The Nokia Lumia 1020 is coming to the Indian stopre shelves in the first week of October. No beating around the bush here people, because we all know how many of us are waiting eagerly for the device. Nokia has been incredibly tight lipped about the Indian launch date and while the U.K. saw the phone launching in its market today for a whopping 600 pounds, the Indian market will be seeing the phone in the first week of October. While the price of the phone is still a mystery, quite possibly due to the current fluctuation in the rupee value. The Nokia Lumia 1020 I the upcoming Windows Phone from Nokia, one that combines the much talked about 41-megapixel 1/2 inch sensor along with a fast f/2.2 aperture and an optical image stabilization system that has proven to be quite amazing.  Besides the camera, the phone also ru

LG G2 set to launch on September 30 in India

L aunched earlier last month, this Android powerhouse boasts of a incredibly gorgeous 5.2-inch full HD display which makes the colours really pop. With a robust contrast you get an amazing sharpness thanks to those extra sub-pixels. Complementing the display is a thin bezel - 8.9mm. Interestingly LG has placed the smartphone rear buttons which are placed conveniently where one's index finger naturally moves when holding a large device. A challenger to Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One, the device runs on Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and features a 2.26GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC paired with 2GB of RAM.

Micromax A63 Available Online For Rs 6800

After the Canvas Fun A76 and A74, Micromax’s A63 has hit the market. The 4-incher has pixel dimensions of 480x800. The phone is powered by a 1.3 GHz dual-core processor, coupled with 512 MB of RAM (based on MediaTek MTK 6572). Like those countless budget phones from local brands, the A63 also offers dual-SIM functionality. For photography, there’s a 2 megapixel camera with LED flash. Considering even the (so-called) 8 mp sensors on Micromax phones deliver disappointing quality, we wonder what the 2 mp camera from the domestic brand will do. Another thing you need to take into consideration is how will a paltry 512 MB RAM will handle Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), which it comes pre-loaded with. The Micromax A63 comes in yellow, blue, and black. The phone can be bought for Rs 6800 via online stores. This is probably the most affordable Micromax phone to pack in Android 4.2 out-of-the-box. Whether the company has cut around too many corners to keep its pricing aggressive, remains

Samsung GALAXY Note 3 Pegged At Whopping Rs 50,000

Successor to the insanely-popular GALAXY Note II has finally landed in India. It packs in 5.7" full-HD AMOLED screen. Similarly, Samsung has thrown in some impressive numbers when it comes to processing power. The phone is powered by an octa-core Exynos chipset (A15 1.9 GHz + A7 1.3 GHz). Now that’s a lot of power for a smartphone. You can expect smooth multitasking with 3 GB of RAM. The 13 megapixel camera can record full-HD (1080p) clips at 30 fps. The snapper is also said to feature Smart Stabilisation, but at this moment we're not sure whether it’s a hardware-based feature as seen in the Nokia camera phones with the PureView branding. On the software front, the phone will ship with Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean). Samsung also claims to have improved its S Pen functionality. The new feature called Air Command gives quick access to Action Memo, Scrapbook, Screen Write, S Finder, and Pen Window. While the Note 3 may not look different than its predecessor, it’s said to offer a lea

It’s powered by a 2.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. The Xperia Z1 comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, that can be expanded by up to 64GB via a microSD card.
