ONE PLUS TWO SPECS LEAKED!!!!!!!!
Never settle. the manufacturer who gave a punch in the face to all the big shot brands in 2014. so how are they doing now in 2015?well lets find out but before that its chinmay here from cmreviews where you get more than just reviews and you are watching oneplus two specs leaked and overview
today there was a leak of oneplus two specs . the leak was of geekbench 3 benchmark score and the let's start from the top . the score is 1256 for single core score and multi core score is a huge 4093. looks pretty awesome already aint it? well lets move ahead . the operating system is android 5.1 thats the latest and greatest for now. The model number is oneplus one A2001. wait a second isn't this the post of one plus two?? well yes it is . As we know the model number for 1+1 was A0001 and this is A2001 so technically this is 1+2. anyways let's move ahead .The processor is qualcomm 1.55ghz octa core processor. Yes it is one single processor with all 8 cores clocked at 1.5ghz so it is something new which we have not seen earlier so keep waiting for more surprises. The processor id is ARM implementer 65 architecture 8 variant 1 part 3335 revision 1 so according to me it is a new processor probably a new series of processor and this being the first variant of the new series. but again this is my taught and let me know in the comment section below if i'm wrong. The cache is not mentioned yet but we will wait for it. next up is the memory which will disappoint a lot of oneplus fans it is still 3gb . i know 3gb is not less buy in 2015 we were really expecting a 4gb ram phone from oneplus but looks like we are getting only 3gb this year.
other specs of the phone are not been revealed yet like what kind of camera will be featured on the oneplus two or what will be the size and resolution of the display but according to me it should be same 5.5inches in size and a qhd screen as 5.5 inches is huge for a smartphone and qhd being the standard for flagships these days. also for camera i'm expecting a 16 megapixel or higher camera with OIS and 4k video recording
Also a fingerprint scanner is expected to be seen on the phone which will be better than apple's scanner but the question is where will it be placed? it is obvious that oneplus 2 will not have physical navigation keys so most probably it will be on the back of the phone below the camera optics. but nothing can be said to be official till we don't see the design of the phone so thats all for now that we know and that's pretty much it for now. Go ahead and mention your thoughts in the comment section below and let me know what you are expecting to see in oneplus two. and with this we wrap up for today and i’ll be back with you another time . until then cya.

ANDROID LOLLIPOP UPDATE ROLLED OUT FOR NEXUS DEVICES : SWEETNESS OVERLOADED
Finally the wait is over for nexus devices. google finally rolled out OTA update for its nexus lineup. so after motorola moto x and moto g its finally time for the nexus users who are waiting impatiently from couple of week but its better late than never.
Yes the nexus rollout have begun but its not so happy news for some users. currently the nexus 10 , nexus 7 2012 (wifi), nexus 7 2013(wifi), and the nexus 5 are the only devices which are getting the update. nexus 7 2012 and nexus 7 2013 cellular variants and nexus 4 users have to be little more patient for the update. Also as everyone will be downloading the update right now so there will be issues with the server so you might need to hold on for couple of hours or even a day or two to get your hands on with lollipop . But those who can't wait can go here and download factory images of your particular device and flash it manually. make sure that you follow the instructions properly or it can harm your device.
After the moto x(2nd gen) and moto g(2nd gen) now its the nexus 5, 7 and 10 but we are also seeing lg Optimus g3 getting a heavily skinned lollipop update but thats for another article and will be updated as soon as possible . until then keep checking for the OTA and enjoy the sweetness. cya next time with another exciting update.

MIRROT YOUR LOCAL CONTENT FROM YOUR PHONE TO YOUR TV
but someone like me who have a sony smart tv and a samsung phone again come a problem for mirroring screen. and as I'm from india chrome cast is not available here. only samsung stock rom allows yo do screen mirroring natively but that is limited to samsung's apps like the music player galley and video player which are not the best ones out there. also i use cyanogenmod 12 on my phone thus samsung screen mirroring was no help either.
so everyone out there who don't own a samsung and sony phone or if you are just like me who doesn't use a stock rom and if you have a smart tv / chrome cast then you have a great option to cast your content on your tv called local cast
local cast is a free app which you can download from the google play store. you can share all your movies , pictures, music from your phone to your tv.
local cast have fairly simple simple to use and it is developed with material ui which is both visually appealing as well as easier to understand.
swipe from the left and you will get all the options like folders , quest, libraries etc.
clicking on the bottom right circle you will get option where you want to mirror your screen for example corrects smart tv apple tv etc. As you can se it shows me my sony smart tv to connect.
once connected you can share the content you want from your phone to your tv.
PROS
* the app is free of cost
* fairly simple with material ui
* works very fast
CONS
*major features are limited for corrects only
*mirroring pics didn't dork for me
*sometimes played random video which was not selected by me
overall the app is very good with minor bugs. the user needs to use a corrects to make full use for its features. regardless of the limitations the app is still a very good performer as mirroring videos and music comes handy a lot of times and without this app this is not possible for most of the devices. and thats all for now guys ill be back with another news soon.
GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC GETS MATERIAL UPDATE
With the sweetness of android lollipop (5.0). android is getting a major visual overhaul and material ui is the trend this time. with the android lollipop release date coming soon many of the apps are getting visual updates and among them is none other than google play music which got leaked with the material ui.
overall the flat theme is noticed in evert corner. there are some small but very attractive animations which can't be seen in pictures but they are there to make you experience better. you can download the latest google play music from here . just install it like a normal apk .
As time is moving the developers are working hard to make their apps look better with the new material ui and we will be here to cover them up. for that stay tune for more updates and don't forget to subscribe us on youtube . thats all for now guys cya later with another awesome news.

GALAXY S5 : INITIAL impressions
Yes the most anticipated device is finally revealed at MWC today and its no other than galaxy s5. another flagship phone by samsung under the s family. samsung's galaxy phones have always been the top of the line phones and pure beast in performance, so the question is what do we get this time.lets start with the design
DESIGN
we are truly disappointed to see the same design again on the galaxy s5. the phone looks almost identical to the galaxy s4 and there is no major overhaul in design. there are some noticeable changes in design like the mostly rectangular form factor like the note 3 but we dont get the stiched leather back like note 3. the physical home button have a fingerprint scanner and the menu key is replaced by a multi tasking key which would be great as after 7 or 8 months of use the home key usually gets flushed in the design as it serves for 3 features ( home, multi tasking, s voice).the phone comes in 4 colors namely the white, blue, gold, black.
Specifications
this time we see a Qualcomm snapdragon 2.5ghz quad core processor. yes we dont see a octa core version this time. the phone comes with 2gb of ram and internal storage is 16/32gb which is further expandable using micro sd card. the screen is slightly bigger now, its 5.1" 1080p super amoled display. there is a 2800mah battery.the phone is ip67 certified which means it is dust proof and water resistant. the camera is not 16mp with great software improvements and pictures taken from galaxy s5 are really great. below the camera we see the heartbeat monitoring sensor which is welcome edition as we didn't see this earlier in any samsung phones.
SOFTWARE
the phone comes with android 4.4.2 and a new build of touchwiz ui. the ui have somewhat a flat look but it looks same as earlier in some places. some of the icons have been redesigned and most of the icons are still the same and the icons in the notification panel /quick toggle panel are round. the setting menu gets a complete overhaul and there ate no more tab views but icon grid which are placed as per their category. this reminds us of the settings menu in samsung's bada os which had list view with all settings in one place. the overall ui is more colourful. the ultra power saving mode gives everything a greyscale and a very minimalistic look.the Shealth app gives you more features now using the heart beat monitoring sensor at the back but how many of you will use it? we also see all the features from galaxy s4 and the galaxy note 3 on the new galaxy s5.
CONCLUSION
Yes the galaxy s5 is a powerful device but it still have the old looks which we have been waiting to change for over 2 years now. the presentation was more focusing on the software rather than hardware which is really disappointing again because there is no mention of which cpu the phone is having or regarding the gpu. overall we are not too happy with the device. Thats all for now guys i'll be back with some more news from MWC so keep following us on twitter @cmreviews2594 for more news.

NOKIA X/X+/XL : THE GOOD , THE BAD AND EVERYTHING ELSE
Finally rumours were true after all. Finally after such a long anticipation we see android phones from Nokia. Not one nor two but surprisingly Nokia have started its android family with 3 new awesome phones which forms the NOKIA X family. These are not any high end android phones but these are something we have been waiting for from long time.
DESIGN
As we can see the design element is almost identical to the Nokia's current link of asha and windows phones which looks really great and doesn't feel cheap in hand but at the same doesn't even look premium. also we notice the 2 new colors with the Nokia x family which we have never seen with the Nokia's windows phones or Nokia's asha phones so this comes as a welcome edition.
SPECIFICATIONS
the Nokia x shares somewhat similar hardware under the hood so lets have a in depth look at the hardware specifications.
Nokia x
display 4" 800x400 (wvga)
qualcomm snapdragon s4 processor 1ghz dual core
512mb ram
4gb internal storage (32gb expandable using micro sd card)
3mp camera
dual sim
1500mah battery
Nokia x+
display 4" 800x400 (wvga)
qualcomm snapdragon s4 processor 1ghz dual core
768mb ram
4gb internal storage (32gb expandable using micro sd card)
3mp camera
dual sim
1500mah battery
Nokia xl
display 5" 800x400 (wvga)
qualcomm snapdragon s4 processor 1ghz dual core
768mb ram
4gb internal storage (32gb expandable using micro sd card)
5mp camera
dual sim
2000mah battery
so as we can see the Nokia x series seems to share somewhat the same hardware, apart from difference in ram and display size there is no other change.
SOFTWARE
this is the place where things get little surprising. yes the Nokia x series runs googles android open source project(AOSP) but there is no mention about the android version. the UI looks like a hybrid mixture of android + windows phone + asha series as we get the fast lane feature and tiles ui home screen. whats most surprising about the Nokia x series is that there is NO GOOGLE PLAY STORE. Yes the google play store is no where to be found and that looks like a really big drawback. there is no information weather we could sideload apk and install them on these phones but there is Nokia app store which have android apps and Nokia have promised there will be more third party app stores in future.
THE GOOD:
well must say this is a really good approach by Nokia into the android world with 3 new phones but at the same time the missing google play services is really disappointing. the prising of this phones is very low and will be in entry level segment . overall the Nokia x series looks promising with its tiles ui which is fast and fluid. Nokia also have a bunch of great apps which we have been seeing on their windows phone series lately and we are happy to see them on android. so how will they actually be in end consumer view? well that we will know when we finally get to do a hand on review with the phone and thats all for today guys we will be back soon with more news and reveals happening at MWC, so dont forget to follow us at twitter @cmreviews2594 see you next time.

THE GOOD:
- ANDROID
- FAST LANE UI
- CHEAP PRISING
THE BAD
- NO GOOGLE PLAY STORE
- ONLY BUDGET PHONES NO FLAGSHIP PHONE
- GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES NOT PRESENT
well must say this is a really good approach by Nokia into the android world with 3 new phones but at the same time the missing google play services is really disappointing. the prising of this phones is very low and will be in entry level segment . overall the Nokia x series looks promising with its tiles ui which is fast and fluid.

AIRDROID v2 : AN AWESOME ALL IN ONE PRODUCTIVITY APP
There is no shortage of productivity on mobile platforms, but which ones are the best? there are some apps in the android market which pushes android into a league entirely of its own. one of such awesome app is Airdroid v2. android have cloud storage, word documents, presentation, and other productivity apps but these are about same on every platform like ios and windows phone os. but unlike windows and ios, android is far more flexible which allows you to do things far more you can imagine on other platforms. the best example of this is airdroid.

You can get details about your device
Get the info/ manage the apps installed
Get a awesome file explorer
Get a good enough task manager
Thats a lot of things to do with one app but thats not all. We usually spend most of our time sitting in front of our computers screen. well instead of every time reaching for your phone its better to use the computer to do that for us . This is the biggest advantage of airdroid which allows us to remotly access our phone. just head over to airdroid.com and sign in into a airdroid account then click the start airdroid
Now go to the connection tab on your android phone and select scan qr code to scan the code on screen to get started
