Update

Continuing the recent trend we take a quick look at three of the newest budget smartphones on the market, all three of these devices are included in this week's data update which is available for download now.

In January earlier this year we released information about our plans to support operating system subversions. During April we made changes so that 51Degrees provides information about both Android and iOS software subversions. We're now happy to announce the imminent release of the second stage of our subversion plan, adding support for subversions in the native Android browsers.

Last week we added 229 new devices to the 51Degrees device detection database and we will have a look at some of the tablets that have been recently released by Denver Electronics.

The world's biggest handset manufacturer Samsung, recently released two new models in the Galaxy A and J smartphone lineups. The Galaxy A8 and Galaxy J7 are both mid range handsets looking to set the bar higher for this market amid tough competition.

Several new Sony Xperia devices have been added this week hot on the heels of the rumoured Sony Xperia Z5 line-up coming this fall, only shortly after the recent release of the Xperia Z4 in Japan and just last week, the Xperia Z3+, which despite the confusing naming scheme is simply the international version of the Xperia Z4.

This week we added the latest smartphones from the worlds largest telecommunications manufacturer Huawei. The company has been described as China's most globally successful company and last year became the number 1 applicant for international patents and is currently the forth largest smartphone maker in the world.

A reminder that support for Version 2 has now ceased. We strongly recommend that you consider upgrading to Version 3

The Data team has added 191 new internet enabled devices this week consisting of 87 tablets, 95 Smartphones and 9 others.

Please note that if you are still using 51Degrees Version 2 we strongly recommend upgrading to Version 3 which brings a wealth of feature and performance improvements. Be aware that support for Version 2 will cease at the end of May 2015, meaning there will be no more data file updates or available technical support for Version 2.

Last week 51Degrees added 195 devices into a database, including Asus ZenFone 2 smartphone. This new device was presented at MWC15 in Barcelona and is already in our database. Also now 51Degrees supports iOS operating system subversions.

W/C 30th March 2015 - 3 changes have been made to the meta data to support new sensor types and to better report on mobile devices emulating desktops. 246 devices were added including the LG G Flex 2. These changes were made in consultation with our users and will enable you to detect a couple of newer features available on modern smart devices today.
