Sprint LG Optimus F3 look like a low-end phone. Not everyone wants the latest and greatest. To a lot of people, price is the most important spec.

• LG Optimus G2 coming to Sprint with Snapdragon 800

People love to have bigger screen. Nokia should release WVGA big screen phones ASAP. Samsung is attacking on all fronts and Nokia can’t afford to loose further market share. I don’t know why is the wait.

Digitimes: Nokia is reportedly in discussion about making larger-size handsets that may be released in the next year, according to industry sources.

Hopefully they launch it this year rather than 2014.

• T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 925 new features
• Verizon Nokia Lumia 928 now on Sale
• Nokia Lumia 928 on pre-order at Verizon ships on May 20

Nokia Lumia 925 looks better than the Lumia 920! The camera should’ve been 8.7 megapixel, six-element Carl Zeiss with OIS. This feels like an incremental upgrade, not a new “flagship” device.

Flipkart India has just listed XOLO’s latest quad-core Android 4.2 smartphone ‘Q1000′ on their product page as ‘Coming Soon’. However, there’s no word on pricing and the exact release date yet. Specs-wise, the Q1000 packs a 5.0-inch 1280 x 720 HD IPS touchscreen display, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, a 1GB RAM, a 4GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot (up to 32GB), dual SIM card slots, dual cameras (1.2MP front & 8MP rear), WiFi, a 2100mAh battery and runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS.

Hopefully Motorola XT1056 (Motorola X Phone) will be coming to Sprint. 802.11ac for Wi-Fi, the wireless specs alone are making me itch to find out more about it. It’s almost time for me to upgrade my access point to 802.11ac.

FCC

802.11ac for Wi-Fi
HSPA+ 21 Mbps over the 2100, 1900 and 850MHz bands

I’m curious as to whether or not it will happen. Motorola hasn’t put out a phone on T-Mobile in over 2 years.

Following Pebble Watch’s overwhelmingly successful fundraising campaign via Kickstarter, creators of the Agent are touting their new smartwatch at the crowd funding platform.

Other notable features include wireless Qi induction charging with an included pad.

What Else You Need To Know:

- Early-bird backers at Kickstarter can pre-order the device for $129.

- The gadget features a 120HMz ARM Cortex-M4 processor, a 1.28-inch display, Bluetooth 4.0, onboard motion and light sensors and an OS that allows developers to write apps for it using C# and Microsoft Visual Studio.

- The watch, according to the creators, should get up to 7 days of battery life with its smart functions activated, or up to 30 days of standby in “watchface-only” mode.

- Tech giants Apple, Samsung, Google and LG are also developing their own smart watches, according to recent reports.
