What To Expect This MWC 2013

January might  have been the best month for the techie kind of people, as there was CES, but Feburary is definitely going to be the most exciting month for the mobile phone fans, when the Mobile World Congress ( MWC ) kicks off on 25th February in Barcelona.
With companies like HTC, Samsung, Sony, this year's MWC is going to be a thrill when these companies are going to put their best effort to bring out their latest products.
So here we are, as promised by us, to let you guys, out there, know what all is expected to happen this MWC. Here it goes....

HTC

HTC M7 has got a 13 MP camera 

HTC is one of the best mobile players in the world, last year it showed us the glorious HTC One series, with HTC One X on top the charts.
2013, however, looks like being another good year for HTC, as we've already seen fairly concrete details of one of its new models leak.

HTC M7 leak's

We expect HTC to bring along its HTC M7 mobile, which, as we've previously seen, is believed to be a quad-core device with a 5-inch 1080p display and 13MP camera.

SAMSUNG

Smasung Galaxy S IV 

Samsung is expected to showcase the much hyped Galaxy S IV. But even if it does not, there are many others android phones to be showcased. Earlier this week it launched Galaxy Grand, the same time Micromax announced it's A116 Canvas HD.
However, there's a small chance we may see something really exciting. Samsung's working on hardware powered by the new Tizen OS, a supposed Android rival that Samsung claims it'll be bringing to market some time in 2013.
It is rumoured that there will be new family members in the Note family, which currently have Galaxy Note 2 and the Galaxy 10.1. But the big question for Samsung is whether the Korean Giant will show off its Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, which will feature an 8-inch Super Clear LCD screen, 2GB of RAM, a 5MP camera and a 4,600mAh battery.

Galaxy Note 8

Galaxy Note III

There are also rumours that Galaxy Note III might be launched this MWC. Note III might be powered by an octa-core processor. Named the Exynos 5 Octa, uses ARM's big.LITTLE technology and combines a Cortex A7 with a Cortex A15 chip to gain increases in performance and energy efficiency. Samsung and ARM have claimed that the new processor doubles the performance of the Exynos 4 processor, while halving the power consumption. These new rumours originate from Korea Times, the same news organization that also claimed in December that the Galaxy Note III would come with a 6.3-inch display, an upgrade over the Note II's 5.5-inch screen, that itself was an increase over the original Note's 5.3-inch touchscreen.

SONY
While most of the companies saved their products to be released in MWC in Feb, Sony was the one which showcased it's waterproof Xperia Z and Xperia ZL.
Sony has a reputation of releasing their best product in CES and announcing a couple of smaller models on the same design.
The big question remains that whether we would witness a better phone that Xperia Z or Sony will follow the same hardware plan as last year's.

Xperia Tablet Z might be launched this MWC

Sony may also launch it's rumoured Xperia Tablet Z, which is said to be a companion to Xperia Z. The key spec for this new tablet, the Xperia Tablet Z, would be its thickness, which is rumored to be only 6.9 millimeters. That is already extremely slim for a smartphone, but when compared to other tablets, the Xperia Tablet Z could potentially be the thinnest of them all. Aside from that, the Xperia Tablet Z looks to be one that will pack a lot of muscle under the hood. The rest of the rumored spec sheet includes 1920 x 1200 full-HD resolution for the display, a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory, an 8-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front camera, 4G LTE, NFC and a 6,000 mAh battery.
But Sony is yet to confirm that even if this tablet exists or not. But we think that if it is going to be there at the MWC '13, it's surely going to beat all others out there including the iPad from Apple.

LG

LG Optimus G 

As far as LG is concerned, it officially has confirmed that "something new and impressive" will be there in the MWC. The confirmation came in the press conference in the CES earlier this month.
Rumours suggest that there might be a phone with 5.5-inch thickness that might be showcased. The phone is set to feature a full HD screen in that footprint, meaning a 1080p screen in the palm of your hand. NFC is also certain to be included given the brand has taken pains to show how it will launch interconnected home appliances and TV using the contact-less technology.
LG may also release it's glorious Optimus G.

Nokia Lumia 920 might get the PureView tech

NOKIA
Nokia is expected to release a line-up of 6 Lumia based mobile phone, including the Lumia 920. Rumours suggest that Nokia is working on a slimmer version of the Lumia 920, which would use an aluminium body to reduce the weight of it's hefty flagship phone. Some also suggest that Lumia 920 might come up with technology similar to that of PureView - the 41 MegaPixel camera. This rumor comes from Flavio Pic who revealed that this alleged device has been given the codenamed Project EOS.

HUAWEI
Huawei's really made a name for itself in the UK over the last year, thanks to its winning budget Ascend G300 and the recent Ascend G330 update, plus the powerful Ascend P1.

Huawei Ascend P2 leaked

Huawei, earlier this month, at the CES introduced the  Ascend D2 and Ascend Mate, so it's likely to elaborate more on these at MWC 2013 rather than announce many new phones. It's CEO Richard Yu recently slated that " we will be launching two more exciting innovative products at the MWC 2013".
If the leak is to be believed it's going to be the Ascend P2, a 5-inch phone with a quad-core processor. In fact, according to some recently released specifications, Huawei's Ascend P2 is already in the works and looks to improve upon the original in just about every way possible.
Most importantly, the leaked Ascend P2 specifications shows that it will purportedly run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and make use of a quad-core 1.8GHz Hisilicon K3V2 processor.
The supposed 5-inch screen will boast a 1,280 x 720 resolution, and the Ascend P2 is also believed to include a 13 megapixel rear camera plus a 1.3MP front-facing snapper.
All of those features are coupled with support for WiFi 802.11, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, mini USB 2.0, and network support for GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA and HSUPA, along with 2GB RAM and 8GB memory.

That's all from the World's Biggest and The Best Mobile Makers for now, but if we get any further information on any of the new products we will be posting it here.

Milestone!!!

Thank You So Much all of you!! Today we have got 1000 views on our blog, this all happened because of all you guys there, because of your faith in us, because of your trust in us. Thank you so much!! A very proud moment for all of us!!

Micromax A116 Canvas HD

First of all sorry for interruption  as we promised we will be posting - MWC Preview, but due to the very much hyped and recently announced Canvas HD, we are not able to post it, and it will be following this post soon.
Anyways, back to the point now, it's our First-Of-A-Kind for review of a Phone, so cheers for our new step!!
After the huge success of Canvas 2, Micromax is back with Micromax A116 Canvas HD, actually Canvas 3. Announced on 21st January, this superfone, we think, is best phone is the market right now to buy. Although the price is not announced officially at the moment, but as the company said it press conference, it is going to be anywhere below Rs.15,000. But we think it will be available is the local market for around Rs.12,000 in India.
Firstly some talks and then the specs. Micromax A116 Canvas HD is almost as identical in design as Canvas 2 was. But Canvas HD is a bit sleeker and is more defined along the edges. The resolution of Canvas HD is far better than Canvas 2, and the display is IPS, while Canvas 2 had IPS LCD. The processor is also a great one, Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7, PowerVR SGX544 GPU with a MediaTek MT6589 Chipset. Battery life is quite good for a 5-inch phone. Camera also works just perfectly. This device boasts a 4.1 Jelly Bean, which works excellent with Internet, and surprisingly is also, smooth and the pinch-in and pitch-out zoom worked perfectly.

Mobile World Congress!....What's that ?

The Consumer Electronic Show (CES) might be over, but there's more for all of you out there! The Mobile World Congress (MWC)!!
Is that a name of any political party from any of the country?
No! It Mobile World Congress is the combination of the world's largest exhibition for the mobile industry and a conference featuring prominent Chief Executives representing mobile operators, device manufacturers, technology providers, vendors and content owners from across the world. The event, initially named as GSM World Congress and later renamed as the 3GSM World Congress, is still often referred to as 3GSM or 3GSM World.

This time taking place in Fira Gran Via, in Barcelona, Spain, this event is as same the CES but instead is for Mobile's. This four-day event takes place in last week of every February, this time from 25-28 Feb.
In 2011, it was announced that Barcelona, Spain has been chosen as the "GSMA Mobile. World Capital" and continue to be the site of GSMA Mobile World Congress through 2018.
This post will soon be followed by MWC 2013 preview.

Panasonic's 4K OLED TV

It's a joint venture between Panasonic and Sony which has produced this 56-inch 4K OLED TV prototype at CES 2013. The company claims that its printing process scales very well.

CES 2013 : Final Day

Yesterday was the Final Day for CES '13, we wish it lasted for some more time. All those who had great products to unveil already did that and headed home, while those who are left were planning for the exit strategy on last day of CES '13. While we will be soon posting Top-10 Gadgets Showcased At The CES '13, here we are with all that mattered on Day-4 :

VIZIO
Vizio launched MT11x tablet at the CES 2013. It has a 11.6-inch screen and supports full-HD (1920x1080) display.Vizio MT11x is powered by an AMD Z60 dual-core 1GHz processor with 2GB RAM and runs on Windows 8. It is 10.16 mm thick and supports ten-fingers touch. Vizio MT11x sports a micro-HDMI port, 64GB SSD and 2-megapixel front camera. There are no details available regarding the battery of this tablet.

Vizio MT11x Tablet

The company is so far tight lipped about the price of Vizio MT11x but Vizio is known for its aggressive pricing strategy and is expected to follow the same for its tablet range as well.Not much can be speculated on the performance of Vizio MT11x but it is expected that AMD Z60 dual-core 1GHz processor will give better performance nVidia's Tegra 3, which powers the Microsoft Surface. On the downside, the AMD processors give a shorter battery life and the same might be true for Vizio tablet as well.

Apart from tablet, Vizio also announced that it is refreshing its laptop range. The company has introduced Thin + Light Touch notebooks range, which offers 14-inch and 15.6-inch laptops. Just like the Vizio MT11x, 15.6-inch Vizio notebooks ship with a 1920x1080 screen, while the 14-inch Vizio notebooks comes with 1600x900 displays.

Vizio also showcased two new Android Jelly Bean smartphones. The first device sports a 5-inch screen with a 1920x1080 resolution. This smartphone comes with dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor with 2GB RAM and 32GB of built-in storage, which can be expanded through a microSD slot. It has a 8-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel on the front.
While the 4.7-inch Vizio model comes with dual-core MediaTek chip. It has a 720x1080 display, 16GB internal storage and 1GB of RAM. For camera, it has 8-megapixel rear shooter and a 1.3-megapixel unit on the front. There are no details made available regarding the battery and pricing of these two smartphones either. However, these smartphone are expected to be released in China soon and we might get to know more about these smartphones then.

TOSHIBA
At CES, Toshiba has announced updates to its LX815 and LX835 all-in-ones along with the Satellite C, L and S series laptops. The 14-inch Satellite P series portables will be updated with a Windows 8 touchscreen while the 17.3-inch laptops get a full-HD display. All models are expected to ship in February 2013 with pricing details to be revealed later.

Toshiba's All -In-One's

Toshiba's 21.5-inch LX815 and 23-inch touch screen LX835 All-in-Ones come with 3rd generation Intel Core processors and configuration options of up to 16GB RAM and up to 3TB storage. These machines feature two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports and integrated Onkyo speakers offering SRS Premium Sound 3D.
Satellite P-Series, aimed at media professionals, come in varying screen sizes of 14-inch, 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch, with a new full-HD (1920x1080) resolution option on the 17.3-inch model and a touchscreen for the 14-inch model.
Under the hood, these portable machines are powered by 3rd generation Intel Core processors clocking in at 1.6GHz. Other features include LED-backlit keyboards, integrated Harman Kardon speakers, touch pads and Slipstream port technology that reduces distortion and creates a more precise, rich sound.
The Satellite S-Series, L-Series and the C-Series come in 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch screen sizes. While the S and L-Series are targeted at multimedia enthusiasts, the C-Series is a more budget friendly option offering essentials for daily tasks.
The S-Series sport a slim design with an aluminium exterior. They come with 3rd generation Intel Core processors, optional AMD Radeon graphics, custom-tuned chambered speakers with SRS Premium Sound HD audio.
The L-Series is designed with Toshiba's Fusion finish and powered by the latest Intel or AMD processors, features HDMI and dual USB 3.0 ports and includes chambered speakers with SRS Premium HD audio for listening to music or watching movies.
The C-series also sport a stylish Fusion finish, come with a large touch pad with gesture support and optional HDMI and USB 3.0 ports.

SHARP
Sharp is jumping on the "ultrahigh definition" bandwagon by introducing two super-clear TVs and one ultra-HD computer monitor that will give PC users something to brag about to Apple fans in love with the high-resolution Retina display.

Sharp's TV

At the annual International CES gadget show in Las Vegas, Sharp is showing off a 32-inch monitor that uses its IGZO technology, based on a semiconductor material called indium gallium zinc oxide.
Sharp Corp. touts IGZO for its high resolution, low power, and very accurate touch response. The monitor measures 3,840-by-2,160 pixels, giving it about 8.3 million pixel. Apple's largest MacBook Pro with Retina display boasts 5.2 million pixels on a 15.4-inch screen.
The monitor, planned for launch in February, responds to 10 points of contact at once - one for each finger.

QUALCOMM
Few video cameras record at that resolution, which is four times higher than regular high definition. But Qualcomm Inc., a leading maker of chips for cellphones, says it has a solution: With its chips, smartphones could be recording video in Ultra HD as early as this year.
Paul Jacobs, the CEO of the San Diego-based chipmaker, revealed a lineup of new chips in a keynote speech Monday, ahead of the opening of the show.

Qualcomm's Press Conference 

The topline model, the Snapdragon 800, has 75 percent more horsepower than Qualcomm's old fastest model. That makes it fast enough to record and playback Ultra HD video, the company said. It doesn't consume more power, so the battery life should be the same.
Qualcomm is sending out samples of the new chips right now. It will ship them in volume in a few months, so they could show up in gadgets on store shelves this summer.
The 800 chips are for premium phone models and tablets, much like Qualcomm's current top-line chips are used in flagship phones like the LG Optimus G and HTC Droid DNA.
Smartphone displays have been getting sharper and bigger, but Qualcomm doesn't quite envision them having as many pixels as the new 84-inch and 110-inch ultra-high definition TV sets.
The maximum resolution for a display with a Snapdragon 800 is slightly lower than Ultra HD, but higher than regular high definition. That means the Snapdragon 800 chip can play back video recorded in Ultra HD, but won't be displaying all the recorded detail.
In a similar way, many of today's smartphones can record "1080p"-resolution video and play it back, but have displays that don't show the full recorded resolution.

VIEWSONIC
ViewSonic has unveiled the VSD240, a new 24-inch monitor powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, aimed at enterprise users. The smart display will be available in the US beginning April at an expected price of $499.

ViewSonic VSD240

Engadget reports that the VSD240 sports a plasticky design, but has a responsive screen. Specs wise, the monitor features a full-HD display and is powered by a 1.7GHz quad-core Tegra 3 chip along with a TI multi-core OMAP processor.
The monitor also comes with a 1.3-megapixel webcam, microphone and speakers. Connectivity options on the VSD240 include WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI, Ethernet and USB ports, along with an SD card slot.

HUAWEI
Chinese tech giant Huawei moved further into the high end of the smartphone market on Monday, unveiling two devices for Asian consumers aimed at rivaling the top global sellers. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Huawei unveiled its new Ascend Mate claimed to have the world's biggest screen for such a device, a 6.1 inch display as well as an Intel processor and improved battery life.

Huawei's Ascend Mate and Ascend D2

Ascend W1

The company also showed its new flagship Ascend D2, touring its power-saving and easy sharing capacity. Huawei consumer group chief Richard Yu called the Ascend Mate "an industry-leading smartphone" which "showcases our innovation as we continue to make great technology available to more people globally." The two Android-powered devices, offering some of the sleek lines of the top sellers, will nonetheless be competing in a crowded market with phones from Apple, Samsung, and some powered by Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system.


After launching Huawei Ascend Mate and Ascend D2 at the CES 2013, the Chinese handset maker is now showing some Windows Phone 8 love.
Huawei had long been mentioned as one of the four original Windows Phone 8 manufacturers and while we've seen Windows Phone 8 offerings from Nokia, HTC and Samsung, Huawei had been missing in action until now.
Huawei has finally launched its Ascend W1 smartphone, which comes with a 4-inch IPS LCD screen and a resolution of 480x800. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8230 dual-core 1.2GHz processor with 512 MB of RAM. There is 4GB on-board memory, which can be expanded to up to 32GB with a microSD card.

POLAROID
Polaroid last night unveiled the world's first Android-powered mirrorless interchangeable lens camera with a 18-megapixel censor at CES 2013 in Las Vegas. The iM1836 camera will be manufactured by Sakar International, an authorised Polaroid licensee.

The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean-running camera comes standard with a 10-30mm optical zoom lens, and is capable of recording full-HD video. It features 3.5-inch display will hit store shelves in the first quarter of 2013 for a price of $399.
The iM1836 aims to combine the image quality of mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras like the Nikon V1, J1, Nikon J2, Canon EOS M, Fujifilm X-Pro 1, Samsung NX300 and the convenience of Android-based cameras like Nikon Coolpix S800c and Samsung Galaxy Camera. Before this, Sony had come the closest to combining the two worlds, with the Wi-Fi enabled mirrorless NEX-5R, minus the Android. Polaroid also announced the launch of two iM1836 cousins. First, the non-Android, Wi-Fi only iM1232W for $349 and the non-Android, non-Wi-Fi iM1030 for $299. It also unveiled the iS2433 with a 16-megapixel sensor and 24x optical zoom for $199.
