As you people may have already know by now that HTC Desire 516 is the cheapest smartphone from HTC with a 5 inch screen. It also has a quadcore processor by the way. It looks good, isn’t it? Just stick a quadcore moniker with a phone and it suddenly becomes desirable. The people that buy these phones don’t even know what they are buying. They just fall for the advertising. But then again, it’s all business. You can’t blame anybody but yourself.
With Micromax Canvas Knight A350 the main problem was proper software optimization. But Micromax Canvas Gold A300 comes with the latest version of Android i.e, Android 4.4.2 and the same processor 2GHz octa core Cortex A7 that Canvas Knight came with. Then what is the problem? Well, the problem is. Kitkat is actually not optimized to run on an octa core processor efficiently. Kitkat is actually optimized for low end smartphones, especially for quad core smartphones. It’s not like this phone doesn’t perform well or anything. But oh Well, just read the review you will know what i am talking about.
This phone is a beast in the 7,000 Rupees category. Period. It is the best phone you could buy right now under 7,000 Rupees. Period. It can play high end games at high setting. Period. OK, now that’s a lot of periods. But, seriously this phone took me by surprise. That’s why i am typing like this. When i like a phone, it doesn’t matter what brand it is from or how much it is available at. I will praise it. It is one of the few phones that has the mixture of right specs in the right form factor at the right price.
Sony Xperia M2, the successor of Xperia M is not going to be as successful as Xperia M. Reason is simple. Its price. Sony doubled the price but forgot to double the performance of Xperia M2. For example it has the same GPU as Xperia M. Although they did double the internal storage from 4GB to 8GB and also the processor. Xperia M has dual core Cortex A7 CPU while Xperia M2 has Quadcore Cortex A7 CPU clocked at 1.2 GHz. Not high enough looking at the price point. Sony just became the second best smartphone selling company in India
The main USP of Micromax Canvas Knight is it’s octa core processor and its price point. It’s like Micromax has shoved everything it could into one phone and thought it will become a best seller. Although there’s nothing wrong with that, what’s wrong is the execution of idea. The idea of putting powerful internals in a phone was a very good idea but they forgot one crucial thing. They forgot to optimize the phone around that hardware by optimization i am talking about software portion of the phone here. I don’t think even Android itself is capable of taking full advantage of an octa core processor. But right now it is becoming thinking among the consumers that more is better. Well, sometimes it is, sometimes it’s not. In this case it’s not.
Micromax 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
I named Zen Ultrafone 701HD the ultra-performer cause it really is. Like i said in the review this device really surprised me
