Google officially unveiled the next Nexuses , the Nexus 6 , the Nexus 9 and also a brand new Nexus Player.The rumors are finally over and mostly true ,yess!!the Nexus 9 is made by HTC and Nexus 6 is made by Motorola. With that Google also revealed the official name of the next Android , calling it the Lollipop and will be available to all the Nexuses first shortly. Lollipop will feature the the fast charging , multiple account support as well as bluetooth lock which was not there in the developer preview.
Nexus 9
The Nexus 9 is the next in the tablet which was not updated for quite some time.Nexus 9 is made by HTC and will replace the Nexus 7 as well as the Nexus 10.Nexus 9 has a 8.9 inch screen which is between both the Nexus and will try to replace both of them.Nexus 9 has a 64 bit Nvidia Tegra K1 which is the same as Nvidia Shield.Shield handled very well and we hope the Nexus also does the same.Nexus 9 will feature a 2 GB RAM and storage option of 16 & 32 GB variants.
Nexus 9 will feature an 8 MP main camera with flash and also a 1.6 MP front- camera for video calling.Nexus 9 will be juiced by a 6700 mAh battery and will get the HTC touch by the dual front facing speakers with Boomsound.
We hope that with the Nexus 9 64 bit processor handles well with the Android Lollipop as it has been optimized for 64 bit processors and should perform really well. Nexus 9 will get Lollipop out of box.The device looks great with the HTC design. Competing with the iPad and Surface , this looks to be serious competition.
Nexus 6
The Nexus 6 is basically a Moto X blown up , and Nexus 6 is close to the LEAKand rumors that was out. Nexus 6 really blows the hardware specifications , it features a 6 inch Quad HD AMOLED display . Nexus 6 has Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 CPU as well as Adreno 420 GPU. Nexus 6 will come with 32 & 64 GB variants .
Nexus 6 will have an 13 MP main camera with OIS (optical image stabilization) and the dual ring flash as the Moto X.The front camera is of 2 MP and will feature HD recording.Nexus 6 will have an 3220 mAh battery and as the same design as Moto X and the front speaker also.
Nexus 6 will surely have a dimple of Motorola on it's back.
Nexus 6 will come with Lollipop out of the box. Surprisingly the Moto X is of the same size of the iPhone 6 ,even having a bigger display. Looking at it the phone it should have a good build quality , but here's the catch the Nexus will be priced at $649 (off contract). Typically not the Nexus price compared to previous versions but the hardware in it is far more advanced . It is in direct competition with the Note 4 as well as iPhone 6 .

It also features the removed camera roll feature and also iCloud photo library (beta).Apple also announced the OS X Yosemite which will be available free and also redesigned iWork for a much friendlier experience.
iPAD AIR 2
Apple had achieved a great milestone with the release of the iPad Air with the thinness and the lightness of the product.The Apple iPad Air 2 has the same height and width but the Air 2 is much more slimmer basically 18% thinner than the iPad Air , drastically from 7.5 mm to 6.1 mm thin.The iPad Air 2 is not just thin but a lot lighter , it weighs around 437 grams from the original 469 grams. iPad Air 2 is also the worlds thinnest tablet.
Apple iPad Air 2 features a new and improved A8 X chip.It is the next generation of 64 bit A8 chip which specially optimized for the tablets.The Air 2 performs better than the predecessor.The Air 2 comes with the same M8 chip . The display of the iPad Air 2 is same as the iPad Air, a 9.7 inch screen but comes with a reflective coating which improves the user experience of the screen.The iPad Air 2 comes with the most anticipated Touch ID , which gives the Apple Pay to iPad as well.
iPad Air 2 comes with an 8 MP iSight camera with the all new burst mode. The iSight camera also features the Slow-Motion , that users love in the iPhone . The camera is that of iPhone 6 which gives it a great camera experience.The face time camera is the same , as it did not needed an update. The battery life of the iPad Air 2 is also the same , but the Wi-Fi is now twice as faster . It gives a faster streaming capabilities as well as download speeds.
In all the iPad Air 2 is a great upgrade in the line of the iPad's and also provides a greater benchmark for other competitors.iPad Air 2 gives a refreshing edge to the iPad line . We hope it does not perform the same"Bend Gate exclusive feature."
iMac with 5K Retina Display
The main attraction is the 5K Retina Display.The iMac with 5K Retina Display as the name suggest has a got an amazing 5K display.The display is an amazing 27 inch (diagonal) of an resolution of 5120 by 2880 .The display has an astounding 14.7 million pixels to create this display. The display is sharper and more natural than ever , this creates an amazing display and a more clearer picture for the user.The display is just 5 mm thin and has an timing device to lighten up the pixels at the right time.The timing device is innovated by apple to support such high resolution display.
The iMac can be powered by an 3.9 Ghz Core i5 to up to 4Ghz i7 processor.The iMac can be have up to 3.5 TeraFlops of graphic performance. It has a fusion hard drive for all the storage.For all the I/O transmission , Apple has announced the Tunderbolt 2 which gives up to a 20 Gbps bandwith. iMac with 5K Retina Display ,all versions come with a AMD graphic cards.
iPad Mini 3
Apple really disappointed us with the iPad Mini 3 , really not changing anything.We thought that Apple would come up with a major upgrade to the iPad Mini . The iPad Mini 3 is nothing different from the previous iPad Mini but just the touch ID sensor . We expected an A8 chip but again disappointing came with an older A7 chip.
Mac Mini
Mac Mini was not updated for quite some time, but Apple finally updated the Mac Mini also. Mac Mini now comes with a range of processors as well as storage spaces including the Fusion drive.Mac mini comes with Intel HD & Intel Iris graphics , and also comes with Tunderbold 2 for faster transfer .
The Selfie revolution has been on trending up and up only.While there are Selfie songs and some are clicking weird selfie and also TV series. Selfie phenomena has changed the world. Selfie has changed the world ,people like to click a perfect selfie . Millions of people click a selfie and share it , by their smart phones.While companies are trying to get Selfie-phones for the selfie obsessed people. So lets take a look which ones the best??
Now a Selfie phone does not mean only the front facing camera should be good. Selfie phones should feature various functionality features with the camera as well as some differential features.
Well as that the smart phone should be right for everyday usage. We are only going to talk main aspect as front-camera.
Xperia C3 :
Xperia C3 is a mid-range phone and the company is fully marketing it as a selfie phone. The sony xperia C3 is same has the line up of the Xperia series. It has the same design as all the line up of the xperia series.Waterproof and dust proof are all inbuilt. The phone is like any xperia you have felt in your hand . The Xperia sports a 5.5 inch screen size and weighs around 150g which is quite lightweight.The Xperia is powered by a Snapdragon 400 processor supporting a 1GB RAM and a 305 GPU.The phone also comes with a dual Sim support.The phone handles normal usage quite well and no issues are there in the performance of software as well as hardware.
SELFIE CAMERA :
The main comparison factor is the front camera.The Xperia C3 has a 5MP front-camera with a soft flash .The camera is quite good and has clicked some detailed pictures.The soft flash is great as it does not give a harsh light and is perfect for selfies .Low light photography is also quite nice on the C3. But does not have any additional features provided by Xperia in the software front of the phone.All in the Xperia C3 is a great camera for the Selfies.
The main camera is a 8MP camera ,saying it is quite disappointing on what it stands on the paper.The images does not come out the clarity like you would expect in a 8MP camera.The images are quite blurry as well as details are smugged.
The front camera cheers you way up but the main camera disappoints the way down .
LUMIA 730 :
Lumia 730 is again a mid range smart phone released by Nokia.Nokia Lumia 730 is among one of the phones to be released with the Lumia Denim update.The Lumia 730 has a 4.7 inch screen 720p display , a Snapdragon 400 processor with a 1GB of RAM .The Lumia performs good at its range.Check the whole detailed phone at Lumia 730.
Lumia 730 packs in a 6.7 MP as a main camera comes with all the uniqueness of the Lumia's. Well there is never to complain about Lumia camera's but 6.7 MP is really an odd figure .Coming with the latest camera features by Lumia is again a great advancement even though the Mega pixel is quite less.
SELFIE CAMERA :
The main thing now is the front camera , Lumia 730 supports a 5MP camera same as the Xperia. Now it has much of a wider lens than the Xperia . which captures a larger picture . The camera performances quite good , but does not have flash like the Xperia . But saying that Lumia selfie app is quite good in the experience in which you can shoot with the main camera as well for selfie.Lumia has tons of editing features and a whole lot new features in the new update.Overall the Lumia 730 is quite good for selfie as well as normal use.
HTC DESIRE EYE :
The Desire Eye was clearly built for selfies. HTC really took the concept of selfies way too seriously. HTC has again done it with their design perspective which is all ways better every time than the last. HTC Desire Eye has a 5.2 inch 1080p display and has wider viewing angles. Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor is powering the display and is supported by 2GB RAM. The device looks quite premium even if its plastic body. HTC performs well and the HTC Sense 6.0 brings quite some useful features.
SELFIE CAMERA :
This is the only phone which has the same camera specifications on the front and rear camera .This is also has the only phone to have such high specs on the front. HTC Desire Eye pops a 13 MP camera for the selfies, well it is not like the M8 which has dual camera but does have two tone flash.Both the camera can record up to 1080p recording. HTC has packed lots of experience for the front camera , like there's a mode with you can take pics with the front camera as well as back.One mode can lets you insert yourself into a scene using both cameras.You can also merge your face with another person's face to create a mutant selfie.You can also take selfies or record video with your voice, and a new automatic mode will snap a selfie once the phone is held still and your face is in the right place .HTC is calling all these features an " Eye Experience".
Well the front camera having such a high mega-pixel and such high features the front camera is partially good .That is the images when taken outdoors have a great image quality, the details are lot more clearer but as soon as the light levels go down the images are more noisy. HTC has never impressed with its camera qualities but does add lots features.
Well the Xperia C3 and the Lumia 730 both are great in their respective price brackets on the other hand the HTC is priced more than these but does have more advanced hardware.Saying that these are divided into two , if you got the money go for the HTC or if you choose a much affordable ,the Sony Xperia C3 has an advantage with the soft flash . On the other hand the Lumia comes with a whole lot more camera manual settings and a great camera experience.So if you want the Windows camera experience Lumia is just fine but if you want to go with tried and tested OS Xperia just fits in.

The Nexus 6 or "Shamu"(Named after a whale) or Nexus X will be expected to resemble the Moto X (2 GEN) .While there is not an official confirmation by neither Google nor Motorola. The Nexus in one of the leaked images shown is expected to have greater test benchmarks then the iPhone 6 and the Note 3.
The expected 6 inch display is far to big , as many people have problems with the large screen iPhone.And this is much much bigger.

Quad-core Qualcomm chipset clocked at 2.65GHz, and supporting it a 3GB of RAM .

While Lumia Denim update will be available in Q4 2014 , for most off the devices.Lumia features will be available in only phones which have that hardware for specific features.While majority of this have been in Android or iOS for a good time , but for Lumia users it means a lot. As Windows phone is growing at much smaller pace but frequent updates can bridge the gap between the operating systems.As Windows 10 is a long way we can except few major upgrades.
Microsoft unveiled its forth coming windows calling it the Windows 10 , there has been quite some time Microsoft has not released a new version of Windows . While Apple has been doing regular updates very year and that too free.Windows is the most widely used desktop OS and has been growing ever since. While the Windows 8 was not well received by consumers and power users.This is just Technical preview and Microsoft will be distributing to the all its fans to help them achieve a better OS with the help of feedback given by users.
Microsoft will be having a Windows 10 "Insider Program" for all who want to download the preview. Microsoft 10 will be a mixture of the Windows 7 as well as windows 8 . The ease of use of 7 as well as the touch capabilities of 8. Microsoft's Joe Belfiore pointed to the millions of customers still
using Windows 7, and said the company wants to make their transition to
Windows 10 much more comfortable than the unfamiliar leap to Windows 8
two years ago
So why call it the Windows 10 ? When asked it came with a reply that Windows 10 is a telsa to the Windows 7 prius. Windows 10 will be clear once you use the OS for some time . But definitely putting a cross to all rumored names and also the famous Windows 9.
WHATS NEW :
START MENU :
The famous start menu is back which all the Windows users were waiting for a long time.But it is redesigned with making live tiles in start menu as well.You can now search from the start-menu as well which is now has internet integration also.
WINDOWED :
Microsoft kept the windows 8 full size concept aside and made the apps in a smaller window.Like the windows 7 now you can move the apps as well as the title bar now has the minimize ,close and maximize the apps.
SNAP :
The Snap UI just got a lot better , while you can do it same like windows 8 but now adding more that is you can add up to 4 apps snapped in a single screen.With the quadrant design it can also make smart suggestions on the empty screen available.
TASK VIEW WINDOW & MULTIPLE DESKTOPS :
There is a new task view button which allows you easily to switch between apps and open files quickly, giving you also quick accessibility to desktops you created.
Create desktops for different purposes and projects and switch between these desktops easily and pick up where you left off on each desktop.Same as our leak.
COMMAND PROMPT : Finally now you can Ctrl + V on the command prompt.
While this is only the Technical preview as the consumer oriented is still a year away , we would like to see more features as well as more functionality for power users.Microsoft saying that this would be great OS for the enterprise , we hope it would add some benefits to it.While Microsoft stating that Windows 10 will be an OS for all that is phones, tablets as well as desktops.Screens ranging from 4 inch- 80 inch will be compatible.While some features are already out in the market on OS X and also many Linux OS , we would like to see what Microsoft changes from them.While Windows 10 will be available in end of 2015 , Apple would have shown its next OS . As the price point is not revealed , we hope they make it a free upgrade to Windows 8 users.
As the leaked was mostly correct , we would have love to see the notifications bar and also the continutiy feature of Apple Mac OS but Windows making it run with Windows p While for developers it would be quite easy as they just need to tweak the settings and have an app for the whole windows line.While we are not sure that the tablets would run like the desktop OS but phones are definitely no no. We are going to share most major upgrades and news , but till that time lets hope windows makes it quite better
