After all the rumors and requests Whatsapp has finally decided to add the calling feature to the app. The messaging app which is being used by billions of people all across the Globe will be launching the new update anytime soon now. 

Not everyone has this new feature for now as Whatsapp's calling feature is still in its testing phase so you have to wait a bit to have the feature but at least you all know that the feature is coming for sure. Only few people have this new feature. The interface remains very simple it just adds a recent calls tab and a contacts tab to the app rest of the interface is same. The calling feature will help you call your friends individually. Whatsapp hasn't launched the feature officially but they are very close.

Blackberry Passport

The financial condition of the company isn't looking good at the time but with a very small loss in the last quarter shows that Blackberry can still make a comback. This time around Blackberry has launched a very unusual device, the Blackberry Passport.

Blackberry Passport has a very interesting design. The design can attract some people but can also offend some people, but I like the approach of Blackberry of giving us something to think about. Blackberry Passport has the most powerful hardware Blackberry has ever produced. The Blackberry Passport has a very big 4.5" display and also has a physical QWERTY keypad. This is the design you don't see most often. The 4.5" LCD is covered by the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and has a resolution of 1440 x 1440 which makes an insane pixel density of 453ppi. 

The display isn't all, it also has a very powerful Snapdragon 800 SoC along with a 2.2 GHz processor having 4 cores. Moreover it also packs the latest Adreno 330 GPU and a 3 gigs of RAM. The camera department is also revolutionized. There is a 13MP rear camera which has Optical Image Stabilization and can shoot 1080p videos at 60 fps. The 2MP front camera comes with fixed focus. 

Blackberry Passport comes with a 32GB of in-built storage and also has Micro SD card slot. On the connectivity side the device has the LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0 and also the NFC. Blackberry Passport supports only nano-SIMs. It has a 3450 mAh battery and Blackberry's CEO says that it has a battery life of 36 hours, that's insane. The passport runs on the latest Blackberry OS 10.3.

The device is already available in Canada and UK. It costs only $200 on a two year contract until 1 October in Canada, after that it'll cost $250. Blackberry Passport will also be landing in 30 more countries in the upcoming few weeks and the price for the unlocked variant is $699.

Apple on Bendgate, responds to the controversy

I hope you are all familiar with the bendgate because this topic has been trending everywhere on the web for the past few days. A few users reported that their iPhone 6 particularly the bigger 6 plus has said to be losing its shape. This gave rise to an huge controversy and finally Apple has spoken out on the issue. According to Apple there are only 9 cases of bendgate reported so far which is not a big number. Apple announced that it has received 10 million pre-orders already, so compared to that, the number of cases reported is very small. Apple also added:

"iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or exceed all of our high quality standards to endure everyday, real life use. With normal use a bend in iPhone is extremely rare and through our first six days of sale, a total of nine customers have contacted Apple with a bent iPhone 6 Plus.

So there is nothing to worry about as long as Apple iPhone 6 Plus's bending is concerned. The device will not bend under normal circumstances. The iPhone 6 Plus is made out of aluminium which is a very strong material. Apple will launch the device in 20 more countries in the coming days.

Apple sold 10 Million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus units already

Apple has done it again with the new iPhones, just like previous year Apple has set a new sales record with these two new iPhones. Despite of the criticism received by the public the two new iPhones are doing incredibly well.  According to Apple 10 millions iPhones are already been sold all around the Glob. Apple achieved this new record in just 3 days of time. 

With 4 millions pre-orders received on the first day of launch Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are turning out to be hot cakes. The two iPhones went on sale this Friday and had a blistering weekend setting a new record for the company. Last year the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s managed to set a record of 9 million units sold in 3 days. Apple hasn't launched the two new beasts in China yet which has a very big market, so there will be more growth soon. 

Apple also said that on 26 of September it will increase the availability to 20 more countries and by the end of the year 2014 Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available in more than 115 countries. The trick of launching the big iPhone has worked for Apple as far as I can see. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are becoming the people's choice. Stay tuned for more news.

Motorola Moto X (2014)

An year ago Motorola announced the most customizable device of the year Moto X and now after one year Motorola has announced its successor the Moto X + 1 or the Moto X (2014). This year's Moto X is the most stunning and creative device. With 25 different color options along with four genuine leather options there are hundreds of possibilities to make your Moto X look unique. The curved metal frame looks just incredible with the colorful back panels.

This year's Moto X is built around on a 1080p 5.2" display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, that's a pixel density of 424ppi. The 5.2" HD display just looks stunning with awesome viewing angles. Everything you watch on the device just looks great and the AMOLED display on the Moto X is by far the best Motorola has ever produced. Moto X (2014) also has Corning Gorilla Glass and this time the device has the water resistant coating from inside and outside. Second gen Moto X also offers wooden covers which are made of FSC certified trees, so everything is unique about this year's Moto X.

Under the hood the new Moto X is beefed with some great specifications. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC and is powered by an overwhelming 2.5Ghz  Processor having four cores along with the latest Adreno 330 GPU. The RAM is also upgraded to 2GB. Some users may have been expecting latest Snapdragon 805 SoC but I think Moto X will just do fine against the top dogs out there in the market. Anyways 2014's Moto X offers only two storage options 16GB and 32GB and just like its predecessor it doesn't have a Micro SD slot. Another drawback of the device is the lack of stereo speakers, moreover its battery is also been downgraded, so that's a little disappointing. 

Along with a dual-LED flash the new Moto X has a 13MP rear camera which can be activated by a simple hand gesture. The camera offers HDR, Burst shot and panorama, but the surprise package is the 4K video recording. Moto X has very simple UI for the camera. The camera can also capture 2160p videos. I think the camera is pretty decent but I doubt if it can compete with the other devices like LG G3. The front face snapper also offers 1080p video recording which can be a very handy feature for the selfies.

The new Moto X also has the latest Android iteration 4.4.4 Kitkat and also has some of the exclusive Motorola features. This device has faster access to all the apps and the voice commands are also improved. Moto X (2014) runs on the same launcher which the Nexus 5 has. So you can also enjoy some Nexus experience with your updated Moto X. The device will be available for the grabs in United Kingdom, France, Mexico, United States and Germany in a couple of days. It will cost only $99.99 on a two year contract while the unlocked variant will cost you $499.99.
