Google Nexus 5 Hits The Grey Market In India For Rs 41,000

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 08:28:00 +0000

Apart from Apple iPhones, the Google Nexus smartphones are some of the few handsets that get the grey market buzzing. And now, it's the Nexus 5 that's making noise.
Google announced the latest iteration of its Android smartphone a couple of weeks ago. Incidentally, the phone is also listed on the Google Play Store India and a few popular eCommerce sites here for preorder, for about Rs 29,000. But for those who cannot wait for a few more weeks for the stocks to reach the Indian shores via official channels, you can grab one right away from the grey market for a whopping Rs 41,000.

Now, not only is Rs 12,000 too hefty a premium for bragging rights, and that too for the 16 GB version of the Nexus 5, but if you think about it rationally, you can easily get better phones in India for that price, along with bill and warranty. LG G2 is one that comes to mind straight away, given that the Nexus 5 has also been manufactured by the same company.
So my advice to you would be to wait for a few more weeks to get the "pure" Android experience (as my colleague likes to put it) at a sensible price point, and with warranty of course.

IPHONE 5S FOR 54000 RS. AND 5C FOR 42000 RS.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 16 Oct 2013 02:56:00 +0000

It has been confirmed that Apple’s iPhone 5c and 5S are coming to India on 1 November, and that the devices will be sold by Airtel and RCom. The iPhone 5s will cost Rs 54,000 while the ‘cheaper’ iPhone 5c will cost Rs 42,000. Airtel has started pre-bookings for the latest iPhones, which saw record sales in the first three days of launch in the US market. “Interested customers can visit select Airtel Retail Store for pre-registration,” Airtel said in a statement on Monday. AP The iPhone 5c and 5s series, which was launched by Apple in September, has proved to be a massive hit in international markets, with 9 million iPhone 5s and 5c phones being sold in just three days. Subsequently the 5s, which is the more expensive model, turned out to be a better seller than the cheaper and more colourful iPhone 5c. (Although the latter does come in gold) The 1 November launch was known well ahead of time, and this marked the first time that Apple had actually announced a launch date for India. In fact, all indications are that the tech giant is starting to look at the Indian market a little more seriously than it has in the past. A report on Economic Times for instance, said Apple India’s senior executives recently met CEOs and senior executives from top electronic retail chains in India and “spelt out plans to enter the top 50 tier II and III markets in India by selling its phones, tablets and portable music players at their outlets in an exclusive corner or a shop-in-shop.” Apple’s distribution strategy in India has undergone a drastic change since it tied up with Reddington and Ingram Micro this year. As we have noted in a previous article, Apple’s new tie up ensured that the iPhone is now available in a store nearby, and not just with big retailers like Croma and Reliance (which is Apple’s official re-seller in India). In fact, it’s not hard to find smaller shops in Delhi, Mumbai stocking Apple products such as iPods, iPhones, iPads and even official Apple accessories. As far as India’s smartphone market is concerned, while it is one of the world’s fastest growing ones, it is also extremely price sensitive. The testimony to this is that low-budget smartphones makers Micromax, Karbonn are number two and three (Behind Samsung) on the list of top smartphone vendors in India. However as the pricing for Apple’s two latest devices in India shows, this does not mean that the company is willing to give up its ‘premium’ tag in India just yet, and is instead hoping to entice consumers to pay more for a premium product. The iPhone 5s has a 4-inch Retina Display. It is powered by A7 chipset – based on 64-bit PC architecture. There’s co-processor called M7 for motion sensing activities. The phone has an 8-mega pixel camera, dual LED flashlight, and a rear back camera that can record 720p HD movie in 120fps. The iPhone 5c has a plastic shell and has a bigger battery as compared to that of the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5c has a 4-inch Retina display, and is powered by Apple A6x chipset (dual core). There’s an 8MP rear facing camera along with a FaceTime HD camera. Both iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c support 4G LTE (TD-LTE).

Five noteworthy features of the Samsung Galaxy Note III

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 03:00:00 +0000

The next generation of the Samsung Galaxy Note series is finally out, we list some of the interesting features that makes the Note III unique in our books.

Samsung finally lifted the veil off its much-awaited Galaxy Note III and the device is all that we hoped it would be. The phablet is an upgrade to the Galaxy Note II and brings with it a few unique and interesting features. Here is a quick look at what you can expect the device to do for you, once you get your hands on it.

USB 3.0
The Samsung Galaxy Note III is the first device to boast of USB 3.0 capabilities and that is a big deal. To start with, USB 3.0 on the Note III will ensure faster data transfer speeds from your PC to the device (provided you have the USB 3.0 cable and a USB 3.0 port on your system). Another benefit of USB 3.0 is that you will be able to charge your device faster when it is connected to a PC or Mac. USB 3.0 is 80 percent faster than USB 2.0. There is a catch - to access the high-speed data transfer and charging, the Note III uses a USB 3.0 Micro B cable; the same found on quite a few USB 3.0 hard drives available in the market today. You do however have the option to connect the device via the traditional microUSB cable as well.

4K video in the palm of your hand
The Note III is the second device to boast of 4K video recording capabilities from the 13MP rear camera (the first device to support 4K video recoding is the Acer Liquid S2 smartphone). Sony has launched 4K capable TV’s in India and the upcoming PS4 also boasts of 4K support, so yes the device is future proof if you are one who like to shoot videos from your smartphone/phablet.

More power under the hood including 3GB RAM
Just like Samsung did with the S4, the Note III will be available with two chipset options in the market - Snapdragon 800 and the Exynos Octa-core SoC. If you pick up the Snapdragon 800 variant you will get a CPU clocked at 2.3GHz where as the Exynos Octa-core SoC has the CPU clocked at 1.9GHz. The RAM on both the variants will be 3GB, which is an upgrade from the 2GB found on the Note II. With a powerful processor and 3GB of RAM, you can expect to pull off some impressive multi-tasking on the smartphone, although we are reserving that judgment for when we get our hands on the Note III.

Bigger display, good for entertainment
If you are one who likes to consume multimedia on the go, then a large screen device is the one for you. The Note II has a 5.5-inch display with a 1280x760 pixel resolution. The Note III takes this a step further and shows off a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 1920x1080 pixel resolution giving the device a pixel density of 386 ppi, higher than the previous Note devices. The phablet also has stereo speakers if you are one who doesn’t like to plug-in headphones all the time.

Better build
If you are someone who refrained from picking up a Samsung device because you thought it was too plasticky in nature, you may want to take a look at the Galaxy Note III. Even though the front of the phablet has the traditional Samsung design, it is the back that has a leather finish giving it a premium feel. Samsung has also said that there will be a variety of back panel options for those that aren’t impressed with what’s available in the box.

Android KitKat COMING SOON

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 02:01:00 +0000

Google has surprised the tech world by announcing that the next version of Android, its mobile operating system, will be named KitKat -- in honor of the candy bar developers munched on while they were creating it.

"We couldn't imagine a better name for our Android K release than the tasty chocolate that's been a favorite among the team since the early days of Android," said Marc Vanlerberghe, Google's marketing director for Android.

The name keeps with a Google tradition, established in 2009, of naming versions of the industry-leading system after sweet treats. But it's the first time one of the nicknames has been a trademarked product and, as such, KitKat maker Nestle was needed to sign on.

The Swiss food and drink maker did -- and in a big way.

More than 50 million KitKat bars, specially branded with Google's green Android robot on their packaging, will be released, giving customers a chance to win prizes that include a Nexus 7 tablet and credits to the Google Play store. A small number of robot-shaped KitKats will also be shipped as surprises for customers.

The company also got in on the act with its KitKat website, which has been overhauled to look like the site of a tech company rolling out a sleek new piece of electronics. That includes an earnest promotional video that could easily be read as a swipe at Apple, Google's chief mobile rival.

"Every corner, every edge, every finger of every bar has been carefully considered and crafted to create a beautifully immersive and multisensory experience," Chris Caitlin, Kit Kat's "chief breaks officer" says earnestly over a swelling orchestral arrangement not unlike the ones Apple uses to build excitement for new products.

If there's any remaining doubt, the slogan "There's a KitKat for that" appears briefly on a tablet screen in the video.

John Lagerling, director of Android global partnerships, told the BBC that the Nestle deal is "not a money-changing-hands kind of deal," but was dreamed up by developers who kept KitKats, along with other snacks, in their break room while coding.

He said the Android team didn't even know which company owned KitKat and that he cold-called the switchboard of Nestle's advertising agency in November to float the idea. The next day he was on a conference call, and the deal was sealed 24 hours later.

To maintain the element of surprise -- an increasingly tough ask for big tech companies whose every move is scrutinized -- the Android team continued, even internally, calling the upcoming system "Key Lime Pie," which had been the presumed name for months.

Android has been developed by the company's engineers under dessert names ever since the release of Android Cupcake in 2009.

The other iterations have been named Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean.

Google is not the only tech company to name its products along a consistent theme. But Apple appears to have recently abandoned a similar practice with its Mac operating system -- OS X.

In a departure, Apple's next Mac operating system will not be named after a cat. Instead, the 10th iteration of OS X will be called Mavericks, named for a popular surfing spot in Northern California. Previous version names have included Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard, Tiger, Lion and Cheetah.

A joint statement from Google and Nestle did not give a release date for Android KitKat, although some observers expect it to be launched this fall.

How Google’s Moto X phone compares with S4, iPhone 5, HTC One

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 02 Aug 2013 16:32:00 +0000

Google’s Motorola Mobility has just released a new smartphone the Moto X. We take a look at how it stacks up against the top three smartphone that are there in the market right now which includes the Samsung Galaxy S4, Apple’s iPhone 5 and the HTC One.
Processor, Storage Space and RAM: Google’s Moto X smartphone does not come with a quad-core device and like the rumour mills had hinted, it comes with a Qualcomm 1.7GHz Dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. The Galaxy S4 on the other hand has an Exynos 5 Octa (eight core processor) which is combination a 1.6 GHz Quad + 1.2 GHz Quad processors.
The iPhone 5 has a 1.3GHz dual-core processor while the HTC One has Qualcomm 1.6GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor. As far as the competition is concerned, the Moto X processor while not a quad-core, is still clocked higher than the iPhone 5. Of course both Samsung and HTC One have quad-core processors. If a quad-core phone is what you want, the Moto X might be a disappointment.

The Motorola X smartphone. AP

The Moto X also comes with 2GB RAM like the S4 and the HTC One. Only the iPhone 5 has 1 GB RAM. The Moto X has 16 and 32 GB storage versions, while the S4 and iPhone have 16, 32, and 64 GB versions. The HTC One comes in 32 GB and 64 GB.
As far as the GPU is concerned Moto X, S4 and HTC one also have the Adreno 320 , the iPhone 5 has the PowerVR Series5XT SGX543MP3 (3-core) chip.
Screen size The Moto X has 4.7-inch AMOLED screen with 1280×720 pixels resolution which comes to 316 pixels per inch. The iPhone 5 has a 4-inch screen with 1136×640pixels resolution at 326 pixels per inch.
The Galaxy S4 has 5-inch, full-HD screen resolution at 1920×1080 with Super-AMOLED display and this comes to 441 pixels per inch. The HTC One has a 4.7-inch screen with full HD screen at 1920×1080 pixels which comes to 468 pixels per inch.
The Moto X Screen might not seem the best bet, but its still got a fairly high screen resolution.
Camera: The Moto X has a 10 megapixel rear camera and 2 megapixel front camera. The iPhone 5 has an eight megapixel rear camera with a 1.2 front camera. The S4 has a 13 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front camera. The HTC One comes with 4 megapixel rear camer (with Ultrapixels which means each pixel is much larger in size thanks to a bigger image sensor) with a 2 megapixel front camera.
In terms of a camera war, the S4 and the HTC One are way ahead of the Moto X but at least the phone comes with a 10 megapixel camera.
Battery The Moto X has a 2200 mAh battery which the company says offers up to 24 hours talk time with Mixed usage. The iPhone 5 has 1440 mAh which offers up to 8 hours talk time on 3G. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a 2600 mAh battery which the company says offers up to 17 hours talk time and upto Up to 8 hours usage time on 3G. The HTC One has a 2300 mAh battery which the company claims offers upto 18 hours talk time on 3G.
While in terms of a processor and the screen resolution, the Moto X might not seem to be in the league of the S4 or the HTC One, Motorola is offering some 18 different back covers ranging in colour from “spearmint” to “cabernet,” a choice of black or white fronts and seven different metallic accents for details like the volume button. There are over 252 possible style variations of the phone.
Will personalisation elements help Moto X beat the league of the octa-cores and the quad-core phones? That remains to be seen and of course the phones success will depend on whether and how soon Motorola brings the phone to other countries as the phone as only been launched in the US for now.

Jolla reveals first Sailfish OS-powered smartphone, due in 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 22 May 2013 02:37:00 +0000

Finland’s mobile startup Jolla has finally unveiled the long awaited smartphone, the first of its kind to run on the Sailfish OS.

An announcement was made on Monday by the Finnish makers that the smartphone will be available for pre-oder.

The phone still unnamed, will be available to pre-order for around €399 (roughly $513). However, Jolla co-founder Marc Dillion has revealed that the company will be offering freebies to customers who are willing to pay a little extra.

Freebies include a Jolla T-shirt which says "I am the first one" for which customers will have to pay an extra $51, for an additional $129, customers will get a $129 phone discount voucher and a limited-edition smartphone (incuding the Tee).

"To make this really great, we need your help," said Dillon, who urged developers to create Sailfish apps.

The company has been working on the smartphone since late 2011 and the OS based on the now defunct MeeGo OS. The OS is a merger of Intel and Nokia's Moblin and Maemo platforms. MeeGo was thrust forward by Intel after Nokia backed out to form a relationship with Microsoft and its Windows Phone OS. The shipping of N9 devices began late in 2011 by Intel, but soon it was given up.

The operating systems have cropped up to compete with the dominance of Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android operating systems that have become pervasive throughout the mobile market. While the trio of fledgling operating systems might not be able to eat away the entire share of the big two (or even BlackBerry OS and Windows Phone OS), but it would be interesting to see how they compete amongst themselves for the lower-end and mid-range devices.The mobile OS market is going to get a big boost soon, with three new rogue operating systems announcing their foray into this segment. We’ve got Firefox OS, Ubuntu Mobile OS (a.k.a. Ubuntu Touch) and Tizen OS.

Jolla has revealed some of the smartphone's specs. The phone will be powered by a dual-core processor. It has 16GB of onboard storage with an extra SD card slot. It will include an 8 megapixel camera and 4.5-inch Estrade display. Jolla, started by ex- Nokia employees, is 4G compatible which will depend on carrier support.

"I don't think that a year ago when we started any of us knew what was ahead. Wow, what an amazing journey it has been," Dillon said in a blog post. "We have the best team EVER working on Sailfish, we have the first fantastic devices and we have all that is needed to deliver and support them."

They also revealed that the device will come with a backplate that would allow customisation of the phone's user interface. "Attach the Other Half and your Jolla becomes alive and unique," the website said. "It becomes your other half, exactly as you want it to be."

Apart from expressing individual personality via colour schemes, the feature allows the phone's software to match the chosen colour and design. "Colors, fonts, tones, profiles, functions — all will adapt just as you wish by simply uniting the halves," the site said. There is no information about this particular function works, but Techcrunch believes it's done via NFC.

The OS is similar to the Windows Phone Live Tiles offering. Jolla signed it's first sales deal in the month of July with D.Phone, supposedly China's largest smartphone retail chain.

The phone is expected to reach a select few European countries once it starts rolling out, The Verge said; no announcement has been made regarding the official release date, however Jolla said "we target to ship by end of 2013."

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 08 May 2013 08:50:00 +0000

Information circulating the Internet suggests that Micromax is all set to launch the successor to the A116 Canvas HD. Christened the A120 Canvas HD Pro, the device is according to reports is expected to launch on June 30 and be priced around the Rs. 20,000 mark. The Micromax A120 Canvas HD Pro was spotted on Sulekha.com. As of writing this story, the price was not mentioned on the website.

The Micromax A120 Canvas HD Pro will have a 5.5-inch Full HD 1920x1080 pixel display, and will run on a Cortex A7 quad-core processor. The phablet will also house the PowerVR Series 5XT GPU and 2GB of RAM. Looking at the GPU pairing and Cortex A7 spec, we presume Micromax will once again be using the MediaTek MT6589 chipset. The rear of the A120 will have a 13MP camera and the front will have a 3.2MP camera for video calling. It will sport 8GB built-in storage expandable up to 64GB via a microSD card. The Canvas HD Pro supports dual-SIM capabilities as well. A 3,000mAh battery powers the device.

The Micromax A116 Canvas HD was the first budget quad-core 5-inch smartphone with a 720p HD display. It brought some great processing power and people who wanted to have a fulfilling Android experience on a budget device could do so with the Canvas HD. It started the trend of the budget quad-core smartphone in India, and since its launch, numerous other such devices have been released.

The Canvas HD Pro looks to take on the Samsung Galaxy Note II. The Note II boasts of a 5.5-inch display and is priced at Rs. 36,645. The device is a behemoth with its performance and the hefty price tag. With a Rs. 20,000 price tag and some impressive specifications under the hood, the Canvas HD Pro aims to become the affordable 5.5-inch phablet. Its success can only be determined once the device is launched.

Micromax A115 Canvas 3D launched for Rs. 9,999 with glasses-free 3D display

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 01 May 2013 12:25:00 +0000

Just like the Canvas HD and the A110, the Canvas 3D has a 5-inch display. The A115 also houses a 1GHz dual-core processor, and runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The rear has a 5MP camera and the front has a 0.3MP camera for video calling. A 2000mAh battery powers the smartphone and Micromax claims that the device will last for up to 4.5 hours of talk time. The smartphone also supports Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and expandable storage up to 32GB via a microSD card. The RAM and built in storage isn’t known.

Being a 3D smartphone, Micromax claims that users won’t need to wear 3D glasses to consume content on the smartphone. Users will have access to “Micromax 3D Space” giving them access to 3D videos and 3D games.

This isn’t the first time that we have seen a 3D smartphone. We have had the LG Optimus 3D and the HTC Evo 3D hit store shelves in India. The two smartphones were premium priced and boasted of glasses free 3D displays and dual rear cameras for clicking 3D images. Both the smartphones failed to catch any market attention. We have also seen some budget smartphones take a shot at 3D displays but all in vain.

How the 3D display of the Canvas 3D performs is something we will comment on once we have our hands on the smartphone. Up till now there is only one device that has given us an accurate picture of depth perception without the use of 3D glasses and that is the Nintendo 3DS. The hand held gaming console is the closest we have come to having a great glasses free 3D experience. On other devices, especially the previously launched 3D smartphones, the experience has been mostly gimmicky.

Micromax has been on roll launching budget devices in India and making a name for it self. Recently, Micromax claimed that it has sold over 1 million Canvas devices. But all hasn’t been well for the budget smartphone king. Recently Ericsson sued Micromax for infringing patents pertaining to 2G and 3G wireless technologies.

The Canvas HD, Canvas A116 and the Canvas Viva A72 have been successful budget smartphones in their respective price brackets. Will this winning streak continue with the Canvas 3D, or will the smartphone crash and burn? Stay tuned, as we will bring you the complete showdown when we get our hands on the Micromax A115 Canvas 3D.

Samsung Galaxy S4 A REVIEW

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:09:00 +0000

oon after the global launch, the Galaxy S4 arrives in India. The high-end Android smartphone market is now spoilt for choice - the HTC One or the Samsung Galaxy S4? Observations from the quick tryst with the S4 indicate it is worth its price.

This is the good thing about Samsung. They have realized that the Indian market does not like waiting long for flagship phones after their global launch. This is what gives the Korean company the advantage over most rivals, who also seem to be understanding this and have upped their game as well. Getting back to the point though...

Samsung has launched the Galaxy S4 in India, not long after its global launch, and the launch of its main rival - the HTC One. Globally, there are two processor versions powering the Galaxy S4 – Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core 1.9GHz processor and Samsung’s own Exynos 5 Octa 5410 with the combination of a 1.6GHz quad-core chip and a 1.2GHz quad core chip.

India gets the Exynos 5 Octa processor version, with the Snapdragon currently exclusive to LTE markets. The phone has 2GB of RAM, and while there are 16GB / 32GB / 64GB versions available globally, India only gets the 16GB version for the time being. Samsung refuses to say if the other versions, if at all, will be launched in India.

At the launch event, we had a chance to use the Galaxy S4 for a while. Here are our initial observations:

- The love for plastic continues. You may give it any fancy name you want, but the fact of the matter is, it is still plastic. While the Galaxy S4 isn’t shabby or cheap by any stretch of the imagination, the likes of the HTC One have raised the bar even further. For the consumer, that may be enough to bring in a feeling of “this isn’t enough”.

- Two colour options are available – black and white. The white has an enamel finish, while the black has a less shiny personality. Both look good, without being flashy.

- There is no doubt that the Galaxy S4 is very light. On the spec sheet, it is three grams lighter than the predecessor, but in the real world, that makes a lot of positive difference.

- One thing is certain – the S4 has a slightly slippery finish if you are not careful. Single hand operation is a bit of a stretch, but manageable in certain aspects. You can, for example, scroll a web page, but cannot type an SMS with the same hand holding the phone.

- The dimensions are largely the same as the Galaxy S III; the Galaxy S4 packs in a bigger display, and then sheds a bit of thickness and weight. The reason why things have been kept in control dimension-wise is because of the even thinner bezel on the left and the right side of the display.

- Speaking of the display, the 5-inch display is the same Super AMOLED variety as the predecessor, but slightly bigger. Resolution has been bumped up as well to full HD.

- More about the S4's display: good points first – bright, minimal reflective tendencies and natively very crisp. Text readability is very comfortable, and colours make media viewing a delight – all it all makes this phone worth the money. But, equally, some people will not appreciate that certain colours seem a tad unnatural and pop out unnaturally, particularly the reds and equivalent shades. But that is a compromise, if at all, that you have to resign to for the rest of the positives of this screen.

- Despite the slightly bigger size and the bumped up resolution, Samsung says that the Galaxy S4’s display consumes 14% less battery than that of the Galaxy S III.

- TouchWiz UI, Samsung’s overlay over the Android OS, has been tweaked as well. Primarily, you will notice the enhanced quick settings from the notification bar – giving access to the major settings from the home screen itself.

- Features like Air View, originally seen on the Note II with the S-Pen, have now made its way into the S4, with the finger doing the work of the S-Pen! This is something that will be very useful when shuffling through dozens of emails or messages. Also works in the gallery and during video playback, on the timeline.

- Air Gestures let you use the phone, navigate through certain apps, without having to actually touch the display. At the moment, the web browser and the gallery are a couple of compatible examples with this feature, but will gather more importance and acceptance when more apps are compatible with this.

- This is a feature rich phone, something that will give us some stress when we write the review! Expect detailed usage experience details of the features, with AllShare, S Beam, Story Album and Knox being some of them.

- Samsung has packed in a 13MP camera into the Galaxy S4, with the true Samsung tradition of packing in a list of features that you can rattle on endlessly! But, we will reserve all judgment on the performance and image quality till the time we test this snapper in detail.

We will put the phone through a detailed test when we get the review unit in the not too distant future. In the meantime, you can check out some more pictures of the Samsung Galaxy S4 below.
