Lenovo Brings Out Yoga Tablet 2 Series in India

AAKASH CHANDRA 
With the big dogs Apple and Google releasing their tablets, Lenovo has also decided to join the bandwagon. The company has brought their Yoga Tablet 2 Series to India. In total, the company has released four new tablets. These tablets are Yoga Tablet 2, Yoga Tablet 2, Yoga Tablet 2 (Windows) and the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro.
The Yoga tablets are quite innovative and come in two operating system options. They will all be available exclusively on Flipkart. The Yoga Tablet 2 (8-inch, Android) and Yoga Tablet 2 (10-inch, Android) will come to Flipkart from Friday, October 17th. Yoga Tablet 2 (10-inch, Windows) and the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro will be available around November-end.

The tablets have been made in collaboration with Product Engineer Ashton Kutcher.
All Android tablet are working on Android 4.4.4 whereas the Windows tablets are working on Windows 8.1 with Bing 32-bit. All tablets in the Yoga Tablet 2 series feature 1920×1200 display resolution. The Yoga 2 Tablets come with an Accutype keyboard dock that is powered by Bluetooth. It also doubles up as a cover for the device.
The devices have identical specifications; they are powered by a 1.3GHz intel Atom Z3745 Processor and come with a 2GB of RAM. They come in 16GB or 32GB storage options which are expandable up to 64 GB.
Camera wise the devices have an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.6-megapixel front-facing selfie shooter. The 8 inch tablets have a battery capacity of 6400mAh whereas the 10 inch models come with a 3-cell 9600mAh battery.

With a 13 inch display the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro is a monster of a portable device.
The tablet that will be a multimedia maniac’s dream come true is the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro. The tablet has an in-built Pico projector that can project an image of up to 50-inches. It also has an 8-watt sound system with a subwoofer.
The tablet has been developed with Ashton Kutcher. No wonder the specifications on the device simply rock. The device has a 13-inch QHD (2560×1440 pixels) display. It is powered by  the same 1.3 GHz Intel Atom Z3745 Processor like its younger siblings, which seems less for the massive display on the device.

The projector on the device sets it apart from all other tablets.
Yoga Tablet 2 Pro comes with 32GB internal storage with microSD card which is expandable up to 64GB, It gets its juice from a 3-cell 9600mAh Li-Cylindrical battery. This seems like a device meant for the professionals, and hence has a steep price tag of Rs. 47,990.
The price of the other devices are: the Yoga Tablet 2 (8-inch, Android) for Rs. 20,990, Yoga Tablet 2 (10-inch, Android) for Rs. 28,990 and the Yoga Tablet 2 (10-inch, Windows) for Rs. 34,990.

Galaxy Note Edge Expected to Arrive in India this Year

Galaxy Note Edge Expected to Arrive in India this Year

AAKASH CHANDRA 
Following up the launch of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy Note 4 in India, new reports have emerged suggesting that the Galaxy Note Edge featuring a curved display will be arrive in India before the end of the calender year.
The unique feature of the Galaxy Note Edge is its flexible display panel around the right side, which is a separate display panel alongside the primary display panel. Apart from the curved display, the phablet is more or less identical to the Galaxy Note 4 when it comes to features and peripherals.
The Galaxy Note Edge flaunts a 5.6-inch Super AMOLED display, with a QHD resolution, adding an extra 160 pixels on the third side of the display. It is powered by a 2.7Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor or an Exynos 5433 octa-core processor (1.9GHz quad-core+1.3GHz quad-core), depending on the region. The one with the Snapdragon variant of the Galaxy Note 4 was launched in India, and we expect that same would be the case with Galaxy Note Edge as well.
It has a 16MP rear shooter with OIS, along with a 3.7 MP front camera, massive 32GB of internal storage, a microSD slot, and a 3,000mAh battery. The phablet runs on the latest Android KitKat atop with TouchWiz UI.
As of now, there is no word regarding its price, but we can expect it to cost a bomb, as the Galaxy Note 4 is priced at a staggering Rs.58,300. Samsung has also revealed that the Galaxy Note Edge will be a limited edition phablet and won’t be produced in large stocks.

Rumor: Motorola working on a Non-Nexus Moto X Plus

Rumor: Motorola working on a Non-Nexus Moto X Plus

AAKASH CHANDRA 
It all makes sense now! Everyone was wondering why the new Nexus is more expensive than the handset it is based on (aka the Moto X), but it turns out that Motorola is working on a big daddy version of the Moto X which may be available for sale later this year for a heftier price tag. The Moto X plus (or whatever they decide to call it) has a few upgrades from the Nexus 6.
The Moto X plus retains the mammoth 5.9 inch QuadHD display and Snapdragon 805 chipset along with Adreno 405 GPU. You will also get 32 and 64 GB storage capacities on this big version Moto X, however, you will also get expandable storage upto 128 GB thanks to a microSD card and a bumped up 16 MP camera sensor.
The camera on the Moto X plus will reportedly shoot 240 fps 720p video just like the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and will also get OIS. Although these few changes may not warrant a non Nexus badge, but the news may deter some from buying the Nexus handset as expandable storage may become a big selling point.
We are still trying to get more details on the actual reality of the story, however our sources fail to negate the story, while not adding a lot. We will have to take this with a pinch of salt.

Apple Leaks the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 just ahead of Tomorrows Launch

AAKASH CHANDRA 
Call it a co-incidence, a mistake or a planned move, but just after Google’s hot Nexus 9 announcement, Apple’s updated User Guide for iOS 8.1 has leaked and in it are details of the next iPads. Yes the new iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 3, but no, you do not get any juicy information except the fact that both the new tablets will get a tTouchID sensor in place of the home button and thats about all the information you get in this leak.
Everything else is just a bunch of screenshots showing of the OS, and the new improved features. However you put it, in an attempt to out do each other, Google announced the Nexus line up a day earlier to the big Apple announcement, and Apple leaked the documents right after the launches. The tech giants need to curb their enthusiasm if they want our brains to rest easy.
The Book has been pulled from the App Store (See source link), but not before some folks downloaded it, and the website link below still has the screens.

Apple Stocks Up 55,000 iPhone 6 Units for Tonight’s Midnight Launch in India

AAKASH CHANDRA 
In order to ensure adequate supplies in the first batch, Apple has reportedly shipped around 55,000 iPhone 6 units to India for tonight’s midnight launch. The report, published by Economic Times, says that the handsets will be available beginning tomorrow and there is anticipation of high demand for the Indian market. The first lot of shipment should be sufficient to meet the demand, as there have been over 21,000 pre-orders for the device.
This initial supply is way much better compared to last year’s iPhone 5s and 5c launch where only around a mere 20,00 units were shipped in the first phase, which created excess demand, particularly in the case of the iPhone 5S. All top retailers and Apple stores across India will launch the new iPhone 6 today at midnight and will be given only to customers who have placed pre-orders, while regular sales begin tomorrow morning.
Samsung will also take on Apple head on with the launch of their flagship Galaxy Note 4 tomorrow. Check out our first impressions of the Galaxy Note 4.

Exclusive: Google Nexus 9 to Launch in India by December for Rs. 24,999

AAKASH CHANDRA 
After the release of all the big ticket devices from the big brands, Google has unveiled its home grown beasts. The company unveiled the long awaited and tremendously speced Nexus 6. With the launch of this phone, the Nexus brand has moved to the top of the food chain. Along with Nexus 6 came Google’s new tablet, the Nexus 9, which was developed by Google in collaboration with HTC. Now according to insider sources, the company will be bringing the Nexus 9 to India by the 2nd week of December.
Nexus 9 is a slim, sleek and sexy looking tablet. Its processing might is taken care by a 64-bit NVIDIA Tegra K1 Dual Denver processor clocked at 2.3GHz. It comes with 2GB RAM and is available in 16GB and 32GB storage variants. The device has an 8.9 inch IPS LCD display with 4:3 aspect ratio. It has a resolution of 2048×1536 and is covered in Gorrila Glass 3.
The specs on the camera of the device are also great. It comes with an 8MP rear camera with an aperture of f/2.4. For the selfie enthusiasts, the device offers a 1.6MP front camera but with an iris of f/2.4 you can expect some good selfies even in low light scenarios.
Nexus 9 is also a great device for the multimedia enthusiasts. While its big portable screen will be great for watching video content, the front facing HTC Boomsound will enhance the multimedia experience.
The device is one of the first devices to run the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop OS along with the Nexus 6. According to insider sources, it will arrive in India for a price of Rs.24,999 for the 16 GB Wi-Fi only model. This is one tablet we’d love to take for a spin.

Exclusive: Google Nexus 6 Will Launch in India End 2014 for Rs. 42,999.

AAKASH CHANDRA 

This will be a shocker of mammoth proportions, especially for those waiting for this handset. Agreed that on paper, and mostly in reality, the Nexus 6 is expected to be a monster, But this will be Google’s most expensive handset yet.
According to our source at Motorola, the Google Nexus branded Moto phone will be available later this year for a whopping price of Rs 42999 for the 32 GB variant. The Nexus 6 is also expected to go on sale by the 11th of December, however with the past track record of Nexus devices in India we can’t be too sure. Granted that for a QuadHD display and Snapdragon 805 one would be willing to shed out that much, the Nexus 6 however has not been Google’s best attempt at making a budget flagship. Which was the case with devices like the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 5, which were essentially cheaper variants of their expensive counterparts, i.e. the LG Optimus G and the LG G2.
This is the first time the Nexus device is actually more expensive than the device it is based on, and that due to mostly the bumped up specs, and Motorola’s already tight margins.
Motorola in India may not have the right alignment for the Nexus 6, however it may be a great opportunity for the company to initiate tie-ups or payment schemes to help users buy this device. This could also be a great opportunity to talk network tie-ups and contracts in India, which might become a big thing starting 2015.
Either way you look at it, the Nexus 6 will miss out most of its prospective buyers in India, and Google may need to work really hard to sell the one the the very price conscious Indian audience.
The Nexus 6 was announced along side the Nexus 9 and Android 5.0 Lollipop and features a 5.96” 1440×2560 display (493 ppi) a 3220 mAh battery. Camera is a 13MP rear-facing with optical image stabilization and a 2MP front-facing. The Nexus 6 runs a CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 – Quad Core 2.7 GHz processor along with GPU: Adreno 420 and the storage options are 32 GB and 64 GB.

Google Outs Nexus 6 – Pre Order it for US $ 649 on Oct 29th

AAKASH CHANDRA 
Google has just made the Nexus 6 official and yes it’s a Moto X on steroids. The Nexus 6 is the first phone to run Android 5.0 Lollipop, yes it’s called Lollipop. For whatever reason, everything that you wanted in the Moto X has actually been given in the Nexus 6. You get a 5.9 inch QuadHD, screen a faster Snapdragon 805 chipset and a heftier 3220 mAh battery.
Regretting buying that Moto X yet? You get the Moto logo along with a Nexus badge at back and the same 13 MP snapper with the ring dual LED flash.
The phone will be available in the following sizes 32 GB and 64 GB  in either the Cloud White or the Midnight Blue colors. The Pre-Orders are set to begin on the 29th of October according to The Verge.
The phone has the same metal structure of the Moto X and also presumably will have the same strength. The button locations are the same, and thanks to the minimal bezel design, the Nexus 6 should look a lot less big.
As far as India is concerned, there is no news on arrival but we are in talks, so stay tuned.

Android 5.0 is Lollipop

aakash chandra 
After monte of initial release the Android 5.0 version has been made official and its called Lollipop (sorry not ladoo). The OS was mostly known as Android L since its announcement and now it has finally been named along with the launch of the three flagship products, the Nexus 6, the Nexus 9 and a $99 Nexus player.
Google has been kind to confirm that Android 5.0 Lollipop is coming to the Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 along with Google Play edition devices, in the coming weeks.
Motorola gets dibs on first lineup, as Motorola’s most new launches will get Lollipop almost as soon as Nexus devices.these include both generations of the Moto X and Moto G (including the US LTE model), Moto E, and US based Droid Maxx, Droid Mini and Droid Ultra.
Expect to hear from other companies in a while, although HTC’s new launches including the HTC Desire 820, new Desire Eye will ship with Android L out of the box later this month, hence the delay in launch.
