0 Nokia Lumia 1520, 6" device image leaked, sized up next to Lumia 1020

Nokia Lumia 1520 is rumored to feature a 6" 1080p display and run on the latest Snapdragon 800 chipset. Other alleged specs include a 20MP camera on the back, wireless charging support, a polycarbonate body and Windows Phone 8 GDR3.

Today we get to see what is allegedly a live photo of the phablet. How we know it's indeed the 6" Lumia 1520? Well, the phones next to it is the recently launched Lumia 1020 and it's easily dwarfed by the Lumia 1520.

With the screen switched on, we also seem to be getting our first look at the upcoming GDR3 update that would bring support for 1080p screens, faster processors. To make use of all that screen real estate, Windows Phone will now allow you to place a double wide tile next to a medium sized tile. Additionally, a third row of tiles can be placed on the homescreen. The leaked image closely resembles an image that had earlier this year that claimed to depict the front panel for the upcoming device. Additionally, the engraved proto.nokia.com text is true for all Nokia prototype devices.

that' all about my view . what do you think ? Do comment bellow.

0 Rise alarm clock - iOS App of the Week, available for free to download

Rise alarm clock named iOS App of the Week, available for free download

If for whatever reason the default alarm clock in iOS isn't doing it for you, Rise happens to be one of our favorite third-party substitutes. And this week, Apple is giving away the app —normally $1.99—at no charge as part of its revolving App of the Week promotion. Rise's dead-simple interface (you slide a finger up or down your iPhone's screen to set a wake-up time) and elegant design make its normal price easy to part with, but when it's up for grabs at no cost to you, we're pressed to find any reason why you shouldn't give it a shot. You may be thankful you did starting tomorrow morning.

0 Xolo Launched A500S, 4" display, Android 4.2 for INR 6,999

Xolo, the brand name under which Lava releases their smartphones in India has launched its cheapest smartphone in the Xolo line-up. After launching flagship devices, the war has once again intensified in the entry-level segment and we are not surprised at Xolo’s launch.

Xolo A500S is currently the cheapest Xolo phone available in the market today as the predecessor Xolo A500 has been discontinued. Xolo A500S comes with certain enhancements over the previous model and with just a slight hike in price.

The most impressive change is the OS. Xolo A500S comes with Android Jelly Bean version 4.2. That is so far the latest as Android 4.3 Jelly Bean is yet to debut on a smartphone. The display size is a 4-inches TFT screen. Xolo A500S comes with a display resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and pixel density of 233 Pixels Per Inch (PPI). The device is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 512MB of RAM and a Mali-400 MP GPU for boosting graphics. The device is based on MediaTek's chipset, MT 6572W.

It includes a 5-megapixel rear camera accompanied by an LED flash and a VGA front facing camera. The rear camera can record videos up to 720p resolution. The Xolo A500S runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It also includes 4GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 32GB through microSD card. It is a dual SIM device with support for GSM+GSM with dual standby. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, and Micro-USB. Other features include an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor and AGPS. The Xolo A500S is backed by a 1400mAh battery.

The device will be available in four colour options- Black, Blue, Red & White.

Xolo seems to be targeting the budget Android segment with the A500S. The latest smartphone is believed to be a successor to the Xolo A500 which is now available for Rs. 6,499 at online retailers.

Last month, Xolo launched the Play T1000 smartphone powered by Tegra 3 quad-core processor for Rs. 15,999.

The Xolo Play T1000 features a 4.7-inch HD display. The highlight of the device is its 1.5 GHz Tegra 3 quad-core processor which comes with a 12-core GeForce GPU and 1GB RAM. The phone comes with internal storage of 4GB which can be further expanded up to 32GB. The device sports an 8.0-megapixel rear camera and a 2.0-megapixel front camera. It comes with full HD1080p video recording and playback capabilities. Other major features include 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS support. The phone comes with a 2,000mAh battery.

0 Moto X Launched with X8 Chipset, 4.7" AMOLED Screen and Available in 18 Colors

The Moto X went official in the USA, with a ton of information(aka press coverage) doing the usual internet rounds. With modest hardware specifications, Motorola has taken a completely different approach with its latest flagship device. So different, it makes you wonder what really is special with this device. Unless you want to read through various long form articles, you won’t really know what the stand-out features are. We have taken that effort instead, so here is a compiled list of really interesting Moto X features you definitely need to know

Ergonomic design and customisations

The Moto X, according to various hands on reports, has a really comfortable design. Thanks to the slightly conically shaped back and an extremely thin and curved bezel, the device sits perfectly in the hands, and is apparently one of they key design decisions they took

10 Megapixel RGBC camera

The camera on the Moto X is a 10 megapixel 1/2.6″ sensor with a pixel size of 1.4 um. This is slightly bigger and possibly better than the recent flagships with 1/3″ sensors and 1.1 um pixel sizes. It also sports a f2.4 lens and a true 16:9 format sensor. But one thing that stands out is the colour filter Moto has chosen to use on top of the sensors. This is provided by the Omnivision OV10820 and OV660combo.

Touchless control for Google Now

Another interesting feature that already leaked before the announcement, is the always listening Google Now service for the Moto X. This is called “Touchless control” and is primarily enabled by the specific NLP(Natural Language Processor) in the Moto X8 chipset. Acting as one of the cores in the 8 core chipset, this NLP is always on and keeps listening for a specific voice command, in this case, it is “OK Google”, just like the Google Glass
