When will my Smartphone get the Android KitKat update? This is the question that has been on the lips of millions of users all around the globe. It is because of the fact there is quite less information from the manufacturers or carriers about when exactly they will be rolling out the update. People from all over the world are eagerly waiting for the update to appear on their Smartphone. Although Google claimed that they have optimized Android 4.4 to work with ease on even Smartphones with 512 MB RAM, we haven’t heard any Smartphone getting the KitKat experience with 512 MB RAM. It is because manufacturers are mostly busy updating all of their flagships first, which most manufacturers haven’t done yet.

LG has finally unveiled the scaled down version of the LG G2. So basically it has some midrange specs. What about the camera? The camera of the LG G2 was one of the best cameras i have ever seen. But how about the camera of it's little brother the LG G2 Mini? The folks at PhoneArena captured a bunch of shots with the LG G2 Mini. They are claiming that the LG G2 Mini they were using wasn't running the final retail software so the results might look better on the retail version.

World's Biggest Event for Gadgets Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014's is about to start  pretty soon in Barcelona. No doubt the Samsung Galaxy S5 will be the main highlight of this year's MWC, but this ain't means that we will not see exciting devices from manufactures like Sony,LG,Huawei are also here and they are expected to hold press events.



Samsung at MWC 2014

‘Unpacked 5’ event starts on February 24th at 11am PST | 2pm EST | 8pm CET Barcelona time

According to the latest reports and rumors Samsung is exptected to launch the Samsung Galaxy S5, which will be at least equipped with a 1080p display and maybe a fingerprint scanner but we are pretty sure there will be no fancy eye scanner on the Samsung Galaxy S5. But whatever is will be considerable upgrade over the current flagship Samsung Galaxy S4.

Speaking about the Samsung's skin which is called "Touchwiz" is expected to have a complete overhaul. Currently the touchwiz running on Samsung Galaxy S4 is a pretty heavy skin running on top of android, we expecting the new Samsung touchwiz will be lighter then ever and it will have some kinda flat looking icons. Just like what HTC did with it's HTC Sense.


Samsung is also expected to announce a new smartwatch with a more good looking and sleeker design, which will probably be called the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2. The Samsung's first smartwatch the Samsung Galaxy Gear was many things but it wasn't affordable and not very pleasurable to use, at least to most of the consumers. What are we expecting about the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2? Samsung actually acknowledge itself that the original Samsung Galaxy Gear has a bulkier design, so we pretty sure that the new one will have a slimmer and lighter design. And the Samsung Galaxy 2 will be priced at $200 or less which make it more appealing.



LG at MWC 2014

Sometimes LG reveals the specifications of it's upcoming devices ahead of their worldwide launches. That's what happened recently with the LG G Pro 2, which is probably an over sized Note 3. Although it is not a surprise that MWC 2014 will be first opportunity to hold the LG G Pro 2 in your hands, so we are expecting a lot of hands-on and comparison videos. We are also excited to see how the Smart Knock unlock feature works on the LG G Pro 2

And we are also looking forward to LG new budget L series III of budget smartphones, which are with good specs, nice design and affordable price. We are hoping for some surprises. But who knows LG might deliver some surprises at MWC 2014.





Sony at MWC 2014

Sony launched it's current flag last year in September at IFA the Sony Xperia Z1. Meanwhile earlier this year Sony has also sold it's computer division to focus more on Tablets and Smartphones, So we think there actually room for a new flagship. According to the rumors it's code name is "Sirius" and it will probably be called the Sony Xperia Z2, and it will feature a 5.2" display with 4K Ultra HD Video recording. The Sony Xperia Z2 will have a slightly redesigned Sony Xperia Z design and a little bit tweaked skin running Android 4.4 Kitkat

There are also rumors going on about a new 10" tablet from Sony the Sony Xperia Tablet Z2. The Ultra Slim Xperia Tablet Z2 will be the refresh of the last year's Sony Xperia Tablet Z. So we are looking forward to see what Sony will unveil at MWC 2014.



Huawei at MWC 2014

The chinese manufacture Huawei is teasing something juciy for MWC. After the last year's Huawei Ascend P6, Huawei will be releasing at least three new gadgets at MWC. Huawei will introduce a smartphone, a tablet and a smartwatch. There are no further details available for Huawei for now. But we all we know for now is that there will not be the successor of Huawei Ascend P6 because Huawei has already planned a separate event for that.



Nokia at MWC - Nokia's first Android

Nokia is exptected to launched the Nokia X or Nokia Normady whatever you wanna call it. It may finally go official at MWC. This will be Nokia's first smartphone powering Android. But it may disappoint because it will not have the top notch hardware because Nokia is planning to make it a affordable phone maybe a replacement for it's Asha feature phones series.



HTC and Motorola at MWC 2014


HTC Doesn't have a big event planned for MWC but the rumors suggest that HTC will introduce the HTC Desire 8 next week at MWC or maybe a simple press release. But we will probably get a chance to see the HTC Desire 8 as soon as next week.




Motorola has already sent invitations for a event which is on Tuesday 25th February. Motorola probably got some new devices in the pipeline but at the moment there are no leaks or rumors available. But we all heard from the C.E.O of Motorola about a $50 very affordable smartphone, we might see that here at MWC 2014.

But it could also be keynote services and future plans instead of an device launch event. Only times will tell.



Yeah, you heard that right the LG G Flex really does flex. Some people thought it had a misleading name but now we have got a video proof to show you it really does flex, when certain amount of pressure applied to the LG G Flex. But you don't wanna do it often, because it requires enough pressure so there is a risk of breaking the screen.

Speaking about the LG G Flex, it has a 6" inches 720p HD Screen with the pixel density of 245ppi which is quite low for today's high-end standards. A 2.3 Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 with 2GB of Ram is powering the device. It has a 32MP rear camera and a 2.1MP front facing camera. It has a big 3500 mAh battery to keep the device running with Android 4.2.2 out of the box. The position of the volume and power buttons are on the back, similar to the Flagship the LG G2.

See the 14 sec video posted below to check does it really flex?

Google hasn't announced the Google Nexus 5, but we have got some new pictures from Canada. Someone took pictures of Nexus 5 boxes at LG distribution center in Canada.It also proves that the Nexus 5 is ready to ship out to carrier and retailers.

These new photos from user "Junior Mint" on a NeoGAF message board show what appears to be a number of pallets of boxes filled with Nexus 5 handsets. We can say that all those boxes would be probably of Nexus 5 because there just one visible box of Nexus 5 while others are boxes are packed.
So we can't really confirm that the Boxes in the photos are real Nexus 5 Boxes. Take a look at the photos below.





These boxes seems legit. What do you think? Let us know in the comment below.

The LG G2 is greatest and latest flagship from LG. It is one of our favorite phone of 2013. With it's 5.2 inch full HD dispay and rear placed physical keys it just blows everything out of water. LG now confirmed their target sales for the LG G2. They are expecting about 10 Million sales for the LG G2. LG announced this in an event in Taiwan

LG monthly sales stand for about 20,000 just in Taiwan. As LG aims to get 10% of the high-end market share. We earlier have heard about the 10 Million sales target.

The LG G2 has a beautiful display,a great camera,very powerful hardware. What do you think? Will it succed?
LG has finally unveiled it's phablet the LG Vu 3. LG has named it LG Vu 3 instead of LG Optimus 3 just to keep the name simple.The rumors you would be hearing about the Vu 3 are turned true. This Beast is packed with 5.2-inch display with the resolution of 1280x960 (308 ppi) which has aspect ratio of 4:3, Qualcomm Snapgragon 800 clocked at 2.3Ghz with Adreno 330 GPU running at 450Mhz is under the hood.

It Comes with 2GB of ram,a 13mp Camera Shooter with an LED flash is on the back with 1080p video recording at 30fps,and a 2.1mp shooter is on the front for video chats. Moreover LG Vu 3 comes with Android 4.2.2 JellyBean Pre-installed. It also has LTE.


It also has a dedicated rubber rhodium stylus pen which is a great feature to have in a Phablet. But except all these great features we are disappointed that it doesn't have the feature like note taking,converting it's screen as a notebook for writing and drawing etc so there is disappointment in this department for sure.

The  pricing of this beast is still unknown but the release is set for September 27.
