Following the success of its preceding smartphones, Touchkon has been able to establish itself in the Nepalese smartphone space as a player that offers one of the best value for its customers’ money Touchkon introduced the M602 a couple of weeks ago at ICT electronics and Branding Expo. We had a chance to play with this device for couple of hours .So, let’s check on our article what’s special about the new phone.
Product Features:
Dual Sim with 3G
5 inches IPS LCD screen with 720 x 1280 resolution (294ppi)
Quad Core 1.2 GHz MT6589 Processor
1 GB RAM
8 GB inbuilt memory; Memory Card up to 64GB
13 MP Rear Camera with flash; 8 MP Front Camera
Android, v4.2
Connectivity:, BT 3.0, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Hotspot
Sensor: Gravitation, Proximity, light
2000 mAh battery
MRP Price: Rs.27,199
Touchkon has been successful in imitating the Huawei P6 design. Thankfully, with the M602, things have changed for the better. The front is dominated by the 5-inch 1280x720p display and with IPS panel and OGS technology; display is vibrant and not overly saturated. The aluminum back is classy and feels premium.
The quad-core Mediatek chipset and Android v4.2 Jelly Bean together make it a decent Android smartphone with smooth performance. But with the price tag of Rs.27000, we expect it to have a Snapdragon processor.
M602 scores 17000 in Antutu Benchmark
The 13MP camera does not automatically put this camera at par with the S4 or the Sony Xperia Z. The images looked good on the phone, nothing spectacular. The 8MP front facing camera however, does a decent job.The 2000mAh battery doesn’t look eye pleasing but we need to check the battery performance.
A brief look of the handling of device is shown in the video below:
CUT TO THE CHASE
Touchkon M602 is good, but there is nothing to justify the price tag. With a price of 27000,you can get MotoG 16GB version or Huawei ascend G700. However,the build quality and design is the best under 30K category.
When it comes to buying a smartphone under 10K, you have to sacrifice a lot on the specs but Lava made it clear that this won’t be an issue. Under Rs.10000, you normally get a poor VGA screen, single core processor & a 256 MB of RAM but Lava launched a smartphone “Iris 406q” that sports a 4-inch screen with powerful Snapdragon Quad-core processor and 1 GB of RAM for a price of INR 6500( NRP 10000).
Connectivity: BT 4.0 with A2DP, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Hotspot
Sensor: Accelerometer, Proximity
Battery: 1700mAh
Pros:
Best phone Under 10K
Quad-core processor at low price
KitKat update Guarantee
Cons:
Average Camera performance
Build quality
The benchmark score says it all about Lava Iris 406 Q. It scores 16488 in Antutu,8277 in Quadrant and 58.8 FPS in NenaMark2. It outperforms smartphones like S3 and Nexus 4!! WOW!! Because of Snapdragon 200 processor and Adreno 302 GPU, the performance will be smooth.We have a 4-inch display which might not be bigger for some users though. It packs a 1700 mAh battery which should do more than enough.We also have a 5MP shooter with LED flash. The camera performance is good considering its price tag.
WHEN WILL IT ARRIVE IN NEPAL?
CG digital is the official distributors of Lava mobiles and we have urged them to bring this wonderful device here in Nepal.We will inform you about the availability and the price as soon as possible.
Google is trying to connect the online and offline worlds with a new feature in Google. Now Google alerts the user if you walk near a product you’ve researched online.
If you always wanted a pair of Timberland boots but had not bought it now if you are near a store Google alerts you with a Google Now card and reminds you that you wanted that product. All you do is you go in the store and ask if the product is in stock or not. Facebook is looking to do the same by partnering with data mining firms Datalogix, Acxiom and Epsilon to target ads to consumers based on their previous offline shopping behavior.The same goes for clothing and any other product that you might search for online that a retailer would carry in store.
Probably Google introduced this concept so that the users use Google Wallet as a paying option.

Pros:
1. Very good IPS Screen

A brief look of the handling of device is shown in the video below:
Design & Build
The design is not so prodigious. It’s a bit bulky but with respect to time, you will adopt with the overall dimension of this device. This device is made from plastic like other 20K smartphones, however there is a chrome finish with metallic bezels at side. The volume and power buttons are feeble and feels very cheap.
Display
BQ S60 sports a 5 inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 960 *540 with a pixel density of 220ppi. Though the display is qHD resolution, not HD, but the screen is sharp enough and it looks beautiful. The color reproduction from the LCD panel is fairly good and you won’t notice any pixilation while browsing internet or reading e-books.
User Interface
It runs on Android Jellybean 4.2.2 and the interface is highly customized. BQ runs their own UI named as WE which I personally didn’t like. So, I installed a third party launcher (ADW launcher) and the interface is snappy and fast. The OS is handled pretty well by the handset and we didn’t notice any lags in the overall performance even when we run about 5-7 apps at the same time. Moreover,the overall user experience didn’t alter even I installed over 50 apps, which is good to see on a mid-range smartphone.
Hardware
The Titanium S5 Plus has a MediaTek MT6589 quad core processor ticking at 1.2 GHz and a 1 GB RAM to aid multitasking. It has a POWER VR SGX 544 GPU for graphics. It has an internal storage capacity of 4 GB which can be expanded via a microSD card by 32 GB.You can move apps to external MicroSD card so you won’t go low on memory.
Overall, for a price of Rs.18000, the hardware specs that you get are decent. The MediaTek Quad core processor will work well for day to day use and while playing mid end games like Temple run 2.However, you will get problems while playing high end games like MC4, NFS, etc. I personally faced dropped frame rates and overheating issues after playing it for a lengthy period of time, which is however standard on almost all budget Android smartphones.
Benchmark Scores
For a smartphone Under Rs.20000, It notches fair good scores. With a tally of around 14000 in Antutu, above 4000 in Quadrant and a 54.1 FPS in Nenomark2, the device is top-notch considering its price tag.
Antutu Scores
Quadrant scores
NenaMark V2 scores
Battery
The most highlight of BQ S60 is its battery life. This device is equipped with 2200 mAh battery and the battery life is great! It will work for more than a day if you are a moderate user.
Camera
BQ S60 could have been a stellar If the camera was great! But ironically it isn’t! The flaw of this device lies on the camera, which on paper says it’s a 8MP shooter but in reality it performs like a 5MP. However, I compared the camera performance with its rivals like Karbonn titanium S5 plus, Colors HD, Canvas 2 plus and all of them were on the same level.
Wrap up
Personally, I would buy this smartphone if I was looking for a good battery life, big 5 inch screen with decent pixels and an above average processing speed. However, if I was more in to photography, BQ S60 is simply not my cup of tea.

QBASIC ….Do you even remember it? The blue screen and full of codes. I bet it wasn’t interesting anyway. But its QBASIC’s 50 years.QBasic came complete with four pre-written example programs.These were “Nibbles“, a variant of the Snake game; “Gorillas“, an Artillery game; “MONEY MANAGER”, a personal finance manager; and “RemLine”, a GW-BASIC code line-number-removing program.
