Taiwan’s smartphone manufacturer made a new start in 2017 with HTC’s U series. With this series, the company has given a new design and look in the new smartphone. Their most important specialty is the new ‘liquid surface’ treatment given in his chassis.

Today, we HTC You Play Testing of- this is a small and Zyad affordable variant of the U series. HTC has never been very aware of its premium smartphone prices. So if we have used the word affordable then it is connected to U Ultra. 39,990 is a big price, especially when you pay a little more price to Samsung by paying a little higher price Galaxy S7 ,Review) Can buy.

Does you play only look beautiful or do it show strength in performance too? Let’s know.

HTC You Play Design and Texture
Prose, we have not been fans of big screen smartphones. We preferred HTC You Play with 5.2 inch displays for daily use.

Talk about design and beauty, HTC has introduced another great smartphone. The smartphone looks very spectacular from every side, but it is also difficult to keep it clean. However, it is easy to use the phone with one hand, but catching the phone due to its slipping rear seems like a challenge. We found a black variant for the review but this phone is also available in Saifier Blue, Snow and White and Make-up powder pink color variants at HTC India’s online store.

The 5.2 inch super LCD display given in the phone comes with Gorilla Glass Protection and it comes with a full HD resolution. The screen of the screen is 428 PPI. Brightness is shiny and viewing angles are also very good. Color remains good saturated without any blurring. The color temperature can be adjusted by going to the setting app as per your need. While the display is sharp, we saw the difference in the color on shaking the phone slightly. A notification above the screen is LED and the backlit Android navigation buttons near the home button are given. The fingerprint sensor has been integrated in the home button itself.

HTC U Play is a thin device with 7.99 mm thickness and weighs just 145 grams. Grip is good from the edges made of metal of the phone. We feel that they could be given in a better place to reach power and volume buttons easily.

The phone has a USB Type-C port and mono speaker grill at the bottom. The top and hybrid sim slot is given. The storage of the phone can be increased to 2 TB via microSD card. The rear camera in the phone is slightly out of the outside but not too much. Like U Ultra, this phone has a 3.5mm headphone shock.

Overall, the use of U play is more than Ultra, while it is equally premium. In the retail box, you will find a type-C cable, a plastic case, a 10 watt power adapter, a SIM Izer tool, a microfiber cloth and a yusonic headset.

HTC You Play Specification & Feature
HTC You Play has an octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor. The phone has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. We do not expect MediaTek chipset in products with flagship levels and it is not a flagship level processor. Therefore, we are a little surprised when HTC uses this processor. Please tell that worth Rs 16,000 Moto M I also have a strong helio P15 processor. But still this processor is fine for daily activity. In benchmark, we got 10–15 percent less figures from Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 with the same capacity.

Talking about the second specification, this phone has features like 4.2, dual-band Wi-Fi AC, NFC, USB-OTG, GPS and GLONASS for connectivity. The phone does not have FM radio. Apart from this, 4G VoLTE support is also available. There is also gyroscope and a magnetic sensor.

You Play runs on Android Marshmallow, which is a big question. Especially in view of its big variants, which runs on Android Nougat. Apart from this, HTC’s sense of sense UI is also a lower version which is last year HTC 10 Was seen in In the phone, HTC has given Google’s app suit instead of its many apps. For example, the gallery has been given a play music from the photoz app while for audio.

You can access HTC’s Blinkfide News Reader when swipe on the homescreen first on the homescreen. And it consists of many other apps such as underarmer records, themes and news Republics already installed. HTC has given a new UI Assistant to separate its U series. When we first set HTC U Play, we did not get any indication to use this feature. And until we get the app, we could not make sure whether it is in the feature phone.

HTC You Play Performance
The performance of the phone is excellent due to clean software and large RAM. Multitasking is very well in U play and we never had any problem while doing normal work in the phone and running a social app. We could also play the game well in the phone. However, there were some problems during a select graphics game.

The upper part of the rear becomes hot during the use and charging camera in the phone. But the problem of warmth did not appear during normal use. The call quality from the phone is good and the sound from the earpiece is also good. The fingerprint sensor also works well and identifies fingers rapidly.

Media playback is not very bad, as there was no problem in playing full HD video in the phone. High-boyfriend files also went well in the phone. 4K videos cannot play due to the processor in the phone. Loudspeaker is fine for alert but it is not best for media files. You Play comes with a Type-C Yusonic headset whose performance can be read in detail in the performance section of HTC U Ultra.

The overall performance of both cameras is good, although we are more happy than video features like slow-motion. The 16 -megapixel rear camera comes with PDAF and optical image stabilization (OIS) and aperture F/2.0 and also captures photos with good detailing in low light. Auto HDR mode in backlit scenes helps to increase detailing. Due to wide aperture, a good depth-off-field is available in close-up shot. The second shooting mode has Zo cameras- from which the picture and a three-second video can be recorded. Apart from this, there is also panorama and pro mode. Landscape photos in low light show lack of detailing but close-up shots are better.

The quality of the video recorded is good, but there is no option for video recording of 4K in the phone. The U play has a 16 -megapixel fixed focus front camera equipped with aperture F/2.0. The selfie coming from the phone looks good and a picture can be taken in a group with many people in selfie panorama mode. The front camera also has a video recording of up to 1080 pixels, and has a screen flash, timer.

HTC has given a 2500 mAh battery in U Play. But in our HD video loop test, the battery supported for 8 hours and 44 minutes. During general use, we could run the phone for a full day, which is not bad. Fast charging support does not get fast charging support from 10 watt adapters coming with the phone. The phone has Extreme Power Saving Mode of HTC, which gives closure of background connectivity features and gets basic features like calling and messages.

Our decision
HTC is a good looking device whose texture is better and overall performance is also good. This phone gets good display, brilliant capacity camera and long battery life. This phone is available to buy. We did not get any information about the time of getting Android Nougat update in the phone, but it is expected to get this update soon.

Talking about the shortcomings of the phone, the high price and a budget processor reduces its rating. It is difficult to suggest buying HTC You Play with a price of Rs 39,990. By paying a little more than such a price, you like a flagship smartphone like Samsung Galaxy S7 or other options Moto Z ,Review) Can choose.

Coolpad has been presenting its budget smartphone in India. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has introduced several smartphones in the category priced below Rs 10,000. Coolpad Note 3 Lite ,Review) When it was launched, it was the most economical handset with fingerprint sensor and this was also due to its popularity. Once again the company has upgraded its metal body upgrade variants Coolpad Note 5 Lite Has tried to repeat history with.

The collision is tight and companies like Xiaomi and Lenovo are presenting strong smartphones in this segment. Coolpad Note 5 Lite has a lot to challenge these devices. Will this phone be successful in the market? Let’s know in review.

Coolpad Note 5 Light Design
Coolpad Note 5 Lite is a good looking device and is available in space gray color. The company says that it is made of metal unibodited, but it does not give a premium. When touching the frame and button, they are plastic.

The body has power and volume buttons on the other side. The power button is given the right place and is easy to use. This phone comes with a hybrid dual SIM tray i.e. two SIM cards or a SIM card or a microSD card can be used simultaneously.

The coolpad note 5 light display is given 2.5D glass. We will advise you to use an adapter for screen safety in the phone. There are three capacitive buttons under the display that are given in reverse order of Google’s stock layout. These buttons are not backlit and are difficult to use in the dark.

The rear of the phone is folded on the edges, which makes it look convenient to hold the phone in the hand. The camera is in the middle of the rear and has an LED flash near it. The Note 5 Lite has a fingerprint sensor and a loudspeaker under the camera. There is a small plastic tab under the loudspeaker, so that the voice does not press the sound by being placed in the superficial place.

Coolpad Note 5 Light Specification and Software
The Coolpad Note 5 Lite has a 5 -inch display that comes with 720×1280 pixels resolution. And looks crisp. The resolution of the display is good but the color reproduction is not very accurate. Everything seems washed out. If you have ever used an AMOLED display, it will take you some time to get used to this display.

Budget level specifications are given in this phone. The Coolpad Note 5 Lite has a MediaTek 6735 processor that runs at 1.4 GHz. The processor is slightly old. And due to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 and 430 processors given in the rival phone, the note 5 lights are left behind. Coolpad could use the new MT6737 processor, this processor is more expensive Asus Zenfone 3S Max Has been used in

This phone has 3 GB of RAM and we got more than 1 GB of RAM empty in the phone at all times. Inbuilt storage gets 16 GB which can be increased to 64 GB via microSD card. Keep in mind that in the event of using another SIM, you will have to work with limited storage.

Talking about software, the coolpad note 5 lights run on Android Marshmallow based Cool UI. Comparing the popular stock to Android, this UI is quite different. A separate panel has an installed togle such as swipe from the bottom from the bottom on the screen like iOS, while the notification shade can be seen by swiping up from top to bottom in a normal way. There is no app drawer and all apps appear on the home screen when installed. This smartphone consists of Zuimei Weather, Explore Keyboard and Touchpal Keyboard.

The command center of the device is Cool Manager App and with this you can set the function according to your need. This provides the facility of RAM, permission and battery management in one interface which is very useful. For battery management, already common, outdoor and ultra mode sets will be found. Apart from this, there is also a cool store where the user will get the deal list of e-commerce sites and you can also download the popular games and apps here. The good thing is that it does not provide spam notifications.

Coolpad Note 5 Light Camera
The Note 5 Lite has a 13 -megapixel camera with an LED flash on the rear. It comes with aperture F/2.2. The camera app has been customized by coolpad and has some other options. The phone has a Pro mode that provides manual control, a beauty mode and a different night mode.

They can be improved by removing the stains of photographs from the beauty. The shutter remains open with night mode. When keeping the hand stable, pictures taken in low light are better than normal mode.

The camera app of Coolpad Note 5 Light also provides the option to record Jif and Panorama. The phone has an HDR mode that can be turned on during auto or every picture. Video recording of Note 5 to 720 pixels can be done. Taping on screen during recording can adjust the focus.

Photos taken from coolpad note 5 lights are good. While taking pictures, the hand needs to be kept stable, otherwise it becomes blurred. On the HDR mode, there is a delay in getting photos. The picture turns into a ghost image due to any movement when taking a picture on HDR mode. Close-up shot in good light comes good and sharp.

Coolpad Note 5 Lite has an 8 -megapixel front camera with flash. During the use of the front camera, the beauty mode becomes default as a default. It has a fixed focus but can be shared directly on social media. Selfie flash helps when taking pictures in low light.

Coolpad Note 5 Light Performance
Note 5 Lite did not get much better figures. And it lagged behind the Redmi 3S Prime (Review) with Snapdragon 430 processor. Apart from this, the recently launched low -priced Redmi 4A also left the Note 5 behind.

We also played games in Coolpad Note 5 Lite and the results were satisfactory. We loaded Esfalt 8 and Real Racing 3 and took more time to load but did not have any problem in playing. Despite playing the game for a long time, the phone did not heat up. Although the phone felt hot on touching, but it was not inconvenient to catch.

Coolpad Note 5 Lite has a 2500 mAh non-removable battery. It has a MediaTek 6735 processor and the phone battery runs one day with general use. In our HD video loop test, the phone battery supported for 9 hours and 7 minutes. During GPS navigation for about an hour, 20 percent of the battery was spent but the phone did not heal too much, which is a good sign. In the event of battery discharged, the 7.5 watt charger in the box charges the phone from 0 to 100 percent in about two hours and half an hour.

The fingerprint scanner given in the coolpad note 5 light has been given the perfect place in the phone. And this price is the fastest scanner in the phone. Different fingerprints can be set for different user accounts, so that you can unlock the phone from the appropriate fingerprint and switch to work or personal account. Fingerprint sensors can also do other tasks such as locking the app, responding to an incoming call, recording a call, turning off the display.

Our decision
Coolpad Note 5 Lite is currently in a price segment where a new smartphone enters every week. There are high expectations from the phone and it gives a good option compared to some other big brand phones. However, still Chinese companies, and especially Xiaomi Redmi 3S It will get a tough challenge from.

Some things are very good in the phone. The build quality of Note 5 Lite is good. There is 3 GB RAM and a fingerprint scanner. The only flaw in the phone is the MediaTek processor that makes the phone slow. But if you are tired of trying your luck in Xiaomi’s flash cell, Note 5 is a good affordable option.

Domestic smartphone manufacturer Micromax was one of the top smartphone vendors in the first half of 2016. In a study by IDC, Micromax stood second by selling the most smartphones after Samsung in the second quarter of 2016. However, since then there have been major changes in the industry. And by the end of last year, Chinese companies captured the market. If you look at the latest figures, there is no domestic manufacturer in the top five.

Micromax has now made a new beginning with a dual series. And first smartphone Dual 5 has been launched. Talking about specification Micromax dual 5 Looks strong and software is also good. The company also claims that dual 5 has the best camera in its segment.

Micromax plans 19 percent market share in premium smartphone category (more than Rs 20,000) with this new series. But the road is not so easy. Will this new phone be able to compete with other big names in the market? Know in review.

Micromax dual 5 design
Micromax dual 5 is fully made of metal body and has chamford edges. The phone gives a strong feeling when holding in the hand. The 2.5D curved-edge glass on the next part gives attractive and premium feeling to the phone. The phone looks good when viewed from the rear. There are antenna bands on the top and bottom. Apart from this, there are two cameras, dual-tone LED flash and a fingerprint sensor on the rear. On the bottom of the rear is Micromax logo and we liked this method of branding because this phone looks clean without many people. Due to curved edges, the phone’s grip is good and it can be caught in a convenient manner in the hand. Micromax has named it ‘Arc Design’.

The phone has power and volume buttons on the right side. There is a ‘Smart Ki’ which can be customized on the left side. There is a hybrid dual-sim tray on the left side. The phone has a 3.5mm audio jack and an infrared ammeter to control the electronic appliance on the top. The phone has a USB Type-C port and speaker grill on the bottom. Dual 5 has a capacitive navigation button for Android navigation just below the display. These buttons are not backlit which is a problem for this price phone.

Despite the 5.5 inch display, it is easy to catch Micromax Dual 5 and can be easily used with one hand. However, we suggest that it hold the phone with both hands as it can slip due to the back panel made of metal. Given the dual 5 display comes with a light weight of 164 grams.

In our view, dual 5 is one of the most beautiful smartphones launched by Micromax. This phone looks better than the second smartphone coming in this price segment.

Micromax dual 5 specifications and software
Dual 5 has an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor. The phone has 4 GB RAM and 128 GB of storage. Storage is one of the biggest features of the phone. This price has very few options in the market with 128 GB storage. Xiaomi Mi Max Prime There is another handset that comes with 128 GB storage and Snapdragon 652 processor, but there is no other feature of dual 5.

Micromax Dual 5 has a 5.5 inch full HD (1080×1920 pixels) Super AMOLED display that comes with 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Apart from this, storage can be increased by up to 128 GB microSD card by removing the second SIM card in dual 5. The phone has features like 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 AC and Blutotth 4.1 for connectivity. The phone has an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, infrared sensor and proximity sensor. This phone has a 3200 mAh battery which supports Quick Charge 3.0. The company claims that the phone’s battery is charged up to 95 percent in just 45 minutes.

This phone runs on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow on which the company’s UI has been given. Micromax has developed a new UI that can also be seen in other future devices. The new interface does not have an app drawer, which means that all apps will remain on home screen. The app icon, Quick Settings togle and Settings app have been fully given new look. There are many animations in the new skin and we liked the speedup memory management app that already installed. You can set ‘Smart Ke’ to launch the app without unlocking the phone.

The phone has a theme app from which users can choose wallpaper, ringtone and font in addition to six default themes. But, there is no way to add more themes to the phone right now, but it is expected to be in the coming times. The phone also has a separate wallpaper app from which the wallpaper can be replaced on a tap on the app icon. Through a freezer app, users can drag and drop less used apps. This helps in running the phone at speed.

Users can set an anti-theft app by linking a Google account in the phone. It can then be tracked in the event of the device lost. We liked Micromax’s new Safewich feature, which keeps the data safe in the event of the phone theft. At the launch of Dual 5, the company clarified that the physical buttons will automatically be locked on removing the SIM card from the phone and it can be disabled only by entering the password within 30 seconds. The phone will not turn off due to the button not being active and the user will help track the phone. Also, if no password is inserted within 60 minutes of removing the SIM, then the personal data can be deleted from the phone. Also, if someone tries to unlock your phone, then their picture will be drawn and it will be sent to the account you set.

Micromax says that dual 5 has a strong password and fingerprint and an independent security chip for EAL 5+ Military Grade Security. Dual 5 also has a feature named Securevolt. This is a place for which separate fingerprints can be set. The information stored here cannot be accessed without unlocking. This feature worked as expected in our efforts. Apart from this, the phone also has security apps like 360 ​​security and 360 clone. With an app named Heat Source, you can know the app running in the background, due to which the phone is getting hot.

As you can see, this phone has many apps in advance. But the good thing is that many of these can be removed. We feel that if the phone came with Android Nougat, it would have been better. Nowadays it is becoming a common feature in this price segment.

Micromax dual 5 camera performance
According to its name in Micromax Dual 5, two rear cameras of 13 megapixels have been given. Photos can be taken simultaneously from both cameras. After this, the softest of the phone processes a single picture. These two sensors are used for focus and depth-off-field. Both cameras have used aperture F/1.8 and Faze Detection Autofocus (PDAF). The phone has a bokeh effect. This phone has been seen in very few phones so far.

The camera app contains dual sensor mode by default, although it can be replaced manually. The most important feature of the dual 5 camera is color reproduction, details and sharpness. Great pictures came from the phone in good light, especially close-up shot. We liked the specialty of focusing the Micromax Dual 5 fast. But it takes time to process photos, which may cause problems for the user. We were surprised to see that in regular mode instead of dual mode, pictures take the same time to process. It is expected that Micromax will improve this deficiency through the upcoming software updates.

Photos taken from dual 5 in low light are different according to the lights. We found some pictures attractive, but the phone quality decreases in the dark. Pictures taken in low light shows a lot of noise. However, texture and color remain fine. The pictures on the display of the phone looked good but noys can be seen in pictures on the big screen.

Dual 5 has a 13 -megapixel front camera with aperture F/2.0. The app has a smartbature mode, making selfie more beautiful. We got selfie taken from dual 5 in daylight with good color reproduction and detailing, but the same quality could not remain at night.

There are many modes in the phone’s camera app. Pro mode can manually set white balance, ISO, focus and shutter speed. Macro mode has been given for close-up photography. In addition to the video recording of Camera 4, Slow Motion, Jiff and Time Laps support video. The phone also has some filters.

Micromax dual 5 performance
The general performance of Dual 5 impressed us and we had no problem during multitasking. HD video in the phone runs without any problem. We also liked the sound coming from the speaker because even when there is more volume, the sound is clearly heard and it is fine for a room. We did not get a retail box with our review unit, so we cannot tell anything about the earphones coming together. However, the voice received from our earphones was fantastic.

The call quality in Micromax Dual 5 was excellent and supports VoLTE (Voice over LTE). According to Micromax, dual 5 has stereoscopic antenna, giving the signals 3 times faster. During our review, we found that there was no problem on the weakened area networks. The super amoled panel is shiny and sharp. The color was also fantastic and touch response. Viewing angles are extremely high. The fingerprint sensor also works rapidly. Dual 5 scored a great score in the benchmark test which is similar to another phone with this price segment.

During our review, we saw that the dual 5 benchmark app was heated during the time or prolonged camera use. The phone also gets hot during navigation while using Google Maps. The rear of the phone also gets a little hot while playing graphics games like Dead Trigger 2, Easfallt 8 and Super Mario runs. However, it does not cause much trouble but it attracts attention.

During normal use, the dual 5 battery lasted an entire day and we have no complaints about the battery. In our HD video loop test, the dual 5 battery lasted for 10 hours and 50 minutes, which is not bad. But in another phone with the same battery capacity, we have seen better battery performance. In 20 minutes of charging, the phone is charged up to 40 percent from zero and the phone is full charge in less than an hour.

Our decision
The overall performance of Micromax Dual 5 shocked us. According to the promise, high-quality photos were found from dual rear camera. The company is offering free replacement warranty for a year. Apart from this offer, Micromax also claimed that the company has improved its sales service network.

Looking at the price and specification of dual 5, its direct rival will be from Vivo V5 Plus (Review), Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) and Asus Zenfone 3 (Review). All these phones are found around this price. Dual 5 can also be seen as an alternative to Honor 8 (Review), which is expensive than dual 5. If you want to spend a little more money, then OnePlus 3T (Review) starts at Rs 29,999 and is a better package.

From April 11, Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro will be exclusively on Amazon India. These smartphones come last year Galaxy C7 Is upgraded.

However, the Galaxy C7 Pro replaces Nougat on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The device has a 2.2 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 626 processor. The phone has 4 GB RAM. In our short time, we did not have any problem in the phone and liked the interface. The apps open rapidly and as expected, multitasking with a new premium device is easy.

The Galaxy C7 Pro has a 16 -megapixel sensor for front and rear cameras. Both cameras come with aperture F/1.9. The same camera setup was also given in the Galaxy C9 Pro.

Gionee is one of the Chinese smartphone manufacturers who have noticed more offline marketing than online retail in India. In an event held recently, the company said that the company’s position has been strengthened through offline channels over the years, while other brands are rivalry on e-commerce platforms. The thing that worked the most for Gionee is the product of the company coming in different price segments. The special thing is that Gionee has also introduced smartphones for selfie enthusiasts in this segment. And the latest edition of the company also has the same features.

Gionee in his new A1 and A1 and A1 plus Smartphone MWC 2017 held last month Launched at the trade show. Without waiting, Gionee A1 Has been launched in India. This smartphone has a 16 -megapixel front camera and a large battery. The phone runs on Android 7.0 based Emigo OS. However, this phone has been launched in the category where other smartphones with similar specifications also fit.

Will Gionee A1 be able to compete with its rival smartphone in this price? Learn all the shortcomings and features of the phone in the review.

Gionee A1 Design
Most of the smartphones being sold in India, even in the budget segment, the metal body has now become a standard feature and this is a good thing. While the metal makes the phone strong, it also gives a premium feel. The Gionee A1 uses the A6000 aircraft-grade material and the company claims that it is used to build a car and plane. The winding edges and rear of the device also make it attractive to watch. The front of the phone is occupied by glass. The phone fits easily in hand.

A fingerprint sensor has been integrated in the phone’s home button. There is also a capacitive rear and recent button. There is a volume and power button on the right side. Gionee has given a radish tone in the power button that looks unique. There is a front camera just above the screen and also an LED flash, which Gionee has called a ‘selfie flash’. Micro-USB charging ports and speakers are towards the bottom while 3.5mm audio jacks are upwards.

The rear of Gionee A1 seems to be recognized, because the rear of many recent smartphones has been seen in the same. There are an antenna line up and down. Before Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 ,Review) In this type of antenna line was also seen, which is available at a price less than Jinnie A1. The camera is slightly embossed towards the outside, but it is the Moto G5 Plus (Review) Is not like. There is a dual-LED flash and gionee logo under the primary camera. People have been fitted in a circle. And it looks like a fingerprint reader. We first touched our fingers on the people on the rear, because we have become accustomed to this place of fingerprint. A gionee is written at the bottom on the rear.

Gionee A1 looks slightly heavy with 183 grams weight as its screen size is also not very big. Metal body Redmi Note 4 It has a 4100 mAh battery and weighs only 165 grams. Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime (167 grams) and Moto M (163 grams) also fall in this category and weigh less than Gionee A1.

A charger, a micro-UAC cable, earphones, a transparent back cover, a instruction-book and a SIM Ejector Tool are found with Gionee A1. Overall, we liked the design of the phone. But if its weight was low, it could have been more convenient to use.

Gionee A1 Specification and Software
Gionee A1 has an octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755) processor that runs on 2 GHz. The phone has 4 GB RAM. This smartphone has 64 GB inbuilt storage which can be increased to 256 GB. It is a hybrid dual-sim phone. Both SIMs get 4G support but only one on the same slot at a time. Apart from this, features like VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and USB OTG are also available.

This handset has a 4010 mAh battery, which the company has claimed to run for two days. Gionee A1 comes with fast charging which is a good feature.

The Gionee A1 has a 5.5 inch full HD (1080×1920 pixels) display. In our opinion, it is one of the best displays at this price. The display is quite bright and can also be read in sunlight. Colors are well produced. Text and photos look crisp. The viewing angle does not cause trouble while watching the video. However, the next part of the phone such as a magnet is like a magnet and during the review period we had to repeatedly clean the screen of the phone.

This handset runs on Android 7.0 Nougat based Emigo 4.0 OS. Gionee’s own Emigo OS is quite updated and looks better than before. It also has many Nougat features. The user will get a chance to run several different apps simultaneously with the split screen mode. The setting app is also new, although there is no menu button in the upper left corner.

Gionee A1 Camera
Gionee A1 has been introduced as a selfie smartphone in the market, so start with this. This phone has a 16 -megapixel front camera with autofocus and an LED flash. The camera app also features live filters such as smoothing, whitening, slimming and eye analyzing features that can make more beautiful after taking pictures. Selfies come with vibrates and detailing. Most of the time selfie is fantastic, although we saw excessive color tone in the pictures which looks artificial. Selfies coming from regular selfie, HDR selfie are better. Pictures coming in low light are also good and the quality of pictures coming from the front camera look good in the light. According to the company’s claim, the selfie flash feature works.

The 13-megapixel rear camera given in Gionee A1 comes with a dual-LED flash and aperture F2.0. Sony IMX 258 sensor has been used in it.

A video recording of up to 1080 pixels and 720 pixels can be recorded from the rear camera and the quality is excellent.

The colors of pictures coming from the rear camera are good but these pictures look oversaturated. The camera also takes some time to focus. The quality of photographs taken at night was good. However, when they zoomed them in full size, we saw a little noise and motion blur. Overall, the front and rear camera of Gionee A1 works brilliantly. However, we feel that it needs to do a little better because its important specialty is photography.

Gionee a1 performance
Gionee A1 will not disappoint you in terms of performance and the octa-core processor does most of the work properly. The handset has 4 GB RAM and during our review we found that most of the time is 1.8 GB RAM empty. The fingerprint sensor of Gionee A1 works very well.

Asphalt 8: We played games like Airborn and Dead Effect 2 without any trouble. And we had no problem while playing games or running the app. 5.5 inch screen is good to watch movies and videos. And we liked streaming the show on our Test unit.

We were disappointed as Gionee A1 warmed up most of the time. Only after playing the game for 30 minutes, it seemed inconvenient to catch it. The phone gets hot while using GPS for navigation and talking on the camera app and late phone. After heated several times, our unit was automatically restarted. And this price is not expected from the phone that comes in this price. This problem spoiled our entire experience with the phone.

The Gionee A1 comes with the Maxodio Enhancement, which has claimed to improve the sound of the speaker as well as the earphones. With high volumes, Gionee A1 does not disappoint the earphones coming with the phone are good. Call quality is also excellent and we have no problem in voice quality. Even in areas with slow connectivity and weak Wi-Fi signal, the ability to add smartphones to the network of smartphones affected us.

Gionee A1 also scored a great score in the benchmark test. But with this price, we have also seen a better score than Gionee A1 in another smartphone.

Gionee A1’s battery performance does not disappoint and is one of the biggest features of the phone. The handset has a 4010 mAh non-removable battery and supports fast charging. In 20 minutes of charging, up to 40 percent battery is found and in less than 2 hours the phone is charged up to 100 percent. In our HD video loop test, the phone battery lasted for 14 hours and 45 minutes. At the same time, the phone battery lasted for more than 36 hours at the time of normal use. At the same time, the phone’s battery with little use remained up to 20 percent, even after running for 45-48 hours.

Our decision
Gionee A1 is a good option in this price and its magnificent texture and design won our heart. Battery performance is very spectacular and camera quality is also good. The heat of the phone is the biggest problem and customers will have to face this problem while using the phone, which is a bit inconvenient. The phone runs on Android 7.0 Nougat, which gives it a little more numbers from us but the software disappoints.

Gionee A1 will be sold at Amazon India and offline retail stores. The company has started taking pre-orders for Gionee A1 from 31 March. And on every booking, the company is offering free JBL Headphones or Swiss Military Bluetooth speakers with a two -year warranty.

Vivo Y55S Design and Texture
The Y55S is equipped with a simple candor design with 2.5D curved edge-glass on the front. The phone has a soft gold finish on the rear. This phone looks like an iPhone which is nothing new for Chinese manufacturers. The thickness of the phone is 7.5 mm and weight is 147.9 grams. The small size of the phone makes it easy to hold in hand and all the buttons also remain in access. The phone has a separate microSD card slot with the headphone jack.

The 5.2 inch HD display comes with a fine high pixel density, making the icons and texts look clear. Color reproduction is quite good and we had no problem using the phone in viewing angle or sunlight. The Y55S already comes with a screen protector.

The phone does not have the capacitive navigation button backllate given below nor the phone has a notification LED. But you can use rear LED flash for incoming calls, messages and reminders when you are screen off. The absence of fingerprint sensor in the phone is disappointing.

Overall, we do not have much complaints with the design and design of the phone but it did not attract us. The design of the phone is not new. Vivo has given a standard 5 watt power adapter, a data cable, a headset, a silicone case and a SIM Ejector Tool in the phone.

Vivo Y55S Specification & Feature
This smartphone has a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor that runs at 1.4 GHz. Which can be called a strange election in view of the octa-core Snapdragon 430 processor given in Y55L. The phone has 3 GB RAM and 16 GB storage which can be increased to 256 GB via microSD card. The phone has features like Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi B/G/N, 4G VoLTE, USB OTG, FM Radio and GPS.

Talking about software, the phone has Android Marshmallow based Funtches OS 3.0. Vivo V5 Plus Ke Review Since no change has been made in it. If you have not used a Vivo phone, you will have to learn a little change for all control. For brightness, volume slider and quick togle, one has to swipe upwards on the display while the notification shed can be used only for notifications.

The phone’s setting app offers the option of custom features like motion and touch gesture, one handed mode, super screenshot and smart click.

The screen can be done in half without coming out of the player to message or use WhatsApp while watching a video from smart split. The stock app has Vivo Cloud for backup, UC browser WPS office, Amazon, WhatsApp and a theme store.

Vivo Y55S Performance
General UI performance is good and we had no problem in the phone during everyday use. Multitasking is easily in the phone. However, the choice of entry level processor for big apps and games in the phone did not seem best. Benchmark figures were found properly from the phone. 3D game can install and play in the phone but many big games will down the phone. 16 GB storage is not enough and the storage ends rapidly on downloading music and videos.

1080 pixels videos are easily played in Y55S. And high bit-rate video test files also ran properly. The voice and clarity coming from the speaker is not very good. And the sound quality is fine only for alert. The headset that comes with the phone is not in-ear type, so do not have too much expectations from quality.

The phone has a 13 -megapixel rear camera that comes with aperture F/2.2. Fantastic landscape photos and macro shots can be taken from the phone in daylight. However, zoom in shows a lack of detailing and the closeup shot lacks sharpness. Autofocus occurs rapidly even if there is no PDAF. In low light, pictures come a little noise and the pictures are a little better when the night mode is turned on.

The phone also has shooting modes like face beauty, panorama, professional, slow-motion video, time-laps and ultra HD. The phone’s interface is easy to navigate and it is easy to perform all functions. There is a 5 -megapixel front camera with aperture F/2.2 to take a selfie, which brings selfie with great detailing in good light. However, the screen flash is slightly weak. The rear camera of the phone can cause video recording up to 1080 pixels and the quality is very good.

The 2730 mAh battery performance of the phone shocked us. In our HD video loop test, we got a 12 -hour and 12 -minute playback, which is not very bad. At the time of normal use, we could run the phone throughout the day. At the same time, it took a few hours for the phone to be charged.

Our decision
Vivo Y55S is a great entry-level smartphone but is not able to compete with its rivals. Redmi Note 4, Moto G4 Plus and Honor 6X are better options in this price. The Y55S has good battery life, separate microSD card slot and 4G VoLTE support. But it lacks more powerful processor, a high resolution display, fingerprint sensor and better camera.

If the price of this phone was around Rs 7,000, it could have been advised to buy it. But there are many other better options for Rs 12,490.
