Android Wallpaper: Resolutionary

My first smartphone had a whopping 3.2-inch display with a gorgeous 320 x 480 resolution. Five years later there is a smartphone on the market with a 5.5-inch display and 1440 x 2560 resolution. For reference, these are what those two resolutions look like next to each other. So what’s the point of this trip down memory lane? BIG WALLPAPERS!

It was only a matter of time before 1080p displays on smartphones were not good enough. The LG G3 was the first device to venture into the 1080p+ territory, and you can guarantee other phone makers will quickly follow suite. To prepare for the onslaught of pixels we have compiled six ultra HD wallpapers for your devices. We’ve provided a mix of 2K and 4K sizes for your viewing pleasure.

To get one of these wallpapers on your phone, tablet, or even PC, simply tap or click the download link underneath each image. Let us know which one is your favorite, and be sure to share a screenshot if you use one of these wallpapers!

The HTC Flounder (aka Volantis, Nexus tablet) receives its WiFi certification as we inch closer to a release

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 07:52 PM PDT

HTC Flounder WiFi Certification

We’ve been hearing a lot of chatter around the internets in recent months about an HTC Volantis, otherwise known as the HTC Flounder. The tablet, which is rumored to be HTC’s entry for the Nexus 9, recently made a pit stop at the WiFi Alliance.

The tablet’s certification clearly lists HTC Corporation under the company name, along with the tablet’s codename appearing in the firmware as “flounder” and the operating system as “Android version L.” Doesn’t get more obvious than that. Also interesting are the 3 separate model numbers for the HTC tablet: 0P8210000, 0P8220000, and 0P8230000. Now the obvious assumption is that it could be referencing different color options, or possible the usual WiFi/LTE equipped models — but then what about the 3rd? We suppose that’s still anyone’s guess at the moment.

It was back in May we first references to an HTC-made “Flounder” tab appear in AOSP and in June, some of the device’s specs were tipped off. While WiFi Certification doesn’t really tell us too much, it is a clear indication of the device’s existence and that — ever so gently — we’re getting closer to an official release.
