Just the other day, SanDisk unveiled a neat little device that will make moving of media files from a smartphone or tablet to computer as seamless as possible. The SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive comes with a regular USB port on one hand, and a microUSB one – on the other. So when you want to move some files from your mobile device, simply connect the SanDisk’s device to a microUSB port and copy all the photos and videos you want. Then, connect the same device using a regular USB port to a computer and make a local copy of those files. Pretty easy, right? The best part is that the drive’s dual USB ports feature a retractable cover, meaning no caps to lose while still keeping the connectors safe. Yeah, I know – you could rely on some cloud-based storage service to accomplish the same thing, but this is much faster. Or so I think. The only problem is – whether you want to buy yet another device. If you do want it, you can get it in capacities ranging from 16GB to 64GB. The entry-level mode...

Nokia have just officially announced the Lumia Icon over on their Conversations blog. As expected the phone packs an amazing 5 inch full HD 1080p display, making it the highest PPi screen ever on a Nokia (or Windows Phone) at 441 ppi . It also packs a 20 Mp pureview camera, and four directional microphones for amazing sound capture “thanks to our high-performance digital mics, noise reduction and those magical software algorithms.”. The display is made of curved Gorilla glass 3, and has almost 180 degree viewing angles, meaning that full HD display will surely look amazing. The wait is over.

As part of the Nokia Lumia Icon launch, NokiaUS have released a video that compares the Samsung Galaxy SIV audio against that from the quadmic Rich Recording Nokia Lumia Icon. Note how the video quality looks in the Nokia Lumia Icon. It appears to have gone back to the ‘Purer’ more natural colours vs the high saturation we’re used to with Lumia and other competitors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMT442XIfjo Just the Icon audio.

Another promo for the Nokia Lumia Icon that’s just been launched today. It’s looking rather slick in the video (device wise) though the promo itself could look a little more than college project MyFirstCGI. New Nokia Lumia Icon captures life’s special moments, big and small, and plays them back like never before. Category : Lumia, Nokia, Windows Phone Hey, thanks for reading my post.

Along with the super-specced and super-large Lumia 1520 comes a second phablet, one that’s a bit more reasonable in terms of specs; making it more affordable, the Nokia Lumia 1320. This is our unboxing. The Lumia 1320, similar to the 1520 is a 6? beast, with a 720 p display instead of the Full HD 1080p one in the 1520, the 1320 clocks out with a ppi of 245, which is acceptable for the intended price-range of the device. The screen is an LCD IPS Gorilla glass 3 display, with Nokia’s amazing Clear Black display, meaning what it lacks in pixels it makes up for in actual display quality.  Inside the Lumia 1320 is well equipped to deal with the featherweight requests of Windows Phone, with a Dual core 1.7 Ghz Snapdragon S4 processor and 1 Gb of ram it essentially has the same processor as the Lumia 920 (which has a 1.5 GHz S4).  The 1320 has pretty much the same size and dimensions as the 1520, also sharing the same weight range (220 grams), meaning if you’re comfortable with one, you’ll ...

OPPO will soon launch a new color version of its N1 phablet. The upcoming Midnight Black Oppo N1 has been caught in the wild and should start selling any day now. Or so we think. The device comes in “dark blue” color, rocking the same specs as the “regular” white model. These include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 quad-core chip, 2GB of RAM and that awesome swivel camera with 13-megapixel sensor. Chances are this black (dark blue) N1 will also be available with CyanogenMod ROM pre-installed though we can’t be 100% certain. Also worth noting is that Oppo already has few different special edition devices, including a that model with CyanogenMod branding as well as N1 Pepsi Edition which isn’t available to the general public… [Via: GizChina] Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using ...

Steve Litchfield over at AllAboutWindowsPhone has put the Nokia Lumia 1520 against the Nokia Lumia 1020. The Nokia Lumia 1520 looks great. Seeing what the 1020 can produce however, just shows how good a camera they’ve packed in the 1020. Xenon’s crispness is also a must for me, though I am surprised (as was Steve) how clear the ‘movement’ shot is in Steve’s pic that 500ml in the bottle is readable (for LED). Can you imagine one day should ‘Nokia’ get LED as good as their xenon? A neat point Steve makes is how the 1520's camera will be seen in many more models (as per the 920). This would be great as it sees the general Nokia level of cameras rise all over again. Instead of having one super camera phone (e.g. N8 camera and then E7/E6 camera) for that year, you have several fantastic ones ones. http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/19120_The_Lumia_1520_stills_camera_h.php Cheers Alvester for the tip!
