Announced along with the Sony Xperia SP, the mid-range Sony Xperia L is now available online in India at a price of Rs.18,990. The smartphone is available via an online retailer which is promising to dispatch it within 7 days of placing the order. 
Going to the specifications, the high point of the Sony Xperia L is it’s 8 megapixel primary camera, which Sony dubs as a ”perfect smartphone camera experience”. 
The camera features Sony’s new Exmor RS sensor with HDR support, but that’s where all the impressiveness comes to an end.
The reason we’re forced to say that are the other specifications of the Sony Xperia L, which fail to impress considering the price of the smart phone.
The Sony Xperia L comes with a 4.3-inch FWVGA (854×480 pixel resolution) display and has a 1 GHz Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor paired with 1GB of RAM and Adreno 305 GPU. Running on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Sony’s Timescape UI on top, the Sony Xperia L gets 8GB of on-board storage which is expandable using a micro-SD card.
The smart phone gets a VGA front camera for video calling and for connectivity, it gets Bluetooth, 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS. The Sony Xperia L gets a 1,750 mAh battery, which promises a talk time of up to 8.5 hours. 
The Xperia L measures 128.7 x 65 x 9.7 mm and weighs-in at 137 grams. If you’re thinking to buy the Xperia L, we recommend you check out the Sony Xperia SP as well, which looks better on-paper, and in terms of performance as well.

Those days were gone when the Canvas HD was the only affordable Quad Core device in the Smartphone market. Though the phone had got a great head start over its competitors, but now there are a large amount of "Affordable" Quad Core devices in the market.

In the list, now a new smartphone has arrived, the Zen Ultrafone 701HD. The phone's specs are quite reminiscent to the Canvas HD and is priced at Rs.11,999 which is much lower after the price hike of the Canvas HD.

The Zen Ultraphone 701HD is powered by a MediaTek MT6598 Quad-Core Processor and is coupled with 1 GB of RAM. 

The phone has a 5-inch capacitive display which has a resolution of 1280x720 pixels(HD).

At the back the phone has a 8 megapixel camera which is capable of capturing 1080p (Full HD) videos. At the front, the phone has a 3.2 megapixel camera which is better than the Canvas HD's 2 megapixel camera.

The phone has 4 GB internal storage which can be expanded upto 32 GB by an Micro-SD card.

The Smartphone has dual-sim card slots and it also support 3G. Other connectivity options include EDGE, WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth.

The phone houses a 2,000 mAh battery which promises upto 8 hour talk-time.

The company is also bundling a free flip cover as well as an extra back panel along with the phone for free. 

The phone has nice specs but it would not be the first choice for the consumers because they will first try to go to the brands like Karbonn, Lava etc.





HTC has announced its new Desire L mid-range smartphone in Taiwan.

The Desire L will come with a 4.3 super LCD2 display with a resolution of 800x480 pixels. The smartphone has 4 GB of internal storage along with a Micro-SD card slot for expansion.

The phone is powered by a 1 GHz processor coupled with 1 GB of RAM.

The phone runs on Android Jelly Bean, but HTC has not specified it's version. But we think that it would be most probably the 4.1.2, which would be customized by HTC's Sense UI overlay. Sadly, the image indicates that the phone will not be running the latest version of Sense UI i.e. the Sense 5, and thus, it will miss out a lot of new features.

At the back, the phone will have a 5 megapixel camera with a flash which would be able to capture 720p videos.

The smartphone will have a usual sort of connectivity options which would include Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, and 3G. 

The phone will also have a 1,800 mAh battery, which might not be enough to run this phone through out a day.

The Desire L will come in pink, white and black variant but there is no word of pricing by HTC, but we will inform you as soon as we get any information about it.

-512MB internal storage, micro-SD card slot 

-3MP rear camera, VGA front camera 

-Android 2.3 Gingerbread

The Celkon A58 has a 4-inch display with a resolution of 480x800 pixels. The phone is powered by a 1 GHz processor coupled with 256 MB of RAM.

The smartphone has 512 MB of internal storage which can be expanded upto 32 GB by a Micro-SD card.

The phone has a 3 MP rear camera with a VGA secondary camera.

The phone houses a 1,500 mAh battery and has the common connectivity options i.e. WiFi, Bluetooth and EDGE.

We think that if the users want to buy the lower budget phones, they will probably go to the brands like Micromax, Karbonn etc. And also can get some good feature phones by the REX series of Samsung.


So at this point, Celkon has to work too hard to make its way in the smartphone race and to compete with the superior brands.





After launching the D1, Gionee has now launched the P1 smartphone. It is an entry level smartphone which comes with an 3.5-inch Capacitive touch screen display.

The smartphone will be running the Android OS, but suprisingly there is no version specified yet by Gionee. But as per the specs, we think that the phone must be running the Android 2.3(Ginger Bread).

The Gionee P1 is powered by a 1GHz single-core Cortex A9 CPU. It has a 2 megapixel rear camera and a VGA secondary camera.

The smartphone has 512 MB of internal storage which could be expanded further upto 32 GB by a Micro-SD card.

The smartphone also has a 1,500 mAh battery, but again, we do not have information about its talktime.

Priced at Rs.4,999, the Gionee P1 will come in only a black color variant and as introductory offer, the company is bundling a 4GB micro-SD card, a screen protector and 2 cases along with the smartphone for free.





Micromax's Bolt 51 which was first spotted on the company's official site last month, is now available on Snapdeal and Flipkart for Rs.4,599.

The smartphone has standard sort of connectivity options which includes 3G, Bluetooth, WiFi and USB charging. It has a 1500 mAh battery with 4.5 hours talktime and 140 hours standby time.

The device only has 512 MB of internal storage which is expandable upto 32 GB by a MicroSD card.






The Micromax A115 Canvas 3D, which appeared in some leaked images last week is now officially listed online on Saholic, But no detail of availability is listed there, it's just listed as "Coming Soon".

According to the listed specs, the phone will have a 5-inch TFT LCD display with a resolution of 800x480 pixels. The smartphone will be powered by a 1 GHz Dual-Core MediaTek MT6577 processor, which is the same that powers the Canvas 2. The processor will be paired with 1 GB of RAM.

The phone will have a 8 megapixel rear camera with a  Dual-LED flash and a 2 megapixel secondary camera.

Well, the idea of an 3D smartphone is surely an interesting move by micromax but as we have said you earlier, most of the 3D smartphones haven't been successful. But the advantage Micromax has is that this device will be priced around 15,000 Indian Rupees but most of the "3D" smartphones have been around 30,000 to 40,000 INR.





After launching the TA-Fone A37 in the market, Karbonn has launched its new phone in the budget section.
The Karbonn Smart A12 has launched in india for Rs.7,999 in India.

=1GHz processor, 512MB RAM

-4.5-inch qHD display

-4GB internal storage. micro-SD card slot

-5MP rear camera. 0.3MP front camera

-Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

The device runs on the older, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and there no word if the Karbonn Smart A12 will be updated to Android 4.1 Jelly bean. The smartphone gets 4GB of internal storage and a micro-SD card slot for storage expansion.

All over, its a good option to buy at this price value but we are not able to say that its the best.




After the great success of the Canvas HD, it seems that Micromax is working on their new device, The Canvas 3D.

Twitter user @MMXNewscaster has posted some images which shows us the upcoming Micromax Canvas 3D phone. It bears a model number "A115". It looks quite similar to the present generation of the Micromax's Canvas series Smartphones.

The phone is expected to be having a resolution on 800x480 and is rumoured to be powered by a Dual Core MediaTek MT6577 processor which is the same as on the Canvas 2.




The leaked images show that the phone is having Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and will have an 8 megapixel Camera with dual LED and also a 2 megapixel front facing camera.

It has a single camera in the back which means the phone won't be able to capture 3D videos but will only able to render images in 3D.

Well its interesting that most of the 3D Smartphones of brands like LG and HTC have come in the price range of above 30,000 but the Canvas 3D is expected to be somewhere at 15,000 price range.  

So, we have no information when the smartphone will come to india but we think its the final version of the phone so we expect this phone to be soon available to the Indian market.

Announced in January on Consumers Electronics Show (CES), the Sony Xperia Z was touted as the "Best of sony in a smartphone." But it seems that this device isn't free from issues. Reports are coming that Xperia users are facing bricking issues on this device as this device is turned off randomly and is didn't turned on there after. 

This report was first seen on the Xperia blog and then it went on to say that some users managed up to power on their phone by hard resetting their Xperia Z. However, most of them were not lucky and where not able to power on their devices with this method.

The company is now knowing about this issue and it said that they are working on the fix and the fix will be implemented in the next software update. But unfortunately, they have not told any specific date for this update to be launched.

The Sony would not have ever hoped for this kind of publicity for the "Flagship Device", the Xperia Z.
