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...

Honor doing some Magic in the laptop industry!!

We've seen Honor's amazing mid-range smartphones in India which provide incredible value for money. But after the ban of Google on their smartphones, there is surely a dip in their sales in the smartphone industry. However, they've come up with something new to India's market: Laptops (Ultrabook)

There was  ZERO expectation of Honor entering the laptop industry. But they've entered it to create HAVOC. Honor recently launched its Magicbook 15 in India, which I feel is one of the best deals right now. Honor entered the Laptop market in India at a perfect time when people were in maximum need of it with the introduction of online classes and WFH (Work From Home).

Specifications :

I'm not going to waste your time by listing everything. Just some highlights :

  • The performance powered by the Ryzen 5 processor is phenomenal. This coupled with 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and Vega 8 Graphics, gives you a buttery smooth experience with day to day tasks. It can also handle intensive tasks with ease. Overall, it provides you with a great experience with day-to-day tasks and casual games, but not AAA titles.

  • As the name suggests, it has a 15'' display with a resolution of 1920x1080. The display here isn't the best, but it's quite good, at least better than a few of the competitors.
  • The main highlight here is the form factor: It weighs just 1.5 KG even after packing a heavy CPU and aluminium build. 
  • The cause for dip in sales of Honor Smartphones was that there was no Google. But here, there's nothing like that. It comes with Windows 10 onboard and you are safe to go with it. No adware, no extra apps, nothing. Just clean Windows 10.
  • After the lockdown being imposed, there's a  significant increase in video-conferencing. And for this, it has a webcam which pops out from one of the keys on the keyboard, which is quite COOL.
  • Honor claims that it can be charged up to 53% in just half an hour through the 65W charger. 
  • To increase security, it has Windows Hello, that allows one to use fingerprint to unlock the PC. The fingerprint sensor is located on the Power Button, which makes it quite comfortable and not off reach. 
Finally, coming to  PRICING: The Honor Magic Book 15 is priced at 42,500 INR, which is just mind-blowing.
THIS IS A MUST BUY FOR ONES WANTING A MID-RANGE, ALL-ROUNDER ULTRABOOK.

2020 8th Gen iPads: Can it replace your current PC?

 In the Second Apple event this year, the new generation iPads were launched featuring massive upgrades , which wasn't quite expected. The iPad 10.2 8th Gen and the iPad Air were launched in that event, both of which have featured in my previous blog ( Check it out here if you haven't yet ). Which one's the best value among them (including the Pro) and can it replace your laptop / consider it for your new laptop? Know it here:  Here's a bit about the iPad 10.2 Inch 8th Gen: Image Courtesy: Apple Powered by the A12 Bionic , which featured in the iPhone XS, XS Max and iPhone XR, was considered a very efficient and extremely powerful and capable chipset. Here too, the iPad 10.2 Inch 8th Gen delivers and it flies over our expectation. The A12 Bionic, along with the verywell optimised iPadOS , outperforms most budget laptops.  I'm saying this because, most budget PCs struggle to get past Video Editing.  It's " Cake Walk " for the iPad.  .
