NOKIA X ,X+ & XL ANNOUNCED AT MWC
Just as we had expected, Nokia unveiled the Nokia X, which is its first device to run on Android OS. But it was not the only smartphone unveiled and the Finnish company in fact announced its second and third Android smartphones called the Nokia X+ and the Nokia XL. The Nokia X is available immediately, in countries including India, for 89 Euros, while the Nokia X+ and the Nokia XL will be available in the second quarter of this year for 99 Euros and 109 Euros respectively.
Talking of the specifications, the Nokia X sports a 4-inch WVGA (800×480 pixels) display and is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor paired with 512MB of RAM. Other features include 4GB of storage with microSD support, 5-megapixel camera and a 1,500mAh battery.
The Nokia X+ has similar specs, albeit with more internal storage.
The Nokia XL, on the other hand, flaunts a bigger display – 5-inch WVGA (800×480 pixels) display — and gets better cameras– 5-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
These devices all have dual-SIM capabilities and on the software front, run on an AOSP version of Android, which doesn’t have the Google Play Store. Instead, Nokia is offering its own Android store, which has as a combination of its own and Microsoft’s apps. Users will also get access to third-party app stores like Yandex, as well as the ability to sideload other apps.
As an introductory offer, Microsoft is offering buyers one month free calls Skype, and 1GB of OneDrive storage.
BLACKBERRY Z3 AND Q20 UNVEILED AT MWC
As expected, BlackBerry took the wraps off its first Foxconn-built smartphones at MWC in Barcelona. The Z3 is a full touch affordable smartphone, while the Q20 takes the company back to its roots with a QWERTY keypad along with a trackpad. These devices will hit select markets around the globe in April.
Talking of specifications, the Z3 sports a 5-inch qHD (960×540 pixels) display and is powered by a Snapdragon 400 dual-core processor paired with 1.5GB of RAM. Other features include a 5-megapixel rear camera, 1.1-megapixel front camera, 8GB of internal storage and FM Radio.
The Q20, as mentioned above, sports a keypad along with a trackpad. The device flaunts a 3.5-inch, which also happens to be BlackBerry’s biggest display on QWERTY device. It also has hardware keys for Menu, Back, Send and End alongside the trackpad. On the software front, the phone has all the BlackBerry 10 features such as BlackBerry Hub, enterprise connectivity with BES10.
The Canadian company hasn’t revealed any further details on either of the phones.

GALAXY S5 IS NOW OFFICIAL
We have all been waiting for the announcement of Galaxy S5 smartphone from Samsung,and now finally its official. The device looks little slimmer and larger than the previous model Galaxy S4, it is also worth noting that the company has incorporated the awkward looking micro USB 3 port in the device just like the Galaxy Note 3
SIZE COMPARISON OF THE GALAXY S5
The design of the phone is completely revamped although the front looks like any other Galaxy Smartphone. The rear panel of the phone has a texture with dots on it. Another thing worth noting is that the Galaxy S5 has a slightly bigger home button compared to other Galaxy devices, well that may be due to the built-in finger print scanner that’s embedded in the home button.
The bottom of the phone has the Multi-tasking button, Home button and the back key. Only the home button is physical one and rest 2 are capacitive touch buttons
Samsung Galaxy S5 at a glance:
- Form factor: Water-resistant bar phone, IP67 certification
- General: 2G, 3G and 4G LTE connectivity
- Dimensions: 142 x 72.5 x 8.1mm, 145 g
- Display: 5.1" 16M-color Super AMOLED HD capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (431ppi)
- Chipset: Snapdragon 800 MSM8974-AC
- CPU: 2.5GHz Krait 400
- GPU: Adreno 330
- RAM: 2GB
- OS: Android 4.4.2 (KitKat)
- Memory: 16/32GB storage, microSD card slot
- Still camera: 16 megapixel auto-focus camera
- Video camera: UHD (2160p) video recording
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 3.0 with MHL, GPS receiver with A-GPS and GLONASS, 3.5mm audio jack, NFC, Infrared port
- Battery: 2800mAh
- Heart rate monitor
- Fingerprint scanner
- Additional sensors: humidity sensor, temperature sensor
The screen grew up only a bit and it kept the 1080p resolution rather than going to QHD.
The camera does, however, record UHD video - Samsung's initial information was for 1080p, but we can now confirm it's really 4K UHD (2160p).
Samsung does maintain the clockspeed advantage with a rare Snapdragon 800 chipset and while the fingerprint scanner was no surprise, the heart rate monitor certainly is.
TouchWiz was a bit of a surprise too. We got pumped up for a brand new flat version of Samsung's custom UI.
The back of the device is a new iteration of Samsung's leather-like plastic, with what looks like perforated holes. It only looks like it though, the Galaxy S5 is IP67 certified

INTEL'S DUAL OS PLATFORM
Intel at the on going CES in Las Vegas announced their new technology.The company calls it dual OS Platform.The newest innovation from the semi-conductor company allows you to run two of the most popular operating systems, Android and Windows, on a single device.
With Intel’s newest technology on board, you can easily switch from Android to Windows OS almost instantly by just pushing a button. We already saw Intel’s announcement in action as ASUS showed it up on its latest Transformer Book Duet.
AMD’s Bluestacks also has a similar functionality in which you can run Android applications on a Windows machine. So both the major chip vendors have the same idea in their head.So it is assured that we can see more manufactures coming up with Android-Windows dual booting devices in the upcoming year.
ASUS ANNOUNCED TRANSFORMER BOOK DUET WHICH CAN RUN ANDROID & WINDOWS 8.1
Asus has unveiled a new line of Ultrabook devices that can run both Android and Windows. Whats more impressing is that the device can switch between them instantly, it just take 4 seconds to switch.
This wonderful device is powered by 4th-generation Intel processors, the Transformer Book Duet has the standard folding form factor of ultrabooks, but also features the removable 13.3-inch screen that Asus is famous for.
The 13.3-inch screen can either have 1366×768 pixels or FullHD resolution, It is a bit thicker than most tablets at more than 12mm. The Duet will come with a selection of Core i3/i5 and i7 processors and 4GB of RAM. The tablet part will have either 64GB or 128GB of storage, while the dock can be configured to have between 320GB and 1TB HDD.
With the dock attached, the Duet comes in a bit heavier than most ultrabooks at over 1.85 kg, but keep in mind that most Android tablets do not come running a full version of Windows 8.1. The Duet allows for quick switching between the two via a dedicated button, which lets you toggle instances of Windows 8.1 and Android 4.1 in about 4 seconds.
The expected price of the Transformer Book Duet is $599.

WHY DOES IT TAKES SO LONG TO GET UPDATES IN ANDROID
I am sure most of the Android Users out there must had this thought in their mind once or twice.Looking at Apple's side the updates are coming up fast and this annoys them more.Well i am not a comparison between the two OS that would be silly.This update process isnt easy as we think,infact its a very complicated process.? HTC recently posted a great infographic that looks to answer that very question, and the graphic can be seen below in its entirety.The stuffs given below are very complicated but this gives us an idea about the update process and how complicated the process is.
IPHONE 6 WITH 5" 1080P DISPLAY RUMOURED TO LAUNCH NEXT YEAR
Apple’s new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c aren’t even two months old and we have already seen a half-dozen iPhone 6 rumors pop up since their debut. The latest news comes from a Japanese magazine called Mac Fan, which recently issued a report that was picked up on Tuesday by Macotakara. Recent reports suggested that Apple is still toying with a number of different display sizes for its next-generation flagship iPhone, but Mac Fan claims that the iPhone 6′s display is a done deal — the new iPhone will apparently feature a full HD 1080p Retina display that measures 5 inches diagonally. The report also says that Apple’s next-generation iPhone will launch sometime in September 2014, which would certainly make sense considering the company’s recent launch pattern.
NEW DETAILS ON UPCOMING IPHONE 6
A new report from South Korean publication ET News says the iPhone 6, which it calls “iPhone Air,” will be just 6 millimeters thick when it is unveiled later this year, making the handset significantly thinner than its predecessors. Comparatively, the iPhone 5sand iPhone 5 have a 7.6 millimeter profile while the iPhone 5c is thicker, at 8.97 millimeters. The publication says the news comes from Chinese media, but it certainly can’t be verified at this point. The iPhone 6 will still be made of metal, although it will be a bit heavier than previous models, the same source says.
The design of the iPhone 6 will reportedly be based on the iPhone 5s, although the upcoming iOS handset is said to be bigger than the 2013 flagship model. The phone is expected to be unveiled and launched at some point in September.
Recent reports have suggested that this year Apple is going to launch iPhones with bigger displays than the 4-inch screen found in current models. The company is rumored to consider 4.7- to 5.7-inch displays for future generation devices, although that’s also a report that can’t be confirmed at this time.
Interestingly, the same etnews says that the price of the iPhone 5s will go down to $100 at some point in May, presumably in the U.S., for on-contract purchases. Only a few days ago, Best Buy dropped the price of the on-contract iPhone 5s down to $125.

iPHONE 6 TO COME IN TWO SIZES
Foxconn, the folks responsible for the production of Apple's iPhone, have oftentimes been the source of leaks either through actual employees or infiltrators.
According to information coming out of China's Weibo platform, several Foxconn insiders have revealed that production of the new iPhone 6 will be split between two models, one with a 4.7" screen, and a 5.7-incher. There are even hints at the display possibly even crossing the 5.7-inch mark.
It's speculated too that all variants will have at least one form of biometrics, which could include fingerprint or eye recognition.
Granted, the alleged release date is at least 8-9 months away (if Apple continue to follow their Q3 release cycle), meaning that a rumor of such distance turning out accurate is a rather long shot.
Given general market trends, however, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that Apple would finally embrace the larger screen tendency that's become prevalent in smartphones in 2013. Last years' introduction of the colorfully plastic iPhone 5C proves that Apple isn't afraid to get out of its comfort zone, and moving into the phablet range would be another step in that direction.
