Motorola to launch new Moto X ‘late summer’, smartwatch coming this year

Motorola to launch new Moto X ‘late summer’, smartwatch coming this year








Motorola to launch new Moto X ‘late summer’, smartwatch coming this year too

In a Q&A session at the Mobile World Congress, Motorola spoke about how the Google-Lenovo deal won’t affect Moto users, its new Moto X variant, Moto smartwatch and more.

It has tweeted some of the Qs and As from the session. To begin with, Motorola is all set to bring the Moto X to the Indian market in the “next few weeks.” However, there is no word on the exact date or pricing yet. The company recently launched the highly anticipated Moto G, undoubtedly a huge hit in the Indian market.  The device has been receiving rave reviews ever since its launch late last year. In fact, the company calls it Motorola’s most successful smartphone launch.
Just like most phone makers, the company revealed that it is also now working on a smartwatch. While most manufacturers are busy building fitness-focused wrist bands, Motorola intends to focus on the battery life and style of the device. Looks like it is looking to create a pretty looking accessory, rather than a tech-imbued gadget.
The company is also working on a new variant of the Moto X. Though the company didn’t divulge any details, it did hint at a launch sometime in late summer.
Motorola has been quite quick at releasing updates for its smartphones. The Moto G has already started receiving Android 4.4 KitKat in India. Now, with the acquisition by Lenovo, will the updates slow down? Clearing the air, the company has said that the updates won’t slow down and that the Google-Lenovo deal won’t affect its users.

The company also disclosed that it would continue to be loyal to Android, and doesn’t plan to employ other Operating Systems like Tizen or Windows Phone.

First time Nokia X Phones With ANDROID (OS)

The Nokia X series is the company's first attempt at Android.

Nokia took the world by surprise by making a foray into the Android segment - the largest mobile operating system on the planet.
The company recently launched three Android phones- Nokia X, X+ and XL in its Nokia X Series at the MWC 2014. The devices have been priced at €89, €99 and €109 respectively and are clearly targeted towards consumers looking for an affordable option in emerging markets like India and China.
The devices are reminiscent of the design found on the Asha series of Nokia phones and are seen running on a version of Android that is nothing like you would have seen till now. Nokia has gone for a platform based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), heavily modifying the UI which results in a software that is mostly like the Windows Phone OS cosmetically.
Nokia X, Nokia X+, Nokia XL Spec sheet
The Nokia X comes with a 4-inch IPS LCD screen and is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The dual-SIM device has 512 MB RAM and a 3 megapixel back camera. The Nokia X+ improves on the RAM front with a 768 MB chip. The rest of the specifications are identical.
The Nokia XL is the slightly more expensive cousin with a 5-inch display and a 5 megapixel rear camera. The device will have 768 MB of RAM and is powered by the same processor as the other two.
Although the phone runs on Android, the services are mostly handled by Microsoft including OneDrive, Outlook and Skype. The devices will be unable to access the traditional Google Play store, which will instead be replaced by the Nokia Store. Nokia claims that a strong 75% of apps on the Play Store require no modifications while the rest of them would need minor changes.
The smartphones will come pre-installed with a few third party apps including BBM, True Caller, Plants vs Zombies 2, Vine, Twitter and Viber.
There is no word on when the devices will be made available for the Indian market. They are currently listed as coming soon on Nokia’s website.
The X phones can be a good alternative for users who are looking to buy cheap Android phones with the trust that comes with Nokia.

Nokia X can run 75 percent Android apps 'without any modifications'

Google Nexus 5 Vs Samsung Galaxy S5::

Google Nexus 5 Vs Samsung Galaxy S 5::

Samsung Galaxy S5 vs Google Nexus 5: Spec comparison

Display

The most obvious change Samsung has made is to increase the size and resolution of the display.
In retrospect, speculation about the S5 toting a quad HD 2560 x 1440 screen always seemed a touch far-fetched, so we're not particularly surprised to see that Samsung has retained a full HD 1080p resolution instead. The AMOLED screen, however, is slightly larger than the 4.95in and 1920 x 1080 panel of the Nexus 5.

CPU, GPU and RAM

In just a few months, a lot changes in the processor world, and this is reflected by the chip Samsung has decided to place at the heart of the Galaxy S5. Last year's Nexus 5 carried a very respectable 2GB of RAM, with a quad-core Snapdragon 800 running at 2.3GHz. The Nexus 5's GPU is an Adreno 330.
The S5 offers a slight upgrade in this regard. Centre stage is its quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, which runs at a blistering 2.5GHz. This chip, paired with the same 2GB of RAM as the Nexus, means the phone shouldn't have any bother smoothly running any app you throw at it. One thing to note: it isn't 64-bit.

Size and weight

The Galaxy S5 is the bigger of the two phones at 142 x 72.5 x 8.1mm because of that larger display, but it's not that much bigger. Google's Nexus 5 comes in at 137.8 x 69.2 x 8.6mm, meaning it's slightly smaller, but about half a millimetre thicker than the Galaxy S5. Samsung's new smartphone is heavier too, with the weight of the Galaxy S5 coming in at 145g compared to the Nexus 5, which weighs in at 130g. 

Battery

More space in the slightly larger body means room for a larger battery, and that's exactly what Samsung has included. The Nexus 5 has a 2,300 mAh battery, but the Galaxy S5 enjoys an increase to 2,800mAh. That should get you 21 hours of talk time, according to Samsung. Compare that to the Nexus 5, which only managed around 17 hours talk time. 

Cameras

The 8-megapixel main camera of the Nexus 5 has been dwarfed by the 16-megapixel whopper of the Galaxy S5. 
However, the Nexus 5 adds Optical Image Stabilisation, which will ensure many more great images are captured by default and without much effort on the part of the user. The new Galaxy S5, on the other hand, touts as its best new feature its super-fast autofocus, which Samsung claims is the fastest on any smartphone at up to 0.3 seconds.
As for selfie fans, they'll be pleased to know that the S5 packs an impressive 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, compared to the 1.3-megapixel of the Nexus 5.

Ports and sensors

The ports and sensors on both phones are pretty much the same. The main differences are that the Nexus 5 gets dual microphones, ceramic power and volume buttons, whereas on the new S5 there's a microUSB 3.0 port for quick transfer speeds.
The main feature in this field is that Samsung has fitted the S5 with a fingerprint scanner which serves three main purposes. First, it can swiftly unlock the phone, which works much like the Touch ID sensor on the iPhone 5S. The second function is instant online mobile payments via PayPal integration, and the third is to protect important documents.

Network connectivity

On the connectivity front, both models feature 4G LTE (supporting the speedy Category 4), and 802.11ac, but the S5 packs fifth generation 2X2 MiMo, plus a feature called Download Booster which uses both Wi-Fi and 4G simultaneously to download files more speedily.

Memory and price

With the Nexus 5, Google decided to offer 16GB and 32GB models. Samsung's Galaxy S5 sports double this capacity, with 32 GB and 64 GB versions available. The S5 also offers the option of adding up to 64GB extra via microSD.
As for pricing, Samsung isn't saying just yet, but we'll keep you updated as news comes out. The Nexus 5 comes in at £299 for the 16 GB version, and £339 for the 32 GB model. The S5 will likely hover a fair bit above this price point.
Overall, the Galaxy S5 looks to be a bit of a one-up to the Nexus range of phones, while disappointing in several key areas. If you haven't got a Samsung Galaxy or an Android phone already, then the S5 is a tempting proposition based on what else is available right now. If you already own a Galaxy S4, then it's going to take every ounce of self-control not to give in and upgrade immediately.

The Samsung Galaxy S5's 16-megapixel camera is pretty good

 Spain -- Artificial spot lighting at trade show booths doesn't make for the optimal conditions to test out what a camera can do. However, it does at least give you a fairly good idea of how the Samsung Galaxy S5's 16-megapixel shooter works in this kind of indoor setting. (And yes, we did ask, beg, and plead to take the phone outside into the light and air. No dice.)

Meet the Samsung Galaxy S5

I took all photos on auto mode. Some photos came out a little darker than I expected, some not quite as crisp. There were also certain lighting challenges that few cameras could overcome, mobile or otherwise. Overall though, I was pleased with the sharpness, color, and level of detail of these brief test shots.
One benefit of the Galaxy S5's high megapixel count is that cropped images still show up at fairly high resolutions, so you don't lose as much detail as you might on a lower-resolution camera. You'll see an example of that, and several other shots, in the gallery below.
Native camera app's fresh lick'a paint
In addition to the Galaxy S5's optical performance, Samsung's native camera app gets an update with some significant changes. An HDR toggle (representing new processing powers) now pops up on the screen, which makes it easier to select. (Tip: you can even use HDR in burst mode now.)



Selective Focus is a neat feature that, as on some high-end Nokia Lumia phones, lets you choose a more shallow depth of field after you take the shot. It worked well and was easy to use, but there is a fair amount of premeditation required -- you'll need to press the on-screen control first. I do really like that you can keep editing the selective focus as many times as you want.
I noticed a few other new features as well that Samsung didn't emphasize in our briefing or at the launch event. Virtual Tour is sort of like Google's Photo Sphere app, where it can compile a 360-degree view of your surroundings, which is then played in a video. It worked really well in my test, and shares files either as a movie or as stills. I could see myself using it to share a scene with family and friends.
Panning is another new one that seems to work like an action freeze-frame shot. After taking the picture, you can edit the character of the background blur while your subject remains crisply in focus. I wasn't able to get enough real action at Samsung's booth to make this work as it's intended.

The S5's camera app consolidates a whole mess of apps into a single view called Shot & More. This includes modes like Best Photo, Best Face, Eraser, Drama, and the Panning mode we just talked about. You choose this mode before taking a photo, then pick from the shooting modes that work with each photo best.
One neat little feature is being able to jump into the camera settings (which look wonderful) to drag a setting into the shortcuts bar. Another is that you can store photos in Samsung's secureKnox box.
