Nokia just announced its most affordable Windows Phone 8 smartphone to date – the Lumia 620.

Surprise, surprise! Nokia just announced its most affordable Windows Phone 8 smartphone to date – the Lumia 620. We are dealing with a compact device tailored for the needs of the younger crowd. And what better way to attract youngsters than to treat a phone to a flashy paint job?

At the ongoing Le Web Conference in Paris, Finnish giant Nokia has announced a launch of the Nokia Lumia 620 smartphones.


That's exactly what the Nokia Lumia 620 has to differentiate itself with. Its maker has applied what it calls a "dual-shot" color technique, which means that a layer of translucent or transparent polycarbonate is laid over the bottom color coat. This produces secondary color blends and adds texture effects to the smartphone's shell. 

With Windows Phone 8, Nokia Lumia 620 users will get a whole bunch of neat features, courtesy of Nokia. There's Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive, Nokia Transport, and Nokia City Lens. Furthermore, the Cinemagraph lens can be used to add simple animations to photos, while the Smart Shoot feature can combine several pictures into one perfect shot. 

The Nokia Lumia 620 is scheduled to arrive in January of 2013 and will cost roughly $250. Markets across Asia will be the first to get it, followed by Europe and the Middle East. It will be available in lime green, orange, magenta, yellow, cyan, white and black.

The Lumia 620 arrives with a 5 MP camera with LED Flash on the rear and the VGA front facing shooter.

The Nokia Lumia 620 packs in:

►3.8-inch TFT LCD ClearBlack Display
►Display resolution of 800 x 480 pixels
►1 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 prcoessor
►512 MB RAM
►8 GB internal memory
►Expandable to 64 GB
►Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi, NFC
►1300 mAh battery

Rumor: Samsung working on a cheaper Galaxy Note II, 13-inch tablet with keyboard dock, and the mysterious Project J

Rumor has it that a cheaper alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Note II is already in the 

works and will be released on the European market. It might not carry the Note branding, 

however, as it will not come with an S Pen, according to the source. It is also speculated 

that an LCD screen will be used instead of an AMOLED panel. The idea behind this 

rumored handset is to let a broader range of consumers have a taste of what having a 

smartphone with a huge screen feels like. How much the cheaper Note II alternative will 

cost, however, is not being mentioned.

Next up we have a rumor about a 13.3-inch tablet by Samsung that will mimic the concept 

behind the Asus Transformer series. In other words, the slate will be accompanied by a 

physical keyboard dock. The dock could also be sold separately, as an optional accessory. Our 

guess is that this mysterious 13.3-inch tablet will run Android.

Last but not least, it is rumored that the Samsung Galaxy S IV will be announced in April. The 

smartphone has the "Project J" name attached to it, yet what that indicates is unclear at this 

time.

Facebook To Buy Whatsapp?

TechCrunch is reporting that Facebook is looking to acquire WhatsApp, according to sources close to the matter.

Whatsapp, the multiplatform mobile messaging app has been one of the runaway success stories for ad-free, paid services.

Founded in 2009, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company provides a smartphone app for Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Symbian, and Windows Phone that delivers text messages as well as images and audio and video messages. The ad-free Whatsapp reportedly has about 100 million daily users, with a presence in 250 countries on a variety of platforms.

Whastapp announced in October 2011 that it was serving up 1 billion messages per day: “Just how much is 1 billion messages? That is 41,666,667 messages an hour, 694,444 messages a minute, and 11,574 messages a second,” the company wrote in a blog post at the time. The company added that it was a “small step closer towards our goal: providing a great mobile messaging system for a global market, regardless of your handset.”

Facebook Rolls Out ‘Photo Sync’; Automatically Upload 2GB of Photos

Facebook is jumping on the cloud storage bandwagon with Photo Sync, a feature that does precisely what the name says – it uploads the pictures you take on your Android or iPhone device to Facebook servers and puts them into a private album marked Synced from Phone.

From there, you will be able to share the pics that you like with your friends, or delete the ones that you’d prefer to remain private. But because people err, we do expect a fair number of embarrassing incidents to occur once this new feature rolls out on wide scale.

Facebook will graciously provide you with 2GB of storage space for your photos. Considering that the photos will be resized to about 100KB to save on bandwidth and disk space, you’ll be able to put up to 20,000 images in your private Facebook album.

If you are worried about data consumption, Facebook took care to put a Sync from WiFi only feature; we just hope that this feature will be checked on by default. The social network giant first announced the feature in August, with a small (for Facebook’s scale) pilot, and now, it’s ready to roll it out to all its mobile apps users.

With Photo Sync, Facebook brings its mobile applications to date, seeing that Google Plus had this feature from day one, and other cloud services, such as Dropbox or Box, have been offering similar services for months.

Is this the wireless charging pad for the LG Nexus 4?

And for a few weeks now, word on the street has been claiming that charging the smartphone wirelessly will indeed be an option.

Samsung Nexus 10 tablet's user manual pops up online, suggests how it could look

Today a couple of images have popped up, allegedly of the User Manual of the Nexus 10 tablet which shows us how the tablet could look on arrival.
 

The design of the tablet is quite different from the Nexus 7, the sides of the device in landscape orientation appear to have a slight curve. The placement of the volume rockers and other components line up with that of the Galaxy Note 10.1.

The manual also suggests that there will be a rear facing camera with flash and a front facing camera too. We can see the usual ports on all sides of the Nexus 10 and there is one interesting LED at the front-bottom of the Nexus 10 which we do not know the use of, yet.
