Shatterproof Motorola X Force Now Available for Rs. 34999

The Moto X-Force which has a shatter shield display is now available for Rs 34999 after a massive discount of Rs. 15000 has been applied to it. The X-Force which initially launched for Rs. 49999 received huge flack for the pricing and it looks like the company wants to make this device more affordable for the consumer.

The display on the X-Force is really the key for the handset, made up of multiple layers of clear polycarbonate the display doesn’t really shatter.

Apple is Working on an All Glass AMOLED iPhone

Apple may be working on an iPhone that may shed metal from the front and rear giving it a unique rounded glass design. A single piece of glass that goes from front to back held in place with liquid metal sides.

This may be this year’s redesign or a variant of the iPhone which may launch in 2017 as perhaps the iPhone Pro. Apple has previously used glass front and back on the iPhone 4 and 4s.

The new iPhone will also have an AMOLED display which will allow the iPhone to become lighter and thinner, which in turn will also allow Apple to utilize the Apple Watch type 3D touch technique.

According to industry reports, Apple has already placed a $2.59 billion order to Samsung which is to supply 100 million 5.5-inch OLED displays starting 2017.

Which makes the iPhone 7 launching this year a non-AMOLED display based device, leaving a lot of Apple fans disappointed. Most leaks of the iPhone 7 have shown of similar iPhone 6/6s style designs with aluminum backs. With Apple revamping the iPhone lineup in 2017, the 2016 winter may not belong to the Cupertino fruit company.

But, as with all launches, we won’t know till we know.

This Super Thin LED Based Screen Gives Your Skin a Display

In the near future wearable tech, not watches and glasses, but the tech that you wear right on your skin may become something that we take for granted. However, we might be headed in that direction sooner than expected. University of Tokyo researchers have developed an optoelectronic skin whose polymer LEDs and organic photodetectors are thin enough to directly slap onto your skin. This 3 Micrometer thin display at the moment doesn’t do much more than tell your blood oxygen concentration levels.

This 3 Micrometer thin display at the moment doesn’t do much more than tell your blood oxygen concentration levels. The current prototype is a little rough and requires a lot of refinement, however it the display can be crumpled and stretches without affecting output result and may make for a great first step in finding a true wearable display skin in the near future.

Thin-film electronics intimately laminated onto the skin imperceptibly equip the human body with electronic components for health-monitoring and information technologies. When electronic devices are worn, the mechanical flexibility and/or stretchability of thin-film devices helps to minimize the stress and discomfort associated with wear because of their conformability and softness. For industrial applications, it is important to fabricate wearable devices using processing methods that maximize throughput and minimize cost. We demonstrate ultraflexible and conformable three-color, highly efficient polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) and organic photodetectors (OPDs) to realize optoelectronic skins (oe-skins) that introduce multiple electronic functionalities such as sensing and displays on the surface of human skin. The total thickness of the devices, including the substrate and encapsulation layer, is only 3 ?m, which is one order of magnitude thinner than the epidermal layer of human skin. By integrating green and red PLEDs with OPDs, we fabricate an ultraflexible reflective pulse oximeter. The device unobtrusively measures the oxygen concentration of blood when laminated on a finger. On-skin seven-segment digital displays and color indicators can visualize data directly on the body.

Hands On LG K7 and K10 LTE

LG has just launched the K7 LTE and K10 LTE variants in India, for Rs. 9500 and Rs. 13500 respectively. For the specs available on these handsets, they cost a lot more than most of the competition.

The K7 features a 5.0 inch 480 x 854 pixel IPS display, Qualcomm MSM8909 Snapdragon 210 chipset with Quadcore 1.1 GHz along with 8GB Storage and 1.5 GB RAM. The phone has a 8 MP primary Camera that shoots 720p video and a 5 MP front camera.

The build of the phone is exciting and feels premium, the display is shabby for the price, offering roughly 191 ppi. The back panel adds a lot of grip, and the overall form factor fits well in the hands.

The K10, on the other hand has an entirely different back panel which looks and feels a whole lot better than the one on the K7. Specs wise a 5.2 inch 1280 x 720 px display, Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 with Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53, Adreno 306 GPU. The Phone will come with 16 GB Storage and 1.5 GB RAM. The K10 on the back has a bigger sensor with 13 MP, f/2.2 and autofocus while the front gets a 8 MP camera both offering a maximum of 1080p video.

While both these phones feature a 2.5D arc screen which curves out to the edge, only the K10 comes with an included cover offers Galaxy S7 type Edge notifications, with the use of the cover.

LG’s plans seem unsure with the K series and with such high pricing, we are not sure if people will even look to buy these handsets, thanks to mighty competition of the LeEco and Xiaomi variety.

Nextbit Robin Coming to India this Month

Nextbit Robin made its debut last year for being a new concept phone which makes onboard stoareg a non issue, With the cloud integrated into Android OS, onboard storage is merged with the cloud.

The San Fransisco based tech company is launching its Smartphone in the evergrowing market of India this month. The phone features a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) display on a plastic body. It is powered by Qualcomm’s hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of onboard storage and 100 GB cloud storage space. Other features of the Nextbit Robin include a 2680mAh battery, a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.

The phone received raving reviews in the US, although early adopters complained about the experience. The dependence on high speed data may become an issue in India. So let’s see how the company will translate the US $ 400 price tag into the Indian currency, and if this phone crosses the Rs. 25000 price mark it may not make a lot of sense to the consumer.

Canvas 6 Pro

The launch was more to talk about the Company’s plans and a newly revamped identity, which adds a cleaner look to the logo and changes the tagline, from the grammatically incorrect “Nothing Like Anything” to a more youthful “Nuts.Guts.Glory”. Equally strange if you ask us.

The company also announced that it is rebranding the “Around YU” service and calling it “Around” and it will be available across the Micromax Portfolio of devices.

Micromax also launched some laptab notebooks and new televisions at the launch.

Stay tuned for more
