauled design that is easily the most polarizing iPhone design Apple has ever created. Some people absolutely love it, others positively hate it, and some people have mixed feelings about certain aspects of the 2014 iPhones’ new look.

Wherever you land on that wide spectrum, it’s easy to see why the peculiar plastic antenna lines and the protruding camera lens on the back of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus might be off-putting for some users, but a new video highlights one way to fix the second of those two design issues.

Apple’s recently released iOS 8 update packs a lot of interesting new features, but it also contains some tweaks that some users do not appreciate. One new feature in the Photos app is apparently so annoying that iOS users who have already upgraded their devices to iOS 8, or who purchased an iPhone 6 model with iOS 8 preinstalled, just can’t stop complaining about it.
