#BringItOn | Samsung and Amazon India tease new Mobile launch on July 12

Samsung and Amazon India social media channels are teasing the launch of new Android smartphone on July 12 with #BringItOn hashtag. Samsung India has already announced Galaxy J2 2016 edition and Galaxy J Max phablet earlier.  Most probably the phone Amazon.in is teasing is Galaxy J Max since it is not in stock anywhere online as of this writing. There is also a chance Samsung to launch Galaxy C5 or Galaxy C7 in India on July 12. Whichever phone this might be, it is going to be an Amazon Exclusive device and wont be available to purchase from anywhere else. Galaxy J Max is a phone. However i would prefer calling it a tablet since it comes with a 7 inch display. It is powered by 1.5Ghz Quadcore processr and comes with 1.5GB of ram. There is a 4000mAh battery to power up things. Samsung has already announce the price of Galaxy J Max in India - Rs 13,400. #BringItOe Samsung. Check out the July 12 smartphone launch teaser page on Amazon India here.

Android N Beta Experience on Google Nexus 5X

Image
So i grabbed a Google Nexus 5X 16GB recently from eBay for cheap to test out the upcoming major Android release - Android N. If you have 5X, 6P or Nexus 6, you can enroll to Android N Beta program ( check here ) and you will get an OTA update in a few minutes. This OTA update is around 1GB. Performance since updating to Android N has been normal. It doesn't feel like using a Beta version at all. Almost all features i use works without any issues. I didn't experience any severe force close issues or hanging or reboots. Sometimes Settings app crashes - to be expected in Beta test build.  Some apps in the Play Store can't be installed as they don't yet support Android N. However, if you can side load them, they should work. I tested with Sony Play Memories Mobile app and it worked flawlessly. The first thing you would notice is the Notification Drawer has changed. Every notification is now White and has the App icon on the right to indicate which app is s

OnePlus 3 or Google Nexus 6P / 5X? Which one you should buy ?

OnePlus has launched their latest Android flagship smartphone in India at a price of Rs 27,999 . For that price, you are getting the fastest processor currently available - Snapdragon 820, and comes with 6GB of ram. It comes with Android 6 Marshmallow based Oxygen OS which is a close to Stock Android version. Nexus 6P / Nexus 5X on the other hand has less attractive specs comparing to OnePlus 3. 6P is powered by last year's flagship processor Snapdragon 810 and only has half the ram OnePlus 3 has - 3GB. 5X is powered by mid range Snapdragon 808 hexa core processor and only has 2GB of ram. Nexus 5X 16GB price currently is around 25K in India and 32GB will cost around 28K online. Lowest price seen for Nexus 6P was Rs 31,999 during an offer on Flipkart. So when you compare the specs and prices of these devices, it would be easy to conclude OnePlus 3 is the best value for money one out there. 6GB RAM ? Do yo really need it ? If you play high end games and run super high end
