Nokia Lumia 430 VS Mobiistar Lai Yuna C: specs battle

Even though having vivid cases on the back, Nokia Lumia 430 flaunts the smaller screen size with 4-inch display. Likewise, Mobiistar Lai Yuna C display measures 5-inch HD screen. However, Nokia Lumia 430 runs on the new Window 10 which is believe to be stable although running on the low-end devices. Therefore, Nokia smartphone is still good for users. Regarding Mobiistar Lai Yuna C, unfortunately, the Chinese smartphone is not set up the latest Android N or Android 6.0 Marshmallow in tow.

Nokia Lumia 430 packs a Snapdragon 200 chipset under a dual-core clocked at 1.2 GHz. In general, Nokia Lumia 430 specs are less strong. Such specs can be easily found inside phones produced for 2, 3 years ago. Meanwhile, Mobiistar Lai Yuna C specs offer a smoother performance with Mediatek MT6580 chipset. Moreover, a Quad-core processor clocked 1.3 GHz. Despite of these differences, Nokia Lumia 430 VS Mobiistar Lai Yuna C support the same 1GB of RAM.

Nokia Lumia 430 VS Mobiistar Lai Yuna C seem not to follow the trend of photography since they both sport the low resolution cameras. Nokia Lumia 430 supports 2MP shooter on the rear and only 0.5 MP on the front. More better with Mobiistar Lai Yuna C, the smartphone packs a 5MP rear camera coupled with 2MP front-facing one. Nokia Lumia 430 seems to lose the fight while carrying only 1500 mAh battery. Mobiistar Lai Yuna C is capable of 2200 mAh cell.

Nokia Lumia 430 VS Mobiistar Lai Yuna C prices are affordable as mentioned before. Nokia Lumia 430 carries a price tag at only $75 and Mobiistar Lai Yuna C price falls at $76. Their prices are nearly the same, so which one do you choose?

Nokia 1001 Pureview: 4.3 inch, 41MP Pureview beast

Nokia smartphones with Pureview camera are no doubt the all time favorite among all mobiles in our market. In this article, let’s meet up Nokia 1001 Pureview with amazing 41MP camera.

Nokia 1001 Pureview

Nokia 1001 Pureview: awesome 41MP camera

At first glance, Nokia 1001 Pureview looks pretty much like a made over version of Nokia N900 with a huge camera sensor on the back. The smartphone’s got slightly curved edges on the rears and elegant buttons on the left side of the machine. Nokia 1001 Pureview was designed by designer Mkrtchyan Edgar, offering both a stunning appearance and a decent combination of specs.

In terms of Nokia 1001 Pureview specs, we have a handy 4.3 inch AMOLED display that is covered  by Gorilla Glass. There is no information about Nokia 1001 RAM capacity, but there is a Dual Core clocked at 1.6Ghz to power the machine. As long as the internal storage is concerned, there is 16GB and 32GB variants, which can both be expandable to 64GB by microSD card slot. Of course camera is the most expecting feature everyone looks for when it comes to Nokia beasts. This Nokia smartphone offer 41MP Pureview sensors with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and Full HD video recording. However, the front camera is only 1.3MP in resolution.

Nokia 1001 Pureview

In case you forgot, Nokia smartphones are also very famous for their high quality battery, not just camera sensor. For instances, this Nokia 1001 Pureview features a 2,200 mAH power cell. That being said, 2,200 mAH battery made by Nokia does offer longer working time than the same capacity from other companies. This smartphone can work up to 9 hours of continuous talk time and 550 hours of consecutive stand by.

Nokia 1001 Pureview: another non Android beast

Nokia 1001 Pureview is another qualified non Android beast by the legend. The handset runs over Windows 8 OS and is capable of different types of connectivity: NFC, Bluetooth, micro USB and so on. Nokia 1001 Pureview price, as we predict, would fall around USD 300 to USD 350 – great money for its huge camera feature.

Nokia Lumia 1520 officially relaunched

Nokia Lumia 1520 has been believed for a long time that it will not be upgraded. But now, everything has changed. Nokia Lumia 1520 is said to come back to life with it new wine in old bottle version. 

Nokia Lumia 1520

Nokia Lumia 1520: high specs

Nokia Lumia 1520 is stunning as it always and familiar with Lumia design. The Nokia smartphone appears with a massive 6.0-inch display with resolution clocked at 1920 x 1080 pixels. This phablet is covered by a shiny LCD capacity touchscreen supporting 16M colors on the front. On its back, the case is flaunted with 4 variant colors: yellow, white, black, red, green. For almost a year of being delayed, Nokia now is planning on bringing its princess back to the market running on Window 10.

Besides carrying a new Window 10 in tow, Nokia Lumia 1520 specs are outstanding and powerful. The Nokia phablet houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and a 2.2GHz quad-core CPU. It sports 2GB of RAM and a package of 16/32 GB of internal storage expandable up to 128GB via microSD. Nokia Lumia 1520 is fueled by a staggering 3400 mAh battery life for an estimated 25 hours talk time.

Nokia Lumia 1520

As far as the cameras are concerned, the Nokia phone packs a better 20MP PureView primary shooter compared to other Lumias. Meanwhile, the front camera is only stayed at 1.2 MP which has not been confirmed to be upgraded or not. From my perspective, it is much better to change the selfie snapper resolution since most of the current smartphones are equipped with high resolution front-facing camera.

Nokia Lumia 1520: price and release date

If these changes are Lumia 1520 pros, the price seems to be a con. It seems inflated for a phone of its age. Nokia Lumia 1520 price falls at $584.99. It is likely hard to suggest it when there are plenty of powerful handsets that you can get under $600 or even less. So what do you think about it?

Nokia Lumia 940 Carbon is very environmental friendly

Do you remember how we all fell in love with Nokia Lumia 940 that has a stunning transparent design? This time, another render showed up, with an interesting feature: Nokia Lumia 940 with a carbon body.

Nokia Lumia 940 Carbon

Nokia Lumia 940 Carbon: unique material

Nokia Lumia 940 Carbon was designed by Edgar Mkrtchyan. According to its designer, the only material used to make the phone body is carbon. This is an idea that will absolutely impress environmentalists for its friendliness to our surrounding. Nokia Lumia 940 Carbon is a non-Android Nokia smartphones and runs on Windows 8 OS. The smartphone targets as a budget mobile with decent specs and good quality compared to its money.

Nokia Lumia 940 Carbon specs include a dual core that clocks at 1.5 GHz. Similar to the original version, the Carbon variant of Lumia 940 doesn’t reveal its RAM capacity yet. Other than that, we have 12Mp main camera with Carl Zeiss optics. Such sensor is capable of 1080p video and equipped with dual LED flashes for better photo quality under low light conditions. Nokia Lumia 940 Carbon is powered by a decent 3,000 mAH battery.

The most significant feature that helps distinguish this mobile from other Nokia smartphones is the fact that this design uses carbon for the entire machine. This is a future technology that would make a huge hit once it is officially launched. The rest of Nokia Lumia 940 Carbon specs offer up to 64GB ROM and a handy 4.5” display.

Nokia Lumia 940 Carbon price: budget or no?

Compared to its counterpart Nokia Lumia 940 transparent design, this carbon mobile doesn’t actually look as gorgeous and shiny. Yet, it doesn’t even need to compete that way. It is the unique material that makes Nokia Lumia 940 carbon more irresistible than ever. The question being asked is that, will this mobile cost a lot for its special feature? As of now, we haven’t heard any confirmation about the price yet. But if we are to make a guess, we would say the carbon variant will surely cost more than the original one, at least 20% higher.

Huawei hiring Nokia engineer to produce a new mobile OS

Huawei, the third largest smartphone OEM in the world, is drawing huge attention with their current project. Reports from reliable sources are suggesting that the company is working on an exclusive mobile OS in order to minimize their reliance on Google’s Android….

Huawei New Mobile OS

New Huawei mobile OS: having Apple and Nokia joining the game

Huawei is known as the biggest smartphone producer in China (despite ranking 2nd after Xiaomi sometimes) and the third-largest worldwide. They have impressive sales report with huge smartphone units shipped every year. And they don’t plan to stay just that. Huawei even targets to beat Apple and Samsung in the international competition. In order to get closer to that, the company needs to find a good way to enter bigger market outside China and Asia, like the US and other major EU markets.

For right now, Huawei flagships are operating mainly on the company’s hardware. However, they put some Android implementation and some Apple’s iOS inspiration on it. For example, Huawei P9, one of the most powerful smartphones to date, gets EMUI 4.1, which is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow but also feels really close to Apple’s iOS. This doesn’t really satisfy many users as well as tech lovers. Therefore, Huawei is working to improve their EMUI Android skin. But more importantly, the company is also believed to be producing a new mobile OS of their own in order to rely as little on Google as possible.

Huawei new mobile OS

In order to make the best OS possible for future Huawei flagships, rumors have it said that Huawei have hired Abagail Brody, former Apple designer. More interestingly, former Nokia engineers are also said to be part of the Huawei team that are taking responsibility for this new mobile OS.

Huawei + Nokia = best selling combination?

Nokia is surely remains as a best selling brand name in the world. By working together with Nokia former engineers, is it a business strategy of Huawei in order to attract public attention? Because after all, Huawei said that, further information about their proprietary new mobile OS is still a secret well kept up till now. (Source)

Nokia President: “Mobile phones are our history, not our future”

Ever since we got to know about the expiration of the contract between Nokia and Microsoft later this year, people have been asking Nokia president whether Nokia will come back to make smartphones again. And seems like the topic is very controversial now…

Nokia CEO

“Mobile phones are our history”

Last month, news has been burst out that Nokia-made smartphones, feature phones and tablets will soon hit the shelves once again. This made tech geeks and Nokia fans around the world so happy and excited for the grand return. However, recent reports are suggesting the total opposite, according to which, we are afraid it would be a No for the question whether Nokia is coming back with smartphones…

“We have absolutely no interest to go back into the mobile business. That’s our history, not our future,” Ramzi Haidamus, Nokia president of Technologies unit just shared online. But don’t you be disappointed yet. It doesn’t mean Nokia will not involve into the industry at all. Instead, the company is licensing its name to HMD – another company also from Finland. This company will design, make and of course, sell Nokia-branded devices.

Nokia President

Instead, Nokia president said they will be focusing in the health industry. Back in April, the giant announced their acquisition of Withings – the French digital health company – , making it a real game with a brand new field.  That being said, we are hoping to still see future Nokia smartphones being produced. The only difference is that, the company will not take part in the design and manufacturing process.

Nokia smartphones 2016

T0 make the long story short, from what we have gained so far, Nokia smartphones will still be manufactured and launched later this year. However, it seems that the company will not directly involve in any process of that. Nokia, on the other hand, found their “true calling” and will be focusing on VR camera (the OZO) and health industry (Source) 

Top 5 non Android Nokia phones for 2016

Nokia Android smartphones, typically Nokia E1, are famous and loved all over the world. Apart from those, the Finnish company is said to launch its non-Android smartphones, which means Windows-powered mobiles. Let’s take a look at the following top 5 non android Nokia phones.

non android nokia phone

1. Nokia 767

Nokia 767 is the first non Android Nokia phones that we want to mention here. Running on Windows Phone OS, the phone is shaped by two curves which delivered a fancy and elegant appearance. The handset shows up with 4.0 shiny premium touchscreen. At our first impression, it feels like a leaf smoothly falling from the tree. In terms of Nokia 767 specs, this “leaf” carries 2GB of RAM and 20MP Pureview under the hood. The Nokia 767 battery is sealed in the phone’s metal body and its capacity is 3,500 mAh. As you’d probably figured out by now, a battery with this size means the phone is quite slim.

This Nokia smartphone’s designer Ihar Novik shared that he took inspiration from Nokia signature phone – the Nokia 7610 to make this Nokia 767 . As a result, you may love it in addition to the affordable price. Current sources are suggesting that Nokia 767 will hit the market around $ 180 – $ 200, slightly lower than its competitor Nokia E1, which costs around USD 250.

Microsoft Lumia Edge: 6GB RAM, 32MP cam

After the Nokia deal expired, we haven’t seen any new smartphone from Microsoft. And now, the company might have a big return with Microsoft Lumia Edge. With 6GB RAM, 32MP cam, this Edge promises to be a super powerful smartphone. 

Microsoft Lumia Edge

Microsoft Lumia Edge: 6GB RAM and 256GB ROM

Lumia- the name we barely mention at this time, especially in the market full of popular names like OnePlus, Samsung, etc. And now, this name is probably coming back with a totally new concept. The render was designed by Armend Lleshi. The new smartphone will be called Microsoft Lumia Edge. As its name, the device will have the curved screen display.

This concept reminds us of Samsung design. It seems like that Armend took the Edge idea from Samsung and put on Lumia. This Edge feature makes this new phone have a different look from its predecessors. The handset comes with a metallic unibody design. The speaker slit at the bottom looks incredible. The rear of the phone is quite simple with a main cam along with LED flash, and a company logo.

The Microsoft Lumia Edge specs are also very impressive. The phone is gonna be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. It will sport a 5.3-inch 4K display with a 4200 mAh battery life. Edge will packs a very hefty memory with a 6GB of RAM as well as 256GB of inbuilt storage. In terms of camera, Microsoft plans to add a 32MP main cam with 4K recording. You can also find an 8MP shooter on the front of the handset. And of course, Lumia Edge will run on Windows 10 Mobile OS.

Microsoft Lumia Edge: Microsoft comes back?

This phone could be a return of the software giant. With the beautiful design and powerful specs, Microsoft can come back right away to the market and defeat the others rivals. We expect that Microsoft Lumia Edge release date is in the end of 2017. So, just wait and see if this company can make its comeback big and impressive.
