Nokia Has made a windows tablet review.

Nokia-made Windows tablet spotted in the wild:
At first, it was only rumoured in words and artist sketches, but this time, we have some actual photos of the perpetrator.

The internet has become home to more leaks than your bathroom sink, but these are the leaks we all love! This time, it’s an alleged Nokia Windows RT tablet that has posed for the camera. The leak comes courtesy of WPCentral Forums, where a user has posted a pair of images of the tablets along with some specs.

According to the post, the specs on the tablet read as follows: Tegra 3 1.3Ghz processor, 2GB RAM, HDMI-OUT, USB Port, SIM Slot, 16point touchscreen, running Windows RT. The specifications on the tablet seem to be a little dated, with most tablets nowadays already running the Tegra 3 processor, it would seem like this could have been an earlier prototype.

The rumours of a Nokia branded tablet have been around for quite some time, with two potential announcement dates also being hypothesized, but we’ve had nothing so far. All we know from various rumours is that Nokia is indeed working on a Windows 8 tablet, but there is no confirmation on whether it will actually make it to production, and if it does, there is no word on when that will be.

The windows platform has become somewhat of a mainstay and lifeline of both Microsoft AND Nokia, albeit for different reasons. While Nokia has been reporting good sales numbers for their Lumia handsets, it nearly isn’t enough to put the company back in the serious greens. A tablet, if done well, could be another step towards restoring Nokia’s older glory days, but till that happens, we’re just going to keep ourselves satisfied with the Lumia 1020 that launches on the 11th of July in New York.

Micromax canvas 4 review.

Micromax finally lifted the curtains from its much-awaited Canvas 4 smartphone. We spent some time with the device. Here are our first impressions of the features the smartphone brings to the table.
Micromax today announced the Canvas 4 smartphone. The device will be available to consumers this weekend for Rs. 17,999. We had some hands on time with the Canvas 4 at the launch event. Here are our first impressions of the smartphone.

The specifications of the Micromax Canvas 4 are pretty much what we expected of the device. It has a 5-inch IPS display with a 1280x720 pixel resolution. It is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and supports 16GB of built-in storage. You can add an additional 32GB of storage via a microSD card. The rear of the smartphone has a 13MP camera and the front has a 5MP camera. A 2000mAh battery powers the entire package. Straight out-of-the-box, the smartphone runs on Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. The smartphone boasts of dual-SIM capabilities.

One of the biggest problems with budget smartphones is that they don’t offer an OTA update feature. Micromax says it has addressed this problem with the Canvas 4, which has the ability to receive updates over the air.
Coming to the build of the Canvas 4, we it has changed from its predecessor, the Canvas HD, but not very dramatically. The face of the smartphone looks just like the Canvas HD, while the side of the smartphone has an aluminium finish very reminiscent of the iPhone 4. The rear panel has a plastic finish and at the event, there were two colours on display – white and dark grey. The white one looked a little cheap compared to the dark grey one. The device is still a fingerprint magnet. In terms of the connectivity options, we have the volume rocker to the left, the right has the power button, the top has the headphones jack and the bottom has the microUSB port – fairly standard.

Okay, so the Canvas 4’s hardware hasn’t been upgraded much when compared to the Canvas HD, but Micromax has added a slew of features to the smartphone to justify the Rs. 18,000 price point. To start with, you can blow on the display or shake the phone to unlock it. Before you ask, yes, this feature works. We tried it at the launch event. It looks quite odd, as though you are about to kiss the smartphone but it works nonetheless. Another addition to the functionality of the phone is that you will be able to use the touchscreen while wearing gloves. Whether this works as well as it did on the Lumia 920 is something we will comment on once we have the smartphone in for review.
Apart from adding a number of filters to the Canvas 4’s camera, a few nifty features have been added. You have the usual array of shooting modes and panorama. An interesting thing is that you not only have access to horizontal, but vertical panorama as well. You also have a burst mode with the ability to click 99 images.

One feature that we really liked on Samsung smartphones is the ability to watch a video in “pop out” mode on the display and continue working in the background. This feature has been brought to the Micromax Canvas 4. You can continue watching a video in a small window and check your mail, sent a text or browse the Internet in the background.

Speaking about added features to the regular video playback capabilities, one of the features that NEVER worked for me on the Samsung Galaxy S4 was Smart Pause. Why? Because I wear glasses and the smartphone apparently couldn’t detect my eyes – a frustrating experience. The Canvas 4 has brought this “Smart Pause” feature and I have to say at the event, it worked quite well for me. Every time I looked away from the smartphone, the video would pause. The final verdict of this feature will be given once we have the smartphone in our hands for review.
In the Canvas 4’s gallery app, you also have the ability to watch a preview of the video when it is in a thumbnail. No need to wave your finger of the display to see the video as you do on the S4. The thumbnail gives you a playback of the video as and when the thumbnail is on the display.
While watching a video on Canvas 4, you have access to the brightness as well as volume controls on the display itself. Just swipe your finger on the display and you can control the brightness as well as the volume.
You also have access to a bunch of gesture controls on the Canvas 4. To start with, you can simply flip the phone on its face if you don’t want to attend a call. Flipping it over during the call switches on the loud speaker. Putting the phone to your ear when a contact is open on the display dials that contact. We have seen these gesture controls before and it is nice to see Micromax implement them on the Canvas 4.
Apart from access to the Google Play store, you have access to a lot of Micromax content such as the M! Zone+, M!Live, gaming hub and more.

So, yes, the hardware of the smartphone isn’t really a revolution in the budget space, as we were expecting from the Canvas 4. Does this justify the 18,000-price point? We aren’t sure, but as of now the Canvas 4 feels like old wine in a new bottle. How this fares in the market is something we will comment on once we have reviewed the smartphone.
Just to put things into perspective regarding the specifications of the smartphone, here is a quick specs comparison between the Canvas 4, Karbonn Smart Titanium S9, Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro and the Xolo X1000.
