Lava Iris 406q Review

Lava_iris_406q_reviewLava Iris 406Q is one of those smartphones that anyone could miss easily. Not because it is small in size but because it is made b Lava. Not a well known company in India. Even its price is less than most of the phones available with similar specs. There is no phone literally available below 7,000 Rupees in the market which has 1GB of RAM and Quadcore Cortex A7 processor with Adreno 302GPU, Snapdragon chipset. The specs of this phone looks to good to be true, but they are. It is not perfect though, it has some flaws, like its camera. I am going tell you about all of that and more in this review.

Htc Desire 310 Short & Sweet Review

Htc_desire_310_review_1Htc desire 310 left a lot of things to desire. It’s like Htc has taken the name literally. There’s not a lot to write about this phone. As it has no special features, actually apart from its price it has nothing that i can call special. I thought it’s special because this phone might have been the first from Htc to have 1GB RAM with a really affordable price. But i am proven wrong. Thanks snapdeal partially for that. They stated specs wrong in their description of the phone. As a result of that i am stuck with a phone with 512MB RAM.

Htc Desire 310 Benchmark & Gaming Performance

Htc_desire_310_benchmarkHtc desire 310 is a very average phone, everything about it shouts average, from its processor to its camera. But in the benchmark tests it performed a little above than average or you can also say a little better than what you would expect from a phone under this price range. Some of the benchmark tests like T-rex test of geekbench test didn’t even start. The reason it stated for not being able to run the test was not the weak CPU or GPU but its lack of RAM. As this phone has only 512MB RAM which acts as a bottleneck for demanding games and benchmark tests.

Htc Desire 310 Unboxed

Htc_desire_310When i first saw this phone and its price online, i was pretty excited. I was thinking, finally HTC has made an affordable budget phone worth checking out. Unlike its previous budget offerings HTC Wildfire. This phone has most of the things right, a 1.3 Ghz quadcore processor (Cortex A7), a dual core GPU (Mali 400MP2), Mediatek MTK 6582 chipset. 5 Megapixel camera although without flash but with full HD recording, 2,000 mAh battery. All of that and HTC build quality for only rupees 11,000 Rupees, approx $182. So then, what’s the problem? Well the problem is not exactly HTC’s here but still it’s a problem.

Micromax Mad Review

Micromax Mad ReviewMicromax Mad is available in Indian market for a price of around 8,500 Rupees. For that price you will get a Broadcomm chipset with Quadcore CPU and Videocore IV HW GPU. You will get two 5 megapixel camera, yes not one but two. The only difference is front one doesn’t have a LED flash. You will get a 4.5 inch IPS display with decent viewing angles. It is a dual sim phone. The question is, what does this phone has that makes it different from other phones? Well, it has an app called “Mad App”, Mad here stands for ‘Mad about ads’. I wouldn’t call you ‘MAD’ but if you have no problem watching 1 or 2 ads every time before you make a call

Micromax Mad Gaming & Benchmark

Micromax Mad benchmarkBenchmark results of Micromax Mad surprised me, if not all, at least some did. For instance in one benchmark it scored higher than Samsung Galaxy S2, which is still nowhere near this price in the market. That benchmark was Antutu by the way. In 3DMark which is mainly a gaming and GPU related benchmark, it was refusing to even run because the device don’t even have 1GB RAM, which is required to run the benchmark properly but it ran anyway and it performed well below average, the average frame rate was below 20. So, can’t call it good. But all in all the overall benchmark performance was neutral.
