  • Sony’s Run Continues, Announces High-End Xperia Z4 in Japan

    Sony’s Run Continues, Announces High-End Xperia Z4 in Japan

    Sony Corp is pushing hard to overcome the unfavorable circumstances and has launched a premium smartphone to signify its presence in the mobile business. Today has marked the debut of Sony’s latest flagship, the Xperia Z4, in the company’s home ground Japan. The smartphone boasts a aluminum frame and features an Omni-Balance design just like the other handsets in Xperia series.

    Weighing a mere 144g at 6.9mm thickness, the device holds a full HD screen of 5.2-inch with 1080p pixel density. The device runs on 64-bit 2GHz octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor bundled with 3G RAM and 32GB onboard storage capacity. The phone features a memory card slot that can hold a MicroSD card of 128GB. Software-wise, the Xperia Z4 runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop.

    A robust 20.7MP camera with Exmor RS sensor and BIONZ image processor sits at its back, while the front sports a 5.1MP snapper. The phone gets its juice from the 2930mAh battery, which is quite enough to keep the phone running for a day. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Micro-USB port along with LDAC, Sony’s new wireless technology to transmit audio wirelessly.

    The phone is water and dust resistant and has got IP6X (dust) and IPX5/IPX8 (water) certification. The phone will be out in Japan this summer in white, black, copper and aqua green color options. Meanwhile, there is no word about its price.

    Sony has sold one of the founding units of the company (personal computer segment) and according to top executives, it may exit from the mobile business too. One of the major reasons for Sony to find itself in the deteriorating state is the high price of its smartphones in the budget-sensitive market. The Japanese firm needs to follow the footsteps of Chinese and Indian smartphone firms to retrieve its lost esteem.

    The company, once neck and neck with Samsung and Apple, is now left behind in the smartphone race. It is battling with the price pressure by the recently established firms like Xiaomi and OnePlus. A while back, Sony announced to focus on camera sensors and video games instead of TV and smartphones. This may be its last attempt to restore the ailing mobile division.

  • 4 Important Announcements to Look Forward to This Week

    4 Important Announcements to Look Forward to This Week

    In the coming days, India will be enticed with the arrival of many new products by popular companies; namely, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Asus and Micromax. Some of the companies have attempted to keep things mysterious, but we’re fairly certain we’ll be seeing some heavy-hitting devices unveiled.

    Here’s everything you should expect to see this week:

    Xiaomi

    Last week Xiaomi announced a ‘Global Mi Phone Premiere’ which will take place in New Delhi on 23rd of April. The company had tweeted about the same and the image read as ‘I Is Coming’. It may well be possible that a new handset, likely the Mi5 or the Mi 4i, may be unveiled. But, we cannot be too sure of that. The conference will be addressed by Lei Jung, CEO and Co-Founder, Bin Lin, President and Co-Founder and Hugo Barra, Vice President of Xiaomi Global.

    OnePlus

    OnePlus teased a new product that will be unveiled on 20th of April. The poster reads ‘You’re Invited’ along with a tagline ‘From here on out, anything could happen.’ The new product is highly anticipated to be the OnePlus Two since last year, around the same time, OnePlus launched their flagship phone, the OnePlus One. Although, there is a catch. At the MWC 2015, OnePlus had teased a gaming console. Gaming device or the next flagship? We will find out soon enough.

    ASUS

    Asus first showcased the Zenfone 2 at the Consumers Electronic Show last year in Las Vegas. India will be receiving three variants of the handset. Powered by a 3,000 mAh battery and running on a 64-bit 2.3GHz Intel Atom processor Z3580 with PowerVR G6430 GPU, the Zenfone is packed for power and performance. More details of the device will be unraveled at the launch event that will take place on 23rd April.

  • Here is How You Can Test the LG G4 Before its Official Launch in India

    Here is How You Can Test the LG G4 Before its Official Launch in India

    A good news for LG enthusiasts, LG Electronics India will be selecting a handful of Indian consumers to test out the new LG G4 smartphone before its official launch on April 28th. This is being done as a part of the company’s consumer experience campaign in India.

    The individuals will be selected based on their entry responses. The chances of being selected will increase when application experiences are shared on different social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter. Once selected, a LG G4 handset will be given to the winning participant for 30 days, and they will be given a list of assignments to carry out during the testing period.

    [quote text_size=”small” author=”Mr. Amit Gujral” author_title=”Marketing Head, LG Mobiles India “]

    A smartphone doesn’t solve its purpose if it tops all the speed and benchmark tests but fails to satisfy the consumer needs. Realizing this, LG India is bringing this exciting and unique way to get our most important mobile product of the year, the LG G4, close to the consumers. I hope that the consumers like this offering by LG and participate in large numbers in this programme.

    [/quote]

     The Korean firm had slipped out details of their latest flagship in bits and pieces. From the teasers made official by the company, we can conclude the LG G4 will boast an all-new interface UX4.0 with a f/1.8 aperture camera. It is also been said that the phone will have an enhanced 5.5-inch Quad HD display and a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with either a 2GB or 4GB RAM.

  • Xiaomi Mi 4 Faces a Price Drop in India, Ahead of Tentative Mi 4i Launch

    Xiaomi Mi 4 Faces a Price Drop in India, Ahead of Tentative Mi 4i Launch

    The Mi 4 was one of the top-selling products by Xiaomi, and it is still taking a lead with its amazing specifications and reasonable pricing. The Chinese consumer electronics firm has given one more reason to its customers to pick the handset over the 2014 flagship killer OnePlus One. Xiaomi has slashed the price of its Mi 4 handset, making both the 64GB and 16GB variants cheaper by Rs. 2,000.

    The official Mi India website speaks about the refreshed price tag of the Mi 4:

    xiaomi mi 4

    The 64GB version will now cost Rs. 21,999 instead of Rs. 23,999, while the 16GB version can be purchased at a price of Rs. 17,999 down from Rs. 19,999. Users can buy it through Flipkart or The Mobile Store, whereas the recent online partners Snapdeal and Amazon will receive it soon. Xiaomi India Head Manu Jain notified about the same via Twitter:

    Unlike the Mi Fan Festival flash sale that offered the Mi 4 at discounted rates, this price cut by Xiaomi is permanent. Also, it should be worth noting that the announcement of the price cut came a week before the Global premier of a mysterious new smartphone. The upcoming smartphone is speculated to be a low-end version of the Mi 4.

    Meanwhile, we earlier surfaced the news that the company is working on a bigger sibling of Mi 4, the Mi 5.  The smartphone is said to mark the debut of the new interface MIUI 7. According to official AOKP blog, the new interface is codenamed MiKangy, and will be a whole new take on the Android UX, combining the salient features of top ROMs like CM, PA, Omni and AOKP.

    The Mi 5 is yet to go official. Till then, you can buy the Mi 4 through the links provided below:

     

  • Lenovo’s New A6000 Plus Might Arrive in India Soon

    Lenovo’s New A6000 Plus Might Arrive in India Soon

    The tussle to bring the best in the budget is getting stiff among Chinese smartphone producers. Lenovo recently enticed customers with the launch of the A6000. Now to keep ahead of its competitors, the Beijing-based firm has launched the successor of the previous iteration, Lenovo A6000 Plus.

    Lenovo hasn’t reworked on the device from scratch, this one comes with a few modifications missing in the former model. The Plus moniker houses an enhanced 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage space, which can be extended up to 32GB. While the previous iteration, the A6000 holds 1GB of RAM and 8GB of onboard storage.

    lenovo a6000 plus

    Other specifications of the device are untouched. The Plus moniker holds the same 5-inch display with 720p resolution. A 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor provides computing power to the device. The device runs on the KitKat version of Android OS.

    The dual-SIM phone holds a battery of 2300mAh, which is sufficient for a device of these specifications. An 8MP rear shooter with Autofocus and LED Flash, and a 2MP secondary camera sits on the phone to capture selfies. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, Micro-USB port and audio jack.

    The device will come in black, white, yellow and red colour options. The company has not decided its price, but it is speculated to cost a bit higher than the non-Plus variant; somewhere around Rs. 9,000. A final word about its price and availability will be given by the manufacturers soon. Although, according to India Today, the handsets should be arriving in India within the next few weeks.

  • OnePlus to Release OnePlus Two Along with a Cheaper Alternative By End 2015

    OnePlus to Release OnePlus Two Along with a Cheaper Alternative By End 2015

    The OnePlus Two can easily be considered as one of the most awaited devices of 2015. But it may not be the only new phone coming from OnePlus. A report published by Bloomberg suggests that the Chinese company may be working on a cheaper alternative as well.

    Bloomberg said the OnePlus Two is set to launch in the third quarter of 2015, adding that a friendly cheaper alternative is due to release at the same time. OnePlus has not yet confirmed the news.

    The OnePlus Two is expected to have almost the same features as the OnePlus One while adding an up-to-date processor, a 5.5-inch 2K display and a bigger battery. It is also rumoured that the new phone could also feature a high-tech biometric scanner. This could potentially increase the pricing of the device. Maybe, because of this, OnePlus might be working on a cheaper option along with it – catering to a wider audience.

    The report also states that OnePlus aims to sell between 3-5 million smartphones in 2015, and 10 million by the end of 2016. OnePlus also revealed that the company is now gearing up to enter a new product this month, which is neither a smartphone nor a tablet. We’ll have to wait and see what’s up ahead, and knowing OnePlus, our hopes are high.

The image speaks of nine different back panels, out of which three are standard, and six are crafted back panels made of real leather.

  • Xiaomi Might Launch a Low-End Version of Mi 4 at the Global Mi Phone Premier in India

    Xiaomi Might Launch a Low-End Version of Mi 4 at the Global Mi Phone Premier in India

    A couple of days back Xioami sent out media invites for the launch of their next smartphone. The company disclosed that it will be holding a global premier of the next Mi phone, and both fans and press were invited. The Chinese startup updated its official Mi India page with a teaser that reads “i IS COMING”, and it seems like we now have an idea what they meant by the “i”.

    According to the Chinese tech online daily GizmoChina, a new variant of Mi 4 has been spotted on the GeekBench3 website and Singapore IDA database. The device is possibly the low-end version of the company’s latest flagship, Mi 4. The reason it is considered to be launching on April 23, is its name. As per the source, the handset has been titled as “Xiaomi Mi 4i”, the last alphabet compelling us to consider it as the upcoming offering.

    xiaomi

    As the device is listed on the GeekBench3, we have some details of the handset. The Mi 4i will come with a 1.65GHz Qualcomm processor with 8 cores, along with 2GB of RAM and Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.

    Being a low-end version of Xiaomi Mi 4, the device is likely to be priced less than the Mi 4 (possibly around Rs. 16,000). As always, we expect Xiaomi to come up with something that gives a cut-through competition to the present offerings in the market.

  • Foxconn is Gearing Up to Begin Manufacturing the Apple iPhone in India

    Foxconn is Gearing Up to Begin Manufacturing the Apple iPhone in India

    Foxconn, one of the biggest contract manufacturing firms based in Taiwan, is most popular for being the manufacturer of Apple’s iPhone. The company is now planning to set up manufacturing the Apple iPhones at its units in India.

    It was reported by Economic Times that Foxconn will be manufacturing the Apple iPhone in India. The locations selected for setting up the manufacturing units include Gujarat, Noida, and a small trial unit in Andhra Pradesh. Foxconn had to previously suspend production at three units on the Chennai-Bengaluru highway due to the Microsoft-Nokia deal. The closure of those three plants resulted in the loss of hundreds of jobs; about 1,700 employees were affected.

    The new manufacturing units will mark the return of Foxconn in India. The company says that it wants to establish the units to take advantage of the present government’s ‘Make in India’ policy. The trial unit in Andhra will engage in research and development of new products.

    India is the third biggest mobile market in the world and is expected to take over the USA by 2017, which is just two years away. Considering this massive market, the government needs to incentivize production, as well as designing of products in the country to give a boost to Indian entrepreneurship in the field.

  • Xiaomi Announces ‘Global Mi Phone Premier’ to be Held in India

    Xiaomi Announces ‘Global Mi Phone Premier’ to be Held in India

    Unlike Apple, Xiaomi understands the potential the Indian market holds. In a first, Xiaomi announced it is all set to introduce its next smartphone to the world – by holding its premier in India. The Chinese startup has sent out invites for the premier of the global Mi Phone in India, which will be held in New Delhi on April 23. The company has updated its Mi India page with the launch information and also notified about the forthcoming product via its Twitter account –

    The media invite reveals that the premier event of the undisclosed smartphone will mark the presence of top managements of the company. Lei Jun (CEO & Founder), President & Co-Founder of the company Bin Lin, and Hugo Barra (VP Xiaomi Global) will be addressing the conference, where both the press and fans are cordially invited. Xiaomi fans can register for the premier on official Mi page here. The show will commence at 2pm.

    Xiaomi has proved its remarks that India is an important marketplace for the electronics giant. It’s the first time the firm has announced a global product premier in India. This clearly signifies that the forthcoming device is entirely new, and we are anticipating that it can be the Mi 5. Lately, it came to light through Android Open Kang Project (popularly known as AOKP) that Xiaomi is working on the successor of Mi 4, and it is titled Mi 5. According to the AOKP blog post, the Mi 5 will debut with a new user interface MIUI 7 based on Android Lollipop.

    However, things are uncertain, and we can only guess what it could be. For now, all the Mi fans need to underline the date and wait for the official unveiling of the next Mi Phone.

  • Samsung Confesses Galaxy S6 Edge to Face Supply Shortage

    Samsung Confesses Galaxy S6 Edge to Face Supply Shortage

    The most recent offering of Samsung, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, will be open from today for public across the globe. The South Korean smartphone behemoth expects record shipment of Galaxy S6 handsets, but it has to struggle to meet the demands of the curved screen smartphone. The news surfaced the day before when the company’s Mobile Chief J.K. Shin explained the problem in manufacturing Galaxy S6 Edge screens could lead to the limited supply of the curved edge version.

    The statement by Shin about the S6 Edge reads, “We’re working hard to resolve the difficulty in supply” and that the problem could persist “for a while.” This is clearly not a good message by the company at a time when the curvy S6 Edge is ready to retail in different markets across the globe. The company might have to face the frenzy of the audience for not accomplishing its promise on time.

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge side

    Samsung reported a record pre-order of 20 million Galaxy S6 series smartphones, out of which 15 million were for the standard Galaxy S6 and 5 million orders were placed for its edgier counterpart. The company might be facing a challenge to deliver the 5 million S6 Edge handsets that have already been pre-ordered.

    The revolutionary design of the smartphone gave an ‘edge’ to the device. There have been reports by various analysts that potential hiccups in supply could prove to be a roadblock to the success of Samsung.

    It would be interesting to observe how Samsung cope up with the manufacturing complexities. Meanwhile, you can watch our hands-on video below:
