5 Best Smartphones Launched at CES 2014

In the past few years, the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), has become more of a gateway to experience computing stuffs (apps, tablets and hybrids).
 
Surely, this year also we have witnessed smartphone related announcements.

Brands like Huawei, ZTE, Sony and Alcatel had managed to show thier upcoming handsets. Sony, in particular, impressed critics by coming up with a mini version of popular Xperia Z1 Compact.
 
 
That's not all but Sony also announced a variant of Xperia Z1, dubbed Xperia Z1s. Though, we would've expected the Japanese giant Sony to release the device outside USA.
 
Apart from Sony, Chinese tech vendor ZTE has come with its high-end offering, the Grand SII. The device will hit the Chinese market first, followed by India sometime later this year with modified hardware. 
 
Next comes, Huawei's Ascend Mate 2 4G LTE, which was unveiled at this year's CES. You might want to expect the handset to India in August time frame.

Honda's new crossover concept to debut at Delhi Auto Expo

Honda has a slew of products lined up for India this year. The all-new City was launched at the start of the year, and Honda's got the budget- MPV and premium hatchback segments covered as well. If there's something it lacks in its current portfolio, it's a compact SUV. The Vezel's not coming to India anytime soon, but there have been suggestions about a Brio- based mini-SUV that's being readied. Well, now Honda's announced its Delhi Auto Expo line-up, and the most important bit of news is the global premiere of its new crossover concept. Called the 'Vision XS-1', this one's a utilitarian crossover, which Honda says will feature "sporty styling and outstanding utility space based on Honda’s unique packaging technologies". That's all that Honda has to tell us about the XS-1 for now, but rest assured, it will be a fairly practical vehicle featuring niceties like "magic seats" and touch-operated aircon controls and what have you. Eye candy at Honda's stall at the Expo will come in the form of the Ferrari 458-baiting NSX concept, and the Accord Hybrid will be present to highlight Honda's technical prowess. Honda will also show the Mobilio and the new Jazz, both of which are scheduled for launch later this year, along with its existing range of cars. And just to top it off, Honda's two-wheeler division will showcase an all-new scooter. We shall have more details closer to the Expo, so stay tuned. *Picture of the Honda Urban SUV concept used for representation purpose only
