However, it will get the updates after the Prime gets its share. The update includes the Google Now and will also help in improving the performance with Project Butler.

To see if the update is available or not, move towards the “About” part that you should find in the settings. Then select the “Check for firmware updates”. If you want to download and install the update, see to it that the tab is charged not less than 80% for a safe and secure installation process.

The Asus Transformer Prime made its way to India in March with a price tag of Rs. 50,000. However, as far as the Indian model is concerned, it comes only with Wi-Fi. It at the moment looks difficult for the company to launch a 3G adaptation.

Some of the highlights of the device are as follows:

• The tab uses a 1.3GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 processor – it is the first ever quad-core CPU for any handheld device.
• It comes with 1GB RAM.
• The gadget has a 10-inch LED backlit display and a resolution of 1280 x 800.
• There is the 8MP camera on the back.
• Memory is expandable up to 32GB with MicroSD card.
• For seamless data transfer, there is the Bluetooth with A2DP as well as a USB 2.0

Nokia brings down Smartphone prices before new launch

Nokia has been facing a horrid time in the market. And now as they are going to launch the Smartphone, they have decided to cut down on the prices already. The cut is expected to be anywhere between 10% and 15%. The prices will be brought down on the top two models in the Smartphone range.

The price cut is done in the hope of boosting the sales. The price of Lumia 800 was cut by around 15% and that of Lumia 900 by 10%. The price cut has been brought into effect for the European region. This month the company has already launched a couple of Lumia phones – the Lumia 820 and the Lumia 920.

Experts and buffs in the field take this launch as one of the most important for the company and feel that the very existence of Nokia is based on these two phones. However, the phones can be brought in the market only in November. That means the company has to make do with the older phones for the entire October, which might prove to be a challenging task.

Life has indeed been tough for Nokia. The company has lost as many as $3.86 billion in a year and a half. Moreover, Nokia also had to face tough competition from other companies and fell behind in the race.
