The Asus Zenfone 6 is a good option for this who are looking for a big-screened smartphone in a limited budget. The device, offers some good looks, decent hardware specifications, a brilliant camera and a eye appealing display
The latest Sony flagship, the Xperia Z2 sure is one loaded smartphone. Class-leading specs, waterproof capabilities and a 20.7-megapixel primary camera ensure it stays top of the game. Here's a quick review of the Xperia Z2...
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.
Motorola's flagship device, the Moto X might not win any awards for its specs, but its software smartness combined with its co-processor puts it ahead of any other smartphone we have come across. Here's a quick review of the Moto X with a closer look at its special features and performance.
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.
The LG G3 is the most recent super-premium smartphone in India, and with its specs that include a 5.5-inch 2K display and a zippy 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 SoC, comes across as one of the most loaded devices money can buy. But are things are rosy as they look? Or there something else to this noteworthy flagship? Here's a quick review of its capabilities....
The Oppo R5 comes with a nice set of features offering great functionality, above all the build quality offered by the device is amazing, and there are barely any flaws with the design except the missing 3.5mm audio connector, which takes away some part of the functionality. If you are looking for a smartphone with a powerful snapper, the R5 is certainly not the one and as its closest competition the Yu Yureka, beats the R5 in every domain and mostly in the price by being available at one third of its cost. But, if you are looking for a well built device which you can flaunt, the R5 is there for you, however you would be paying heavily for looks.
The Mini variant of the Oppo N1 offers the same innovative features of its big brother in a smaller package. Presenting to you a visual tour of the smartphone's capabilities.
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
Touted as the best Android smartphone offering best in class hardware with pureness of KitKat OS, Nexus 5 seems like a great choice. But, how does it fares in real life? We bring to you its review in pictures.

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.

1. Moto X
(2nd-gen)

The #1 gadget research website in India
2. 2
Phablet by definition, not by size
Instead of the handier 4.7-inch display, the new Moto X gets a roomier 5.2-inch screen
However, Motorola has kept the bezels to a minimum
In fact, its size is almost equivalent to devices with 5-inch displays, including its sibling,
the new Moto G
The front portion of the device gets two metal bars above and below the display, but
only the bottom one is the speaker
DESIGN
3. 3
Screams premium right from the get-go
Going a step further than its predecessor, the phone is offered in in leather and wood
back variants, along with the usual ones
The leather variant feels superb in the hand, but requires careful handling as it picks
up scratches rather easily
Thanks to a metallic band running along its edges, it exudes premiumness
Handling is further improved with its curved rear, which makes the device look thin
DESIGN
4. Keeps your eyes glued
The 5.2-inch AMOLED display panel features full HD resolution resulting
in a rich pixel density of 423ppi
The screen outputs vibrant colours and wide viewing angles
Thanks to ample brightness, the display is legible in direct sunlight as well
Protection against scratches is provided by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3
DISPLAY
5. Just two flicks away from your perfect shot
The shooter in the original
Moto X was its Achilles’ heel
Motorola hopes to change that
by equipping the second-gen
Moto X with a 13MP primary
camera, supplemented by a
ring flash with two LEDs
The custom camera app is
extremely minimal allowing you
to capture images by tapping
anywhere, but is also short on
image manipulation options
The smartphone sports a 2MP
camera at the front
While the rear shooter can
record up to 4K videos, the
front camera can capture full
HD videos
CAMERA
6. But quality is still a notch lower than the competition
While the camera is better than its
predecessor with a lot more detail,
it falters on sharpness
We also noticed that it’s tuned to
capture bright objects, resulting in
blown-out highlights
In comparison, other flagships
offer better imaging quality in all
kind of situations
The ring flash works well to
illuminate low-light scenes, but we
didn’t find it much better than the
usual flash
The 2MP front camera is good for
taking selfies or making video calls

There are no
customisations at all

Motorola Migrate helps to

your old phone to the new
device quickly
With Motorola Connect,
you can mirror your

USER INTERFACE
8. From Okay Google to Hello Moto and beyond
Apart from the preinstalled
apps, there are a few features
that give the device its X-factor
With Moto Voice (formerly
Touchless Control), you can
interact hands-free with the
phone by using a custom
trigger phrase, even when the
device is locked
With your voice, you can ask
the device to read notifications,
post on Facebook, make a call,
set an alarm and more
Along with that, you can also
perform a web search on
Google

9. Motorola’s magical touch continues to amaze...

AMOLED display’s property to
display notifications, while
conserving battery life
With Moto Actions, the new
Moto X utilises IR sensors to

alarm when you wave your
hand over it
Moto Assist lets you
configure various preset
modes like Work, Driving,
Meeting to define how the
phone should behave in those
situations
USER INTERFACE
10. As smooth as silk
Instead of a modest dual-core processor, the second-gen Moto X runs on a quad-core
Snapdragon 801 SoC ticking at 2.5GHz, along with Adreno 330 GPU
The processing muscle is accompanied by 2GB RAM
The combination leads to zippy performance in all tasks
Processes heavy-graphics titles like Beach Buggy Racing and Riptide GP2
extremely well, and the device doesn’t heat up after continuous gaming
PERFORMANCE
11. Storage might be an issue
The 32GB variant is
unavailable in India
Comes with only 16GB of in-built
storage
Only 7.7GB of that space is
available to the end user
This is an issue considering
there’s no expansion slot
Although, you can make use of
USB On-the-Go support to use
your flash drives with the
smartphone
PERFORMANCE
12. Compromises on the battery life
The only compromise in the
device to keep it slim would
be its battery, which is a
2,300mAh unit
It’s just 100mAh larger than its
predecessor
Motorola claims an all-day
battery life, though we had
mixed results
It manages to last a day with
moderate usage, but with
heavy usage, it wasn’t able to

15. Verdict
“Motorola has definitely upped its game when
compared to the original Moto X. But the price has
also been increased considerably (even more for
wooden and leather-finish variants). At this price
point, the device faces tough competition from
offerings like the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, HTC One E8
and the slightly costlier Samsung Galaxy S5. That
said, if you’re looking for a smartphone that goes
beyond the hardware and makes your life easier,
you can’t go wrong with the second-gen Moto X.”
