Jelly Bean on Google Nexus - Hands On

Been 24 hours I have flashed Android Jelly Bean 4.1 on my Nexus GSM mobile. Here are some screen shots and features of the new Android 4.1

Well well well, Here you go.. The first screen you see, lock screen with an add on on the top "Google" which takes you to Google Now.

First looks of the home screen with the camera icon on the left, a folder consisting of all the google apps on the right. The usual Nexus dock at the bottom. 

Samsung Galaxy Note II to feature a 5.5-inch display, narrower body

Previous reports suggested that Samsung was working on a seques of its wildly successful Galaxy Note. The follow-up "phablet" was said to feature a larger unbreakable plane display and a quad-core processor. According to an anonymous source speaking with GSM Arena, the Note II will be equipped with a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display and a design inspired by Samsung's Galaxy S III. Despite the larger screen, the width of the device has reportedly been reduced. It was originally said that the handset would launch in October to compete directly against Apple's iPhone 5, but Samsung has seemingly moved the release date up to September to beat Apple to the punch. The website's source was unable to confirm the Note II's processor, RAM or camera.

Google Nexus 7 - Introduction

As the name suggests, the Google Nexus 7 features a 7" IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. The tablet is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3 chip with 1GB of RAM and 12 core ultra-low voltage nVidia GeForce GPU.

And despite the capable hardware, Google managed to keep the price of the Nexus 7 impressively low. The slate will come in 8GB and 16GB flavors, which will retail for $199 and $249 respectively.

The Google Nexus 7 comes with Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity and Google Wallet preinstalled. Sadly, there isn’t a 3G model available, but obviously keeping the price as low as possible was key here. That's also the reason there isn't a camera at the back, and only a 1.2MP front-facing snapper. However, it's capable of shooting 720p video, so it's not all bad.

Measuring 198.5 x 120 x 10.5 mm, the 7-incher weighs in at 340 grams which is respectful for its size. The Amazon Kindle Fire and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 will be having a hard time, indeed.

Here's what the makers of Nexus 7 say:

Nexus 7 Tablet Specs

It's what we've all been waiting for, folks: Google and ASUS have announced the Nexus 7, a pure Google tablet that lets you take advantage of all the goods they're offering up in the Android market. But forget the software for now (we'll get into that later): let's talk specs.

It has a 7 inch 1280×800 display, Tegra 3 chipset, a front-facing camera, 9 hours of HD video (talk time in tablet speak) and 300 hours of standby time, WiFi, Bluetooth, and NFC. It's only 340 grams light so it's very easy to hold.

It's got a nice helping of power no doubt, but Google surprisingly wasn't interested in running down a list of mundane specs. This device is all about experiences.

You can read a book or magazine on your phone, and pick up where you left off on the tablet. They'll give you movie and TV show recommendations based on what you watch.

They'll let you find out what music you're listening to in an area if you don't know what it is. All of these apps have been optimized specifically for tablets, and Google's pushing them heavily on the Nexus 7. We'll be bringing you even more updates as we get them.

Temple Run : Brave to release on June 14th

Temple Run, one of the most played games on Android devices after iOS. This game was launched a couple of months ago for Android and was living on iOS for a long time, a year I guess. One of the highest downloaded games is now getting a sequel with the name Temple Run: Brave


They say its based on Disney Pixar's latest film 'Brave'. The game is due for release on June 14th.

Disney announced at E3 2012 that it would provide Imangi Studios (creator of Temple Run) with the movie's licenced property for the game's development.

Temple Run: Brave keeps true to the traditional game which mostly involves running, jumping and sliding to avoid various obstacles in the character's path. The sequel has all of that but brings additional gameplay elements inspired from Pixar's next, which is set for a world premiere on June 18.

In Temple Run: Brave, you don the role of Merida, the movie's lead character who is chased by a demon bear called Mordu. You will find yourself navigating through environments that are similar to the Scottish landscape featured in the film. Besides collecting coins, Merida can also show off her archery skills in the game by shooting targets along her way to earn extra points.

Not sure about the price on Android Devices, the earlier version was launched for free and we expect this one to be free as well. Lets hope for the best. Even if it is prices at 0.99$, it shouldnt be a big deal for such an addictive game..

Hands On - Samsung Galaxy SIII

Got my hands on the most awaited Super Smart Phone of the year a couple of days ago. The all new Samsung Galaxy SIII, The Human Phone.

The feel of the mobile is simply awesome. Super comfortable to hold, Ultra Light weight, Sexy Color Combination, Makes you want it as soon as you see it or hold it in your hands.

The Pebble White colour, the one which Samsung has released for public yet looks ravishing and is a beauty to be with.

The interface is marvellous and super quick. Response time is as good as Samsung has promised to all its customers. Camera with multiple inbuilt features is Fantastic. Doesn't take even a milli moment to capture a pic, burst camera is a special feature - Never miss a moment to capture anything special.

The body is made up of steel with a plastic black cover which lightens its weight. The power button on its side is comfortable to handle unlike the button on HTC One X on the top where it really makes you uncomfortable to use it wisely. The Volume keys on the left side of the phone make it simple to up/down the volume with a single hand. They r almost centered for easy use just like the Galaxy Nexus.

Samsung Galaxy SIII is zippy and sways faster than anything else, I mean any other phone on the planet at the moment :)

Cheers to everyone who has got their beautiful lady with them.

Let us know what you feel about it in the comments section.
