New packaging for Lumia phones spotted

Microsoft has launched Lumia 630 in myriad countries but not many are talking about its new packaging which is radically different from the typical blue boxes we have seen since launch of Nokia windows phones.

LxbgiMO

Personally we loved the old blue packaging. However since Nokia was using the same blue color for their feature phones, a change to differentiate the Lumia lineup from Asha was much required. The new box makes use of white color primarily instead of blue and is flatter in shape.

Could it be the first of steps Microsoft has taken to shift the brand recognition from Lumia to Surface?

Nokia X and XL Double Tap To Wake UP now working as expected

Most Nokia Lumia devices come with double tap to wake up functionality but it does not work as expected in the Nokia’s Android phones, X and XL. The reason is X and XL use Vibrator and Accelerometer to implement Double Tap on these devices.

This is same for the Nokia 5XX series so it does not work as expected. You must tap really hard and at other times even hitting the phone at its back would wake it up.
