Hey guys this is Santhosh kumar and I'm writing this with complete gratitude and with immense pleasure.

Yes the big announcement that +OnePlus  made today is that they are getting rid of the invite system they were practicing in order to manage the risks of the new company. Now it's not new.

The company named OnePlus, yet another  installment from China made their company's first smart phone called One. The phone when initially released came with a tagline #TheFlagshipKiller and of course that phone was a real flagship killer providing the performance of a phone that is priced at around 60k for a price of 23k Inr. But India is very price sensitive market and at the same time many people were branding..

This phone just broke the branding prestige thing in the minds of several people and people actually loved the build quality, camera, RAM, and performance for this price.

This phone came to India exclusively via +Amazon India 's online store and used invite system.

The buyer has to have an invite code with him/her to buy the phone. A user cannot buy the phone from OnePlus unless he has an invite code to purchase the phone. This was really frustrating for people who did not have invites. Later last week OnePlus sent emails to top reviewers saying "from now on anything could happen". The CEO of OnePlus teased that they were working on a completely different gadget and the posters hinted the product to be a gaming device. It was almost trending in twitter. Many people though that could be OnePlus Two.

But actually what changed the game is that OnePlus announced that the farewell party is happening to the OnePlus one's invite system. Which means the company is now selling the phones to the users without having the need to have invite codes. Which is awesome. Users can buy the phone whenever they want without the need of an invite.

The company said initially that the company was trying to manage the number of orders for their new device. Because people who got the phones said that the manufactured date of the phone was after the date of placing the order and the package came straight from China. But now the company is selling out the phones to the customers. Maybe the company is preparing to launch the next flagship killer.

Many Nokia Lumia users are facing this weird problem that after a update is installed,the phone restarts and wont bring to the metro screen but would show a sad face and wont be working even when fighting with batteries. To those users, there is a fix given out for the devices.

The problem may cause due to excess memory utilisation preventing the device to switch on.To fix it,perform the following steps:

Step 1

Make sure the charger is disconnected.
1. Switch the power Off.
2. Press and hold the Volume down and connect the charger, if succeed an exclamation mark (!) is shown on the screen.

(To exit press the Volume Down + Power Key and hold them for 10 seconds).

Step 2
Then input Keys in the following order:
1. Volume up
2. Volume down
3. Power
4. Volume down

Step 3
The phone will reset and boot up automatically.

A uni body device is one which is made of a single piece of material,hence, People would not find any detachable parts or screws and non-removable back. Most phones which do freeze/hang make users remove the back cover and reinstall the battery..But what to do if the phones which have non-removable covers are on a freeze or hang. Well here's a solution for the Nokia Lumia uni body Devices:

First of all the freeze may happen due to excessive multitasking or when playing/watching a high quality movie.In order to fix it, uni-body Lumia Devices can be resetted so that the phone restarts and again works like a charm. To do this just hold the down volume button and the power button, press it together and release it when there is a vibration feel. The phone would restart and would show the Nokia Logo.

Note: Soft Reset does not delete any of your data.

Here's a pic guiding you to the process of performing the soft reset.

As per reports, the Nokia EOS, which is Nokia’s much talked about camera phone, is said to be undergoing testing by AT&T with the code name Elvis. While till now no details about the device, especially the camera, are available, rumours claim that the phone may be launched on July 9.

The Nokia EOS, is expected to have a powerful camera like the 41 MP camera of the Nokia 808 PureView. Also considering Nokia’s excellence in low-light photography in the Lumia phones, the EOS should be even better than that.

According to the sources, the Nokia EOS could be comparable to the Nokia Lumia 920 when it comes design, except that the polycarbonate body is highly tapered at both ends, giving the impression of a much slimmer device. Even the screen size and resolution is the same as the Lumia 920.

When it comes to the camera, it is said that there is a sensor bulge which houses the camera and the Xenon flash along with a small red LED which seems to be a focus assist light. Even though the number of pixels are not marked, the flash and lens are both smaller than the Nokia 808 PureView. There is a new camera app called “Nokia Pro Camera” with a completely new interface and manual focus.

Images of an alleged Nokia EOS chassis have leaked from what appears to be a factory, lending some credence to previous rumors of a camera-centric handset from the Finnish outfit. Shots from GSM Arena and others also show what looks like a Nokia Lumia 920, right down to the position of the ports and buttons -- but with an enormous camera bump that takes up almost half of the back cover. So far we've seen it leak out in yellow, red and black, and if it's real, looks to be the holy grail that many Nokia lovers have been seeking: a Lumia 920 and Pureview 808mashup, resulting in a 41-megapixel WP8 handset. All that giddiness aside, such a device could merely be a prototype and will stay a rumor until confirmed by Nokia -- meanwhile, you can check the source and coverage links below for many, many more images, and decide for yourself.

The HTC 8X is one of the recently announced Windows based models in the HTC lineup. The phone runs onWindows Phone 8 OS and it is powered by a 1.5 GHz dual core processor. The phone also incorporates a 1 GB RAM to help in easy multitasking. 

Design 

The HTC 8X weighs about 130 grams and it measures about 10.1 mm thickness. The 4.3-inch S-LCD2 display screen of the phone provides HD visuals at a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. The display screen of the handset is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2. 

Features 

The 8 MP primary camera present in the HTC 8X can be used for clicking pictures. Users can record HD videos at 1080p. The phone also features a 2 MP secondary camera for making video calls. The 1800 mAh battery loaded in the phone offers sufficient talk time and standby time. The phone only has 16 GB internal memory. This cannot be expanded further. 

Entertainment features present in the phone include music player, video player, social networking apps and games etc. High speed internet is possible through 3G and Wi-Fi. 2G internet is also available through GPRS and EDGE. Many other high end features are also available in this Windows based smartphone. 

This feisty firecracker from Nokia is set to re-define the budget smartphone market and expectation. Here are top 10 reasons why

Nokia Asha 501 has created nothing short of a stir in the budget smartphone market in India. Priced at a mere Rs 5,300 the smartphone boasts of the same colorful vibrancy seen in the high-end Lumia range, the familiar functionality of the N9 with impressive features and add-ons like updated version of the Nokia Xpress browser, free Facebook, 40 free EA games, incredible battery life of 48 days in standby and 17 hours of talk time and much more.

1. Design

One of the key features that strikes you first about a smartphone is its built quality. Getting attractive built for a budget phone can be tricky, but Nokia with Asha 501 pulls it through - and quite well we must add. The device boasts of high-end design and quality and comes in two parts: a durable, removable casing and the scratch-resistant glass display, which features a 3-inch, capacitive touchscreen and a single 'back' button. Weighing just 98 grams, Asha 501 brings the ultimate portability, you can possibly imagine. To top it on, the device is available in a rainbow of rich colors including - yellow, cyan, green, blue, red and white to complement the ergonomic design. Did we mention the cool red headphones in the box!

2. Nokia Asha platform

The latest Asha platform is quite revolutionary as it is not only faster, more responsive but also very flexible. This gives it adequate space to add new features and functionalities with future updates. Also popular applications are already available or in development for the Nokia Asha platform, including CNN, eBuddy, ESPN, Facebook, Foursquare, Line, LinkedIn, Nimbuzz, Pictelligent, The Weather Channel, Twitter, WeChat, World of Red Bull and games from Electronic Arts, Gameloft, Indiagames, Namco-Bandai and Reliance Games.

3. Micro-SIM

The Asha 501 is the first Nokia device at this price to feature a micro-SIM. In addition its also comes in a single-SIM variant and a Dual-SIM version with Nokia’s unique Easy-Swap SIM technology, which allows people to switch SIM cards without having to power off the device.

4. User Experience

The latest Asha offering brings easy access to consumers via Home and Fastlane. The first 'Home' screen, is the traditional icon-based view used for launching apps and accessing phone settings or others. The twist comes with the addition of the new 'Fastlane'. A update on your past, present and future, the 'Fastlane', is a record keeper of how the phone is used and also helps you multi-task by providing easy access to favorite features. Another feature which we like is the ease with which you can close a app - a simple swipe. yup that's it.

5. Nokia Xpress Now

The Nokia Asha 501 comes preloaded with Nokia Xpress Browser which basically compresses Internet data by up to 90% making mobile browsing faster and more affordable. The company has also announced the availability of Nokia Xpress Now, a updated version of the Nokia Xpress browser which brings content based on location, preferences and trending topics while taking care of affordability that is valued by price-conscious buyers.

6. Battery

The Asha 501 boasts of a standby time of up to 48 days, 17 hours of talk time and 56 hours of music playback  - which is best in the industry and quite spectacular for a $99 priced device.

-Single SIM standby time: up to 48 days
- Dual SIM standby time: up to 26 days

7. Free Facebook

Free Facebook - it doesn't get any better for the social networking addicts! Now you can enjoy the experience for longer without worrying about data charges.

Airtel will offer data-free access to the standalone Facebook app, as well as the mobile site m.facebook.com. By the end of second quarter, current Airtel subscribers will be able to enjoy unlimited, data-free access to Facebook from their Nokia Asha 501 for a limited period of time.

8. HERE experience

Based on Nokia's leading location-based platform, the HERE experience will also be available on Nokia Asha 501. Starting in third quarter, it will include basic mapping services in the beginning and graduate to including other services.

9. EA Games

For the gaming lovers, the device bundles up forty free EA Games which are downloadable from Nokia Store.

10. Price

Priced at Rs 5300, the Nokia Asha 501 truly stretches the definition of what a budget phone is and raises the bar for what is possible in affordable smartphone.

While Nokia has been slowing down in Indian smartphone markets with the unabated rise of Samsung, the company seems to have some plans to revive itself in the country.

Barely a month after the Nokia Lumia 925 was launched globally, the smartphone has made a guest appearance on the official Nokia India website. While India was not on the first list of countries to see the Nokia Lumia 925, we were pleasantly surprised to see the device listing. Unfortunately the price in India was not mentioned.

In the meanwhile, the Nokia Lumia 920, which was launched a few months back in India, has received a hefty price cut. The device which was launched at Rs. 38199 is now priced at Rs. 32639 on the manufacturer’s website. Seems like the company is trying to make way for the new devices to enter the country. Also the company is throwing in a free wireless charger, priced at Rs 3,000, with the handset.

While the Galaxy S4 Mini has been leaked several times already, we finally have managed to get the detailed specs of the device along with the final launch date.

According to AnTuTu reports revealed on a German site, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini with model number GT-I9195 was spotted at the benchmarking site. While we already knew about the 4.3 inch display with 960 x 540 pixels resolution, the results reveal that the device would be powered by a 1.7 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor along with 1.5 GB of RAM.

Also the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will have two cameras – an 8 MP rear camera and a 2.1 MP front facing camera. It’s no surprise that the device runs on the latest Android Jelly Bean OS. As per reports, the device will be launched at the upcoming Samsung Premier 2013 scheduled on 20 June.

Expected specs of Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini:

·         4.3 inch qHD Super AMOLED display

·         960 x 540 pixels resolution

·         1.7 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor

·         Adreno 305 GPU

·         1.5 GB RAM

·         8 MP rear camera

·         2.1 MP front facing camera

·         Google Android v4.2.2 Jelly Bean

Nokia have released their new phone – ‘Nokia C5-03‘ at MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2011. But what’s so specific in it that it has 600 MHz processor ? I mean every S60V5 phone now has processors of 434 MHz. It’s so common now that S60V5 phone having a processor of 434 MHz like Nokia 5800, 5233 have become less popular and most of the people have it. Nothing new in that. But the thing which makes Nokia C5-03 a better phone is, ‘The ARM 11 600 MHz processor & 128 MB RAM' and the fun part is you can over clock your processor to 1.2 GHz. I'll release the particular patch in upcoming posts on C5-03. High camera Performance of 5MP and resolution 2592х1944 pixels with Carl Zeiss optics. The large sensor enables pixel oversampling, which means the combination of many pixels into one perfect pixel. Nokia C5-03 is the first S^1 device.
