LG AKA - Cute, Adorable but Weird

In the race of powerful smartphones, LG came up with a weird phones with built-in cartoonish personalities. The new range is available in four models – Eggy, Wooky, Soul and YoYo. 
Eggy is the yellow creature, which falls in love easily. Wooky, the white model, likes slang and is “cute”. YoYo, the only female of the family, loves hamburgers and drinking cokes. Soul is a dark navy blue character is fond of music. The phones come changeable sleeve covers, embedded with a microchip, to switch moods/characters. Which leave the top quarter of the display uncovered. That’s where you’ll see those googly eyes show up, giving your phone a bit of personality even when it’s idle. Of course, that space also shows incoming notifications, so it serves a real purpose as well. 
When it comes to hardware, the AKA is decidedly less impressive, sporting a 5-inch HD IPS display, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, a removable 2,610mAh battery, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB of storage with microSD support and NFC. It runs Android 4.4 KitKat with a heavy dose of LG software on top. 
For now AKA is limited to South Korea, where you can buy one for 500,000 won (roughly `28,042). Any information about its international availability is not yet known. For the time being see the bizarre promotional video below.

Goodbye Nokia, Hello Microsoft - Microsoft Lumia 535 Launched

Finally it’s the time to say goodbye to Nokia as today Microsoft unveiled the first Lumia device with Microsoft branding aka Microsoft Lumia 535. 
Microsoft’s Lumia 535 isn’t all that different from the Nokia devices that have come before it, but it’s the first to drop the Nokia branding in favour of Microsoft text at the rear and front, and a company logo on the colourful removable shell. All future Lumia devices will launch with Microsoft branding, and existing Lumia’s with the Nokia moniker will continue to be known as Nokia handsets. 
Microsoft Lumia 535 has been designed as an alternative of Nokia Lumia 530. It comes with a 5-inch qHD display (960 x 540), a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, and 1GB of RAM. While the screen is something you’d normally see back in 2011, viewing angles aren’t as bad as you’d expect even if the pixels are clearly visible. 
Lumia 535 comes in two flavours: 3G Single SIM, or 3G Smart Dual SIM, both loaded with Windows Phone 8.1 and the Lumia Denim Update right out of the box. That means you’ll get a hugely personal experience with features including one-swipe Action Centre, Word Flow, Live Folders and Cortana (where available). 
Lumia 535 is inherently coloured and available in cyan, bright green, bright orange, white, dark grey, and black. It will be available from November at an estimated RRP of 110 EUR before taxes and subsidies with sales starting in China, Hong Kong and Bangladesh, with other countries to follow. There's no information on the India pricing and release of the phone.

Droid Turbo - A Powerhouse smartphone by Motorola

Motorola was already ruling the smartphones market with the best line up from affordable Moto G to customizable Moto X and not to forget the giant Nexus 6 plus a sexy smartwatch, Moto 360. To add to this line up, Motorola launched the latest Droid phone, Droid Turbo with Verizon for $199.99 on contract for a 32GB model or $249.99 on contract for a 64GB version.

The DROID Turbo runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat instead of the brand new Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system, but you’ll find a Snapdragon 805 processor clocked at 2.7GHz under the hood, 3GB of RAM, 32GB or 64GB of storage, a 5.3-inch display with a 2560 x 1440-pixel resolution (565ppi), a huge 3,900mAh battery that promises up to 48 hours of battery life, support for Cat. 4 LTE, a 21-megapixel camera capable of recording 4K video, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac dual-band Wi-Fi support and more. Basically, it can be considered as a scaled down model of Nexus 6. 
It will be available in metallic black, metallic red, or what Verizon calls a "ballistic" black, which has an even more textured back. 
Verizon has a few deals for the DROID Turbo in place. It’s offering $100 toward the price if you trade-in a working smartphone, and is waiving activation and upgrade fees for the device.  Additionally, Verizon Edge customers who upgraded before July 1 can pick up the DROID Turbo with the same Verizon Edge pricing as new customers. 
As far as global availability is considered, Droid Turbo might be launched as is evident from the invites for a November 5 eventRumours are for a name change to Moto Maxx, resurrecting the Maxx brand, which is associated with some of the most long-lasting batteries in the smartphone history.

Vertu For Bently collection introduced for a price of $17,100


Happiness cannot be bought. But it’s not always true. Gift your wife a ‘Vertu for Bently’ smartphone and you would become the husband of year. Back in July, Vertu announced of entering into a close working relationship with Bently to develop a series of smartphones that feature the design, craftsmanship and elegance found in the British automaker’s lineup. Well, the first of the new ‘Vertu for Bentley’ series of smartphones has been revealed, and it certainly lives up to the phone company’s promise. 
Like Bentley’s cars, the phone features quilted calf leather that’s finished in Bentley’s signature Newmarket Tan hue and is stitched with a diamond pattern. The phone’s titanium case also features diamond knurling, and when you remove the back plate you’ll find the engraved signature of the Vertu employee that made it. A Bentley logo also sits on the face of each phone. 
For Bentley, products like the Vertu for Bentley phone means its customers will be able to experience the brand’s qualities, such as the touch of supple leather and fine craftsmanship, while outside the car. For Vertu, the phone is likely to prove popular with the growing number of Bentley customers all over the world. The good news is that you don’t have to be a Bentley owner to purchase one, although you’ll probably need a Bentley owner’s income to afford one at $17,100 a pop. 
The operating system is your run-of-the-mill Android 4.4 (KitKat) but there are some special features such as the exclusive Vertu Concierge, Vertu Life and Vertu Certainty apps that offer a number of lifestyle services. There are also a number of Bentley-themed exclusives though no details have been mentioned. 
Production of this first Vertu for Bentley phone will be limited to 2,000 units. It will be followed by a further four phones, each encompassing authentic and iconic Bentley design elements and exclusive lifestyle services.

Nexus 6, Nexus 9, Nexus Player and Android Lollipop unveiled

Finally after a lot of anticipation Google unveiled the new Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and a new device Nexus Player all running the latest version of Android which is Android 5.0 Lollipop. 
Android 5.0 Lollipop with the new Material Design is the biggest change in Android since the time it started. Lollipop is made for a world where moving throughout the day means interacting with a bunch of different screens—from phones and tablets to TVs. With more devices connecting together, your expectation is that things just work. With Lollipop, it’s easier than ever to pick up where you left off, so the songs, photos, apps, and even recent searches from one of your Android devices can be immediately enjoyed across all the other ones.  
Nexus 6 is the company's new flagship made by Motorola sporting a 5,96" display with a camera capable of shooting 4K videos at the rate of 30fps. This new phone has a contoured aluminum frame.The large screen is complemented by dual front-facing stereo speakers that deliver high-fidelity sound, making it as great for movies and gaming as it is for doing work. It also comes with a Turbo Charger, so you can get up to six hours of use with only 15 minutes of charge. 
Next up is the new Nexus 9, a 8.9" tablet which is suiting everybody's need for a professional as well as entertainment purpose. As rumored it is made by an all new manufacturer HTC returning to the market of tablets once again. A keyboard folio that magnetically attaches to the Nexus 9, folds into two different angles and rests securely on your lap like a laptop. 
And finally there is Nexus Player. The first device running Android TV. It's also a first-of-its-kind Android gaming device. With Nexus Player you can play Android games on your HDTV with a gamepad, then keep playing on your phone while you're on the road. Nexus Player is Google Cast Ready so you can cast your favorite entertainment from almost any Chromebook or Android or iOS phone or tablet to your TV. 
Nexus 9 and Nexus Player will be available for pre-order starting 17th October and Nexus 6 will be available later this month. Stay tuned for further updates.

A treat for Selfie Lovers - HTC Launched a 13MP selfie camera HTC Desire Eye

HTC launched a new smartphone yesterday keeping in mind the requirements of selfie lovers. HTC’s new Desire Eye has an unbeatable 13MP with dual-LED flash front-camera making it the best selfie smartphone till date.
HTC Industrial Design VP, Jonah Becker introducing Desire Eye
The Desire EYE offers an incredible design while also adding some unique features that you otherwise might expected in a flagship smartphone. HTC said that the Desire EYE will be targeted at several market segments, including teens who are consistently streaming video from their front-facing cameras, to reporters who rely on high-quality photos out in the field, remote health access in situations where an ill person might video chat with a doctor and more. 
Desire Eye is powered by a Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.3GHz, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage expandable via microSD card, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and a 2,400mAh battery. The screen is a 5.2-inch 1080p display and have HTC’s signature BoomSound speakers. The device itself comes in two colours, coral reef (white with orangish red trim) and blue lagoon (dark blue with light blue trim). 
The Desire Eye will be the first device to offer a new bundle of camera tricks called the Eye Experience, which will become available on a large number of HTC devices soon. Most of the new features listed are neither ground-breaking nor essential, but can help you get a little more creative with your shots. One of the coolest features is a clever new face-tracking technique for video conference calls that can find up to four faces and display each of them on their very own frame. 
The HTC Desire EYE is expected as early as November in the U.S., where it will be sold as an exclusive on AT&T at first, and HTC will also sell it in other markets around the world.

2nd Gen Moto X pricing announced, available for Rs. 31,999 on Flipkart

After launching the their most popular smartphone Moto G (2nd Gen), Motorola India just announced the price of their latest flagship Moto X(2nd Gen). Moto X (2nd Gen) will cost starting from `31,999 and will be available to order from Flipkart starting today midnight. 
Flipkart launched their latest flagship Moto X (2nd Gen) on 5th September at an event held in Chicago and New Delhi. The new version of Moto X had a lot of improvements at which its predecessor failed. 
First a look at its specifications. 
  • CPU: 2.5Ghz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 
  • GPU: Adreno 330 
  • RAM: 2GB 
  • Storage: 16GB (no microSD card support) 
  • Display: 5.2” 1080p Full HD 
  • Camera: 13MP rear and 2MP front 
  • Connectivity: 3G, LTE, NFC, GPS 
  • Battery: 2300mAh 
Previous version of Moto X was in no way bad but people wanted more from a flagship device. A bigger screen, a better camera were some of the few things required. But this new Moto X is no way going to dis-hearten them. It boasts a full HD 5.2 inch display which is even bigger than the HTC One M8 but the build of the phone is such that it’s smaller in size. 
Surprisingly even after such a big change in the specifications the price of the smartphone is not changed that much. Previous version Moto X cost 23,999 and the new Moto X is of 31,999. So it is a steal at that price. It will be available for pre-order starting today midnight on Flipkart so be ready.
