Taiwanese manufacturer Asus is all set to enter the smartphone segment with its ZenFone range next month.

The company will introduce on July 9 a number of smartphones, phonetabs and tablets in the country, including ZenFone models unveiled at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) as well as Computex. This will mean Asus will have a device at every size ranging between 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 and 6 inches, and above.

The biggest model in Asus's smartphone series is ZenFone 6, which sports a 6-inch HD screen. Unveiled at CES 2014, this phablet is powered by Android 4.4 (KitKat) mobile operating system and has a 2GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2580 chipset under the hood.

ZenFone 6 comes in 8, 16 and 32GB storage options and supports external storage up to 64GB via microSD cards. Depending on the storage, the model comes with 1 or 2GB RAM. This phablet has a 13MP camera with LED flash on the back and a 2MP camera in front.

Unveiled at CES in January 2014, Asus ZenFone 5 has a 5-inch screen with 720p resolution and runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat). It will come with 8 and 16GB internal storage (and microSD support up to 64GB) along with 1 and 2GB RAM respectively.

ZenFone 5 also comes in two processor options: 2GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2580 or 1.6GHz dual-core Atom Z2560. On the back, it has an 8MP camera with LED flash, while a 2MP camera is placed in front.

The ZenFone 5 model showcased at Computex earlier in June packs a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 processor instead of the Intel chipset. It has 2GB RAM and comes with 16 and 32GB storage options. The remaining features remain the same as that of its predecessor.

The first-generation ZenFone 4, unveiled at CES, has a 4-inch display featuring 800x480p resolution. This model runs on Android KitKat as well and is powered by the Intel chipset dual-core 1.2GHz Atom Z2520 processor. This model features 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage and supports 64GB microSD support. It also has an 8MP camera with LED flash, but sports a VGA front camera.

At Computex 2014, ZenFone 4 got a minor upgrade, featuring a relatively bigger screen (4.5-inch screen with 854x480p resolution). The remaining features and specifications remain the same.

While the CES models have already hit the China market, India will be among the handful of markets to get the ZenFone products unveiled at Computex.

It is expected that these models will be positioned in the sub-Rs 25,000 segment and aimed primarily at budget to mid-range buyers.

Mozilla, the developer of the Firefox web browser, has tied up with handset makers Intex and Spice to bring smartphones priced at  ₹1,500 ($25) to India in the next few months, a move that may redefine the “ultra-affordable” mobile phone market in the country.

Mozilla showcased a smartphone prototype at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, targeting developing countries including India and China. The Firefox operating system devices will compete with phones using Google’s Android and Microsoft’s Windows platforms.

“Mozilla is dedicated to putting the power of the web in people’s hands, and Firefox OS frees consumers, developers, mobile providers and manufacturers from the limitations and restrictions of proprietary platforms,” Mozilla Chief Operating Officer Li Gong said in a statement.

With more accessible Firefox OS phones coming to India soon and the addition of Intex and Spice to the team of global partners, it is clear that momentum for Firefox OS is continuing to accelerate, he added.

“The platform will give us an edge in upgrading buyers from feature phones to smartphones while making it affordable for the mass market. This will propel our devices to be much more than a way to use the web, but take the engagement further and develop the web as a mobile platform,” Intex Technologies Business Head (Mobile) Sanjay Kumar Kalirona said.

The association will enable it to develop “unparallelled smart devices” on the latest Firefox OS platform, he added.

Dilip Modi, co-founder and CEO of Spice, said the firm has high expectations from this partnership. “These phones will be affordably priced to ensure everyone can enjoy and experience the power of the Firefox OS phone,” Modi added.

Smartphone sales in the country grew almost three-fold to over 44 million in 2013, buoyed by affordable devices made by local firms such as Micromax and Karbonn, according to research firm IDC.

In the first quarter of 2014, 17.59 million smartphones were shipped in India compared with 6.14 million in the same period of 2013.

While Samsung is the category leader with a 35 per cent market share, Micromax had 15 per cent, Karbonn 10 per cent, LAVA 6 per cent and Nokia 4 per cent in Q1, IDC said.

Low-cost handsets prices less than Rs 5,000 and smartphones not costing more than Rs 7,000 from Asian handset makers including Huawei, ZTE, Micromax and Karbonn have been driving growth in the emerging markets of Asia and Africa.

Android, Apple,Microsoft


Microsoft Corp is cooler than you might think.

A Reutes/Ipsos poll found that just under half of 853 responds between age of 18 and 29 thought Microsoft is now cooler  than it was a year or two ago.
  
The software maker, often derided in Silicon Valley for failing to dream up products that captivate a new generation of social media and mobile savvy consumers ,managed to pip Facebook Inc .In the survey only 42 percent of young adults thought the world's largest network is cooler now than in the past.Twitter scored 47 percent,below Microsoft 's 50 percent.

Part of Microsoft's lift appears to stem from a well-coordinated bitz around it all-new Surface tablets, which have revamped the familiar Windows interface with tile-based,mobile app-friendly look and feel. Its Xbox gaming console and "Kinect" Accessories ,which has in past year also burnished its image around younger consumers.

Apple Inc ,despite falling of favour with many Wall Street investors ,still scored well in the Reuters/Ipsos poll,the first in series that aims to measure brand perception and usage over time for major consumer tech brands.

Microsoft dominates the personal computing area and is still far larger than most other tech corporation on the planet.The survey "definietly shows that Microsoft's efforts are paying off" said Gartner analyst Michael Gartenberg.



Digital data generated by india last year, which if stored in Apple's iPhone 5 with 32GB space , will equal over 5,100 stacks of the device, as tall as Mount Everest, a study by EMC-IDC said Wednesday.

One EB has 18 zeroez after 1 and ZB has 21 zereos . However , less than half  apercent of all digital information is analysed today while 36 percent would provide valuable insights ,it said.
