Android 6.0 Marshmallow Update for Xiaomi Mi 3, Mi 4, Mi Note in 'Final Testing Stage'

Various smartphone manufacturers have begun rolling out Android 6.0 Marshmallow updates to their devices in past few weeks, while many others have revealed the update roadmap for their devices. Xiaomi has now revealed Android 6.0 Marshmallow will reach its Mi 3, Mi 4, and Mi Note soon, with a new version of MIUI 7.

As per Xiaomi's MIUI operations manager, the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update is said to be in its final testing stages and will start rolling out soon, reports Gizmochina. This will also be a welcome change for those who were disappointed when Xiaomi released its MIUI 7 ROM based on Android 5.1 Lollipop. A user on Weibo has also posted a screenshot showing MIUI 5.12.24 update based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The images shows the update to weigh 518MB.

Earlier this month the same company manager confirmed that its Mi 4 flagship smartphone along with Mi Note would be the first smartphones in its lineup to receive the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow update.
To recall, Xiaomi's Mi 4 was launched back in 2014 running Android 4.4 KitKat initially while the Mi Note was unveiled this year and also came running Android 4.4 KitKat version. Notably, the company released Android Lollipop based MIUI 7 ROMs for its handsets in October this year.
For those unaware, the MIUI 7 comes with a number of features such as four built-in themes, a daily lock screen that changes its wallpaper everyday, and a ne

w mode that gives a user the option to lock down apps they don't want their kids to access. As for improvements, the company claims that MIUI 7 offers up to 30 percent better response time than MIUI 6. Users should also find it light on battery as some tweaks on how the operating system handles the background apps have been introduced.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow Rollout Begins Next Week for Nexus, Android One Devices

 Google at its Nexus event on Tuesday announced the rollout of Android 6.0 Marshmallow update will begin from next week over-the-air (OTA). The OS update would be hitting the Nexus smartphones, tablets, and other Nexus devices first. This time, the Android One devices are also on the list of first devices to receive the update. The company also gave some statistics on the global Android usage.

Dave Burke, Vice President of Engineering, Android, on Tuesday stated that Android 6.0 Marshmallow update would be spanning across Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 9, Nexus Player, and Android One devices. This means there would not be any more updates for the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 (2012) and the Samsung Nexus 10. The search giant would also be pushing the Android 6.0 Marshmallow source code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). While the start of the rollout is much closer to the new Nexus device launch this year, the OTA update could take weeks or even months to reach all Nexus devices worldwide.


Google introduced its Android 6.0 Marshmallow back in May during the Google I/O conference. Some of the new features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which has been available as the Android M developer preview since Google I/O 2015, include revamped app permissions; Google Now on Tap feature; new Chrome feature that will change the Web experience for Android users; new ways to handle Web links; integrated Android Pay mobile payment system; new fingerprint APIs for developers to add into their apps and native fingerprint support, apart from battery saver features called Doze that will make Android devices smart about managing power. Some of the other additions include a new memory manager, adoptable storage devices, new app drawer, auto backup and restore for apps, and support for USB Type-C ports.

Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google also announced that the company's mobile platform now tops at 1.4 billion monthly active users. This is a huge bump of 400 million since Google announced it had hit 1 billion monthly active users back in June last year. He added that Android usage has multiplied by around two times in certain markets.

"We've added 400 million active devices and the momentum is happening around the world - especially in emerging economies. In many, many places. In countries like Indonesia and Vietnam Android has literally doubled in the last year. And what's exciting about this is in most of these cases these are people who are adopting a smartphone for the first time," he said. Also announced was that Google Play now has over 1 billion active users and that more than 20 million Chromecast dongles have been sold until now. The company also said that 10,000 companies were either using or testing the Android for Work platform, and 30,000 new Chromebooks were being shipped everyday.

Well though wasn't much talk at the event about the Android One project but still we hope that Google will keep up its promise(although it didn't in case of Lollipop), and get the phones updates to the 6.0

Google and Qualcomm squeezed Project Tango tech into a smartphone

It seems like a decent of chunk of Google's big news today deals with its partnerships. The search giant is already teaming up with Levi's to explore the realm of smart Jacquard clothes, and now Google has confirmed that it's been working with Qualcomm to build its Project Tango world-sensing cameras into the chipmaker's reference phone designs. Those Tango-phones will be seeded developers and devices makers for now, and thanks to the arcane decisions that ultimately define a company's device-making strategy, we might not ever actually see a consumer-ready Tango phone. Still, Google's long-term ambitions are pretty clear: It'd like to get these Tango devices into our pockets en masse, and a closer relationship with one of the world's biggest mobile chipmakers is a great way to do it.

Before we go any further, yes, there are already Tango phones out there. Thing is, there seemed only to be a very small number of them, and they were earmarked specifically for developers who proved they had something cool to use them for. Now that Tango tech is winding up in a reference design -- a sort of pre-production working mockup of a phone -- the leap toward a Tango-ready consumer phone is almost trivial. That future is probably still aways off, though, so for now the company's settling for getting software creators more comfortable with Project Tango's quirks. Google announced yesterday that developers could buy Project Tango development kits for $512 starting next week, but there's one rub: Not everyone wants to carry around a 7-inch tablet with a trio of crazy cameras on its back. By squeezing down the size of those cameras and optimizing them to play nice with Qualcomm's crazy-popular Snapdragon chipsets, Google and Qualcomm have made Tango way more convenient for developers to play with (eventually) and opened up another route to bring Tango to the teeming masses.

Yes, another route. Last year, Google announced at another ATAP panel that it was working with LG to bring Tango to tech to consumers in early 2015 -- a launch window that's pretty clearly come and gone. A Tango smartphone in the works at the timereportedly got killed too, the thing is, we're in a pretty different place now. We now live in an age where your smartphone can double as a surprisingly decent VR headset thanks to a foldable hunk of cardboard and some lenses. Is it really such a stretch to think Google might want to build a way for us to capture content that can relatively easily be converted to VR with the very same devices? Not at all. The only question is when that intersection comes to pass, and with any luck, the answer is "very soon".

Microsoft Will Make Core Office Functions Free on All Mobile Devices

A few days ago, it was reported how Microsoft has partnered with Samsung to bring certain Microsoft applications to some new Samsung devices. Well, it seems that the folks over at Redmond are not done with what has been a host of announcements for the Android platform as of late. Today in a blog (source link below) Microsoft announced that it will be opening up core features for the viewing and editing of documents in Microsoft Office for free to any device that has a screen size smaller than 10.1 inches. This is already available for smartphones for Android and iOS, and seems to show Microsofts willingness to open itself to markets that it has seen very little penetration.

Microsoft Office has been a huge money maker for Microsoft over the years. It is the company’s bread and butter along with its Windows operating system. Microsoft’s willingness to operate with companies such as Samsung to provide core functionality and security for its applications shows that Microsoft is becoming more active and aggressive in the mobile space, even going so far as to work and integrate products with longtime rivals.

 Read More : Windows 10 will be free to upgrade for non-genuine versions

Microsoft has made clear its vision on how Microsoft will offer its products moving forward. According to Kirk Koenigsbauer, Corporate Vice President, Office 365 Client Applications and author of the blog had this to say about Microsoft’s vision “…we plan to keep up with that one constant—change. Now that Office is available for Windows, Android and iOS, we are investing in strategic partnerships with device makers. Availability across platforms has become an expectation for the one-in-seven people that use Office every day—and we deliver that by ensuring Office is immediately available on any device.”

This is a huge turnaround from how Microsoft has acted in the past when it came to working and operating on other platforms outside of the Windows OS. With the upcoming release of its new operating system and mobile platform, it would seem Microsoft is trying to make some of its core products work across multiple platforms in an effort to appeal to as many people as possible and potentially bring in some additional revenue by attempting to compel users to purchase premium subscriptions that will yield more services. With more and more enterprise and professional users craving better and more useful productivity software, Microsoft seems to be willing to step up to the plate and make things happen regardless of the device you are on. It is certainly a change of pace; how long this philosophy will continue, or how well it will work remains to be seen.

The new Android One phones run the latest Android 4.4 KitKat and will receive the Android L release, which brings Google’s new material design, improved battery life, security features, and smarter notifications. In terms of hardware, the phones feature front- and rear-facing cameras, 1G of memory, quad-core MediaTek processor, long battery life as well as features particularly important to Indians, including dual SIM slots, a FM radio tuner, and a microSD card slot for additional storage.

Airtel is offering a promotion to reduce data costs for those who buy Android One phones.  With an Airtel SIM card, Android One users will get free over-the-air (OTA) updates, and 200MB per month worth of app downloads from Google Play for the first six months. 

Google also announced that in coming weeks much of YouTube will be available offline in India, meaning that people can store videos in the YouTube app when they are on WiFi and watch them later.

Sundar Pichai, Google Senior Vice President of Android, Chrome & Apps, said, “If we look at how people are getting online and accessing information today, increasingly it’s through a smartphone. While 1.75 billion people around the world already have a smartphone, the vast majority of the world’s population—over five billion more—do not. By working closely with phone and silicon chip makers to share reference designs and select components, we’re making it easier for our partners to build phones that are not just great to use, but also affordable. With Android One, we not only want to help people get online, we want to make sure that when they get there, they can tap into the wealth of information and knowledge the web holds for everyone.”

At today’s Google press conference, Pichai also announced an expanded set of hardware partners for the Android One initiative, including Acer, Alcatel Onetouch, ASUS, HTC, Intex, Lava, Lenovo, Panasonic, and Xolo, as well as chipmaker Qualcomm. Google also unveiled that Android One phones will launch in Indonesia, the Philippines, and additional countries in South Asia by the end of the year

Advantages of buying an Android One device

  Google announced three Android One devices today and here's what you need to know in terms of the advantages that are connected with buying an Android One device.

         At the Google I/O this year, the creator of Android had made an announcement that was especially interesting for Indians. It was the Android One, Google’s attempt to revolutionize the budget smartphone segment. Well, that attempt materialized today and as the company had said, Micromax, Spice and Karbonn were the first three manufacturers to come out with smartphones. The first three smartphones are,

- Micromax Canvas A1
- Karbonn Sparkle V5
- Spice Dream Uno

 Spice Dream Uno (Left) and Karbonn Sparkle V5 (Right).

What is Android One?

Android One is a program from Google, where it gives manufacturers a set of device specifications to choose from. It is a means for manufacturers to provide a much better Android experience in inexpensive and easily affordable smartphones. Basically, you get a devices that is in a way certified by Google as the best Android can offer in the given price range.

            Caesar Sengupta, Vice President, Product Management, speaking at the Android One launch in Delhi.

What are the advantages?

- Better performance: The UI on these smartphones is very fluid, but more importantly, your things like navigation on Google Maps run more smoothly on Android One smartphones. Also, the first devices on Android One run on a ‘stock’ experience, which isn’t new, but the OS runs as smoothly as a Moto E. So, if manufacturers can come up with cheaper devices, it would mean Moto E level performance on a cheaper smartphone.
- Customizations for India: According to Google, the Google Translate feature has been updated for better Hindi translation. Also, Google Now understands the Indian accent better. The company said there will be other customizations for India as well.
- Updates: In Sunder Pichai’s own words, the Android One devices will be amongst the first to get the Android L updates. That’s not something you hear everyday for a phone that costs Rs. 6,399.
- Camera: In sub-10k smartphones, the camera has till now gone up to 8 MP. With Android One, Google has room for 5 MP, 8 MP and 13 MP shooters. While the prices will vary, it could mean that you can get a pretty amazing camera for a relatively low priced device.
- Build and Design: With Google providing the software and the ‘best specs’ list, manufacturers can concentrate on things like design and build. According to Cesar Sengupta, VP, Product Management, manufacturers will be coming up with different designs for Android One smartphones in future.
- Brand: For the brand conscious, Google has announced with three brands right now, but nine more are joining the fray soon. This includes names like Asus, HTC, Acer, Xolo, Panasonic, Lava, Intex, Alcatel and Lenovo. It would mean that each brand has an affordable Google certified device for you to buy.

      These vehicles will go around various cities, allowing people to get a hands on with the Android One devices.

What this means?

Android One is advantageous for the first time Android users and it is evident that both Google and its partners are looking to reach out to the 'next billion' users, who are all going to come from the tier II and tier III cities. If you've been following the Android smartphone market, you will be hard pressed to find a reason to choose an Android One smartphone over a Moto E (unless you the Rs. 600 difference makes a big difference to you). The reach for these smartphones is much higher, because they are inexpensive not without the advertising campaigns, but rather, despite them. Google is making efforts to take them to consumers and make them aware about them.

Micromax Canvas Gold A300 with octa-core CPU specs, pictures leak

The Canvas Entice A105 apparently isn't the only new Micromax device we'll see this month. The Indian company has scheduled a press conference for June 16, and during that it may officially introduce the Canvas Gold A300.
This smartphone will reportedly come with some pretty interesting specs. And the 'Gold' in the name isn't there by accident, as the color options for it will be called White Gold and Black Gold. They can be seen below.


The Micromax Canvas Gold A300 is rumored to sport a 6.9 mm thin metal body, as well as a 5.5-inch 1080p touchscreen.
Keeping things running will be a 2 GHz octa-core CPU, along with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage space. The exact chipset isn't mentioned, but given the processor details, it's probably going to be the MediaTek MT6592.
A 16 MP camera will be on the back of the phone, and the 8 MP front-facing unit will surely make selfie lovers happy. The A300 is said to run Android 4.4 KitKat from day one.
This handset may be joined at the Micromax event on Monday by the company's first device to run Windows Phone 8.1. It got detailed last month, and it's rumored to come with a 5-inch 1080p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, 2GB of RAM, and a 13 MP rear camera.

Micromax Unite 2 A106 launched, aims to compete with Moto E | Find best price , review and now also free recharge when you shop through our website only at www.reviewrulezz.tk |

Micromax Unite 2 A106 launched, aims to compete with Moto E

The Unite 2 A106 is expected to go head to head with Motorola's newly launched Moto E.

Soon after the Motorola launched the sub-7k smartphone Moto E, Indian smartphone brand Micromax has announced the launch of a new Android smartphone in the same price range and with similar specifications – Unite 2 A106. Micromax claims its Unite 2 is the first smartphone to support 21 languages including English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu and others.

Priced at Rs. 6,999, the Micromax Unite 2 A106 is a dual-SIM smartphone, sporting a 4.7-inch IPS display with 800 x 480 pixels resolution. It runs Android KitKat 4.4.2 (supports upgrades via FOTA) and is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor along with 1GB of RAM.

The Unite 2 A106 has a 5MP rear camera with flash and a 2MP front facing camera – a feature missing in the Moto E. The smartphone has 4GB of ROM and supports expandable storage up to 32GB. For connectivity, the Unite 2 supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS. It is powered by a 2,000 mAh battery.

The Micromax Unite 2 comes preloaded with a slew of apps including Mad, Getit, Kingsoft Office, Opera Mini Browser and Hike. There are a few pre-loaded games like Marble, Burn the Rope, Toystory Smash.

“India is a diverse country and language at times can act as a barrier for people to seamlessly communicate on their phones. Therefore, we firmly believe that support for local languages on phones will perhaps be the next big driver for day to day phone transactions, internet usage and online content consumption in India given that most of the population does not use English as their primary language.” He further added, “With the launch of the Micromax Unite 2, our aim is to enable local customization to serve the unique needs of Indian consumers across multiple markets. We aim to create a powerful medium for our consumers to interact, engage, entertain and connect in their preferred language to remove any barrier for technology adoption for the masses in the country,” says Shubhodip Pal, CMO, Micromax.

Take a look at the specs of the Unite 2 A106 in the image below:

Do you think the Micromax Unite 2 A106 can give a good competition to the Moto E? Do you see competition in the sub-10k smartphone segment further intensifying? Let us know your views in the comments section below:

Leaked specification of moto e . leaked specs of moto e

Alleged specs of the yet to be announced Motorola Moto E leaked out. When launched, the smartphone will slot below the Moto G in the manufacturer’s product range. Leaked specs of the Moto E include a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, and 4GB of built-in memory. The latter will likely be further expandable, as 4GB will not get you anywhere in terms of available storage these days. The display of the Moto E is a 4.3" unit with unknown resolution (we would bet on a sub-720p screen).
