    Suggest me my first Android - Entry level

    Im on limited budget: Rs 7000

    Where as moto e is superb build quality, very handy and curvy design is so attractive. Browsing is also excellent. But i feel the screen size is not suitable to my browsing use.

    Some more screen space is better. moto e camera is also average quality. MMX camera is much better.

    moto e is my choice but due to Screen size only i prefer between Redmi and Honor Holly. Both the phones specs are good except for Mediatek chipset of Honor Holly.

    So friends, please suggest me on Redmi 1s with risk of heating and testing of MIUI or go with Huawei Honor Holly.

    Buddy ...dont think so much ... go for Moto E

    My logic is:

    1. You will give to your niece so need a sturdy phone.

    2. You will use for long, not change your phone, so you need good after-sales service ...Motorola has better service standards than most others.

    3. Its proven .. so good resale value ..for whatever its worth.

    4. Its from Motorola ..so radiation will be lower than other phones.

    5. You like the design.

    6. You think screen size is small and camera is average ... but you will get 'used to' both the things as you use, within 15 days. Its not an issue imho really.

    I too am quite tempted to go for Xiaomi, but not really sure if there will be any after sales service centres. This is big concern.

    Pls correct me if I am wrong, but I dont think any low cost mobile brand has a proper service network. (I live in Hyderabad).

    well ... it seems they do have a 'proper' service network planned. Here is the Xiaomi service center list for India (link)

    Also, overall good reviews across markets.

    Xiaomi is here to stay.

    Rediff shopping.

    Had very poor experience. Purchased Samsung power bank 9000 mah listed as OEM.

    Received replica. Customer care complaint was responded in 8 days saying OEM means replica only so they won't accept return.

    Here is the original reply received:

    Dear Anand,

    Greetings from Rediff.com

    With reference to your mail, we would like to inform you that as it was already mentioned on the product page that the product is OEM which means its not an original product but a replica of the same.

    Hence you have received the same product and your query could not be entertained.

    Assure you of prompt and courteous response on all your visits to Rediff.com

    Warm Regards,

    Priyanka

    Customer Service

    www.rediff.com

    Its super illegal to sell replica of Samsung, that too specifically calling it OEM.

    Now that you have this email from them, I think we have a strong case to close down rediff shopping website itself, or at least make some money in damages. These idiots need to be taught a lesson. Send them a crisp email with the words "Legal notice" on top, that too by Speed Post AD; and ask them 10 lakhs or something, within a week, failing which you should threaten to approach Samsung (who will probably sue them for 100000 crores:)), and also the consumer court, for closure of the website.

    Email is admissible evidence in court.

    I think you should get a call from a senior guy from rediff to negotiate with you.

    Its definitely worth a try. If nothing, at least they will think before selling replicas and replying with such BS.

    MOTO G (from Motorola) @ <15000/- (soon to be launched)

    source (full article)

    Motorola is promising that Moto G will be unlike any other smartphone in the market. The key feature of the phone is its low price. TheIndian price is expected to be less than Rs 15,000. But in terms of hardware and software features, the phone is ahead of similarly-priced Android or Windows Phone devices sold by companies like Samsung, Nokia, LG, Sony and HTC.

    Moto G has a 4.5-inch screen with 720P HD resolution, a quad-core processor running at 1.2GHz, 8GB internal storage (16GB version also available), 1GB RAM, 5MP primary camera and a 1.3MP front camera. Punit Soni, Motorola VP for product management, claimed that Moto G will be faster than Samsung Galaxy S4, a premium phone, in many tasks because it runs a largely unmodified version of Android.

    "Moto G costs less than one third of the price of Galaxy S4 and Apple iPhone 5S. Yet, it outperforms these devices in many tasks," said Woodside.

    Samsung working on 3-sided screen phone / bendable touchscreens / foldable displays + Apple is working on curved screen smartwatch

    Source

    Samsung, which launched the world's first smartphone with a curved screen last month, is now reportedly developing a smartphone with a wraparound screen.

    The screen of this phone wraps around the edges so users can view messages while viewing from an angle and each side of the display works independently, according to a Bloombergreport.

    The South Korean manufacturer's wraparound screen smartphone would be using an upgraded version of its Youm technology, which was showcased in January this year. This display technology is also used in Galaxy Round, the company's only curved screen smartphone.

    Bloomberg's report, citing two sources close to the development, said: "The display may be used in the S or Note series of premium handsets or may be the first in a new line."

    However, the report was unclear about the launch date of the device.Samsung doesn't have a specific release date for the new device, but the handset is more likely to come out during the second half of next year.

    Samsung has already revealed its roadmap for smartphones, saying it will launch handsets with bendable touchscreens next year and models with foldable displays in late 2015 or 2016.

    Other companies are also working on new display technologies to compete in the booming smartphone market. Soon after Samsung launched the world's first handset with a curved screen, LG had launched a similar smartphone, named G Flex.

    Apple too is reported to be planning a curved screen iPhone next year that may feature a larger display than its earlier variants. Apple is also said to be working on a curved screen smartwatch.

    HTC One successor’s images, features leaked

    source

    According to Chinese website ePrice, the upcoming HTC smartphone is codenamed M8 (the One was called M7 when it was being developed). The leaked images of the device show that it will follow the same design language as its predecessor, but will be thinner and have more rounded edges.

    The handset will also get a fingerprint scanner on the back, though it will be smaller than the one used in the One Max phablet and will be placed above the camera.

    The website reports that HTC M8 will have 5-inch or 5.2-inch display with 2K (2048x1080p) resolution and run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.2GHz. Though the Android version to be used in the smartphone is not yet known, it is expected to come preloaded with the HTC Sense 6.0 UI. The device is said to have 3GB RAM and will hit the markets in early 2014.

    Motorola wants to tattoo a mic on your throat

    source:

    Apple patented iWatch name. Samsung patented metal body for smartphones. And guess what Motorola has patented now? A technology that tattoos a microphone on your throat, complete with power supply, antenna, receiver and even an optional display!

    According to the patent application filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office, this tattoo on the throat will act as a standard microphone that will pair with mobile devices over Bluetooth, NFC and ZigBee networks. The microphone will pick up vibrations straight from the larynx (or voice box in layman's terms) in the throat, thus eliminating the background noise that many calls suffer from and make for clearer voice quality during calls.

    Motorola's patent filing says: "The electronic skin tattoo is capable of receiving an initialization signal at the controller and from the MCD (mobile communication device) to initiate reception of an audio stream picked up from the throat region of the body for subsequent audio detection by the MCD under an improved signal-to-noise ratio than without employing the electronic skin tattoo."

    The filing says that the tattoo can be applied on animals as well and can be embedded into a collar or band (both flexible and stiff) that is worn around the neck.

    And that's not all. Motorola's throat tattoo will double up as a lie detector too!

    The patent filing says: "Optionally, the electronic skin tattoo 200 can further include a galvanic skin response detector to detect skin resistance of a user. It is contemplated that a user that may be nervous or engaged in speaking falsehoods may exhibit different galvanic skin response than a more confident, truth telling individual."

    This is certainly one of the most unique ways of tapping into the world of wearable computing, which is witnessing a huge interest, thanks to Samsung and Sony's smartwatches and Google Glass.
