Oneplus Wave To Hit Indian Shores

Oneplus , the chinese startup which received an overwhelming response with the announcement of its First Smartphone  One  is on its way to India.





The Smartphone is known for its high end specs and the bang for buck it offers.India was not among the 15 countries the gadget was initially introduced but still techno-geeks in our country managed to get their hands on the One through scalpers and cross country shipping.Oneplus responded to this immediately and promised to open sales in the country pretty soon.

The moment has finally arrived.Oneplus had earlier stated that Oneplus One will be rolled out  in India through region specific invites,but surprisingly e-retail Giant,Amazon,has started teasing the phone on its website.We are sceptical on this , but having  teaser arrived we wouldn't have to wait for weeks to know what's behind the screen.

Nokia Is Back , As a Lollipop Kid

Yes , you heard it right.This might be the of era smartphones , but still there are more than a dozen of people out there who hold one of  Nokia's Great Grandfathers like the 1100 in their hands and keep challenging their tech-savvy friends for a battery drain battle.

The Giant might have sold its smartphone business to the Windows company but that simply doesn't put an end to a company that was once the synonym for Mobile phone, when the gadget still remained a novelty.

Remember , the Finnish Giant still retains it's Consumer Electronics business and is planning to strike a comeback pretty soon.The company has actually surprised us by introducing  an Android Powered tablet that would mark its comeback.

Nokia has announced the launch of Nokia N1 tablet . The tablet has a 7.9" display with an whooping  2048*1536 resolution.The Gorilla Glass 3 ensures that it is no easy game to get its tooth bleed.A 64-bit Intel Atom processor is at your command and the 2Gb Ram would ensure you a sweet  lollipop experience.You have 32Gb of on-board memory at your disposal.

Now , at last here comes the X factor , the Price ? We feel that Nokia has finally nailed it at least in this factor . It just costs around $250 and have in mind , that the only alternate tablet available in the market sporting a 64-bit processor and the lollipop sweetness is the Nexus 9 and it's price starts at $400.

The Tablet is expected to go on sale from early January , and we wish this Gadget would help Nokia demarcate a boundary for itself.Who wouldn't wish, it's NOKIA afterall!

Google Turns Single,Yet Again!


Yes , Google has Signed-off its sibling Motorola to the Chinese giant,Lenovo and the purchase is officially completed today.Lenovo had earlier announced its acquisition of Motorola and has been making the necessary arrangements since then.

The Mountain View Company,Google, had earlier acquired motorola for a whooping $12.5 billion in the year 2012 .Motorola's released its top-tier smartphone , Moto X , in the year 2013 under Google's convoy.The new sibling might not have staked in money blocks for its big brother , but it was a milestone in terms of software innovation.Its Signature features with the likes of active display and voice control have seduced various smartphones manufacturers of late to turn back and draw in some inspirations.


The Budget Contenders, Moto G and Moto E , needs no explanations.We all know the turbulence they brought in the contesting segment post their introduction,but everything has to come to an end that's the same with this acquisition too.Yet , we are still impressed by the way Google threw a final farewell for Motorola by building its Flagship Phone Nexus 6 under its branding.

So From now on Lenovo would continue to be the Foster Parent of Motorola , and the company has already promised that it is going to retain the Moto and Droid lineup as there always has been a positive response for those both . Lets Wish Motorola to have a bright future ahead.

Nexus Tv,Big Smart


It has always  been once in a while , we have wished to witness the charm of Android take over the Big Screen at home . It is a well known fact that Google knows you even better than yourself  and this time too the Mountain View Giant has brought something Interesting to justify its argument.

The Concept here is nothing new.We already have some biggies including apple who have been dominating this market for a few years as of now.A Setup box which plugs into your tv HDMI port and adds online streaming capabilities with the likes of Netflix, youtube to it.When reading this you may be a little skeptical and ask yourselves,wasn't this same the Chromecast promised too.This is where Google planned to deviate from the down-to-earth approach towards a online streamer.

The Nexus Player , has a User Interface of it's own  powered by a forked version of Android , Android Tv based on lollipop 5.0.An Intel Atom Processor clocked at 1.8Ghz ensures that the applications run smooth with a 1024 Gigabytes of Ram to take care of the memory requirements.A dedicated PowerVgr Gpu opens up a galaxy of gaming opportunities to be tapped further. 

Google has as usual enhanced its cloud sync capabilities with its latest treatment so you would be able to pause the game on your tv when you leave home and resume it on your smartphone.The Company seems to promote the nexus player as a standalone gaming console and had planned to release even a dedicated joystick controller for the purpose.

We all know  that Google's take on Operating Systems , Being Open-Source, has always proved to be successful for the company and we think that would continue with this one too.The gadget is expected to release in early November.Let's see how it performs,Once it is Out!

Firefox Os , Inflammable

Mozilla Firefox , A browser that had its own days before the advent of Google' s Chocolate boy,Chrome. Now its focus has shifted to mobile operating system taken aback by the response received for mobile Os's  nowadays with the likes of ios and android.Firefox Os is mostly based on HTML 5. It does have a tie up with a number of companies and its first phone went on sale last year.

Firefox's focus has always been on the ultra-budget category where android or literally any operating system haven't proved their strength.Phones that run on fox's fire have been placed as low as $25 in order to lure  the customers towards the infant operating system.The goal of Firefox Os had always been taking the Smartphone revolution to the masses.

 Back to android , Google's android One shares the same aim of penetrating the Smartphones into the masses.But considering the price factor Google's  android One buddies cost almost three times the price of an Firefox Phone.Yes , Firefox is a toddler Os as of now which is going to need to a couple of  enhancements in the future , but at least you get a Smartphone dirt cheap as promised.

Now coming within the boundaries of Kashmir, as of now a few smartphones that runs Firefox have been spotted in the market.All these devices cost a mere 2000 bucks or even less.


They sport a 3.5" screen backed by a 1Ghz processor and run the Firefox Os.

Android One , The People's One

Android One Project  has been creating buzz throughout the country for some time now.If you haven't done a study on what android one is all about you've come to the right place.

Android One is a project that has been initiated by Google.Only when phones like Xiaomi and the Moto E cause a catastrophe in the market do the people come to realize that they have never been getting what they really pay for.


Android Kitkat was an Os update which Google brought in order to bridge the software gap between the flagships and the mediocre ones. Kitkat was optimized to run on devices sporting just 512mb of RAM.But we all know the true picture of what happened.None of the companies came forward to release the software upgrade for their budget devices since they all thought that might affect their flagship sales.


So that's where Android One comes into play.Here,Google mentions the specs of the device to be built under this project and even the price bracket the device must be sold.Remember,Android One is a project exclusive for economic devices.The icing on the cake here is,Google promises Software Update officially just like its nexus series for them as all the devices under Android One run on pure stock without any bloatware.


So Google get's a double deal here.It ensures that its latest android iteration reaches  most of the devices and the customers in the budget segment do not make their switch to another Os such as Mozilla.


At last,as a Consumer you seem to get what you pay for.

In India as of now,three Smartphones under the android one project have been introduced and each one is available exclusively on any one of the online retailers.

1)Spice Dream Uno

2)Karbonn sparkle V
3)Micromax Canvas A1



  Specs wise all of them are nearly the same with a 1.3Ghz Mediatek processor,1Gb ram , 4Gb of internals with a 5 Mp rear and a 2 Mp selfie shooter.


So if your thinking of getting a budget android Smartphone these Ones might well be on
your Cards.

Moto 360 , GoodBye Titan

Smart bands and Smart watches have been wandering here and there in the market for some years but at last as usual Google Doctors are those who have brought them into the limelight.When google introduced Google Wear,an OS optimized for ultra-Portable and mostly wearable devices Moto 360 just was one among the newcomers, but what made it stand out of the crowd was it's round display,a concept no other manufacturer was ready by then who Instead opted out for thicker,solid Ones.

Now Moto 360 is available in the market for around 250$ and is about to continue its wave in India.Its listed in flipkart as coming soon and we except it to run on sale within weeks of time and we predict it to be priced somewhere around 15k.


So What Makes Moto 360 So Special:

The first point to start with is obviously its round display that it sports,which gives the watch a kickstart against it's competitors.It seem to add charm to your hands rather than just being one freakin techno gadget wrapped around your wrist.

It is powered by a OMAP 3 Processor coupled with a mere 512Mb Ram but we still hope that would be quite enough to satisfy your day to day needs as a watch.It has 4 gb internals for you apps and yes with the likes of Android Wear, the ring master who runs the show here is GOOGLE NOW.You just say ok google, and the virtual assistant does things for you from sending a text to navigating a best path for you to return home.

The watch is Ip67 certified and so could very well be used around your pool.The watch has bluetooth 4 le connectivity with the help of which it couples with your phone to showcase all the magic it does have.


It has a couple of sensors on board,the healthy ones being pedometer and a dedicated heart rate monitor.The watch  turns into a health band with just a flick of your wrist.


Atlast a 300mah battery powers the 360 which the company claims is capable of holding your watch's heartbeat for a day.


Yes,these things sound damn Cool on paper.But are people  ready to take a smartphone's companion for 15000 bucks and will all these features be a use-everyday type,Only time will tell that.If you wish to be one of those guys who makes that statement head on straight to flipkart once the product is thrown up on sale,else just stay within the techno crowd reading the cons of the product and cheering yourself for not spending your Bucks on Bugs.
