Looking same like a sports watch Samsung has introduced a Gear which makes life easier and helps connecting people with lots of ease. This device has opened a new chapter, a new direction and an existing world of possibilities. It is a engineering marvel and something that redefines tomorrow.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear comes in six colors including vivid yellow and orange versions. With an aluminum face and a rubber wrist strap which is adjustable, it feels really comfortable much more premium. The Samsung Galaxy Gear has 1.63” super Amoled display with the resolution of 320 X 320 pixel. It has 800 MHz single core processor with 512 MB RAM, 4 GB of internal storage and 315 MaH battery. The strap has very delicately placed 1.9 MP camera and speakers is placed on the clasp used to lock the gear in the wrist. On the left side of the watch (gear) there is button which is the home button / S-voice activator (this option is changeable) and followed below the home button there is a microphone. Every part of the gear has been beautifully engineered. The Galaxy gear is provided with a charging dock which has a micro USB charging port. The gear is connected using the latest Bluetooth technology 4.0. The gear is constructed with gyroscope and accelerometer so that the gear can respond to the gestures and moments of the user.
With the intelligent camera placement in the gear it has made a whole lot easier for the user to capture moments and that just in a swipe touch. The placement of the speaker and microphone is positioned so arithmetically that it is the same as picking a virtual phone into our ear. Samsung Gear takes around 90 min to fully charge and has the lifespan of 25 hours which is a kind of disappointing. The Bluetooth range is good, the user got around 150 meters before the Gear buzzes like an electronic tag to notify us that the Gear has gone too far from the phone.
Here’s the Video review of the Samsung Galaxy gear :
The Samsung Gear is totally controlled by the Samsung gear manager which is installed in the Samsung Galaxy Note III. At the time of writing this review, the Samsung Galaxy Gear is only compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 but Samsung has promised to add the Samsung Galaxy S4 , Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung Galaxy Note II (via software update) by the end of October.

Chinese Smartphones are gathering a lot of attention in Nepalese Market mainly because it offers trifling price with worthy specification. Every users can’t afford to splash the cash on high end smartphones like the magnificent Samsung Note3 or stylish the HTC one or the undisputed Xperia Z1.
The Colors K2 is the company’s latest flagship phone. The phone got our attention from the Gionee Elife E6, a Chinese company penetrating Indian market recently . Colors claim that Gionee are their vendors for phones.
With a Full HD screen, Quad core processor, 2 GB RAM& a 13MP camera, Is Colors K2 the best Android smartphone in its price range(Rs.23500)? We find out in our detailed review.
Don’t forget to checkout the video review below:
Colors K2 Review
Design
The Colors K2 Pearl Black has a premium unibody design with a polycarbonate build. We were really surprised with its glossy unibody form factor and slim design, not usually seen in mid-range smartphones.
However, there is no access to open the back panel, therefore no access to the battery, which might be disappointing for users who want to use an extra battery in case they need one.
Display
The Colors K2 Pearl Black features a 5-inch full HD screen with a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels. It has a IPS screen based on One Glass Solution (OGS) technology with a Gorilla Glass 3 layer for protection. The screen looks bright and lively, looking exceptionally good and sharp as well. However, color saturation will look to be faded. Viewing angles looks good. Overall the screen is brilliant.
User Interface
The Colors K2 Pearl Black runs a slightly tweaked version of Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. Some of us may like Stock android experience, but Colors preferred to add their own customized UI on the top of Android.
There is no Official news for Kitkat 4.4, the latest version of Android. That’s a worrying factor for many customers because they want to live with a dream of using the latest software as soon as possible. Hopefully, Colors will come with the official news on Kitkat 4.4
Hardware
The colors K2 Pearl Black is powered by a 1.5GHz Mediatek MT6589T quad-core processor and a PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU. It has 2GB RAM with a 32GB of internal storage (23GB user available). There is no microSD card slot, which is in fact a big disappointment for users who want to store Movies and pictures in large magnitude. The device is powered with 2000mah Battery, which might not be enough considering the fact that it runs a 5 inch Display.
Camera
The colors K2 Pearl Black has a 13-megapixel auto-focus camera with a second generation BSI sensor for low-light imaging. The phone comes with a modified Camera app and allows you to capture photos in HDR and Panorama modes as well.
The camera of the colors K2 Pearl Black takes good photos in day light. But the low light imaging was pretty average. Moreover, with shaky hands it captures Blurry images sometimes.
The 5-megapixel front camera also takes decent shots and is great for video calls.
The colors K2 Pearl Black have an above-average gaming performance. It can run mid-end games like Temple Run 2 , Subway Surfers, etc. with ease but you might notice slight lag and dropped frame rates while playing high end games like Mortal Combat 4, Dead Trigger 2,etc. But considering the price tag you have to forgive this kid.
Hey folks what’s up! As we all know that the year of the “doomsday” 2013 is finally coming to an end in a matter of few days. With Christmas gone, all the jollity and excitement of the year is coming to an end in few days. But though it was not a year that the world ended, I think this year remarks the doomsday of the smartphones as they got bigger, just got bigger! Call me crazy but I am not so satisfied with the smartphones that came out this year. Frankly speaking tell me one new innovation: revolutionary and evolutionary thing that happened this year with the smartphones! Scratching you head right, i was too! YES! YES! YES! We have a 6-inch display device, we have cool tablets and of course we don’t need Password to open our phones! But hey, is that too groundbreaking? Not for me! I was expecting things, some serious things by the manufacturers this year but i got disappointed!
You’re right i don’t call the “Blow to Unlock” or some gesturing features in the smartphones revolutionary. With all due respect to the manufacturers and technical people who put much effort to putting these features all together in a smartphone to make them even better or you may say User-friendly, I’d say that none of this is so “ground-breaking”. I don’t see the point how the feature of “pausing a video when you look away” is ground-breaking. I talk and see my friends’ faces while showing them a super-cool video, Oh wait! It just got paused!! BOOOOO!
So, what do you want Bishwash, you might ask? I want things to be innovative. Things that would change the way you interact with smartphones. Change the way smartphones are or were. Change the way that smartphones interact with us. Maybe throw some flexibility, transparency or even some wearables. Except Google glass nothing was so extraordinary in the gadgets world this year. And I’d like to take this moment and appreciate Google Glass because I don’t know if it will be useful but it’s certainly exciting and innovative to use something like glass in a different way. That’s what I want to see.
Hopefully my wishes will come true on 2014 or maybe I should have wished before Christmas (haha)! But hey, I was wishing all this year for something that would break my heart and I’d say, “Man, that’s something!”
It should happen because I’m practically bored with smartphones just getting bigger and having minor upgrades in their hardware.
One of the most used android apps for Nepali users has changed their Layout. It now looks crispy and absolutely eccentric. The overall interface is easy and eye-pleasing.
The widget now is more informative and deserves applaud.
Moreover, if you are not aware of which group you are in, there is a map view that guides you about the detail. Very intuitive in that case!!
Subway Surfers, which is one of the most popular Android and IOS game finally arrives for Windows 8 phones. But, Like Temple Run 2 it requires a 1 GB of RAM to run. Although a 512 MB support will be available soon. This is a relief for Lumia 520,620,720 and 625 users.
As per my experience on Lumia 920, it runs absolutely smooth and with no lags.Here’s the small trailer presented by Kiloo Games and Sybo Games.
You can download this game here. Enjoy Windows Users 🙂
Angry?? Or Pleased?? Yes its Jelly Bean 4.3 not Kitkat 4.4 Update for Xperia Z1 and Z ultra. Android 4.3 though offers several improvements and tweaks for these smartphones. Along with an improved interface, the Android 4.3 update adds Sony’s Smart Social Camera to the Xperia Z Ultra. Users will also find improvements to Sony’s native apps, including Messaging, MyXperia, Smart Connect, TrackID, and Sony Select.
Sony also promises better integration between its Walkman, Album, and Movies apps and its cloud-based Entertainment Network. And users will be able to customize their interface via downloadable “Xperia Themes.”
Earlier this month, Sony confirmed that many of its handsets will be getting an Android 4.4 KitKat update. The Lucky handsets were the Xperia T, Xperia TX, Xperia V, Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP, Xperia Z Ultra and the Xperia Z1.
Call me crazy but I am not so satisfied with the smartphones that came out this year.
