  • Elephone Creates The Smallest Smartphone Run On Android KitKat

    Elephone Creates The Smallest Smartphone Run On Android KitKat

    For those of us who are wary and uncomfortable with the new large smartphones, there’s a new small smartphone called, Elephone. This device is 2 inches small and runs on a custom version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat.

    Elephone1

    This smartphone can be used as an accessory to your larger smartphone, when you don’t feel like taking out your massive smartphone to listen to music etc. The camera however is said to be unsatisfactory because it is slow and displays pictures in a pixelated form.

    Elephone 2

    This phone has not been officially named yet and is said to be available in markets later this year at $80, which is around Rs.5,303. Apart from this, Elephone is allegedly making a number of smartphones within China. So, maybe this is going to be the next Chinese brand to enter India.

    Elephone 3

    However, the usefulness of this small smartphone is debatable. For example,One could lose this phone quite easily and it’s not that savvy looking either. So do you think smartphone companies are wasting their money trying to make older phones like the flip, slide and now a small phone? Or do you think it will work?

  • Leak: Samsung Might Use Snapdragon 820 For Its Upcoming Galaxy S7

    Leak: Samsung Might Use Snapdragon 820 For Its Upcoming Galaxy S7

    Reports suggest that Samsung is already working on its next device – the Galaxy S7. A leak from Korea says that this new device might come with a Snapdragon 820 chipset.

    Note 5

    Samsung has previously created its own processor due to the heating troubles of the Snapdragon 810. So, most of its devices, like the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5, are powered by the Exynos processor and have been successful till now. Let’s see whether the change in the processor will improve the quality of their devices.

  • Here’s a New Fuel Battery That Can Make Your iPhone Last a Week

    Here’s a New Fuel Battery That Can Make Your iPhone Last a Week

    New reports suggest that a British company called Intelligent Energy, has cracked the fuel cell miniaturization code,so that now, it can even fit in a hydrogen battery into an iPhone 6, without disturbing it’s original rechargeable battery inside. The hydrogen battery is said to have the ability to keep the iPhone 6 going up to an entire week without having to charge it.

    iPhone 6 Plus 17

    The only inconvenience that has been spotted, is the fact that there will be some water vapour emitted through vents at the back. Intelligent Energy has not yet confirmed the pricing of the device but as of now, the prototype iPhone 6 with the weeklong fuel cell battery is recharged via an adapted audio jack socket.

  • Another Major Chinese Smartphone Manufacturer to Enter India

    Another Major Chinese Smartphone Manufacturer to Enter India

    Meet ZOPO, a new Chinese smartphone company, that is planning to launch a phone called ZOPO Speed 7 in India on the 26th of August 2015. They have currently partnered with Advantage Computers India Pvt. Ltd. (ADCOM) to be their Indian distributor. The ZOPO Speed 7 will be sold online through an exclusive retailer and also through offline stores in India.

    Zopo India 1

    The phone is said to come with a 5 inch display and 1080 X 1920 pixels resolution along with a full HD view. It is powered by a 1.5GHz Octa-Core 64-bit MediaTek MT6753 processor with Mali-T720 GPU and a 3GB RAM. It has 16GB of internal memory which is expandable up to 64GB with the help of a microSD slot.

    It is also run by the Android 5.1 (Lollipop) and connectivity features include a dual-SIM, 4G LTE / 3G HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. The ZOPO 7 Speed comes with a 13.2MP rear camera with LED Flash and a 5MP front camera.

    Zopo 2

    The dimensions of this phone are 146.1×70.6 x8.65mm and weight – 150g. The phone comes with a battery life of up to 2500mAh. It also comes in two colours – Black and White. You can buy the phone on Snapdeal from the 26th of August 2015, at Rs. 12,999.

    However, the import of so many Chinese smartphones into India – Meizu, Xiaomi, OnePlus etc, providing high end services at lower rates, is really increasing the competition between Indian companies to step it up. We saw Micromax’s move of starting the Yu Yureka line up of devices to compete with the Chinese companies.

    So should we allow the Chinese companies to export their products to India, or should we empower our own companies by boycotting the Chinese devices? Or should the Indian companies just stop whining and step it up? Feel free to leave your comments below.

    Sales had dropped by 4 percent making it the first year-over-year fall said Gartner Inc, a market research company.

    “China has reached saturation — its phone market is essentially driven by replacement, with fewer first-time buyers,” said Anshul Gupta, research director at Gartner.

    They also said that the worldwide smartphones sales grew at the slowest pace since 2013, with China accounting for 30 percent of the total smartphones sales during this second quarter.

    However, Apple’s smartphone sales rose to 14.6 percent from 12.2 percent, a year earlier. In fact, the iPhone sale in China rose by 68 percent to 11.9 million units. These numbers are attributed to Apple’s iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Samsung is also said to have suffered a fall to 21.9 percent from 26.2 percent, despite the introduction of the S6 models.

    iPhone 6 Plus 0

    Huawei on the other hand, reported the highest sales growth rate at 46.3 percent due to strong international sales and 4G smartphone sales in China. So, let’s hope that China’s smartphones that have taken India by storm, positively impact China too.
