The Nokia X is likely to go on floors at the Mobile World Congress 2014, scheduled to be held in Barcelona, Spain on Monday. The event will kick-off at 8.30 a.m, Monday local time Barcelona (1 PM IST) where the much anticipated Nokia X smartphone will be in spotlight. As per the numerous leaks and rumours from the past few months, we have noted the handset to gradually replace the existing low-end Asha line-up.  Nokia X, according to some recent leaks, appears to be a mini version of the firm's Lumia Icon smartphone when it comes to design. Furthermore, the handset is likely to arrive with a 4-inch TFT display with a resolution of 480x854 (FWVGA) pixels.  A 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor is said to be housed inside the Nokia X.

The Galaxy Round created some buzz in tech circles when Samsung announced it earlier this month, but no one in the downtown Seoul cafe where I played with the curved screen smartphone asked me about it or even gave a curious glance. That is likely because the curve is so subtle it is not apparent without a close look. At first glance, the Galaxy Round appears similar to the Galaxy Note 3 phone, which also has a big display measuring 5.7 inches diagonally. I could see the Round's left and right edges were raised slightly only when viewed from the top or from the bottom. After handling the device for about 20 minutes, it became clear why Samsung shied away from putting a more dramatic curve in the display. Reading news articles and Twitter messages made me feel light-headed after just a few minutes, especially with the phone in an upright position. Sentences weren't level and looked skewed, hampering my reading experience. It's less of a problem, but still one, wi...
