Handset maker Motorola has said its latest smartphone - Nexus 6 - priced Rs 43,999 onwards, can be pre-ordered in India on Flipkart. Developed by US-based Motorola, the Nexus 6 was launched globally by Google last month and will be made available in India through the online mega store from second week of December.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 10px 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 10px 0px;">
Featuring a 5.96-inch display, Nexus 6 will come with the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system. Weighing 184 grams, the device has a 13 MP rear and 2 MP front camera. Motorola said that once Android 5.0 Lollipop is officially released, it intends to bring this latest upgrade to many of its other devices as well.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 10px 0px;">
"This includes Moto X (1st and 2nd Gen), Moto G (2nd Gen) and Moto E. We're still working out the details on timing and the upgrade depends on our partners' support," it said. Besides, another player Asus today said its Nexus 7 tablets are among the first wave of Android devices to receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop OS update.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 10px 0px;">

Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G review

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; width: 480px;">
Huawei tooted its own horn today, gallivanting about all its 4G LTE network and hardware achievements as a relatively young company.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
While the company made some fairly arrogant statements during the press conference it put action behind its words the by announcing the Ascend Mate 2 4G.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
More than a slight improvement on the last year's Ascend Mate, the Chinese phone upstart positioned its 6.1-inch phablet as a direct competitor against the big boys, including the iPhone 5S and Samsung Galaxy S4.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
Is Huawei biting off more than it can chew when it's going directly after Apple and Samsung, or does the Ascend Mate 2 4G truly live up to its promise? Find out in our Hands-on Review.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: -0.5px; line-height: 1em; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 480px;">
Big and not so tall</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; width: 480px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The Ascend Mate 2 4G is just as big as it's predecessor with a jacket pocket stretching 6.1-inch screen. While the screen remains just as oversized, Huawei trimmed the fat along the edges making it easier for our thumbs to reach across the display.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The side edges on the Ascend Mate 2 4G barely extend more than 3mm from the edge of the screen. What's more Huawei also took off a bit of chin making the bottom stick just 10.5mm out.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">

Overall the liposuction done to the Mate 2 makes the device feel very tight. There's not excess to the device other than the screen and its even 9.5mm thin. In the hand Huawei's new phablet feels more like light, yet thick slate of glass.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The only thing that's not big about the Mate 2's screen is the 720p resolution. It's certainly not the highest on the market, but the phone's interface still looks sharp and the images we took looked great too.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">

We also didn't run into any depreciative lag even with the Mate 2 running on a slightly aged Qualcomm quad-core 1.6Ghz Snapdragon 600 processor. Popping apps in Android Jelly Bean was still quick and snappy.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: -0.5px; line-height: 1em; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 480px;">
Taking better selfies</h3>

The Ascend Mate 2 4G's other big upgrade was the 5-megapixel front camera. Putting more than a bump in resolution, Huawei also introduced a new selfie concept, panoramic selfies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">

Just like turning the camera to get a wide landscape, we did the same with the front camera to get a slightly bigger group picture of ourselves. Similar to the Google Photo Sphere, the camera app guides the user on how to move the camera to take the next image.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
In a final bit of self-glamorizing, the default camera app adds a bit of "auto face enhancement." Yes, that's the real name of the feature. Unfortunate marketing aside, the automatic filter essentially post processes photos to have better saturation and tone down highlights that might come off of users rocking the bald look.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The back camera also takes auto face enhancement capable photos with a 13-megapixel sensor.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: -0.5px; line-height: 1em; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 480px;">
Early Verdict</h3>

The Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G is a big phone, there's no way look past it, but size isn't the only that makes it special. With a much tighter screen-to-body it's a completely useable with just one hand.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
With some new better selfies taking features and a large 4050mAh battery-life, that Huawei also used to take a swing at the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the Ascend Mate 2 4G definitely falls into the notable category from our initial impressions. We'll have to reserve our judgment on whether the phablet is a winner for our final review but Huawei could have something big on its hands.</div>

LG G Flex review

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
First, let's make one thing clear about the LG G Flex: It is a phablet more than just a smartphone, with a display six inches on the diagonal. It's huge, like the Nokia Lumia 1520, but its gentle curve makes it somewhat easier to hold.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
However, with its size come some benefits, like better viewing for videos and photos. A bigger phone also means, presumably, a bigger battery, so you'll get through your day with a more peace of mind.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
In fact, LG claims that the G Flex will get two to three days of mixed use, but more on that later.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
So, is there a reason for you to buy a large, curved smartphone? Let's find out.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: -0.5px; line-height: 1em; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 480px;">
Hardware</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; width: 480px;">
(Note: We are using a Korean version of this smartphone loaned to us by LG because the device is not yet available worldwide, and LG was unable to disclose whether it will hit U.S. or European markets.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The LG G Flex is large, there's no doubt about that. It's a six-inch display with a 700mm radius of curvature from top to bottom, which LG says is just the right amount of curvature for viewing, holding, manufacture and so forth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
<img alt="LG G Flex Review" src="http://cdn2.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/LG/G%20Flex/Review/lg-g-flex-review-47-580-100.jpg" style="border: 0px; clear: both; display: block; margin: 10px 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The display is 720p, which isn't the sharpest on the market by any means, but LG says it's because it was the only way to get the RGB stripe on the curved display without resorting to PenTile for higher resolution.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
At any rate, the display looks nice enough, but for a device this large, you can definitely tell that it isn't as sharp as the Nexus 5 or HTC One. It also has a strange, matte quality to it: it looks like it has some kind of grain or noise like you'd find on a photo shot with film or high ISO digital. Except it looks a lot more like color noise than luminance noise. In some cases, it's quite pleasing and somewhat cinematic, but other times you wish the images and video were cleaner and sharper.</div>

It seems like that noise may also be a quality of the coating of the display, just underneath the glass. Either way, it's very noticeable.</div>

Above the display is the earpiece and front-facing camera along with ambient light sensors, and at the bottom edge of the phone is the microphone, charging port and 3.5mm headset jack. The top edge has another small microphone, presumably for helping in noise reduction</div>

LG Intuition Review

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Intuition is in a relatively new class of devices, in that it's much larger than traditional smartphones but still smaller than a tablet computer. Because of that hybrid design, it can be a bit awkward at times figuring out where to put it. If you regularly wear a suit, you're in luck, because the Intuition will fit in any of the pockets in your suit jacket. Unless you're wearing cargo pants, it won't fit very comfortably in any of your pants pockets (and even if you were, you couldn't comfortably sit with the Intuition in one of those pockets), but it's not big enough to necessitate its own messenger bag or backpack either.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://www.brighthand.com/shared/picture.asp?f=24649" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #1d5229; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><img alt="LG Intuition" height="320" src="http://www.brighthand.com/assets/24650.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; float: right; margin: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="LG Intuition" width="284" /></a>Fortunately that somewhat awkward feeling about where to put it doesn't extend to the design or use of the device (unless you're actually talking on the phone, that is). It isn't particularly sexy, being a large black rectangle with a metallic bezel, but it isn't ugly either.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There are no buttons on the front of the device, just a couple on the top edge. A nice attention to detail is seen in the charge/sync port, which is covered by a sliding door to keep the dust and grime out. And the back is textured in a diamond pattern to enhance your grip, so that you won't drop this smartphone when you're using it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Screen</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Intuition's screen is very nice -- obviously that's the most important selling point for a tabletphone like this. At five inches, with a 4:3 display ratio, it is absolutely ginormous. Obviously you won't have to do anywhere near as much scrolling to see what you want to see, or view web pages, and you can really see the details in your photos without having to zoom in so much. You can scale up any apps that don't natively support the large screen, and it works well, although sometimes things can get just a little distorted if you choose that option and examine everything closely.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With a resolution of 1024 x 768 (XGA), I found the display to be sharp and bright, readable in all circumstances, whether in an office with florescent lights, incandescent lights at home, or outside in bright daylight. My only slight disappointment in the display is related to viewing angles, because you have to look dead on at the display or you'll get significant fading towards the edges of the screen that can make it hard to read. Sometimes you have to hold the phone at an angle, if you're trying to shade the screen from intense sunlight, or if you're sharing something with your friends, and in those situations you may not be entirely impressed with what you see.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Keyboard</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You can hold the Intuition with both hands and "type" with two thumbs as you would on other smartphones, although unless you have fairly large hands this may be somewhat awkward for you. A male friend with large hands had no problem at all doing that, and while I can manage it, the device is large enough and heavy enough that I experienced some hand fatigue while typing out several long email messages in one session.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://www.brighthand.com/shared/picture.asp?f=24651" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #1d5229; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><img alt="LG Intuition" height="233" src="http://www.brighthand.com/assets/24652.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; float: right; margin: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="LG Intuition" width="320" /></a>Perhaps as a nod to the fact that the Intuition is quite large and therefore a challenge to use one-handed, you can turn on a special one-hand keyboard option if you like. You can swipe to the side to activate it, or find it under Settings/Language & Input. Either way, you'll find that the on-screen keyboard will "squish" to one side of the screen, making it easier to "type" with one thumb instead of two. Though you'll probably make more mistakes, especially in the beginning, it's a handy feature that can save you some time if you're willing to put in a little practice.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Other Buttons & Controls</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There aren't many buttons on the Intuition; on the top edge you'll find the headphone jack on the left, then the QuickMemo button, the charge/sync port, and the power/wake button. The buttons are rather small and sleek, and unfortunately rather hard to distinguish from one another. At first you'll need to focus more on your finger position than on feeling the buttons, but after spending some time with the device you shouldn't have too much problem turning it on or activating the QuickMemo app.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The "buttons" below the screen are actually touch-sensitive areas that are large and easy to hit. In order they are Back, Home, the app switcher, and Settings. The only other physical controls on the device are the volume up/down buttons on the right side; like the buttons up top they are very small, don't protrude much from the device, and can be a little hard to manipulate until you've had some practice.</div>
