Nokia Launching its first Android based Phone..

             Nokia had announced the Launch of its First Android based smartphone series X,


 Its the most happening news for this quarter as the Nokia enters the Android Smartphone Markets.
Nokia promises the sustainability earned over years in Indian Market to be well improved with this new 
launches. 

             But before you actually buy one Android by brand Nokia Don't you think you should get an idea about it yeas you should..
There were rumors earlier that Android first Approached Nokia to launch their mobile Operating system 
but Nokia refused the deal and later big daddy Google bought it. And since then Nokia must have been regretting over the refusal to Nokia. Let us See how Nokia managed to get the Android rolled out on their Devices.



    Nokia introduces the  Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL series smartphones to be first few Android devices.

Nokia has a reputation of providing the best specifications with the acceptable price tags in Indian Market.
It will be good to see how Nokia maintains the same reputation with this new X series.


 Nokia X series Android smartphones are based on the AOSP(Android Open Source Project) where Nokia doesn't need to get Google's permission for any stuff they should be using for their smartphone.


This clearly indicates that the Nokia's Android Phones would not contain all of the android features that need googles permissions.

 Few  resources claim that Nokia has the Google Maps and all Google related products such as You Tube, Play Music etc removed from their version of Android.

It has been also rumored that there will be no Play store available for these handsets which is considered to be a major drawback. Instead Nokia has its own market replaced in place of Google Play store and  Nokia Here Maps replaced with the G Maps.

This move may be for targeting the markets of countries who banned Google like China .

How ever with all these drawbacks or shortcomings there is a bright side as well.

Nokia has said to be using the latest processors and chipset technology it is currently using for its Lumia series, which will insure the lag free experience on device.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Review Features and Specifications.

     According the recent news in electronic market Samsung announced the launch date of Samsung Galaxy 5 to be 11th April for almost 150 countries. Although the exact market price and availability is still not clear.
  
      Samsung has introduced few new hardware features like fingerprint scanner and heart beat sensor.
Let us see what detailed design features Galaxy S5 offers.

Latest Hardware features and tonned down Touchwiz UI
    
              As mentioned earlier the Galaxy S5 features few latest hardware features such as fingerprint scanner and heartbeats sensor, here Samsung has provided the heart beat sensor in addition to the fingerprint scanner the reasons may be that Samsung wanted to outnumbered the features that its biggest smartphone  competitor Apple  has to offer. Recently Apple also talked about implementing the secured smartphone generation by introducing the Fingerprint sensors.
                Unlike all the previous Galaxy devices Samsung has tonned down the Touch Wiz UI on top of android KitKat. Sources even said that the S series applications are not included on this device and they are completely left for users to choose from. This may be result of lot of people giving samsung negative feedback over there hell lot of S series applications consuming the internal memory and completely useless for those people.

               
Have a deep drive to read out what else Samsung is offering in form of Galaxy S5


Samsung Galaxy S5 hands-on




















Display
The new Galaxy retains the same 1080p Super AMOLED panel as the Galaxy S4; it's just slightly larger, at 5.1 inches. With this in mind, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the viewing experience is pretty much the same as its predecessor. Additionally, the Galaxy S5 comes with

  • a swappable back cover,
  •  microSD slot and removable 2,800mAh battery, which has a higher capacity than last year's model.
  • It's also IP67-certified, which adds an element of water and dust resistance never before enjoyed by Galaxy S series  users As a result, the micro-USB 3.0 port at the bottom is protected by a tab that keeps water from getting inside.

Leather Back Pannel.
Samsung says the back of the GS5 is "leather-like," which basically means it's a fancy-looking polycarbonate build. While the company already uses similar design language for the Galaxy Note 3 and Note 10.1 2014 edition, the look and feel is slightly different; it's not quite as soft as the new Notes, and its small dimples actually remind us of the original Nexus 7. Though the sides have a metallic finish, company reps confirmed they're actually made from a blend of polycarbonate and glass fiber. Still, we're more confident of the durability here than we were with many of Samsung's previous Galaxy phones.

Fingerprint Scanner
As we already said the biggest talking points for the Galaxy S5 is that new fingerprint scanner.. In this case, Samsung's scanner, which works by swiping your finger down over the home button, has a few handy uses. In addition to the obligatory phone unlock option, it also lets you fingerprint-protect a private data locker on your phone, in case you have confidential information you don't want getting out there. Samsung also announced a partnership with PayPal which allows you to make online payments using the fingerprint method. In our limited time with the GS5, I noticed that the phone picked up my fingerprint most of the time, as long as I did it slowly enough -- if you're in a swiping hurry, your chance of success will likely drop. Unfortunately, we're still waiting to hear back on exactly how Samsung will implement security and privacy concerns with the scanner, so we'll update you as soon as we know more details.



Heart Beat Sensor
The other major new hardware feature is the heart rate sensor, which is built into the same rear module as the LED flash. It works in conjunction with S-Health 3.0, which acts as a personal life coach of sorts. To monitor your pulse, hold your finger up to the sensor and leave it there while the phone does the rest of the work. As you continue to do this more often, S-Health remembers your history and even goes through the effort of graphing it and offering up other relevant information. It also acts as a pedometer and food monitor. Samsung plans to offer an open SDK for developers to incorporate the tech into their own apps.

Improved Camera
Galaxy S5 comes with a 16-megapixel sensor that features UHD recording capability and real-time HDR (both photos and video) and a couple of new modes that we're excited to review. First, Samsung is introducing a selective focus feature that's much like Nokia's Refocus Lens, in which you can change the depth of field on an image after it's taken. Additionally, it also has "Shot & More," which is essentially your standard suite of best photo, eraser and drama; the Galaxy S4 had the ability to do these modes, but the difficulty was in the fact that you had to know exactly which mode you wanted to use before taking the shot, whereas now you'll be able to sort those details out after the shot is taken so you're not wasting extra time. Lastly, there's also a 2.0-megapixel camera on the front.


Modern User Interface
The design philosophy behind this version of the Galaxy S involves a modern, glam look, and it even shows in the user interface. It's still very much a Touch Wiz device, but it has a much different appearance than previous versions. It seems to be less in-your-face (again, a likely consequence of Google's intervention) with fewer tabs and menus. My Magazine is still around, but it's now accessible by swiping from left to right, not down to up.

Technical Specifications
The rest of the phone's stats won't come as any shock. The GS5 offers
  •  a top-of-the-line 2.5GHz Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM,
  •  an IR remote, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 BLE/ANT+, Cat 4 LTE (up to 150Mbps down/50Mbps up) 
  • and your choice of 16GB or 32GB of internal storage; oddly, 64GB doesn't appear to be an option
  • You can add up to 128GB via a microSD card if needed. All told, it's very much a run-of-the-mill Galaxy S flagship, but there are enough new hardware features and software tweaks to make it feel fresh.



Samsung Galaxy S5 coming soon.


  Samsung has just announced that the Galaxy S5 will be available starting April 11th in 150 countries. 

  However in the US, it'll be available on Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, MetroPCS and U.S. Cellular. 

Retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, RadioShack, Sam's Club, Target and Walmart will have the GS5 plus all three of Samsung's newly announced wearables (Galaxy Gear and Smart watches). As for our friends across the Atlantic, UK providers EE, Three and Vodafone UK have jumped aboard the GS5 bandwagon, as have retailers Phones4u and Carphone Warehouse. Though it hasn't been announced, we expect other carriers such as O2 will support the phone too. No word on pricing just yet, but we expect we'll find that out closer to the phone's April launch date.
