News from Chinese website Laoyaoba claim that the device will either be powered by Samsung Exynos 5422 or a MediaTek MT6592 CPU and will be available in both LTE and non-LTE versions. And something that would amaze most people is that this so called ‘mini’ version of the phone would measure 5″ that is quite big for a ‘mini’ version.

This mini smartphone could prove to be very successful in the western market considering its not-so-big size if Oppo manages to pack in features at a reasonable price. Also if the rotating camera is present in the N1 Mini, it could give its sales a boost. An for people who want something more on the inside, Oppo N2 too is in production and will be released anytime later this year.

In detail let’s understand What is HTC Motion Launch?

In actual its a cool new feature to interact with the new HTC One (M8) handset without actually turning the display on. In other words when the One (M8)’s screen is off, the user can wake the device up with a simple double tap, navigate to a certain app with a swipe, or launch the camera with the aid of the volume buttons. Here are few features that can be performed:

  • Picking up the phone in portrait orientation and tapping twice on the display will turn the screen on.
  • Swiping from left to right will turn the screen on and go open BlinkFeed.
  • Swiping from right to left will open the main home screen.
  • Swiping from the bottom up will open whatever screen the phone was on when it went to sleep.
  • Swiping the top down will open voice dialing.
  • Picking up the phone in landscape orientation and pressing the volume button will open the camera app.
  • Picking up the phone while it’s ringing and putting it to the side of your head will answer the call.

Now coming onto the Knockr app – It helps to perform similar function on devices having OLED display. You can define new gestures despite this default gestures including double tapping the screen, swiping in a particular direction (up, down, left or right), long pressing the screen, and pressing the volume up key.

There might be some issues as currently the app is in beta mode. So if you have met with any issue with the app then report it to the developer for bug free version.

Already we have many rumors about the upcoming Nexus devices and here we have few more leaks. In a A detailed changelog for Android 4.4.3, a.k.a. KitKat Maintenance Release 2 there seems to be the utterance of some new Nexus devices. These devices are named as HTC ‘Flounder’ And Google’s ‘Molly’.

In detail if we compare these two new leaked devices to old rumors than HTC ‘Flounder’ seems to be HTC powered nexus tablet along with the Google’s ‘Molly’ Android powered TV. Nexus devices — both phones and tablets — have used fish-related codenames in the past, so “Flounder” would fit the pattern that’s been established over the past few years. Currently we can assume only as there’s nothing more present here.

Google IO 2014 conference is coming up next month. If the above names are real than we won’t have to wait for so long. So  we can wait for some official announcements rather than believing in the leaks and rumors we are getting.
