Nokia on Tuesday, along with the announcement of the "first Nokia-branded Android tablet" dubbed the Nokia N1, has also released the "predictive Nokia Z Launcher" as a beta app on Google Play. Previously, the company had released the limited pre-beta version of the Z Launcher app via the Z Launcher website in June.The Nokia Z Launcher also ships with Nokia N1 Android tablet as custom UI on top of Android 5.0 Lollipop. For other devices running Android versions ranging from Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to Android 4.4 KitKat can download the Nokia Z Launcher Beta app from Google Play (notably, the app is not available on Google Play India yet).
The company says that, "Throughout the day, Nokia Z Launcher is learning how you use your phone and promoting your favourite apps so you can get to them faster." It adds that over time, the "Z Launcher learns what applications are in use, and predicts and highlights the applications consumers are expected to want based on time of day and location."
Just like the pre-beta version of the app, users can 'Scribble' the first letter of the search on home screen and it finds the related app, contact or task. Nokia says that with the Adapt feature, the launcher over time "learns to promote the right stuff at the right time."
On Monday, the Finnish telecommunications giant Nokia unveiled the N1 tablet with Android 5.0 Lollipop. It features a 7.9-inch (2048x1536 pixel) IPS LED-backlit display protected by Gorilla Glass 3, and is powered by a 64-bit 2.3GHz Intel Atom Z3580 processor (4 cores, 4 threads) coupled with a PowerVR G6430 GPU and 2GB of LPDDR3 (800MHz) RAM. It sports 32GB of inbuilt storage (non-expandable).
Nokia's N1 tablet features an 8-megapixel rear autofocus camera with 1080p video recording, and a 5-megapixel fixed focus camera. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/n/ac with MIMO, Bluetooth 4.0, Micro-USB with reversible Type-C connector, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The N1 tablet from Nokia weighs in at 318 grams, and measures 200.7x138.6x6.9mm. Also onboard are 0.5W stereo speakers, and a 5300mAh battery. For sensors, it sports a 6-axis gyroscope and an accelerometer.

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact – Review Iterative products are just a way of life these days. We get a new slightly updated device every few months, sometimes every six months, sometimes even every year, Sony have mastered the iterative product cycle, releasing new products every six months ensuring they stay current. A manufacturer finds a new niche or use case and sometimes it’s a hit with the consumer, the Sony Z1 Compact was one such phone, for a while to buy a small compact Android device meant you’d have to compromise on specs, build quality and design. A few companies had tried something different but none had really made a success with them. Sony last year decided to offer a high spec device in a small chassis that would appeal to those people who wanted the latest flagship spec and high performance, but didn’t want a huge great 5″+ device that needed two hands to operate. This year they’ve gone...

Nokia Lumia 830

Launched at IFA 2014 and available for just over a week now, here's my review of the new 'Nokia Lumia 830' - if you look very, very closely at the small print, there's mention of 'Microsoft Mobile' (expect future Lumias to have Microsoft much higher in the mix though). Billed as an 'affordable flagship', the 830 does get most of the way to fulfilling this claim, perhaps only falling short at the moment because the software that enables much of its main USP is currently missing in action. Even though I have gently taken the mickey out of Microsoft’s marketing tag line for this, the Nokia Lumia 830 - the 'affordable flagship' - I can see where the company was going here. In fact, Microsoft has made it really easy to analyse, in that the Lumia 930, the previous ‘flagship’, which I reviewed here on AAWP, is so similar in so many ways, and yet more restricted in some aspects. Have a look at this table of differences and you'll...
