				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Intel seems to have finally got hold of the bigger fish – Samsung. As per the latest benchmark results that have surfaced in GFXbench database, Samsung is using the Intel Atom Z2560 Clover Trail+ dual-core processor in its new 10-inch tablet.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/samsung-gt-p5200.png" rel="lightbox[48385]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48386" alt="Samsung Gt-P5200" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/samsung-gt-p5200.png" width="510" height="628" title="Samsung to use Intel Atom processor in new 10 inch tablet" /></a></p>
<p>Carrying the model number GT-P5200, the tablet has been code-named Santos, the same codename that we had <a href="http://androidos.in/2013/01/samsungs-jk-shin-confirms-8-inch-galaxy-note-for-mwc-as-new-tablets-leak/">heard in the past associated with Samsung’s rumoured 10-inch tablet</a>.<span id="more-48385"></span></p>
<p>The benchmark listing also reveals the processor will be clocked at 1.6GHz and will come with PowerVR SGX 544 MP2 GPU. Other features of the tablet will include 10.1-inch WXGA (1280×800) display and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.</p>
<p>Apart from the GT-P5200 listing, a benchmark listing for <a href="http://gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benchmark=gfx27&amp;D=Samsung+GT-P5210&amp;testgroup=system" target="_blank">GT-P5210</a> has also been spotted, which is going to be the Wi-Fi only version of the tablet.</p>
<p>Other details were not confirmed in these benchmark listings but a previous report had suggested that this tablet will come with 5MP rear camera and 16/ 32GB of internal storage.</p>
<p>Apart from the obvious tablet details leak, the presence of an Intel Atom processor in Samsung’s Android tablet is the more important news here. Intel has been struggling to get bigger manufacturers use its silicon in their Android products, however we recently saw Asus use Atom processor in Fonepad and now Samsung – seems like Intel’s smartphone/ tablet dream might finally come true.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is Google working on another Nexus Q like media streamer? The evidence seems to suggest that. As a mystery Google hardware device marked as a media player has appeared on FCC for certification.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/h840-sample-label-fcc.jpg" rel="lightbox[48379]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48380" alt="H840" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/h840-sample-label-fcc.jpg" width="508" height="386" title="Mystery Google media player appears at FCC" /></a></p>
<p>At any given point of time, Google is tinkering with multiple hardware devices, which are not necessarily meant for full release, so this is in no way a confirmation of the impending arrival of Google Nexus Q successor, but we won’t be surprised if it indeed turns out to be a real deal.<span id="more-48379"></span></p>
<p>Details are scarce at this moment. The FCC listing shows the device carrying product name – H840 device, which doesn’t really reveal anything. In other details, the model number is listed at H2G2-42, a reference of Hitchhiker&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy, which too does mean anything.</p>
<p>The FCC listing does show this media player featuring Wi-Fi a/b/g/n connectivity and a USB port. Apart from that we are still in dark.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/h2g2-42-fcc.jpg" rel="lightbox[48379]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48381" alt="H840" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/h2g2-42-fcc.jpg" width="510" height="253" title="Mystery Google media player appears at FCC" /></a></p>
<p>To remind you, the company’s first attempt at a media streamer – Nexus Q, turned out to be a failure. While, the device looked beautiful and had a nice build quality but it lacked in features. It also carried a hefty price tag, which really didn’t justify anything. After keeping it on pre-order for some time, the company removed the listing, saying it is going to improve it. So, the question arises whether H840 device is an improved version of Nexus Q or just a hardware experiment from Google.</p>
<p>We hope to know more in the coming days.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After Google <a title="Google TV updated to Android 4.2.2" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/google-tv-updated-to-android-4-2-2/">announced </a>that it is updating the Google TV platform to Android 4.2.2 and bringing it in sync with the normal Android release, LG has now confirmed that its Google TVs will get the update in third quarter.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/lg_google_tv_android_4.2.2_jelly_bean.jpg" rel="lightbox[48370]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48371" alt="LG Google TVs" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/lg_google_tv_android_4.2.2_jelly_bean.jpg" width="500" height="386" title="LG Google TVs to get Android 4.2.2 update in Q3" /></a></p>
<p>The company was not any more specific than Q3, so we will just have to wait and watch. The Korean manufacturer has however shared some details on this update, which were surprisingly missing from the Google’s little note about the update on Google+.<span id="more-48370"></span></p>
<p>According to LG, with Android 4.2.2 update, Google TVs will support more applications, including games that provide a greater level of interactivity and advanced graphics.</p>
<p>As, Google revealed in a Google TV session at I/O, Google TV platform will no longer be a fork of Android and will be like normal Android release. LG has confirmed the same this in its press note, which states that the latest Jelly Bean update for Google TV supports the Android Native Development Kit (NDK) so Google TV owners can have the widest, most diverse selection of apps to choose from. Smartphone apps designed using the NDK will run on Google TV with little to no modifications. With NDK compatibility, users can now play more games on a bigger LG Google TV screen.</p>
<p>In simpler words, from now on any apps developed using the Android NDK will work just fine on Google TV devices, no longer the need for dedicated apps for Google TV; developers have to just keep in mind that their apps look decent on a 32-inch or 54-inch television screen.</p>
<p>Coming to LG specific Google TV update, according to LG, the upcoming update will also bring LG’s patented 3D Game Changer to its Google TVs. “Changer produces a fully immersive effect by displaying 2D games in enhanced 3D mode, for an effect previously available only in movies filmed with 3D equipment,” LG noted in a press release.</p>
<p>Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update will be released as an over-the-air (OTA) download for existing LG Google TVs. It will reach USA in Q3, as we noted above.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sony is really expanding its smartphone portfolio this year. The company has already announced as many as six smartphones and have more incoming. One of these incoming smartphones just showed up for a photo shoot in China for us to take a look. <a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/xperia-ul_1.jpg" rel="lightbox[48347]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48349" alt="Sony Xperia UL" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/xperia-ul_1.jpg" width="272" height="375" title="Sony Xperia UL spotted in the wild, packs quad core Snapdragon 600" /></a></p>
<p>Dubbed as Xperia UL, the smartphone has been talked about <a href="http://androidos.in/2013/03/sony-to-launch-xperia-a-ul/">earlier in the rumours</a>, but this is the first time that we are looking at its images.<span id="more-48347"></span></p>
<p>As per the previous information, the phone will pack a 5-inch 1080p display as the company flagship Xperia Z and images seem to confirm the size of the display. Other rumoured specs of the phone include quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of on-board storage and 2300 mAh battery.</p>
<p>There is still no word when we are going to see an official announcement but previous report suggests that it might reach Japan first.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Given the fact that Samsung Galaxy S4 does not support the original TecTiles NFC tag, we all were waiting for their successor, which have arrived today. According to Samsung, the TecTiles 2 NFC tags are perfectly compatible with Galaxy S4 and are now available for $14.99 in a pack for five at Samsung.com. The tags will also be available at other stores next month.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/tectiles-2.png" rel="lightbox[48342]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48343" alt="tectiles 2" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/tectiles-2.png" width="467" height="425" title="Samsung announces TecTiles 2 NFC tags for Galaxy S4" /></a></p>
<p>Compatible with NFC chips that support MIFARE technology, Samsung’s new TecTiles 2 can be programed to do a lot of actions on your Galaxy S4 including the following:<span id="more-48342"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Change Phones settings</li>
<li>Switch phone profiles</li>
<li>Launch an app</li>

Samsung has also revealed that TacTiles 2 work with Galaxy S III as well as other NFC compatible smartphones from the company.</p>
<p><strong>How do TecTiles work:</strong></p>
<p>TecTile tags use a small NFC receiver that trigger your smartphone into completing the pre-defined tasks when you tap them</p>

<p>To remind you, HTC Sense 5.0 was first introduced with the company’s <a title="HTC One" href="http://androidos.in/products/phone/htc-one/" target="_blank">HTC One smartphone</a> and it brings several features like Blinkfeed and HTC Zoe. Tong has confirmed that both Blinkfeed and Zoe will be coming to Butterfly, but we will not see features like Sense TV, which are hardware dependent.<span id="more-48336"></span></p>
<p>Tong has also stated that Butterfly is going to help the company in its second quarter earnings as it is selling pretty well in Japan.</p>
<p>Originally launched last year, HTC Butterfly was the first smartphone with full HD display and the company is <a title="HTC to launch second-generation Butterfly phone this year: Report" href="http://androidos.in/2013/03/htc-butterfly-2/" target="_blank">already preparing a successor</a> to it. This rumoured successor will be released in second half of 2013 and will most likely be the company’s flagship for H2.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite announcing an impressive smartphone, HTC has not been able to get it in the consumer hands because of production issues. Now, the company has announced that production of HTC One is rising sharply and it will double in May from previous month, but the question arises whether it is already late.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/htc-one-a.jpg" rel="lightbox[48330]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48331" alt="HTC One" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/htc-one-a.jpg" width="510" height="383" title="HTC to double HTC One production capacity, but is it already too late?" /></a></p>
<p>Probably yes, because the companies no longer have years to sell their smartphones, new technologies arrive every month and we see new flagships every six months. Since <a title="HTC One launched; packs 4.7-inch 1080p display, Ultrapixel camera" href="http://androidos.in/2013/02/htc-one-launch/">announcing the phone in February</a>, the company has already wasted over two months and Samsung Galaxy S4, the main competitor to HTC One, is close to 10 million shipments.<span id="more-48330"></span></p>
<p>“Our capacity is expected to rise significantly starting from mid-May,” Jack Tong, president of HTC North Asia, said at a news conference in Taipei. “We are optimistic about our high-end sales during April and June.”</p>
<p>In related news, HTC One might be <a title="E-retailer starts taking HTC One orders" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/e-retailer-starts-taking-htc-one-orders/">very close to India debut</a> as one online retailer has started taking the orders and we are hearing from brick and mortar stores that first stocks should land around May 20. Already facing a delay of around a month, the prospects of HTC One in the Indian market don’t really looks good.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like HTC One is finally hitting the Indian shores. One Indian retailer <a href="http://www.saholic.com/mobile-phones/htc-one-m7-1006077" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Saholic</a> has started taking the orders for HTC One smartphone for INR 42,900, but is promising to ship it in eight days, suggesting they might still be waiting for the actual stocks. <a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/htc-one-silver.jpg" rel="lightbox[48317]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-41650" alt="HTC One" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/htc-one-silver.jpg" width="509" height="351" title="E retailer starts taking HTC One orders" /></a></p>
<p>According to the information we have received so far, first HTC One stocks are expected to reach brick and mortar stores and online retailers around May 20, following which they shall start shipping.<span id="more-48317"></span></p>
<p>Originally announced for the <a href="http://androidos.in/2013/04/htc-one-india-price/">Indian market in April</a>, the phone was earlier supposed to become available last month itself but was delayed.</p>
<p>To remind you, HTC One features 4.7-inch 1080p full HD display, 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. The phone also packs an ultrapixel camera, 32GB of internal storage, 2300 mAh battery and Android 4.1.</p>
<p>HTC has included the latest version of its Sense UI on the phone, which brings <a href="http://androidos.in/2013/02/htc-one-software-preview/">Blinkfeed, HTC Zoe, Sense TV</a> and other features to the phone.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apart from all the consumer-centric services and products, Google has also unveiled quite a few developer specific features at the on-going <a href="http://androidos.in/category/events/google-io-2013/" target="_blank">Google I/O 2013</a>. We have already told you about <a title="Google Play game services official, aims to bring social &amp; cloud features to games" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/google-play-game-services-official-aims-to-bring-social-cloud-features-to-games/">Google Play games services</a> and <a title="Google introduces Play for Education, aims to take Android to classrooms" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/google-introduces-play-for-education-aims-to-take-android-to-classrooms/">Google Play for Education</a> and now it is the turn of new location-related APIs. Google is aiming to help app developers in building better apps and still not eat up all of user’s smartphone battery life with these APIs.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/gps-location-apis.png" rel="lightbox[48312]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48313" alt="location APIs" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/gps-location-apis.png" width="340" height="230" title="Google unveils new APIs to help developers use location services effectively" /></a></p>
<p>Google has announced three location related APIs &#8211; Fused Location Provider, Activity recognition and Geofencing. Let us look a little deeper:<span id="more-48312"></span></p>
<h3>Fused Location Provider API:</h3>
<p>This new location API helps developers in finding out the user’s location in a more efficient manner. According to Google, it uses less than one per cent of battery per hour. It will use they use all the phone’s sensors—not just GPS—to more quickly and accurately target user location.</p>
<p>“The Fused Location Provider intelligently manages the underlying location technology and gives you the best location according to your needs. We’ve simplified the location APIs and completely rewritten our location algorithm to make location more accurate, flexible and use less battery,” Google wrote in a blog post.</p>
<h3>Activity recognition API:</h3>
<p>This new API allows developers to know whether the user is walking, cycling or driving using the accelerometer data and machine learning. It should help developers in building more contextual apps.</p>
<p>“New activity recognition API makes it easy to check the the user’s current activity — still, walking, cycling, and in-vehicle — with very efficient use of the battery. We use low-power sensors and machine-learning classifiers to recognize the activity, giving you both both high accuracy and low battery usage,” Google noted.</p>
<h3>Geofencing API:</h3>
<p>The last of three new APIs, geofencing allows developers to create virtual boundaries (geofences) using real world geographical data and trigger actions when the user enters of leaves these.  This API makes it easy for devs to create up to 100 map-based triggers.</p>
<p>“Using the new geofencing API, your app can set up geographic boundaries around specific locations and then receive notifications when the user enters or leaves those areas,” Google explained.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to Google’s plans to make this year’s I/O more developer-centric, the company did not announce Android 4.3 or Nexus 7 successor at the event. So, when is the next Nexus 7 tablet coming? Seems like, we are going to see it in July.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/next-nexus-7.jpg" rel="lightbox[48307]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48259" alt="Next Nexus 7" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/next-nexus-7.jpg" width="510" height="410" title="Nexus 7 successor to go on sale in July: Report" /></a></p>
<p>According to a report on <a href="http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20130515PD215.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Digitimes</a>, Google plans to start selling the next-generation Nexus 7 tablet in July and will keep the existing price. There is no way to confirm this, but we don’t really see Google waiting too long to launch the Nexus 7 II.<span id="more-48307"></span></p>
<p>The report also adds that <a title="Did Google accidentally reveal next Nexus 7 tablet in this promo?" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/did-google-accidentally-reveal-next-nexus-7-tablet-in-this-promo/" target="_blank">Nexus 7 II</a> will use Japan display’s 1920x1200p resolution LTPS TFT panel. Google reportedly plans to sell 6-8 million new Nexus tablet units in the second half of 2013.</p>
<p>As per <a title="Alleged specs of Google Nexus 7 successor appear online" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/alleged-specs-of-google-nexus-7-successor-appear-online/">previous reports</a>, the tablet is packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor (probably Snapdragon 600 or S4 Pro) along with 2GB of RAM, 5MP rear camera, front camera and Android 4.3.</p>
<p>Google could announce the Nexus 7 II alongside Android 4.3, which is <a title="Android 4.3, White Nexus 4 launching on June 10: Report" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/android-4-3-white-nexus-4-launching-on-june-10-report/">now rumoured to be arriving in June</a> and then begin selling the tablet in July.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nexus 4 is <a title="LG India launches Nexus 4 for INR 25,990" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/lg-india-launches-nexus-4-for-inr-25990/">finally here</a>. After six months of going on sale in the United States, this LG built Nexus smartphone is <a title="Nexus 4 now on pre-order for INR 25,990, expected to ship in fourth week of May" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/google-nexus-4-india/">set to land</a> in Indian retail stores. Priced at INR 25,990, it is the best Android smartphone that you can buy at this price. Certainly, there are better devices out there, but not at the pricing.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/lg-google-nexus-4.jpeg" rel="lightbox[48302]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48303" alt="Google Nexus 4" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/lg-google-nexus-4.jpeg" width="400" height="303" title="Nexus 4 is the best Android phone you can buy at INR 26,000" /></a></p>
<p>Why do I think that Nexus 4 is the best Android smartphone at INR 25,990 in the Indian market? Let’s find out.<span id="more-48302"></span></p>
<h3>It is a Nexus phone</h3>
<p>What is the biggest advantage of buying Nexus 4? It is a Nexus device – built by LG as per guidelines from Google directly. Running a pure Android version, it is the Google’s reference device for other manufacturers.</p>
<p>What can be better than Google’s implementation of Android? Bloated manufacturer skins – certainly not.</p>
<p>In addition, Nexus devices get guaranteed Android updates, within days of Google’s announcement of a new Android version.  No more looking for custom ROMs to get latest Android version (you can alweays use them for other reasons, but you don’t need them for Android updates).</p>
<h3>Developer/ modding friendly</h3>
<p>It is developer friendly device and allows tinkering. Unlock the bootloader, root the phone, do whatever the hell you want to do with it and when you get bored, go to Google and download a factory image and flash it to your phone and it is as good as it was when you bought it.</p>
<h3>Excellent value for money</h3>
<p>Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor, it is almost as powerful as the latest flagships from other smartphone makers. As it is six months old, you can’t expect it to crush the latest phones in the benchmarks, but it will give you a great real-life performance and can easily take on any task you throw at it.</p>
<p>With 2GB of RAM inside, you don’t need to worry about your phone being sluggish when there are lots of apps open.</p>
<p>The camera is decent enough and also gives you access to Photo Sphere feature to take 360 degree images.</p>
<p>And, don’t compare the India pricing to the US Google Play price ($349 + $50 (<em>taxes + shipping</em>)), we can’t expect LG India to match that, anyways, you are paying just INR 4,000 premium over the US price, which is a better deal than most countries that got the phone directly from LG.</p>
<p>There are obviously some issues with the phone as are with all other phones, none of the smartphones are perfect.</p>
<p><i>So, this is why we think that Nexus 4 is the best smartphone you can buy at INR 25,990, what do you guys think, do you agree with me? Or, do you find other phones to be to be better option?</i></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google has announced that Glass users are getting seven more apps on their wearable augmented reality glasses. These apps are Twitter, CNN, Tumblr, Facebook, Evernote, Elle and Ice Breaker.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/twitter-for-glass-a.png" rel="lightbox[48294]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48295" alt="Twitter" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/twitter-for-glass-a.png" width="510" height="287" title="Twitter for Google Glass out; CNN, Tumblr, Facebook & Evernote to follow" /></a></p>
<p>Twitter is already available via google.com/myglass and other six apps should also reach the platform in the coming days. These applications join the already existing Path and New York Times apps for Glass.<span id="more-48294"></span></p>
<p><b>Here is quick guide to what all the seven apps can do on Glass:</b></p>
<ul>
<li><b>Twitter:</b> Share photos, see twitter notifications for mentions, DMs and Tweets from users for whom you’ve turned on notifications, reply to, retweet or favorite these Tweets.</li>
<li><b>CNN</b>: Look at select news alerts (you can choose which alters you want and when), read or hear aloud a short summary and watch a video clip of the news.</li>
<li><b>Elle</b>: See select sections of the mag, swipe through photos from a story, hear a section of a story read aloud, add stories to a reading list for later and share stories with friends.</li>
<li><b>Facebook</b>: Share photos, read posts</li>
<li><b>Tumblr</b>: Read full feed or just select updates</li>
<li><b>Evernote</b>: Read previously saved notes, like a grocery list, on Glass</li>
<li><b>Ice Breaker</b> <b>game</b>: See a notification of someone who is also playing the same game nearby and then people introduce themselves and take a picture of one another, rate their conversation and earn points.</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost a month after it was scheduled to launch, Lenovo K900 smartphone is finally going on sale in China this week. The company today sent out a press release informing that its first Intel Clover Trail+ smartphone is out in China and will be released in select international markets this summer. The company has not given a clear release schedule for other markets but as we have been seeing reports of India launch for a long time, may be it is heading to Indian shores soon.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/lenovo-k900.jpg" rel="lightbox[48290]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47271" alt="Lenovo K900" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/lenovo-k900.jpg" width="510" height="497" title="Lenovo K900 goes on sale in China this week, other markets to follow" /></a></p>
<p>“Smartphones are a critical component of Lenovo’s PC+ strategy and the Lenovo K900 is an example of this strategy in action. With its cutting-edge design and intuitive, optimized user experience, K900 offers China’s smartphone users a fresh, new option,” said Liu Jun, senior vice president, Lenovo and President of the Lenovo Business Group.<span id="more-48290"></span></p>
<p>Lenovo has also revealed that it plans to take its smartphone business to more markets. The company already retails its Android phones in select countries including India and Philippines apart from China.</p>
<p>“Lenovo’s smartphone business is growing fast in global markets. In 2013, we will add 10 more countries to our smartphone footprint, and by year-end we will cover most of the world’s emerging markets,” Liu Jun added.</p>
<p>Looks like Lenovo is aiming to be big player in the smartphone arena and it is targeting emerging markets first.</p>
<p>Coming back to Lenovo K900, the smartphone comes with 2GHz Intel Atom Z2580 dual-core processor 5.5-inch full HD IPS display, 13MP rear camera, and Android 4.2.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Android 4.3 might not have made an appearance at Google I/O, but that doesn’t mean we will have to wait for it a long time. A report at <a href="http://androidandme.com/2013/05/news/white-nexus-4-and-android-4-3-coming-june-10th/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Android and Me</a> suggests that Google is planning to announce Android 4.3 on June 10.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/jelly-bean.jpeg" rel="lightbox[48286]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33049" alt="Jelly Bean" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/jelly-bean.jpeg" width="497" height="373" title="Android 4.3, White Nexus 4 launching on June 10: Report" /></a></p>
<p>Although the date is yet to be officially confirmed, it looks possible that we will see Android 4.3 in less than a month. As per Android and Me sources, Google intentionally booted Android 4.3 from Google I/O 2013as it wanted to showcase their ability to release new services and APIs without updating the Android versions, which they did.<span id="more-48286"></span></p>
<p>Anyways, Android 4.3 isn’t really going to be a major Android update. It is already confirmed to be packing the <a title="Android to get built-in Bluetooth Smart Ready support this year" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/android-to-get-built-in-bluetooth-smart-ready-support-this-year/" target="_blank">native support for Bluetooth Smart and Smart Ready</a> and we can expect similar platform friendly tweaks here and there.</p>
<p>Android 4.3 isn’t the only thing that Google is going to announce on June 10, Android and Me also notes that the elusive White Nexus 4 is really going to be available via Google Play; yes it is not a mirage of something else.</p>
<p>They were able to get their hands on one unit of White Nexus 4 at Google I/O and have also learnt that Google will release it alongside Android 4.3 on June 10.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After defending the lack of usable internal storage on 16GB version of Galaxy S4, Samsung did a U-turn today and told <a href="http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-changes-mind-will-look-at-storage-on-galaxy-s4-50011229/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CNET</a> that it is listening to everyone and might push a software update to free up some storage space.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/samsung-galaxy-s-4_a.jpg" rel="lightbox[48281]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48282" alt="Samsung Galaxy S4" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/samsung-galaxy-s-4_a.jpg" width="510" height="383" title="Samsung might free up storage space on Galaxy S4" /></a></p>
<p>Samsung did not promise anything or revealed how it was planning to free more storage space in its flagship smartphone.<span id="more-48281"></span></p>
<p><b>Here is the complete Samsung statement (via CNET):</b></p>
<blockquote><p>We appreciate this issue being raised and we will improve our communications. Also, we are reviewing the possibility to secure more memory space through further software optimisation.</p>
<p>Samsung is committed to listening to our customers and responding to their needs as part of our innovation process.</p></blockquote>
<p><b>Background:</b></p>
<p>Samsung’s Galaxy S4 smartphone comes with around 8GB of free internal storage in the 16GB model, which is almost half of what the company is promising to the consumers.</p>
<p>The phone does pack a microSD card slot, but as users cannot install apps on SD card on Galaxy S4, it is really of no use to gamers or heavy app users. Such users need space in their internal memory to install graphic intensive games that can go up to 1GB or apps that take a lot of space.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bluetooth SIG has announced that Google will include the native support for Bluetooth Smart and Smart Ready in the next Android version. Although, the report does not reveal the exact Android version details, however does mention that it will appear in the “coming months.”<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/samsung-galaxy-sIII-bsr.jpg" rel="lightbox[48277]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48278" alt="Samsung Galaxy S3 Bluetooth Smart Ready" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/samsung-galaxy-sIII-bsr.jpg" width="300" height="350" title="Android to get built in Bluetooth Smart Ready support this year" /></a></p>
<p>This is not new for Android as manufacturers have been implementing the support for Bluetooth Smart Ready for years on their own, but native support is certainly a positive for the platform. Android smartphones like Samsung Galaxy S III already support Bluetooth Smart and Smart ready.<span id="more-48277"></span></p>
<p>“Working with the big OS providers to offer native support for Bluetooth Smart Ready has been a major initiative within the Bluetooth SIG – we’re thrilled to welcome Android to the family,” said Suke Jawanda, CMO of the Bluetooth SIG.</p>
<p>“It’s the hardware and software support that enables Bluetooth Smart Ready devices to seamlessly connect with the billions of Bluetooth devices in use today, and the exploding new market of Bluetooth Smart appcessories,” he added.</p>
<p>Developers will be able to use the new Android API to feed data collected from Bluetooth Smart appcessories, like fitness monitors or medical devices, to their apps running on Bluetooth Smart Ready products, like smart phones or tablets. Once released, any new Bluetooth enabled phone or tablet running Android and featuring a dual mode Bluetooth radio chip will be Smart Ready.</p>
<p>What to know more about Bluetooth Smart and Bluetooth Smart Ready, here is a video:</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google is taking Android to the classrooms by making it easy to discover, purchase, and distribute content through Google Play. In the same bid, the search giant has introduced Google Play for Education.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/google-play-for-education-main.png" rel="lightbox[48268]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48271" alt="Google Play for Education" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/google-play-for-education-main.png" width="510" height="350" title="Google introduces Play for Education, aims to take Android to classrooms" /></a></p>
<p>Google has already been trying to get into classrooms with its Apps and Chromebooks and now it want to use the popularity of Android to help it out.</p>
<p>With Google Play for Education, Google is giving educators an opportunity to provide better and connected classrooms, where students will have easier access to course material, apps and other content.<span id="more-48268"></span></p>
<p>“Today we are excited to expand Google’s education offering by combining the ease and portability of Nexus tablets with highly engaging educational content. Through this new program educators will be able to manage tablets and discover, purchase, and distribute content through Google Play for Education&#8211;whether they&#8217;re in charge of one classroom or one thousand,” Google noted in a blog post.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>What’s in it for educators?</h3>
<ul>
<li><b>Android tablets in the classroom:</b> Educators can set up and deploy large numbers of devices in just minutes or hours rather than days.</li>
<li><b>Curriculum-based discovery:</b> Quickly discover apps, books, videos, and other content—with many recommended by teachers and categorized according to familiar Core Curriculum standards.</li>
<li><b>Bulk purchase with institutional payment:</b> Buy apps in bulk using purchase orders and other payment methods that are easy for schools to manage.</li>
<li><b>Over-the-air delivery to student devices:</b> Push content instantly to student devices over the air. Also, send the apps to individuals or groups of any size, across classrooms, schools, or even districts.</li>
</ul>
<h3>What’s in it for developers?</h3>
<ul>
<li><b>Get discovered:</b> If your app offers an exciting new way to learn sixth grade algebra, Google will make it easy for math educators to find, purchase, and distribute your app to their classes.</li>
<li><b>Reach more schools and students:</b> Google has already built a strong network of K-12 schools who are already using Google Apps for Education and other Google services. These schools are excited and looking forward to bringing apps and content into their classrooms with Nexus tablets.</li>
<li><b>Monetize effectively:</b>  Educators will be able to make high-volume purchases using standard institutional payment mechanisms and distribute them to the students they want, this bringing in more money for devs.</li>
</ul>

<p>The phone will go on sale in Europe some time in third quarter of this year. Pricing or availability details for other regions are unknown right now.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We know you missed Nexus 7 successor at yesterday’s Google I/O keynote, we did too, but looks like we have the first possible Nexus 7 II sighting.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/next-nexus-7.jpg" rel="lightbox[48257]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48259" alt="Next Nexus 7" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/next-nexus-7.jpg" width="510" height="410" title="Did Google accidentally reveal next Nexus 7 tablet in this promo?" /></a></p>
<p>A new tablet (possibly Nexus 7 successor) was spotted by one Twitter user <a href="https://twitter.com/cesi_D/status/334919521280335872" target="_blank">Cesi D&#8217;Alessio</a> in the official Hangouts promo video released by Google. If you go to 21 sec mark in the video, you will see a tablet with notification LED. From the looks of it, the tablet seems to be packing a 7-inch display and the current Nexus 7 tablet from Google does not have notification LED, so can this be the next Nexus 7 tablet?<span id="more-48257"></span></p>
<p>May be or maybe not. You can also get a glance of its back later in the video, but not much is shown, which is possible if it is an unannounced device.</p>
<p>What do you guys think?

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung has silently reduced the price of its Wi-Fi only Galaxy Tab 2 311 in the Indian market. The tablet is now available for just INR 8,999 at <a href="http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-p3110/p/itmdhdvpezaut99q?affid=INgaurav" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Flipkart</a>; other e-retailers are also offering the tablet at similar but slightly higher prices.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-311-price-cut.jpg" rel="lightbox[48253]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48254" alt="Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 311" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-311-price-cut.jpg" width="510" height="278" title="Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 311 gets a price cut, now selling for INR 8,999" /></a></p>
<p>To remind you, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 311 was earlier selling for INR 11,900, so it is almost INR 2,000 reduction in the price of this tablet.<span id="more-48253"></span></p>
<p>At the pricing, the tablet is a no-brainer for anyone looking to grab a sub-INR 10K tablet. It features a 7-inch 1024x600p resolution display, 1GHz dual-core processor and Android 4.1.</p>
<p>The tablet also comes with 3-megapixel rear camera, front camera, 16GB of internal storage and 4,000m Ah battery.</p>
<p>There is no word on whether Samsung India wants to issue a price-cut for Tab 2 310 (the 3G version) as well, which is still selling for around INR 15,900 in the country.</p>
<p>To remind you, Samsung also retails Galaxy Note 800 and Galaxy Note 8.0 tablets in the country, which are currently selling for INR 34,500 and INR 30,900 respectively.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Panasonic has revealed that it plans to launch eight more smartphones in the Indian market this year. These smartphones will be priced between INR 6,990 and INR 35,000, company executives announced at the launch of P51, its <a title="Panasonic launches P51 Android phone for INR 26,900" href="http://androidos.in/2013/05/panasonic-launches-p51-android-phone-for-inr-26990/">first Android phone in the country</a>.<a href="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/panasonic-p51-launch.jpg" rel="lightbox[48248]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48249" alt="Panasonic P51 launch" src="http://androidos.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/panasonic-p51-launch.jpg" width="510" height="311" title="Panasonic India to launch 8 smartphones this year, eyes 8pc market share" /></a></p>
<p>The Japanese manufacturer has just re-entered the Indian mobile space, it earlier used to sell feature-phones in the country. With the growing demand of smartphones all over, the company is looking to get back in the game.<span id="more-48248"></span></p>
<p>Panasonic’s India smartphone efforts are particularly interesting in the wake of <a href="http://androidos.in/2012/11/panasonic-pushes-ics-update-to-eluga-as-it-plans-to-exit-european-smartphone-market/">its departure from the European market</a> last year after releasing just two smartphones in the region. Looks like, it really thinks that it can succeed in the country, which is currently dominated by Samsung and the local handset makers.</p>
<p>The company also announced at the P51 launch event that it is eyeing 8 per cent of the Indian smartphone market share in the first year.</p>
<p>“It has always been our endeavor to excel in all aspects of consumer technology. The launch of Panasonic Smartphone in India marks the beginning of our journey in the Indian mobile phone market and will bring together the ultimate smartphone user experience. The smartphone series will come power-packed with features and will cater to the consumers across the spectrum – from mid-tier to the premium class. With an aim to garner a market share of 8% in the first year, this product will showcase the convergence of Panasonic’s pioneering technology and consumer insight,” said Manish Sharma, Managing Director, Panasonic India.</p>
<p>Do you think that it can achieve 8pc market share? We have doubts; let us know about your opinion in the comments section.</p>
