Microsoft could hit bull’s eye with its flagships Lumia 940 and 940 XL. We are anticipating the former handset to release in June this year. While we still wait for confirmation here, online leaks and renders are building up quite a pretty picture for the flagship. Viral renders have revealed a brushed aluminum body that makes us drool. The screen will be sexed up with Super AMOLED capacities on a 5.2 inch size.LG G4 Wows Us With 16 MP

Microsoft is also planning around with 3 GB RAM. The 25 MP Pure View camera with Zeiss lens has been a talking point ever since we knew Lumia 940 will feature the same. Latest images have revealed addition of triple-tone LED flash and 4K video recording specs on this count. The battery is a giant at 3250 mAH and Windows 10 will only add sheen to the class called Lumia 940.

Which Is Better Cyanogen OS 12 Or Oxygen? Users’ Verdict Cyanogen OS 12

Posted By: Mahak Sharma 0 Comment , ,

OnePlus One’s compatibility with both Cyanogen OS 12 an Oxygen OS has raised a common question among the users, as they want to know, which of these is better suited for their smartphone. Though both the operating systems have an identical look, Cyanogen 0S 12 has much better customization options.

Which Is Better Cyanogen OS 12 Or OxygenBy installing this, users will be able to change almost every icon on their phone, including battery. Customizations are also available for status bar, fonts as well as settings. Not just this, the OS is preloaded with Audio Maxx, Cyanogen Mail and many other useful apps. Plenty of choices on themes allow users to personalize their phone as per wish.

While Cyanogen offers a wide range of choices for optimizing the smartphone, Oxygen OS is quite similar to that of Android and has limited customization options. However, apps like Hangout are often useful. Yet, it offers better battery life than Cyanogen OS, as the huge options for customizing drains battery quickly.

Though Oxygen is better in terms of battery life, it is tricky to install as users often cannot flash the ROM manually on their device. Cyanogen 12 updates are automatically notified on phone and can be easily installed by connecting to any Wi-Fi. Thus, it makes Cyanogen OS 12 a better option for OnePlus One users.

Xiaomi Mi 4i Review

Posted By: Satarupa Bhattacharya 0 Comment , ,

With the release of Xiaomi Mi 4i yesterday at New Delhi in India, it’s time for a neutral roundup of the smartphone. We love the beef in the Xiaomi Mi 4i thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615. There is no mediocre generation chip this time and with 1.7 GHz octa-core processor multitasking will be a cakewalk.

The Latest Xiaomi Mi 4iThe 5-inch screen size is not pathbreaking but we love the brightness and resolution thanks to 1080p display. The 2 GB RAM is a set standard in the current age but the 16 GB onboard storage offers ample meat for the price. The Android 5.0.2 Lollipop is again not much of a surprise but the 3120 mAh battery indeed wows us.

Snapping selfies and pictures are an awesome experience with the 13MP main camera with HDR specifications inbuilt.  The 5MP front shutter makes you click fabulous selfies. The metal build is decent. The corners are pretty eye-catching but we feel the design is not really exclusive.

All said and done, the Mi 4i fails to actually give us a game changer but it does give us a great bargain. For starters, the pricing is exclusive and this is why Xiaomi could make it big in the Indian market. At INR 12,999, there will be many takers for this beauty.
