Nokia Introduces Asha Smartphones Beginning at Just $69Nokia Introduces Asha Smartphones Beginning at Just $69

nokia asha 500

It may be the era of the affordable smartphone. Earlier this year, for example, Google announced it was knocking $100 off the cost of its already affordable Nexus 4 phone making the 8GB model $199 and the 16GB $249.

Then Chinese manufacturer ZTE announced it would make its own phones available for just $79.99 with no contract to U.S. buyers via the Internet. The phones run on the recently introduced Firefox operating system by Mozilla.

And most recently, Apple introduced its iPhone 5c starting at just $99, an unheard of move by the tech giant known for its premium prices.

So it probably shouldn’t surprise anyone that Nokia, along with a high end phone and new Windows tablet, has released its own crop of budget smartphones starting at just $69.

Nokia introduced the three new phones at its recent Nokia World event in Abu Dhabi. The phones are all part of the company’s Asha line of devices and are upgrades of its earlier Asha 501.

Neil Broadly, a member of Nokia’s marketing team, says the phones will include:

  • The Nokia Asha 500, the most affordable at just $69.
  • The Nokia Asha 502 with 5 megapixel camera and LED flash for $88.
  • The Nokia Asha 503, a smartphone with 3G connectivity for $99.

Here’s an overview of the Asha 503 from SlashGear:

More Smartphones in Emerging Markets

The phones seem loaded with apps and designed especially for social sharing. But before small business owners in the U.S. get too excited, these devices are targeted for emerging markets. So there’s no hint if or when they will be available in the U.S.

That said, the introduction of the new Asha phones fits a Nokia objective – putting a smartphone into the hand of everyone on the planet.

For businesses of any size that are online and selling globally, this means a growing market…especially for those with a strong mobile presence.

Exploding smartphones pose risk of exposure to toxic gases, says study

Photo: iStockPhoto: iStock

The recent controversy involving Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was a harbinger of the various hazards Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries, used in billions of smartphones, can expose users to. Most of these Samsung phones started leaking out smoke and eventually caught fire, causing first degree burns to several users across the world. Samsung isn’t the first phone maker facing the battery issue. Nokia phones powered by Li-Ion battery started exploding in 2007, forcing the Finnish company to replace batteries in over 46 million devices. US based Dell had to recall some 4.1 million laptops in 2006 for similar reasons.

Samsung, it’s high time to close the Galaxy Note 7 chapter

The risk of exposure to hazardous gases

A recent study carried out by researchers at NBC Defence and Tsinghua University, China claims that fire caused by overheating, damage or using a disreputable charger with Li-Ion battery can produce more than 100 toxic gases including carbon monoxide. The study was published in international journal Nano Energy Volume 27.

Researchers exposed two types of commercially used Li-Ion batteries to high temperature in a combustion chamber made of steel glass panel. A hole was created at the top to provide an outlet to the gases. A chemical identification system was used to separate and identify the gases that were released due to the combustion. Besides carbon monoxide, the researchers found traces of sulphur dioxide, naphthalene and propylene oxide in the fumes.

Researchers point out that in real life usage overheating or damage to Li-Ion batteries can expose it to such high temperatures.

It was also found that a fully charged battery is more likely to release more toxic gases compared to a battery with 50% charge. The capacity of a battery to release charge can also affect the concentrations and release more toxic gases. This means batteries with bigger capacity pose greater risk than smaller batteries.

Lead researcher Dr. Jie Sun said, “Dangerous gases such as Carbon Monoxide have the potential to cause serious harm within a short period of time if they leak inside a small, sealed environment, such as the interior of a car or an airplane.” Read more here.

The issue with Li-Ion batteries

Part of the problem lies with Li-Ion battery itself. The liquid inside a lithium ion battery is highly inflammable. Any damage to the outer layers of the battery can cause a short circuit which in turn can cause fire and explosion. While the Li-Ion technology is not the safest it is the most convenient and compact option available to phone manufacturers right now. A single charge lasts a day, while the usable life is 2 years or 1000 charge and discharge cycles.

Alternative sources

Solar cells, Aluminium ion and Fuel Cells are some of the alternatives that have been considered by manufacturers. However, they have not been able to make them small enough so they can fit into a smartphone.

US company Apple is working on bringing fuel cells into mainstream. It applied for a patent for a portable Fuel Cell system from US Patent and Trademark office in March 2015 and was awarded the patent in September 2015. What has caught Apple’s attention is the ability of Fuel Cells to hold charges longer than Li-Ion batteries. A single charge is likely to last 4 to 5 days. It is also clean and more eco-friendly. It is widely used as APUs (Auxiliary Power Units) in electric cars, such as Toyota Prius. A Fuel Cell generates power through a chemical reaction involving hydrogen and oxygen

A British company Intelligent Energy is working on a Fuel Cell powered smartphone. In February 2016, it announced that its working with an OEM to develop an embedded hydrogen fuel call system that can keep a smartphone backed up for a week. However, initially it will co-exist with the smartphone’s Li-Ion battery.

LeEco Explains How It might Supply Away Unfastened Smartphones in India

LeEco Explains How It Might Give Away Free Smartphones in India

HIGHLIGHTS
One among the largest motives for LeEco’s success in China is its Free hardware day.
LeEco should remove the cost of purchasing smartphones altogether thru content material subscriptions.
The idea could be carried over in India, LeEco COO Atul Jain showed.
At an event in Mumbai on Tuesday, LeEco, previously called Letv, launched its top class video service in India. Dubbed “Supertainment”, it guarantees a number track and films across genres powered by usingthe likes of Eros and Hungama for distinctive content material. Priced at Rs. 490 a month, or Rs. 4,900 ayear, the LeEco Club is said to be worth Rs. 32,000 as in keeping with the employer. It includes Le Vidi, Le song, Le Stay, and LeEco Force.

Le Vidi and Le song are its bespoke video and tune on call for services at the same time as Le Liveallows customers to view concerts as they’re taking place and LeEco Power offers 5TB of cloud garagefor backing up your records several instances over. The Le Vidi and Le Stay services will release on May additionally 24, Le song and LeEco Force may be made to be had in Q3 2016. In addition to this, theemployer unveiled the Le 1s Eco – a telephone made for India with guide for 10 local languages andgreater to come back.

All of this might sound not anything out of the ordinary in a rustic in which new phones and offeringsseem to be rolling out each day, however the enterprise has an ace up its sleeve. Certainly one of the most important reasons for LeEco’s success in China is its Loose hardware day. As the the callsuggests, humans get smartphones, TVs, and other LeEco hardware Unfastened, by purchasingcontent material subscriptions. It’s a model that founder Jia Yueting takes extraordinary pleasure in.

“On April 14, we held the first Unfastened hardware day in China, while we had sales for our smartphones, TVs on our internet site. We agree with that the arena is heading for an environment era, whereinhardware may be beside the point and alternatively customers may be greater inquisitive about thecontent, price they are able to get from a tool,” Yueting announced for the duration of an event in Beijing closing month. “income of content passed CNY 2 billion [roughly Rs. 2,000 crores]. while we makehardware Unfastened and stand by using users, we positioned ourselves in opposition to oppositionand feature shaken the premise of ways the enterprise has functioned.”

We requested Atul Jain, LeEco India’s COO if a Free hardware day would be feasible in united states of america. His answer ought to go away customers optimistic about what to anticipate from the Chinese language corporation.

“It is technically possible. In case you have a look at our Club, the Le Eco Club is Rs. 4,900,” he stated, explaining how this will allow the organization to lessen the fee of devices to the factor of zero. “As I holdon including memberships, maybe In case you buy or 3 12 months memberships, I could make similarlyand in addition discounts at the device. Today we introduced a Rs. 4,000 discount [on buying the Le 1s Eco and a LeEco Membership] and i could Give more. It is stackable.”

In case you‘re the sort who is mentally calculating the price of subscriptions to get a “Unfastened“smartphone, it kind of works out to a 3 12 months LeEco Club. That is right on par with the CNY 1,500 (round Rs. 15,000) Chinese clients needed to pay in subscriptions to get the Le 1s in the course of theemployer‘s Free hardware day. Take into account that right now, the offering in terms of films and songfor India is missing in range vis-a-vis China and the Stay sports broadcast provider is lacking as nicely,but It’s a truthful degree of what you can anticipate.

What might be a hassle even though is the reluctance that human beings inside the Indian market haveproven in relation to procuring content material or different digital downloads. It is no secret thatclients here have no qualms ponying up for the latest and finest in cellphone tech, but are then adverseto spending even Rs. 60 on an app. however Jain says it’s miles a question of offering something thatusers want.

Leeco_membership_benefits_ndtv.Jpg
“If it’s far compelling sufficient and if it is without a doubt real cost for them, take a look at Nowadays, Rs. four,900. You get 5TB area [cloud storage]. I think that 5TB area itself, its a completely big part of the Rs. 4,900 as a cost to the customer,” he says. “You saw the entire value that we positioned down of all that we’re presenting is really [worth] Rs. 32,000. Consider you getting Rs. 32,000 well worth of some thing for Rs. four,900. If it’s far something that you revel in, you’ll be likely to shell out.”

On the equal time Jain is likewise considering hedging the enterprise‘s bets against users who might not pay for content material. at the same time as LeEco offers an advert–Loose subscription service, he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of a Loose tier that has ads as properly.

“I think both will coexist [ad-free and with ad memberships]. There could be a revenue on the way to beconstructed in via advertising and marketing and there will be a non-advertising favored content material. So each will manifest,” Jain said.

We attempted out the agency‘s Le Vidi and Le tune apps At the event. There was a obvious loss ofgranular manage over the satisfactory of the stream. even as its some thing that might be fixed prior torelease, we had to ask if LeEco is considering to tie up with telcos to allow users clean access to bandwidth.

“We might study doing a little tie americawith them in the destiny. Due to the fact we have lot of recordsand bandwidth intake that is there. If we will get some kind of offers or preparations for our contributors,it may be price for them,” he professes.

LeEco_1s_eco.Jpg
With a lot going on, we questioned how the employer plans to break even.

“That’s in which the environment comes in place. Every part of the ecosystem helps Every different,” claims Jain. “It’s a very, very long time [plan for India]. The extent of gadgets will lead us to an increasing number of customers coming and using our platform.” What this probably manner is that while LeEco is taking a success on hardware it is able to lean on other verticals like its cloud offerings to break even orprobably earnings.

In theory It might appear like a legitimate proposition however with Net connectivity being a glaring pointof difficulty and mentality closer to buying content being fairly non-existent, it will be thrilling to see if LeEco manages to make this a fact in India.
