Looking for a fast fix with your Android games for your phone? Look no further</h2>
Playing games while on the move can be tricky.  You're dealing with 
the relatively small screen of a smartphone and short amounts of free 
time.  Meanwhile many games focus on longer play sessions and small, 
detailed controls.  For tablet play that's fine, but we're rounding up 
bite-sized, finger-friendly fun available on Android that's best suited 
for smartphones.<br />

<h3>
Super Hexagon</h3>
<img alt="Super Hexagon" class="image-large aligncenter" src="http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/article_images/2014/03/superhexagon.jpg?itok=rHctlRxD" /><br />

Super Hexagon is an actiongame where players dive through a maze of 
walls that are continually spinning and fallinginwards. A constant, 
disorienting motion makes accomplishing this insanely difficult, and an 
amazing soundtrack doesn't help the nerves either. As you beat each 
stage, a harder version of the level is unlocked. Before long, things 
get well and truly ridicadonk.<br />

Super Hexagon is the game of choice for gluttons of punishment.<br />

Dumb Ways to Die</h3>
<img alt="Dumb Ways to Die" class="image-large aligncenter" src="http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/article_images/2014/03/dumbwaystodie.jpg?itok=oeFnGxR9" /><br />

Players in Dumb Ways to Die have to survive a barrage of deadly 
mini-games which get harder as time goes on. These include swatting away
 deadly wasps, shooing piranhas away from your crotch, and holding onto 
balloons so you don't dive onto the tracks. Three adorable animated 
deaths and it's game over. As you progress, your collection of dancing 
cartoon corpses grows.<br />

All in all, Dumb Ways to Die is a fantastically morbid test of reflexes.<br />

<h3>
Despicable Me: Minion Rush</h3>
<img alt="Despicable Me: Minion Rush" class="image-medium aligncenter" src="http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/medium/public/article_images/2014/03/despicableme.jpg?itok=3NGpsZhR" /><br />

Despicable Me: Minion Rush is an endless runner featuring the 
adorable little creatures from the popular animated film. Players have 
to swipe left and right to avoid incoming obstacles and collect bananas 
and power-ups. Camera angles and control types change regularly, 
demanding players stay on their toes, and with lots of unlockable 
content, including costumes and new running areas, the game stays fresh 
for a long time.<br />

Despicable Me: Minion Rush is hugely entertaining and a great way to kill a few minutes.<br />

Dots</h3>

Dots is an easygoing puzzle title that involves lining up 
identically-colored dots as quickly as possible. Gather up dots by 
drawing a line through them, and get bonuses for creating closed loops. 
At the end of a round, either by time or number of moves, the gathered 
dots can be spent on power-ups to help in future matches. Pass-and-play 
multiplayer is also available, if you want to see how you stack up 
against your buddies.<br />

Dots is easy to pick up, and great to look at.<br />

Canabalt is a fast and furious endless runner with a minimalist art 
style. All you have to do is tap the screen anywhere to jump gaps 
between the buildings you're running over. There are a lot of other 
one-touch endless runners on Android, but Canabalt excels for its high 
speed, fluid animation, and short play cycle. You won't find any in-app 
purchases, power-ups, or anything like that here; the only challenge is 
to make it farther than your last run before faceplanting into another 
skyscraper.<br />

Despite its age, Canabalt is a pure, pared-down runner.<br />

Fruit Ninja is a hugely popular action game. Players make quick 
swipes to slice fruit tossed in the air before it hits the ground, but 
be sure not to hit the bombs. Though it's an older game, the developer 
has been updating regularly with new content. There's a premium 
currency, starfruit, that players earn through gameplay which is used to
 buy these bomb deflectors, bonus fruit, and new blades.<br />

Fruit Ninja has weathered the test of time and remains accessible and fun.<br />

For a casual futbol game, Flick Soccer is great. It presents a 
variety of kicking games where players have to race against the clock, 
hit targets, and otherwise score some goals. The swipe recognition is 
highly polished and results in some very natural-feeling arcs. Even 
after the kick has landed, you can alter the trajectory with a quick 
swipe.<br />

Tetris Blitz</h3>

Tetris Blitz is a reimagining of the classic block-dropping puzzle. 
Random blocks spawn at the top of the screen, and you have to tap a 
location to drop them so a solid row of blocks is formed. That row 
disappears, and you get points; the more rows you take out at once, the 
more points you get. The catch is that you only have two minutes to 
score as many points as possible. They've also tossed in power-ups which
 help you along the way, and a Frenzy meter which fills up as you score 
points and ultimately initiates a massive spout of points bonuses.<br />

Tetris Blitz is a fun, fast twist on a classic.<br />

Major Mayhem is side-scrolling shooter with dirt-simple controls. 
Players tap on secret agents and ninjas as they pop out from behind 
cover to open fire. Save scientists from the evil clutches of 
ne'er-do-wells, earn coins, and unlock new weapons and outfits.<br />

Major Mayhem is a goofy, action-packed ride with lots of flavor.<br />

In Beach Buggy Blitz players drive along the beach for as long as 
possible. There are plenty of obstacles along the way that slow you down
 if you hit them, and if you can't make the next checkpoint before the 
clock runs out, it's back to the starting line. Coins are scattered 
along the route  which fund upgrades like new rides and power-ups. Dust,
 water, and lighting effects are all hugely impressive, and add up to a 
surprisingly rich experience.<br />

Though Beach Buggy Blitz is kid-friendly, it's a ton of fun for everybody<br />

The New HTC One: What We are Expecting

<h2>
Pre-release leaks have given us a pretty good look at HTC's next big thing</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We're just a couple of weeks out from the announcement of HTC's 2014 flagship smartphone, the "all new" HTC One
 — also known by the codename "M8." And thanks to a steady trickle of 
pre-release leaks, we've already been able to learn a significant amount
 about the M8, both inside and out, ahead of the expected March 25 
launch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's no secret that HTC has found itself in a precarious position, amid falling revenues and <a href="http://androinar.blogspot.com/2014/02/samsung-galaxy-s5-release-date-price.html" target="_blank" title="Galaxy S5">tough competition</a>
 from the likes of Samsung. And fielding one of the best smartphones of 
2013 seems to have done little to counter that. At the dawn of a new 
smartphone generation, then, HTC needs the <i>new</i> HTC One to make a big impact.</div>
So what do we know about the phone so far? And what are we expecting to see on March 25? Let's take a look after the break.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Industrial design and colors</h4>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<blockquote class="pulloutright">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/medium/public/article_images/2014/03/HTC-One-2014-CM001_0.jpg?itok=3OOgY1ft" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="HTC One (M8)" border="0" class="image-medium" src="http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/medium/public/article_images/2014/03/HTC-One-2014-CM001_0.jpg?itok=3OOgY1ft" style="width: 250px;" /></a>Let's start out with a statement of the obvious — the new HTC One will largely look like an HTC One.
 After rebooting its design language once in 2012 and again in 2013, HTC
 has settled on this style for its high-end (and even some mid-range) products. So it wasn't too surprising when the first reliable images of the phone showed many similarities to last year's model, including a metal chassis and "BoomSound" front-facing speakers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But there are numerous intriguing differences. The plastic outer edge of the M7
 is gone, replaced with a wraparound metal design. The capacitive 
buttons have been retired, with a move to on-screen keys allowing the M8
 to hold a dedicated task-switching key. What's more, there are two rear
 cameras this time around, something we've not seen since the brief 
flurry of 3D smartphones in mid-2011. (That's HTC's "Duo Camera," which 
we'll talk about later.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Various leaked images of the top of the device show a black plastic 
strip up above, housing the phone's power button. (This time it's moved 
across to the right side, but it looks like that won't be the only way 
to power on the new HTC One, as we'll discuss in the software section.) </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So far we've seen the M8 in silver, dark gray, gold and — fleetingly — in blue. There've been suggestions that the device could arrive in red as well, though so far this color has remained elusive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Internal hardware</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rumors that HTC would step up to a five-inch screen for its 2014 
flagship have been circulating for months, but the most complete 
information on the rest of the M8's internals was revealed earlier this week through a leaked sales guide and corroborated by a shot of the Verizon M8's box on eBay.
 According to both, the new HTC One will pack a 5-inch 1080p panel, a 
2.3GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, 16GB/32 of storage (though a 64GB 
verion remains a possibility), backed up by microSD expandability up to 
128GB. There's also talk of "Ultrapixel" rear cameras, a 5MP front-facer
 and a nanoSIM slot, as well as a 2600mAh battery, stepping up slightly 
from the M7's 2300mAh.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
None of that is too surprising — though if it turns out the "base" M8
 model does indeed come with 16GB of storage, it'd be a surprising step 
down from the M7's 32 or 64GB. At least you'll have that SD card, we 
suppose, and the 16GB model won't be the only M8 available.<br />
There's still relatively little information available on the device's
 two rear cameras. Leaked specs point to a 1/3.0-inch sensor with 2µm 
pixels and a lens with f/2.0 aperture, which matches up with the old HTC
 One's camera on paper. It does sound like HTC has some novel uses for 
its dual-camera setup, though, which looks set to use the "HTC Duo 
Camera" branding. And we have to imagine HTC is using a different sensor
 this time around, after the M7's daylight performance was criticized 
last year.<br />
<h3>
Software features</h3>
Based on the leaked spec list (in addition to the couple of <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-m8-leakage-continues-new-photos-and-video" title="T-Mobile M8 leak">unauthorized</a> <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/see-12-minutes-new-htc-m8-leaked-video" title="HTC One hands-on with some kid">hands-on videos</a>
 that have emerged), the new HTC One appears to run Android 4.4.2 KitKat
 Sense 6, a new version of HTC's software. Unfortunately most of what 
we've seen of Sense 6 so far comes from renders, a handful of leaked 
photos and shaky YouTube videos. But from what we can tell it seems a 
little lighter and brighter than Sense 5, with renewed emphasis on vivid
 colors in apps like BlinkFeed and the Sense music player, as well as 
somewhat larger typography.<br />
Further details have been brought to light by the leaked sales guide 
and an ad from Australian carrier Telstra, both of which highlight key 
software features of the new HTC One.<br />
First up, that mysterious dual-camera setup. It's referred to in both leaks (and, more recently, an image of the Verizon M8's retail packaging) as "Duo Camera," and while it's unclear exactly how it works, we do know a little about what it does. From Telstra's ad:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Create vivid images even in low light and professionally edit memories 
after you've taken the shot. Choose where to focus, highlight what you 
love, soften backgrounds and add 3D effects.</blockquote>
<br />
<img alt="HTC M8" class="image-large aligncenter" height="360" src="http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/article_images/2014/03/HTC-One-2014-CM008_0.jpg?itok=V-0NNqpw" width="640" /><br />
<br />
That's echoed in the <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/more-new-htc-one-features-and-specs-leak-out" title="HTC sales guide leak">leaked sales guide</a>,
 which talks about "professional photo editing features," re-focusing 
after you've taken your shots and blurring backgrounds for DSLR-like 
effects. So it would appear that HTC, like Sony, Samsung and Nokia, has 
some kind of advanced focus controls built in. It'll be interesting to 
see whether the presence of two cameras allows HTC to enable this 
feature as standard for all photos, rather than requiring a special 
shooting mode. The mention of "3D effects" is also curious, though it'd 
be certainly easy enough to shoot 3D images on a dual-camera setup, even
 if that isn't the main purpose of the "Duo Camera."<br />
On top of that, you can bet favorite HTC One photo features like Zoes and video highlights will be onboard, too.<br />
Elsewhere, HTC looks set to implement touch-to-wake features in the new HTC One, similar to <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/knock-knock-how-turn-lg-g2-without-power-button" title="LG KnockOn">LG's Knock-On capability</a>. According to the leaked ad —<br />
<blockquote>
HTC Sense 6.0 simplifies you smartphone experience. 
Double tap the screen to turn on your phone, swipe to access your 
favorite apps, news and social media feeds.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="pulloutright">
'Motion Launch' lets you double-tap the M8 to wake it up.</blockquote>
The sales guide elaborates on this somewhat, referring to the feature
 as "Motion Launch." Apparently double-tapping on the screen wakes it up
 and displays the time, weather and notifications —  which sounds a lot 
like the standard Sense lock screen. And swiping the screen when it's 
asleep can also trigger certain apps to load, with the example of 
swiping right to access BlinkFeed mentioned in the sales guide. These 
new features should compensate for the M8's slightly weird power button 
placement, making it easy to switch on without having to reach up to the
 top-right corner.<br />
Finally, "Motion Launch" is also said to allow users to answer calls 
by placing the ringing phone to their head — a feature we've seen on 
some Samsung phones over the past year.<br />
<h3>
Accessories</h3>

Twitter leaker <i>@evleaks</i> has given us a look at a couple of M8 cases. The first appears to be a relatively run-of-the-mill hard shell
 case, but the second one is more intriguing. In what might be HTC's 
answer to Samsung's S View (and LG's QuickWindow), this unique dotted 
flip case allows the phone to display the time and weather through holes
 in the front while it's closed. It's unclear how this feature is 
activated — if it's always on, it'll be interesting to see how HTC is 
managing the power requirements, though it might simply be activated by 
the power button or some other method.<br />
<h3>
Availability</h3>
HTC will surely be targeting all major carriers for M8, just as it 
did the M7 last year. In the U.S., we've already seen leaks of the 
device on AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, and we're willing to bet 
Sprint and a few of the smaller operators will be getting it too. Over 
in the UK, one or two retailers already have pre-order pages up, with 
speculative pricing in the £550 range, for whatever that's worth.<br />
With the <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5" title="Galaxy S5">Galaxy S5</a>
 arriving in many countries on April 11, every day prior to that that 
HTC is able to have its new flagship on store shelves is vital. (Indeed,
 we've been hearing from sources for some time that HTC wants a very 
short window between announcement and general availability.) What's 
more, it's important that the crucial U.S. release of the device doesn't
 experience any delays of the kind that affected the M7 launch. At least it seems Verizon, the country's largest operator, is onboard from the get-go this time.<br />
So that's what we know so far about the new HTC One. For sure, the 
numerous leaks of this device have given us plenty of information to 
mull over as we await the March 25 launch events. But we wouldn't be 
surprised to see some surprises from HTC on the day, particularly in the
 areas of software and camera capabilities. Until then, keep watching 
Android Central in the next couple of weeks for full coverage of the new
 HTC One launch, as well as any further leaks that emerge.<br />
