iQOO 3 : Worth buying in 2021?

iQOO, for those of you who don’t know, is a subsidiary of Chinese manufacturer Vivo, whose Parent company, in-turn is BBK Electronics. The first smartphone that iQOO launched here in India was the iQOO 3 , which quite surprisingly launched at a good price, considering what it came packed with. It was launched at 37K INR. But in a year’s time, the price’s has dropped significantly. It currently retails at 25K on Flipkart . iQOO 3 Shot on iPhone 5s (Blogger compression killed it -_-)  Having got it on Flipkart, I’ve been using the iQOO 3 for about two weeks now and here’s my review of the same.  Performance The iQOO 3’s got 2020’s flagship SoC, Snapdragon 865 . And just like any other flagship chip, this too performs exceptionally well. Day-to-day tasks are child’s play and graphically intensive tasks too are handled really well. For me, who previously used the Redmi 7, with the Snapdragon 632, this feels so much faster. What betters the experience is the 8 Gigabytes of DDR5 RAM...

iPhone 12 : All you need to know!

In the past few days, we've got to see many leaks/renders of the iPhone 12. Leaks show many surprising aspects of the new iPhone. Let's check them out : The Size : In most of the leaks, we can see that the size of the iPhone is small, compared to what other smartphone brands are coming up with (6.9 inches ; 7 inches). The size of the base variant may be similar to the SE 2020, but without the bezels. It might have the same notch as the 11 or XR (iPhone Standard). The size here is small most probably because they might launch 2 other variants with a larger screen/body.    Image Courtesy : Forbes  The Cameras : After looking at the camera setup through the leaks, we might get into a misconception that it  has a Quad-Camera Setup.
