HTC Desire 516 Review

HTC Desire 516 reviewAs 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.

HTC Desire 516 Benchmark & Gaming Performance

HTC desire 516 benchmark performance (6)Phones with Snapdragon 200 chipsets either performs bad or very bad in benchmarks test. And that is understandable ’cause it’s a entry level chipset after all but HTC Desire 516 actually performed better with the same chipset. How? Software optimizations done by HTC over Android 4.3 Jellybean. The OS runs buttery smooth most of the time. Along with optimization HTC has also put some nasty restrictions too, but that i am going to leave for the gaming section.

Micromax Canvas Gold A300 Review

Micromax canvas gold a300 (1)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.

HTC Desire 516 Unboxing

HTC Desire 516 has very minimal specs. Very minimal. Specs you could find in most of the android phones below 10,000 Rupees(Approx $170). But it is still going to sell very well, you know why? Three things. The name HTC, it’s price, and 5 inch screen. If you think i am just blabbering nonsense and my theory has no base. I am just going say, look at the success of Nokia XL, you know what’s the reason of its success? It’s 5 inch screen, the price and ofcourse Nokia’s name.

Micromax Canvas Gold A300 Benchmark & Gaming Performance

Since Micromax Canvas Gold A300 has an octa core processor and that too clocked at 2GHz. It is supposed to perform good in benchmarks. Looking at the price it’s available at in the market. I would call it respectable. In one particular benchmark though. The GFX bench/Geekbench, it didn’t perform well. But then again it was competing with pretty high end phones in that benchmark. It still tried its best. The phone gets a warm even while running benchmarks because benchmark tests that run at full HD resolution use more resouces. Hence, more heat.

Micromax Canvas Gold A300 Unboxing

While i was unboxing Micromax Canvas Gold A300, it felt like i was unboxing a wedding present. I even said that in the video. The packaging is so nicely done. You can see the ‘gold’ theme everywhere. On thing i didn’t like is the way specs are written on the back. It’s written in very tiny letters. You won’t even notice it. The first thing, i noticed, after the unboxing it is the big beautiful 5.5 inches full HD display.

HTC Desire 516 or Blackberry Z3

HTC DESIRE 516 OR BLACKBERRY Z3
One more choice, you can buy both. But the price at which they are available at. I don’t think the companies are aiming for people whom can buy both. Anyway, The major difference between both these phones is of the OS. HTC Desire 516 runs on Android while Blackberry Z3 runs on god-knows-what. Oh yes, after a quick Google search now i know. It runs on something called Blackberry OS. And that is the main problem with Blackberry now a days. It is becoming obsolete.
