Micromax Unite 2 seems like a pretty normal phone. When you look at it for the first time but it’s not that normal. Its secrets resides in what is inside the phone. Even i was thinking like that when i was unboxing the phone. But when i used it. It became clear what software optimization and a decent CPU/GPU combination can do to a 7,000 Rupees phones. I am surprised and you will be surprised too when you will see its gaming performance.
Category: Unboxing
Nokia XL Unboxed
If there is a phone in this world that has the most accurate name out of all. It’s this Nokia XL. It totally deserve that name. And that is not a good thing. I can understand that its name is derived from Nokia X’ name. Its little brother. But that doesn’t mean you make a phone this big! Seriously. Its bezels are so big. It’s not at all comfortable to hold. I think the aspect ratio of Nokia XL’ screen is 4:3 otherwise there’s no reason of the phone to be this wide.
Moto E Unboxed
While i was unboxing the Motorola Moto E, i was quite angry because i might be first person to order the phone at midnight that day. I literally ordered it at 12:07 AM. Don’t believe me? Look at the screenshot below. But still, I received it today 17th of may, 2014. Why? the curse of living in second or third tier city. Flipkart don’t provide one day delivery in such cities.
Sony Xperia M2 Unboxed
Sony Xperia M2 is available in Indian market for around 20,000 Rupees(approx $330). The point is, does it worth the price? If you look at the specs, it looks like just another smartphone with Quadcore processor and 1GB RAM. It has the exact same chipset as Moto G and Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 and lot others. In terms of GPU it has same GPU that Xperia M possesses, a phone that is available for around half of this phone’s price. I don’t even know what’s so great about that chipset. It’s very inferior especially its GPU compared to Power VR SGX series and Mali 450. Even Xperia SP has better chipset than this phone and it’s available for much cheaper price than this.
Lava Iris 406Q Unboxed
Lava Iris 406Q. I bet only a few would’ve heard about this phone. It’s a shame though. It’s a phone that everyone should know of. If you are thinking why? Don’t worry, i am here to tell you why. First let me tell you about it specs, it has got a 4 inch display, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of ROM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chipset which has a combination of Quadcore Cortex A7 processor and Adreno 302 GPU. 5 MP rear facing camera with LED flash, VGA front camera. These are some of the specs that people mostly care about when they buy a phone.
Htc Desire 310 Unboxed
When 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 Canvas Knight is the first octa core phone from Micromax. Honestly i bought this phone just to satisfy that itch of using an octa core phone. After all they are all the rage these days. It runs on Mediatek MTK 6592 processor clocked at 2 Ghz(Maximum) and Mali 450MP GPU, unlike previous Mediateks chipsets that had Power VR SGX GPUs which was a better choice in my opinion. But, anyway who cares about my opinion. The chipset seems quite powerful theoretically but only the real world tests will tell us about its potential.
