Launch an updated Android based McLaren Nokia
Launch an updated Android based McLaren Nokia
Earlier today the Nokia-branded, and probably almost completely forgotten about, McLaren Windows Phone popped up unexpectedly. It was a quick hands-on report, with some live images of the canceled device, sitting next to the Lumia 1020 it was supposed to replace but never got the chance to. This is a device that first caught attention back in 2014, and now, more than two years later, its a relic of a lost time.

Lenovo K5 Note expected to launch in India with 4 GB of RAM
Lenovo K5 Note expected to launch in India with 4 GB of RAM
Lenovo launched the Vibe K5 Note back in January this year in China, rather surprisingly alongside the Vibe K4 Note, but the company is now preparing to bring this smartphone to India, with the device expected to launch next week, on August 1. If youve been looking forward to the latest affordable offering from Lenovo, theres some great news that should get you even more excited about this launch.
A post on Lenovo Indias Twitter page teases the fact that the Indian edition of the K5 Note will feature 4 GB of RAM, instead of the 2 GB of RAM that was available with the original version. The K5 Note is an improved version of the Vibe K4 Note that had launched earlier in India, and sports a full metal body. Apart from the upgrade in the amount of RAM, we can expect the other specifications to be similar to the Chinese variant, including a 5.5-inch Full HD display, a large 3,500 mAh battery, and 4G LTE support.
With so much RAM at your disposal, the only thing youll worry about on the #KillerNote5 is running out of apps.https://t.co/zZLBI7HCju

Similar to the Vibe K4 Note, its successor features a rear fingerprint scanner, a 1.5W speaker with Dolby ATMOS surround sound and supports Lenovos TheatreMax technology and ANT VR headset for converting games and videos in virtual reality. However, its not yet known if Lenovo will bundle the ANT VR headset along with the Vibe K5 Note, like it had done in with the K4 Note. We can also expect the Indian variant of the K5 Note to release with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box.
Lenovo has built quite a reputation for offering budget-friendly smartphones, and the Vibe K5 Note sells for about approximately Rs.11,300 in China. The device in India is expected to be priced slightly higher at around Rs.11,999 but the difference isnt much, especially when you consider the extra 2 GB of RAM that is being added.
Let us know in the comments below if you think the Lenovo Vibe K5 Note is a good deal at this price!

Google Developers teams up with General Assembly to launch Android Development Immersive training course
Google Developers teams up with General Assembly to launch Android Development Immersive training course
Posted by Peter Lubbers, Senior Program Manager, Google Developer Training
Today at the Big Android BBQ we announced that we have teamed up with General Assembly (GA), a global education institution transforming thinkers into creators, to create a new Android Development Immersive training course. This 12-week, full-time course will be offered beginning in January 2016 at GAs New York campus, and in February at GAs San Francisco campus and will roll out to additional campuses over the course of the next year. It is the first in-person training program of its kind that Google Developers has designed and built.

The Google Developer Relations team teamed up with General Assembly to ensure the Android Development Immersive bootcamp provides developers with access to the best instructors and latest and greatest hands-on material to create successful app experiences and businesses. To effectively reach over a billion of Android users globally, its important for developers to build high-quality apps that are beautifully designed, performant, and delightful to use.
We are constantly looking at the economy and job market for what skills are most in-demand. Demand for developers who can address this market and build new applications is tremendous, said Jake Schwartz, co-founder and CEO, General Assembly. Developing this course in partnership with Google Developers allows us to provide students with the most relevant skills, ensuring a reliable pipeline of talented developers ready to meet the urgent demand of companies in the Android ecosystem, a key component of GAs education-to-employment model."
Registration in the Android Development Immersive includes access to GAs career preparation services and support, also known as Outcomes, includes assistance in creating portfolio-ready projects, access to career development workshops, networking events, and coaching and support in the job search process. Through in-person hiring events, mock interviews & GAs online job search platform, graduates connect with GAs hiring partners, which consists of close to 2,000 employers globally.
One of these employers is Vice Media. "Im really excited to see the candidates coming out of the GA Android course. The fact that theyre working with both Google and potential employers to shape the curriculum around real-world problems will make a huge difference. Textbook learning is one thing, but classroom learning with practitioners is a level we have all been waiting for. In fact, Vice Media is going to be hiring an apprentice right out of this course," said Ben Jackson, Director of Mobile Apps for Vice Media.
