Sony Xperia Z, Already a big hit? Sales figures suggests so.

Its been only a day since the release of Sony Xperia Z and the initial market talk is - The product is a huge hit! Apparently in countries like  Japan, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the initial set of stock that they received from the factory is already sold out. If we think about it Sony was never a hit in the Smartphone industry and keeping that fact in mind the sale figures would be a tremendous boost for the company! 
Lets see how things panes up in the coming days. We need to wait and see! 

Samsung Galaxy S 4 to be released on March 14? Price and Specs

The wait could almost be over! The rumor is that the phone will hit the Indian  market on March 14th, which still is not confirmed. The latest release of one of the most popular smartphone series ever, the Galaxy S, we can pretty much be sure that Galaxy S4 will have a lot in it! A few specs, although rumored are mentioned below.

OS - Andy 4.2.1 (It has to be!)

Display - A 5 inch  SuperAMOLED FULL HD resolution (1080 x 1920 display with a 480ppi pixel density)? This could be awesome!

Screen - A Multitouch with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection and TouchWiz UI

Processor - Quad-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A15 and quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7? May be not

RAM: 2GB

Memory: 16GB internal

Camera:13 MP with LED flash with 2.1 MP front camera? Expecting something better!

The biggest change (rumor of course!)  from its predecessor Samsung Galaxy S III would be the fact that the processor used in the phone is not a Quadcore, but an Exynos 5 Octa processor! We will have to wait and see how the phone pans up at its release. All I can say is, the build looks astonishing, one of the sleakiest designs ever, and Samsung for sure wont let us down! 

So lets wait and see! 

Micromax Canvas HD A116 - When is the next release date?

One of the most anticipated smartphones in India - Micromax Canvas HD, hit the market on the Valentines day (Feb 14, 2013) at 12 Am. I was keeping a close watch on the status of the sales. Kept refreshing the 'Snapdeal.com' page for around 20 minutes, and I couldn't believe my eyes - The product got sold out! Within a mere 20 minutes? I felt it was some big technical flaw with the snapdeal website. Later came to know the product was actually sold out! And why shouldn't it have? 13,999 for a Quad core smartie! What had to happen, happened.


Now comes the funny part. All people who wanted to buy kept waiting and after another 2 to 3 days, the product again came in the snapdeal website - and yet again - SOLD OUT! What next? Again a release - But this time the dispatch time was given to be around 15 to 20 days. A few days later, that also got sold out, and till date all we get to see is "Oops! You are late"! 

I do understand the fact that there was a Chinese new year, and they could be a delay in the re releases, but this late? Its now almost a month and still there is no Canvas HD available. I read somewhere that the product will be back in the market by 2nd week of March, but still there is no official news about the release. And to make matters worse, Micromax is not giving us a tentative date. All we can hope now is the re-release is worth it, and it happens soon now. Waiting, Waiting & Wanting....!
