Wipeout 2 brings the big balls back to Android

Fans of the Wipeout TV show will be glad to learn the Wipeout 2 game has just arrived at the Google Play Store. Available for free, the game is based on a popular show in which contestants try to get through an obstacle course… and not an easy one.

As you can imagine, the game is very similar to the ABC series, except with a bit more flare and magic added to the equation. You can create your own character and choose its specific characteristics, which in turn make them better at certain abilities. Your character can get better with time and dedication, earning XP after beating each obstacle course.



Now let’s talk about these insane obstacle courses: they are definitely as fun as you have seen in the TV show. Even the “big balls” are included! The idea goes hand in hand with the original Wipeout game, which we reviewed in depth last year. You can give it a quick read to learn more about the franchise.

The game is simple and all you need to focus on is getting through those pesky obstacles. There is no way you won’t have at least a little bit of fun with Wipeout 2, so go ahead and download it from the Google Play Store for a quick run. It’s completely free, so there is nothing to loose.

Makers of Camera360 go for a fresh start with highly configurable Mix photo app

The Chinese startup behind Camera360 claims to have over a quarter of a billion users, but that hasn’t stopped the team trying a fresh start for a new and more configurable photo app calledMix, which launched this week.

Compared to Camera360, Mix – now free on Android; an iOS version is coming soon – has lots more filters and several layers of special effects that can be applied on the same image (if you so wish). You can mix and match the filters and create your own presets.

After playing with Mix for a while, it seems like it’s trying to incorporate the best bits of Snapseed, VSCO Cam, Camera+, and Pixlr-o-matic (and, inevitably, Camera360) all at the same time. Mostly it does the task well. You can go overboard with the effects, but often it does a great job of getting the right mood. Here’s a rather disappointing photo I took a few days ago that Mix managed to enliven in just the right way (with the help of some fake fluffy clouds):

 
The new app also claims to have depth-of-field filters (pictured top) to achieve the close-up focusing of a DSLR, though I suspect it’s actually more like clever use of blurring to simulate a DSLR lens. Either way, the flexibility of Mix to do this will be welcomed by some users.

There’s no social network element to Mix, so you’re free to go post the resultant photo in apps like Instagram or Facebook.

As with Camera360, the Chinese startup is hoping for a global hit with Mix. Other Chinese app developers doing the same thing include Meitu, which recently came out with Pomelo app, which we also liked using.

Mix is available for Android.

Verizon launches Motorola Luge

Verizon launches Motorola Luge

Verizon has launched a not-so-brand-new phone named the Motorola Luge. It’s a great mid-range phone, but some of you may get less excited after you realize it’s nothing but a re-branded Motorola DROID RAZR M, meant for the carrier’s prepaid network.

Just in case you forgot, specs include a 4.3-inch qHD display, a Snapdragon MSM8960 processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage, a 2000 mAh battery and more. All for the price of $299.99 straight from Verizon ($199 through the website).

Opinion: I would say that is a bit pricey for a mid-range smartphone. Especially considering affordable options are becoming quite abundant. The RAZR M is a good little phone, though, and Verizon users don’t have many options.

Xiaomi is gearing up to release the Redmi 1S in India

Xiaomi is gearing up to release the Redmi 1S in India

We all know Xiaomi can’t keep devices in stock for more than some seconds. Maybe stacking up on more devices will help them stay in stock for over a minute or so. This is why Xiaomi is really gearing up for their Redmi 1S Indian release.

The manufacturer has stocked up 40,000 units for this launch! They often limit their stocks to about 10,000, meaning you will probably have more time to rush to their website and buy the phone.

Opinion: We are expecting these to sell like hot pancakes, so be ready as soon as September 2nd comes around. It’s a 5,999 INR (about $100) device!

T-Mobile HTC One M8 for Windows coming during the Fall

T-Mobile HTC One M8 for Windows coming during the Fall

Hot on the heels for the HTC One M8 for Windows? Verizon launched it exclusively, but we know it’s coming to other carriers in the near-future.

T-Mobile has taken it to Twitter to announce that the Windows Phone-clad HTC powerhouse will be coming to Magenta’s network during the Fall. Furthermore, they have provided a website where you can pre-register to get more information as soon as it is available.

Opinion: I am eager to see how well Windows Phone works on the HTC One M8. They have taken a bold move, so let’s hope it’s not a bad experience.

The rumors are true. @HTCUSA One M8 for Windows is coming this fall. Pre-reg: http://t.co/8Eqd2UJGwE @WindowsPhonepic.twitter.com/vMnQsJU64d

Suggest best Choice for smartphone between Google Nexus 5, Samsung S4 & Moto X

My vote goes to Google Nexus 5. I would like to mention that I have heard lot of complains of overheating of Nexus 5. So, next comes Moto X. I would suggest your friend to wait while as Moto X+1 will be launching soon with improved hardware. If he/she don't have enough patience, then I would suggest Moto X. It's solid device. The dope product.

Flipkart Joins Hands With Intel To Launch 5 New Digiflip Pro Tablets

This is also the smallest tablet in the Digiflip Pro range with a 7inch capacitive touchscreen which has a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. On the inside you get a 1.2 GHz Dual Core Intel Atom Processor Z2520 along with 1GB of RAM. The Digiflip Pro ET 701 is powered by a 2800mAh battery and comes with Wi-Fi connectivity only. Flipkart has included a 2MP rear camera and 0.3 MP front camera with the tablet. Since the tablet comes with 8GB of internal memory you should set aside some cash to expand the storage with help of microSD cards of up to 32GB. The tablet is available in Red, Blue Grey and White for Rs. 5999.


Digiflip Pro XT801 & XT811

 ​

These two tablets have 8 inch IPS panel displays of 1280 X 800 pixels and under the hood you find a slightly more powerful 2 GHz Dual Core Intel Atom Processor Z2580 with PowerVR SGX 544MP2 graphics and 1GB of RAM. On these tablets you can find a 5MP rear and 2MP front cameras. The tablets are powered by 4200mAh battery and have a bigger internal storage of 16GB and a microSD card slot. The Wi-Fi only XT 801 costs Rs. 8999 and if you want 3G connectivity with voice calling you have to go for the XT 811 which sets you back by Rs. Rs. 10999.

Digiflip Pro XT901 & XT911

 ​

The Digiflip Pro XT901 & XT911 are the biggest tablets in this range as they come with 8.9 inch IPS panel displays which have a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. On the inside you come across the same processor and graphics but you get a bigger 2GB RAM for better multitasking. You also have the same 5MP and 2 MP cameras and 16GB of internal storage along with a humongous 6500mAh battery. As you have guessed by now the Digiflip Pro XT901 gives you Wi-Fi connectivity only for Rs. 13999 and 3G connectivity enabled XT911 costs Rs. 15,999.

With the launch of these tablets, Flipkart has shown the industry that its hardware range is here to stay. Its previous effort, the Digiflip Pro XT 712 did not manage to stand up to its expectations as customers complained about flimsy build quality and buggy software. We hope that Flipkart does not repeat the same mistakes with these new ones.
