For quite sometime now, rumors have been floating around that Nokia is working on a dual SIM Windows Phone device. According to earlier leaks and rumors, Nokia Moneypenny is expected to be a dual SIM smartphone running Windows Phone 8.1 and is will be launched either as Lumia 630/Lumia 635. Today, popular leakster @evleaks has tweeted a screenshot from Nokia Moneypenny. As seen from the screenshot, there are two status indicators clearly proving the fact that the device is infact a dual SIM smartphone. There are also separate numbered tiles for phone and messages for each SIM. In addition to the dual SIM feature, as previously leaked by @evleaks, Windows Phone 8.1 will be having on screen keys instead of capacitive touch keys. The resolution of the screenshot shows that the resolution of the device will be 480x854 which is a small bump from current standard of 480x800 pixels. The extra vertical pixels are probably for the on screen navigation buttons. Unlike the abundant dual SIM Android smartphones that crowd the Indian mid-range market and have one 3G and one 2G SIM card slot, the Nokia Moneypenny smartphone is shown to have two 3G SIM card slots.

Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 Review The Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 is the much awaited successor to the S Duos which was the Samsung phone to get in the mid range not long ago. It had offered pretty much similar specifications as the Galaxy S but at a far lesser price making it a good deal, although only for a short time. Mainly because a lot of local players got aggressive with the pricing and offered a lot of better deals for a similar price, not to mention Nokia's Lumia 520, which has been a popular device at a lesser price offering more value. With such renewed competition, Samsung hopes to offer a better deal with the Galaxy S Duos 2. How better of a deal is it? We find out in our review. Box contents We had unboxed the S Duos 2 a while ago and found it to have the usual box contents, here is a pic of all of them laid out - • Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 Phone in White • Micro USB Charger • Micro USB data cable • Information booklets • Headset in matching colour You can read about our first impressions and have a look at the box contents in ...

Nokia phone codenamed Normandy was expected to be a large-screen Asha phone with the looks of Lumia, but the recent rumors suggested that the Nokia Normandy is an Android smartphone that Nokia is working on, which might be released in 2014. Now evleaks has posted an image of the phone in new colors. The Twitter user has also mentioned the year as 2013 in the tweet, so the phone might not be released since the year is going to end, even though earlier rumors revealed that Nokia is continuing the development of Nokia Normandy in “full steam”.
