iPhone 6 4.7-Inch Model Tipped to sport 2100mAh Battery

Apple's long-rumoured 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model will come with a 2100mAh battery, claims an analyst citing supply chain sources across China.

Earlier leaks had indicated that the alleged 4.7-inch iPhone 6 will pack a bettery capacity between 1800mAh and 1900mAh. However, contadicting earlier claims, ESM-China electronics analyst Sung Chang Xu in a reporthas equip the alleged smaller iPhone 6 variant with a 2100mAh battery. Further, Xu claimed that previous images leaks indicating the battery size of the iPhone 6 had actually shown the test units of the handset.

Unfortunately, there is no new word on the battery capacity of the anticipated 5.5-inch iPhone 6 handset. Previous leaks had tipped a 2500mAh battery to power the larger 5.5-inch version of the iPhone 6, which is also rumoured to be called as iPhone Air.

If the purported battery capacity of the 4.7-inch model, if true , will bring Apple's next iPhone into the league of Android flagships, such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 (2800mAh)

Multiple reports on Tuesday suggested that Apple would unveil the iPhone 6 on September 9. The date was almost in-line with previous leaks that pointed to a mid-september launch for next iPhone 6 models. If true, the launch date correspond to the second Tuesday of september, a day that Apple used to unveil the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s last year.

Earlier this week, a report even claimed that the two iPhone 6 models -with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays -would have different processors and touch modules.

Last week, another market research firm Strategy Analytics said Xiaomi became the world's fifth-largest smartphone vendor for the first time in the second quarter, surpassing LG Electronics Inc.

Canalys said China was the world's largest smartphone market during the second quarter, with nearly four in every 10 smartphones sold there.

Jingwen Wang, an analyst  at Canalys , said Xiamoi's was thanks to its competitive prices and focus on its own mobile software known as MUI.

Samsung and Apple Inc. were the only non-Chinese vendors among the top 10 smartphones brands in China.

LifeTip is a Heart Attack Monitor you can clip to your shirt

Our weekly series on crowd funding projects tries to look through Kick starter, Indiegogo and other sites to find the most innovative and useful projects you can back. That's because some of the coolest new tech these days, like the pebble smartwatch and the Oculus Rift VR headset, didn't come from big companies but rather, from kickstarter.

We're watching out for what comes next, and this week, the LifeTip- Health wearable Device No-skin-contact ECG Technology caught our eye.

LifeTip, which has so far raised $4,771 out of its $65,000 funding goal, is a discreet ECG monitor that doesn't need to be connected to your body, so you can wear it all times without being uncomfortable.

That's an advantage over other ECG devices on the market right now-some smartwatches include an ECG monitor, but not everyone will want to wear such a conspicuous device; others require you to actively check your ECG by attaching the connectors to your skin.

In contrast, the LifeTip clips on to your clothes and can then be forgotten. It is getting regular readings from you, so it can detect unusual changes in your typical heart-rate patterns and user this information to try and defect arrhythmias and other medical conditions, which it can then alert you about, using a Bluetooth-paired smartphone application.

In case it detects that you have gone unconscious, it can also place an immediate call to emergency medical service.

Aside from the ECG function, the Indiegogo pages says that the LifeTip can also measure body temperature, and using a built-in GPS it can measure things like steps taken, and track your movements and heart rate, the LifeTip can also track calorie consumption, and even body posture using three accelerometers. Another interesting function is the phone proximity feature - if you want, you can set it up to alert you when you're not near your phone - very handy in case you keep leaving your phone behind.

LifeTip comes in two versions - one without the ECG reader , which can still be used as a pedometer , thermometer, posture tracker, and smartphone companion, which is available as an early bird reward for $50,and otherwise for $109; the model with the ECG tracker has already sold out the early bird tier, but you can still get it for delivery in january 2015.

The tablets also feature an 8-megapixel rear camera, 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, and on the software front, they run on the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat, wrapped under Samsung’s Magazine UI.

Flipkart goes to launch two smartphones in India next month!!!!

The launch of Chinese smartphone vendor Xiaomi’s first smartphones in India will happen sooner than what was expected earlier.  Xiaomi will launch its first two smartphones in India sometime between mid-July and early-August, multiple sources have confirmed. 

Rather than setting up its own online retail store, Xiaomi has tied up with Flipkart, which will exclusively sell Xiaomi’s products in India. Unlike Flipkart’s deal with Motorola, where it was importing Motorola smartphones on its own in India, Xiaomi India will import the devices and use Flipkart for retailing them.

Xiaomi will first launch the Redmi and Mi3 in India. The Redmi is its entry-level smartphone with a 4.7-inch 720p IPS display, a MediaTek 6589 quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot. It comes with an 8-megapixel rear and 1.3-megapixel front-facing cameras. The Redmi runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with Xiaomi’s MIUI V5 on top.

The Mi3 is Xiaomi’s flagship smartphone with a 5-inch 1080p IPS display, a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. It comes with 13-megapixel rear camera with dual-flash and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, both capable of shooting 1080p videos. The Mi3 also features dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and Wi-Fi Direct. It has a massive 3,050mAh battery as well.

The Redmi is priced around Rs 8,000 in Singapore while the Mi3 costs around Rs 15,000. We expect Xiaomi to launch these two phones in India at similar price points Apart from the two smartphones, Xiaomi is also expected to launch its range of accessories including its 10,400mAh battery power bank.

Xiaomi’s pricing strategy seems to be very aggressive but it remains to be seen how it would be able to keep up with demand. Its products are sold out in the handful of countries where it is present at the moment. Xiaomi’s supply chain is already stretched thin and it plans to enter 10 new markets this year. Xiaomi is most likely to launch with limited stocks and there will be a waiting period before stocks get replenished.

It is already the third largest smartphone brand in China and sixth largest globally and is targeting to sell 100 million smartphones next year. Xiaomi sold 18.7 million smartphones last year, when it was present only in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

so Are you Ready for FLIPKARTING PHONEs in INDIA????

It's not just a phone....It's a ZenFone!!!!

After a couple of generations of its FonePads – 7-inch tablets that could make calls – Asus is finally launching its first smartphones in India on July 9. The Zenfone series was unveiled at CES earlier this year, where Asus surprised everyone by launching smartphones starting from $99 for the Zenfone 4, $149 for the Zenfone 5 and $199 for the Zenfone 6. All three of them run on Intel chipsets, which makes Asus one of those rare brands that still go for Intel’s silicon for smartphones instead of Qualcomm and Snapdragon. We have spent a couple of days with the Zenfone 5, which would compete with the Moto G and other smartphones in the sub-Rs 15,000 price segment.

Asus hasn’t revealed the pricing for Zenfones in India but considering the US price of $149 (approximately Rs 9,000), the Zenfone 5 looks and feels extremely premium, even for a smartphone priced at Rs 15,000. The back is made of a matte finish polycarbonate plastic with subtle curves that make the phone feel good to hold. The front is dominated by the 5-inch 720p display with Asus Zenbook’s trademark concentric circle finish at the bottom, which adds to the look.

Having said that, the phone does have thick bezels on the sides of the display, which stick out a bit considering the trend these days is to have ultra-thin bezels. Rather than having onscreen menu buttons, the designers have opted for capacitive buttons below the display. For some reason, these buttons are not backlit and hitting them in the dark becomes guesswork.

The Zenfone 5 that Asus had announced at CES had a 2GHz Intel Z2580 chipset with 1GB of RAM but the one being announced in India runs on the Intel Z2560 chipset clocked at 1.6GHz but with 2GB of RAM. We haven’t noticed any lag or signs of worry during our usage, yet, but we will reserve our judgement for the final review. The Zenfone 5 will be available in 8GB and 16GB variants in India both of which come with a microSD card and dual micro-SIM card slots. There is an 8-megapixel camera on the rear and 2-megapixel camera on the front. 


The Zenfone 5 is looking like an interesting product though not without its own set of quirks. A lot of its success will depend on the pricing considering the Moto G is currently ruling the roost in the sub-Rs 15,000 price point.

How to Follow World Cup Beyond Live Video

Every World Cup game is being shown on television and online in the U.S. , but many will require a cable or satellite TV subscription, even for internet streaming. What if you don't have one?

Good news: In 2014, there are more apps and other options than ever before. As the World cup transitions into the knockout stages, here's a look at how to keep up on everything to do with the tournament in Brazil, including the U.S.- Germany match on Thursday.


Univision
 To stream games online using ESPN's website or app, viewers  need a cable or have TV subscription. It's not enough to have internet service through the cable provider.

But there is another way to watch for free-legally. Spanish-language channel Univision is streaming the first 56 World cup games for free on its website and Deporte app. The only drawback (for some) is that the commentary is in spanish.

Unfortunately, even the games on Univision will require a cable or satellite subscription once the quarterfinals begin on  july 4 .

Radio
ESPN Radio and Sirius XM are broadcasting all games over the radio. Simply find your local ESPN station, tune in at game and let the drama unfold. Sirius requires a satellite radio subscription.

This is handy if you are watching the game on Univision but want to hear English-language commentary, though Internet streams can run a minute or so behind the broadcast.
 ESPN stations.

 Apps 
There is a wide array of smartphone apps to help World Cup fans.

The official FIFA app for Apple and Android phones give you real-time updates of all games, updated rankings, photos and video highlights and selected tweets from FIFA and others.

If you're looking for a source outside the sport's governing body, check out Forza Football, Vuboo's World Cup 2014 and World Soccer Finals for Apple and Android devices, and in some cases windows phones as well. You don't get live video, but the apps offer lineups, game statistics, live updates, rankings and video highlights.

These apps offer similar information, but they are all free so you can try them all and see which you like best.
 FIFA app.



Media sites
ESPN's website is chock full of stats and video highlight that you can access even if you don't have cable. Many news sites, including the New York Times and The wall street Journal, offer live blogs of all of the games, offering insights and commentary. This can be a useful way to way to keep up, especially now that two games are going on at the same time.

Nokia's wearable chargers .....yet to believe!!!!!!

These days there is a lot of hubbub about “wearable technology,” which is considered to be the next big thing. While the word wearable is generally associated with smartwatches or Google Glass, Nokia (or Microsoft Mobile) is trying to completely redefine the word. Enter the first ever pair of trousers that can wirelessly charge your smartphone.

These trousers have been designed along with British fashion designer A. Sauvage and the charger in question is Nokia’s DC-50 wireless charging plate. These trousers have been designed as a part of Sauvage’s ‘Modern Man’ of 2014 collection. The designers removed all the bulky packaging and sewed the charging plate into one of the front pockets of the trousers. So the moment you place your smartphone in the pocket, it starts wirelessly charging the smartphone. Talk about wearable technology!

Interesting though it may sound, it does beg a couple of questions. How will you charge the wireless charger when it runs out of juice? You simply can’t be seen in public standing near a power socket with your pants connected. Safety risk aside, you are bound to get weird looks from the people around you. 

SO are you wearing a wearable charger???????????

Amazon Fire Phone.....Be Ready to AMAZON FIRE!!!!<><><><-----Specifications

As expected, Amazon today launched its first ever smartphone called the Fire Phone. The smartphone will be available in the US from July 25 onwards exclusively on AT&T starting from $199 for a two-year contract for the 32GB version. Here is everything we know about it.

Also featured is a 13-megapixel rear camera with f/2.0 lens and optical image stabilization, 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, 32GB/64GB internal storage, and a 2,400mAh battery, which the company claims is good enough to survive 22 hours of talktime and up to 285 hours on standby mode.

As for the design, the smartphone features aluminum buttons, chamfered edges and injection-molded connectors.  The device is 139.2mm in length, 66.5mm in width and 8.9mm in thickness. It weighs in at 160 grams.On the software front, the Fire phone runs on Fire OS 3.5, which is basically a forked version of Android and doesn’t come with Google Mobile Services suite.

Amazon also announced a host of other features with the Fire Phone like the X-Ray, which gives you instant information on what you are watching, Prime Music, Amazon’s Immersion Reading, and WhisperSync for Voice. Additionally, the company also announced a service called MayDay, which is a 24-hour customer service that will help you with any issues on your device. Users will also get unlimited photo storage on Amazon’s Cloud Drive without any data cap.

One of the biggest features after the 3D Dynamic Perspective UI is the Firefly button, which can essentially recognize over 100 million items including objects, games, music, video and much more.

The Amazon Fire Phone is currently only available in the US, that too on AT&T. There is no word on whether it would launch the phone in India any time soon. While the Fire Phone is innovative for sure, it is an overdose of Amazon service and feels like a phone that Amazon built for itself rather than users.
