ARCHOS to launch new smartphone, 3 phablets at MWC 2015

ARCHOS, a gadget manufacturer that focuses on the mid-range and entry level niches, is gearing up for the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015 at Barcelona with a new smartphone in tow, and a couple of large screen devices. These devices are firmly targeted at the mid-range to lower-end tiers of the market – at consumers looking for functionality at a lower price.



The new smartphone is called the ARCHOS 50 Oxygen Plus 3G, quite a mouthful right there. The phone will most likely have a 5-inch HD (720p) screen, with a MediaTek octa-core processor. It’s in a slim form factor as well, at just 7.2mm. It will also feature 16GB of internal storage, priced at around USD$150. The “3G” marker in the name is no fluke – that means the phone will only have 3G data connections. ARCHOS is coming out with a 4G version by June 2015.

The company is also coming out with 3 phablet-sized devices – the ARCHOS 52 Platinum, the ARCHOS 59 Xenon, and the ARCHOS 62 Xenon. All feature HD (720p) screens with screen sizes increasing from 5.25 inches, to 5.9 inches, and then finally a humongous 6.27 inches respectively. All of the devices will feature the MediaTek MT6582 quad-core processor running at 1.3Ghz supported by 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. All devices will run Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box, and will have 3G connectivity.


If you will be at Barcelona in the next few days, you can check these devices out on the ARCHOS booth at the MWC 2015 floor, among all the great and wonderful devices sure to be there during the whole week.

Grifta Morphing Gamepad works for consoles and Android gaming

There are plenty of game pads out there for Android gamers who want something other than on screen or tilt controls. A new game pad has debuted called the Grifta Morphing Gamepad that is nothing like the flat game pads that are out there right now.



Grifta reminds me of half a PS2 gamepad and its half a gamepad design claims to be much more ergonomic than a traditional flat gamepad. Grifta can also be customized to more comfortable fit into your hand with small, medium, and large silicone rubber handgrips available.

The company says it is also working on a grip that you can customize to fit the shape of your hand. The controller has shoulder buttons that use capacitive switches making the layout comfortable and easy to use. An 8-way D-pad is fitted along with numerous buttons.

The project is on Kickstarter seeking £65,000 and has raised over £72,000 so far. A pledge of £30 or more will get you a Grifta while early bird units are still available. Shipping is expected to happen in July 2015. There are also colored controllers you can buy if black isn’t your thing.

A New Way to Promote Your App on Google Play

Posted by Michael Siliski, Product Management Director, Google Play


Google Play now reaches more than 1 billion people on Android devices in more than 190 countries, helping a growing number of developers like you build successful global businesses. In fact, in the past year, we paid more than $7 billion to developers distributing apps and games on Google Play. We remain as committed as ever to making Google Play the best place to find great apps, games and other entertainment.


App discovery plays a critical role in driving your continued success, and over the past year Google has provided best practices to enhance app discovery and engagement, as well as app promotion tools to get the most out of search and display advertising for developers. We are always looking for new ways to help you get your apps in front of potential new users. That’s why, in the next few weeks, we will begin piloting sponsored search results on Google Play, bringing our unique expertise in search ads to the store.


With more than 100 billion searches every month on Google.com, we’ve seen how search ads shown next to organic search results on Google.com can significantly improve content discovery for users and advertisers, both large and small. Search ads on Google Play will enable developers to drive more awareness of their apps and provide consumers new ways to discover apps that they otherwise might have missed.



In the coming weeks, a limited set of users will begin to see ads from a pilot group of advertisers who are already running Google search ads for their apps. We’ll have more to share in the coming months about the expansion of this program as we look at the results and feedback. We believe search ads will be a useful addition to Google Play for users and developers alike, and we hope this will bring even more success to our developer community.



Sony Xperia M4 Aqua image leaks

With Mobile World Congress just around the corner, smartphone makers are gearing up to roll out a plethora of new devices at the show. We already know that Samsung and HTC have their live stream pages up and counting the days until the unveils start. Sony will also be on hand at MWC to show off its new devices.



Ahead of the official Sony unveil; an image of a new Xperia smartphone has hit the web. The image is said to the of a new Sony Android device that will be unveiled at the show called the Xperia M4 Aqua. No specifications were leaked along with the image of the device.


However, the Aqua in the name suggests that the smartphone will be water resistant. Water resistance would be nothing new, Sony and other smartphone makers have been producing water resistant devices for a while now.


All we can glean from the image right now is that the Xperia M4 Aqua has the signature Sony power button, a dedicated camera button, and a flap that covers the microSD card slot. Rumors claim the device will rock a 5.2-inch screen, 2GB of RAM, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, and run Android 5.0.

Moto Maker will now allow you to custom your new Moto 360

Despite the recent mini-controversy over Apple's Sir Johnny Ive's opinion over Motorola's build-your-own platform with Moto Maker, the OEM seems to be standing by its design and marketing principles. They recently announced that not only can new users continue to build their own Moto X, but now you can also customize a Moto 360 smartwatch using the same groundbreaking tool they've started. If you're still on the fence about getting a wearable from Motorola, maybe this new development will convince you.



For now, the Moto Maker will only be able to give you design options for the Moto 360. You can choose from the watch casing (silver, black, or champagne gold), the band (two sizes and either leather or metal), and watchfaces (11 choices of what you'll see first when you turn on the watch). For some people (especially the fashion-conscious ones), what stops them from getting a smartwatch is the fact that they don't like the designs that most OEMs offer, so this customizable wearable from Motorola is their chance to make their own, despite the limitations of course.


While the design options are a big bonus, this can also pave the way in the future for Motorola to offer even more options in terms of hardware and to even upgrade products quickly. According to Dickson Isaacs, Motorola's Director of design for wearables, their research shows that people care about details, the construction of their gadgets, and even the materials used. The Moto Maker enables them to be involved in a way in the creation of their device, and so hopefully later on, even the insides will be included in the customizable options.


There is no official announcement yet as to when the Moto 360 can be found in the Moto Maker, but it will be available for US, UK, France, Germany, and Mexico. We may be able to hear more details during the Mobile World Congress that will start this weekend in Barcelona.
