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...

October 13 : A Big One!

The title for this one might be a bit peculiar, but it's really going to be a BIG day (In the tech world). Why?
Apple is launching its iPhone 12 lineup, which was one of the most anticipated phone of the year. As always, their launch is going to be simplest of all. And ZERO hype is created by Apple, just a simple poster with the caption, "Hi, Speed."

Here are some of it's EXPECTED highlights:

  • 4 Variants: iPhone 12 (May also be called as iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max
  • The difference between the Pro and the Non-Pro will be in the performance and the cameras, with the Pro variant having a higher hand. 
  • A14 on the non-Pro and a more powerful one on the Pros. This time, with most smartphone manufacturers trying to be future-proof, so is Apple. The iPhone 12 might have a 5G modem built-in with that monstrous A14 Bionic. 
  • The same AMAZING glass build with an aluminium frame. 
  • And as the legacy continues, even the iPhone 12s will have a really good LG display, maybe a higher refresh rate this time. Even if not, the displays on iPhones have always been great and you can surely expect the same this time as well. 
  • The cameras: The non-Pro variants might have a dual-camera setup and the Pro variants having a triple-camera setup and probably a LiDar sensor as well. And all these cameras are by Sony, which is known for exceptional cameras and it's the same case here.

So,  those were some of the EXPECTED specs of the upcoming iPhone 12 lineup. I'll also be uploading another blog once they're launched.
 This too was a short one, hope you liked it :)

5G Bands! : Which one should your smartphone have?

There are many brands out there selling smartphones with the 5G naming/sticker. That’s of course because the smartphone would have a built-in 5G modem. But wait, just a modem doesn’t make it 5G capable. You’ve got to have bands supporting the frequency that’s provided in the country.  Image Courtesy: Unsplash So, to explain in simple terms, it’s like having a basket’s diameter a little more than the ball’s, in basketball. If the ball’s got to enter the basket, it’s(the basket) surely got to have a greater diameter. It’s the same here. Specific bands are required for specific frequencies. Here’s what you’ve got to be aware of: 5G, in India will most probably start rolling out with 3.3GHz frequency, ‘ initially ’. And the only band that supports this frequency is the n78 . If the smartphone you’re looking to buy has got the n78 band, you can go for it, at your own risk. And I say that because the frequency spectrum isn’t quite confirmed yet. What you’ve not got to do is buy a 5G capa...
