Our review of the Cyanogen-flayoured Yureka, the first offering from Micromax-backed brand YU. In a nutshell, we think that the Yureka is a very compelling buy for its asking price of Rs 8,999, but don't let that act as a spoiler... flick through the slides for a full loawdown.
The Galaxy Alpha marks a departure from Samsung’s usual design philosophy, and rocks top-notch specs too. Features like the built-in fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor we saw on the Galaxy S5 have made their way to the Alpha too, but sadly, the latter isn’t impervious to water like its more accomplished sibling. With the metal frame as its mainstay, we wanted to know whether the Galaxy Alpha can impress us overall as a compelling option and prove its mettle as a worthy daily driver. And that’s exactly what we hope to accomplish with this review.
The Zenfone series marks a fresh attempt from ASUS to make its mark in the burgeoning smartphone sector in India.

The Apple iPhone is one of the most iconic gadgets ever, and so far, the brand has always focussed on the device’s one-handed utility. Giving in to the market dynamics and the ever-increasing demand from its loyal fan-following, Apple has now gone the phablet way… and the result is the iPhone 6 Plus. Apart from the screen size, battery capacity and a few other features like optical image stabilisation thrown in, it’s not too different from its sibling the iPhone 6. Here's our review
The Xiaomi Mi Note performs and responds well to the apps and games in general, but with the Snapdragon 801 processor you have to be a little careful as the device heats up fast. However, the metal and glass body takes care of that with ease. Overall, the Mi Note definitely looks and feels more premium than what the brand is asking for it. A lot depends on how the company prices the device in India. A very compelling option if you can wait till it launches.

Following our unboxing and first impressions, we spent some quality time with the handset. Skim through our review in pictures for our verdict.

The mobile industry in India seems to be growing prodigiously. That’s evident from our half-yearly mobile phone landscape reports as well, since the number of phones being launched in the country has increased year-on-year. Up until now that is. The year 2016, so far, seems to be defying the trend as the number of launches declined for the first time in three years. Not just that, the first half of the year was quite different as compared to previous years, be it in terms of shifting consumer preferences for price segments, or Chinese brands giving stiff competition to indigenous and established multinational manufacturers.
So, here's a comprehensive look at the state of affairs in the Indian mobile phone industry in H1 2016.
There’s little doubt that the mobile industry in India is growing at an unprecedented pace. But to put things in perspective, the real question is how fast it’s growing, especially when compared to the previous years? Well, to answer that question we’ve been bringing out comprehensive reports on the state of mobile phone market in India since the past couple of years, and now is time to take a closer look at the happenings in the sector in the year 2015. So, without further ado, let’s see what defined the smartphone market last year.
With so many launches and new brands entering the rapidly-growing phone market in the subcontinent, it's important to take a step back and get a macroscopic look at the state of the Indian phone market. Our past reports have revealed some interesting insights about the launches, spec trends as well as consumers' ever-changing interests. The first six months of 2015 revealed many surprises as well, and our report takes a comprehensive look at those trends.

2. Low on oomph, high on practicality
• Looks rather plain Jane
• The only design highlight is
the rear panel which is
fashioned out of plastic but is
clad in a matte, leathery
finish
• Available in Mystic Blue and
Pristine White
• The faux-leather finish aids in
grip and keeps smudges at
bay
• The rear shell can be pried
open to reveal the removable
battery, a pair of micro-SIM
slots and a microSD card slot

resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels (~294ppi)
• Fairly capable and displays crisp, vibrant colours
• Touch responsiveness and viewing angles are good, though sunlight
legibility isn’t one of its strongest points
4. Sweet KitKat with hazelnut
• Runs a near-stock build of Android
KitKat
• The ‘pause on look away’ feature
pauses video playback if you remove
your gaze from the screen
• A handy camera widget that lets you
shoot stills, videos and selfies
• Tons of bloatware, including Getit,
Clean Master, FoneClay, Hike, and
Kingsoft Office. A whole suit of
Micromax’s own apps is also
included, including M! Doodle and

storage space

out, and two-finger swipes in

shot, auto scene detection,
panorama, burst and HDR
• You also get control over
various other settings such as
ISO, exposure etc
• You can also shoot by voice or
making the ‘V’ gesture using
your fingers
7. Shoots well, but misses the bull’s eye
• Churns out reasonably
good shots as long as the
lighting is good, though the
colours look slightly dull
• Close-ups looks good, but
HDR isn’t really its strong
point
• Its low light imaging
prowess is no great shakes
either, since images turn
out riddled with noise
8. Runs at nitro-boosted speeds
• A 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek processor, paired with 2GB of RAM tackles
heavy apps and games smoothly
• There’s 8GB of storage, giving you about 5GB to use. You can add up to
32GB more via the microSD card slot

“The Micromax Canvas
Nitro is a capable daily
driver. It does fail to excite,
and may not be able to
entice shutterbugs with its
camera prowess… but it
manages to do well for
itself in most other areas.
Worth considering, but not
before you take a look at
others in its range such as
the new Moto G and the
ASUS Zenfone 5”
