iPhone SE is back! What can Apple expect from the Indian market after pricing it for Rs. 42500

As we all know, Apple released the iPhone SE (2nd generation or 2020 as people are calling it lately) for Rs. 42,500 by the means of a Press Release keeping in mind the prevailing situation throughout the world due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was a well thought decision of not holding a event during this time.



Now coming to the point where I want to talk about the Indian markets in particular.

We have seen that the budget iPhone as we used to call it back then, the iPhone XR which launched in October, 2016



Let us evaluate the gains and losses of buying the SE over XR

Gains :-

  • Comes cheaper
  • Compact form factor suitable from small hands
  • Touch ID 
  • A13 Bionic Chip
  • WiFi 6 and advance 
  • Sapphire Crystal Lens cover for added protection against scratch
  • Portrait lighting with background effects for the camera


 Losses :-

  • Smaller Screen 
  • Less battery life as claimed
  • No Face ID


To sum this all up one can safely go for the SE even in 2020 as it is based on a design from apple that it continued from iPhone 6 on wards, with just minor changes here and there but running the latest iOS and would be supporting the future updates to the iOS as well. If you are into gaming and similar stuff like that which require a slightly bigger display, then considering the XR which would cost a couple of thousand bucks more than SE is not a bad option.

But the main point, that is, the difference in the pricing in USA ($399) which translates to Rs. 30631 and the launch price of India is more than Rs. 10,000 which I think is a way too much to ask for.



A humble pricing of Rs. 35,000 could have attracted even more audience towards Apple with this launch. But there could still be a cashback offer with specific brands like we saw with the iPhone 11 series which offered straight up discount of 7000 on the iPhone 11 if payment was made using HDFC Bank Card.

I will update this post as there is announcement of any Bank offers or best buy links as it will come to my knowledge, for anything else, comment down below.

Micromax to launch Windows Phones with 1GB RAM at a price less than that of Lumia 520

micromax windows w092 w121 vws

At the last BUILD conference held at San Francisco, Microsoft has announced its partnership with 11 new companies from different countries including India's own Micromax. Microsoft has also made Windows Phone OS free for devices under 9” inch which helps manufacturers reduce the cost of their phones.
[READ MORE : Micromax partnered with Microsoft ]
Being the 10th largest cell phone manufacturing company in the world, Second largest in India and one among the Microsoft OEM partner, Micromax, as expected, has come up with two new entry level phones running on Windows Phone 8.1.  Micromax is very popular with its wide range of affordable Android phones (Bolt, Canvas etc) not only in India, but also in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and soon in Russia. Now its reaching out for Windows phone fans as well. With the launch, they have become the first Indian smartphone player to launch a Windows Phone in the market.

Micromax has added two new warriors to its popular Canvas range which will be the cheapest phones having Windows Phone 8.1. The Canvas Win W092 and Canvas Win W121 will be launched in early July this year and will be priced 6500(€80) and 9500(€115) respectively. About the launch, Sanjay Kapoor, Chairman, Micromax said, “ With our vision to democratize technology and belief in providing consumers with choice of platforms, we are pleased to introduce a new range of Windows-based phones. I am pleased that Micromax is the only Indian mobile phone brand to be present across the two most popular operating platforms in the world.”

With no doubt, both the phones will be competing tightly with Nokia’s Lumia 520 and Lumia 630 and obviously, Micromax scores more. Both the phones have 1GB of ram and 8GB of internal memory whereas both lumias have just 512 MB. They also lack a front cam and LED flash but Micromax has managed to equip their phones with all these features at a price even lower than the Lumia 520. The W121 has got a removable leather finish back panel just like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Micromax have managed to come up with the build quality on Nokia Lumia in the W121with the same material used in all Lumias as Nokia uses polycarbonate(free of PVC) instead of plastic. Lumia 525 is a good option if you prefer 1 GB of RAM and personally i feel  Lumia 630 is a bit overpriced. So, let’s go for a little comparison between these phones.

Talking about the Canvas Win W121, the phone’s design is inspired from other canvas phones and the phone do looks nice. You can take off the battery whenever needed and the leather case is interchangeable. The quality of viewing is not impressive as its look but the screen graphics are smoother than other Canvases running on Android OS. MS Office comes pre-loaded with the device and it is powered with Windows phone 8.1 out of the box. Apps can be downloaded from the official windows phone store but the Nokia Here Maps, Nokia mix radio are not available. Microsoft’s Siri-rival Cortana can also be made available by changing your region to United States.

UC Browser is the best and one of the popular browsers available for budget phones running in Java (like Asha OS).UC Browser is designed to make mobile web access quicker and lightweight. It has got a number of interesting features that enrich your mobile browsing experience.
Some handy features of UC Browser
  1. Support for both touch and non-touch devices
  2. A whole lot of bookmarks of useful sites
  3. UDisk (Free online storage)
  4. Sync bookmark option
  5. Tabbed browsing
  6. Incognito Browsing
  7. Clipboard, File Manager, Themes
  8. Brightness control and night mode
  9. Desktop and Mobile view
  10. The best-in-class Download Manager
UC Browser is a proxy-based mobile browser. It is the best competitor for similar browsers like Opera Mini, One Browser and all. Opera Mini is the most used mobile browser because it compress the sites very well that the sites load much faster. Opera Mini gives the best browsing experience in mobiles but when it comes to downloading it don’t come up with the powerful download manager in UC Browser. While downloading, whatever happens to your connection the downloading will be paused automatically and you can continue later from where you have stopped. You can download large files in UC Browser without fearing about the download getting cancelled in the middle of the process.You can download the latest version of  UC Browser officially from here.
 
 
Below is a modified version of UC Browser 9.4.1 that looks like Google Chrome. The icon and splash screen is changed with Google Chrome logo and more over the app supports both landscape and portrait modes for phones having an in-built proximity sensor. The app works the same way as the Facebook Landscape app i provided earlier. It works perfectly on devices like Nokia Asha 501(tested ok), 502, 503, 311 etc. And it feels great to have a Chrome logo in your homescreen. If you get an error while installing either move the jar file into phone memory or uninstall the current UC Browser you use.

How to Remove Advertisements from Apps/Games in Asha 5XX phones

asha 501 no more ads in gamesNokia Asha OS is a much advanced version of Nokia’s Series 40 OS for feature phones. These phones are equipped with the features of smartphones at the price that fits everybody’s budget. This revolutionary move by Nokia started with the launch of Asha 501 and now has 5 variants in this row. Tons of apps are available for this platform in Nokia Store. Nokia is providing a huge opportunity for developers to reach the world. Store has a wide reach all over the world and helps developers to attain downloads for their products. There are mainly three methods for developers to earn,
  1. 1. A paid app
  2. 2. A free app with in-app payment
  3. 3. A free app
Apart from these, a developer can include Ads in his app. This is also a major source of income for the developer. With this feature , the app/game will display an advertisement when the user opens the app. But to run the app, it requires a working internet connection. In case of games, The game can’t be played if there is no data pack active. And for a user of a budget phone like Asha, will find it hard to use data packs as the network providers are making it costlier day by day. And these useless advertisements irritates me a lot too.

So this is a tutorial to remove the Advertisements and skip to the game directly. This can be done in three easy steps, completely in the mobile itself. I strongly recommend you to use use UC Browser (Download) for this.

Steps for removing Ads. from Apps/Games

First and foremost, create a new folder in your memory card, say My Folder.
(If you are in UC Browser now, you can create a New Folder without closing it.
Simply go to Downloads > Menu > FileManager > Memorycard > create New Folder)

1. Open Nokia Store in a new tab in UC Browser. Search for the Game you wish to remove ads. For example, Let the game’s name be AngryBirds and press . In the ‘Download Notice’ page press SAVE and save it to My Folder. Now you have downloaded the JAD file of the Game and it will be downloaded as ‘AngryBirds_240x320_jad’. Now close the tab.

2. Open this LINK in a new tab and upload the file (AngryBirds_240x320_jad) to its server. You will get a link to download the JAR file of the game (AngryBirds_240x320.jar) in the next page. Now download the file just like you downloaded the JAD file, save it to MyFolder. Wait for the file to get fully downloaded and the file will be named like ‘AngryBirds_240x320_jar’. Now close the tab.

3. Open this LINK in new tab and upload the jar file to the site. Wait sometime for the file to get uploaded and in the next page you can download the file ‘AngryBirds_240x320_Ad_Removed_jar.

screenshot uc browser asha 501

Now simply rename the file (AngryBirds_240x320_Ad_Removed_jar) to (AngryBirds_240x320_Ad_Removed.jar). Before you close the browser and start playing your game, Please like us on facebook !!

Cover, the smartest lockscreen app on Android


Cover, a brilliant lockscreen app that offers users the right app, at the right time. The app learns user's behavior patterns and understands whether he or she is driving, at the office or at home, and automatically loads shortcuts to the most suitable apps on a device's lockscreen so that they are at the user's fingertips. So for example, at work, the calendar, LinkedIn and Email could be in the screen, while in the car, Google Maps is front and center. At home, it could be the sports results, Facebook and Twitter. Cover can even adjusts the phone's settings according to the context like, it turns off the ringer while at work or disable the ability to make and receive calls altogether while driving.

Since its initial announcement in October last year, the app is still in beta form. According to the company, Cover has undergone over 100 minor improvements and alterations including the addition of tutorials and greater customization. Another data shows that, an average smartphone owner has 41 apps installed on their handset, and that doesn't include the third party apps that are pre-installed by manufacturers and network operators. And as the number of apps continues to grow, trying to find the right one, in a hurry, will getting more and more difficult, especially for owners having devices with smaller, 4-5 inch screens as it is too difficult to swipe between 6-7 screens and finding the app. Cover will perform the job like an Assistant, silently. If you are an above average android user, Cover is a must-have.

Increase your battery backup without using any battery-saver apps in Android

battery love

Google’s Android is the largest installed mobile OS in the world. Its devices also sell more than Windows, iOS and Mac OS combined. Its a low-cost and customizable OS which makes it preferable among manufacturers. It is an Open Source platform based on Kernel Linux and is used by many major mobile/tablet manufacturers including Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony and Microsoft Mobile(Nokia) recently. Android phones range from budget phones like Samsung Galaxy Star, Micromax Bolt Series, Motorola E, Nokia X etc to high end smart phones like Galaxy S5, Xperia Z2, HTC M8 and so on.

Android smartphones are equipped with high quality graphical display, 3G/4G connectivity, Wireless Fidelity, a good amount of RAM, Multitasking capability and many other features that requires a lot of battery backup, thus draining the battery soon. This is the main drawback of Android. There are hundreds of battery saver apps available in Google Play Store for reducing the battery usage in your phone. These apps can help you save your battery to a great extent, but still it depends on the usage of the phone.

Here are some important  measures you must follow apart from using battery saver apps. These tips are provided by CheetahMobile, the developers of the popular Clean Master app.

TIPS FOR REDUCING THE BATTERY USAGE IN YOUR ANDROID -

1. Disable automatic time zones/time and the clock manually otherwise your device will  l constantly be requesting location/time data and its almost entirely unnecessary.

2. Reduce the push frequency of email/weather/social media.

3. Disable Wi-Fi/Data while playing offline games which present ads, for many apps they will be unable to push you ads during gameplay without a connection.

4. Try to charge the battery before it falls below 20 per cent, it's not good to run them completely dry.

5. Use the official chargers for your devices, an aftermarket charger may not charge at the correct voltage or have other deficiencies.

6. Charging via a power outlet is often times much more effective than charging via USB.

7. When you are done with an app try to actually shut it down instead of pushing it to run in the background.

8. Try to avoid playing graphically intense games while charging.

9. Switch off or use flight mode in places where the network is weak.

As a way to reduce your expense on internet, the data you access on your PC can also be shared to your smartphones, at no cost. The below mentioned applications will help you to do so.

Requirements-
*A WiFi enabled PC/Laptop with a decent internet connection.
*A smartphone/PDA that has WiFi.
*Any one of the below mentioned software.
