Lenovo, which unveiled the Moto G5 on Sunday at MWC 2017, is bringing the phone to India on March 15. The company has already started sending media invites for the event scheduled for March 15 in New Delhi.

While the next-generation Moto G comes in two variants - the G5 and the G5 Plus, the invite sent to the Indian media hints that only the Plus variant will make its way to India. It, however, is not confirmed yet.

The Moto G5 Plus is encased in a metal body, which happens to be a first for the Moto G. Under its hood is an oct-core processor. The Moto G5 features a 12 megapixel rear with Dual Autofocus Pixels, which is said to lock onto the target in the blink of an eye. &ldquo;By utilizing 10x more pixels on the sensor, you can focus on your subject up to 60 per cent faster than Moto G4&nbsp;Plus,&rdquo; explains Lenovo.

Moto G5 Plus to be launched in India on March 15

Samsung Electronics said it would launch its next key device in the aftermath of a burning-battery scandal, the Galaxy S8, on March 29.

At the end of a product presentation at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the company showed a short video clip announcing the date for its traditional &quot;Unpacked Event&quot;.

In past years, the trade fair was the scene of major Samsung launches. This year, Samsung postponed the presentation of its next major handset.

The company withdrew the Galaxy Note 7 last October due to faulty batteries, which led some devices to catch fire.

That caused a loss of consumer trust, wiping out $5.3 billion of operating profit, and allowing Apple&#39;s iPhone to overtake it in sales.

Besides, Samsung Electronics launched two new tablets on Sunday, marking its first major announcement since being forced to withdraw the flagship Galaxy Note 7 smartphone after some of the devices caught fire.

The Galaxy Tab S3 and the Galaxy Book were presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, in past years the scene of major Samsung launches.

The Galaxy Book will run on Microsoft Windows 10. The Tab S3 will have speakers by Harman-owned AKG, Samsung&#39;s first use of the brand since agreeing to buy Harman for $8 billion last year.

Classic Nokia 3310 makes a comeback

HMD Global, the new manufacturer of Nokia phones, has announced a global portfolio of Nokia-branded Android phones - Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 - a day ahead of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 kicks off in Barcelona. Priced competitively, the entire range of Android phones from Nokia will be available globally from the second quarter of 2017.

The Nokia 3 is the cheapest of all and carries a price tag of 139 euros. The Nokia 5 and the Nokia 6, on the other hand, are priced at 189 euros and 229 euros, respectively.

Unlike the Nokia X, XL and XL+ Android phones from Microsoft, the new Nokia phones are pure Android devices. &ldquo;The new Nokia smartphones feature Google&rsquo;s most recent innovation, the Google Assistant, building further on a great Android experience. Our teams have worked together to ensure&nbsp;the Google Assistant is integrated, allowing for conversations with the Google Assistant to take place easily on Nokia smartphones,&rdquo; says HMD Global in a press note.

The Nokia 3 features a 5-inch display, 8 megapixel rear and front cameras, and comes in four colours - Silver White, Matte Black, Tempered Blue and Copper White.

Nokia was once the world&#39;s dominant cellphone maker but missed the shift to smartphones, and then chose Microsoft&#39;s Windows operating system for its &quot;Lumia&quot; range.

After the 2014 deal, Microsoft continued selling cheaper basic phones under Nokia&#39;s name and Lumia smartphones under its own name, but last year, it largely abandoned both businesses.

HMD in December took over the Nokia feature phones business and struck a licensing deal that gave it sole use of the Nokia brand on all phones and tablets for the next decade.

It will pay Nokia royalties for the brand and patents, but Nokia has no direct investment in HMD.

Nokia is back, but now in an Android avatar

Chinese telecoms giant ZTE has unveiled what is claimed to be the world&#39;s first smartphone compatible with the lightening-fast 5G mobile internet service that networks expect to have up and running by 2020.

The company said the Gigabit Phone is the first smartphone capable of download speeds reaching up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) - up to 10 times faster than the first generation of 4G services widely in use today.

The device, unveiled in Barcelona in northeastern Spain on the eve of the Mobile World Congress, the world&#39;s biggest mobile fair, will allow for 360-degree panoramic Virtual Reality video and fast downloads of ultra Hi-Fi music and videos.

&quot;With the new device, the way people stay connected will be changed forever. Focusing on 5G technologies will be one of the key priorities of ZTE&rsquo;s global development,&quot; a ZTE spokesman said.

Tech firms are racing to develop products that will be compatible with 5G, shorthand for the fifth generation of networks, which promise blazing fast connectivity for a generation used to streaming movies and TV directly to phones.

South Korean carrier KT Corp aims to offer trial 5G services during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. 
The first large-scale commercial deployment of the technology is expected in 2020.

Forrester analyst Thomas Husson said ZTE was using the phone to &quot;showcase innovation&quot; and &quot;offer a glimpse into the future when people will be able to download full movies in seconds&quot; but it was not likely to be a big seller.

&quot;The sad reality is that this smartphone will not end up in consumers&#39; pockets because both 5G and Virtual Reality are still years away to be a mass-market consumer reality,&quot; he added.

Founded in 1985, ZTE offers telecom equipment and services and has customers in more than 160 countries, according to the company.

It is the only Chinese smartphone vendor with a meaningful presence in the United States, where its 10 percent market share makes it the fourth-largest vendor.

Meet the world's first 5G-ready smartphone

Aiming to take on arch-rivals including Samsung and Apple, LG Electronics has unveiled its new flagship smartphone. Named G6, the newest LG phone is said to have been &ldquo;designed in response to consumer feedback and user opinions&rdquo;.&nbsp; According to the company, the G6 has a focus on the features consumers want, most notably a big screen that actually fits in one hand.

The LG G6 comes with a 5.7-inch QHD+ display with a resolution of 2,880 x1,440 pixels. It has an 18:9 screen aspect ratio, which is claimed to be the first-ever in a smartphone. Compared to conventional 16:9 aspect ratio displays, the 18:9 format offers more viewing space. 
&nbsp; 
If we go by LG&rsquo;s claims, the large screen on the G6 doesn&rsquo;t make it difficult to hold. &ldquo;Unlike other phones with a similar screen size, the LG G6 fits comfortably in one hand, giving you a big screen experience without the inconvenience of a big phone,&rdquo; says LG.
<style type="text/css">.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
</style>
<div class="embed-container"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6vMLTdgRB8Y"></iframe></div>

 
The phone is encased in an aluminum and glass body, and comes in three colour options - black, platinum and white.

The LG G6 is also touted to be the first smartphone to feature Dolby Vision technology. It not only includes Dolby Vision, but also has support for HDR 10 - both of which are standards for High Dynamic Range (HDR), the picture quality technology which allows for a wider range of colour and luminosity. 
&nbsp; 
Explaining why LG has included support for both Dolby Vision and HDR, LG says, &ldquo;With smartphone screen sizes getting bigger and the speed of the Internet becoming faster, LG decided to support two HDR standards for viewers to have access to as much content as possible. With HDR content from Netflix and Amazon on the rise, watch popular shows in stunning HDR quality on the LG G6. Amazon will also increasingly create 18:9 content for a cinematic viewing experience on the 18:9 QHD+ display.&rdquo; 
&nbsp; 
Coming to its cameras, the LG G6 features two 13 megapixel camera sensors at the back, including a 125-degree lens on the wide angle, and a 5 megapixel front camera. 
&nbsp; 
The LG G6 is both dust- and water-resistant. According to LG, it can be immersed in up to 1.5 metres of water for as long as 30 minutes. Other specifications of the phone include 4GB RAM, 32GB/64GB storage variants (with support for microSD card up to 2 TB),&nbsp; Android 7.0 Nougat, 3,300mAh battery and built-in Google Assistant.

The LG G6 uses a proprietary technology that dissipates heat via an internal heat pipe, the first in an LG smartphone. And to further disperse heat inside the unit, LG engineers have positioned the components most prone to overheating as far from each other as possible. 
&nbsp; 
Key Specifications: 
 
Chipset: Qualcomm&reg; Snapdragon&trade; 821 Processor 
Display: 5.7-inch 18:9 QHD+ FullVision Display (2880 x 1440 / 564ppi)

LG G6: LG unveils new flagship smartphone ahead of MWC 2017

Chinese electronics company TCL unveiled its first BlackBerry-licensed smartphone which brings back the device&#39;s signature physical keyboard as it seeks to revive the once mighty brand.

The KeyOne phone has a larger screen than previous BlackBerry devices and a fast charging battery as TCL sets its sights on businesses and tries to rekindle BlackBerry&#39;s strong reputation for productivity and security.

In the new Blackberry phone, the keyboard can be used for more than just typing. The spacebar on the keyboard also doubles as a fingerprint sensor while individual letter keys can be programmed as shortcuts to open specific apps.

Running Android 7.1 Nougat OS, the new BlackBerry KeyOne features a 4.5-inch display, 8MP front camera with flash and a 12MP rear camera. It also runs the BBM secure-messaging system, which BlackBerry earlier this month said it would make available for software developers to build into their own products.
<style type="text/css">.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
</style>
<div class="embed-container"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_LFEJUTrnu0"></iframe></div>

 
The KeyOne will go on sale around the globe in April at a cost of 599 euros ($549).

&quot;The new BlackBerry portfolio has a chance of success, because few companies now offer BlackBerry-style design and features, and the productivity-focused smartphone segment is underserved,&quot; said Ian Fogg, head of mobile at research firm IHS.

&quot;Even if BlackBerry&#39;s smartphone share remains so low it is hard to quantify, the vast scale of the smartphone market - over 1.5 billion units will ship in 2017 - means even a tiny share would represent significant unit volumes and revenues,&quot; he added.

TCL reached the brand-licensing deal in December after the Canadian company announced that it would halt in-house production of smartphones, marking the end of an era for the once-dominant tech firm. Under the agreement, BlackBerry will remain in control of software and security on smartphones, while TCL will handle creating handsets powered by Google Android software.

Officials from both firms unveiled the KeyOne in Barcelona in northeastern Spain ahead of the start on Monday of the four-day Mobile World Congress, the world&#39;s largest annual phone expo. BlackBerry worked closely with TCL to build security into the new device, said Alex Thurber, the general manager of BlackBerry&#39;s mobility solutions unit.

&quot;At BlackBerry we live and breathe security. Security has been engineered into the entire manufacturing process, throughout the hardware and of course the software,&quot; he said.

BlackBerry&#39;s physical keyboard was one of the drivers of the popularity of its earlier phones but it was dropped once touch screens became popular.

The company in 2014 launched a &quot;Classic&quot; smartphone that brought back the keyboard but the device was discontinued in July. TCL said it would be coming out with new BlackBerry products later this year.

&quot;What we are unveiling today is just the beginning of a new story,&quot; said TCL chief executive Nicolas Zibell.

TCL is best known as the maker of Alcatel handsets and ranked as the world&#39;s No. 7 phone maker, according to recent data from research group IDC. It is the third-largest maker of simpler, so-called feature phones popular in Latin America and emerging markets, according to market research firm Strategy Analytics.

The BlackBerry KeyOne will go on sale from April at $549.

Chinese electronics company TCL unveiled its first BlackBerry-licensed smartphone which brings back the device's signature physical keyboard as it seeks to revive the once mighty brand. The KeyOne phone has a larger screen than previous BlackBerry devices and a fast charging battery as TCL sets its sights on businesses and tries to rekindle BlackBerry's strong reputation for productivity and security. In the new Blackberry phone, the keyboard can be used for more than just typing. The spacebar on the keyboard also doubles as a fingerprint sensor while individual letter keys can be programmed as shortcuts to open specific apps. Running Android 7.1 Nougat OS, the new BlackBerry KeyOne features a 4.5-inch display, 8MP front camera with flash and a 12MP rear camera. It also runs the BBM secure-messaging system, which BlackBerry earlier this month said it would make available for software developers to build into their own products. The KeyOne will go on sale around the globe in April at a cost of 599 euros ($549). "The new BlackBerry portfolio has a chance of success, because few companies now offer BlackBerry-style design and features, and the productivity-focused smartphone segment is underserved," said Ian Fogg, head of mobile at research firm IHS. "Even if BlackBerry's smartphone share remains so low it is hard to quantify, the vast scale of the smartphone market - over 1.5 billion units will ship in 2017 - means even a tiny share would represent significant unit volumes and revenues," he added. TCL reached the brand-licensing deal in December after the Canadian company announced that it would halt in-house production of smartphones, marking the end of an era for the once-dominant tech firm. Under the agreement, BlackBerry will remain in control of software and security on smartphones, while TCL will handle creating handsets powered by Google Android software. Officials from both firms unveiled the KeyOne in Barcelona in northeastern Spain ahead of the start on Monday of the four-day Mobile World Congress, the world's largest annual phone expo.

BlackBerry KeyOne: Everything you need to know about the new BlackBerry phone

Seeking to escape a cycle of falling prices and tight regulation, big telecom operators from Vimpelcom to Telefonica are set to reinvent themselves as Internet players to escape the industry&#39;s straight-jacket of low growth.

Next week&#39;s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona will feature phone companies in various stages of acceptance that the industry&#39;s predictable, decades-old business model based on selling data packages by the millions is running out of steam.

Beneath the facade of shiny new phones and dusty debates over network technical implementations, Europe&#39;s largest annual technology fair will see top phone companies&nbsp;parading far-reaching business makeovers.

Spain&#39;s Telefonica is set to introduce a broad plan it calls the &quot;4th Platform&quot; to help both consumer and business customers keep greater control over their data rather than giving it away to web giants Google, Facebook and Amazon.

Russian and emerging markets operator Vimpelcom is tearing up many parts of the telecom rule book to remake itself as a tech player in the fast-growing world of messaging apps.

US telecom giant AT&amp;T has inked a series of huge deals to diversify by acquiring Direct TV for $67 billion and is awaiting approval to buy Time Warner for another $110 billion.

&quot;Regulatory and pricing pressure on telecom operators forces them to look to adjacent areas for new sources of revenue and margins,&quot; said attorney Tom Levine, head of Allen &amp; Overy&#39;s global telecoms practice.

&quot;There isn&#39;t a consensus on how to do this.&quot;

It&#39;s also an open question whether the industry is structurally capable of big change. Telcos have dreamed for decades of breaking free of the shackles of consumer regulation and branching out into Internet services in their local markets, only to be consistently beaten by newer, global upstarts.

Russian laboratory

These dramatic changes come as telcos brace to offer new networks ready to handle not just spiralling data use on phones but in cars, in factories and offices and even crop fields. The new generation of 5G networks will provide them new business options but also spells mounting competition from computer, Internet and industrial players with digital plans of their own.

Russia has emerged as the world&#39;s most advanced laboratory for telecom companies seeking to reinvent themselves as Internet players, as classic telecom business pressures, Western economic sanctions and government rules that reduce Silicon Valley giants to small local players create space to combine forces.

Vimpelcom, Russia&#39;s No.3 operator, has undertaken a top-to-bottom overhaul of its business while gearing up for deeper Internet partnerships with the likes of streaming music and online taxi services. The company also focuses on emerging markets from Bangladesh to Algeria and is the world&#39;s sixth largest operator in terms of number of mobile customers served.

Megafon, the No.2 network provider, has acquired control of sister company Mail.ru, a major Russian Internet player - the Russian equivalent of Verizon buying Facebook - and plans to offer a new mobile version of social media site VKontakte.

Top Russian telecoms player MTS is so far sitting on the sidelines, but its executives have signalled they too believe their long-run future lies in Internet services.

Meanwhile, Telefonica sees its &quot;4th Platform&quot; strategy as a way to stoke faster growth and compete aggressively with globally dominant internet players while being a logical evolution of existing businesses, a senior company source said.

The strategy builds on its long-standing investments in communications services, its broad geographic reach across Europe and Latin America and efforts to offer advanced money-making services on top of basic communication connections, but does not require making huge new investments, the source said.

&quot;Now is the turn of the fourth platform: the data. That is Telefonica&#39;s (new) equity story,&quot; the source said of its bid to boost margins by, for example, enabling customers to analyse mountains of data to make their own businesses run smarter.

Other phone companies are taking more modest steps.

Norway&#39;s Telenor, another emerging markets operator, has pushed into data analytics, while Vodafone is making inroads in new industrial internet and connected car applications, through its 2014 acquisition of Cobra Automotive.

Do they have the DNA?

Still, many telecom operators take a dim view of some of the aggressive moves being made by these peers, especially when it comes to business models based on commercialising customer data.

Deutsche Telekom, Europe&#39;s largest telecom operator by revenue, sees this as no-go territory in privacy-conscious Germany. Instead, it is focused on making strides into new connected industrial arenas and cloud computing.

Telekom&#39;s main growth story is likely to remain the United States where it revolutionized the mobile industry by offering unlimited data plans and international roaming packages. Using aggressive marketing, T-Mobile has gained at the expense of rivals, making it nearly as big Telekom&#39;s core German business.

France&#39;s Vivendi, which embarked on a grand misadventure last decade to combine telecom and media assets, offers a cautionary tale for investors betting on these new reinvention stories.

For telecom operators used to predictable cash flows and firm regulatory boundaries, the main issue may be cultural: Most just don&#39;t have the stomach for such drastic transformation.

&quot;Working out how to bring in that entrepreneurial DNA, without disappointing users&#39; expectations of reliability, and recognising the financial expectations of institutional shareholders, is not easy,&quot; Levine said of healthy dividend payouts which remain the industry&#39;s main draw to investors.

Mobile World Congress 2017: How the saturated mobile world seeks to reinvent itself

The internet is abuzz with reports claiming that the iconic Nokia 3310 is coming back. While there is no word on the same from HMD Global, the Finnish company that now owns the rights to use Nokia&#39;s brand on mobile phones, speculations are rife that the company will unveil the Nokia 3310 in a new avatar at Mobile World Congress 2017 in February.

But these are just rumours and may not turn out to be true, which means that you might miss a trip down memory lane with the new Nokia 3310 - something that many of you have been wishing to embark on ever since its comeback was reported by famous tipster Evan Blass.

We are not sure if the new Nokia 3310 would see the light of day and make you relive your old memories, but we are certain that the text from over-a-decade-old press release of the Nokia 3310 will definitely take you back in time.

It is not only reminiscent of those frequently-exchanged text messages, which eventually would lead to the removal of ink from buttons, but will also remind you of the phone&rsquo;s sturdy build and long battery life.

&nbsp;Here&rsquo;s the full text from the press release:

Nokia introduces mobile chat with the Nokia 3310

Nokia has today announced a new mobile phone, the Nokia 3310, with a unique chat function, allowing users to chat with text messages on their phones while on the move. With this innovation, Internet chat groups will no longer be confined to the desktop. The Nokia 3310 has been designed particularly for young people and the young at heart, for whom the mobile phone is an important lifestyle accessory and who are already extensively using various messaging services. The Nokia 3310 was unveiled at the &quot;Don&#39;t be bored. Be totally board.&quot; lifestyle event in Oberhausen, Germany, on September 1. In Asia Pacific, the Nokia 3310 was simultaneously launched at &quot;Nokia Unplugged&quot; concerts held in Hong Kong, Manila, Philippines, and Cheng Du, China. The product will be available in the 4th quarter, 2000.

The chat function allows you to have a conversation, similar to the chat services on the Internet, with the other party by using short messages. The chat feature is based on enhanced SMS messaging in which you can send and receive chat messages when the Nokia 3310 is in chat mode. With the Nokia 3310, it is possible to send a chat message even to a phone that does not have the chat functionality since the messaging channel is the normal SMS. The message is then received in the form of an SMS.

Mobile chat is fast, easy, and even anonymous if you so choose. When the phone is in chat mode, you can automatically send and receive chat messages. The messaging functionality has an easy-to-scroll chat history on your phone screen, and all messages are identified by the given chat nickname. You can give yourself your own nickname with which your message is sent to the recipient. The phone supports point-to-point chat between two persons, and with the operator-dependent Nokia FriendsTalk service also launched today, it is possible to engage in multipoint chat with several people simultaneously.

&quot;We are very pleased to announce an innovation that represents the next wave in messaging services. Mobile chat is a logical evolution of SMS based services. This chat application will allow the formation of entirely new types of mobile communities. The chat function will appeal to the needs of today&#39;s trendy users, who will now be able to take their chat rooms with them wherever they go. For operators, mobile chat offers the combined advantage of a hit service and a future-proof growth path,&quot; said Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President, Nokia Mobile Phones, Europe and Africa.

The new phone is small and slim, weighing only 133 grams. Despite its small size, it offers users an extensive array of features. In addition to the new chat function, templates allow you to build personalized standard messages. Concatenated messaging enables you to type longer messages - the Nokia 3310 automatically connects up to three messages together making the message nearly three times longer than normal SMS messages. The multiple send feature of the Nokia 3310 makes it possible to send a message to multiple recipients. With the Nokia 3310 it is also possible to send picture messages to other picture message-enabled Nokia phones. Other attractions are the new games, Space Impact and Bantumi, and full editable profiles that are downloadable over the air, consisting of a screensaver, a ringing tone, and a profile name.

The Nokia 3310 is equipped with the Nokia Navi? Key, the famous innovation enabling easy access to phone features. A sensitive built-in antenna makes the phone convenient to carry and use. The GSM 900/1800 phone also operates on EGSM (Extended GSM) 900 networks, which allows operators with access to this bandwidth to expand network capacity. The standard NiMH battery provides up to 4 hours and 30 minutes of talk time and up to 260 hours of standby time. Xpress-on front and back covers are available in 6 different colors. Accessories include a new Mobile Holder for the car (MBC-6) and a new Desktop Stand (DVC-10). The phone supports 28 language options. Language availability depends on where the phone is sold.

Nokia is paving the way to the mobile information society with its innovative products and solutions. The company is the leading mobile phone supplier and a leading supplier of mobile, broadband and IP networks, related services as well as multimedia terminals. In 1999, Nokia&#39;s net sales totaled EUR 19.8 billion (USD 19.9 billion). Headquartered in Finland, Nokia is listed on the New York (NOK), Helsinki, Stockholm, London, Frankfurt and Paris stock exchanges and employs more than 60 000 people.

It is still unknown if HMD will unveil the new Nokia 3310 at its press conference on February 26 in Barcelona. But, certainly, we won&rsquo;t stay away from bringing you the good news if the phone hits the store shelves again.

HMD Global, which is bringing back Nokia-branded phones, is yet to confirm if the Nokia 3310 will make a comeback
