It has a 5.5 inch display. In Redmi Y1 you will get a 16 -megapixel front camera with a selfie flash. There are capacitive touch buttons for navigation under the screen.

Xiaomi has used good quality plastic which gives a feeling of premium. The retail box of the handset is simple. The box has a SIM easeer tool, 10 watt charger and a micro-USB cable.

Xiaomi Redmi Y1’s specification and feature

To speed up this phone, the company has used Snapdragon 435 processor. Use of this processor Xiaomi Redmi 4 ,ReviewIt happened in. The highest clock speed of this octa-core processor is 1.4 GHz. Redmi Y1 has two variants. Comes with a 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. At the same time, the second is 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. Whether you choose any variant. You have the facility to use microSD cards up to 128 GB.

This phone has a 5.5 screen HD 720×1280 resolution. There is a 2.5D curved corning gorilla glass for protection. The important feature of Redmi Y1 is a 16 -megapixel front camera which is equipped with a selfie flash. There are very few phones with this variety of sensors on the front panel in the market. The front flash causes the phone and attractiveness. The rear part has a 13 -megapixel sensor with PDAF and F/2.2 aperture.

The battery of Redmi Y1 is 3080 mAh. This is much lower than the 4100 mAh battery of Xiaomi Redmi 4. For connectivity, Xiaomi Redmi Y1 has Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS, A-GPS and GLONASS. Accelerometer, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, electronic compass, hall sensor and gyroscope are part of it. Both SIM slots support 4G and VoLTE. But at one time only one SIM will be able to use 4G network.

We have got 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage variants for review. It was running on MIUI 9 beta based on Android Nougat. MIUI 9 has many new features. Early buyers of Redmi Y1 will get MUI 8. The stable version of MIUI 9 will be available in the coming weeks. The UI will be updated, but it is not clear whether Xiaomi will update the version of Android. If you have first used MIUI, then the updated user interface will be easily understood. But if you have used stock Android or any other skin, then it will take you some time to get into it. The interface of the settings has changed to some extent and the MIUI app also handles the permission in a different way. As soon as you get to know about this user interface, you will start MUII.

You will get new features like dual apps. With the help of this, you will be able to run two accounts simultaneously in an app like Parvhatsap and Facebook. The phone also has a reading mode which makes the color tone of the screen a little warm. Because of this, using the phone at night becomes more comfortable. Many apps of Xiaomi will also be installed in advance. Apart from this, the company also has its own store. There is a theme support, with the help of which you will be able to change the look of the phone in a few seconds. Please tell that we were using MIUI 9 beta. It is possible that things change a little in the final build.

Xiaomi Redmi Y1’s performance and camera

Given the trusted hardware, there is nothing shocking that the experience of using Redmi Y1 was good. After scanning fingerprint faster, the phone quickly unlocles. The apps are also launched fast. We liked the exact color reproduction and viewing angle of the screen of Redmi Y1. You can change the color temperature of the display according to your choice. The phone also handles multitasking firmly. Overall, we liked the jugalbandi of software and hardware in this phone of Xiaomi.

During testing, we played Clash Royal, Asafalt 8 and Prime Peex Games. The phone had no problem in running these games. The phone did not get very hot even while playing the game. However, we found that the battery consumed rapidly.

The battery of Redmi Y1 is average. The phone lasted for about a day in common use. Its battery lasted for 9 hours 45 minutes in our HD video loop test, which is much less than the 14 hours 20 minutes of Xiaomi Redmi 4. If you have a battery life priority for you, then Redmi 4 seems to be a better option.

The camera app of Redmi Y1 is only with other phones of Xiaomi. You have many modes to choose, such as Panorama, Beautiful and Manual. The app has a quick togle for HDR and flash, which is the feature of the work. The selfie camera has a quick togle for beauty mode. There was no shortage of details in the pictures taken in the light of daylight and Colors were also very accurate. The performance of the camera in low light is not very good. The phone is successful in keeping the noise levels low, but the photos are not good. You will need stable hands to take usable photos.

The most important feature of this new series of the company is selfie. We tested the front camera under different circumstances. Pictures came sharp in the light of the day, but they are seen in a lot of grains when zoom in. Selfie flash proves effective in low light. Portrait shots are good, but the grains are also seen in the background. Pictures get better due to beauty mode. But the front camera is not a thing.

Our decision

If seen, Redmi Y1, Xiaomi is the first attempt to make a selfie -centered phone. The hardware is reliable and is fully capable of most tasks. The MIUI 9 is quite smooth and the users will soon become accustomed to it. The camera performance is good in daylight, but average in low light. Talking about selfie, flash proves to be helpful and beauty mode also works to some extent. But the output is not always good.

The biggest challenge for Xiaomi Redmi Y1 is the company’s own Xiaomi Redmi 4 handset. The price of Redmi Y1 and Redmi 4 is almost equal and most of the hardware features are also the same. Redmi 4 has a metal body and a large battery is available in a more compact body. But Redmi Y1 has a large screen and also front flash. If selfie is most important for you, Redmi Y1 can be purchased. If not, Redmi 4 is still at the forefront of this price.

Flagship Me Mix Series And Android One with Me a series After launching in India, Xiaomi has introduced its new series. The new series is Redmi Y and this lineup will be known for a selfie -centric smartphone. One of the early handsets of this series is Xiaomi Redmi Y1. We spent some time with this device before being officially launched. How did we like this phone in the first glimpse? Let’s tell.

Xiaomi Redmi Y1 The glimpse of the Redmi series is clearly visible in the design. There is a 5.5 -inch HD display on the front panel with a protection of Corning Gorilla Glass. Onscreen capacitive buttons are not backlit for navigation. Xiaomi Redmi Y1 has a 16 -megapixel selfie camera equipped with a selfie flash. The rear has a 13 -megapixel rear camera with single LED flash. There is a fingerprint sensor in the middle of the rear. It was easy to access the fingerprint scanner. It unlocked the phone rapidly without any trouble. Company popular Xiaomi Redmi 4 And Redmi Note 4 Like this phone is not with metal unibody. The back is of plastic. Power and volume have found a place on the right and they are also made of plastic.

The micro-USB port is at the bottom of the phone and there are speaker grills on both sides. There will be a 3.5mm headphone socket, IR emitter and secondary microphone at the top. We found that the Redmi Y1 is good. Despite being 153 grams of weight, this phone does not feel strange in the hands. The sim tray has two nano sim slots. There is a separate slot for microSD card, this is a welcome step. Redmi Y1 has been made available in gold and dark gray colors.

Xiaomi Has used Snapdragon 435 processor in Redmi Y1. With this you have two options based on RAM and storage. A variant is of 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage which we have received for review. At the same time, the second variant is 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. Both variants will support microSD cards up to 128 GB. The 3000 mAh battery will work to bring life to the phone. Xiaomi has given a 10 watt charger with the phone.

The phone runs on Xiaomi’s custom MIUI 9 beta based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. We found that the new user interface is easy to use. It seems that the phone will keep supporting you without any trouble.
We also used Redmi Y1’s selfie camera and found that the app interface is easy to use. Beautiful mode for selfie camera is first active. Let us know that smart beauty mode is also somewhat effective.

It seems that Xiaomi wants to redeem the craze of selfie through its Redmi Y1. The phone has an effective selfie camera for a competent processor and most of the circumstances. If you are looking for a good selfie phone in the budget price, then also consider Xiaomi Redmi Y1 as a contender. We will soon come with a detailed review of this phone.

There is no doubt that all the smartphones were the same for some time. But this year some manufacturers launched new flagship phones with thin border and long -screen. Now, most manufacturers are using 18: 9 aspect ratios and buyers are also coming forward to buy a new look smartphone. Smartphone creator Oppo also its new Oppo f5 Has joined this list with. We got a chance to spend some time with this new variant at the time of official launch. Let us know what the phone looks at first glance.

The big display in the phone first attracts attention. The F5 has a 6 inch fullHD+ screen. The 18: 9 ratio screen fits in a 5.5 -inch screen size. The banks of the phone are thin and cannot say 152 grams of weight. Power and volume buttons can be easily accessible.

On the front, the phone has a earpiece and a 20 -megapixel selfie camera. The lower part of the phone is empty as the Oppo smartphone has on-screen navigation buttons.

The back part of the phone is curved near the edges, due to which the phone’s grip is convenient. Our gold review unit has a silver antenna line on the top and bottom, which looks good. The phone has a 16 -megapixel rear camera with aperture F/1.8. The sensor is slightly embossed but there is a metal ring around it that will protect the lens from some kind of scratch. Oppo has given loudspeakers, micro-USB port and 3.5mm socket on the bottom, while on the top is another microphone.

The phone has an octa-core MediaTek MT 6763T processor. The base variant of the Oppo F5 has 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage but the company has also launched 6 Jabi RAM/64 GB variants with high high price. The F5 is a dual SIM device and has two Nano-SIM slots and a microSD card slot. The phone does not come with hybrid design, so another SIM card will not have to be sacrificed to increase storage. There is a 3200 mAh non-removable battery to power the phone.

Talking about the software, the F5 runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat on which the ColorOS is given. UI is slightly different from stock Android. But if you have used Oppo phone before this, then there should be no problem.

We did not face any kind of trouble while using the phone, and we liked the processor and RAM jugalbandi. Oppo has used AI beauty technology to improve selfie taken from a 20 -megapixel sensor. We clicked some pictures from the camera and we liked the results.

As much time we told with Oppo F5, our experience was good. But the challenge for the phone is tough. If your priority is to take better selfie then you can buy a phone. Stay with Gadgets 360 for full review of Oppo F5.

The handset manufacturers have so far fiercely pledged to deliver cheap smartphones to every citizen of the country. But Reliance Jio’s Jio phone changed the entire game. The feature phone is once again in discussion. There is nothing shocking in this that now other companies are also experimenting with feature phones. The latest example is of BSNL and Micromax partnership. The two together made a new 4G feature phone Bharat-1 introduced It is so that fast internet can also be accessed.

Bsnl Micromax Bharat-1 I have nothing new. We will discuss about this in detail later. The most important question is what kind of benefit does the phone comes out of box comes? It costs Rs 2,200 and the sale will start from October 20. In its marketing, the company is saying that it will meet the needs of about 50 crore Indians.

Need affordable connectivity

BSNL Micromax India-1 phone can meet which needs? Let’s know about this. Rahul Sharma of Micromax believes that people do not want to pay only for voice calls. Now users also like to browse web without charge. For this, his company has partnered with government telecom company BSNL. In a monthly plan of just Rs 97, customers will get all these facilities with India-1.

To be honest, people also like to listen to songs, watch videos and stream live TV. What about these needs? Micromax says that it has partnered with companies like Zenga for this which will provide such content in the phone.

Now the question is that BSNL Micromax India-1 meets our expectations? There will be a straight and small answer, yes. If you want a long answer, yes on most occasions. We spent some time with this handset. At first glance, how did we like this phone? Let’s tell …

At first glance, Micromax Bharat-1 will remind you of the old-fashioned feature phone. It has the same old classic pneumric keypad. Whenever you click them, there is a stinging sound in the ears.

You will need to click on them again and again, because the 2.4-inch screen does not come with touch support. Plastic body does not feel premium. However, it does not seem too cheap. But as soon as you release the * button for a long time, things become fun.

There are many apps that Micromax is already installed in India-1. Opera mini mobile browser has been given for web browsing. We type some webpage addresses and they loaded well. You also get a YouTube app. Given the price being paid by customers for the handset, the display and voice quality will be considered as good.

India-1 does not run on Android. So there is no Google Play Store in the phone. If you are thinking about downloading WhatsApp, then this information is very important for you. You will be able to work like Facebook status updates, Wikipedia search and news reading through Opera Mini Browser.

Two camera sensors have also been given in this phone. The sensor of the rear camera is 2 megapixels. The front has a VGA camera. You will be able to take pictures according to expectations from them. To be honest, you would not like to take pictures from them until you have a second phone. In comparison, Jio phone takes better photos.

The phone also has an entertainment “FUN” app where you will get access to songs and videos. More than 100 live TVs can also be watched through this app. Due to limited time, we could not check the number of channels properly. On the other hand, the video went well on the phone. BSNL also supports the phone Bluetooth. With its help, users can share the file rapidly.

India-1 is supported for Wi-Fi. With its help, our test unit was connected to the Internet. By going to the settings, we also know that the phone will also work as Wi-Fi hotspots. We could not testing this feature, because there was no SIM card in the test device. We could not even make voice calls from it.

If the talk of sim has arisen, then tell that it will come with two SIM card slots. A representative of Micromax told us that if the user wants, the SIM card of another company can also be used instead of BSNL. You cannot do this in a live phone and it comes with a SIM card slot. If you are thinking about buying India-1 handset, then you can also use the SIM of Airtel or Reliance Jio instead of BSNL.

Micromax has given this phone to the ‘4G phone of India’. But the truth is also that BSNL does not give 4G network yet. If you want a web browsing in 4G speed, then you have to use the SIM of Airtel, Vodafone, Idea or Reliance Jio.

This rival handset of Jio phone has a 2000 mAh battery. Given the feature phone, this is a very big battery. According to us, the battery will easily last for two days in common use. During testing, we did not see any special disaster on battery life.

Should you buy India-1 phone?

It will depend on you only. If you have a smartphone then you will not want to buy India-1 handset. You will find that its camera does not take good pictures and the phone’s display is hardly liked to your eyes. The phone is very small and your experience can deteriorate due to keypad. But it is also clear that Micromax did not make this phone for a smartphone user.

India-1 is designed for 50 crore Indians who cannot buy smartphones, or data plan is very expensive. The phone has been introduced for old men, children and those who have not yet got a chance to use the smartphone. Micromax will be a deal of India-1 profit for such people, also in 3G speed of BSNL.

Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has launched many great handsets in recent times. Launched this year only Honor 8 Pro ,Review) Directly OnePlus 5 Gave a strong challenge. Given the price, its specification and feature impressed us. Now the smartphone market is getting an inclination towards handsets with 18: 9 aspect ratios. The company has also claimed its claim with Honor 9i. To strengthen the claim, the phone also has four cameras, which is a unique feature in itself. On paper, its specifications look strong. Is the handset also strong in common use? We will answer you this question.

Honor 9i Design

If you entice thin bezel and big display phones, then you will also like Honor 9i. It has a large 5.9 inch screen with it very thin. Do not be afraid of big screen size. Due to 18: 9 aspect ratio, this phone gives a feeling of a 5.5 inch screen with 16: 9 aspect ratio in the hands. Thin bezel display also means that the earpiece, sensor and front camera have found a place on the side. The fingerprint scanner is on the back. The front panel is very clean.
As soon as you take the phone in your hands. Its curved edges give a good feeling in the hands. Causes of metal unibody Honor 9i It also seems strong. The black finish of our review unit is very beautiful, but it is like a magnet for fingers. The phone also slips in the hands. In such a situation, you will have to take precaution. The dual camera module on the rear portion is bulging. The good thing is that it comes with a metal rim to protect against scratch. Honor has placed LED flash, camera and fingerprint sensor on the back. The fingerprint sensor is slightly above our choice. In reaching this, we had to stretch our index finger a little.

Honor 9i has a micro-USB port for charging and data transfer. There is also loudspeaker with headphone jack on the lower back. In addition to the phone in the retail box, you will also get earphones, plastic covers and 10 watts of charger.

Honor 9i’s specification and software

The first thing that will draw your attention is its display. Honor 9i has a 5.9 -inch fullview screen. It is fullhd+ resolution (1080×2160 pixels). Viewing angles are good, but we should have been colors and diverse according to us. You can control the color temperature, but the contrast cannot be increased. The display for indoor is sufficiently bright, but the situation changes in outdoor.

Honor has given four cameras in this phone. The primary sensors of the rear and front panel are of 16 and 13 megapixels respectively. They have a 2 -megapixel secondary sensor on both sides, which will be used to capture depth information. This means that you will be able to take photos in portrait mode from both camera setup. There is an LED flash on the rear and a soft selfie flash on the front panel.

Talking about hardware, Hawawei Kirin is 659 chipset in Honor 9i. The most clock speed of the processor is 2.36 GHz. You will get 64 GB storage with 4 GB RAM. There is also an option to increase storage due to hybrid dual sim design. But you have to choose one of the second Nano SIM or one of the microSD cards up to 128 GB. Honor has given a 3340 mAh battery in this phone, which is slightly larger than the average.

Talking about software, you will get EMUI 5.1 based on Android Nougat. Huawei has used its visual style. Some options of the Settings app have been revised, but it will not take you a lot of time to introduce it. Honor has given some unique gestures that can be activated with fingers. If you knock on the screen twice, the phone will take the screenshot. Screen recording will begin if you knock from the joint of two finger. You also have the option to launch the app by writing letters on the screen. We found some of these features very effective during review.

We found that the fullview display is not made to use with one hand. It is not easy to access the top corner. The phone also has a one -handed mode which makes the UI small. You can activate it by swiping it on the navigation button. Another problem with 18: 9 display is that not all apps are made for it yet. You can run these apps with black patch on the bottom of the screen. You also have the option to score some apps. You will also get many unwanted apps.

Honor 9i Performance, Battery Life and Camera

The performance of Honor 9i is similar to other devices of this price. The phone is not hot in common use. But the situation changes during gaming. You would like watching videos and playing games on big screen. We played gams like Real Racing 3, Prime Pix and Clash Royal, so that the performance of Honor 9I can be checked. Rear Racing 3 and Prime Pix worked well. But the Clash Royal went a little zoom. It was coming to sliced ​​on the edges. We did not get the option to run the game in 16: 9. But we gradually became accustomed to it.

We also found that battery consumption is faster during gaming. In such a situation, while playing the game, you will suggest you to keep an eye on the battery level. If the handset is not doing powerful task, it manages the power well. The battery in common use lasted for about a day. But playing games and watching videos affect battery life a lot. In our HD video loop test, the phone battery lasted for 8 hours 54 minutes, which is not much better than other smartphones. You can reduce battery consumption by turning on the power saver mode in the phone. But there is disappointment due to lack of fast charging support.

Paper is the most important feature camera of Honor 9i. As soon as you launch the camera app, you will find that the interface is very simple. You get control for flash, aperture mode, moving picture mode and portrait mode. The moving picture feature is similar to live photos of iOS. With its help, you are able to capture a small clip with pictures. You can get the option of different shooting mode by swiping the right side on the default screen. Apart from HDR, Panorama and video, you will also get a Pro mode for photos and videos. There is also an option to download more mode with it.

Default mode works well for the photo. The 16 -megapixel camera captures photos with details in landscape and macrose shot. The 2 megapixel secondary camera helps some extent to separate the subject and background in wide aperture mode. But it seems that the background is through staining software. Selfie also has Bokeh mode. We found that the performance of the selfie camera was better than the rear camera. You will also get a beautification mode.

The camera performance is average in low light. The phone manages to keep the level of noise low. But the photos become more sharp due to which the details decrease. Selfie was better in low light and credit will go to selfie flash. With the front and rear camera of Honor 9i, you will be able to record 1080 pixels videos. While recording the video from the front camera, you will get the option of beautification. But the output will be controlled only up to 720 pixels.

Our decision

It is clear that now companies are moving towards 18: 9 aspect ratios. And this feature was not limited to the flagship device just. Honor 9i is another affordable option for customers.

Honor 9i shows good coordination between feature and price. LG Q6 Compared to you get a fingerprint sensor and Vivo v7+ ,Review) Display with 1080 pixels resolution compared to. The processor for daily use is fully capable. Software is also easy to use. However, the performance of the camera and battery could have been better.

If you give importance to the look more than performance, then Honor 9 is slightly different from the other smartphone and also makes its price fair. On the other hand, if you are looking for a reliable performance Xiaomi mi a1 ,Review) And Moto G5s Plus ,Review) There are good options.

The Honor 9I is the latest device in the category less than Rs 20,000 in the Indian market. The phone has many pleasures such as four cameras and bezel las fullvision display. The company is rapidly expanding in India and introducing handsets in every price segment. Honor 8 Pro There is a smartphone coming in a category less than Rs 30,000. In your portfolio Honor 9i Along with the inclusion of, Huawei has tried to reach a brand dominated category like Vivo, Oppo and Samsung. Learn how we liked Honor 9i while using for the first time.

Honor has given many things for the first time with 9I. First of all, let us know that this is the company’s first smartphone with 18: 9 fullview display. Apart from this, this is the first smartphone to be launched with two rear and two front cameras in India. But do these features really work? We got a chance to spend some time with Honor 9i at the company’s launch event. Learn here how this device was in the first glimpse.

The device looks very premium to a great extent. Apart from this, it feels strong and remains stable. The phone has a 13 -megapixel primary and a 2 -megapixel secondary camera at the front. While the rear has a 16 megapixel sensor and 2 megapixel depth sensor. The camera on the rear is embossed and in the middle. It seems that there is a metal ring around the sensor, but we are excited to see how it will be to catch during common use.

The phone has a 5.9 inch display and bezels are thin. Honor has selected the 18: 9 aspect ratio for the display keeping the market’s existing trend. For this reason, the resolution of the screen has become FullHD+ (1080×2160 pixels). On the bottom of the phone, an old styled micro-USB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack and loudspeaker will be available. The company has a Kirin 659 processor in Honor 9i, which is an octa-core. Apart from this, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB inbuilt storage have also been provided. This price Xiaomi Mi A1 And Moto G5S Plus They also come in this RAM and storage variants. The storage of this phone with a hybrid-dual sim slot can be increased at the price of not putting a second SIM card.

Honor has given a 3340 mAh battery in the phone, which is fine given its thickness. We did not feel any warmth in a short time spent with Honor 9I. However, we will give any decision on battery life only after our detailed review.

Once you turn on power, you will get EMUI 5.1 skin above Android 7.0 Nougat. While the basic functionality of the OS is the same, Honor has added some new features.

The phone also has multiple gestures and shortcuts for many tasks. In addition, higher resolution means that most apps have to be stretched for the use of the entire screen.

There is no confusion in this that the specialty of this smartphone is cameras. Honor with two cameras on both sides claim that the company has used hardware compared to software to use Bokeh Effects. While most of the other manufacturers are using software. During our full review, we will give our final decision in this regard.

With a price of Rs 17,999, it seems that the phone has good hardware. With 18: 9 displays and four cameras, Honor 9 is a good option for buyers looking for new features. Stay connected with us for full review of the phone.

Google has two new smartphones under its pixel series Pixel 2 And Pixel 2 xl Has launched These flagship smartphones of Google’s new generation will be challenged by Samsung Galaxy S8 series, Galaxy Note 8, Apple iPhone X and 8 Series and LG V30. Apart from this, Sony’s new Xperia XZ 1 is also ready for the challenge. Do new pixel smartphones perform better? At the company’s event in San Francisco, we got a chance to spend some time with these smartphones. Let us know how we felt by using them for the first time.
Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Like the previous pixel phones, many main features and specifications are the same. Both phones have Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and 4 GB RAM. Both smartphones will be available in 64 GB and 128 GB storage. Like the original pixel phone, new pixel smatphones also do not support expandable storage. Both phones come with an IP67 rating i.e. will be safe from water and dust particles. Stereo speakers are also given. Both phones are made of aluminum unibody and have a fingerprint sensor on the rear. Both phones run on Android 8 Oreo and are also guaranteed to get long -term updates. There is also a new feature named Active Edge which is like the ‘squez’ gesture of HTC U11 and will also make Google Assistant active.

After using both the phones for a short time, we found that the pixel 2 is better designed for everyday use. Whereas the XL variant for those who want to show off. Because Pixel 2 has a 16: 9 aspect ratio full HD screen while XL variants have 18: 9 QuadHD+ panel. Pixel 2 is easy to hold in the hand and it feels light. Its 5 inch full HD Olad panels are well saturated. On the other hand, the Pixel 2 XL has a 6 inch POLed display, due to which Google has been able to give a curved design to the edge of the device. This device also produces good color produce and saturates.

Since both the devices have Olad panels, and also have allways-on displays and now playing features. With the help of Google’s AI capacity, this feature recognizes the song running in the background and for this you will not need any internet connection. We were told that Google store an on-device library with 10,000 songs.

The buttons are given right places in both smartphones, although it takes some hard work to reach the button in the XL variant. On the bottom, the phone has a USB Type-C port and both phones have a SIM tray on the left side. The phone does not have a headphone socket which disappoints.

The new variant has made a lot of changes in the software with the new home screen. On the top, you will get a snipet for your every day’s work. Apart from this, reminders and appointments can also be seen from the calendar. The Goog search box has been taken down, making it easier than before. You will see Google search even when swipe between home screen.

Google Pixel and Pixel Axle proved to be the best phones to be launched last year. And the same is the same with Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. These new smartphones scored 98 in DXOMARK and beat the iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Both these smartphones achieved 94 points. This is a major achievement compared to the original pixel phone. Google has given a single camera in these phones. Google had informed us that the camera has a combination of hardware and AI or machine learning. Which has helped to achieve this available to Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. Both phones have a 12.2 megapixel sensor with wide aperture F/1.8 and optical image stabilization. During video recording, the phone uses the combination of OIS and EIS. Now while running the phone, we saw that the phone supports 4K on 30 Framphritiske, while the iPhone 8 supports 4 of 60 frames per second.

We also used single-camera portrait mode and it works for both front and rear cameras. According to Google, machine learning with dual-pixel sensor has been used to make a depth map and the subject looks different from its background. The results look very attractive even when there is no other camera. We could not use the camera too much but we will give our final decision about it in a detailed review.

In India, Google will be able to buy Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones from November. The price of 64 GB and 128 GB storage of Pixel 2 will start from Rs 61,000 and Rs 73,000 respectively. At the same time, the price of 64 GB storage of Pixel 2 XL starts at Rs 73,000. And this price is attractive. Google can give a tough competition with these new phones in Samsung and Apple dominated market. Especially when the first generation pixel smartphone did not touch a huge number of sales. Google told Gadgets 360 that, “We have learned a lot with pixel phones in India and we are increasing our marketing investment.”

This means that Google will also see offline channel as an alternative. Because in India, the phone is more expensive by Rs 20,000 than America. Although how much this decision will be in favor of Google, it will be known in the coming time, new phones look good, but we will tell you about how it performs compared to Apple and Samsung’s flagship smartphone.

JioPhone has been one of the much-awaited phones this year. This is a 4G and VoLTE phone presented at Reliance Jio’s general annual meeting. The main reason for the craze for the phone is to be effectively free. Customers will have to pay Rs 1,500 to buy this, which will be returned after returning the phone after three years. Reliance Jio started pre-booking of this feature phone in August and the delivery of this phone was promised to start from September.

Jio phone cannot be placed in a particular category. It is like a feature phone in appearance but it has many smart features, due to which the phone gets a different identity. All the apps of Jio work in this feature phone. You will be able to watch cinema and also stream the songs. Along with this, free data is also being given in the tariff plan, so that you can use these services. These claims look good to hear, but how is the experience of using a live phone? Let us tell you …

Reliance Jio phone design and texture

Jio phone is similar to a common feature phone according to texture and feeling. It comes with small screens and numeric keypads. Everything is made of plastic and we will say that its quality is good. Weight is not very high and it fits easily in hands. The phone’s grip is good in the hands due to curved edges. It does not feel thick or weighty.
The screen is 2.4 inches and its resolution is 240x 320 pixels. The viewing angles are quite bad, but according to the price it will be considered fine. The display has two function buttons, D papd, call and disconnect buttons and number pads. There is a VGA camera next to the earpiece above the screen. There is enough distance between each button and it is easy to reach them. They feel strong when pressed button.

There is nothing but a 2 -megapixel primary camera and loudspeaker on the back of the phone. The back cover can be removed. And the 2000 mAh battery also comes out. Jio is a single sim device and has a nano sim slot. You will get a separate slot for microSD card. The lower back has a headphone socket with microUSB port. There is an LED flashlight on the top. It can be activated by pressing the up button on D pad for a long time.

In the retail box, you will find a charger and micro-USB cable in addition to the Jio phone. The phone will already have live sim. It has to be activated before using it. We used an old Jio SIM with the phone. And it went on without any trouble. As expected, Airtel’s SIM did not run in it.

Reliance Jio Phone Specification and Software

Live phone There is a feature phone but specifications are worth noting. There is a dual core processor and is accompanied by 512 MB RAM. Inbuilt storage is 4 GB. Out of this, 1 GB is available for the user. 1 GB is reserved for apps and the rest of the storage software updates and apps will be useful. Storage is not a matter of concern, as you will be able to use microSD cards up to 128 GB. You will be able to transfer the file through USB cable to personal computer from your phone, just inbell the USB mode.

Jio phones have Bluetooth and WiFi for connectivity. With the help of Bluetooth, you will be able to transfer the file to another phone. We were able to access internet through Wi-Fi router without any hassle. You do not find these connectivity features in the feature phone. Because of this, the Jio phone overtakes the rest in the race. 4G is VoLTE support. The phone rapidly connects to the Jio Network. There is no hotspot feature, that is, those who want to consume free data received every day with other devices will be disappointed.

We have received many questions about the operating system of JioPhone. For your information, let us know that Jio phone runs on KaiOS. This is a customized version of Firefox OS. It seems that Reliance has worked on improving the software. Because the Firefox OS given in Intex Cloud FX had a lot of shortcomings. The user interface is simple and is easily understood. The grid style is menu. The names and icons of the app are easily identified. You cannot decorate these icons according to your own. But you can definitely keep the favorite on the top. Jio phone has an app store named Geostor, but will not find anything other than Jio’s apps.

Shortcuts also work to launch the four button apps of the depad on the home screen. You will be able to access the Settings app, camera, messages and inbuilt museum players from these buttons. We could not use these buttons for our desire’s app. Alerts are in one place. These can be reached through the function button on the left side. The Settings menu is well lead out and it is easy to find options. Software update is facilitated and OTA updates will be available which is not common for feature phones. We hope that Reliance Jio will continue to add new features to live phones through this.

The feature phone has geolocation which shows the location through GPS and Wi-Fi data. It is used for SOS emergency function. If the users keep the 5 number button pressed for a long time, the phone will send SOS messages with the location coordinate. NFC has also been given for payments in Jio phone, but it is not available yet. It is possible that it will be enabled through OTA updates.

Some work features are provided in the software. Whenever you type to dial a number, the names of the contact will be found in your own suggestion. If you want, you will be able to make a video call by pressing the call button for a long time. However, navigation is a bit slow. Do not expect smartphone level function from this. While typing a number or typing a number, the beep sound came from the keypad after a while. This spoiled the experience, while in reality there is no lag in the keypad. After muteing the phone, we could type more quickly.

Many Jio apps are already installed. You will get Jio apps like Jio Cinema, Geochat, Geomusic. Basic calculator, unit conversion, notes, FM radio, video player and gallery app are also given. We were able to stream songs on Jio Music. Watching the television serial on JioTV and enjoyed cinema on Geomuvies, that too without any trouble. For the buyers of Jio phone, this subscription is currently free, which is a good thing.

Streaming video Jio apps play in landscape mode. But in the microSD card, only played in portrait mode. The experience of watching the video was very bad in both the situation. In such a situation, the TV cable accessory will prove to be a thing of the work. It is not easy to control the level of voice, as no physical buttons were given. This deficiency will put you to play media or knock the phone during common use.

The phone also has a voice assistant who has been named Helozio. It can be activated by pressing the depad button for a long time. It understands the basic command. Such as calling on calling the name, or opening the app. But it is slow. This is for those who are unaware of this technology.

Popular social media apps like Facebook and WhatsApp are not available in Jio phones yet. It is reported that the company is working on it. You will get a web browser through which you will be able to take advantage of Facebook and other services. During the review, we were able to use the Telegram messaging app on the web browser of Jio phone. We also used YouTube the same experience that was fine. However, Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video Jio Phone were not usable on the browser.

Reliance Jio Phone Performance, Camera and Battery Life

Even after the partnership of ordinary hardware and KaiOS, you cannot expect speed with cheap smartphones from it. It will take time to load the app, but you will not be disappointed because of this. Hardware but so powerful is to play full-HD video. You will be able to run the same app at one time. We also played some games on Geogames. Even though these games are very basic, but not bad. The performance of Jio apps depends on internet connectivity. During the review, our phone got good 4G coverage. Therefore, a few seconds had to wait for songs or streaming of cinema. But in the coming time, the situation may change after millions of live phone users arrive.

The back of the phone has a 2 megapixel camera without flash. The VGA camera is on the front panel. Two cameras are welcome steps at this price. We do not have much expectations from these cameras. The camera app is very basic. You just get photos, videos and self -timer mode.

The resolution of the picture taken from a 2 -megapixel rear camera is 1600×1200 pixels. Landscape shots lack details. It has a lot of noise. Close shp shots came better in comparison. Pictures become blurred every time due to motion. The performance of the camera is very simple at night. You will need a stagnant hand for a good shot. The subjects are seen only when enough light remains. Hardly seen in low light. Photo handsets seem much better than the computer screen on the screen. You can choose the resolution of your video. The resolution of good quality videos will be 720×480 pixels. Quality is not very bad. It can be used. But do not expect more details.

The resolution of the selfie is 640×480 pixels. In this too, you will get noise with rear camera. It would be wrong to compare Jio phone with today’s smartphone. Pictures are blurred due to not having enough lights or moving hands. The highest video resolution of the selfie camera is 352×288 pixels. It is of no use to you.

We were desperate to know how much the battery of Jio phone would run in common use? According to the feature phone, it comes with a large 2000 mAh battery. But it has features like Bluetooth, 4G, Wi-Fi and GPS which are known for battery consumption. After common use, we found that even after 24 hours, 80 percent of the battery remains. The phone goes on without charging for about 4 days.

After talking continuously for 15 minutes, we found that the battery was reduced by 2 percent and 5 percent on talking for 30 minutes. This is a good performance according to 4G data connection. We also streamed the TV serial on the phone. It was found that the battery was reduced by 7 percent after watching the 30 -minute episode. The same type of test on Wi-Fi connections saw a decline of 6 percent. The battery was reduced by just 3 percent for not touching the phone even once for about 12 hours. You will also get a power saving mode that switch off everything to reduce power consumption.

Our decision

Jio phone is not made for smartphone users. This is for a user who wants to upgrade from the feature phone, but without more money expenses. Apart from this, it is made to connect people from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities to the Internet. Will live phone achieve the company’s target? We will say that it has capacity. Hardware is capable. The experience of using software is also good.

The free subscription of Jio apps makes this deal more luxurious. The ability of OTA updates indicates that more features can be found in future. However, you should read the ‘conditions’ section carefully on Jio’s website. Here, the conditions required to get the specifics related to the tariff plan and the refund are mentioned by returning the phone. Apart from this, it is not easy to buy the phone. At the same time, what will be its performance after a long time? And how reliable it is? All these questions cannot be answered yet.

To upgrade the phone, let us tell the user who wants to spend less than that Jio phone is much better than its rivals. Looking at the feature, it can be called a smart feature phone. If you have been successful in booking it then you will not be disappointed.
