YU's Project Caesar gets teased again, has some specs outed
3/25/2015 3:30:05 PM
Earlier this month we first told you about Project Caesar, the codename for YU's next Android smartphone. The company is a spinoff from Micromax, the biggest Indian phone maker, and it launched its first device, the Yureka, a while back. This has been pretty well received, with its decent midrange specs, very low price, and CyanogenMod OS at the helm. So will YU be able to reprise that performance with Project Caesar? The company obviously thinks so, and it's released a new teaser for the device. Thankfully, this also reveals some of its specs. As you can see from the image above, the next YU handset will come with a 64-bit chipset and will sport 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. YU contrasts this with an unnamed Xiaomi phone, which we're assuming is the Redmi 2. That device has two versions, the cheaper of which does indeed come with only 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, along with the 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC. This isn't the first time YU mocks Xiaomi, it's done the same in its first teaser for Project Caesar - on that occasion focusing on the fact that the Chinese company's low-end handsets are still running Android 4.4 KitKat, whereas the upcoming Caesar should have Android Lollipop on board from day one. Since this teaser campaign is continuing, we assume we'll see an official introduction of the Project Caesar device sometime soon. We should then find out if it will indeed be a worthy competitor to the Xiaomi Redmi 2. Some rumors have claimed that YU's Project Caesar will arrive in April and will be priced at INR 6,500, which is about $104 or €95. Source |...
Xiaomi wants to sell 100 million smartphones this year
3/25/2015 2:30:11 PM
Xiaomi sure hopes its parts suppliers will be able to keep up with its growth this year. Lei Jun, the company's CEO (pictured to the left), has announced that Xiaomi plans to sell 80 to 100 million smartphones in 2015. When you compare this to the "more than 61 million" units that it managed to move last year, it quickly becomes apparent that this mobile device maker won't stop challenging its competitors. Xiaomi's growth so far has been extremely big (especially when you factor in that it still officially operates in only a handful of markets), but the company shows no signs of stopping in 2015. Hence, Lei Jun's hope that Xiaomi's suppliers will be able to complete the production tasks it's set for them, thus making it easier for eager customers to buy the phones. All of this was said at Xiaomi's Global Supplier Conference which was held today in China. The smartphone maker's CEO also reiterated how his company makes a lot of efforts to ensure the effective quality control of its wares, always striving to release high quality...
In the UK, BT launches its own 4G LTE mobile contracts
3/25/2015 1:25:24 PM
While it's waiting around for regulatory approval for its £12.5 billion acquisition of EE, BT has decided to swiftly re-enter the mobile market in the UK with a few SIM-only 4G LTE plans. The telecoms giant is, for now, offering these as an MVNO which uses EE's network. Obviously though, the options should multiply when BT becomes the owner of EE in the coming months. BT isn't giving you 'free' phones at this point in time, opting to release only three 'bring your own phone' SIM-only deals. If you have BT Broadband, these start at £5 per month. The cheapest plan gives you 200 minutes, unlimited texts, and 500MB of data. Next up there's a £12 option with 500 minutes, unlimited texts, and 2GB of data. The most expensive variant costs £20 per month and offers unlimited minutes and texts along with a whopping 20GB of data. All plans are 4G-enabled, and all require you to sign a one-year contract. They all give you access to BT's Wi-Fi hotspots too. The aforementioned prices are only valid if you have BT Broadband, otherwise you need to pay £5 per month more for each one. Source |...
Sony Xperia E4: The odd successor
3/25/2015 12:38:18 PM
Sony started small with the E-series and hasn't tried anything crazy since but the entry-level lineup is in its fourth generation now and offering quite a bit of choice to the budget-conscious buyer. Of course, everything you get in this price range requires a certain trade-off.
