International reverse phone lookup

The Nokia XL is the best and the brightest of the new X family but, again, its a step up from the Asha lineup rather than something to compete with Nokias Windows Phone offerings or even most Androids.

The Nokia XL officially targets €110 ($150), though its currently on pre-order at €130 ($180). Admittedly, there are few phones in this price segment to have a large 5" screen, especially dual-SIM ones.


The screen has good viewing angles and colors, though sunlight legibility couldve been better. The low resolution is what hurts it the most though - getting a 5" screen suggests youll be reading plenty of text and small type just looks off due to the low pixel density.

For performance well say this - its not KitKat-on-Snapdragon smooth, but you can use it daily without annoying hang-ups or slowdowns. The Nokia XL also enjoys a rich app library, Windows Phone had a tougher start in its early days.


The camera was a half pleasant surprise too, the still camera can be a good 5MP shooter with some tweaking. The video camera doesnt cut it though. That said, its miles ahead of what Asha phones could do (VGA at ~20fps at best, typically QVGA @ 15 fps).




There are a few other things youll need to tweak when you buy the Nokia XL too, including syncing your contacts either manually or via an app. Getting a microSD card is also a must, the 1GB or so left available to the user is just not enough.

We do appreciate the Nokia HERE Drive app though - with a license for offline navigation of most of the world and a large screen with good viewing angels, the XL can easily beat a dedicated SatNav and twice as expensive Androids (dont forget to add the price of an offline navigation app when looking at other phones).

 Huawei seems to like devices with large screens, as well proves the existence of the model Ascend Mate 7. Anyway, it seems that a new phablet of this company would be close to reaching the market with a six-inch screen. We refer to the device called Huawei Ascend GX1.

 The quality of the panel that this new device will offer 720p, so it seems that we are being a terminal intended for mid-range product and, therefore, expects a competitive price (which is common in Huawei, by other side). The fact is that the information comes from the certification China TENAA, so do not speak of mere speculation, but specific data.

 Other details that have known the Huawei Ascend GX1 is that will support LTE networks, so that he can take advantage of 4G tariffs currently on the market. Besides, your processor is a quad-core model that operates at a frequency of 1.4 GHz (bet on a SoC Kirin’s own China Company is doing to “winning horse” but nothing is confirmed here).

 Other features that are heading in the Huawei Ascend GX1 are the main chamber will have 8 megapixels secondary 2Mpx, so it is clear that seeks to offer an economic model. Besides, the version of the operating system which has passed the tests in TENAA entity is Android 4.4.2, which is not exactly the most current but at least it KitKat.

 Anyway, it seems that Huawei is committed to offer a product range as wide as possible, relying on all existing (including that integrates the most powerful models). With this terminal, for example, is to stand up to the device as Xiaomi Redmi Note or Samsung Galaxy Grand. A little accompanying the RAM, it is not known which integrate this model, surely you will get it.

 Do not have a specific date for the Huawei Ascend GX1 is presented, but the latest is expected to do so before the end of January 2015. As for the price, this will be around the $ 255 (about 210 euros).

Huawei Ascend GX1, a new phablet with 6 inch screen

Samsung has made official the new model of its flagship phablet, the Galaxy Note 4 now comes with surname S-LTE and offers several important changes at the hardware level, particularly in processor and 4G connectivity.

 The Korean manufacturer has used what little remains of 2014 to make official a new model of your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 if he was already one of the leading terminals, currently stands as most powerful terminal. Note that this version is finally materializing a rumor that has been around for the entire month of December that was based on information from industry to appear then recorded in the test Geekbench as Samsung SM-N916S

 A new Snapdragon 810 under the hood

 And is that among the novelties that this new device is the renewal Snapdragon 805 processor (2.7 GHz quadcore) – but there is still also a version with the Exynos 5433 Octa – the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. Although we must point out that Samsung does not confirm the presence of this chip in its new terminal, is something that is almost forced to support other features that do are announced by the Asian company, support LTE connectivity -Advanced Tri-Band CA.

 Download speed up to 450 Mbps

 These last two stands for “carrier aggregation” or what is the same, the ability of this technology to combine 2 or more channels LTE into one. As you add more, you can climb speed. And it is necessary that the Snapdragon 810 since lead is the integrated modem that will support this capability is present. Specifically allow downloads of up to 450 Mbps, which is identified as LTE Cat 9 and exceeds the LTE-A current peaks reaching 300 Mbps (although these are laboratory data, you can see as far as the speed of the new 4G + networks Vodafone and Movistar LTE-A in our real test). As indicated by Samsung in its press release, this allows downloading a 700 MB file in just 19 seconds or 10 songs from 40 MB in just a second.

 Although, as indicated, Samsung does not confirm the processor that carries the new Note 4 S-LTE, which moreover repeats other features like 5.7 inch QHD screen, 16 MP camera and front 3.7 MP, memory of 32 GB with microSD slot and even the dimensions of 153.5 mm long by 78.6 mm wide and 8.5 mm thick. The reason we cannot announce that carries a Snapdragon 810 is precisely that Qualcomm has not yet given a specific date for availability of this chip. Samsung already surprised us with the presence of Gorilla Glass 4 in Note 4, which was not announced at launch so it would not be surprising that the same thing happen again with this device.

 The new model, as usual, will first sale in South Korea in January and, we assume, that will be offered later in the countries where they develop LTE Cat 9 services, moreover will be shown at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2015.
