Pros and Cons of Huawei Google Nexus 6P

Pros and Cons of Huawei Google Nexus 6P (32GB/Silver)


Pros:

1. Camera performance is amazing but lacks manual control. Slow motion video @240fps in 720p is something interesting feature to look for. UHD video also gave good results.
Photos look more natural with HDR+ feature enabled.

2. OS: as always my love towards android is ever increasing. With Marshmallow it runs smoothly and performs amazingly with great features. App switching is now made more fun with nice and smooth animation. With Nexus brand you get to enjoy all the future Android updates and new releases along with regular security updates. What's more is its stock Android experience, so install only what you want and no unwanted apps forcefully fed into your smartphone.

3. Phone features: the best thing I liked about this device is surprisingly it's signal catching capability. A phone however smart it is should serve the most basic feature which is calling. Haven't experienced call drops at all, compared to my earlier smartphone experience I'm too much satisfied with the signal catching capability.

4. Design and the outer body looks strong and flagship.

5. Processor: Runs on SD 810, which has 8 cores with up to 2ghz speed. Switching between apps, scrolling and games play very smoothly. Tried Asphalt 8 and angry birds 2 no lag while playing.
2k videos on YouTube plays smoothly without buffering, thanks to its Wi-Fi 5ghz support.
Google Chromecast finally plays without freezing, although it now freezes rarely.

6. GPS and Navigation: something which I use most and faced lot of issues with my previous phones. All the GPS lovers have great news here. This device is the best I've seen for catching GPS position and locking the position is also quick and locks for long time doesn't release saying "GPS signal lost". It took about a minute to find out gps position on Google maps without internet connection. Without phone signal also it catches the position and locks it continuously, thanks to its GPS antenna, GLONASS and inbuilt compass.

7. Sensors: It has all the sensors which you can have on your smartphone. Fingerprint sensor, Ambient light sensor, Accelerometer, Proximity sensor, Barometer, Hall sensor, Gyroscope, Android Sensor Hub, Digital Compass, GPS, Magnetic field sensor,
VR ready, fully functional inbuilt Google Fit app.

8. Battery: Supports quick charging. It takes about 90mins to fully charge. With battery saver mode you can keep the phone on for longer times. It's 3450 mAh battery is enough to run up to 2 days under moderate usage.

9. Network reception is one of the main features of the phone. Although tried only on 3G, yet to test on 4G. In my earlier experience with the same SIM, internet speeds were very slow and was hard to even open Facebook sometimes. But with Nexus 6P internet speeds and connectivity have increased many folds.

10. Cinematic Experience: Ideal for watching movie with big display of 5.7 inch screen, 2k resolution and dual front stereo speakers.

11. Multitasking: tried switching between multiple apps and it worked well with switching between flipkart, Keep, Chrome, Facebook and Google Play. It opened where I left previously. But when tried switching after a long time, then it reloaded the page.


Cons:

1. Heating: Heats up quickly when using performance intensive apps, like Asphalt 8, or camera or screen cast to TV or watching Hi-Res videos.

2. It has a single SIM slot.

3. No inbuilt FM radio

4. No expandable memory, so mass storage for movies and photos is limited to phone memory.

5. RAM on an average gives me about 1.2 GB free. I've installed about 50 apps from Google store. Google should have thought at least 4 GB RAM considering the fast developments in smartphone industry.

6. Camera app features has very basic options without any manual control. Although third party apps can be installed, we always prefer the inbuilt app for camera.

7. Single Hand operation: Display at 5.7" is a bit huge to hold in one hand and operate

8. Fragile to handle as it has rear Camera area projected outside with glass material and is also slippery due to its smooth metallic cover.

9. Have to carry your own charger or USB cable, as it has Type C USB cable so cannot be borrowed with other make micro-USB chargers.

10. Display turns yellowish with lower brightness, however at higher brightness it looks perfectly.

11. SIM Ejector: To remove the SIM you require the pin SIM ejector(provided in Box), which you may not carry always.

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...

Trip to the Misty Hills of Kudremukh

Trip to the Misty Hills of Kudremukh: About Kudremukh: Kudremukh National Park is the second largest protected wildlife area in the Western Ghats (around 600 sq.kms). Three important rivers of Karnataka, the Tunga, Bhadra and Netravathi are said to have their origin in this area. Mist covered roads in Kudremukh All these can be reached within 80km. We first started with sringeri, which is famous for its Vidyashankara temple built in1342 AD. Reached Sringeri at 11am. There is a bridge Sri Vidya Teertha Setu across the Tunga river which connects from Vidyashankara temple to Sringeri Mutt. We had prasadam (lunch) at the mutt. There is one more temple called as Sharadamba temple which has lovely architecture built inside and photography is banned inside. The whole temple area is kept very clean and it was a pleasant experience to spend time in the temple complex. We then left at 12.30pm towards Kudremukh.

Masinagudi Jungle Trails : A Road Trip to Nilgiris

Masinagudi Jungle Trails : A Road Trip to Nilgiris - II All set and packed for a long road trip to Ooty, left Bangalore late at 8am. What to pack for a long road trips?? Click here The motive of the road trip was to voyage around less explored and adventurous places, rather than popular and easily accessible tourist destinations. To avoid Mysore traffic, we tried to explore another route from Mandya through Somnathapura to Nanjangud, but it turned out to be more tiring and longer route. We reached Bandipur forest check post only by 2pm. Driving through Bandipur forest is a pleasure, with good road conditions, greenery around and spotting wildlife was more exciting. In an intention to spot wildlife, and to maintain silence in the forest, we were driving steadily at 15kmph speed without using horn. We could spot a lot of deer herds, elephants, black bear, boar, Grey Langur monkeys and peacocks.  Peacock spotted on the Bandipur Mudumalai stretch Elephant...
