Micromax Canvas Xpress 4G Review


The build of the smartphone is good especially when you compare it to other smartphones in the same price bracket. The curved back feels good and the dark blue color is attractive. The display has good viewing angles. The downside is that the colour reproduction isn't the best especially when you place the CanvasXpress 4G next to the Acer Liquid Z530. The UI on the phone is lightly skinned just like the ones we have seen on other Micromax smartphones. For everyday use the smartphone worked just fine. The call quality was good at both ends. There is a little audio leak from the earpiece at full volume, but I think this also be because the person I was speaking to was yelling. The speaker is positioned at the back of the phone, which isn't ideal if you place it face up on a table and listen to music. Most games run well, but graphically intensive games will suffer on the device.
The battery life : The smartphone lasted for about 7 hours in the GeekBench Battery test. The rear camera of the device is average and works if you want to post them on social networking sites.
If you are in the market to pick up a smartphone  under 7k, there are alot of options available that give the Micromax Canvas Xpressv 4G a run for its memory


FINAL VERDICT:  For a price of Rs. 6,599, the smartphone has 2GB of RAM, good viewing angles, 4G connectivity, and a good build. The camera on the smartphone is average at best, and the performance could have been better, especially when you have the likes of the Meizu M2 in the same price bracket. The audio output from the speaker is slightly soft, when you compare it to the competition, but it is loud when you use it as a loudspeaker during calls.


SPECIFICATIONS:


RAM : 2GB
MEMORY : 16GB
SCREEN SIZE : 5 INCH
OS : ANDROID 5.1 LOLLIPOP
BATTERY 3000mAh
CAMERA : 8MP REAR & 5MP FRONT
SCORE : 6.9/10


PRICE : 6,599

Obi worldphone SF1 Review

Obi has been around for well over a year. Soon after realising that their initial range of strangely-named smartphones were not really a rage in India and other markets, the company has gone back to the drawing board and come out with a new, affordable, Android-based smartphone called the Obi Worldphone SF1. The idea here is to awe with design and surprise with the pricing, but we found the phone has quite a few surprises under its sleeve.


Obi Worldphone SF1

Obi Worldphone SF1 runs Android 5.0.2 operating system but icons inside native apps seem outdated

On paper the Obi Worldphone SF1 (yes, these guys are real good with their names) has a lot to offer. Given that it has a sub-$150 pricing, the phone tries to offer a lot to the customer, especially when it comes to the camera and display. But what really sets this phone apart is its design. No, there are no phones in this price range that look as good. In fact, this US company has managed to give the phone a look that cleverly hides its Chinese origins. While most Chinese phones look the same, this phone is different. After all, it is “Designed in San Francisco and Assembled in China”. Yes, that will take a couple of months to be recreated in Shenzhen.
Specs: 5-inch Full HD IPS panel with Corning Glass 3 | 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 | 3GB RAM | 32GB internal storage expandable by 64GB | 13MP rear camera + 5MP front camera | 3000 mph battery | 4G LTE Dual SIM (micro+nano) | Dolby Audio | Android 5.0
Price: Rs 11,999
