Nexus 5 review: still top-shelf one year on
The LTE-enabled Nexus 5 is the successor to Google’s hugely popular Nexus 4, arriving one year after the first LG-built Google phone appeared to incredible fanfare and demand. While the Nexus 5 has recently been superceded by the Nexus 6, the larger format of the newer Nexus has some people concerned. Fortunately, the Nexus 5 will continue to be sold alongside the Nexus 6, and it has now been updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop. In our revisited Nexus 5 review, we see how the Google phone stacks up as one of Google’s longest running smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S4 review: is last year's phone still a good buy?
There's no question that the Galaxy S4 was the most-hyped device of 2013. Samsung's poured millions of dollars into marketing the S4 as a "life companion," which can translate your speech at the drop of a hat, beautify your photos and help you connect with the folks around you. Samsung is now a bonafide Apple competitor, with a rabid fanbase to show for it. But underneath all of the hype, is this a phone you're going to want to own? How does it stack up against the competition out there? We've been playing around with the Galaxy S4 for a few days and we have a few words to say on the matter. Here is our Galaxy S4 review. Our review of Samsung's latest flagship, the Galaxy S22

Google Nexus 9 review: a glass half full
The Nexus 9, Google's new tablet built by HTC, has already made a massive impact on Android by being the first device to run the final version of Android 5.0 Lollipop. The Nexus 9 also bridges the size gap between Google's previous tablet offerings in the Nexus 7 (2013) and Nexus 10 while introducing a 4:3 aspect ratio for the first time. Here's our full Nexus 9 review.

HTC One (E8) review: a lighter, cheaper One (M8)
When I hear criticisms of the HTC One (M8), they are usually one of the following four gripes: too heavy, bad camera, don't like metal, too expensive. But what if you could have a lighter, cheaper, plastic M8 with a ''normal'' camera? Well, that's exactly what HTC built. Check out our HTC One (E8) review to see if it's a better One (M8).

Hands on: Motorola Moto Maxx review: Motorola takes the world by storm
During an event in Sao Paulo, Motorola has officially announced the Moto Maxx, the international version of the Droid Turbo (which is the exclusive model of US carrier Verizon). We rocketed to Brazil for a hands-on review of the Moto Maxx, and our first impressions were very positive.

LG G Watch R review: Circular, but not full circle
Most Android Wear smartwatches are not very good right now. A lot of this is down to Android Wear still being in its fledgling stages, complete with bugs, limitations and some hardware issues. The LG G Watch R is no different: while it is very good in some respects, there's still a bit too much that isn't up to scratch to make it a must have - and yet it is still probably the best Android Wear watch around. Read on for the full LG G Watch R review to see where it comes full circle and where it comes up short.

Android 5.0 Lollipop review: Material Design, more functions and overall more intuitive
Google finally announced the new Nexus devices which will all come running Android 5.0 Lollipop, the latest iteration of Android. Although it has yet to officially come to the Nexus line, not to mention other Android devices, we’ve been able to test a preview version of the OS, inspired by the Material Design found in the SDK and factory images for the Nexus 5 and the Nexus 7 (2013). Thanks to this, we can safely confirm that Google has completely renovated the entire user interface as well as introduced a great deal of new features. Check out our Android Lollipop review.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha review: stylish and accomplished
Samsung received a lot of flack upon its introduction of the Galaxy Alpha, with many people casting it off as an “iPhone clone” with even worse battery life. The device is now available and we’ve had a chance to put it through its paces to determine whether the initial hate was justified. How good is it? Find out in our Galaxy Alpha review.

Hands on: Android TV review: Google's developer kit explored
With the announcement of Android TV in addition to its already accomplished Chromecast dongle, Google has brought two devices with very similar concepts to the market. We were able to try Android TV, so without further ado, here’s what we discovered, how both devices differ as well as their similarities.
