Vaio Phone Biz With 5.5-inch Display, Windows 10 Mobile Launched
Those craving for a smartphone featuring Microsoft's mobile operating system may want to look at Vaio's new offering. The Japanese company, best known for its laptop lineup, has just launched a Windows Phone (Windows 10 Mobile) smartphone called the Vaio Phone Biz.
The Windows 10 Mobile-based Vaio Phone Biz (VPB0511S) is only the second smartphone the company has ever produced. As you may recall, Vaio launched the Vaio Phone (VA-10J) running Android last year.
The Phone Biz sports a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display coupled with mid-range hardware specifications. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 octa-core SoC clocked at 1.2GHz paired with 3GB of RAM, and 16GB of inbuilt storage. The handset also has a microSD card slot, which a user can utilise to expand the storage by up to 64GB.
The Vaio Phone Biz features a 13-megapixel rear-camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing sensor. The smartphone supports 4G LTE, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and other standard connectivity features.
On the software front, the Vaio Phone Biz runs Windows 10 Mobile, the mobile SKU of Microsoft's latest Windows 10 operating system. Despite offering mid-range hardware, Vaio says that the smartphone will support Continuum, a feature that allows a user to plug-in the smartphone to a TV, monitor, or a large screen and use it as a computer.
The Vaio Phone Biz is available in Silver colour variant. Vaio says that it will begin selling the smartphone from April in Japan at a price point equivalent of $430 (roughly Rs. 29,000). That said, it's a rather bold move from Vaio to decide to launch a Windows 10 Mobile smartphone when the platform is seeing such a slow adoption in the market.

Samsung additionally announced its plans to make its devices in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan but failed to give any particular time frame.

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro with 16-megapixel camera, 4GB RAM leaked
After announcing the Galaxy A9 with 6-inch full HD display back in December last year, Samsung seems to be working on a “Pro” variant as well. Carrying a model number of SM-A9100 and a price tag of Rs 24,179, the smartphone was recently spotted on India’s import-export site Zauba when it entered for testing in India. Of course, the price tag is for the prototype and has no bearing to the commercial price, which is likely to be higher. The alleged smartphone was also put through paces on GFXBench, which sheds some light on its specifications and features.
Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro specifications and features: According to the GFXBench listing, the smartphone boasts a 5.5-inch full HD (1080p) display. Having a Pro model with smaller 5.5-inch display compared to 6-inch display on the Galaxy A9 (2016) doesn’t make sense. So we will have to wait until more details emerge.
Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s 1.8GHz octa-core SoC with Cortex-A72 cores, which could likely be the Snapdragon 652. While the Galaxy A9 is equipped with 3GB of RAM, the pro version gets a slight bump to 4GB and internal storage of 32GB, of which 25GB is user accessible.
In the photography department, GFXBench logs a 15-megapixel primary camera, whereas the front camera seems to be 7-megapixels.The Galaxy A9 Pro was spotted running on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS.
While no other information is available as of now, the smartphone could be headed for an official announcement in the coming weeks. We will keep you posted as and when more details emerge.

OnePlus 2 Gets a Price Cut
OnePlus on Monday announced price revision for the OnePlus 2 smartphone which will now retail at $349 (approximately Rs. 23,700) for the 64GB model. Prior to this, the OnePlus 2 64GB model was priced at $389 in the US. We can expect the company to make an announcement for the Indian market shortly. Until the time, the OnePlus 2 in India will be retailing at Rs. 24,999 for the 64GB model and Rs. 22,999 for the 16GB model.
OnePlus Co-Founder Carl Pei confirmed the news on the company's forum. "The OnePlus 2 now has a price modification of $349," he said. Pei also confirmed that consumers who bought the OnePlus 2 smartphone within the last 15 days will be getting a refund in price - $40.
The company also announced that with Valentine's Day around the corner, it will be announcing new offers for consumers. For now, consumers who buy any OnePlus device will receive a free StyleSwap Cover or OnePlus X Case.
To recall, the OnePlus 2 was launched in July last year and the company scrapped the invite system for the flagship smartphone in December. The invite free system meant that those interested in purchasing the smartphone won't need to have an invite.
Last month, OnePlus made the OnePlus X "completely invite-free" - specifically, in regions including India slightly later.
To refresh, the OnePlus 2 features a 5.5-inch in-cell display with a full-HD (1080x1920 pixel) resolution; powered by a 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 810 v2.1 SoC clocked at 1.8GHz; 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM; dual 4G Nano-SIM cards (dual-SIM dual standby); USB Type-C connectivity; 13-megapixel rear camera; 5-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 3300mAh battery.

Lenovo Vibe P1 Turbo With 16-Megapixel Camera, 4900mAh Battery Launched
Lenovo has quietly launched the 'Turbo' variant of its Vibe P1 smartphone in Indonesia. The Lenovo Vibe P1 Turbo is available for pre-orders at IDR 3,999 (roughly Rs. 20,000) in Silver, Graphite Gray, and Gold colour variants. The handset's availability details outside the region are not yet known.
The dual-SIM (micro+micro) supporting Vibe P1 Turbo shares almost all the specifications with that of the Lenovo Vibe P1, but with a slightly better rear camera. While the Vibe P1 features a 13-megapixel rear camera, the Vibe P1 Turbo features a 16-megapixel autofocus rear camera. Rest of the innards remain the same, though there is a mismatch on the company's product page - which mentions both 2GB and 3GB of RAM.
As per the company listing, the 4G LTE (with support for Indian LTE bands) supporting Lenovo Vibe P1 Turbo runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, and is a powerhouse featuring a 4900mAh battery. It features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) IPS display with pixel density of 401ppi; Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz; Adreno 405 GPU; 2GB of RAM (though as we said, 3GB is also mentioned); 32GB storage; expandable storage support up to 128GB via microSD card; and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. It measures 75.6x9.9x152.9mm, weighs 187 grams, and houses connectivity features such as NFC, USB OTG, FM Radio, A-GPS, Bluetooth v4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, and Wi-Fi Hotspot. Also featured are accelerometer, proximity sensor, and ambient light sensor.
The company last year also launched its Lenovo Vibe P1m smartphone along with the Vibe P1. The handset is the 'lite' variant of the Vibe P1, and features a smaller display, different processor, and less RAM. It sports a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display, is powered by a 64-bit quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor with 2GB RAM, and 16GB storage with expandable storage support.
