LG G5-A phone that's so different,yet so similar..

 At MWC 2016,LG announced the launch of its flagship for this year-LG G5.This is a huge shift of strategy for LG,this time.The previous G series phones from LG were primarily built out of plastic,which was practical choice but which often made it look cheaper as compared to its peers from the Samsung and the Apple.The G5,however,is a radical change as it features a full metallic build,giving it a premium look,which the previous G phones were somewhat lacking.
Not only the build,LG is made several interesting changes like the dual cameras at back(a 16+8 mp setup),which enables the G5 to capture a 135 degree wide view which is industry leading,ofcourse.The screen is a 5.2 inch quad hd ips panel with always on display,which lg claims to be more power efficient compared to the amoled panels.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge-A good mix of old and new 'innovations' by Sammy

After a month full of leaks and rumours,the flagship twins from Samsung finally arrive.Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are not a huge improvement over their predecessors in terms of their design language.Samsung is taking the "why fix it if it ain't broke" approach as the design on the previous S series phones were pretty good.Other than that,Samsung has made a few incremental improvements in cameras and of course,the performance along with bringing back some of the popular features. So,what's new? Samsung has 'innovated' by going back in time and bringing back features like expandable storage along with IP68 dust and water resistance capability ala Samsung Galaxy S5.Bringing back the expandable storage options,might have brought smiles on the faces of the reviewers and fans alike who were quite disappointed by the lack of sd card support in their predecessors.The great thing is that Samsung has brought these utility features without compromising on th...

Google sides US and bans Huawei

Google has just released a statement that they will be banning Huawei's license to use Android immediately as it must compile to US Laws. This is a hugh blow to the Chinese smartphone maker which has already become the 3rd largest smartphone maker in the world, on the back of some solid smartphones.  Speaking to  Reuters , a Google spokesperson confirmed that “Google Play and the security protections from Google Play Protect will continue to function on existing Huawei devices.” This means while the current smartphones should receive updates, the future is surely uncertain for Huawei. The decision might leave Huawei to choose Open source version of Android, called AOSP for its devices which is devoid of any google sevices and which usually recieves the security updates much later than Android. Huawei might also contemplate launching its own OS, incase matters get worse.  It is very sad to see politics getting involved in tech industry. Other famed compa...

LeEco(or Letv as it was formally called) launched its first two smartphones in India in the beginning of February this year. Some people may look at it as just another Chinese company trying to make inroads in India but, to be frank LeEco is slightly different as it is one of the first or maybe only Chinese company to follow the concept of creating an ecosystem of products called-Le Ecosystem(hence,the name change). Now coming to the smartphone i.e the Le 1s,company seems to have created quite a good product to performance ratio with its Inr 10,999 price tag,here in India. So,let's find out if it is any good. Build & Design As far as build goes I can quite easily say that it's one of the first smartphones in India to sport a metallic unibody build at a budget price. Yes,now there are phones like the Huawei honor 5x and the Redmi Note 3 but this one seems to be the best as far as build goes. In design department,LeEco further stamps its authority with a symmetrically d...
