The largest of Nokia's first generation of Android smartphones has just been unleashed. The big but budget-friendly Nokia XL can now be purchased in markets across Asia-Pacific, India, Middle East, and Africa.
That Nokia would out an Android smartphone was already an expected surprise but most probably did not expect that it would actually reveal more than one. Among its siblings, the Nokia XL, as the name would seem to imply, is indeed the biggest. But deep inside it is pretty much the same as the Nokia X. For one, you have the same 1 GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor running inside. RAM is just a tad higher at 768 MB versus the 512 MB of the Nokia X. You also have the same 4 GB internal storage limitation. Both also sport dual SIM card slots.
There are, of course, considerable differences. For one, the Nokia XL has a larger 5.0-inch screen, though it has the same 800x480 resolution. It also has a front-facing camera, a 2 megapixel one, which makes the smartphone suitable for tasks such as video chats. Otherwise you still get everything that one might like, or dislike, in the Nokia X, including the unique Fastlane user interface, the Windows 8-like home screen, Nokia's own set of Android apps, and, of course, the lack of Google Play Store.
Of course, one of the biggest selling points of this device is the price tag. The Nokia XL will sell for only €109, around $152. Those who will be buying one will get to choose from lively color options of Bright Green, Orange, Cyan, and Yellow, as well as your usual choices of Black or White.

Hi, I am off to China for a short holiday in a fortnight, and was thinking of buying a mobile phone while I'm there. China is like the Burgess shale of mobile phones, with hundreds of form factors, operating systems and features, most of which will become extinct in what seems like a few months!
Anyway, I was looking on eBay (as usual) for a preview of what to get and encountered 3 Windows Mobile 5 phones. I was wondering whether anyone has any experience with these devices, and whether they are any good. They are all pretty cheap, and no doubt even cheaper in China!
I think this is called the V111:

This one is the "Hoilday Q9" (how cute!):
And this one is the Hauyu P30:
Edit: I just had to post this bonus - a phone which looks like an HTC Herald/P4350, but which fails by not actually running Windows Mobile!
Check this out.....The Asus P750 available in Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?action=expand,56871
The Asus looks really, really nice, but what I'm looking for is a really cheap phone from one of the less reputable brands. I used to use two HTC Phones (a Magician and a Universal) but currently have a Ubiquio 501 (for me it is the perfect balance of size and functionality) so I'm not averse to experimenting a little on gadget paths less well-trodden.
When you really get down to it virtually all WinMo phones are made in China/Taiwan. I'm just wondering whether, in the perceived lack of quality control from unknown brands, any of these are actually any good!

The Taiwanese manufacturer today released an official teaser for the device-within-a-device, boasting its display, processor, economical benefits, and impressive battery life.
For those who may have missed the specs sprinkled throughout the promo, here's what we know so far:
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor at 1.5GHz
4.3" Super AMOLED qHD display (the tablet features a 10.1" display, no word on resolution)
8MP rear shooter (featuring a 5-element f/2.2 lens)
Stylus/Headset accessory
Over 14,000mAh battery power between the pad, phone, and dock
Overall, the PadFone is still looking like a pretty intriguing device. Despite the fact that the video seems to have hit a speed-bump in editing (the entire sequence repeats itself sans audio), it still provides viewers with an official piece of media to confirm that the device is still coming. The release of an official promo could also mean that we're due for more information any time now. Source : AndroidPolice
At any rate, it will be interesting to see whether ASUS' unquestionably novel device can pull off the concept of a phone-powered tablet without coming off as merely a gimmick.
I just want to know a price on this. And what service providers the phone part is compatible with.

The first pictures of what we are expecting to be the LG Nexus (LG-E960) appeared giving us a glimpse of what Google has in store for November. Many of you were quick to point out the case surrounding it that seemed to be some sort of a dummy box, meant to disguise the device. Previous rumors had stated that the device actually looked more like a Galaxy Nexus in shape and size.
LG Nexus phone that the internet can’t stop talking about, and according to an XDA user, this is that same phone. He hasn’t said much about it’s origin other than a “random source” gave it to him and that it seems like a prototype.
As we can see from the pictures, it’s running stock Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) and carries the codename Mako. In the past, Nexus devices all hid under fish names until they were released, so this at least looks good for the sake of this being a Nexus. The shape and styling are as plain black as you can get, but it does have on-screen navigation keys, something Google introduced to smartphones with the Galaxy Nexus.
Other than that, we have a couple of side shots that show a volume rocker and power switch on opposite sides of one another. We can see a camera with a flash on the back side and an LG boot animation (which is odd if this is a Nexus).
From the About screen, we can see that the device is running JellyBeanMR1 and goes by the codename Mako, just like the device from earlier. The camera on the back isn’t branded with 8MP or 13MP, but we are expecting it to be one or the other, just like in the two Optimus G variants..
What do you guys think? Liking? Hating?

The device is possibly set to arrive in at least two flavours, according to multiple reports: one plastic, the other metal. It will also pack in all the latest hardware and technology, so don’t be surprised to find at least 3GB of RAM, a 2K resolution display, a completely re-worked exterior design and a fresh lick of paint on the custom TouchWiz UI.
Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 805 chipset is likely to feature in the UK version, while Galaxy S5 units bound for Asia are said to benefit from Samsung’s own 64-bit Exynos 6 CPU. With regards to a launch date it’s looking increasingly likely Samsung will launch the device at a London event in March, though there are still plenty of eyes on Mobile World Congress (MWC) for the end of February.
That’s a brief summary, however, so read on to find out all the juicy details about the Samsung Galaxy S5.
Chinese site Tencent is reporting the company aims to lose its super AMOLED display but it is based on “unconfirmed information.” That information does suggest though that Sharp is going to provide 5.25-inch 2K Ultra HD LTPS displays which have a higher pixel density of 560 pixels-per-inch (ppi).

OS: Android 4.4.2
CPU: MTK6592M
Display: 5-inch, QHD
RAM: 1GB
ROM: 8GB
Camera: 5MP/8MP
Battery: 2100mAh
The phone feels very thin and light. It's edges are made from plastic but deliver a feel of metal like iPhone 5. It's battery is long and narrow, and its SIM and TF slots lives to the right of the battery rather than on the top as in most other phones. Such a design may leave better space for circuits to get through and be good for the cooling of components.
I got the chance to have just a look at the the sample, and when it is avaiable for me again. i'll make a detailed review. And there are some photos about the Neon N2Q i took my own phone.
I've had this phone in for reviewing purposes and wrote a full review here. Axgio Neon N2Q Review
It's an interesting smartphone for just $110. I actually only disliked the camera and the screen resolution could have been a bit better. Overall quite okay especially considering the price.

yep, the camera is not good. About the display resolution, yes, it's low, but meanwhile, it can be easily drived by the not-so-snappy MTK6592M, so when the N2Q runs some demanding games like real racing 3 or Asphalt 8, it handles quite gracefully.
