Xolo A500 Club with dual speakers priced at Rs 7,249 in India;A 5-inch Xolo Q1010 spotted online
Xolo A500 Club is official image
Two new Xolo smartphones are here. The company’s A500 Club priced at Rs 7,249 will be available in the coming days, but no exact release date has been given. On the other hand, the Xolo Q1010 has beenlisted at an online retailer(in flipcart) but there’s no inkling of its price or availability.
The Xolo A500 Club smartphone is a dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) smartphone with support for dual standby. The device is fitted with dual speakers on the front. It runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out-of-the-box, but there’s no word on whether the phone will see any updates. The design of the phone is unlike anything we have seen from Xolo in the recent past and there are large grille cutouts on the front, which make it look like a more angular HTC One. It’s a budget smartphone and the specs are on expected lines. It features a 4-inch IPS display with a WVGA (480×800 pixel) resolution. There’s a dual-core MediaTek MTK 6572 processor under the hood, with the cores clocked at 1.3GHz, along with a Mali-400 MP for graphics and 512MB of RAM.
On the back is a 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, while there is a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera. The Xolo A500 Club comes with a 4GB in-built storage, and can be expanded up to 32GB via microSD card. It brings support for Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, Micro-USB, AGPS and 3G connectivity. The battery is a 1400mAh unit, which according to the company delivers up to 15 hours of talk time and up to 466 hours of standby time.
The Q1010 has a distinctive design
The Xolo Q1010, on the other hand, is clearly the more high-end phone and has a larger, more high resolution display. Some specs are the same of course, such as the dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) configuration, the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS and the 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6582 processor. The straight lines of the phone add to the minimalist feel, that’s offset by the chrome accent near the camera lens. It’s a decent looking phone, based on the one picture we can see, and again Xolo has tried to do something different than churning out plain-looking plastic phones.
The Q1010, is a minor upgrade over the Q1000 and has a 5-inch (720×1280 pixels) IPS display, along with 1GB of RAM. The Q1010 has 4GB of inbuilt storage, which is further expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. It sports an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and BSI sensor, while there is a secondary 2-megapixel front-facing camera. The phablet packs a large 2250mAh battery, which according to the Flipkart listing, delivers up to 19 hours of talk time and up to 732 hours of standby time on 2G.
Canvas Power with 4000mAh battery launched for Rs 9,990: Is this the next Micromax blockbuster?
5-inch Canvas power with quad-core processor and 4,000mAh battery
Micromax has launched a new sub-Rs 10,000 smartphone in its Canvas series dubbed Power and we have a feeling this one will sell like hot cakes. The Canvas Power A96 is now available on the company’s official store for Rs 9,990, but it’s not just the price which is appealing.
The biggest USP of the phone is that it has a 4,000 mAh battery, something we’ve recently also seen in the Xolo Q3000. The battery promises up to up to 5.5 hours of talktime and up to 450 hours of standby time and we reckon it will easily last through the day, especially considering the other specs.
In what is fast becoming the standard for most Indian-branded smartphones these days, the Canvas Power gets a 5-inch TFT display but with a lowly 480×854 pixels of resolution. Under the hood, it is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6582M processor with 512MB of RAM. Both these aspects should help in keeping power consumption to a minimum. The Canvas Power comes with dual-SIM slots (GSM+GSM) and ships with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS.
The device packs in 4GB of onboard storage that can be expanded further up to 32GB via a microSD card. On the camera front, the Canvas Power comes fitted with a 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash. The official site doesn’t mention a front-facing camera, though one can be seen on the phone’s image there. The connectivity options include 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth, so there’s no NFC. The Power will come preloaded with apps such as Kingsoft Office, Hike, Opera Mini and M! Live, in addition to BlackBerry Messenger. Currently available online through the Micromax store, the company promises to deliver the device in 7 to 10 business days.

Samsung Galaxy gearis an attractive,entry into the suddenly white-hot smartphone and wearable technology market,but it only represents a fresh beginning in the never-ending quest to marry consumer interests with wearable technology.In future we all have technology and digital information very close.The tech products like Google glasses and Galaxy gear will promise this to happen in future. Samsung finally revealed its much-anticipated smartwatch atIFA 2013.Finally samsung releases the Galaxy gear by samsung India CEO JK shin. brandished the new smart watch during on unpacked event on September 4. This newest element is coming from the makers of Galaxy note 3 and this smart watch allows the user to take videos,photos and you can make calls with it and also you can answer to calls.

Samsung has been rumored to be working on a flexible-screen device for many of months,but it is not true i thik.
but if the Galaxy Gear will arrive before 2014, it won’t be packing one of these bendy marvels.The vice president of Samsung's company confirmed the Gear wouldn’t boast such a feature, but added that one of its successors may be.
There’s no official word on the Galaxy Gear’s specifications, but there are a few rumors about the specifications.Some of leaked set of rumors are arrived like follows.Some of leaked specifications are:
Gear may have a 1.67-inch display with a 300X300 pixel resolution,
A 1.5GHz dual-core processor,
2-megapixel camera,
1GB of RAM.
Both Bluetooth and NFC were also included.
The screenshots leaked in February had a 500 x 500 pixel resolution
There’s a chance the screen may turn out to be sharper than indicated here.
Comparison With Sony:
the sixth-generation iPod Nano has a 1.54-inch screen and a 240 x 240 pixel resolution, while the new Sony SmartWatch 2 has a 220 x 176 pixel, 1.6-inch display.
SamMobile’s report isn’t the only one we have to go. An anonymous sourced cited by GigaOm recently chimed in that the Gear will have a 2.5-inch OLED screen with a 320 x 320 pixel resolution, and will be powered by Samsung’s dual-core Exynos chip.
An accelerometer could activate the screen when you move your wrist up to your face, and many other sensors could allow it to compete with fitness trackers like the Nike FuelBand, as well as integrate with Samsung’s own S Health app.
A pair of screenshots said to be from the Gear’s accompanying smartphone app have been leaked, showing the watch should connect to your phone using NFC and Bluetooth, and that once it’s there various apps will be run on it. The Gear Manager screen shows a Samsung Apps icon with a watch-like clock face, suggesting it will have its own app store.
You can capture the wonderful moments like never before
The new nokia lumina 1020 takes the photos ,videos of the your's moments of life never like before with a
41 megapixel sensor camera
Amazing high resolution optical zoom
With a high preview technology
And optical image stabilizaion
A close look about the Bandit
Zoom was Reinvented
Nokia Pro Cam on the Nokia Lumia 1020 lets you shoot in super high resolution with 41 megapixel sensor camera.It gives a really amazing experience, which means you can zoom in close to your shot after you’ve taken it. Then rotate, reframe, crop and share new images as many times as you want with your favorite social networking site. A smartphone never like other.
The Nokia Lumia 1020, powered by Windows Phone 8, and
comes with MS Office and all the unique Lumia features like Nokia Music and free voice-guided navigation. Add on a wireless charging cover to power up without plugging in.You can charge this mobile by using the wireless charger.It is perfect phone for the people who love photography very much.
Storage Space
Like before versions of Lumina there is no way to add Micro SD cards to any Lumina mobiles.In this Lumina you will have 27 GB of free space of memory with no apps installed in mobile.In those3 GB lost to formatting, 2 GB lost to the OS.When you add number of apps, music, and videos into the mix, that free space in mobile gets even smaller. To avoid this, AT&T is offering a free upgrade to their 50GB of cloud storage through AT&T locker (it is limited time offer ), and as always SkyDrive offers 7GB of free cloud storage. Even with those two free cloud storage options I long for expandable memory. If I could, I would throw in a 64 GB Micro SD and carry around tons of music and videos on my mobile. Cloud storage, is not the answer to phone storage in my opinion...
Battery Life
It has a large 2000 mAh battery and lasts an entire day using it for email, web browsing, the occasional game and of course picture taking.It uses xenon flashes so he battery life is smaller than the old Nokia Lumina 900(it has nno xenon flashes).

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Nokia Lumina 1020
The differences between two top mobile brands in the world market.
As far as announcements go, Motorola really made a revolution in the technology world, having created their Moto X smartphone and announced it quietly, with nothing but a Twitter feed to keep us informed of the progress. Nevertheless, the anticipatedMoto X is finally here, and opinions regarding it are diverse.
Even so, the device has some access up its sleeve but also comes with a few drawbacks. The specifications are almost on par with premium smartphones of the moment and the smartphone comes with a very broad range of custom colors, that are currently limited only to AT&T. The device doesn’t blow minds away, as its features have been seen in other DROID models, but the Moto X has all those customization options going for it, which some might say isn’t enough. Needless to say, it’s still a great device.
There are 18 back colors, 7 accent colors, 2 front colors (black or white), 16GB or 32GB of memory for file storage, 16 wallpapers, 2 cases in a variety of colors, 2 charger colors (black or white), and a bunch of Sol Republic headphones to boot. You can also write a custom message on the back of the phone and another that will appear under the Motorola Logo every time you boot it up.
Here are the technical specifications of the Moto X, the first smartphone made entirely under Google’s supervision
Processor: 1.7 GHz dual-core Krait CPU Snapdragon S4 Pro
GPU: Quad Core Adreno 320
2 Custom Motorola Processors: One for language interpretation that can help Google Now work better and with less power drain and one for contextual computing that will govern over the device’s sensors
Memory: 2GB RAM
Storage: 16GB / 32GB AT&T version, no microSD card
Display: 4.7-inch 720p AMOLED with 316 ppi, Magic Glass: new kind of Corning display
Battery: 2,200mAh, removable
Rear Camera: 10 MP Clear Pixel capable of shooting 1080p video
Front Camera: 2MP capable of shooting 1080p video
Connectivity: Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0, Wireless 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, GLONASS, NFC, Miracast Wireless Display, standard 3.5mm Audio Jack
Customization Options of MotoX
Moto X is a highly customizable device, this is due to the 18 available back covers, wooden backplate which will be available later on, black or white front cover, different colored side buttons and camera ring and on top of it all, users can engrave their Moto X with any text on the backplate, via AT&T’s Moto Maker website. This is really a drawback for all of those residing outside of the United States and for those that are not AT&T Subscribers.
These are a lot of options for a single device, and it might make the Moto X quite popular. While we can’t say how users will react to these options, it’s good to see that smartphone manufacturers are turning an eye towards smartphone customization and not just raw power.
Price And Avilability
The device will go for $199 for the 16GB version on a 2-year contract from AT&T, and users who will want some extra storage and go for the 32GB version, will have to put down $249. We still don’t know the retail prices of the device, but no way the smartphone is going to be under the five hundred dollar pricing and it seems that it won’t be sold throught the Play Store, after all.
Customers will be able to purchase the Moto X at the end of August. Other carriers like Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular and Verizon will also have the 16GB Moto X available, but with no additional colors, just the black and white flavors. Let’s hope that Google will also bring the Moto X to Europe and other parts of the world.
Update: AT&T has confirmed that the retail prices of the Moto X will be $575 and $630, for the 16 GB and the 32 one version, respectively. Also, it seems that the Moto X will be sold after all in the Play Store, with a pricing similar to the one mention by AT&T, of course.
Ready.
Even when you’re not.
Moto X responds to your voice, no touching necessary.
Moto Maker gives you a taste for what it’s like to have complete control over your phone’s look, but stops short of giving it to you. This is, I was told, by design. John Renaldi explained to me a few weeks ago that the interface was designed to avoid the “Paradox of Choice,” which is a book about how, if you give people too many choices to make, they end up being less happy. This is why there aren’t a ton of options right now. Earlier test versions of Moto Maker had tons of choices, but users didn’t like it. “By curating these colors, we saw that anxiety go away, and we saw them actually click around more and try out different combinations,” explained Renaldi. Well, sure but … what if I don’t want a pet Slimer for a phone?
' He’s right about the clicking around thing, though. The interface, much like NikeID’s vaunted online customization tool, it’s so simple and easy-to-use that I found myself whiling away minutes I was supposed to be working, constructing any number of silly color combinations. It’s just that every phone I created looked like it belonged at a rave or that laser tag arena from HIMYM. Apparently, I break the Paradox of Choice because I wanted more choice. Then again, NikeID crushes it, and if the endless parade of early MySpace-era color configurations that I see on the feet of New York City’s Nike customers is any indication, Motorola has settled on the coolest color palette around. Renaldi backs that up. He told me that all of the colors were extensively tested and picked based on the feedback of real people trying out Moto Maker while being monitored by eye-tracking software. “We had a huge palette of colors. We loaded them up, showing anywhere from 7 to 30 colors [to testers] and then we measured the ones that resonated best across gender groups and target market profiles and demographics. So we settled on the 18 colors that had the biggest impact for us.” So, in the spirit of remaining hip and engaging with the youth, I tried out every color combination I could. Nothing was off the table. At one point I had a Rasberry phone with yellow highlights. I tried Barney colors, Spider-Man colors, U of M colors, everything and anything to find a combination that screamed “Jeff.” Sadly, the combinations I kept coming back to were safe, familiar. I was admiring a phone that was white on front and black on the back (with a kevlar texture) with blue accents when it occurred to me: If Digital Trends had a phone, that’s what it would look like. But how could I give in and order such a phone? There are 15 black and white phones on my desk. When given the freedom to break out of my monochromatic confines, is the best I can muster a simple blue accent? It bugged me.
Motorola executives warned me this would happen, too. In their research, they found that women tended to veer toward crazy, fun colors but men tended to choose safe, more neutral colors, with a nice accent. But why? Does my phone really have to follow the rules of a suit and tie?
At least part of the problem is the role our phones play in our day-to-day lives. Though I could buy a bright shirt, I rarely have to wear it, but the thought of having too crazy a phone scared me, mostly because a phone seems like such a permanent purchase. This is a device that will, in a way, define a small part of me every time I use it for two years. People will see me reading on it, texting on it, pressing it to my face and talking on it … and they will be judging me. What? Like you don’t?
But the other problem is the paradox of the Paradox of Choice. By limiting my options, Motorola was supposed to save me from my own anxiety, but it seemed the opposite was happening. I was this close to finding the perfect phone somewhere in the pile of 2,000 choices, but somehow kept missing by a shade here or a hue there.
At this point, it’s only fair to acknowledge how much of a production nightmare Motorola gave itself with its Moto Maker innovation. Every time tMotorola team wants to add a new color, it has to figure out how to produce that color back or accent and integrate it into the assembly line in Ft. Worth. It had to completely rework the entire way a cell phone factory operates to offer the number of customized phones it does, and deliver them in four days. It’s one of the coolest computing innovations since companies like Dell began letting regular folks custom design their PCs in the 90s
Maybe Renaldi was just using “The Paradox of Choice” to throw me off the scent while Motorola dials in such a challenging production process. After all, the company has already tipped its hand about more colors, textures, and materials – like wood, for example – that will be introduced in the months following launch.
Motorola deserves huge credit for introducing the idea of customization to a category that’s never had it before. If the Moto X doesn’t sell you with how comfortable it is to hold, its impressive specs, and it’s unique Google Now innovations, the Moto Maker options may well be the thing that convinces you to switch phones.
In the end, I compromised. I refused to conform to Renaldi’s research that insisted I would go with the bland black phone, so I was forced settle on the Spearmint green I’d talked myself out of four hours earlier. I went with white for the phone front, and a light blue for the button and camera ring color. I chose a green bowling ball wallpaper and I told the phone to tell me “Heya Jeffrey!” every time I turn it on. You can put a message on the back, but “If found, please contact Jeff at …” wound up being too long so I left it blank.
I guess you’ll have to tell me. My Moto X will arrive in 5 days.
