HTC once again locked in a legal battle against Nokia

April 23, 2013 – 2:28 pm

We have mentioned HTC’s current situation quite a few times, but thanks to their new flagship the HTC One, the manufacturer finally had a ray of hope. But it seems that too is going out the window, as they are locking horns with Nokia this time in a legal battle over use of Nokia’s proprietary microphone technology and if that wasn’t bad enough, Nokia claims that this technology is being used in HTC’s new flagship the HTC One. This specific type of microphone is developed by STMicroelectronics and is used exclusively in Nokia devices, which means that HTC did not have any right to use this technology in their upcoming flagship the HTC One. However it is still possible that STMicroelectronics made an unknown deal with HTC about the microphone technology, which would turn the tables on Nokia, but for now Nokia seems to have the upper hand. Nokia has already been granted an injunction by the Dutch court over the use of the patented technology , which basically means that HTC won’t be able to ship their new flagship device in Netherlands unless they acquire rights for this microphone technology or replace it with another technology. However this only applies in Netherlands, other regions should still be able to get the HTC One.

HTC releasing a new mid range smartphone, details leaked

April 23, 2013 – 2:23 pm

Only a few months ago HTC announced that they are going through a bad time as their sales rate have gone down drastically. However their new flagship the HTC One has bought back some hope in the higher end of the market, but the mid range market was pretty much in control of other well knows manufactures such as Samsung and Sony. However it seems HTC has also decided to join the mid range war and their upcoming HTC 608t may just have what it takes to capture the midrange throne. This all started with HTC’s Facebook oriented smartphone the HTC First , only a few days later the HTC M4 was announced which was basically the HTC First without the Facebook centric features . Now following in the same footsteps another new product has surfaced and is codenamed HTC 608t. The specifications also indicate towards a device that is suitable for the mid range market, The upcoming HTC 608t will be sporting a 4.5 inch qHD display and will be powered by a quad core Snapdragon 400 processor , which will be clocked at 1.4ghz , accompanied by 1 gigabyte of ram and an 8 megapixel camera. Some HTC exclusive features such as Beats audio implementation will also be available and device will be running Android’s latest 4.2 Jelly Bean which will be coated with HTC’s very own Sense 5.0 user interface. Further details are yet to be released but so far we think HTC is heading in the right direction, especially if they can price the device properly.

Demand for iPhone decreases, affects Foxconn negatively

April 10, 2013 – 6:40 pm

It seems the dominance of Android has finally ended the era of iphone, because Hon Hain Production aka Foxconn has reported a that they have experienced a massive 19% reduction in sales rate, due to slower demand for Apple’s iPhones. For those of you who don’t know Foxconn is the company that Apple uses in order to manufacture their smartphones, though they also work with other major companies such as Amazon and Sony. Foxconn reported a sales number of nearly $27 billion for the duration of January – March, which is a almost 6 billion less than what it was in the same time in 2012. This is bad news for both Foxconn and Apple, as it clearly indicates that iPhones dominance has ended, Mig Chi Koi who is an analyst with KGI Securities commented about this sudden decrease of interest in iPhone saying that they did not expect such a massive decrease and this is nothing but surprising for them. Foxconn relies heavily on Apple products as almost 60% of their revenue stream depends on them, It was also revealed that Apple’s sales rate had been decreasing slowly in years but never to the point where they had to worry, it was still more than enough but as it turns out that stocks have been constantly going down and it is indeed a negative signal from Apple’s primary manufacturers. Is this truly the beginning of the end for Apple’s iPhone ? or will it rise to be the global leader once again ? Only time can tell.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 5S will have a new colour option!

April 10, 2013 – 3:51 pm

It seems that the start of 2013 was all about Samsung, no matter what it was Samsung was on top of Apple. But finally we are getting some glimpse of life from the fallen King and the latest rumour for once is about the new iPhone 5S instead of a Samsung Device. Recently a report from the Macotakara suggested that the upcoming Apple iPhone 5S will offer buyers a new colour option apart from the standard black and white, which may not sound like much but is a great news for Apple’s very loyal customers, since they have had only two colour options since the beginning of the iPhone era. Apple may have finally realized that expanding their options is the only way that they can re capture the throne, after all let’s face it, where all the other manufacturers are offering countless options such different screen size, different price range , wide range of colours , different designs etc Apple has pretty much been trapped in its own made circle. The report also hinted the launch date of the next Apple iPhone and July seems to be the month when Apple attempts to return to the top of the smartphone food chain! But will they succeed? Unfortunately interest rates show that Apple has lost many customers over the years and they are no longer satisfied with the IPhone. Gone are the days when Apple could create anything and spoon-feed to customers as the best, times have changed and people have become more knowledgeable when it comes to Smartphones, So if Apple wants to get back to the top they will have to start listening to peoples demands instead of throwing their own interests towards them.

HTC’s Facebook Based Smartphone, Images leaked!

April 3, 2013 – 1:53 pm

Recently an unconfirmed rumor was roaming around the internet about HTC’s Facebook based Smartphone device, apparently a photo was leaked earlier along with some new rumored specifications. Though the first leak only showcased a single color option, it was later expanded via some other sources and now we have a total of 3 color options, as you can see in the image above. Which makes sense this new Facebook based phone from HTC is probably meant to be a flashy smartphone that is going to be targeted towards the youthful mainstream audience that use Facebook in a regular basis and since Facebook themselves are enduring it users will probably receive exclusive features related to the famous social site . As for the specifications, the rumors suggest that HTC’s Facebook based phone the HTC First will include dual core Qualcomnm Snapdragon’s S4 Plus CPU along with 1 gigabyte of ram, which will be more than enough to power the 4.3 inch display that will sport a 720p resolution and for you imaging needs you get standard 5 megapixel camera. The HTC First will all be running on Androids 4.1.2 Operating System with HTC’s very own Sense 4.5 on top, which will be tweaked for optimized experience when using Facebook. Personally we think HTC’s strategy with this device is quite clever, they made a great move by approaching Facebook with this device, given their financial status, any and every well marketed phone can help them get out of their current situation and back into the race. Not to mention that Facebook has a gigantic audience, something that HTC desperately needs right now.

March 27, 2013 – 9:58 am

There has been some really interesting news roaming around the internet , apparently according to some China based websites Huawei is working on a new flagship smartphone that is intended to be a direct rival to the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4. Reportedly it will be sporting a massive 4.9 inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and will be powered by a Quad-Core 1.8Ghz ARM Cortex-A15 processor. Other specifications include 2 gigabytes of RAM, Mail T604 GPU, and a 13 Megapixel camera. Other rumors also suggest that this upcoming smartphone from Huawei might include a massive 2600mAh batter unit that will provide great battery life due to some mysterious battery optimization technology. Now as good as all this may sound it’s yet to be confirmed, however given how all manufactures are producing some really powerful smartphones this should be the logical step from Huawei. However If this information does turn out to be true we will be getting a smartphone that may present some challenge to Samsung’s Galaxy S4 after all. But till things are confirmed we have to accept this news with a grain of salt and hope that it turns out to be true so we can have a cheaper alternative to the expensive flagship offerings from other manufacturers.
