Perhaps one of the more anticipated Android devices this year, aside from the Galaxy S IV, is the M7 from HTC. This upcoming phone is rumored to sport a smaller 4.7-inch, 1080p display, when compared to its cousin, the DROID DNA (which features a 5-inch 1080p display), which means more pixels-per-inch.

While many critics loved the HTC One X’s design language (that includes us), it looks like the M7 will instead be following in the shoes...

As we begin a new year, we thought we’d give TechHog a new look. We decided to ditch the overall layout of the old site, which broke down all the news into specific groups and let the news feed feel more natural. If you still want to read specifically about Android, Nokia or something else, simply use the navigation bar across the top and select a category....

As the launch of RIM’s BlackBerry 10 rapidly approaches, we’re beginning to see more of the company’s devices being leaked. We’ve already seen the BlackBerry L-Model, or London, and just the other day, we saw the all black model with the physical keyboard, but a new leak shows a third and previously unseen white model. This new QWERTY white BlackBerry could be nothing more than a concept or developer device, but it could also be a lower priced “consumer device” to replace the BlackBerry Pearl/Curve....
