Lava Iris N350 vs Micromax Ninja 3.5 A57: A Comparison


If a common middle class man can get himself a smartphone, it is all because of Android. You can get an Android powered handset for as less as 3.5K; and the price range goes as high as 40K. But it is the lower end handset section that makes Android the ultimate choice for the common man, especially in a country like India. And today, I am going to write a comparison between two low end smart phones - Lava Iris N350 and Micromax Ninja 3.5 A57 - powered by Android OS; it will help you in making your mind about which handset is better suited to your need.  

Display

Both the handsets sport a 3.5 inch capacitive HVGA screen. Both the screens have 262K color depth. Both of them have multitouch input method. Lava Iris has a dimension of 115 x 61.5 x 11.9 mm and A57 has a dimension of 116 x 62 x 11.5 mm. Without a shadow of doubt this section ends in a tie.  

CPU and RAM

The Lava handset has a 1GHz processor on a MediaTek chipset, the processor is complimented by a 256MB RAM. On the other hand the A57 too has a 1GHz processor presiding over a Qualcomm chipset, the CPU is also seconded by a 256MB of RAM. A tie once again.

Storage Capacity

In the storage capacity segment the Lava Iris N350 sports a 100MB built-in storage capacity, which can be furthered till 32GB via a microSD card. The handset can store up to 1000 phonebook entries and up to 200 SMS. In reply the Ninja has almost similar storage credentials and has similar expansion capacity. So, one more parley. 

Camera

The Lava handset has a 2MP camera on the back side of the body and a VGA camera on the front side for video chat and self portrait. In the main camera segment the Ninja is a better option as it has a 3MP camera on the posterior of the body but unfortunately there is no front camera, hence maladroit or no video chat.   Advantage Lava Iris N350.

Data Connectivity

In the data connectivity arena, the N350 has GPRS, EDGE, and Wi-Fi for Internet connectivity and USB and Bluetooth 3.0 for faster and convenient data transfer. Ninja on the other hand houses all the aforementioned specs and in addition, it has 3G, which readers know is many folds faster than GPRS and EDGE. Ninja A57 wins hands down.
    
Battery 

The Lava N350 has a Li-Ion 1300 mAh battery, which can give the users a talk time of around 2 hours 40 minutes and a standby time of 10 days. In reply, Ninja houses a Li-Ion 1400 mAh battery, which is capable of giving the users a talk time of around 4 and a half hours and a standby time of 6 days. Ninja.

Operating System

As we talked earlier, both the handsets are Android powered devices. Both of them run Android Gingerbread 2.3. So, both of them at the same pedestal in this section too.

The Verdict

Frankly speaking, if your sole motive is video chat go for the Lava Iris N350, since it houses a front camera. But if your liking is faster Internet better, battery, and superior looks; you will have to go for Micromax Ninja 3.5 A57.

Spice Stellar Horizon Mi-500 vs Micromax Superfone Canvas A100 : Domestic Phablets in Comparison


When Samsung launched Galaxy Note, critics were a little skeptic about the reception that the phablet would get in the market worldwide. But the phablet, as soon as it was launched, silenced all the criticism and skepticism that was created around it. Gradually the public interest rose and the demand for the new genre of mobile phones called phablet increased. But price, which is the biggest area of concern in the domestic market, comes in the way of most of the folks interested in phablets.

To explore the possibilities, the domestic companies like Micromax, Spice, and others come with phablets, which are not just good but cost effective as well. But then, the vital question is, which one should the buyers take among the plethora of phablets in the markets. And to provide the readers with a solution I am going to do a comparison between the best phablets available in the domestic market, namely: Spice Stellar HorizonMi-500 and Micromax Superfone Canvas A100. So let’s get started, without delay.

Esthetics

Both the devices are equipped with a 5 inch display; both the displays have WVGA (800x480) resolution. Both the handsets are well equipped with sensors like Accelerometer, proximity, G-sensor. In the weight and dimension segment the Micromax handset is a little ahead of the Spice Mi-500 but as far as the looks is concerned Spice turns the table on Micromax. I would call it a tie.

CPU and RAM
In this segment the Spice handset seems to be donning  the victor’s crown as it has got a 1GHz dual core processor, whereas the A100 has got a 1GHz single core processor, the difference is quite conspicuous. Both processors are seconded by a 512MB RAM.

Storage
In the storage segment the Spice Mi-500 and Micromax A100 both offer the users a built-in memory of 4GB and both of them possess an expansion capacity of 32GB. Both are equals here as well.

Camera
The 5MP primary camera of the Mi-500 is supported by a dual LED flash, in reply the Micromax A100 also dons a 5MP camera but has support of a single LED flash. As far as the front camera is concerned, both the handsets has 0.3MP camera on the front side of the body. With a little bit of up and down I would call it a tie.

Battery
For a mobile as big as Mi-500 or A100, the battery spec becomes as pivotal as anything. The Mi-500 houses a mammoth 2400 mAh battery, the Micromax A100 comes in with a 2000 mAh battery. Both the phones have a strong battery capacity but Mi has a conspicuous edge over the A100.

Operating System
Both the handsets are Android IceCream Sandwich powered devices. And there is no need to say that the ICS is the best user friendly Android till date.

The Verdict
After going through all the tech specs of either of the handsets, one feels that there is not much to differentiate between the two of the handsets. But with better battery and faster processor, the Spice Mi-500 becomes the better handset between the two good mobile phones. Go for the Spice Stellar Horizon Mi-500.

Micromax to Release 10.1 inch Funbook Tablet, Specs and First Impressions


We are all well acquainted with the fact that the Indian handset maker Micromax is all about providing new age technology at a dirt cheap price. Nowhere else you will get an android smartphone for 4-5K or an Android driven tablet for as low as 6K. And latest entrant to the already gigantic list of entities is the Funbook Pro which happens to be a 10.1 inch tablet running the Android ICS 4.0. Some deem it to be the extension of the super successful Funbook tablet that the company launched a while ago.

Let’s have a detailed look at the hardware specifications of the tablet:
As it is clear from the name that the tablet will be 10.1 inch in size and as far as the display is concerned the TFT LCD screen will be having a 1024x600p resolution with multi-touch facility, of course.

Now, if we turn our heed towards the CPU and RAM of the tab we find that the tablet has been packed with lightening fast 1.2GHz Cortex A-8 processor, which is well complimented by a 1 GB RAM. This combination is as lethal as it looks.

The 8GB of storage capacity might make some eyebrows arch but the 32GB expansion capacity truly makes amend for the relatively small inbuilt storage.

For those who are interested in adding face to the conversation, the Funbook will be having a VGA camera on the front side of the body. So are surely not going to miss on that either.

It has been told in the beginning that the Tablet will be running on the latest Android OS the ICS 4.0.3. The tablet is loaded with various study materials called “Edutainment”.  So both the fun and the learn elements are properly kept intact. The price, till now, has not been brought to light but trade pundits expect it to be somewhere between 7.5 to 9.9K.

Other features are not disclosed by now, but the above mentioned specs are ample evidence that the tablet will create some hullabaloo in the domestic market, some real uproar.

The handset wears a price tag of INR 3000.
