XOLO Q900 Video Review

The XOLO Q900 is another 1.2GHz quad core powered handset with a smaller screen of 4.7 inches with HD resolution. It is with the same hardware that we have seen on lava Iris 504q and the Micromax canvas A116 HD.

The XOLO Q900 looks beautiful thanks to the glossy white finish and the silver lining that surrounding the front screen. The build quality is very good that gives a premium look. The handset weight is 156 grams with battery, thickness is 10.16mm, breadth is 70.46mm and length is 137.34mm.

The 4.7 inch TFT screen is not scratch resistant and hence a screen guard is included in the box. Screen resolution is 1280×720 pixels and viewing angles are good. There is accelerometer, light, proximity, orientation and magnetic sensors.

The dot matrix is easily visible on the handset. If you tilt the handset a little bit in switched off mode you can see many dots (matrix). This is normal – this on screen dot matrix was reported on many other handsets. The dots are also visible when you are viewing the screen with a white background – it looks like dust particles.

There is 1GB RAM and 4GB internal storage. Of the 4GB storage 1.80GB is allocated as phone storage and 0.98GB as storage for apps. Of the 1GB RAM, 584MB is available (on the first boot after Unboxing). There is micro SD card slot that supports 32GB storage. Most of the apps / games can be installed on the external storage. OTG is not supported.

The Q900 comes with 8MP rear camera with flash. The camera quality is pretty good. It can record 1080p videos. There is front camera too of 2MP resolution. The handset can play full HD videos. The 1800 mAh battery gives talk time of up to 10 hours this is what the company claims. I used the handset for about 31 minutes (for download and ran the entire benchmark test) the battery dropped by 13% and temperature increased from 34 to 44 degree. I played some games for about 13 minutes – the battery dropped by 6%.

Micromax Canvas Turbo A250 Video Review

The Micromax Canvas Turbo A250 is powered by MediaTek turbo processor and sports a 5 inch screen with FHD resolution. Key features are 2GB RAM, 16GB storage and 13MP camera. The Micromax A250 is priced at under Rs. 20,000.





The Box packing is similar to the Micromax Canvas 4. However the handset looks different and does not really resembles the Canvas 4. The SAR value is 0.39 W/kg@1g head and 0.75 W/kg @ 1g body. Inside the box you will find the handset, earphone, charger, data cable, user manual, warranty statement, download goodies, ifloat app manual and SIM ejector. Screen guard is not included and we do not know if the screen comes with some added protection – it’s not mentioned anywhere.

The handset looks pretty cool, it’s made of aluminum and is light weight. I got the blue colored handset. The battery compartment is sealed and there are no visible options to remove it – this means you can get it serviced only from the service centre.

Micromax Canvas Turbo A250 weighs about 137 grams a little lighter than the Canvas Magnus A117. Thickness is 8.74mm, breadth 71.31mm and the length is 142.85mm.

Rear side is with matte finish, on the top side you will find the micro USB port, on the bottom the 3.5mm audio jack with mic, on the right side there is power / lock button and volume rockers and on the left there are the two Micro SIM slots. You need to use the SIM ejector pin to eject the micro SIM slots.

On the rear there is speaker out and 13MP rear auto focus camera with LED flash. The handset does come with accelerometer, light, magnetic, gyro and proximity sensors. Build quality is excellent and handset gives a pretty impressive look.

IPS Screen is 5 inches supporting resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. It’s with CGS technology (Continuous Grain Silicon Screen). Indoors in auto brightness mode the display looked sharp with vivid colors. I could also view the screen comfortably under direct sunlight. The colors reproduction looked good and viewing angles were very good. Touch is smooth and responsive. There is LED notification.

The Micromax A250 comes with 2GB onboard RAM of which 1.5GB is available and of the 16GB built in storage 0.98 is assigned for apps (883MB free) and 12GB as internal SD storage. There is no external micro SD card slot, so you are left with 12GB of usage space only. However OTG is supported, you can connect your pendrive and access its contents using the OTG cable. A250 runs on Android 4.2.1 with OTA (Over the Air updates).

I tried the Asphalt 7, the game play looked smooth but was not able to control the car properly probably cause of low FPS. The Dead Trigger 2 worked well but you can clearly feel the frame drop. The game play was smoother on the Micromax A117.If you are too much into gaming, Magnus A117 will be a better choice than Turbo A250.

There is 13MP rear AF camera with flash and front camera of 5MP resolution. The camera quality is as good as seen on the Micromax A117. Low light photography is also pretty decent. The handset can record full HD videos at 30fps and no doubt can play full HD videos with ease.

The camera comes with some enhanced features like GIF animation,3D panorama and remove objects. GIF Animation records a small video of few seconds and then allows user to animate particular area on the screen. The other area will show still image and the particular area selected will be running the video (animated effect), that’s how the GIF animation is created.

Remove Object also works on the same principle. It shoots several images and then allows users to merge the image to create a new image with most unwanted object removed. If you want to shoot a particular subject or an object but there is a lot of activity around –people moving, you can use the remove object feature. This will shoot several images and you can then remove unwanted people (by merging specific area of the images) and get a clear shot.

I had no issues with3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Did not check the GPS but getting a lock within 30 seconds should not be an issue make sure you enabled EPO / EPO downloads and A-GPS. Speaker sound is loud (average) and clear.

Just like on the Micromax A117, the Micromax A250 also has the BBM link from where you can download the BlackBerry Messenger app. There are several gesture based control that you can setup (check video review).

iFloat Tray: This apps when launched shows a dedicated icon on the screen, you can place it anywhere, when you tap the icon you get quick access to certain apps.

The handset does get heated up and when I was outdoor shooting sample images (in sunlight) the temperature rose to 48 degree. This is normal with many handsets. Handset temperature is not only related to the hardware processing but also the environment.

There is built in non-removable battery of 2000 mAh capacity. As per Micromax the battery gives talktime of up to 7 hours. I used the handset for 23 minutes running benchmark apps and battery dropped by 13% and temp rose from 31 to 38 degree. I played some games for 10 minutes, battery dropped by 7% and temperature rose from 32 to 40 degree.


Verdict

The handset has got a premium look; it’s with an aluminum body and loaded with powerful hardware stuffs, unfortunately the FHD resolution lowers the FPS that affects the overall gaming experience. The Asphalt 7 game did not run as smoothly as expected.

Apart from this there are no issues. The screen looks great and viewable under direct sunlight. The camera quality is good. There is 2GB RAM and limited storage of 16GB. This handset is priced at Rs. 19,999 you can get it for under Rs. 19,500.

Another handset XOLO Q1000s is already available in the market for quite some time, it is with same hardware but HD screen, 1GB RAM and 2500 mAh battery it is currently priced at Rs. 16,999. A tough choice to make cause the Micromax Canvas Magnus A117 seems a better and cheaper option, if you exclude the RAM and FHD part.

• 5 MP Secondary Camera
• 1.5 GHz MediaTek MT 6589T Quad Core Processor
• 13 MP Primary Camera

Micromax Canvas Fun A63 Video Review

The Micromax A63 from the Canvas Fun series is a downgraded version of Micromax Canvas Fun A74. This dual SIM handset runs on Android 4.2 and is powered by 1.3GHz dual core processor. It houses a 4 inch touch screen, supports 3G and is priced at Rs. 6,399.


You will find the Micromax Canvas Fun A63, earphone, 1500 mAh removable battery, screen guard, warranty card, data cable, power adapter and user guide. The SAR value is 0.70 W/kg @1g head and 1.25W/kg @ 1g body.

The handset has got a good build quality; rear side is with matte finish. The power button is placed on the left, volume rockers on the right, 3.5mm audio jack and micro USB port on the top. This is a dual SIM handset and SIM slot 1 supports 3G.

Micromax A63 is light weight at 122 grams. Thickness is 11.84mm, breadth 65.79mm and length is 124.37mm. Screen is 4 inches (TFT) supporting WVGA – 800×480 pixels resolution with 16M colors. Touch is responsive, smooth and overall a lag free experience. Viewing angles are okay – not really that good. The A63 runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS. There is software update option from Micromax (OTA updates). There are two sensors accelerometer and proximity sensors.







Micromax Canvas Fun A63 comes loaded with 512MB RAM and 4Gigs of internal storage. Of 512MB RAM 230 MB is free and of 4GB storage, 1.1GB is assigned for apps and 1.12GB as phone storage. Micro SD slot is present that can house 32GB cards. Apps can be installed on external storage. OTG is not supported.

The MMX A63 houses a 1.3GHz MT6572 chipset (cortex A7) with Mali 400 MP GPU, it’s the same hardware as found on Micromax A74, Xolo A500S. The performance is good. Gaming is not that smooth as seen on A74 and A500S, there is a mild lag – check the video review. Modern combat 4 and Asphalt 7 did not show up on Google Play.

Don’t expect too much from the camera its fixed focus with 2MP resolution and LED flash that hardly works (though it does flash). There is front VGA camera too for video calls. Check the sample images shot using the A63 handset plus the 720p video sample. The still picture quality is okay and video at 720p with 12fps is no good. Full HD video playback is possible using MX player in H/W mode.

No issues with the sound, it loud and clear. This handset supports 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There is no built in GPS receiver, in fact the GPS option is missing in the Notification and quick settings options. You can use Wi-Fi and mobile networks to get the location but it’s not very accurate.

The 1500 mAh battery gives a talktime of up to 4 hours. I used the handset continuously for 30 minutes (running benchmarks, playing games etc) the battery dropped by 11% and temp rose to 37 degree.




Conclusion

The Micromax A63 competes with Xolo A500s and the Micromax Fun A74. All of these handsets use the same hardware with minor changes like screen size, design and battery. A63 is priced at Rs. 6,399 and does not come with built in GPS. The Xolo A500s is a better option for few hundred Rs. More or spend some extra and get the Micromax A74.

Key Features of Micromax Canvas FUN A63

• Android v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) OS
• 1.3 GHz Dual Core Processor
• 0.3 MP Secondary Camera
• 2 MP Primary Camera

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 comes in two variants the Note 3 SM-N9000 and SM-N9005. This is a Note 3 SM-N9005 review that comes powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Krait 400 processor running Android 4.3 with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage.

Taking the mundane into the realms of the outstanding, Samsung presents the Galaxy Note 3, a revolution in technology set in the palm of the hand. Beauty meets utility in this device that brings big changes to small workings of your life.

A quick peek just does not do justice to the 5.7 inch full HD Super AMOLED screen on the Note 3 that keeps your eyes hooked, making it so much easier to see what you are doing and upgrading everything that you do to full HD resolution.

Dynamic and modern-looking, the Galaxy Note 3 pulls together content from news, social media and everything else into one easy-on-the-eye My Magazine view.

Taking multitasking to a whole new level, the Multi-Window mode allows you to not just copy and paste from one window to another but also do things like chat with two different people at the same time, play a video while scrolling through the news and even browse the net while checking Facebook on the side. Similarly the Pen Window ensures that you can keep the calculator open in a small window while you are working out a budget for the month.

Intuitive to the extent of being almost magical, the device surprises you with its efficiency. Wave your hand over the device and get things done in a jiffy - the Samsung Note 3 comes with Air Gesture and Air View support that ensure that actions are made simpler and more effective, especially when you have to check for specific apps among dozens and operate hands free. Also, when you read, the sensors detect eye movement, scrolling accordingly and pausing when you look away with the Smart Scroll and Smart Pause.

Simplicity with extreme convenience takes precedence in the Note 3 that lets you play with a palette that brings five useful S Pen features to you in a platter. The Action Memo that recognizes handwriting and converts it into actionable links, alarms and such is one feature you could get used to. It also comes with Scrapbook to organize pieces automatically, the S Finder for quick access, a Pen Window to draw in and Screen Write to make quick annotations - the palette makes simple things fun.

The Note 3 from Samsung comes armed with a fabulous 13 megapixel primary camera with a high CRI LED flash that sports a BSI sensor to ensure that your clicks come out great even in low light conditions. With Image Stabilization, one of the first of its kind on such devices, the pictures you take on the Note 3 are ones that will be crisp and sharp, discounting shaky hands or less than perfect conditions.

The secondary camera does as much justice to your selfies and video chats with 2 megapixels at your disposal that comes with smart stabilization. With dual camera support, you can use both the cameras simultaneously when you take a picture, record or video call a loved one. What’s more, the Note 3 captures precious moments in full HD video and plays it back for you to relive life the way it is meant to be.

A powerful Octa core processor packed with all the strength of 1.9 Ghz Big-Core Quad and 1.3 Ghz Small-Core Quad processors back by 3 GB of RAM help you switch from an intensive gaming session to taking down a simple memo easily with excellent battery and power management.

Micromax Canvas Tab Video Review

The Micromax Canvas Tab P650 is here to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The P650 is loaded with 1.2GHz quad core processor running 4.2 Jelly Bean OS with 1GB RAM and 16GB storage. This tablet is priced at under Rs. 16,500 is it worth it, find out.

The box looks attractive and is quite heavy. The Sar value is mentioned on the box – 1.00 W/Kg@1gm head and 1.49 W/kg@1gm body. Inside you will find the tablet attached with a good quality snap cover. Other accessories included are power adapter, data cable, earphone and warranty statement / user manual.

The Micromax Canvas Tab P650 tablet weight is 448 grams without snap cover, the weight with snap cover is over 500 grams (585 grams). Tab is 9.55mm thick. The P650 has got curved edges and available in blue and white (sliver) colors. The one that I used for the review is shiny silver color with matte finish and the snap cover is white color.

The snap cover is something that you might have seen with the Apple iPad. You can fold it and use it as a stand, check the review video. The cover comes with a plastic case – the tablet is clipped in. Volume rockers are placed on the right side along with micro USB port and a single SIM slot that houses a normal SIM. This tablet supports 3G with phone functionality. The power button, 3.5mm audio jack and micro USB port is placed on the top.

There is no dedicated buttons on the front panel, when you power on the tablet you will get the onscreen buttons. There is in call speaker and front camera of 2MP resolution. The Build quality and finishing is very good, though the tab feels a bit heavy.

The Micromax Canvas Tab P650 runs on Android 4.2.1 and sports an 8 inch screen with 1024×658 pixels with 16M colors, but because of the absence of dedicated navigation buttons the usable screen resolution is 976×768 pixels.There are accelerometer, orientation and magnetic sensors. The magnetic sensor is indeed present and may sound weird as most of the Micromax handsets never come with this particular sensor.

RAM is 1GB of which 650 MB is available and of the 16GB storage 1.73 GB is allocated for apps (1.59GB free) and 10.95GB as USB storage (it’s a tab and hence they used the word USB storage instead of phone storage). There is micro SD card slot that supports 32GB card. You can install / move apps on external storage. I tried connecting a pen drive using OTG cable, and it doesn’t work. OTG not supported.

The rear auto focus camera is 5MP resolution without LED flash. Still image long shots are okay and close ups are good. The camera can record videos in 1080p resolution at 30fps the video quality is also good. There is a 2MP front camera, its fixed focus. Check out the samples and video at the end.5MP Auto Focus camera on Micromax Canvas Tab p650.I tried Dead Trigger in high graphics mode and Asphalt 7, both these games worked smoothly without any issues. The games got installed on the external SD card. I then tried the MC4 (Modern combat 4) that unfortunately did not work.

There is built in 3G, you can use the handset as a phone, either via Bluetooth, earphone or simply place the in-call speaker near the ear and talk (this might look odd cause of the size). 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth worked well. I did not get the time to check the GPS, but I think you should get a lock within 30 seconds easily. Speaker volume is much louder and clear.The 4800 mAh Li-ion battery gives a talk-time of up to 10 hours and usage time of up to 5 hours. I played some games for about 16 minutes and battery level dropped to 6% and temp rose by 2 degrees, the max temp was 35 degrees.

Conclusion
The MMX Canvas Tab competes with Samsung Galaxy tab. If you compare it with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (T211) (with 8GB and 3G), there is much more that the P650 is offering, the price is near about the same. It will be interesting to see what Xolo Tegra Note will be priced at.Of course Canvas Tab P650 is a better option specs wise but brand wise Samsung still rules. Nevertheless Canvas Tab is a good option with snap cover.

Oppo mobiles have announced Oppo N1 the world’s first smartphone with rotating camera. Oppo is a well known premium brand in China. The smart phone comes with 5.9 inch screen but the key feature is the rotating camera with a 206 degree rotation.

Oppo N1 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon (600) quad core processor clocked at 1.7GHz with Adreno 320 GPU. The handset weighs 213 grams with a 9mm thickness. N1 sails on Android 4.2 with 2GB RAM and optional 16 or 32 GB storage. N1 seems like a single SIM handset.

The IPS screen of capacitive nature is 5.9 inches supporting FHD (1920×1080 pixels) resolution (16M colors). There is just one camera of 13MP resolution with dual mode LED. The same camera can be used as a front camera, by simply rotating it.

There are two more exiting and new features apart from the rotating camera and that is O-Touch and O-Click. There is a rear touch panel that can also be used to scroll, tap, and take pictures. Say if you are browsing a website you can simply slide the finger on the back side top or down to scroll through the web page. There is another feature called the O-Click that gives you an option to control the Camera remotely or trigger an alarm to find your missing phone (up to 50 meters).

Other features are 3G, Wi-Fi (5G), GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, OTG support, micro USB and 3.5mm audio jack. The battery is of a good 3610 mAh capacity. Pricing details are not yet known. It is highly unlikely that OPPO will officially launch this in India, but getting any Oppo device in India is still a distant dream.





World’s First Rotating Camera Smartphone OPPO was the first in the world to release a 13-megapixel camera smartphone. With the N1, we are once again realizing new possibilities in smartphone photography. Introducing the world’s first smartphone with a rotating camera.The revolutionary rotating camera features a 206° rotation, and will securely lock at any angle. No matter what angle you choose, having just one amazing camera means that front facing shots are finally just as good as back facing shots.

The latest generation stacked CMOS sensor, upgraded type 1/3.06 imaging module and f/2.0 wide aperture lets more light in, so you can take great photos even in dark environments.Not satisfied with what was available, we partnered with the leading optics companies to tailor make our own image-processing solution for improved white balance, exposure and focus. No matter the lighting condition, the N1 camera captures astonishing clarity and detail.

O-Touch Panel O-Touch is an entirely new way of using your smartphone. A 12 cm2 rear touch panel makes one handed use for the large OPPO N1 screen comfortable and easy. With O-Touch you can scroll, tap, or snap photos – all without your fingers blocking the display.
