CES 2015: LG G Flex 2 is the First Smartphone with Snapdragon 810 Chipset and More


As expected LG has launched its curved
display smartphone LG G Flex 2 at CES 2015
and it is feature loaded to the brim. LG has
taken a huge leap with its second generation
curved surface smartphone but the basics
remain the same.
Besides the dynamic curve, the self healing
technology is now much faster. LG claims
that minor scratches can now heal in just 10
seconds (vs 3 minutes in G Flex). This is
also the first smartphone to feature.
This time the 5.5 Inch curved display has a
more reasonable 1080p full HD resolution
(LG G Flex had a 6 Inch 720p HD display)
which is better suited to this high end
device. The Gorilla Glass 3 on top has been
toughened (LG calls this Dura-Gaurd Glass),
resulting in 30% more durable smartphone.
LG cited the same reasons for why you need
a curved display smartphone after all.
The curved surface makes the phone nicer
to hold against your ears and brings the
microphone closer for better call quality. We
will let you judge if that is convincing
enough.
The full HD resolution and Android 5.0
lollipop based ROM will be fired by 2.0 GHz
64 Bit Octa Core Snapdragon 810 processor
backed by 2 GB DDR4 RAM and 16 GB/ 32
GB expandable storage.
The LG G Flex 2 features a 13.0 MP rear
camera with optical image stabilization (OIS
+), dual-LED two-tone flash , and laser-
guided autofocus, similar to the camera
module in LG G3. A 2.1 MP front camera is
also present which isn’t particularly selfie
focused.
The 3000 mAh battery supports fast charging
and can charge to 50 percent in 40 minutes.
LG has included 3 new gesture controls –
Gesture Shot (for taking selfies), Gesture
View (to view last shot images) and Glance
View (let’s you see notification on lock
screen).
LG G Flex 2 measures 149.1 x 75.3 x 7.1 –
9.4mm and weighs moderate 152 grams.
Other connectivity features include 4G /
LTE / HSPA+ 21/42 Mbps, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/
g/n/ac, Bluetooth Smart Ready (Apt-X) 4.1,
NFC, SlimPort, A-GPS / Glonass, and USB
2.0.

Samsung India Says Sold 1 Million Tizen-Based Z1 Smartphones Since Launch

Image
After making a poor first impression in India since its launch in January, the Samsung Z1 seems to be doing reasonably well. Samsung India Electronics on Tuesday announced that it has sold a 'record' 1 million units of the Tizen-powered smartphone in the country. The company added it managed to achieve this milestone in less than six months since the launch. Samsung Z1 is the company's first smartphone to run on its Tizen operating system. The company has previously used the operating system on its Gear smartwatches, and televisions. Samsung had first unveiled a Tizen-based smartphone in June, the Samsung Z, but never did release it in its launch market in Russia - saying it was indefinitely postponed. Some of the advantages Samsung Z1 gets using the lightweight Tizen OS is a fast boot time, quick access to apps, and fast browser performance using compression. Also featured is a built-in SOS alert system that enables users to reach out for help by pressing the power butt...

Xiaomi vs Micromax: A tale of two smartphone brands

Image
The smartphone market is one of India’s fastest-growing business sector, and an increasing number of consumer electronics brands want a slice of the action. A number of players, both domestic and foreign, have entered this market in recent years with varying degrees of success. There’s no denying that the arrival of Chinese smartphone makers in particular has had a huge impact on domestic brands like Micromax and Intex. Companies that once dominated in terms of market share are now struggling to retain a foothold in this increasingly crowded space. To get a clear idea of how Chinese manufacturers have impacted the Indian smartphone industry, we have compared the market records of leading players from both nations: Xiaomi from China and Micromax from India. According to market research firm IDC, the Redmi Note 4 by Xiaomi was the highest-selling smartphone by volume in the first quarter of 2017, shipping 1.8 million units. It toppled South Korean giant Samsu...

HTC Desire 826 vs HTC Desire EYE: first look

Image
HTC did what it should have a long time ago, and moved its 4 MP UltraPixel snapper at the front, placing a more orthodox 13 MP camera at the rear of the newly-announced Desire 826 . We just took it for a spin, comparing it with HTC's original idea for a selfie-oriented handset, the Desire Eye, and found quite a few differences. Design The phones sport a largely similar design concept, with matte plastic unibodies that are very comfortable to hold, and rounded corners with a colored separation rim around the sides. The Desire 826 is, naturally, the larger, harder to handle phone, due to the increased screen diagonal, but the difference is not that crummy, since both are pretty big phones anyway, thanks to the embedded BoomSound stereo speakers at the front, requiring that you work them with both hands pretty often. The Desire 826 is notably heavier than the Eye, though. Display With a 5.5" 1080p display, the Desire 826 returns a slightly low...
