Our Verdict:

Micromax Canvas Xpress A99, priced at Rs.12,815, offers tough competition to smartphones like Android One and Mote E, but we still think that phones like Xiaomi Redmi 1s and Huawei Honor Holly are better value for money products. Moreover, phones like Redmi 2s and Moto E second gen will be arriving soon, which would arguably be even better value for money.

Samsung Galaxy S6 : Removed the Best 2 Features

Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Edge were unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2015 and we might see these phones arriving here in Nepal before the end of April. The Beautiful looking Galaxy S6 has alot of good features to talk about– the 16MP Camera, 5.1 inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display and a fingerprint sensor and many more. But unfortunately, the best feature of Samsung which usually made it behave different from the likes of Apple’s iPhone were the features like removable battery and the memory expansion slot. This used to be a features which made Samsung somewhat different from Apple’s iPhone. But will removing these features haunt Samsung? We leave the question to be answered upto you via this poll:

[socialpoll id=”2257000″]

Expansion Slot:

Even though Samsung offers six different models variant (32GB base, 64GB, 128GB) for both Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge it is a frustration to user not to have a expansion slot. We personally believe this set back can be a strategy to get the most out of cloud storage.

Removable Battery:

For people who carried spare battery to power up their smartphone, It is a disappointment because Samsung now planned to remove the removable battery option. One of the best feature Samsung could boast about was a removable option of a battery.That also means you can’t carry around an extra battery to swap in case you run out of juice.

Removal of a microSD card slot and a non Removable battery brings the Samsung Galaxy S6 closer together with Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Read More about Samsung Galaxy S6 : Click Here

It unibody design consists of Gorilla glass 3 on the front and rear. The body has grooved sides, something Gionee calls a U-shaped skeleton. It is a dual sim phone with 4G LTE capability. The 2,750mAh battery of the Gionee Elife S7 is aided by a number of power-saving features based on its research. It is powered by Mediatek’s new 64-but 1.7Ghz octa core processor with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage.

**Gionee Elife S7 comes in three colors: Black, White and Blue.**

Display

S7 contains a 5.2” AMOLED screen with 1080p resoulution and 294ppi. Which means improved brightness,higher saturation, Its ACL technology is said to reduce the power usage by 25%. It uses Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to protect against scratches, which is always a bonus to have on any phone.

**Gionee’s new Amigo 3.0 with Android Lollipop**

Software and Performance

On the software front, it is the first phone to come with Gionee’s new Amigo 3.0 user interface that is based on the latest Android 5.0 . The device is powered by MediaTek MT6752 chipset which is made up of a 64-bit processor with eight 1.7GHz Cortex-A53 cores and Mali-T760 GPU with 2GB of RAM. The HPM technology enables the processors to run at a high speed. So the performance on this phone would be smooth with very few lags here and there.

Camera

Photography has become an essential things for all the smartphone users. A great camera means a great phone and s7 is no exception here. It comes with a 13MP rear camera with Gionees new “image+” image processing system which enables the phone to capture 6 pictures in 1 second which is really impressive. Whats even more impressive is that it can capture a picture with only 500 milliseconds, and its focus time is only 300 milliseconds. On the front it has a 8MP selfie camera.

With the built-in tailor-made speaker and Smart PA, users can enjoy music accompanied by louder and richer sounds, bringing a home theater system like experience to an ultra slim phone with DTS audio enhancement.

Battery Life

The main thing that gionee has focused on this smartphone is its battery life. Gionee has added a lot of optimization to this phone for better battery life with its 2750MAh battery. The battery is non-removable. ACL technology used in its display reduces power consumption by 25%. There’s also a Dark theme, which further drops power draw by 30% compared to the default theme. A new sensor hub enables the CPU to wake up 20% less. Gionee estimates it has improved battery life by 32% and the phone should go for two days. Gionee has also include a extreme mode in case of emergencies, which restricts the phone features and gives 33hours of standby by freezing functions except calling and text messages to ensure basic communications on just 10% of battery. Clearly a lot of work has been put into this phone for a longer battery life. This phone has broken the stereotype that a thinner phone always has a poor battery life.
