Micromax Canvas Play Q355 Launched in Nepal for Rs. 13,642

0

Pashupati Trade Link, the authorised distributors of Micromax smartphones in Nepal, has officially launched Micromax Canvas Play Q355 in Nepal for Rs.13,642. Canvas Play is an entry-level smartphone that comes with a huge 5.5-inch screen and Android Lollipop out of the box.

Talking about the specs, it boasts a 5.5-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels. Under the hood, the phone comes with a quad-core MediaTek Cortex A7 processor running at a frequency of 1.3Ghz, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of inbuilt storage that can be expanded via a microSD card slot up to 32GB. It houses a 5MP back camera with LED flash and VGA front facing snapper.

Connectivity wise, Canvas Play Q355 is equipped with Dual SIM with 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and A-GPS. The phone is powered by a Li-Ion 2820 mAh battery, which according to the company provides a talk time of 10hrs and a standby time of 10 days. The phone is currently available for purchase from different Micromax outlets all across the nation. It is available in blue and white colour options.

During the launch event, Pashupati Trade Link claimed the Micromax Canvas Play Q355 boasts the latest technology, sleek designs and one of the best cameras one can find in a smartphone. But looking at the specs and during our hands-on time, it’s hard to support their claim. The screen, despite possessing a big display, comes with WXVGA resolution and is the worst we have seen in a while. Moreover, the rear and the front snapper picture quality lacks in detail and colour accuracy. The performance of Micromax Canvas Play Q355 is smooth thanks to the quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM, but still isn’t the best when it comes to multitasking and playing games.

Recently, Micromax stunned the tech market with the launch of Yu Yureka Plus smartphone. Priced at just INR.10,000, it features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 615 2nd gen processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, 13/5MP cameras, 2500mAh battery, dual-SIM support, and Cyanogen 12 OS based on the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.

Microsoft Cortana Beta Leaked for Android

0

Microsoft Cortana was creating a lot of hype with the promise to support for the android platform. Microsoft was set to launch the beta version of Cortana later this month, but an early beta version has been leaked on the internet.

Cortana is a very powerful digital assistance which is a clear competition for Google Now and Siri and is even better than them in some aspects. It looks just like the miniature version of Cortana from Widows 10 if you’ve been using it.

Untitled-1

This is the beta version so a lot of features are missing from the official app including the “Hey Cortana” hot word to activate voice search. It can help you do almost every task that you do with Google Now like making reminders, taking notes, calling, scheduling stuff, location based news and many more.

Give Cortana a try and tell us how you feel.

The Unhackable-Unbreakable “Turing Phone”

0

Privacy and durability are two of the major things that we lack in our smartphones today. Privacy is one of the most feared and  essential things ever considered with serious cases of data leaks now and again. And there’s always that fear of dropping our phone and damaging it, cause it’s fragile. Well it’s all about to change as Turing Robotic Industries has revealed the phone which they claim is Unhackable, Unbreakable and Waterproof. This phone is named as the Turing Phone which might turn tables in the smartphone industry.

TuringPhoneSide-932x583

This is a 5.5 inch android smartphone, which is made out of material called liquidmorphium which is stronger than steel and aluminum, which were also used in small quantities in iPhone 6 models. This phone has no USB port and headphone jacks which seems really odd for smartphone to lack. It also has nano coating on its internals for water proofing which means water can get inside your internals but you can get rid of it by just shaking it off and phone will be good to use again. This is possible as every part of the phone is accessible and can be opened.

TuringPhoneFrontBack-932x583

This phone is accessible with the use of fingerprint on the side. Handset has end-to-end encryption in most of its built in apps and also cryptocurrency. So this is literally the maximum security we can have on our smartphones now.

Specifications of Turing Phone:

  • 5.5 inch HD (1080×1920 pixel) display
  • Runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop
  • Fingerprint Scanner
  • 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 Chipset
  • 3GB RAM
  • 16/32/64GB Internal Storage with no Expansion
  • 13MP Rear Camera and 5MP front Camera
  • Non-removable 3000mAh battery.

This phone will be ready for pre-order from July 31st and will cost $610 for 16GB model which is a hefty price you have to pay for your privacy. We may rarely see this device here in Nepal. But it has raised the bar for other smartphone manufacturers and we might see other similar devices in the near future.
