Nokia company is planning to release a Windows RT tablet, and according to DigiTimes, three companies meaning Microsoft, Qualcomm, and Compal Electronics are developing a Nokia Windows RT tablet with a 10-inch screen.

The first rumor of Nokia’s secret tablet appeared at the beginning of 2012 saying that it would sport a dual-core Qualcomm SoC and that the company’s first order in an amount of 200,000 units. After Microsoft made its Surface announcement, it seemed that Nokia delayed its tablet. In case the rumors are true then Nokia will probably unveil its Windows RT tablet at the Mobile World Congress.

Marko Ahtisaari who is the head of design at Nokia announced earlier this year that a significant part of his time is spent for designing a new tablet and a new product developed by Nokia might just speed thing up in encouraging customers and OEMs to accord more attention and money to the new OS.

The Samsung Galaxy S IV Unveiled on March 14 One
of the most anticipated devices of the year was notably absent at the
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. While many people who would have
loved to get a glimpse of the Samsung Galaxy S IV at this year’s Mobile
World Congress may have been disappointed, it has now been announced
that the wait to see Samsung’s most important mobile device is almost
over.

The Samsung Galaxy S IV will be unveiled on March 14 at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.

This is the first U.S. launch of Samsung’s flagship phone in three
years. The Galaxy S III was released last year in London. The move
appears to be Samsung’s way of asserting their relevance in their battle
with Apple for the mobile market. While Apple may have the advantage
over Samsung Electronics in the U.S. handset market, Samsung is a global
giant, with a wide advantage over their rival in global markets. For
their part, Samsung Electronics’ mobile division chief JK Shin, stated
that Samsung changed the venue for the release to New York due to heavy
requests from U.S. mobile carriers.

The device specifications will not be released until the grand
unveiling at Radio City Music Hall. However, there are many rumors
about regarding the features of the Galaxy S IV. The device is thought
to have a 4.99’’ full HD screen and a 13-megapixel camera. For those
unfamiliar with the previous version of the Galaxy, those specs include
both a higher resolution display and camera than the former version.
The Galaxy S IV is also expected to have a faster quad-core processor.
Rumor has it that it will have an Exynos 5 8-core processor. The device
is also expected to run on Android 4.2.2 and have 2GB of RAM. Of course,
the official specifications could be different, and we will have to
wait to get the full details when the phone is unveiled on March 14.

Leak Confirms Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Specs?

August 3, 2012 Hi Tech Mobile Phone Uncategorized Android, Galaxy Note 10.1, GalaxyNote, Mobile World Congress, Multi-core processor, Pen, Samsung, Samsung Galaxy Note

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Photo credit: blogeee.net)Samsung first introduced the Galaxy Note 10.1 at Mobile World Congress 2012, but now the company might decide to bump up the specs before actually bringing it to market.

According to Sam Mobile, Samsung plans to put a faster processor into the Galaxy Note 10.1 and it will ship the tablet with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with plans to update to Jelly Bean later. The new specs come from a leaked user manual photo.

If these leaks are true, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 will have a 1.4GHz quad-core processor that matches the one inside the Galaxy S III. Like Samsung announced before, the Galaxy Note 10.1 uses a 10.1-inch WXGA (1280×768) display and can use the special S-Pen that Samsung introduced with the first Galaxy Note.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 specs leak

The rest of the specs for the Galaxy Note 10.1 are relatively standard for modern Android tablets. It has a 5MP camera that can shoot 720p video, and a variety of sensors. Unfortunately this leak doesn’t confirm the RAM or storage space available on the tablet.

The big differentiator for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 aside from the S-Pen stylus is the ability to run multiple apps. Unlike most mobile devices, the Galaxy Note 10.1 gives users the option to open apps like the web browser in one half of the screen leaving the other half open for jotting down notes. We doubt any third-party apps will support the features, but even just the browser is great for students or anyone else who needs to write notes while browsing the web.

Nokia: T-Mobile’s Lumia 710 Has Exceeded Expectations

March 2, 2012 Hi Tech Mobile Phone Uncategorized Lumia, Mobile World Congress, Nokia, Stephen Elop, T-Mobile, United States, Windows Phone

At the beginning of February, we posed a question: Is the Nokia Lumia 710 selling poorly on T-Mobile? Our answer was, probably not. Nokia has seemingly answered that question itself today in remarks from company CEO Stephen Elop at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. When asked how the Lumia 710 was doing in the United States, Elop was quick to say that it has been “exceeding expectations.”

T-Mobile’s Lumia 710 was the first Nokia-made Windows Phone to hit the United States. It arrived with an aggressive price tag – $50 on-contract, that got even more aggressive when the carrier dropped the price of the device down to free.

When the carrier did that, many believed it was because it was selling poorly.

Nokia Says Its Lumia 710 Windows Phone Has Exceeded Expectations

Not the case says Elop who said that the company is “very pleased” with how the device has selling in the U.S. A quick peek at T-Mobile’s website reveals that the device is currently the third best-selling device on T-Mobile and boasts high customer satisfaction.

Keep in mind, the Lumia 710 isn’t a beast of a smartphone. It’s an entry level device. A very solid entry level device at that.

This seems to bode well for the launch of the Nokia Lumia 900 which is slated to arrive next month on AT&T’s 4G LTE network. We enjoyed the device so much, that we awarded it with our Best in Show award for CES 2012.

Nokia has also released the Lumia 800 here in the United States but as of right now, the price tag is $899. That’s the only way it’s being sold at the moment, which, is a bit puzzling considering Nokia’s plan to aggressively price its devices here in the U.S.

That plan seems to have worked for the Lumia 710 and if rumors are to be believed, the Lumia 900 may launch with a $99 on-contract price, a price that will certainly demand the attention of customers across the U.S.

LG’s first quad-core smartphone amongst company’s offerings at MWC 2012

February 29, 2012 Hi Tech Mobile Phone Uncategorized Ampere-hour, Android, lg, Mobile World Congress, Multi-core processor, Nvidia Tegra, Optimus, Samsung Galaxy Note

LG arrived at Mobile World Congress (MWC) this year with a number of new and updated Android smartphones. The company’s new L-Style series kicks off with three handsets ranging from the 3.2-inch L3, through the 4-inch L5, to the flagship 4.3-inch L7. Meanwhile the Optimus 3D gets an update in the form of the Optimus 3D Max, while the new Optimus Vu with its 5-inch display pits itself against Samsung’s Galaxy Note. The show also sees the debut of the company’s first quad-core powered smartphone, the LG Optimus 4X HD.

L-Style range

Looking to satisfy users who don’t necessarily need the latest and greatest in terms of specs, the L-Style series starts with the entry level L3 that measures 11.7 mm (0.46-in) thin, sports a 3.2-inch QVGA display, and comes running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). It is powered by an 800 MHz processor and packs a fixed-focus 3-megapixel camera.

Next step up in the range is the L5, which is also powered by an 800 MHz processor, but ups the screen size to 4-inches (HVGA), gets a custom skinned Android 4.0 and is a bit thinner than the L3 at 9.68 mm (0.38-in). It also includes a 5-megapixel camera and NFC support.

As the flagship of the L-Style line, the L7 sports a 4.3-inch display, is powered by a 1 GHz processor and comes with Android 4.0 preinstalled. It also boasts a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash. Like the L3 and L5, the L7 will feature what LG calls a “floating mass display” that LG says allows for a slimmer look.

The L3 is due to launch in Europe in March, with the L5 and L7 due out before mid year.

Optimus 3D Max

A year after displaying the Optimus 3D at MWC 2011, LG has unveiled its sequel, the Optimus 3D Max (aka Cube). While it shares much with its predecessor – 4.3-inch glasses-free 3D display, dual 5-mp cameras for shooting 3D stills and video, 8 GB internal storage, HDMI port, DLNA – the Max gets a faster 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, Android 2.3 (with an Android 4.0 update shortly after launch), 1,520 mAh battery and HSPA+ 21 Mbps and NFC (Near Field Communications) support. The redesigned Max is also slightly thinner at 9.89 mm (0.39-in). It is due out in Korea in March, with other markets to follow starting with Europe.

Optimus Vu

Like Samsung’s Galaxy Note, the Vu is a super-sized smartphone that fits somewhere between a smartphone and a tablet. It features a 5-inch, 1024 x 768, 4:3 aspect ratio IPS display and is powered by a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor and 1 GB of RAM. It will initially come running Android 2.3, but LG has promised an update to Android 4.0 shortly after launch. It features LTE support and comes with 32 GB of internal memory and a 2,080 mAh battery.

Optimus 4X HD

The biggest news from LG at MWC 2012 is the Optimus 4X HD, which is the company’s first quad-core powered smartphone thanks to a 1.5 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, which is assisted by 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. It comes running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), and boasts a 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 True HD IPS display. There’s an 8-megapixel rear camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera along with a 2,150 mAh battery packed inside an 8.9 mm (0.35-in) thin body. It is due to launch in Europe before mid year.

LG is yet to release pricing details for the new handsets.

Nokia Drive 3 teased at MWC with commute alerts via live tiles (video)

When the folks at Nokia took us aside and asked if we’d like a preview of the latest features slated for Nokia Drive, we knew something good was in store. Our intuition wasn’t wrong. The next version of Nokia’s navigation software will focus on commutes — aiming to make the daily chore easier by learning driving habits, identifying regular trips and providing users with live tile updates that estimate journey times and traffic flow. Nokia Drive 3 will automatically query this data 30 minutes before an established commute is expected to begin, and will also provide drivers with suggested quicker routes to their destination. The traffic data is gathered both from traditional navigation sources and other Nokia Drive 3 users — we’re told this latter bit is completely optional and, while the privacy policy is quite explicit, the company insists it doesn’t personally identify users.

Nokia tells us the software interface isn’t finalized, so what you see in the Flash demonstration may change before Nokia Drive 3 arrives in the coming months. You’ll find a demonstration of the new My Commute feature, from the creator himself, right after the break.

Intel Bringing Smartphones to More Countries, Partners With Visa on Mobile Payments

February 27, 2012January 19, 2015 Hi Tech Mobile Phone Uncategorized China, India, intel, Intel Atom, Mobile World Congress, Orange, Paul Otellini, Visa

BARCELONA — Intel continues its steady march into the smartphone market with new international partners in Europe, India and China. The company announced new Intel Atom-based handsets with European provider Orange, India’s upstart provider Lava International, and China’s ZTE, as well as a long-term partnership with Visa

Intel CEO Paul Otellini delivered the mobile Atom CPU (formerly code-named “Medfield“) update at Mobile World Congress. He noted that Intel is “no stranger” to the mobile market, stating that Intel shipped 400 million RF devices in smartphones in 2011. But the company also realizes that it needs to deliver a platform like the Atom Z2460, which partners are now slowly building into handsets around the world.

On the smartphone partner front, Orange is building a mass-market entertainment phone, which will ship in the U.K. and France this summer. Running Intel’s Atom Z2460 system, the phone will come loaded with a variety of Orange entertainment services. Yves Maitre, SVP Mobile Multimedia and Devices for Orange, said his company decided 18 months ago to “address a mass-market position,” while still delivering industry-leading features. “It’s a huge challenge,” said Maitre

India’s Lava plans on delivering a high-end XOLO X900 smartphone, which will feature an Intel 1.6GHz processor, 400MHz GPU and an 8-megapixel camera. Lava Cofounder and Director Vishal Seghal described India as the world’s fastest-growing large smartphone market. China’s ZTE has also joined hands with Intel and will deliver Atom-based handsets later this year.

Missing from the partner list was any company that would deliver Intel-based smartphones in the U.S.

Intel also announced a multi-year strategic alliance with Visa. The companies will work together to bring Visa’s services, including PayWave mobile transactions, to Intel smartphones.

Otellini also spent some time outlining the mobile CPU roadmap. Moore’s law, which states that the number of transistors (and thereby processing power) will double every 18 months, may be too conservative for mobile development. The current Atom CPU is built on a 32 nanometer process. By 2013, it’ll be on a 22nm process and 14 nm by 2014.

Advancements like that make it clear that Intel and its partners will be delivering more and more powerful smartphones over the next two years. Yet, even with heavy-hitter partners like Lenovo (which is shipping the Intel-based K800 in China) and Visa, the chip giant has yet to breakthrough with a smartphone in America, which is thus far dominated by ARM-based mobile CPUs.

Intel may be able to start turning the tide with the introduction of a new low-end Atom mobile CPU, the Z200. Offering 1GHz speeds and a price point that could allow manufacturers to build sub-$150 phones, the Z200 is aimed squarely at the rapidly growing value market.

LG Optimus LTE Tag Customizes Itself Using NFC Stickers

February 27, 2012January 19, 2015 Hi Tech Mobile Phone Uncategorized LG Optimus, Mobile World Congress, Samsung, Samsung Galaxy Note

LG has disclosed an assemblage of new handsets at Versatile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona. The majority of the new telephones run Android, with the Optimus 4x and Optimus L-arrangement handsets wearing Android 4.0. The 4x HD is a powerhouse, blending a quad-center 1.5ghz Tegra 3 processor with a 1280 x 720 IPS show. The Optimus Vu looks to test the Samsung Cosmic system Note for amazingness in the 5-inch market, however offers an ipad-like 4:3 presentation degree. The Optimus 3d Max offers a spec knock over the first Optimus 3d, alongside NFC ability, however you’ll be stuck on Android 2.3 for the time being. At long last, the Optimus L7, L5, and L3 bring a touch of style to the organization’s Android range. Stay informed regarding all LG’s publications right here.

The LG Optimus Vu, which is a piece of another line of LG Optimus handsets, ought to be called “The Record book” (yet it can’t for evident reasons), since this 5-inch cell phone is as expansive as a little journal (see the pics for evidence). Truth be told, as I was providing for it a test drive at LG’s Portable World Congress stall, LG reps let me know that it was their plan to outline a kind of advanced journal and peruser. So it has the capacitive pen (no weight affectability), an expansive, splendid screen, and a bundle of note pad amicable and digital book perusing applications that make it feel and work like a computerized soft cover book. It even has page-turn activitys reminiscent of the ipad’s ibooks application.

At 168 grams and around 4 inches wide, the Optimus Vu does not feel much like a cell phone. I put it by my iphone 4 and was flabbergasted at the size distinction. Still, the Android 2.3-running Vu is a fairly capable LTE gadget with a 1.5 Ghz processor, a XGA screen, and a 8 megapixel cam. As has been the situation with most Android 2.3 gadgets at Versatile World Congress, LG guarantees the Optimus Vu will get a Dessert sandwich redesign in June or July.

The Optimus Vu is as of now sending in Korea and ought to appear in the U.s. in Q3 of this current year. Evaluating has not yet been set.

This pattern to oversized telephones (or undersized tablets) with inherent styli is, contingent upon your viewpoint, either cheering or irritating. Is the general thought of a pocketable cell phone being contorted or are there basically no principles in terms of convenient contraptions? I figure we’ll know for certain once items like the LG Optimus Vu and the additionally recently reported Samsung System Note 10.1 hit the business.

Let us know what you think in the remarks.

Nokia 808 PureView Has a Monster 41-Megapixel Camera

February 27, 2012January 19, 2015 Hi Tech Mobile Phone Uncategorized Barcelona, Carl Zeiss, Carl Zeiss AG, Mobile World Congress, Nokia, Pixel, PureView, Random-access memory, Symbian

BARCELONA — Thought that Symbian was dead? Think again: at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nokia has just announced the 808 Pureview,
a flagship Symbian device with a 41-megapixel camera.

You read that right, 41 megapixels – Nokia has made this happen by combining Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia-developed pixel over-sampling technology. High megapixel count does not equal quality photos, of course – we’re looking forward to seeing how PureView tech works in real life.
Of course, the PureView technology will be coming to upcoming Nokia phones as well, so get used to phones having crazy megapixel numbers in the near future.

The 808 PureView also features something called Rich Recording, which lets you record “crisp, clear audio (…) up to a thumping 140 decibels,” says Nokia.

The rest of the specs mostly spell mid-range: a single core 1.3 GHz CPU, a 4-inch, 360 x 640 pixel screen, 512 MB of RAM and 16 GB of storage.

The device will retail for 450 euros, hitting the market in May.

And, going back to the question we asked at the beginning – whether Symbian is dead, as many have predicted – Nokia declined to say. In any way, even if 808 PureView is the last Symbian we see, at least the PureView technology will live on in other handsets.
