  • YU Yutopia: Everything We Know So Far

    YU Yutopia: Everything We Know So Far

    With the launch of the YU Yutopia only a couple of hours away, here’s a quick round-up of everything we know about the device.

    There have been lots of rumours about the specs of Yutopia doing the rounds lately. Some of  the most interesting ones include the following:

    Camera:

    The smartphone is rumoured to arrive with a whopping 21 MP main camera. Of late, YU has been releasing images on the internet taken by Yutopia’s camera. We took a look at some of them and they seem pretty neat.

    The front camera would be marked at 8 MP.

    Battery:

    YU has released a number of teasers for its upcoming smartphone, and many of them take a jibe at OnePlus and Apple. YU took a dig at specifically the new iPhones in terms of battery claiming to outdo them with Yutopia’s 3,000 mAh battery. Let’s see if the company actually manages to fulfill its promise.Yunique 11

    Chipset:

    The YU Yutopia is expected to be powered by a 64 bit class Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset, backed by 4 GB of RAM. With an expected price close to 20K, this makes it the cheapest phone to be equipped with this chipset.

    Cyanogen:

    The tech world is rife with speculations of trouble in paradise between YU and Cyanogen, the open source operating system. Thought Kirt McMaster, the CTO of Cyanogen has explicitly denied any trouble between the two in the past couple of months, it still looks like it might just be the end of the road for them.Cyanogen 12

    Additionally, the launch tomorrow was initially supposed to happen on the 7th of this month, but it was delayed because YU has another product lined up to release with Yutopia. It could perhaps be an OS, a replacement of sorts for Cyanogen. Only time will tell.

    Yutopia could also include a 5.2 inch display and 32 GB of expandable internal memory. As the phone makes some big promises with regards to its high resolution camera, powerful battery, enhanced display and metal body, let us hope it’s not all just empty talk.

  • Xiaomi to Host a 3-Day Sale for the Diwali Season

    Xiaomi to Host a 3-Day Sale for the Diwali Season

    With the festive season just around the corner, and companies all over are offering all sorts of Diwali offers, Xiaomi too has taken to social media to tease a sale. The company put up Twitter updates on its Indian handle which read as follows:

    The hashtags and the numbers all hint at a Diwali sale between 3rd to 5th November. The sale could include discounts and attractive offers across e-commerce websites like Amazon and Flipkart as well as on mi.com itself. Discounts and free gifts were already available on Xiaomi devices, along with exchange offers, last month.

    The company has been hinting at sales and exciting offers for two days now. It is only natural for us to speculate about these social media updates. Diwali this year might indeed turn out to be brighter than always.

  • Facebook now trying to make another Smartphone

    Facebook now trying to make another Smartphone

    Facebook is back to building smartphones, and this time around its no ChaCha. According to the New York Times Bits blog, the company is hiring old Apple iPhone and iPad engineers and employees to develop phones exclusive to Facebook

    [quote]Mark is worried that if he doesn’t create a mobile phone in the near future that Facebook will simply become an app on other mobile platforms. – Said one of the Facebook employees[/quote]

    With Facebook’s IPO now out, this unique move may actually help the company gain some movement, when they seem to be slowing down.

  • Result : 32 % people would like a 4 inch Retina iPhone

    There are always many rumors when it comes to Apple devices, especially the iPhone. Recently we asked you guys if you would like the screen size of the iPhone to be different from the existing 3.5 inch which has started to seem puny in front of ever increasing competition.

    While only 12% argued that the screen size remains perfect, 17% said if the larger screen could be fit in the same size it would be impressive. 15% said that since its an iPhone 5 it should have a 5 inch screen, another 15 % aimed for the 4.3-4.9 inch bracket.

    A whopping 32% sided with the 4inch idea, where if Apple would increase the size of the screen to 4 inches and retain the Retina it would make a perfect device. 

    Well we won’t know till Apple holds the event this year ( if at all ) But, lets hope that they do get a larger iPhone out this year.

    Motorola prepping 2 Xoom Tablets the first Tablet Revision – Images Leaked

    Motorola was expected to re-launch a beefed up version of the Xoom Tablet (which failed to do well), especially since its epic takeover news first hit us. The new versions of the Tablet have been roaming around on the iter-webs for sometime. But now, folks from engadget have got their hands on some real interesting images that suggest that there are, not one but two Xoom Tablets all set to be released.

    The devices are presumably as thin as the iPhone 4 at just 9.3mm, the devices will come equipped to handle next-gen LTE networks. Android 3.2 and five-megapixel HD cameras on the rear.

    Apple May release an iPod Touch 3G, Data only

     

    Looks like Apple might bring a total of three new things to the Table this September. New iPhone 5, revised iPad 2 ( 3) and a totally new iPod 3g?. Yes you read it right, several sources including a dutch website claim that Apple will release a 3G iPod touch this year. Similar to the iPad , the iPod touch 3G will only be able to use the onboard radio for data connectivity and not to make phone calls. 

    But we know there is always a work around for that, right?

    So essentially a total of three totally revamped iOS devices are heading your way in September. We sure hope you start saving up!

    The iPhone 5 may have a curved Glass Front

    According to a report by DigiTimes, a rumor around the supply chain in Taiwan is that Apple is going to adopt a curved cover glass for the iPhone 5.

    Cover glass makers are reluctant to commit investment to the purchase of glass cutting equipment due to the high capital involved, said the sources. However, in order to push forward the production of curved glass, Apple reportedly has purchased 200-300 glass cutting machines to be used by glass makers, said the sources. The glass slicing machines are currently being stored at associated assembly plants and will be brought online once yield rates for the production of curved glass reaches a satisfactory level, the sources revealed.

  • Rumor : RIM is ready to bring BBM to iOS and Android

    Rumor : RIM is ready to bring BBM to iOS and Android


    As we reported earlier HERE . Several different sources are confirming that RIM may just be ready to bring the BBM goodness to the iOS and Android operating systems. It will come as a messaging only app and not the full featured messenger on the Blackberry itself, But, it gives an end to the long awaited interconnectivity b/w BB folks and Apple Lovers. The Android version should be out in the near future, or within this year atleast. The iOS version may depend on how Apple approval system looks at the whole interface in the first place.

    On both ends Pricing of the app remains unknown. So feel free to speculate on how much the app should be.

  • LG G-Slate may have a 8.9 inch 3D display – Will also capture 3D video

    LG G-Slate may have a 8.9 inch 3D display – Will also capture 3D video

    Its the year of the tablets and LG is prepping its own G-Slate. An LG France spokesman disclosed that the Tegra 2-based tablet’s 8.9-inch LCD will not only be accompanied by a glasses-free 3D display, but is also more than able to record 3D video. Having said that, it ought to be accompanied by an HDMI output, but it remains to be seen whether this is HDMI 1.4 and can output 3D to a connected TV.

    This means that the device will ship with dual back cameras for steroscopic 3d vision and a powerful processor. But, using a Tegra 2 would entail that the device use less of its power for resolution. Intrigued? We are!

    We are also waiting.

  • iOS 4.3 beta 2 released : iPad 2 to have a proximity sensor ?

    iOS 4.3 beta 2 released : iPad 2 to have a proximity sensor ?

    A the picture above shows, the iOS 4.3 Beta 2 was released. Folks digging around in the developer files found that the iPad 2 will have a proximity sensor which might lock and unlock the device when its put in , or removed (respectively) from the cover.

    This refuels the no home button rumors we heard about. Please Apple, don’t remove that home button.

    A slight sigh of relief is shown by the fact that apple claims that multitasking functions are a test and will not be available in the final build of iOS 4.3 . This would definitely mean that the Home button still exists. It does, it doesn’t , we wont know until it’s finally released.
