Xiaomi Windows 10 Mobile

​Windows 10 Mobile arrives for Xiaomi Android phones

Microsoft would love to get some of Android's mobile market share, and here's one way they're trying to do it in China.
Yes, Windows 10 for PCs and tablets is coming out on July 29. And, yes, Windows 10 Mobile, the smartphone version, won't be released until later this year. But, if you can't wait, a Chinese Xiamoi smartphone user group, in partnership with Microsoft, has just released a Windows 10 Mobile ROM for the Xiaomi Mi4 Android handset for a select group of power-users.
Windows 10 Mobile beta is now an option for a select few Xiamoi Android smartphone users.
While you may not have heard of Xiaomi the company is China's largest smartphone vendor. The company has also recently started sales in Brazil and India.
Before this deal, Xiaomi had been exclusively using MIUI, an Android-based operating system, which had been accused of blatantly copying Apple's iOS 7 look.
Terry Myerson, Microsoft's executive VP of operating systems, announced in March that "a select group of Xiaomi Mi 4 power users will be invited to help test Windows 10 and contribute to its future release later this year. These power users will have the opportunity to download the Windows 10 Technical Preview - installing it and providing their feedback to Microsoft."
Like most of the world, Microsoft needs all the help it can get to put Windows into Chinese smartphones. According to Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, Windows Phone has only 0.8 percent share of the Chinese smartphone market.
This new offer isn't likely to immediately help Microsoft's Chinese mobile marketshare, but it does show Microsoft reaching out to the country's power users. In addition, it makes it clear that Microsoft still wants a slice of the Android marketshare pie for Windows.

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of  10 free call apps  to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

Nexus

Huawei and Google reportedly releasing a Nexus phone this fall This year, we may see a first for Google’s line of Nexus Android phones: a Chinese manufacturer.  The Information  reports that Huawei is in line to produce the device, which is said to be planned for fall. It’s not the first we’ve heard of the possibility; IBT said last month that the Huawei Nexus phone was coming, citing an employee at the company’s UK branch, while  Android Police  published a tentative rumor in May suggesting that there would be two Nexus phones this year — a 5.7-inch Huawei device and a 5.2-inch phone from LG. The relationship between Google and Huawei could be mutually beneficial beyond the phone’s co-development.  The Information  claims that talks are in progress for Huawei to help Google bring a mobile app store to China, where government regulations have restricted the search giant from conducting much business of note. HUAWEI COULD HEL...
