We are now on android platform.
The much-awaited and much-delayed HTC flagship is still not showing signs of being actually available. But those who have waited for over a month since the handset’s ‘launch’ will be pleased to know that Flipkart has put the phone on pre-order.
Micromax has quietly launched a quad-core version of its ultrapopular A110 Canvas 2 smartphone. The A110Q Canvas 2 Plus is currently available through the company’s website for Rs 12,100.
Neither Babble nor Babel, Google has finally named its much-talked about cross-platform messaging app as Hangouts. By the look of it, Hangouts appears to be a perfect combo of Google’s cool communication features, all brought under one roof. With the likes of iMessage, WhatsApp, Skype and several other instant/social messaging apps, though late, the company has given its messaging platform a much-needed facelift. Basically, Google has merged its key communication channels such as Google+ Hangouts, Voice, Google Talk and the Google+ Messenger. Here’s a quick look at what Google’s new unified cross-messaging platform is all about.
Microsoft has unveiled its next-gen console—dubbed the Xbox One. Instead of just specialising in gaming, however, the company has gone for an all-in-one approach with features on the new console aimed at taking over the living room instead of just offering a gaming machine. The Xbox One was unveiled during an event held by Microsoft last night.
Bigger than the Note but not as bright. Not saying anything. We wouldn't want to get this guy upset. So, careful with the F-word. And no, not phablet, obviously. Though at 8mm, the Samsung Galaxy Mega technically isn't fat.
There has been no such thing as size limit for Samsung but is the Galaxy Mega 6.3 already pushing it too far? The massive 6.3" screen puts the bigger one of the Mega brothers well into the upper range of phablets and almost into tablet territory.
i’m Watch is much more than a watch. It’s a latest generation device that makes the most of your smartphone. With i’m Watch you can leave the phone in your pocket, in your purse or on your desk. Starting from Rs. 13999.00.
Google‘s I/O event might not start until tomorrow, but a few goodies have already made their way to the surface tonight, including an updated Google Play Store that is rolling out to users now. With the update comes a handful of changes that were both needed and a long time coming, and that aside there are a bunch of features added to the Google Play Services framework. We’ve got a rundown after the jump, as well as download links.
Announced alongside the Facebook Home launcher, the HTC First for AT&T is the first smartphone to feature the social network's Android add-on out of the box. Launching a dedicated "Facebook phone" isn't an unfamiliar affair for HTC - back in 2011, the Taiwanese manufacturer released the Salsa and ChaCha duo of entry-level devices.

BlackBerry has announced a new phone at its BlackBerry Live event. The handset – dubbed the Q5 – is a mid-end smartphone with a touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard. The handset is aimed towards emerging markets. It will be available in red, white, black and pink colour options.
We didn’t see this one coming. While most people were under the impression that BlackBerry Live 2013 would be a low-key affair, the company has just delivered a one-two punch that could propel the brand and the BB10 platform forward.
Right at the end of a nearly two-hour-long keynote, Thorsten Heins broke the news that BBM is leaving the BlackBerry stables and will be launching on Android and iOS in the coming months. Users on iOS 6 or higher, and 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher will be able to download the BBM app for free and join in on one of the most popular messaging experiences in the world.

BlackBerry's upcoming QWERTY smartphone, the Q10, is now available for pre-booking on SnapDeal. The website, though, doesn't reveal any new information, such as the actual price of the handset. To pre-book the device, you have to pay Rs 1,000 in advance, and then pay the rest when the smartphone is launched. The closest thing we have to a launch date at the moment is a vague mention of it being some time during the fourth week of May.
If you've been paying attention - and we know you have - there's no way you couldn't have noticed that for a good ten days or so we've all been on and on about two phones. Now, we're about to make it three but don't expect anything radically different.
No sharp turns ahead, at least for another while. Android is where all the worthwhile action is these days. Just out of a clash with the HTC One, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is about to fight it out with another spotlight-stealer. To be fair, and respectful of chronology, it's the Sony Xperia Z that has been waiting to finally meet its match.
OK, occasions like this are an invitation to dwell on the inevitable. When two impressive smartphones in the Sony Xperia Z and the Samsung Galaxy S4 are about to cross paths, it's not just a sequence of events - it's fate.
The Samsung Galaxy S phenomenon keeps getting bigger with every passing year ever since it was launched in 2010. Each iteration of the Galaxy S series has been an incremental update of its previous generation and that trend continues to date. Three things that have stayed pretty much the same in these three years has been AMOLED displays, TouchWiz and Samsung’s love for plastic and faux metal trimmings. If you’ve used any of Samsung’s flagships in the past, you’ll be right at home with the new S4. We quite liked the handset during our brief encounter with it a few weeks back and after using it for about a week, we have come to like it even more. So how does the S4 fit in with the rest of the flagships? Let’s find out.
We kick-start our summer desktop PC buying guide with building a basic yet powerful desktop. We could have started off with an ultra-low budget PC which would have been good enough for Internet surfing but why build an entire PC for that price, when a tablet or even your smartphone would suffice. If all you want to do is browse the Internet, then a tablet makes more sense. The PC we’ll be building today will cost you about the same as a Sony Xperia SP but only more powerful.
It took some time but Sony had the big comeback many have been waiting for. The Xperia Z is selling well and we suspect it's been the driver for turning the company's fortunes around in the first quarter of the year. It's now time to carry that momentum over to the midrange and the Xperia SP looks like the right phone for the job.
Another iteration of the addictive Angry Birds game has hit smartphones. Angry Birds Friends, the newest game, is more or less like the previous ones, wherein you have to fling birds to destroy pigs. While the gameplay may remain pretty much the same, the game now comes with a new, interactive social angle. It tracks and stacks up your score against friends via Facebook. You get to compare and pit your score against other players of every platform the game is available on. This means, players on Facebook, iOS and Android can judge each other’s score. The new version is free on both platforms.
If you all are really anxious for the fruits of Twitter, so here it has made it fun! The main root of the app will be the concentration on the music discovery, suggesting tunes and artists based on various factors, including who you follow on a certain social network. The firms like Soundcloud, iTunes and Vevo will make it huge probably when it comes to music and video playback, though the app won't be a digital music store. Although the app is made only for iPhone yet, but it is available on web as well.
Zync has launched a new budget tablet that is sure to turn heads. The Quad 9.7 has a very impressive feature-set boasting of being equipped with an IPS display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels – almost equivalent to Apple’s latest iPad, which sports the same resolution. The Quad 9.7 tablet runs on a quad-core processor and is as slim as an iPad 2; it even looks like the latter. But does it perform as well as it sounds on paper?
