Top 10 other apps on Google Play:

Apart from these basic apps, Google has stopped supporting some of there most useful apps like the Gallery, Video Player, etc., So here is the Top 10 free apps on Google Play, which are very must useful for every day usage.

10. Cameringo Lite. Effects Camera

If you think the inbuilt camera app is not giving enough options, then I would suggest you install the Cameringo Lite.

8. Piktures - Beautiful Gallery

3. ES File Explorer File Manager
Developer: ES Global
Category: Productivity
Android 6.0.1 doesnt offer any inbuilt File explorer app (apart from the one which can be browsed through the settings), nevertheless ES File Explorer offers most relavent features and is very light weight app.

 2. YouCam Perfect - Selfie Pro
Developer: Perfect Corp.
Category: Photography
Most of the default cameras offer very less options for beautification, especially the smartphones with stock Android or the Google Camera app. Less to worry, "YouCam Perfect - Selfie Pro" offers most of these missing features along with quality photo output. Selfie Blink Fix is one impressive feature in this app and works great.

 1. MX Player
Developer: J2 Interactive
Category: Media & Video
Most important app which i feel Android is missing out is the Video player. MX Player is the most popular app in the market for playing almost any video format and large size files. MX Player is becoming increasingly popular and a must have app on every smartphone. It also supports subtitle.

Micromax Canvas 2 A110 Hands on Review

Micromax Superfone Canvas 2 A110(Jet Black/Calm White): After using it for a week, I felt pretty good about my decision for going with a new brand like Micromax over the mighty Samsung Galaxy S Duos and Sony Tipo Dual. Particularly not sure about its reliability but the build quality looks pretty decent. Below are my ratings for the phone aka Phablet. Build Quality (8/10): The build quality was above my expectations keeping in mind of the price tag, from front it looks just like a Galaxy high end smartphone like SIII or Note II. It has a matte finished back cover which is good for protection towards scratches and there is a metal casing all around the phone, which adds up the beauty of the phone. One more advantage of this phone is it has a touch home button instead of a hard button as seen in iPhone and Galaxy phones. Camera (5/10): [8MP autofocus (Tap to Focus), dual flash, supports up to 3264x2448 pixels, Panorama] Don't fall for the specs as it is said...

Bird watching tour to Davanagere - Part I

Birding in Davanagere - Part I Water Birds: With not much expectations headed for bird watching in Davangere, but what turned out later was an extravaganza of our beloved winged friends. A colony of Black-winged Stilt There is a reason why I had less expectations, we usually hear from bird watchers in and around Bengaluru and have rarely heard of a city such as Davanagere for bird spotting. Winter is the best time for bird watching in Davanagere as the winged guests from far across the Himalayas visit here in search of food and tropical climate. Was expecting to spot the migratory bar headed goose and waders along with the resident Kingfishers, Munias, Weaver bird, and Coucal. Though couldn't witness some of them but ended up spotting over 50 species of birds. A little knowledge about these birds and a lots of patience can help spot many of these with a binocular or a camera with 250 mm lens. Compared to birds in Bengaluru, here the birds were very shy and not used to ...
