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...

Moto G 5G! : Should you consider the Cheapest 5G Smartphone?

Recently, Motorola launched its first 5G phone,the Moto G 5G. This time, Moto, going back to the 'g' series, could see the 'real' comeback of Moto. The previous Moto 'g' series smartphones were one of the best offerings in the market. So, what's the Moto G 5G got to offer and should you consider it while buying a new smartphone?
Find out here:

NOTE: This blog is totally based on on-paper specs, which is expected to be close to the real-life experience.
Here are some of its highlights:

Performance:

Moto G 5G is the first ever smartphone to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 750G Processor, which, according to Motorola, is quite capable to competing the Snapdragon 765G (Present on OnePlus' Nord).
The Snapdragon 750G has got a 5G Modem built-in, meaning it could get you amazing internet speeds, if you've got access to 5G networks.
The 5G Modem, can also get you better 4G speeds, giving it a upper hand when compared to the 4G modems.
As Motorola claims, the 750G keeps up the expectations, easing through day-to-day tasks and also handling graphically intensive tasks like gaming. The 6GB RAM adds on to the good experience.

Display:

The Moto G 5G comes packed with a massive 6.7 inch IPS LCD 60Hz display, with a resolution of FHD+ (Which Motorola calls "Max Vision display) and support for HDR 10, meaning it can show more colors.
Though display being really good for media consumption, doesn't impress when it comes to one-hand usage, thanks to its huge size.

Battery:

Motorola has crammed in a 5000mAh battery here, making it quite a hefty phone (doesn't look though), weighing 212g. This, coupled with the 20W Fast Charger (which Motorola calls TurboPower charging) in the box, makes it a really good deal.

Cameras:

Moto G 5G has got a Triple-Camera setup, making it one of the very few ones having it: A 48-Megapixel Primary, an 8-Megapixel Ultrawide and a 2-Megapixel Macro. Luckily, there is no 2-Megapixel dept sensor :). Looking at Moto's previous performance when it comes to cameras, this is going to do a decent job.

Software:

One of the main highlights of the Moto G 5G is its Software. While companies are opting to add their own skins on top of Android, Moto's chosen to go with Stock Android with very minor tweaks (My UX is what they call it), allowing bit of customization. This places it way higher than the competition.

Extras:

And oh yes, the legacy continues. Moto's retained NFC on the Indian variant too, as always :), meaning you could totally harness NFC's advantages (Contact-less payment, instant pairing with devices)

Pricing:

The only variant available right now, is 6GB RAM + 128GB Storage, priced at 20,999 INR.
A GREAT DEAL!
It can be bought through Flipkart, here

Having listed all of these, I would blindly recommend you to consider this while buying a new phone around this price range.
And this isn't the only intension of the blog. I want to make people aware of brands like Motorola, which are really UNDERRATED.

Hope you liked it :)

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.  .

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)           Image Courtesy: Gizmochina 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.
