A few months ago, smartphones like feature at the price of feature phones Live phone Has folded everyone’s attention towards them. This phone also forced the rivals to introduce low -cost VoLTE phones.

Micromax India 1 is one such device, which has been launched by domestic smartphone manufacturer Micromax in BSNL’s partnership. Will India be able to challenge 1 Jio phone? Does India 1 justify its price right? Let us know the answers to all these questions in the review.

Micromax India 1 Design
Micromax India 1 It has a 2.4 inch display and has a pneumric keypad on the front. The resolution of the display is 240×320 pixels. The viewing angles are not good and the color also looks washed out. The phone has two buttons, a center bun with de-pads, calls and disconnect buttons and number pads. The buttons are made of plastic and come with blue backlight. The button is difficult to use. Loudspeakers also work with earpiece in the phone. The handset has a VGA selfie camera on the front and a 2 megapixel primary camera has been given on the rear.

The rear panel of the phone can be removed. It has a 2000 mAh battery. Battery removal will show two micro SIM slots and a microSD card slot. India 1 has a micro-USB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Like the second budget phone, India 1 also has a flashlight at the top. The flashlight can be turned on if the navigation button is held in the middle for a long time.

Micromax has a headset and charger with India 1 in the box that comes with a micro-USB cable. The charger is of 3.5 watt and it has been claimed to charge the phone’s battery in three hours. However, if the company had given a separate micro-USB cable separately, it could have helped transfer the file between the phone and the computer.

Micromax india 1 specification and software
In terms of Rs 2,200, the specification of India 1 looks very good. Micromax India 1 has a dual-core Snapdragon 205 processor and 512 MB RAM. The phone has 4 GB inbuilt storage which has 2.13 GB for the use of the user. It is possible to increase storage through microSD cards up to 128 GB. When connecting to a computer, the phone automatically goes into storage mode by default and it helps to transfer the file easily.

Live phone (Review) It has only one SIM slot and separate from this India 1 has a dual SIM device. It is a dual sim device but only one SIM supports 4G and VoLTE. The second SIM will be limited to 2G or 3G network and there is no way to know what speed you are getting. We noticed that the phone works properly on the SIM card of all networks i.e. it is not lock for any one network.

The handset has Wi-Fi support which can be used to access the Internet in the event of mobile data off. You can setup a Wi-Fi hotspot through the USB port. You can share the file with another device through Bluetooth connectivity. The phone does not have NFC. Shocking is that you get GPS but there is no app for its use.

Micromax told Gadgets 360 that India runs on a customized version of 1 Android. But the company did not give any clear information about this, but we were indicated by using some apps and service and UI that they were designed for Android 4.4 KitKat which is now several years old. The phone does not have any app draw and a tile is a menu. And everything can be exhausted through the menu using the depad. It is easy to navigate through the menu. But there is no shortcut in the four buttons of the depad so that the app can be launched quickly.

WhatsApp and Facebook light icons have already been given in India 1 but it will be necessary to download them first to use them. The T9 tips on the keyboard are already enabled by default but you can switch between various input methods. D-pads can be used as cursors for many apps but it is inconvenient. For example, WhatsApp does not seem completely optimized for such phones. We tried to make a video call on WhatsApp and we could talk without any trouble. Apart from this, there is a link to YouTube website, a web browser, music and video player. The phone also has a file manager and FM radio. Apart from this, there is a fun app from which access to live TV, video and movie is available but this content is very low compared to Jio phone.

WhatsApp and Facebook light icons have already been given in India 1 but it will be necessary to download them first to use them. Micromax has also given a link to YouTube website, a web browser, music and video player. The phone also has a file manager and FM radio. Apart from this, Zeda is a fun app of TV from which access to live TV, video and movie is available but this content is very low compared to Jio phones. Apart from this, the screen is not good to see the content due to screen size and bad viewing angle.

Given that the phone runs on Android, we tried to download some APK. But it seems that Micromax has disabled it. There is no way to enable it, which means that you will not get full fun of Android operating system. Apart from this, there is no voice assistant in it like a Jio phone and you have no option to connect the phone to the TV to see the content. There is no way to download or sideload another Android app in the phone.

Micromax India 1 Performance, Camera and Battery Life
The hardware of Bharat 1 is extremely basic and software also does not act like Android of a smartphone, so we did not have much expectations. The performance of the phone is average. We had trouble while dialing and typing the number. Even while typing any number, the dialer does not register some numbers. Previously installed video players do not support all format but we have played an HD video file that was easily played.

If you have used a touchscreen Android phone, then it can be difficult to use a phone with a keypad. However, the user using smart feature phones for the first time should easily get used to it.

Micromax Bharat 1’s battery life is fine. Even after using a lot of calls and WhatsApp, the phone’s battery lasted more than 2 days. There is no way to install another app in the phone, so we expect to get such a battery life. However, if you use hotspots, battery consumption will be faster. The device can also be charged using USB tethering while sharing data.

The rear camera of India 1 does not have autofocus which is also valid in terms of its price. We found that there is a problem in the viewfinder even in daylight and in low light it works negligible. The app is practice and can be switched between mode and zoom through D-pad. The app can change white balance from the app and the exposure level and timer can be set as needed.

There is an option in the setting list to switch between the rear and selfie cameras, but a tuggle would have been better. Both cameras are working and photos look good only on the small screen of the phone. There is a lack of detailing in the pictures and if you are not stable then most of the photos will be blurred. The selfie camera also has the same problem and we saw Croma Noise in most indoor pictures. VGA (640×480) can record resolution videos from front and rear cameras but the result is less than average.

Our decision
If you want a feature phone in which Facebook and WhatsApp are also found in addition to calling, then Micromax India 1 is a good option. You will have to spend Rs 2,200 and India 1 will be yours. You can use it with any service provider of your choice. If you use Bharat 1 with BSNL, then you will get enlightened calls and data in a recharge of Rs 97.

India 1 is better than Jio phone due to Wi-Fi hotspots, USB tethering capacity and not being locked for any single network. But, in this phone you do not get entertainment content like a live phone. However, Micromax has limited Android features. The phone has no play store nor is there any way to install the app. That is, you will have to work with the apps you get in the phone.

If you are looking for your first smart feature phone or second backup device, then India 1 will not disappoint you.

Huawei’s Honor brand has launched some very popular smartphones in the market this year. One of them is two rear cameras Honor 6XWhich was launched at the beginning of the year. There itself, OnePlus 5 In response to the company Honor 8 Pro Had taken up Was the company’s last product Honor 9IThis is a four camera smartphone. Two on the rear and two forward.

Before the year the year ends, Honor has prepared to introduce his popular Honor 6X upgrade. It is claimed that it will come with beautiful displays, better cameras and powerful setups. New Honor 7X Launch in December Have to be done. We have spent some time with it before the handset was officially launched. How did we like Honor 7X at first glance? Let’s tell.

Metal Unibody strengthens the phone and keeps the feeling solid. The grip is also good due to mats black finish. The position of the button is good. All ports are at the bottom. Honor has given a 3.5mm headphone socket in the phone which is a good thing. But the phone was disappointed to see the USB Type-C port. The 18: 9 aspect ratio is dominated on the entire front panel. It is good in appearance, but it is not easy to reach every edge during one hand used due to a 5.93 inch screen. The display seems quite sharp due to full-HD+ resolution. Colors are also Panchi.

The rear of the phone gives a glimpse of the Honor 8 Pro. The antenna band has found a place on the top and lower back. Honor has given a fingerprint sensor on the back and it is easy to reach.

The new Octa-core Kirin 659 chipset has been used in Honor 7X. It has 64 GB storage with 4 GB RAM. The phone runs on EMUI 5.1 based on Android 7.0 Nougat. Remember that Honor 6X is one of the early handsets to come with two rear cameras in the price range of Rs 15,000. The company has adopted the same strategy in Honor 7X. But this time the primary sensor of the rear portion has become 16 megapixels. The secondary camera is still 2 megapixels which will work to assess the depth. The camera app is also a bit changed, we will tell you in detail in the review.

Honor 7X has been said to launch at a very aggressive price. It is so clear that the company will keep the price of this phone that directly Xiaomi mi a1, Redmi Note 4 And Moto G5s Plus Will be a challenge for. The 64 GB variant of Honor 7X in China is 1,699 Chinese Yuan (about Rs 16,850). In India too, the price is expected to be around this. Remember that Honor 6X was also launched at the same price. If seen, Honor 7X is not a very big upgrade, so there will be not much difference in the price. Honor is also known for an aggressive price. The company also did the same with Honor 8 Pro. The price of this phone was also lower than OnePlus 5 and the specifications were also more powerful.

We will test every feature and specification of Honor 7X in the coming weeks. This will then come with detailed reviews.

Within 5 months of launching OnePlus 5, the Chinese company OnePlus has another of its more Flagship smartphone OnePlus 5T removedMost of the specifications of OnePlus 5T are the old ones. Variants are also two and most importantly there is no difference in the price. In a way this Chinese company in a shock OnePlus 5 Has broken his body from It is certain that in view of the price of OnePlus 5T, those people who have spent about Rs 30,000 on OnePlus 5. On the other hand, the company also adopted all the marketing tactics before launching OnePlus 5. We have spent some time before the launch event with OnePlus 5T and during the event. At first glance, how did we like this phone? Let’s tell …

OnePlus 5T The main or the only reason for launching can be a display with 18: 9 aspect ratio. Because in 2017 fullview display has been in circulation and OnePlus Fit at other companies looked backward. Even though the specifications of OnePlus 5 are still strong, but in terms of look it hardly attracts customers, especially in front of existing challenges. In such a situation, how the onePlus could take the risk of staying behind. That too when this company is known for selling only one model at a time.

The reports of Snapdragon 836 processor in OnePlus 5T were completely rumored. Because Qualcomm has not yet lowered any such chipset. The new smartphone has also used Snapdragon 835 processor, which is the best mobile chipset to date today. OnePlus 3 And OnePlus 3T Like this, there is nothing new in terms of performance in this mid bicycle upgrade. One variant is 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage and the other variant has 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage.

OnePlus has given a long screen while in trend. But the company has missed the phone without border. The side of the front glass is curved. The border is still clearly visible all around the screen. Something like this Oppo f5, Vivo v7 plus And Honor 9i Has also been seen with. The funny thing is that this phone will be available only in black color. It is possible that OnePlus will also introduce new color variants in the future, as it has been doing before.

The resolution of the 6.01 inch AMOLED screen is 1080×2160 pixels. We believe that this setup will become a standard of this price level. The screen is bright and vibrant. We had no problem during use. Interested customers will be happy to know that the shortage of Jelly Scroll Effect of OnePlus 5 did not see us in OnePlus 5T.

The hideout of the fingerprint sensor has changed. Till now it was present under the display, but now it has gone to the back. It is easy to reach and it works fast. OnePlus has also used face recognition technology in the phone. You will be able to unlock the handset by using the front camera of OnePlus 5T. It works like Oppo F5. It takes some time to setup. But after this, unlocking the phone becomes faster and easy.

We had the same complaint from OnePlus 5 that the outer edges of the rear camera were being easily worn. It seems that this time the company has removed this shortage. The rise of the camera does not seem strange. If seen, now IPhone 7 Plus And IPhone 8 plus Is closer to the design.

The lower back has a 3.5mm audio socket and a large speaker grill with USB Type-C port. On the left, the trademark of OnePlus is a OnePlus alert slider, with the help of which you will move in the do not disturb mode quickly. Apart from this, the volume button is also on the right. There are two nano sim slots on the right side and the power button is also on the same side. Storage cannot be increased, due to which there is no microSD card slot.

Apart from the screen, there is a major difference in the onePlus flagship device of dual camera setup. In the new smartphone, the responsibility of the secondary camera on the back part is now to give better performance in low light. You will get a 20 -megapixel sensor with 16 megapixels on the rear part. The aperture of both is F/1.7. In low light, the camera app will automatically switch on secondary rear camera, so that the performance is better. Due to having two cameras, support for portrait mode is available. Only after reviewing OnePlus 5T, we will tell you in detail about its photo quality.

Talking about software, it is disappointed to know that OnePlus 5T still runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Above this the company has its own oxygenoS 4.7. The company promises that it will release the Android 8.0 update in early 2018. There are still many customization options in oxygenoS, yet the experience is almost stock Android.

We will soon come with a detailed review of OnePlus 5T. During this time, the phone cameras, batteries, screens and performance will be discussed in detail.

(It is to be known that our correspondent’s air fare and hotel expenses have been raised by OnePlus for the launch event.)

Whether you like or not, the most important design of the year 2017 is the trend long screen. It is not easy for every company to use curved glass. Metal body is expensive, but the expenses are not much to make the display panel bigger. At the beginning of the year Samsung and LG have their flagship smartphones Samsung Galaxy S8 And LG G6 Got it down. These were the early smartphones of this year to come with a big screen. But after this we have the budget range Micromax Canvas Infinity I also saw this feature. Many mid -range phones also want to capitalize on the popularity of this feature.

Oppo has its latest smartphone Oppo f5 Have done something similar with. The design of this phone has also dominated the feature with special front cameras of the F series of the company.

Perhaps there is nothing shocking in it, because this change is clearly obviously. Most people will be attracted by the phone at first glance due to this feature. Even if you like any feature of this phone. But we will test it on every scale.

Oppo f5 design

Companies who have started offering big displays with 18: 9 aspect ratios, they miss making phones with a completely border. The Oppo F5 is also one of them. There is no equal material on the edges. But the remaining materials are clearly visible due to the review unit being white. The top and bottom of the display still reminds of the old phones. The front camera part is next to the earpiece.

We do not like this strategy of companies that give plastic screen protector with the phone in advance. This is good for customers, as they are discharged from purchasing screen protector. But according to us it spoils the look of the phone. The “borderless” effects are lost somewhere due to the additional line of plastic. Something similar happens with Oppo F5.

The rear part is gold colored, that too with matte metallic texture. Sometimes it looks pink in color, which is dependent on light. The bright chrome ring is on the edge of the ring, where the metal back and white colored front panels are met. The phone also has an antenna line with iPhone 7 styled. Generally, this phone is quite good in appearance, but according to us this phone will look better in black.

On the right side you will get a dual sim tray with a power button. At the same time, the volume button on the left is present. There is nothing but Mike Pinhole at the top. At the same time, the lower part is full. There will be a 3.5mm audio socket, micro-USB port, mike and speaker grill here. It is easy to reach the fingerprint sensor on the back. Sadly, the rear camera is of bulging and its metal edges are slightly rough.

Oppo F5 with 7.5 millimeters thickness looks thin and 152 grams weight is also not very high. Due to the rear part texture, there is no difficulty in holding the phone in the hands. Due to screen size, you will not be able to reach every corner of the display with your thumb. The screen of the phone is very large. But the experience of using is good.

Oppo F5’s specification and software

The distance from one edge to the other in the screen is 6 inches. But there is no doubt that it is very compared to the old days of phablet. Its resolution is 1080×2160 pixels. This is due to full-HD resolution fitting into the 18: 9 aspect ratio.

The phone uses MediaTek MT6763T processor which was recently launched. The most clock speed of the processor is 2.3 GHz. Mali G71 MP2 GPU is integrated for graphics. At one time in the Oppo F5, users will be able to use 4G networks from just one SIM. Apart from this, if you change the position of the SIM, then the phone is repeatedly rebooted which is disturbing.

The Oppo F5 is currently launched with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. The company has said that 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage variants will also be launched in December. It is worth noting that the 6 GB RAM variant will be available in black and red color.

Other specifications include 3200 mAh battery, 16 megapixel rear camera, 20 megapixel front camera and separate microSD card slot. Dual band Wi-Fi is 802.11 N, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS for connectivity. We were disappointed to see the micro-USB port. Apart from this, the phone does not support fast charging.

Oppo’s custom skin is known as ColorOS. This phone runs on 3.2 version which is based on Android 7.1. If seen, it is one of the very detailed custom user interfaces and also very polished. Many things seem inspired by iOS. All app icons are part of the home screen. Photos, music, videos, browser, clock and other apps are present in custom avatar. You will get an installed Facebook, WPS office and Amazon shopping and prime video apps in advance. By the way, the phone is Flipkart exclusive.

Settings app is quite different from stock Android. In such a situation, you have to investigate some action before taking any action. You will also get a glimpse of the exclusive feature of many colorOS. One of these is Clone Apps. With the help of this feature, you will be able to use many apps with two IDs.

Oppo has also given the face recognition security feature in this phone. We were very excited earlier, because after the iPhone X, this feature has been a topic of discussion. During the review, we found that the registration process failed several times. Even after the set, there was a slight delay in unlocking the phone. If seen in common use, the fingerprint cace is more fast and natural.

Oppo f5 performance

It takes some time to get addicted to its big screen. Sometimes the app also did not fully score. For example, YouTube videos looked in landscape mode as they were being run in a black box.

Apart from this, the display is very good. It is crisp and bright. Colors is Panchi and Viewing Angle Great. Whether it is writing or watching videos, our experience was fantastic. We went to Kho in it. We believe that this experience will be even more spectacular in the black variant. The main drawback is the pre -given screen protector. There are scratch marks on it and leaves the impression of the fingers easily.

The built in speaker is strong. While playing the game and watching the video, there is a clear and complete voice. The accompanying headset is also fine. But the bass is completely missing. After a few minutes it seems a bit strange.

Honor 9I ,Review) And Vivo V7 Plus ,Review) Oppo F5 benchmark scores were better than rivals.

The 16 -megapixel rear camera also takes good pictures at night with daylight. There is no shortage of details. Colors are in appropriate amounts and the camera also focuses rapidly. If you get a little light at night, then the pictures are good. Videos are also quite sharp records and smooth in different circumstances.

Oppo F5 has a 20 -megapixel front camera. The company has told about having an AI powered beautification mode in it. Facials are good in selfie, but this cannot be said about the object of the background. You will be able to capture good pictures for social media. According to us, the main reason for taking selfie cameras is also the same. Despite having a selfie -focused phone, the non -mauzudgy of flash looks shocking. But the screen flash works to some extent. The AI ​​will identify the powered beautification mode facial features. And Oppo has told that he has trained Vargoatham on different types of people. So that different beautification techniques are used for different subjects. According to us, there was no significant difference in photographs taken at different levels. Perhaps this technique does not bring any big change, which is an important specialty. Hopefully, its AI feature will be better over time.

Battery life also does not disappoint. We could use the phone for about one and a half days. During this, played a little game and also web browsing. Sadly, the phone does not have quick charge support. The battery lasted 11 hours 24 minutes in our HD video loop test. Looking at the screen, it will be considered good. Disappointment is about the absence of quick charge support. It took about 1 hour to charge the battery from 10 per cent to 65 per cent, which is fine.

Our decision

Oppo has launched a winner phone in the form of F5. The screen is large and emergent. The look is wooing. Battery life is fantastic. Performance is also good for most tasks. The deficiency is the facial recognition which seems more pretending. Apart from this, the storage of Oppo F5 is also less than other phones in this price range. It should have 64 GB storage. Oppo will bring its 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage variants, but the price will be 5,000 rupees.

Oppo F5 will be directly clashed with Vivo V7 Plus and Honor 9i. But you have Xiaomi mi max 2, Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro And Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) Like there are options.

In the Indian market Xiaomi The journey of is about four years old. During this time, the company became the second number smartphone company in terms of sale after Samsung. For the purpose of going on top, this Chinese company has been expanding its portfolio. Flagship in the last few months Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 And Android One handset Xiaomi mi a1 ,Review) After launching, now the company has brought a new Redmi Y series for the youth. Through this series, Xiaomi wants to give selfie -centered product to customers. The initial model of this series is Xiaomi Redmi Y1. Its specifications are good on paper. But is it worth becoming your first choice? Let’s know.

Xiaomi Redmi Y1 Design

Xiaomi Redmi Y1 After seeing it, it can be said with confidence that the impression of the Xiaomi family is clearly visible. If you consider it at first glance Xiaomi Redmi 4, then nothing will be shocking in it. Take the phone in your hands and you will realize that this is larger than Xiaomi Redmi 4. 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.
This phone with 153 grams is very light and Xiaomi has used plastic to keep weight low. Chrome highlights, give a feeling of metal back platt. But the rear and edges are made of plastic. Power and volume buttons are also plastic. The 13 -megapixel primary camera and flash top are on the edge and the fingerprint sensor has got a place in the middle. The position of the scanner is convenient. There is a sim tray on the left side. You will find 2 Nano SIM slots. Apart from this, there is also a separate slot for microSD card to increase storage.

There is a microUSB port on the lower back, while on top is the secondary mike and headphone jack for noysed cancellation in addition to IR blaster. We liked the build quality of Redmi Y1. 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.

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.
