Oppo Find 7 to be one of the first phones with a 2K display

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 07:59 PM PST

Oppo, the company behind awesome products like the Find 5 and N1, has just teased an upcoming feature of its yet-to-be-released Oppo Find 7. The company just confirmed that the Find 7 will sport a 2K display, which makes it one of the world's first devices with a display of such resolution. Oppo seems to be taking the next logical step in displays on smartphones and their ever increasing pixel density. The Oppo Find 5 was one of the first devices to pack a 1080p display and it looks like the Find 7 will be one of the first with a 2K display, which is unique positioning for their new flagship, we think. It has been more than a year since the Find 5 was officially announced. It was showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show & MWC last year and only then were we able to marvel at the 1080p display of the Find 5. We hope that's the same case for the Oppo Find 7. The company hasn't revealed much, but much like its earlier product releases, the teasers on social media are now in full swing. This is the tweet they made on Twitter that features the picture above ...

Notion Ink Adam II Photo Gallery and Hardware Walkthrough

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 02:42 AM PST

We had just unboxed the Notion Ink Adam II, a sequel of the ill-fated original Notion Ink Adam, and found it to be rather surprisingly good in terms of design and build quality. It is a really neat device, and with a price tag of just Rs. 16,999 for the base WiFi version and 18,999 for the 3G version, it is a compelling product in this category. With a textbook like form factor, the Notion Ink Adam II hopes to offer users a natural reading experience, or at least a cheap and affordable 10 inch device. We will be letting you know our complete opinions on this device in our full in-depth review but before that, lets take a photo walkthrough of the Adam II's uniquely designed and build hardware. "It all starts with the book" says the default wall paper. We see what Notion Ink's going for here, with regards to the design philosophy and we like, despite us wanting a smaller form factor of this.   The tablet, meant to be held in portrait, has a large bezel on the left, which packs stereo speakers. the 3.2 MP front facing camera and a microphone, primarily used for video calls.

Notion Ink Adam II Unboxing Notion Ink Adam, the tablet with a tumultuous past had died down after riding the initial hype wave. People called it vaporware due to the massive launch delay, but the tablet did eventually launch, but again, was marred with hardware issues. The company aims to wash away the past with a new refreshed sequel - the Notion Ink Adam II. It has been re-designed from the ground up and it now looks like a text book, which is really interesting. The box and the tablet's default wallpaper says "It all starts with the book!" indicating that a human's tryst with knowledge starts with a book, and may be now, it's with a tablet, especially when the Notion Ink Adam II, which the company hopes, is an evolution of that.

LG G2 to receive Android 4.4 KitKat later this month

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 10:31 PM PST

LG has been a little bit late in bringing software updates to its Android smartphone series, but things seemed to have changed for the South Korean manufacturer. When Google announced their latest and greatest version of Android - 4.4 KitKat in November, few people were ebullient, few were skeptical and a whole lot had only one question - "When is it coming to my phone?". LG G2 is LG's current flagship smartphone and rightly so, LG is giving it the treatment it deserves. Just over a 50 days since the launch of Android 4.4 KitKat, LG are announcing that the Android 4.4 KitKat update will be coming to LG G2 at the end of this month, but only in South Korea for now. Some of the new features that LG G2 will be getting thanks to the Android 4.4 KitKat update include faster performances, cleaner interface, full screen mode for applications, new smarter caller ID and cloud print. The update has been announced only for South Korea right now and the update should roll out to other countries very soon. Google has already updated the latest version twice in the form of minor updates and the latest KitKat version reads Android ...

Google and Apple haven't really considered India as a potential market in the previous years, but things are changing pretty soon as all the products are arriving pretty soon in India. Google launched the latest Nexus 7 2013 sometime in July and the product has been available in India for nearly a month. On the other hand, the iPad mini with Retina display has been just launched.
