    Android Yuphoria v/s Redmi 2

    Going by the threads on MIUI forums, it seems most people measure phone performance by amount of free RAM which leads to developers configure the ROM to aggressively terminate apps by default. One negative about Redmi 2 (prime) is that kernel sources have not been released so stable custom...

    Android Help Needed: Facing Galaxy S5 green screen issues.

    Samsung service has gotten worse, the service centre I went to refused to take the phone as it was in warranty and they only did paid repairs. After calling Samsung customer care I discovered that the place was no longer an authorised service centre but Samsung had neglected to update their...

    0-10K Want smartphone upto 10K - How about Lenovo K3 Note

    I tried the phone (a colleague bought it) and it was impressive for a phone in its price range. Smooth UI, responsive touchscreen and according to my colleague, no connectivity issues. It's definitely a big step up from Micromax / Karbonn / Lava.

    Full HD 42-47" inch TV for Rs.55,000: purchased LG 42LB5820

    Off the top of my head I can remember it couldn't play DTS audio or switch audio tracks in a multi-audio MKV file. It also had a problem with a MP4 file which had supported codecs (as far as the manual goes) but I don't remember the details. TataSky has very few channels in HD, if those are the...

    Full HD 42-47" inch TV for Rs.55,000: purchased LG 42LB5820

    I bought the LG 42LB5610 last year around Diwali (other options were Samsung 40H5100 and Sony 40R428B). LG 42LB5610 (47k offline) - Cheapest option at that time, marginally larger screen than competitors and Diwali gift was a DVD player (lying unused) plus 2 year warranty. Wall mount...

    Android What is Moto X's Google Now advantage over other phone's Google Now?

    I disabled Moto Voice since I found it usable only while driving. In other scenarios if your phone is not in reach then it's also too far to hear you saying the launch phrase (unless you shout).

    Android What is Moto X's Google Now advantage over other phone's Google Now?

    It works with the screen off, in most cases it will just launch Google Voice search and pass on your command to it, see more here. Just like Moto Display's advantages being reduced by Ambient Display, Moto Voice isn't as useful as it was last year.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 launched in India for Rs. 58300

    Is this phone being sold online at any reputable sites, I thought Samsung was against banning online sales. My friend went to a Samsung store where it's (understandably) priced at 58300. They told him it's an octa core Snapdragon processor (Samsung India site suspiciously omits processor...

    Discussion on brick and mortar stores

    I always assumed that DMart buys in bulk from distributors and that enables them to source products at a lower price (bulk discount). I'm no expert on how retail works but if it's a free market then wouldn't that entitle dealers (either online or B&M) to negotiate prices with distributors. If...
