Nokia Storyteller for Windows Phone - Hands on Videos

Nokia Storyteller for Windows PhoneNokia had a busy keynote at Nokia World 2013, during with the company introduced a new series of apps to accompany their latest smartphones. Among those apps is a new gallery app called "Storyteller".

Storyteller which will be available Nokia's Windows Phone and Windows devices, automatically compiles your pictures and videos from Facebook, SkyDrive, Picasa, Flickr and from your Lumia smartphone into stories on an interactive HERE map by time and place. When you take a photo or record a video, you can see precisely where it was taken on a familiar HERE map.

When you open Storyteller, you will see clusters of photos scattered across the globe and zoom in to an exact location. Plus, zoom out of any photo within the gallery to see where it was shot. You will also notice that your photos truly come live, the videos are played in-line, the action shots are beautifully animated, and the refocus effect is subtly played back to give the immersive feeling when browsing between the images.


The app also allows you to see points of interest around the photos taken and pull up contact info, call or email directly from Storyteller, enabling you to authentically re-experience your entire journey when the time comes.







The Storyteller app along with other software enhancements will be arriving on existing Nokia PureView devices with the Nokia Lumia Black update.

Nokia Asha 500, Asha 502 and Asha 503 officially announced


Nokia announced three new members of the Asha family at today's Nokia World keynote in Abu Dhabi - The Nokia Asha 500, Nokia Asha 502 and Nokia Asha 503. The new Asha phones come in a wide variety of vibrant colors, but that's not all they have to stand out with visually. They feature something called a crystal-clear design, with a bright, colorful body covered by a transparent layer.


The new Asha Series like its predecessors are not meant to wow you with their specifications. They are entry level devices aimed at emerging markets and don't claim to be otherwise. The Nokia Asha 500 comes with a 2.8-inch 240x320 pixel touchscreen, a 2MP camera, and the option to have the handset in either single- or dual-SIM flavor. The slightly superior Nokia Asha 502 offers a 3-inch touchscreen, and a better, 5-megapixel camera with LED flash. Again, the phone supports dual-SIM functionality, which is a feature often demanded by the consumers Asha phones are targeted at.


The Asha series has a new flagship in the form of the Nokia Asha 503 which features a 3-inch 240x320 pixel touchscreen protected by Gorilla Glass 2 and a 5MP camera with LED flash. Interestingly, this is the first 3G-capable phone in the Asha series. Expect seeing it in both single- and dual-SIM configurations.

The Asha devices are based on the same Asha platform which was demonstrated on the Nokia Asha 501. It offers both a traditional icon-oriented home screen and a secondary list, called Fastlane, where frequently used features are organized. This allows users to instantly access their favorite apps and social networks.










The WhatsApp application will also be headed to the Asha platform in the coming weeks, bringing all the the features its current users know and love.


The Nokia Asha 500 will be released in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, priced at about $69 before taxes. The slightly more expensive Nokia Asha 502, priced at around $89 unsubsidized, will launch in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe and Middle East. Last but not least the Nokia Lumia 503, expect it to carry a price tag of roughly $99 unlocked will be made available in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.

Nokia Lumia 2520 officially announced

Today is definitely a day of first for Nokia. Alongside the announcement of their first phablet, Nokia has also taken the covers off their first modern tablet - the Nokia Lumia 2520. While Microsoft's Surface tablets dont come with data connectivity, the Lumia 2520 proudly runs Windows 8.1 RT with 4G LTE for ultimate mobility.

The design is typical Nokia Lumia line, with thin polycarbonate housing that will be available in red, cyan, glossy white and mate black colors, and the housing is very compact at 267 x 168 x 8.9 mm with 615g of weight.

Nokia has also chosen to power their tablet with a 2.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800, which is one of the most powerful mobile processors. The processor flaunting an Adreno 330 graphics and has 2GB of RAM. The device comes with a 10.1 inch full HD display which has a 1080 by 1920 pixel resolution and a record 650 nits brightness and sub-6% reflectivity on its display which should result in excellent outdoor visibility under sunlight.



The Lumia 2520 comes with only 32GB of internal storage. But you can expand it through the microSD slot if you want more storage space. You additionally have the SkyDrive cloud storage for backing up and accessing your files while you are on the go.


The camera on the Lumia 2520 has a 6.7 megapixel sensor with a Carl Zeiss lens and a wide f/1.9 aperture, which is the same camera found on the Nokia Lumia 720. It also has a 2 megapixel camera in the front for Skype video calling. Nokia has included some exclusive software like the Video Director, Nokia Camera, Storyteller app for Windows, which the camera can take advantage of. HERE Maps will also debut on Windows RT with the new Lumia tablet.


The device has a generous 8000 mAh battery under its shell, which amounts to up to 10 hours of continuous usage. We also have the boatload of radios - Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS and even NFC thrown in, so compatibility with Nokia's Near Field communication accessories is guaranteed.

The Power Keyboard comes with two full-size USB ports for full access to your productivity needs.

Nokia Lumia 1520 officially announced

The Nokia Lumia 1520 was officially announced today, during the Nokia World 2013 keynote. The Lumia 1520 brings alot of first for Nokia, including being the first phablet, its also the first to feature a 6 inch 1080p full HD display from the company. It is also the first Windows Phone and the first from Nokia to be powered by a quad-core processor.

Lets take a closer look at the device itself and device into some of the features which makes it unique among the plethora of Android competitors in the market.


Design

The Lumia 1520 measures in at 162.8 x 85.4 x 8.7 mm and weighs 209 grams. It has wireless charging built in and comes in black, white, red and yellow. More colors maybe offered down the line based on the popularity of the device.


Nokia has even decided to include a microSD card slot on the Lumia 1520, allowing you to expand past the limitation of the internal storage. This is a useful feature on such a large device, since you will likely store many of your videos for watching on the go. Nokia has also used a nano SIM with the Lumia 1520, which is the same as whats used on the newest iPhones.


Specifications

Firstly you are greeted by a generous 6 inch display which has a 1080 by 1920 pixel resolution. That amounts to a 367 ppi pixel density, allowing for an additional third column of Live Tiles for the first time in Windows Phone. The display features the PureMotion HD+ technology coupled with Nokia's ClearBlack filter which should offer superior sunlight legibility, with excellent contrast and reflectivity ratios, great viewing angles, vivid colors and ultra fast refresh rates.


An enormous 3400 mAh battery will keep the device running, with a promise of up to 25 hours of talk-time and 11 hours of video playback. Along with managing the high resolution display, the battery also has to handle the powerful quad-core processor that is powering the device.

Nokia Lumia 1520 - Specs
The Nokia Lumia 1520 specs include a 6 inch 1080p full HD display, up to 64GB of internal storage, a 20 megapixel PureView camera with Carl Zeiss optics capable of 1080p video capture, and a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM

Nokia has managed to match some of the most powerful Android handsets in the market by including a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor with the Lumia 1520, making it the most powerful Windows Phone in the market and the first to feature a quad-core CPU. You also have 2GB of RAM managing your data efficiently.


20.7 MP PureView camera

If you were wondering how the hardware specifications of the Lumia 1520 make it stand out against its competitors, you don't have to look further than its PureView camera. Nokia has included a 20.7 megapixel sensor with Carl Zeiss lens, improved Panorama and optical image stabilization. The camera alone takes the Lumia 1520 ahead of all its phablet competitors. Since the sensor is a scaled down version of the 41 MP sensor in the Lumia 1020, it will also offer 2x lossless zoom in stills mode, and 4x for HD video capture.

The maximum usable resolution is 18 MP in 4:3 aspect ratio, meaning we will be getting an oval sensor like in the Lumia 1020 flagship. The dual capture mode will bring 5 MP images in automatic mode with the pixel-binning technology that combines the information of four or more pixels into a "perfect" one. A full 16 MP wide aspect mode is also available, meant for for the ultimate detail capture.


The new Nokia Camera app which has been included with the Lumia 1520 combines all the camera modes into one super app. Nokia has also introduced a new Storyteller app which comes the HERE location services with the photos and video, to allow a seamless story of where you have visited. These new features will be a part of an update codenamed 'Nokia Black' which comes combined with Windows Phone 8 GDR3 and should be headed to other Lumia devices soon.

The Lumia 1520 also comes with a record four HAAC microphones, which promises the device will be a winner in sound recording and call quality compared to its competitors.


Pricing and Availability

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is a premium phablet and as expected, it comes with a premium price of $749. The device is expected to be headed soon to AT&T which should offer it at a subsidized pricing.
