More Leaked Images of Nokia 311 Emerge - MobilEgypt

Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia is preparing the launch of some new S40 handsets for the coming months, to complement the availability of high-end Windows Phone devices such as the Lumia 900. One of these is the Nokia 311, which was spotted in leaked images only several days ago, and which has made another appearance online. This time, the phone is accompanied by a leaked manual, which appears to be quite different from what we’ve already seen coming out from Nokia’s labs. Additionally, there are larger versions of the previously leaked images with the Nokia 311 and Nokia 305 and 306 S40 devices. Being entry-level handsets, all these phones will arrive on shelves with low hardware specifications, and some of the info that emerged on them confirms that. For example, the Nokia 311 will pack a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper on the back, and it will also offer support for WCDMA and WiFi connectivity. It is also expected to arrive on shelves with support for swipe gestures to perform various tasks, including answering a call or moving between screens. Pinch-and-zoom will also be included in the package, along with pull-down notifications, widgets, maps, and check lists. All these were extracted from the manual for Nokia 311, and resemble a lot with capabilities packed inside MeeGo, the OS running on Nokia’s N9 smartphone . Details on Nokia 305 and 306 are also available, but only few of them. The former is said to be a dual-SIM device with a 2MP camera on the back, while the latter is a single-SIM handset with a similar photo snapper. Nokia has been long touting plans to “connect the next billion,” and these phones should help it make new steps in this direction. More info on the matter might emerge as soon as tomorrow, during an event held in Pakistan, so stay tuned to learn the news.

Fry's stocks unlocked Nokia N9, is slightly misinformed about its specs - MobilEgypt

Sure, Nokia's Lumia 900 and 808 PureView may have garnered much of the spotlight lately, but lest we forgot about its flagship MeeGo handset, the N9 . If you've been anxiously hoping to somehow score this slab of polycarbonate unlocked in the US sans gray-market importers, apparently Fry's Electronics has you covered. Phone News spotted a listing for the phone in the store's latest weekly ad -- although upon closer inspection, it appears that the retailer isn't too sure about its actual specs. Aside from describing the 3.9- inch slab of polycarbonate as a 4.3- inch device, it's also flubbed on the OS, calling it "Mego." Perhaps the most interesting error, however, is that the handset's ClearBlack AMOLED display is listed as Super AMOLED -- Samsung's competing technology. Assuming these are merely errors, you'll be able to pick one up for a spendy $600. Hit up the source link below to view the full ad.

Seraku's Android mirror lets you reflect on your operating system - MobilEgypt

Phones, watches, TVs and in-car entertainment . Android has been put to work in many corners of our technological world. Now, it's reached another, less expected one -- mirrors. The Verge spotted itself the Smart Wash Basin prototype at Smartphone and Mobile Expo, and took a good look into it. The heavy lifting is done by a hidden Android tablet, and the reflective display is actually a separate monitor with a semitransparent piece of reflective glass. If you're thinking "smudges," hang fire, as RF proximity sensors are used, so you interact with it without smearing your paws across the shiny surface. The show prototype had water monitoring functions, and was coupled up to a set of scales in the floor. The manufacturer hopes one of the uses for the invention could be reading the news at the hairdresser. What we want to know is, when did salons suddenly go all futuristico?

Apple's iPad WiFi + 4G renamed 'iPad WiFi + Cellular' across many of its online stores - MobilEgypt

Remember Apple's new iPad WiFi + 4G? Well, forget that moniker, as this variant of the company's latest slate has been quietly re-dubbed as the iPad WiFi + Cellular. As noticed by 9to5Mac , the change occurred within the last "24-48 hours" across many of Apple's region specific webstores, including (but not limited to) those for the US, UK, Australia, Canada and various countries in Asia. If you'll recall, in many regions the best you'll get out of the slate is HSPA- connectivity (although, the slate is also equipped for LTE) -- something that Apple itself had considered good enough to be considered 4G, even after offering refunds to customers in Australia who (like many others) can't partake in its LTE. Interestingly, 9to5Mac also notes that a similar change hasn't made its way over to the iPad 2, which still has its cellular- equipped variant still dubbed, iPad 2 WiFi + 3G. We're reaching out to Apple for comment, so stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to hit up the source links below for more insight.

HTC Thunderbolt Gets New Non Ice Cream Sandwich Update - MobilEgypt

Since HTC announced it will upgrade Verizon's Thunderbolt to Ice Cream Sandwich at some point, every update that is not the hotly anticipated Android 4.0 matters less and less for those who are anxiously waiting for the important update. Dubbed software version 2.11.605.19 710RD , the update is pushed OTA (over the air) as of right now, though the official changelog still appears as “Coming Soon” at Verizon. Keep in mind that this update leaked last month in the form of a RUU file, so those who already flashed it won't need to do it again. Hopefully, this will be the last maintenance update before Verizon and HTC decided to start pushing the long awaited Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for HTC Thunderbolt. Although HTC Thunderbolt was initially launched last year with Android 2.2 Froyo out of the box, the smartphone already received a Gingerbread upgrade and is now expected to get another major update that will bring its firmware to Ice Cream Sandwich. All in all, the latest software update is around 61MB in size and it will take around 15-20 minutes to download it. An additional 10-20 minutes will be required for the update to install. Once the update is installed, it will be enabled with the Wireless Alerting System and it will support Cisco Any, which improves the VPN functionality of the smartphone. According to HTC, the latest update will also improve data connectivity, as well as device stability, which will translate into fewer device resets. More improvements have been added to the default mail application, which will allow Yahoo! Mail accounts to receive messages properly. It is also worth mentioning Thunderbolt devices won't be plagued by some bugs that previously affected users' overall experience, as HTC provided some fixes for these issues. For example, the update resolves all issues with Mobile Hotspot connectivity. In addition, all incoming calls now display the correct state, when applicable.

Verizon Rolls Out Motorola DROID X2 Maintenance Update - MobilEgypt

Two months ago, Verizon Wireless published the official changelog of a software update for Motorola DROID X2, though it did not provide any details regarding availability. Although the DROID X2 was launched at Verizon exactly one year ago with Android 2.2 Froyo on board, Motorola and Google have already delivered an Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade. The latest software update is meant to add some new applications, as well as to improve the phone's overall security, performance and stability. Software update 1.3.418.MB870.Verizon.en.US for Motorola DROID X2 is pushed OTA (over the air) in waves, so users might have to wait a bit more until they will get notified on the new software. Although the official changelog is still listed as “Coming Soon,” the folks over at AndroidCentral claim that DROID X2 users have already started to receive the update, which is 35MB in size. According to Verizon, it will take about 10 to 20 minutes to download the software, but that mostly depends on network conditions. Installation should take up to 5 – 10 more minutes, so make sure the DROID X2 has enough battery. Motorola DROID X2 owners who have yet to be notified on the update can check for it manually by going to Settings / About phone / System updates / Download. One of the most important changes is the addition of a Google Security Patch, which is meant to improve the security level. Furthermore, the DROID X2 will be pre-loaded with Verizon Video and VZ Navigator 3D City applications. It is also worth mentioning that the smartphone will be enabled with the Wireless Alerting System. Several fixes have been included as well, such as shortcut names, which can now be updated and saved, as well as the purchased ringtones that are now able to be saved and set. Last but not least, the keyboard Input Auto Error Correction setting now defaults to off.

Samsung Galaxy Aurora Concept Shows What Galaxy S IV Might Look Like - MobilEgypt

Samsung’s Galaxy S III – the company’s latest Android flagship device – is getting ready to make an official appearance on shelves in late May, a perfect opportunity for enthusiasts to start dreaming of the next smatphone in line, the Galaxy S IV. Galaxy S III brings along top-of-the- line hardware capabilities and features, which will most probably be offset by the various enhancements that its successor is expected to include. Coming from Alexander Black (via Concept-Phones), the Samsung Galaxy Aurora concept phone appears meant to offer a glimpse at what the future Galaxy S flagship could include. The project is not finished as of yet, but it can still impress, even if the Android 5.0 operating system flavor from Google was not packed in it. Galaxy Aurora sports a quad-core application processor that was clocked in at 2GHz, for increased performance capabilities. It would also include 4G connectivity capabilities, wireless router chip built-in, a heat resistant screen, and a 12- megapixel photo snapper on the back, while being powered by a 3500 mAh battery that should offer 20-22 hours of talk time. Galaxy Aurora would also come with a sleep mode for when you are resting your eyes, and will feature S Voice capabilities. Additionally, the device will be aware of the environment, thus being capable of silencing itself when needed. Over all, these features seem good enough for a successor to the powerful Galaxy S III, even if some of them would rather appear futuristic to you. However, it would not come too much as a surprise to learn that future smartphones will indeed include such capabilities, and that Samsung themselves decided to include them inside their next flagship Android device. After all, they did manage to bring top-of-the-line features inside each of the new Galaxy S model. However, keep in mind that this is only a concept device, and that not all of these get to arrive on shelves in the end.
