Oppo N1: The Next Gen Mobile

Finally, a newcomer has arrived in the market to light fire in the consumer’s heart. Smart phone newcomer Oppo has brought forward a decent package of features at a pocket-friendly price.

Oppo has given an innovative bend to the phone with its revolvable cam. Instead of just ordinary camera phones, this innovation really proves to be marvellous in the area of capturing images. There are now many phones available with those ordinary camera’s, but the versatility of a portable camera adds so much more fun to mobile photo capturing. We never thought capturing a moment could be so exciting. The extra pixel rate and features make a big difference in the final appearance of a photo. And, of course, Oppo’s build quality and software innovations are just incomparable.

Although a newly launched smartphone, the N1 seems to be hitting the competitors market. Its huge size with a 6-inch display is even bigger, suited for people with large hands or weak eyes. The phone looks and feels incredibly premium and guarantees a “Hey, which one is that?” query each time you reveal it from your pocket. A mere 213g with great weight distribution doesn’t make it feel heavy.

The Oppo N1 is featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 SoC processor, similar to other models available in the market. This quad-core chipset can assure up to 1.7 GHz of speed and has 2GB of RAM to help it all the way. Needless to say, the operating system and apps run with ease without any issues. The phone also has a very capable Graphical Processing Unit which handles well any kind of graphic-heavy content.

We would have liked a top-of-the-line Snapdragon model in the market at this price but having Oppo with the specs and performance it promises is a fairly good deal.

Acer Liquid Jade S: Another Semi-Precious One?

The Acer Liquid Jade S seeks to carve a niche for itself with bold looks, a rather slim waistline and well-balanced hardware. Announced only six months following the Liquid Jade, the S version introduces illustrious upgrades in several major areas. It certainly has a more powerful chipset that features an octa-core processor. The higher-grade graphics processor is the key alteration, however, the doubled operating memory and onboard storage are also noteworthy changes. The new SoC is not merely about higher performance though, it also brings along the needed LTE support to the table.

There are many other key features that have been retained starting with the 5-inch display. The display may not be FullHD, but qHD resolutions aren’t unheard of in the price segment and 720p gives enough density without raising the price too high. The dual SIM capability will be applauded by specific users, even if the second card needs to fight with the microSD for the shared slot space.

The Acer Liquid Jade S sports prominent styling too. While certain design elements may not be to everyone’s liking, it’s definitely not just another nameless black rectangle of a smartphone. It’s also light and pleasantly thin – a rarity in a price range where build is usually sacrificed at the altar for a lower price.

The Acer Liquid Jade S key features include dual SIM slots, quad-band 2G connectivity for both SIM cards, quad-band 3G, and Cat 4 LTE for download speeds up to 150Mbps. Other key features include:

Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, hotspot; GPS with A-GPS
64-bit Mediatek MT6752M chipset with an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 1.5GHz
Mali T760MP2 dual-core GPU
2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage on board, expandable up to 32GB via microSD card in place of SIM 2
5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display of 1,280 x 720 pixels resolution, Gorilla Glass 3 protection
13MP main camera with fast f1.8 lens, autofocus, and LED flash; 1080p@30fps video recording
5MP front facing camera
DTS-HD certified audio
Android 4.4.4 KitKat with thorough customizations from Acer, promised upgrade to Lollipop
FM radio receiver
2,300mAh battery capacity
Compact, light body; striking design

No matter how well-designed the device is, it comes with its own set of disadvantages too. It has a non-removable battery and there is no NFC. Further, the power button is in an uncomfortable position. You also can’t have dual-SIM and microSD at the same time on this phone.

So, as discussed in the above list, the Acer Liquid Jade S addresses the shortfalls of its predecessor and adds up to a convincing smartphone package – on paper. It has promising hardware, which is further complemented by a unique styling.

With the specifications duly in place, as many prospective buyers would like to have, the phone is all set to create a buzz in the market!

Vivo Xshot: A Shot at the Competition

Another Chinese flagship mobile phone has rocked the market, but with a twist. The Vivo Xshot is a uniquely built phone flaunting a premium finish, unnerving specifications, and a camera setup that almost puts it in a niche of its own.

The Vivo Xshot is available in two variations. The first one is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC, with four CPU cores clocked at 2.3 GHz, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The second version, which also is lighter to hold, wraps up a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in memory. Besides the feature differences, the two handsets appear nearly identical. It is true that both of these variants are typical of most 2014 flagship phones. However, we do not mean that as a criticism. After all, the Vivo Xshot came into the market last summer, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but with a more conformed price.

Here are the key features of the device:

5.2″ 16M-color 1080p IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen
Quad-core Qualcomm MSM8974AA Snapdragon 801 or Snapdragon 800 at 2.3 GHz, 2/3 GB RAM and Adreno 330 GPU.
Rear camera of 13 mega pixels with 4K video, OIS, f/1.8 and dual-tone flash; 8MP, wide (84 degree) front-facing camera with LED flash and 720p video.
Exclusive two-stage camera shutter button.
16GB of built-in storage and a microSD card slot
LTE Cat. 4 (150Mbps), Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, GPS/GLONASS receiver, Bluetooth v4.0
Standard 3.5mm audio jack
Accelerometer, proximity sensor, gyroscope and compass
Active noise revoking with a dedicated mic
2,600mAh non-removable battery

While the phone offers many useful and innovative features, it also has some disadvantages. Apparently, it is stuck on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with no UI update. The battery cannot be removed and is of a rather limited capacity. There is no actual WiFi AC support and even the user interface appears to be confusing at times owing to poor translation. The Xshot is equipped with a 5.2-inch IPS LCD panel of full HD resolution and 424ppi. It has a sharp, clear display, but it tends to get quite reflective at times.

Nevertheless, the camera setup is worthy of applause as the Xshot uses an ambitious 13MP sensor, complete with an f/1.8 aperture, optical image stabilization and 4K video recording potential. Even the front-facing camera is great at 8 megapixels. It even has a dedicated LED flash for captures, so selfies should also come out quite nice!

Overall, the device is a fruitful experience for a specification-centric user and worth the money users will invest in it.

People Hit Likes for Nokia Lumia 930

The Lumia 930 launched already running Windows Phone 8.1; however, the Lumia 930 is probably the last phone that you will come across having capacitive navigation keys and a physical camera button alongside the standard power and volume rocker provisions. The Nokia Lumia 930 is undeniably one of the best pieces of the external hardware. It has a nice, big 5-inch display and a 1080p AMOLED ClearBlack panel with a fine layer of a sheet of Gorilla Glass 3, which allows for a great sunlight readability. The display is clear and provides for nice viewing angles and color saturation.

The Nokia Lumia 930 is a handset that has the most desirable specifications when compared to its peers form other brands. However, its raw specifications cannot camouflage the shortfalls it has on the outer. Buyers feel that the makers could have taken care of the looks and kept their approach toward 930 a bit more design-focused.

The overall user experience that people have reported while working with this device is nice and there doesn’t appear anything with a negative feedback. As it is a Lumia phone, the 930 automatically reaps the benefits of Nokia’s Cyan update on top of Windows Phone 8.1 that encompasses enhanced Camera, Creative Studio and Storyteller apps.

The device has proven its mettle with its top specifications as well as a strong performance. With its excellent display, fantastic 20MP Zeiss camera, and a promising battery life, this Windows Phone is designed to run smoothly on super-cheap hardware configurations, so with a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 and 2GB of RAM for functioning, the 930 has been doing great.

As far as the public view goes and the user feedback is concerned, the Lumia 930 is arguably one of the best Windows Phones in the market. It is also an improvement over the US version, the Lumia Icon; not to miss the broader LTE band support and a free wireless charger in the box that deserve a mention.
