Windows 10: All that has come out now!

So yes! It's all true and the Windows 10 is all set to become Microsoft's latest OS. According to reports, this will be a free upgrade for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users! That's great news! We have got a lot of screen shots and a lot of information to show you and get you updated in the Windows 10. There have been a lot of speculations! Here are a few glimpses of them!
Some awesome ones are: 

  •  New finger gestures
  • Task View
  • Nearly 7000 improvement and fixes!


Cortana is COMING!
Yes! The 'personal assistant' which works with your voice came with the 8.1 and is now coming for 10 as well! Cortana is one of the best voice assistants and Microsoft has done a really great job there. On phones, it reminds you and traffic alerts at perfect times and now it comes to PCs too!

IE is now Spartan!
Spartan is a new lightweight and fluid browser. It includes awesome features like snipping stuff to OneNote and annotating a web page. 

Better Xbox
Box is also refined in this OS. New features have been added and a new look is given as well. Connecting with friends and viewing your achievements is now made easier. The UI looks cool and nice!
Windows 8 received a mixture of responses. The mobile version wasn't bad and the 8.1 update to PCs was good. Now the Start screen may not occupy the full screen but it might o so if you wish. The Free update is the best thing!  The Action center will be a major thing too!Loads of bug fixes and a lot of other improvments like you can now view store apps in a non full screen window as well! We have also got loads of pics for you! Of course the Technical preview is coming: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/preview-iso
A new OS!
The refined start!

What to expect: Galaxy S6

After all the S6 rumors, here are my thoughts upon what to expect from the Galaxy S6. According to some websites, the S6 may well reach us this March or Feb. With Samsung getting a lot of phones (A3, A5, A7, J1, Z1), we might well expect the S6 some time later. From it's predecessors, I have something to expect from this one. Let us look on what this is.
We will take a few aspects of the phone and discuss them in order.
(These are not any leaks but just some thoughts and expectations)

Body Design
Like all phones I would expect a single metal uni body structure and dread a plastic back. A tight and cool metal band will be awesome! Meanwhile, I would just want the speaker at the top because the bottom one kinda disturbs while holding it landscape. 

Display
There aren't much problems with the previous Full HD AMOLED display at all and high resolution one is confirmed. We might expect a QHD maybe. But I just hope they don't blow the size too much that it turns into a Nexus 7 or something(7"). Though a bigger size may not always mean a bigger phone but if you see it's previous versions, they are keen on making it bigger. As far as the Bezels are concerned, they shouldn't make it zero which may result in increased damages. It will be awesome if they bring the Edge Display here too because it was awesome with the Note Edge. They might release another version of it, maybe!

Camera
This area has also not been of much problem in it's predecessors. A light camera with ability to record 4K videos(more then 8MP maybe) will be perfect. Increased MP might mean increased size of your pictures so they must take care to limit it too. The speed of taking pictures has also not been a big concern so far.

Internals
They might think to take on the Snaspdragon 801. RAM will be perfect between 3 gigs and 4 maybe. Whatever they bring in, they mustn't compromise on the Quality! The phone must be sturdy if it's too big. 

Software
I got this weird idea that they might power the S6 with Tizen. But I guess it will be mostly Lollipop from Android. Hope they also don't compromise on Updates.

Xiaomi's Note and Note Pro are finally here!

Xiaomi has announced two new high end phones,the Note and its higher version, the Note Pro. These two are beasts according to their specs and are regarded like a more sleek iPhone 6. These phones present a very sleek and thin design.
Specifications
They both feature a 5.7" display. The Note has a 1080p display and its elder brother,the Pro version sports a 1440p. The screens both present a beautiful picture to the phone. These high end phones boost the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801. One major difference between the two is that the lower Note supports 3 gigs of RAM while the Pro supports 4 gigs. They both are powered by a 3000mAh battery that is sure to last quite long. As far as the camera department is concerned, a 13 MP rear camera is accompanied by a 4 MP front selfie camera.
Overall Good one.
The specs make the phone look extremely good. This phone might well on prove to be the company's best and important phone as its sales begin. Its been a rain of phones since this year started with some really good phones out now. Thanks for reading and keep reading cuz readers are winners.

Don't know what exactly this is... about releasing a new phone every month or so.... So yes the new phones from samsung will feature its own Os called Tizen. According to reports, a low end phone called the Z1 with a 4" screen, 1500mAh battery and 3 MP camera is one along with another phone called Z which will have a 4.8" Super Amoled display powered by a Quad core processor and relatively higher end specs. The Z1 might reportedly hit Indian shores to compete with other feature smart phones in the growing market.  Please note that they are accoring to some reports only. Tizen might be an interesting one in contrast to  Touchwiz, an android skin which is considered 'heavy'. These are the first informations we got and we might get further. Looks like there are gonna be another bunch os phones from Samsung in the near future. Thanks fir reading and keep reading cuz readers are winners

Camera
The font one is a 13 MP camera and the front one comes with a 5 MP sensor. The front camera includes options like Ultra Wide shot mode and an Auto selfie mode as well! LED flash is also to be mentioned.

Processor
It comes equipped with a two separate Quad core processor system which is clocked at 1.3 Ghz. I guess that will be suitable for the specs of this phone!

The Asus Zenfone Zoom: All you need to know.

The Asus Zenfone Zoom was announced at the Asus press conference at the CES 2015 in Las Vegas. As the name suggests, this phone has something big to offer in the zoom dept. We will have a good look on the phone first and check out the 'Zoom'. 

Display

This one sports a 5.5" display which has around a density of 403 ppi which is quite good if you ask me.  It also has a 1080 x 1920 display. Supports Multi touch and 16M color depth display.


Camera 

When I tell picture... I remember about the camera dept. The 13MP camera along with the 5MP secondary one come packed with really good image processors. With Dual color real tone flash, Optical image stabilization and an 88 degree viewing angle for the front camera, this phone has a really good camera department. This might come in real handy for mobile photographers. Let us see what more the camera has to offer from this phone!

The Zoom

The Zoom offers 3x 10 element along with awesome image stabilization. The focusing technology and improved aperture will boost your photo's quality as well. Asus also says the Focus quality will be better. Camera modes include Low light photography, HDR(high Dynamic Range) and Enhancing Mode.
According to Asus on it's web, 'ZenFone Zoom is engineered to embed 10-element lenses for 3X Optical Zoom while still keep the device as thin as 11.95mm. It's the world's thinnest 3X optical smartphone offering up to 12X zoom-in effect'.
That's exactly what the Zenfone 'Zoom' thing is about! Though it can Zoom upto 12x with 3x Optical Zoom, your phone won't get thicker which still makes it feel good in the hands! 

Software
It runs Android 5.0 Lollipop. This is going to be perfectly accompanied by it's Awesome hardware.

Phone Internals

With the 3000 mAh battery, it also sports the Intel Atom Z3580 chip set with a Quad core processor clocked at 2.3 Ghz. All these specs pose a very good picture. 

Overall good phone with it's awesome camera sensors. It seems to be considerably thin though. One of the most awesome phones from Asus. Thanks for reading and Keep reading cuz readers are winners!

According to Gartner, growth in tab sales likely to be slow.

The growth will not be the same from the last four years, the company said. I find this new interesting because we have seen so many awesome tabs come up near the end of last year like the Nexus 9, iPad Air and the Nokia N1. Such news show that people might actually want another change in the tab market now. With phones nearly getting bigger, of course phones might take the upper hand there isn't any difference. The main reason why I think people buy tabs is for the big screen sizes they boast but the larger phone which mostly now have come into more that about 5" , will make tabs a thing to be thought upon for consumers! Another reason may be due the better quality of tabs in the higher end and I would say there aren't any charming ones in the lower range. People might question about what tabs offer more than phones and having a other device when you are travelling or something. We still don't know what's to come in this year cuz this year has barely started. Let us wait and watch and Keep reading cuz readers are of course, winners!

2015 and How I wish Smart phones to be...

Differentiating Specs to Real Quality.


There of course has been a great change in the smart phone industry, but we must never forget there is always room for improvement. Even Low Budget phones now boost huge and awesome technical specs, but the question I have is do they really offer awesome quality for the hardware and bug-free environments? I am a great fan of 'nice solid builds' and awesome quality even for relatively small specs. If You ask me, I would say I actually don't care much about whether it has a 20MP or 16MP camera. As long as the quality is good 5MP is OK with me. I don't mean to say Mega Pixels don't matter but I wish to say the quality of the High end specs to be good as well. I have seen many people fall for pretty high end specs but fail to check on quality. When buying a phone, I would strongly ask all of you not to compromise on quality. That defines the nature and the time your phone is going to work for. I don't mean to SAY SPECS DON'T MATTER AT ALL. But I mean to say Specs don't make up everything. Another thing I like in some phones is the High end premium feel you get immediately when you hold it and use it. The smooth performance of animations and high frame rate games work perfectly along with good internet connectivity features. 

All our specs has definitely reached a height but the performance is the question. You might have heard about the battery life of old button phones and the new phones. I agree the huge displays and processor eat up energy, but you still have to compromise a little bit on battery life. I would like that thing a lot more better in the coming years! When speaking about quality, the iPhones immediatly come to my head. Whether you don't like 'i' Stuff or not I am sure they do offer a lot of quality. The quality is extremely good there. Samsung... Ok does offer really good phones like the Note 4, the Alpha but when I am using a S3, I sometimes find the call quality a little bit low. I don't know why. 

Another company which has great quality even in low end phones are the Nokia phones. I love their performance even in low budget phones. Not to forget Windows, It also offers extremely awesome UI for daily use!
Speaking of 2015, I wish to see a lot more good quality phones to be released. Real quality which will actually improve performance even over a lot of time. I don't criticize the existing quality but I want a bit more since there is always room for improvement. 
Rising companies like Xiaomi, Oppo and all those can bring a lot more into their quality dept. to attract more and more consumers! They have a lot of potential! 
So, hoping to see a lot more of the 'above kind' this year. Also Happy New Year!  Keep reading cuz readers are winners! Wait for another awesome post which is coming up shortly.
