    CPU/Mobo Asus H87 pro and some questions

    You will save barely 500-700 bucks plus you will have to cart it around and yes no warranty will be available here. Buying a CPU is less of a hassle since CPUs rarely die quickly BUT UK is one of the worst places to pick up computer stuff thanks to the high exchange rate. Best to pick up both...

    15-20K Suggest a phone - Sony Xperia L vs Huawei G700 vs Lenovo P780

    If no gaming, why not consider a WP8 device ? The Lumia 720 is a pretty good phone. Best camera in its class and smooth performance. Battery life is also extremely good but its not an overtly large phone.

    CPU/Mobo Rs. 6000 under AMD AM3+ mobo with usb 3, sata3 !

    The thing is Gigabyte was using Digicomp earlier which was good but they have shifted to Accel which is crap. So while ASUS has improved their serice support by migrating to Digicomp, Gigabyte's service support has gone down. I too used a Gigabyte board for 5 years without any problems but the...

    Vivo Xplay 3S to be the first phone to have a 1440p resolution screen

    While I don't have any use for such a high resolution phone this can only be good news. with such high res displays coming out I can see 720p coming to phones < 10k soon. The Moto G has already started the ball rolling and others should follow suit soon.

    CPU/Mobo Weird problem | EDIT : Solved

    Sad to hear ithat you continue to face hassles at Gigabyte considering they are a top teir mbd brand. I had to pick up my ASUS board from RMA and again I spent a total of max 10 minutes at their outsourced service center. I think Gigabyte needs to take a hard decision to chance their RMA partner.

    CPU/Mobo Weird problem | EDIT : Solved

    Damn. Feel really bad to hear so much hassles to RMA a motherboard. Went to ASUS for an RMA and I spent not more than 15 mins at the service center. The board was sent to bangalore for repair and it came back in 10 days flat. The service center even smsed that the board was back from RMA. I...

    10-15K Hard-working Android phone

    Yes but do note that for Google you can also purchase Sygic maps for ZERO rupees and you get free India maps which is again not as good as Google Maps but its offline. However thats only for India and abroad you will have to buy a data connection to use Google Maps. For the Lumia 520 the app...

    10-15K Hard-working Android phone

    Here maps isn't as good as Gmaps BUT Here maps is offline maps and doesn't require data to work. I have gotten lost on a trip to Rajasthan in a place with no network and the locals couldn't understand English or my broken Hindi. Offline maps came to the rescue and I was back on track. Plus...

    10-15K Hard-working Android phone

    If you aren't too much into apps then the Lumia 520 is the way to go. Static maps, lag free performance, great screen and decent camera. Only real negative is the lack of apps but for a casual user it has plenty.

    10-15K Hard-working Android phone

    Sony Xperia M also comes to mind. Good specs but average 5 MP camera.

    15-20K Dual-Sim phone, crisp display, good battery life, gorilla glass a bonus!

    The Lenovo P780 seems to be a good bet. Battery life is amazing on that device. No idea how good Lenovo is on service but it can't be worse than Micromax. Would advise you to stay away from Micromax at this price range. They are OK for 5k - 10k phones but at this price level I would recommend...

    BlackBerry Z30 Launched In India At Rs 39,990

    IMO they really need to rationalize the prices of their phones. They currently have plants in Canada, Hungary and Mexico where the costs to make phones are higher. They need to shift to China as currently the fault rates of their phones are high which makes the whole point of using quality...

    10-15K LG Optimus L9 or Xperia L

    ^^ Actually the S3 performs a little worse than the SP especially in games as the Mali 400 is a bit long in the tooth. Of course in real world apps I doubt anyone will tell the difference but the SP newer chipset actually outperforms the S3. If gaming is a priority then the S3 is a no no. In...

    BlackBerry Z30 Launched In India At Rs 39,990

    @haresh - He he, of course not ! I was a big BB fan but come on, 40k will get me the best Android flagships with Snapdragon 800, full HD screens etc etc and BB was known for their QWERTY keypads which is not really available on Android or iOS. So why would anyone in their right mind pay 40k...

    10-15K LG Optimus L9 or Xperia L

    Battery life is bad and also Nexus is discontinued so makes little sense getting it now. Either wait for Nexus 5 or get the SP. Sp is decent and has enough juice to run most everything available at highest settings today but its not very future proof and later games and apps could trouble the...

    10-15K LG Optimus L9 or Xperia L

    The Sony and the LG both lack a good quality cam. Both have good processors and RAM but the Xperia doesn't have good viewing angles. Music quality is decent from both phones. The Xperia is smaller and the LG is slightly larger due to the bigger screen but surprisingly the Xperia is the...

    BlackBerry Z30 Launched In India At Rs 39,990

    40k and still 1280x720 res screen. Does BB even want to make money again ?

    Which GSM carrier/network to choose for better data speeds (mumbai)

    I used Reliance 3G for a long time till I ported to Vadapavphone. (Vodafones Indian arm). Reliance 3G speeds were great. No complaints at all but their voice network was horrible. So many places I went within Mumbai where network was unavailable and lots of other small niggles with their...

    Micromax A250 Canvas Turbo Sketch Reveals A 5" 1080 Display

    ^^ How can you say that ? According to specs Gionee E6 lacks important software enhancements like 'Blow to Unlock' and most importantly any endorsement from Hugh Jackman, :D
