Google's Nexus 5: Check out these photos

Google has unveiled its latest android smartphone Nexus 5 and if the images are anything it looks pretty dainty. Just a small piece of advice though: If you are into brands, buy the Nexus 5 (developed with LG). If you are into brains go for Samsung S3 - or keep your Nexus 4, or your trusty iPhone 4 (see price list of Nexus 5: US, UK and India prices below).

Also, you have good odds on your old inbuilt RAMs than the SD cards (Shock! Yes, SD cards - those things from the Jurassic park!) Google's android devices love to have. Nonetheless, the smartphone looks quite pretty and sleek. Check out the Nexus 5's looks.

The Nexus 5 looks pretty but I think I'll stick with the Nexus 4. The camera is still 8 MP. The new smartphone comes in black and white and costs $ 349 for a 16GB unlocked version or $399 for 32GB. One consolation though, is that the Nexus 5 is way cheaper than Apple's new iPhones. For example, the iPhone 5c, the cheaper of the two new iPhones, costs $549 for a 16GB version that comes without a wireless contract.

US Price: $ 349

UK Price: £ 218

India price: approximately Rs. 25, 429

"There are several app developers from India who are now part of the growing innovative community globally," the spokes...

The only UC Browser version that works on Samsung Wave 525 (Bada OS)

It's been about 4 years since the Samsung Wave 525 was launched. When it came out in 2010, it was one of the best mid-segment "smartphones" that hit the market. How many momentous, technologically-superior smartphones have come and gone since the Bada OS Wave? The 525 must now feel like a dinosaur - and it is. In terms of its web browser, the most troublesome dinosaur ever. Prior to using the Samsung Wave, I'd used several other phones and none gave me any problem when using the internet as did the 525. Browsing experience had never been so much a problem unlike the one the 525 gave me since i bought it three years ago. The various versions of UC Browser , a nifty little mobile browser that was touted to be the "fastest browser" for mobile phones that time, was the choice of wave 525 users. The only problem? In a world where every app and gadget was either android or windows, none worked for Bada OS (Samsung's own operating system). The Sams...
