Read more →Nokia has give it all they have in them to the Lumia series of smartphones and with the company discontinuing their propreitary OS, Symbian, the Windows Phone OS is going to be the only OS that will power their devices in near future. But the only problem the Lumia series has is that the number of smartphones in the range is quite less and the devices are not present in every segment for different consumers. And Nokia is all set to expand their range of smartphones under the Lumia series.
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 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.
NXG Electronics Pvt Ltd on 27 January 2013 launched their new phablet the XFAB 2 MINI retaining its best features from its predecessor the XFAB. It has a super sleek design measuring 138x70mm and weighing 200 grams which makes it comfortable for daily use. It features a dual core cortex A9 chipset clocked at 1Ghz with 1GB RAM combined together for maximum performance output. The XFAB 2 MINI sports a 4.7-inch IPS qHD display with 960×540 pixels resolution. The smart phone has a 12 megapixel rear camera with auto-focus and LED flash which can shoot HD videos and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera enabling the video calls facility.
Either LG does not see the Indian market as one of their important markets or the team which takes care of the strategies at LG India is doing a pretty poor job of devising launch strategies for India in the smartphone game. LG has some real good products with them as top of the line smartphones but India seems to get them when their next version comes in. LG has quietly introduced the LG Optimus G in India at a price of Rs. 30,990 when the LG Optimus G Pro has already been announced.
The only thing LG seems to have done in the correct manner this time is that they have priced it right. The SIII just got itself a price cut and is retailing for around Rs.29,000 and the HTC One X can also be bought for a similar price. The only thing that might make people shy away from this real good smartphone is the fact that LG has had a poor track record of updating their smartphones with the latest software. If someone is spending such a large chunk of money for their smartphone, they expect to be treated well but LG does not really do that.
