If you are planning to buy a tablet anytime soon, wait until July as you see what Google has to offer. Certain reports indicate towards the launch of the second-generation 7-inch Nexus 2 tablet that Google plans to unveil in July. The ASUS-made Nexus 7 tab has brought valuable achievement to the internet search giant. Considering its features, the Nexus 7 2 is expected to feature a 7-inch low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) panel, which is produced mainly by AU Optronics (AUO). AUO is the same firm that has the order for Apple’s iPad Mini 2. Two days ago, yet another report in DigiTimes claimed that Elan Microelectronics is on track to ship touchscreen controller ICs for the next Nexus 7 iteration. Apparently, it is believed that Google will roll out around 1 million Nexus 7 2 tablets before the end May. It’s also speculated that the number might touch the mark [+more]

Add another name to the list of September releases: Nexus 5, which certain reports suggest that Google will launch this year. However, the internet search giant remained lip tight at the Google 2013 I/O event and spilled no beans on the much-anticipated mobile operating system Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie and the next-gen Nexus 5 smartphone. The predecessor to Nexus 5, the Nexus 4, which released last year in November, was made in collaboration with LG, only to stay ahead as one of the most popular and valuable Android smartphone till date. Ever since the Nexus 4 was launched, there were supply issues surrounding the device. Low price, stylish look and innovative features made the Nexus 4 a success. The handset took quite a while to reach the shelves all around the globe. However, Google pushed its production process and therefore the device is now available on Google Play Stores [+more]

Recently this week in San Francisco, Google held its annual I/O 2013 conference, where the internet search giant did its best to woo developers and iOS device owners with its announcements. The entire conference was highlighted by a lengthy keynote, where a list of new features and innovative services were declared that made all iOS users sit up and listen with all ears. Clearly Google was seen all set to plant an attack on its main competitor Apple, that’s currently the world’s most valuable company.

Google in Mood to Wander- Searching For Inspiration For Google Nexus 4

Fans of Android and Google were eagerly waiting for Google’s I/O conference to be held next month, expecting the release of Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. But they are going to be in for some disappointment as some key sources have confirmed that the new Android OS will not be launched during this event. It has been quite some time since Google came up with an update to its Android Jelly Bean, but the wait seems to have gotten just a little longer. Apparently, the delay is being caused by Google’s decision to allow its OEMs to update their existing range of phones to Android 4.2.2. That also means that we won’t get to see the Motorola X or the Nexus 5 anytime soon either. But instead, we might get a refreshed version of the Nexus 4 with 16 GB and 32 GB of internal storage. We’re expecting the 16 [+more]

Google Nexus 5 Might Put Apple iPhone 6 To Sleep Even Before It Emerges To Life

Artists conceptualize images even before the canvas arrives. Same for smartphone enthusiasts. When the spaces and allied renditions are ready, why not take a shot at fixing the popularity counters for both of these. The race for glory begins! The Apple iPhone 6 is probably set to be Apple’s first foray into the phablet arena and the iPhone 6 seems akin to a gladiator in its avatar. Given that its predecessors were not as good as we anticipated, this time the makers will tighten its belt well. With Apple promising to sow seeds that could lead to a juicier iPhone, let us wait and watch. The Nexus in its LG avatar was worth a date or tow but this has only catalyzed our appetite to see more of romance with the Google Nexus 5. With a better camera as compared to any of the Nexus elder siblings, this Android-backed device [+more]

Peace ho! It is time for tales of Google God. This resonates with the buzz that the Nexus 5 is already making. When else would you conjure images of something yet to be made but on heavenly ground? Move from the Nexus 5, we have studied possibilities of what the Google Nexus 6 and the Nexus X tab might look like. The Nexus X will come in an envelope avatar, they say. Sounds Greek? For me it is. Jibes apart, the smartphone packs in a unique ‘X Envelope’ concept that might come with a backside in edgy avatar. Will this make the grip Nexus 6 offers re-define sleek? Too early to decide! Powered by Android 6.0 Milkshake, the device displays gall aplenty. Add to this, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, near field communications, wireless charging, 4.6-inch 320ppi (pixels per inch) 1280 x 768 flexible IPS) OLED display and 10-MP clicker on the [+more]

Google Nexus 5 With Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie To Have GPS-Assisted Camera?

By   |  Tech Oh! Mania, The Wizard of Widget  |  
Google-Nexus-5-Specifications1

After the success of the Android Jelly Bean OS, Google has kept itself extremely busy creating a formidable upgrade in the form of Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. Based on a patent filed by Google, we feel that the Nexus 5 smartphone could use its GPS sensor to adjust the camera settings. The Nexus 5 could use the light sensor, temperature sensor and accelerometer to adjust the camera to the conditions around and click the best possible picture. This means that the Nexus 5 camera could become one of the best phone cameras in the market. Of course, for the finickier people, there could still be manual settings to adjust. However, what we are yet to find out is if this GPS-assisted camera feature is unique to the Nexus 5 or if it would be a feature available on the Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie OS itself. But we guess [+more]

Samsung Galaxy S4: Why The Giant Can’t Go Ahead And Give Us Key Lime Pie To Beat HTC One?

Samsung-Galaxy-S-4

When we first heard rumors about Samsung’s flagship smartphone for 2013, the Galaxy S4, we’d heard that it could possibly be one of the first phones to come with a brand new Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. But, Samsung didn’t wait for Google to finish making the OS and went ahead and brought out the Galaxy S4 without it. While Google’s supposedly planning to release the new version of Android during its developer conference in May, Samsung’s flagship is expected to come out by the end of this month. So how soon really will the Galaxy S4 get the Android 5.0 update? Samsung has promised that it will dish out the update ASAP, but from past experience, we can only imagine how much time that would take. Of course, it would mean that Samsung would have to make the necessary changes in its TouchWiz interface too to make sure it’s [+more]

Google Goofs Up Its Nexus 10 Gimmick—Too Much To Give, Too Less To See

Emotions do work up excitement. Marketing through mass media indeed appeals to user emotions to excite them to grab a product. This is perhaps the bottom-line that Google believes with its vehement Nexus 10 advertisement campaign. However, all said and done, does the advert work up reasons why it could be better than Samsung Galaxy series and Apple’s iPads? The answer lies in- No! Though we see a lot of touching, caressing and the like on the Nexus screen, would a newbie gauge the real meaning? How could you understand that Google focuses on the new Android 4.2 Jelly Bean in the tablet? The reference to Google play Books, Google+ and Magazine too remains undermined. We saw the hangouts, the video conference possibilities on the Nexus via the advert. Nevertheless, how could Google forget to highlight that the tablet supports 10 video feeds at once! How would we know until [+more]
