When asked about its key differentiator, along with location services, Nokia never forgets to mention imaging. So it should come as no surprise that they are yet again looking to push the envelope with the Lumia 925. On the face of things it seems to have the same 8.7 Megapixel camera with an LED flash + optical image stabilisation that the Lumia 920 did, but there’s more to it than what meets the eye.

The Lumia 925 features an industry first, 6 part camera lens that along with improvements in the imaging algorithms promises …

One of the nicer features of the HTC One is its ability to create Video Highlights. Highlights are nothing but 30 second videos created from the pictures, Zoes and videos that you have shot on the HTC One. By default, a video highlight is created for each ‘Event’, and the HTC One automatically creates events based on the geo-tags of the photos and videos. But if you want to merge events, there’s also an option to do that, so you can have a single event spanning a week, which includes all …

Nokia Lumia 928 has just been announced, and its big differentiator from the Lumia 920 is supposed to be the Xenon flash and the new squared design. But that’s not all that has improved. The Lumia 928 also packs three high-audio-amplitude-capture (HAAC) microphones to ensure that users get great HQ audio capture, no matter where the recording is taking place. It could be a concert, a noisy room, a party but the HAAC mikes ensure that the audio is distortion free and rich. As long at the audio isn’t above 140db, your video …

The Asha 501 was announced today morning, and I’ve already covered that here. But what’s a post without a video. So here is a detailed demo of the impressive new Asha 501. In the demo we get a look at the new Lumia inspired design, the Swipe UI, the Asha platform’s new ‘Fastlane’ that brings pseudo multitasking, its performance and other things that make the Asha 501 the compelling proposition that it is.
At the 99$ price point you get a capacitive display, that is responsive to the touch like no other device in low …

Nokia’s Asha range kept the company afloat while the transition to Windows Phone happened, however in the last quarter Nokia’s Asha shipments have taken a hit. In the Q1 earnings call Stephen Elop had hinted that a rechristened Asha was coming, and it has been revealed at Nokia’s global launch event in Delhi.

The Asha 501 represents a departure from the existing Asha design language, and is also based on a brand new Asha platform, Series 40 is no more. Now that Symbian is out of the picture, Nokia had been …

More than anything else, the biggest problem LG has at the moment is that no one really considers it a top grade Android device manufacturer. This isn’t because their devices don’t have great screens, or the latest specs, but because people don’t really associate LG with great smartphones. In the Android ecosystem its all about Samsung these days, and then to a lesser extent HTC and Sony. Tell a friend that you picked up the latest LG, and you’re sure to get a puzzled look. This sentiment is LG’s problem, …

If you’ve been feverishly waiting for the HTC One to launch in India, there might be some bad news headed your way. The official word is that the One will not be hitting stores in India before the 4th week of May. This information is based on HTC’s response to an email sent by a consumer.

The Galaxy S4 just went on sale in India over the weekend, and any further delay will only make HTC’s task of succeeding in India harder. Samsung has the marketing muscle, while HTC has a …

The Lumia 920 and 820 went on sale in India last week, and we were able to walk into a Nokia Priority Store on launch day and pick up 3 Lumia 920s, one in roaring red, one in glorious yellow and one in elegant white. So if you’ve been on the fence about which Lumia 920 to pick up, the following video should help answer that. Personally, speaking, my struggle was choosing between the Yellow and Red.

The Lumia 920 comes to India in Yellow, Red, White and Black for now. …

At the Lumia 920′s India launch, Nokia strapped a Lumia 920 and a Galaxy S3 to a quadcopter and flew it around the conference hall. While they didn’t refer to the S3 by name, but as a competitor’s device, one could tell. Both devices were strapped to the quadcopter (pictured below) side by side, and the quadcopter promised a very bumpy ride indeed.

I was able to film both quadcopter flying around, and the resulting footage captured from both smartphones, the difference was remarkable. (YouTube link)

Nokia announced an update for the Lumia 920 and 820 last month, but mentioned that it would only be available in the US and Canada immediately and that the update would come to users across the world in early February. But if you’re picking up a new Lumia 920 or 820 in India, the good news is that it will be shipping with the update codenamed Portico pre-installed.

This update includes updates from both Microsoft and Nokia. There are certain all round improvements to Windows Phone functionality plus some Nokia specific …
