Week In Review is back to recap all the major announcements of the week, which you might have missed. The past Week 44 saw a lot of new smartphone announcements. Motorola, Samsung and Oppo revealed new devices and all of them are quite interesting.
Oppo made a splash with two new smartpones - the Oppo N3 with a 16MP motorized camera and the Oppo R5, which is now officially the thinnest smartphone in the world.
Motorola and Verizon held a join event at which the two companies revealed the Droid Turbo. It's a 5.2" QHD powerhouse with a Snapdragon 805 chipset and uses cool materials such as ballistic nylon and kevlar. Lastly, Samsung revealed its long-rumored Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3. Both of them boast a metal frame and add a dash of class to its mid-range line-up.

The sensor is 1/2.3" in size and the pixel size is 1.34micrometer. The camera uses Schneider Kreuznach-certified lens to round up an...

If you think QHD screen resolution (that's 2,560x1,440) on smartphones is rather ridiculous, you'll surely be even more flabbergasted in 2016. That's because at some point during that year, Sharp is set to have finalized its first 4K smartphone display. It's still unclear which exact resolution...

The new Motorola Droid Turbo garnered great interest but as a Verizon-exclusive it felt out of reach. Now Motorola is sending out invites for a November 5 event to announce a global rollout. The invite doesn't call out the device by name but the corner of the back shows Droid Turbo's characteristic...
