Oppo Unveils The Limited Gold Edition Of Their R5 Handset In India

 Oppo R5 was the thinnest smartphone in the world when it was launched back in October. This device launched alongside Oppo’s current N3 flagship. The R5 si currently the third thinnest smartphone in the world, with Coolpad Ivvi K1 Mini and Vivo X5 Max being slightly thinner than Oppo’s offering, we’re talking about 0.15mm here. 

Oppo India has unveiled the Gilded Limited Edition Oppo R5 which sports a gold frame. There are only 10,000 of these units available on a global scale, hence the “limited” tag. “This phone has been developed with the end user in mind. We used cutting edge manufacturing techniques to create a phone that fits perfectly into the users’ hands, and that feels incredible. The gold frame has been forged nine times and then finished by hand to give a perfect sheen and feel. It has a quality that is not available anywhere else in the industry. The R5, like the rest of the R series delivers a truly stylish, exquisite and distinctive design and will continue to delight our customers with its innovative yet practical functions,” said Tom Lu, CEO of Oppo India.

The specifications of this handset are unchanged compared to the regular variant. We’re looking at a 5.2-inch 1080p (1920 x 1080) AMOLED display here, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. This device is powered by Qualcomm’s 64-bit Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor which ships with an Adreno 405 GPU for graphics. Android 4.4 KitKat comes pre-installed here with Oppo’s Color OS 2.0 on top of Google’s operating system. 13-megapixel snapper is located on the back of this device (Sony’s IMX214 sensor, Schneider lens) and is flanked by an LED flash, while there’s a 5-megapixel snapper available up front. As far as connectivity goes, this device offers both 3G and 4G connectivity, along with Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and NFC. 2,000mAh battery comes with this device as well, and it takes advantage of Oppo’s VOOC Rapid Charge technology.

This device is priced at Rs. 29,990 ($483) in India, and will be available across India starting from 20th February, you’ll have to pre-register for the device before you buy it though.

LG G Flex 2

Curved phones are not so common in our life. Have you ever seen anyone using a curved phone. The last few curved phones are absolute failures. Lg's g flex was one of them,despite its high end specs and curvature.

Thankfully, LG's turned its game around. The G flex 2 is certainly a step in the right direction with its 64-bit processor and 1080p P-OLED display.

The second-generation G Flex 2 is a massive improvement over its predecessor. Whereas the G Flex was a ginormous curved phablet, the G Flex 2 is merely a “bent” version of LG’s flagship, the G3. Its smaller size makes it easier to wield, too, and the mid-chassis curve makes it comfortable to hold up to your ear for phone calls or to type out replies to long text messages. Its plastic backside is “self healing,” meaning whenever the back of the phone endures a minor scratch, it immediately repairs itself. LG improved upon this technology so that it heals faster than its predecessor.Overall, the G Flex 2 is stylish.

Like its chassis, the G Flex 2’s 5.5-inch P-OLED display is all plastic. The 1080p display is a big improvement over the 720p display of the G Flex—it has a much higher pixel density of 403 pixels-per-inch (compared to 245 pixels-per-inch on the G Flex). You don’t typically need much more than that on a smartphone, anyway.
Your smartphone is typically the device that’s always with you, so it should have a very capable camera. The G Flex 2 is a worthy player in this department. Its 13-megapixel rear-facing camera sensor is a souped-up version of the G3’s, though its flagship counterpart performed better in some instances.The G Flex 2’s camera sensor performed particularly well in well lit situations, though you could see it start to struggle in low-light situations. It wasn’t too good about capturing foggy days either, and the flash took about two whole seconds to calibrate before it fired.

If you like what you see, you should seriously consider giving the G Flex 2 a try. It’s a massive improvement over its predecessor, and this second-generation phone sets the precedent for what curved phones should be. They should be both high quality and comfortable to hold, with features that mirror those of other flagship phones. Curved phones shouldn’t be just niche devices, but a merely another design option.
I was thinking about our life with curved phones. How it will feel when you put a curved phone into your pocket. Well it will take some time to get used to of this new curved device.
So best of luck to LG for its new smartphone..

Sony Xperia Z4

The latest buzz in the online world is the much speculated Xperia Z4 smartphone from the house of Sony. And by the looks of it, it’s going

to be a beauty of a device boasting of unheard of specs  and matching good looks. Now let us have a detailed look on what the buzz surrounding the Sony Xperia Z4 is, and much more.

Xperia Z4 Specifications: 4K screen, 5.2 inches display,and much more

Many specifications of the Xperia Z4 are being highly rumored on the internet, leaving gadget freaks, Android fanatics and technology enthusiasts in general on the edge of their seats. This has given rise to several rumored specifications which the Xperia Z4 might have.  Some of the hottest and juiciest rumored specs are listed below.

1. Brilliant 5.2″ display: If rumors are to be believed, the Sony Xperia Z4 will sport an amazing 5.2 inch screen, which could easily be the best display used till date in any smartphone. It could use an ultra HD 4K resolution display, which is four times as rich as a full HD 1080p display. Adding to this ultra crisp resolution, the Sony Xperia Z4 is also believed to have a scratch-proof Corning Gorilla Glass 3, for ruggedness.
2. Highly waterproof(upto 100m): We saw it recently with the Galaxy S5, and the Xperia Z4 is supposedly going to take waterproof to a new level. It is expected to have an IP68 standard for water and dust resistance, which means the Z4 will be easily protected by water splashes, and even on deep sea diving upto 100 meters. It is also expected to be highly dustproof and heatproof.
3. Fingerprint scanner: As security of sensitive data on smartphones is of prime importance, keeping this issue in mind, the Sony Xperia Z4 could most definitely have a fingerprint scanner/sensor for securely locking and unlocking the phone, using unique prints of your finger. This feature has been coming as a standard feature on recent high end smartphones as well, such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Apple iPhone 5s.
4. Massive 5000 mAh battery:  Never run out of juice even on the use of the most heavy duty apps and graphics intensive games, with the large 5000 mAh battery on the Xperia Z4. Due to this large capacity, the battery should be a non-removable one.
5. 27 MP Camera with G+ Sensor:  Sony has always been well known for the amazing cameras it uses in its premium smartphones, and the Xperia Z4 should continue this legacy, with a mind blowing 27 MP camera, capable of recording ultra HD quality videos and life-like pictures, and will also have integrated editing features within the stock camera app. The back panel of the Xperia Z4 will also house a brilliant dual  LED flash. For video calls and Skype conversations, the Z4 will also expectedly have a 10 MP HD front camera. 

Sony Xperia Z4 Price:The price of a flagship phone is one of the most important factors in the purchase of a phone, and if a consumer pays a high price for a phone, he will naturally expect it to be value for money. Although there has been no word of confirmation on the price of the Xperia Z4 from Sony or any other source, if rumors on gadget forums are to believed, the Sony Xperia Z4 could be priced at around $1250, or 75000 INR.

 Sony Xperia Z4 Release Date: 

Sony Xperia Z4 release date in USA:  September 2015

Sony Xperia Z4 release date in India: October/Late September 2015
