Notion Ink Adam II Review

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 07:30 PM PST

Notion Ink Adam II Review Notion Ink is a name that most of us remember for various reasons. Some of us remember it for the innovative wannabe product, a world's first Tegra 2 chipset on board with an innovative Pixel Qi dual mode display and a rotating camera, that too way back in 2010 when Android 2.1 was doing the rounds. Some of us remember it for the lengthy delays in production and the overall failure to meet expectations due to sub standard retail hardware and experience. Suffice to say, it was deemed a failure. But the company is now back with another product, the Notion Ink Adam II which was recently released in India for a starting price of Rs. 16,499. We had unboxed it a while back to find out if the device redeems itself from its predecessor's failure. We were initially impressed, but now after about a week of usage, is the Notion Ink Adam II really worth our time and money? We find out in our full review. Unboxing The Adam II comes with a big box with minimal number of components. A surprising addition was the DIY kick stand made of card board, here are the box contents laid ...

Nokia phone codenamed Normandy was expected to be a large-screen Asha phone with the looks of Lumia, but the recent rumors suggested that the Nokia Normandy is an Android smartphone that Nokia is working on, which might be released in 2014. Now evleaks has posted an image of the phone in new colors. The Twitter user has also mentioned the year as 2013 in the tweet, so the phone might not be released since the year is going to end, even though earlier rumors revealed that Nokia is continuing the development of Nokia Normandy in "full steam". The design of the phone is a combination of Asha and Lumia. The phone has a back button, below the screen and also has a micro USB slot on the bottom. As seen in the image above, the phone has volume rocker and the power/lock button on the right side, but the dedicated camera key usually seen on Lumia phones seems to be missing. You can also see a rear camera without flash, and the back cover would obviously be removable. The phone is seen in Green, White, Yellow, Blue, Red and Black colors.
