More Nokia X (Normandy) spy shots emerge

The Nokia X, aka Normandy, is out in the open again – spy shots reveal a device with looks that won't be out of place in the Asha line. That's exactly where the Nokia X is headed allegedly, now that Nokia has sold its smartphone business and the Asha line just can't compete with dirt-cheap Androids.




The alleged specs for the device are a 4" WVGA screen, dual-core 1.2GHz processor with 512MB RAM, 5MP camera, 4GB of expandable storage and optional dual-SIM. It's essentially an Android rendition of the Lumia 520.

It won't be mainline Android though but rather a Nokia customization with Google's Play services swapped out for Nokia ones. Amazon did it and Nokia already has great maps to replace GMaps, but what of the rest?

Well, Nokia is holding an event on February 24, just before the MWC gets into full swing and we'll know more then.

First leaked pictures of Windows Phone 8.1 notification center

It's no secret Microsoft is working on the Windows Phone 8.1 update that is supposed to bring notification center and intelligent voice assistant among other features. We've heard rumors and seen lots of alleged shots before, but today we finally get a glimpse of the real deal.

The leaked photos show the settings of the upcoming notification center and are from an early test build of the WP 8.1

Windows Phone 8.1 Notification Center settings

As you can see you can assign four quick toggles (Cellular data, Brightness, Wi-Fi, Airplane mode are the ones on the shot). There is also a checkbox for access the notification center from the lockscreen. Then there are the notification services you want to enable - emails, messages, etc.

It seems Microsoft is going to put everything the modern droids have in the notification center, instead of bringing it feature by feature as some of the competitors did.

Windows Phone 8.1 is expected to be unveiled at the annual BUILD conference in April and released soon after on all WP8-running devices.

HTC Butterfly receives Android 4.3 Jelly Bean upgrade

HTC is now rolling out Android 4.3 firmware for the first Butterfly smartphone. The update is available over-the-air, weighs about 500MB and brings lots of novelties.




These are some of the changes the new firmware is going to bring on your Butterfly:

    Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
    HTC Sense UI 5.5
    Better HTC Blinkfeed
    Customizable Video Highlights
    HTC Zoe camera mode
    GIF creator from Zoe or burst shots
    Enhanced music channel
    Bug fixes and performance improvements

Reportedly the update is already available in Malaysia, but will hit (if not already) other regions very soon. There is no info if the Butterfly will be getting KitKat though.

Meanwhile we got some info on the Verizon's Droid DNA. It seems the phone will be skipping the 4.3 Jelly Bean update in favor of 4.4 KitKat. The information is not official - it comes from @LlabTooFeR, who develops HTC ROMs, so you should take it with a pinch of salt.
