OnePlus 3- Finally a true 'Flagship Killer'.

After weeks of rumours and leaks, OnePlus 3 is now officially announced and available.True to its core of offering flagship specs at affordable prices, OnePlus has launched OnePlus 3 featuring flagship like specs at just $399 unlocked(or ₹27999). This time around the deal is even sweeter, the phone is available for direct purchase without the annoying invite system.



Design:
The design is a complete overhaul as the company has finally ditched its sandstone texture backing, replacing it with an all metallic unibody, which looks beautiful and well built but lacks originality as the design borrows from some HTC and Samsung phones that were released before it.
Its not a bad thing because imitation is the best form of flattery and even a company like Apple imitates.



Specs:
Specs wise, it's up there with the likes of Samsung Galaxy S7 or the HTC 10 for the most part and even manages to outperform them in a few areas:

  • 5.5 inch 1080p 'Optic' Amoled Display
  • 2.2 Ghz Snapdragon 820 processor 
  • 6gb RAM
  • 16mp rare camera with OIS coupled with 8mp Front Camera 
  • 3000mAh battery with 'Dash' Charging ( 0% to 60% in 30 minutes)
  • Dual Sim LTE (Not on CDMA networks)
Bottomline:
Most of the problems that Oneplus had with their past smartphones have now been resolved 
  • OnePlus has had time for bug fixes and performance improvement of Oxygen Os. Hence, it's now more stable and reliable than ever before.
  • The 16mp back camera looks solid on paper as it now comes with features like OIS, PDAF and EIS. Serious photographers will love the inclusion of manual mode and RAW image support.
  • OnePlus also has something in store for developers. They have released the device tree and kernel source on the launch day itself, which will enable faster development for OnePlus 3. Also, OnePlus won't void your warranty for rooting your OnePlus 3.
To conclude it, OnePlus 3 seems to be the best 'Practical' flashship smartphone that money can buy at this point of time.

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...

LeEco Le 1s Review - After a month's use

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...
