Google and LG fixing hardware issues with Nexus 5 with minor redesign

0

Google's Nexus 5 is one great phone for its price and currently it is Google's best smartphone in the market. Google is giving all the attention that this handset, manufactured by LG, demands. Earlier, when the phone was launched, people claimed that the camera was not up to the mark as Google had widely advertised the camera on the Nexus 5. Then there were reports from users that the loudspeaker audio isn't that great and that the physical buttons on the sides are not that great and clunky. Google seems to be responding pretty fast to user demands as they have just recently started seeding Android 4.4.2 KitKat to the users with camera issues fixed. They are also concentrating hard on the hardware part by working with LG to correct the issues. Google seems to have fixed the loudspeaker issue by making the speaker holes at the bottom of the phone a little bigger. The buttons have also been built more solidly and now they are said to feel less clunky. An user has posted the photos comparing the first version of Nexus 5 to the new improved Nexus 5 which has bigger speaker holes and better built buttons. The microSIM card ...

Windows Phone 8.1 leak suggests incoming on-screen controls

0
0
Rumors have been going around for a while that Microsoft might drop the hardware buttons requirement for their mobile operating system. This first leak by the infamous Evleaks seems to reaffirm this. There's not much to go on here other than a partial screenshot that displays the back, windows and search buttons. While we're not huge fans of onscreen controls, it does bring with it a lot of benefits for manufacturers. Not only will it reduce the entry cost for low end phones, it will also allow Android phone manufacturers to use identical hardware thereby reducing their R&D costs. To the end consumer, you can expect lesser bezel space which is otherwise eaten up by the capacitive buttons. Like Android, we expect the onscreen controls to fade away when using full screen applications like a movie player. Partial Windows Phone "Blue" screenshot. pic.twitter.com/LnV9h0MMKL — @evleaks (@evleaks) December 14, 2013   It is very early to expect concrete details around the next major Windows Phone release. In all likelihood, Microsoft will be revealing the operating system at its annual BUILD 2014 conference which has been scheduled to be held in April. Alongside onscreen controls, the update is also believed to include a personal assistant dubbed Cortana ...

There is 512MB RAM and you get 8GB internal storage along with a microSD card slot for expansion. Nokia Lumia 520 runs on Windows Phone 8 and comes with the flashy fancy Windows Metro UI.

LG has been a little bit late in bringing software updates to its Android smartphone series, but things seemed to have changed for the South Korean manufacturer.

The update has been announced only for South Korea right now and the update should roll out to other countries very soon.
