Finnish telecommunications company DNA will be launching the world's first Jolla phones based on Sailfish OS on the 27th of November. DNA and Jolla have been working closely together for over a year with DNA providing
Jolla with a customer angle and contributing to the development of the phone.
The phone will come with a 4.5-inch display and will run on Sailfish OS, which has been developed by a group of former Nokia employees. It will be powered by a 1.4GHz Quad-Core Qualcomm processor. The smartphone has 16GB of internal storage along with 1GB of RAM. The device sports a 8MP rear camera and a 2MP camera on the front.
Cedric Kamtsan, DNA's Business Director, said in a statement, "Being a Finnish operator, it has been very important to DNA to be able to support a Finnish success story, one in which we see great potential. People have been eagerly awaiting Jolla phones and their long wait will finally be rewarded in Helsinki on the 27th."
The current smartphone operating systems are being dominated by Google's Android OS, Apple's iOS and Microsoft's Windows OS. Saiflish OS is one of a number of open source mobile operating systems looking to make an impact on the smartphone market. Jolla CEO Tomi Pienimaki said, "As the first Jolla phone is about to be launched, everything is ready to make the consumers involved. The launch does not mark the end to product development, it goes on in cooperation with the consumers."
Price & Availability :
Jolla has so far accepted pre-orders from 136 countries since the programme started in May this year, and has since sold out its initial batch of devices. There will be around 450 phones available on the launch day and a pop-up DNA Kauppa shop will be selling them on Narinkkatori, central Helsinki, for a single evening. According to the company's website, the smartphone is priced at 399 Euros (without a contract) which is approximately equal to Rs.34,000.

Samsung had launched the Samsung Galaxy Core in may this year in several European and Asian markets, and today Samsung added a new smartphone to the company's Taiwan website called the Samsung Galaxy Core Plus. When a phone’s successor comes along with a “Plus” in its name, it is obvious that the phone will have upgraded internals at least in some aspects.

The memory can be expanded upto 64GB via MicroSD. The phone sports a 5MP primary camera and a VGA (0.3MP) camera on the front.
The smartphone packs a 1800mAh battery. The phone also has NFC and Samsung’s S Beam.
Price & Availability :
The Galaxy Core Plus is available for $270 in US (without contract). We do not know whether the company intends to launch the Samsung Galaxy Core Plus in other countries.
We will let you know as soon as we get any more information.

Motorola's upcoming smartphone Moto G is scheduled to launch on 13th November but a press image has been leaked online just days ahead of its launch.
The popular twitter spy (@evleaks) has posted the press image of the Moto G variants flaunting four colours- white, pink, blue and green. The back panel of the mobile shows the logo of American network carrier Verizon at the bottom, which hints that the new Motorola phone may initially go on sale in U.S. soon after it is launched.
Let us talk about the device in more detail. Moto G is the budget successor to the Moto X smartphone & it is to be launched on the 13th of this month. Motorola has not revealed any other specifications of the Moto G as of now. However, the smartphone's alleged specifications have already been leaked online.
The rumoured features of Moto G are given below :
Display : 4.5-inch edge-to-edge display with 720p resolution and 329ppi pixel density
OS : Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
CPU : 1.2GHz Quad-Core Qualcomm Processor
Memory : 8GB Internal
Primary Camera : 5MP
Secondary Camera : 1.2MP
Battery : 1,950mAh
According to rumours, this device will have interchangeable back covers just like the Moto X and dual-sim support. It is believed that Moto G will hit the UK market on 25th November and the device will cost 134.95 pounds without contract.
Last month, Motorola had announced the Project Ara, which would create a free, open and standardized platform to let people pick and choose the components they want in their phones. If the efforts of the Google-owned company become a reality, you will be able to build your own smartphones very much like personal computers.
Stay tuned for more updates.

According to a FCC Listing, Samsung has been spotted developing a new phablet which is codenamed as SM-G7102. This phablet is rumoured to have a 5.2-inch screen which is same as the Galaxy Note but there is no word about a proper official name to this device. The rumoured SM-G7102 smartphone might as well be targeted at the developing markets such as India and parts of Europe, because a report suggests that the shipment data obtained from a source shows that units were shipped from Korea to Delhi for testing and evaluation process. The SM-G7102 is expected to have a HD resolution screen with 720x1280 pixels and the listing hints at Dual SIM support and the smartphone running on Android 4.3. The processor clockspeed is listed as 2.3GHz, which we can expect to be a Quad-Core Snapdragon 800 chipset.
It has come to light that the SM-G7102 will measure 75.1x147mm but the thickness is unknown right now and it will come with connectivity options like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G. No other features or images about the SM-G7102 are yet out and the company hasn't revealed anything at the upcoming smartphone, but we can expect a powerful processor, dual cameras and a way better AMOLED screen from this Android device.
After the huge success of Galaxy Grand, Samsung needs to
replace the Grand with brand new & more powerful handset. If the leaked specifications
of the Samsung SM-G7102 are true, then it seems
that this device could be the successor to the Galaxy Grand.
If the company is aiming to retail the top rank in the Indian smartphone
market, they should come up with a new quad-core device with
large HD display.
As we get more information on this device, we'll keep you updated.
The sales of Galaxy S4 being not so impressive, Samsung seems all set to start the year 2014 with a bang. The company is due to launch the world's first smartphone with a bendable screen in 2014, but that is not all. We have some more news for our viewers.
The top-tier Samsung handsets will get a camera upgrade next year and both of them will feature a 16MP Isocell sensor. Thus, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 4, the company's top two upcoming models will get this high resolution camera. This was revealed at Samsung's recent Analyst Day conference, where Samsung also revealed the roadmap for other technologies like displays, processors and memory.
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF ISOCELL SENSOR?The Isocell technology ensures better light sensitivity on backside illuminated (BSI) sensors and it delivers more natural colours and also better performance in low-light. Samsung also said that its 16MP Isocell sensors will feature 1.12micron pixels, which is lower than the ones in the new Apple iPhone 5S.
Currently, the only Samsung device to have a 16MP camera is Galaxy S4 zoom. Among other companies, Nokia and Sony are the two companies with plus-16MP cameras. So this is also the end of the road for 13MP cameras as a premium feature in Samsung's line-up. Samsung used the 13MP sensor for the first time in 2013 when it launched the Galaxy S4. It was also used in Galaxy Note 3 which is still a big hit. Manufacturers like Sony and LG also use 13MP camera sensors in their top-end devices.
Xolo has launched its latest phablet - Q2000. This new phablet is the latest addition to the list of feature-rich phablets which are making rounds in the market. Let us have a look at the features of this phablet.

Intex has launched a series of handsets in the Indian
smartphone market previously. The company recently launched Aqua i6
yesterday and back in October they had also launched the Aqua N2.
However, it looks like Intex is
not done as yet because they have recently posted the image of a new
handset on their official Facebook page which they call it the Cloud
Z6. The company has not revealed any information about the specs or features
but it says that the device will come with a 5.0 inch FWVGA LCD display. The company has not disclosed any other information apart from this.
However, when we look at the other handsets like Aqua i6 and Aqua
N2, both the devices come in an affordable price range. To be more precise, they are
priced at Rs. 8,990 and Rs. 6,990 respectively.
Thus after analyzing the price of these two handsets, the recently teased
handset Cloud Z6 could possible be priced around Rs. 10,000.
And since the Aqua i6 also comes with the same display size, the Cloud
Z6 could be somewhat similar to it. In fact we could possibly be looking
at a device with at least 1GB RAM.
We'll keep you updated with the device as soon as possible.
Intex has launched its latest smartphone in its Aqua series in the Indian market, the Aqua i6.
The specifications of the Aqua i6 are given below :
Display : 5-inch (480x854 pixel) display

Secondary Camera : 2MP

Connectivity options on the smartphone include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, EDGE and 3G. It is dual-SIM smartphone with GSM+GSM support.
The Intex Aqua i6 comes preloaded with many apps including BIGFLIX, ZAPAK, Matrabhasha, and Intex Cloud app, which offers 5GB of free cloud space to users.
Commenting on the launch, Sanjay Kumar Kalirona, Business Head - Mobile, Intex Technologies Ltd. said, "We are excited to be the first mobile player in India to bring the latest innovation from MediaTek to consumers with the launch of Aqua i6.

Of late, GSMArena also posted a leaked Phones4U promo card that gives details of the much-anticipated Moto G phone. It suggests that the Moto G will come powered by Android 4.3 OS. It is rumoured to come at at £135 ($215), off-contract. Motorola's Moto G is likely to come packed with a 1,950 mAh battery.
While the promo card posted by GSMArena hints at a 5 megapixel rear camera, @evleaks claims it to come with an 8 megapixel camera. Contrary to the claims made by @evleaks, the leaked promo card says the Moto G will come powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor. There is no confirmation on the purported specs yet, but the arrival looks imminent.

Google announced the Nexus 5
smartphone on Thursday, its fifth-generation "stock Android" handset. Nexus
devices run a pure version of Android from Google and are blissfully
free of carrier and manufacturer bloatware. They serve as a showcase for
the best that Android can offer, and also help developers in creating
apps for Google's smartphone platform.
The Nexus 5 represents the biggest leap in terms of technology and features compared to earlier models, and will be the first to ship with Android 4.4 KitKat onboard. Here are the Nexus 5's strengths and weaknesses :
PROS :
Price : The Nexus 5 starts at $349 for the 16-GB model and asks only $50 more for the 32-GB model. It is sold unlocked and without a carrier contract. If you want an unlocked 16-GB iPhone 5s (or Galaxy S4, or HTC One), you'll need to cough up about $650 -- almost twice as much. The Nexus 5 is probably the best value-for-the-dollar smartphone available today. Because it is sold unlocked, it can be used with just about any carrier you choose.
Display : The Nexus 5's screen measures 5 inches across the diagonal and has 1920 x 1080 pixels. This is the sweet spot between too small and too big. Devices with screens that measure between 4.3 and 4.7 inches often feel slightly cramped. Devices with screens that measure 5.2 to 6.3 inches become cumbersome. Further, the Nexus 5's screen loses the odd aspect ratio of the Nexus 4 and jumps to the standard 16:9 ratio. This means it conforms better to HD content.
Processor : Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 is a quad-core monster. Each core is rated at 2.3 GHz, and the chip is paired with an Adreno 330 GPU at 450 MHz. This chip combo gives the Nexus 5 plenty of power to handle whatever 3-D games you might throw at it, while only sipping power instead of slurping it.
Stock Android : The chief benefit of Google's Nexus-branded gear is that it always gets the newest version of Android first. To wit, the Nexus 5 ships with Android 4.4 KitKat. However, the Nexus 4, 7 and 10 will all be updated to Android 4.4 in the coming weeks. Access to the latest version of Android is key for developers and fun for consumers, who get to try out the new features before most other Android phones get them .
CONS :
Design : Nexus devices have always been rather conservative in the design department, and the Nexus 5 is no different. It maintains the general shape that's come to be associated with Nexus handsets, but doesn't offer any interesting features or design characteristics. It's a fairly boring handset to behold.
Availability : Last year's Nexus 4 was a hot ticket item, and the Nexus 5 is following right in the N4's footsteps. Google made the Nexus 5 available in the Google Play Store Thursday, and the 16-GB models are already sold out. The 32-GB models have shipping times of two to three weeks. If you want a Nexus 5, be prepared to wait for it.
Expandability : The Nexus 5 comes with either 16 GB or 32 GB of storage built in. It does not include a slot for microSD memory cards. That's a shame, but not unexpected. It means HD video lovers will need to more closely manage how much content they store on the device.
No Verizon : For whatever reason, the Nexus 5 is not compatible with Verizon's network. The version being sold by Google is compatible with the networks run by AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile in the U.S. The device can also be purchased directly from Sprint or T-Mobile (though with a contract required). There's no word from either Google or Verizon on why the nation's largest carrier is skipping the Nexus 5.
