Asus MeMo Pad 7 Inch Budget Tablet Launched- Video Review, Price and Details

Updated on 27th February 2013

Asus has formally launched the Memo Pad ME172V in India at a price of Rs.9999 only. When it comes to features and specifications, the Memo Pad 7 inch has many similarities to the popular Google Nexus 7 tablet especially in the display size, form factor and build, but these two have major differences when it comes to the processor, memory and hence the performance of these two tablets is quite different. As Memo Google Nexus 7 is already on sale in India at a much premium pricing, Asus has kept the Memo pad at a much affordable price for the price conscious buyers who don’t need top notch processors because of their usage profile on the device. Those who need high performance and quality, can anyway spend more and get the Nexus 7 which has got a faster processor, high resolution display, NFC and Corning glass to name a few extra features over the Memo Pad.

BlackBerry Z10 Launched In India At Rs. 43,499

BlackBerry has a lot riding on the back of its latest OS, BB10 and the BB10 powered devices. India has been that market for BlackBerry where the company’s market share has increased when it has declined elsewhere. They surely could not leave behind the Indians when it came to launching the Z10 and they have just launched their next flagship in India at a price of sky rocketing Rs.43,499. The pre bookings of the device had already started and the ones who have booked it already will be able to lay their hands on the device starting tomorrow.

It will reach the retail stores within a week and then we can safely expect the device’s price to come down over a period of time. BlackBerry Z10 will have a 4.2-inch LCD touchscreen display unit which will have a resolution of 1280×768 pixels. The display will have an amazing pixel density of 356 ppi and the device will support 4 points of touch at the same point of time. The device is quite thin and the thickness stands at 9mm. It may not be the slimmest of devices but by BlackBerry standards, is quite the Size-zero device.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Inch Official Pictures and Details

We brought to you the images of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 which were leaked a while ago and Samsung could not really keep the device under the wraps for a long while as the device was getting leaked every now and then. So Samsung has officially launched the Note 8.0 at the MWC 2013 and it will soon hit the retail stores. Seeing the fact that India gets Galaxy devices before many other countries, we can expect the Note 8.0 to be available for us sooner than the Americans or Europeans get them.

The Galaxy Note 8.0 comes with the specifications which we disclosed to you. It gets an Exynos 1.6GHz quad-core processor which is the same one as on the Note II. The 8 inch screen comes with a resolution of 1280×800 pixels and the pixel density will stand at 189ppi. The primary camera will be a 5.0 MP unit and the secondary camera will be a 1.3 MP one.

HTC One India Launch By March 2013

HTC created a lot of waves when they launched the HTC One and the ripples of those waves are going to create a lot of profits for the company in near future. The HTC One has already started going up for pre-order in Europe and how could the world’s number 2 market be left behind amidst all this. HTC will bring it to India later in March 2013 before the current fiscal ends to up the ante in the high end smartphone game.

There is no knowledge about the price at which the device would come but company has confirmed the launch time. We wonder as to what pricing strategy will they follow for it. We expect it to replace the HTC One X in the Indian market and sit below the HTC Butterfly as the Butterfly costs a whopping Rs.45,000 and people prefer buying the iPhone 5 for that amount of money. So they need to get the pricing bang on if this great device has to become successful in the Indian smartphone market.

Nokia 105 And 301 Budget Feature And Smart Phones Launched

Nokia has been doing just fine in the smartphone segment but it is the feature phone market that brings them the maximum number of volumes and keeps them right at the top when it comes to the number of devices shipped. MWC is the time when company’s display their prowess and Nokia after showcasing their smartphone strength have displayed as to why are they the kings of the feature phone segment. Nokia has announced at the MWC two new feature phones, the 105 and the 301.

There’s not much that in the 105 to talk about. It comes with a brightly coloured screen and features a flashlight, FM radio, multiple alarm clocks, speaking clock; a dust and splash-proof, pillowed key pad and a flashlight. But the only reason why it would sell like hot cakes is that Nokia claims it to have a battery life of 35 days and in real life, it will translate into a standby time of atleast 25 days. It makes sense for the rural folks in India who do not get electricity very often. It will come at a price of around Rs.1,000 which would make it kind of a steal.
