Yu Yuphoria vs Moto E (Gen 2)

May 16, 2015

Yu Yuphoria vs Moto E (Gen 2): The battle of the best budget Android smartphones available in India

The recent smartphone launched by Yu the Yuphoria has been attracting huge number of people wanting to buy it because of the Rs 6999 price tag it comes with, and due to the great specifications that it has to offer for a budget friendly smartphone. The Yu Yuphoria faces a lot of competition from well reputable brand smartphones like the Moto E (2nd gen), Xiaomi Redmi 2 and Lenovo A6000, etc. having the same specifications and price today, we are going to do Yuphoria Vs Moto E(Gen 2).

All of the Moto E (2nd gen), Xiaomi Redmi 2 and Lenovo A6000, etc. are budget Smartphones that are priced at Rs 6999 in India. The comparison table below shows the key specifications of the Yu Yuphoria, The New Moto E, And The Xiaomi Redmi 2 (All of which are similar to the A6000 and A6000 Plus, therefore the specifications for Lenovo A6000, A6000 Plus Not Included). As you can see all of the basically have quite the same specifications, So after seeing the specifications ultimately your choice will depend on brand you are loyal towards.

Out of the whole group of these amazing smartphones, the Yuphoria stands out of all the competition and it also shows that the Moto E 2nd generation is one of its weakest rivals in the market considering what it has to offer in terms of specifications. The 4G capable Yu Yuphoria runs on the Snapdragon 410 chipset with a quad core Cortex A53 CPU, just like the newer and costlier 4G version of the Motorola Moto E. But for Rs 6999, in the Moto E 2nd Gen 3G model you only get 3G and the much older Snapdragon 200 SoC sporting a quad core Cortex A7 processor.

The Yu Yuphoria has twice the amount of RAM and Internal Storage at 2GB and 16GB respectively. You can add another 32GB of memory via the microSD card slot for your media. The MicroSD Card Slot has been now been swiped from the side to the back of the phone where your sim card slots are. It sports an 8MP main camera with LED flash, and front camera of 5MP, while its screen size is 5 inches with a HD 1280 x 720p touchscreen with IPS Display and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

The 2nd gen Moto E makes do with 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM with 32GB expandability. It has a 4.5-inch 540 x 960p qHD display with Gorilla Glass 3 and an 0.3MP webcam sitting above that. Even more disappointing is its 5MP rear camera without flash support. One of the advantages it can boast of is its stock version of Android Lollipop, while Yu has chosen Cyanogen 12 for its Yuphoria, which we love, and can Root/Unlock without voiding the warranty of the phone.

Amazon India is currently accepting registrations for the Yu Yuphoria which will be made available through a flash sale on May 28.

As all changes are done in the memory, you just need to deactivate the module and reboot to get your original system back. There are many other advantages, but here is just one more: Multiple modules can do changes to the same part of the system or app. With modified APKs, you to decide for one. No way to combine them, unless the author builds multiple APKs with different combinations.

What is GravityBox?

GravityBox is a module which primary goal is to provide the users of AOSP devices
with a tweak box to turn their vanilla AOSP ROM into custom ROM packed with additional features and tweaks
without need to flash anything. Most of the preferences can be changed on-the-fly without rebooting.

So lets get started:-

3.) Go to your custom recovery and flash the zip file.

4.) Reboot your Phone.

9.) Reboot and enjoy :)

Mobile Networks Releasing their own Apps

Mobile Network App War

These days many mobile networks are releasing their Applications for smartphones on the App Stores Like Google Play Store, Apple Store, etc. to catch on to the raging fire of more and more people buying a smartphone and using it as their daily driver. The Mobile Network companies like Airtel, Vodafone, etc. have noticed a trend of more and more people wanting to control their Networks Usability by their phones with a single tap, Like paying Phone Bills, setting Data Limits, Apply Internet Packs, etc.. I have Used a lot of Mobile Networks and never felt a problem in most of them in India, but i personally when this App war started i have to say that the mobile network companies want in full on without most of them fully preparing for it as some apps were really nice but some were so bad that you have to say that the companies just wanted to get their own apps out without thinking, and that wasn't bad enough for some of them because their services also went down and you were hung inbetween. But i have to say that the two companies i think that held up were -

Vodafone being a company situated outside of India and their network being so wide and they have been making their app and perfecting it since a long time as the war started outside india first so we will not talk much about them.

But on the other hand Airtel is a Indian Home Grown Company that has shown that Indian Companies can give the big giants outside a huge shake. The Airtel App is very intuitive and really Great looking with a really good User Interface. We tried the My Airtel App on our Smartphones as we have Airtel Broadband, Mobile Services and DTH in our office and homes. And we were really amazed by it's performance, and we chose the best 3 features we liked in the Application and they are as Follows -

Pay Bills and Recharge

The Main Attraction of an App by any Service Provider is Paying Bills and Recharging. Well, The My Airtel App takes it to the next level and let's you pay more bills than other Apps, which only let you pay for their services. But My Airtel App lets you pay for many things like Electricity, Shopping, Online Bills, etc.. And we really love Airtel's approach on this.

Airtel Surprises

You receive amazing coupons from airtel when you open the App and shake the phone or do a recharge, pay bills, etc. this simply means that airtel is paying you for using their App and who does not want to get paid for free and just minding their own business, this shows that Airtel cares for it's customers and wants to give benefits back to its customers,and we are loving what airtel is doing for us.

and finally for the last of the things i love the most in the My Airtel App is

Parental Control

The My Airtel App gives you total control over all the airtel services that you own like Broadband, DTH, SIM Cards, etc. you can manage all of your devices with the App, you can activate or deactivate services that you do not want or need, you can also stop the services for a duration of time, as if you are going out of the home and you don't want your children watching TV or using Net you can just go into the App and stop the services till you get back home.

Download The App Here.

These were the services that we loved what do you people like in the Apps by the Telecom Providers, Be sure to tell us in the comments below.

YU YuFit vs Xiaomi Mi Band

Beetel Bite

May 14, 2015

Following the same route as Xiaomi has taken, Yu Televentures has launched its new smartphone the Yu Yuphoria in India with a fitness tracker named as the YuFit Smart Band to take on the Xiaomi's Mi Band. With a lot of fitness trackers from various companies being flooded into the Indian Markets, it becomes a real pain for the buyer to choose from such a wide variety of wearable devices that are available to him with different features. Therefore, We were really excited to write this post and to pit YuFit vs Mi Band against each other so as to compare which is the best one for you to buy in the budget fitness tracker market. If you are just getting into the market so as to buy a fitness tracker that is cheap and affordable and you are confused between the two of the latest offerings in the budget wearable segment by Yu Televentures and Xiaomi, Read this post as the 2 powers battle it out!

YuFit vs Mi Band

Major Difference

So the Major Difference that we discovered between both the fitness bands is that the Yu YuFit comes with a OLED display while the Xiaomi Mi Band does not sport a screen, just 3 LED Lights. The YuFit's OLED display on the top which shows the user the time, date, details such as the number of steps, etc. It also notifies you of calls and messages just like the Mi Band, but with the screen it makes it more appealing and can give more details than the Mi Band. You can switch between the different modes by simply tapping the on the display of the YuFit.

Compatibility

Both The YuFit and The Mi Band are compatible with both Android and iOS smartphones via Bluetooth which is amazing seeing a cross platform smartwatch, but we are still seeing no sign of compatibility with Windows Phones anytime in the near future. The Mi Band comes and pairs with the Xiaomi's App The Mi Fit while The YuFit pairs with HealthifyMe App available in App stores.

Design

We simply are in love with the Design of both the bands, which are quite similar as they have the same looking bands that the Fitness Tracker is housed in, Both the trackers have elliptical designs and come with rubber bands with dual locking mechanism and you also can adjust according to your wrist size as both of them have ample holes. Both the devices can be removed from the rubber housing bands and are waterproof, so you can wear them into the shower or use them in rain no problem. The Mi Band has got an IP67 rating but nothing was announced regarding what rating the YuFit has, just on their website YU has written waterproof. Just like the Mi Band, the YuFit also transfers your fitness information to your smartphone via Bluetooth.

Functions

The Basic Functions of both the bands pretty much remain same like tracking your steps, sleep, distance travelled and calories burnt, The YuFit comes with some of the additional functions like it displays time, incoming calls and messages on its gorgeouss OLED display. The Mi Band is lacking the display but it compromises with 3 LED light indicators and notify the user about incoming calls, daily goals, etc. on the synced smartphone by vibrating. The highlight of the Xiaomi Mi Band is its impressive battery which Xiaomi says is enough to last for 30 days, but with our tests it is giving us near about 50 days of running continuously.

Application

Both of the devices come with their own applications that let you pair the bands with your smartphone and lets you access and control of the smartband from your smartphone. Mi Band lets you track your steps and your sleep, sleep mode is sometimes buggy as if you have removed and kept the band aside it assumes you are sleeping and takes that time also into account. The YuFit uses an app known as the HealthifyMe which goes beyond the regular step and sleep tracking, which the Mi Band does. You can enter the food you eat and it'll calculate the amount of calories you consume in a day and that includes all the Indian foods as well as said by Yu Televentures. All you have to do is not even type the name and the calories in your food just click a image of the food you had and upload it to the app to find out the number of calories you have consumed. You can also track your fitness activities including group coaching, challenges, social fitness networks and achievements.

You can also have coaches who will listen to you, give you feedback and motivate you in the YuFit App. There are specialized coaches for different activities that you do. For example you can have a nutritionist, a yoga instructor, fitness trainer etc. Yu Televenturess is offering free personal trailer to the first 1000 customers who buy the YuFit Band when it launches next month on yuplaygod.com at a price of Rs 999, which we feel is Amazing. They haven’t mentioned how much it will cost for a personal trainer if you have to pay for it, but we will let you know more about that as we get more information.

Battery

Yu has not yet disclosed the battery capacity for the YuFit Band. On the other hand we already know that The Mi Band ships with a 41mAh Battery Pack which is known for having great battery life and upto 30 days as said by xiaomi. Surely the OLED display will hog the power on the YuFit and will surely drain more battery than the Mi Band, but if Yu Televentures has fitted a bigger battery and optimized it well then it could last for almost as long as The Mi Band. For the same pricing, the YuFit seems to offer a load more features as well as a better app for your smart band. While a few of the details are still unconfirmed regarding the YuFit, it seems that Yu has the upper hand at the moment. Just how well it performs, we will have to wait and see.

Price

Both the bands are priced at Rs. 999, which we say are really nice price tags. The YuFit will go on sale starting June 2015 on company’s official website as told to the press on the launch event. First 1,000 YuFit users will get free lifetime assistance from trainers and coaches, all paid and taken care off. The Mi Band has already been rolled out for flash sales twice and is waiting for the third one. And in the second flash sale it sold out in 22 seconds.

YuFit vs Mi Band: Detailed Comparison

Verdict

Basically the Design, of both the YuFit and the Mi Band looks identical except for the OLED display. Both of the wearables are priced equally i.e. Rs.999, yet the YuFit has an upper hand over the Mi Band. Because, YuFit comes with an OLED display and the feature find my phone which Xiaomi Mi Band lacks. The Application of the YuFit also offers its user to opt in for coaches and trainers for dedicated assistance, which are seemed to be at a cost, we are told it will be at a reasonable cost. The YuFit is certainly packed with much more features than the Xiaomi Mi Band. Moreover, we found out that the Application for the YuFit is much better and superior than the App for the Mi Band, but that is not a figure for a decision as we love Google Fit more and that is compatible with both the bands. The Final Verdict is that The YuFit is a real value for money device at this price point, and comes with much more features than the Mi Band.

Winner (YuFit VS Mi Band)

Yu Yuphoria First Impression

Beetel Bite

May 12, 2015

Today was the launch of an Iconic Mobile in the history of mobiles The YU Yuphoria

We have been speculating about the features of the Yu Yuphoria with all the other techies and you can read all about it here.

So getting to the point, Yu Televentures the sister company of Micromax launched their second groundbreaking smartphone, the Yu Yuphoria today. The phone brings a ton of features which are totally new and first time being introduced to the budget smartphones. Since we have had the pleasure of experiencing the phone, let us take down our first impressions of the Yu Yuphoria. And you bet all the 3 teasers released by Rahul Sharma(CEO, Yu Televentures) have us fully excited.

And here's what Rahul had t say after the event -

Proud of launching not just one but three new products #YUPHORIA, #HEALTHYU and #YUFIT, what do you think about it? pic.twitter.com/HSpCRWItOk

— Rahul Sharma (@rahulsharma) May 12, 2015

Let us start with the front of this amazing phone, the Yu Yuphoria has a stunning 5-inch 720p HD-IPS display, which is great for the price it is up for grabs. We feel that they could have not even pulled off a 720p Screen but they somehow managed and with great perfection.

The IPS panel looks gorgeous for the price of the Yuphoria but has a warmer colour palette, which we personally feel is amazing and our Founder Karan Arora loves it, but it totally depends upon person to person if they like it or not.

The display also comes with the protection of the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which is amazing as we have seen that is is 4X more stronger than normal scratch resistant glass.

The Yu Yuphoria like it's predecessor runs on Cyanogenmod CM12 OS which is based on Android Lollipop 5.0 by google which is said to be the best custom ROM made for Android and the company also allows you to root or unlock your phone without voiding the warranty of the phone, which is so sweet.

This is the first smartphone in the mid-range price segment to feature a full metal band all around it's body made from a single strip of metal not by joining many pieces made possible by breakthrough techniques used in the mobile manufacturing industry for the first time inspired by the automobile industry.

At the back of the Yuphoria, the phone features a matte polycarbonate removable back panel which has a great feel to it of a premium device, and this also makes the phone look like the Nokia Lumia's back whose design everybody in the tech industry love.

At the bottom of the body of the Yuphoria, we see that it houses the speakers underneath its speaker grill which we feel the design is giving class to the back making this look like a flagship phone, the speakers are AAC Speakers with Pure Wolfson Sound with unidirectional sound projection.

At the back the Yuphoria sports an 8MP camera shooter that sits inside a metal ring which Yu is calling the Saturn Rings with a single LED that is sitting in the ring itself on the left side of the lens. The Camera is situated on the middle of the smartphone as keeping in mind that on the edges our fingers usually obstruct the camera's view making our photos to appear not as good as they could have been. Opening the Camera App, we see the clean interface of the Cyanogenmod's Camera App, which is similar to the stock Camera App by Google. and the front camera is of 5MP and has a wide angle lens.

The back is removable with the tab situated at the bottom of the phones back just above the microUSB Port and when opened it reveals a 2300mAh removable battery, which is nice as these days phones are coming with built in batteries. Both the dual-SIM card slots and the microSD card slot are located inside the back panel just above the battery.

We also got time to do some really quick benchmark tests on the Yu Yuphoria, and we were amazed to find such good performance levels check out the scores of all the benchmark tests we did below.

Yu Yuphoria 3DMark Unlimited — 3DMark Unlimited

Check out in the image below how the Yu Yuphoria compares to the Motorola Moto E(2nd gen) (extreme left) and the Lenovo A6000 Plus (extreme right) in size, both of it's competitors in the market right now.

Yu Yuphoria Vs Moto E Vs Lenovo A6000 Plus

On Overall basis, the Yu Yuphoria looks an irresistible smartphone and also is a excellent competitor in the budget segment of smartphones, but how well does it stack up against the competition? You'll have to wait for our full review for that answer. and also to know if all the bugs and kinks of the Yu Yureka are rectified or not.

BlackBerry Leap launch in India

Beetel Bite

May 11, 2015

BlackBerry Leap Launch

BlackBerry is set to launch its new Smartphone The BlackBerry Leap in India the next week. If you have been waiting to find the price of the newly launching BlackBerry Leap, well, your wait is over. Beetel Bite has learnt from its sources inside RIM that the BlackBerry will be priced Rs. 21,490.

BlackBerry Leap sports a 5 inch 720p display with Gorilla Glass 3 for protection, BlackBerry has ditched the keyboard for this one. It is powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz processor by Qualcomm known as the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 and it will also come with Adreno 225 GPU for best Graphic Performance and 2GB of RAM, which these days is standard. BlackBerry Leap has 16GB of internal storage that is expandable via a MicroSD Card upto 128GB.

The BlackBerry Leap comes with the BlackBerry's latest Operating System the BlackBerry OS 10.3.1. It also sports an 8MP rear camera(Primary) and a 2MP front camera(Secondary). BlackBerry Leap comes with a 2800mAh battery, which, the company claims to offer up to 25 hours of 'mixed usage' i.e. Daily Usage of an average person. The BlackBerry Leap does not support TDD-LTE Band 40 that's used by current 4G network providers in India, but it is compatible with the FDD-LTE Band 3 that is likely to be used by most of the operators in india in the near future.

BlackBerry Leap was unveiled this year at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The company said at that time that it plans to roll out two more new BlackBerry smartphones over the course of the next few months, both with a physical keyboard, which have yet to be seen.

While the BlackBerry Leap is a good mid-range smartphone by RIM, one of the smartphones coming later this year by BlackBerry is speculated to be a high-end smartphone which will be featuring a dual curve screen which will be fully touch with a slide down keyboard behind the screen. We did not get a code name for it from BlackBerry or our sources so we are going to call it The BB Slide, BlackBerry Chief Executive Officer John Chen told the media while MWC in Barcelona. "It will come some time this year" he added without giving a specific date but also saying soon.

How To Sync Photos to your Apple Watch

Beetel Bite

May 11, 2015

Transfer Your Images To Apple Watch

Despite of the Apple Watch sporting a small screen, the OLED display is a really bright and vibrant. Which in turn makes the images on the watch look great and really awesome, making it a perfect canvas for your photos, which you love to keep as memories of the past and present.

How To Sync Photos to your Apple Watch

Users of the watch are limited to syncing only one album at a time from their iPhone to the Apple Watch, which really is time consuming and simply said boring. And to manage which of the albums is synced and whichever are not, Just open up the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and go ahead and open up the Photos Tab.

From this panel, you can choose what to do like whether to Mirror your iCloud Photos notifications or create a custom alert scheme, which i feel is quite awesome. Tap the Photo Limit option at the bottom of the screen.

This will be totally similar as to syncing your music on your Apple Watch, users can choose how many photos, and how much memory that it will take up to save on the device. Make a selection go back to the previous menu by tapping the back key.

Tap on Synced Album tab to get options and choose which iPhone photo album to save on Apple Watch. Users can also choose their favorites so any new photo that will be favorited in the future will automatically be sent to Apple Watch, and get added, Now no manual Labour needed.

Once an album that you have selected is added to the watch, navigate to the Photos app on your Apple Watch.

This is a fairly basic app that you get preinstalled, Photos on the Watch in which you get features like you can zoom in and out on images using the Digital Crown. Pinch to zoom gimmick will not be working in the Photos app which is a bummer as people loved that little gimmick, but users can now scroll and pan by touching the images, which is okay by us as it is not a special feature but it is good that Apple did not remove this also with the Digital Crown.

You are done...

Huawei Honor 4C First Impressions

Beetel Bite

May 9, 2015

Huawei has launched two budget devices at an event in India on May 8. The two phones that Huawei has launched are the Huawei Honor 4C and the Huawei Honor Bee with the price tags of Rs 8,999 and Rs 4,999 respectively. While the Huawei Honor Bee is slated to compete in the entry level market with the Micromax Canvas Spark, Unite 3, Redmi, etc. it is the Huawei Honor 4C that caught our eye and is aiming for the people who want a feature rich smartphone, with good on-board specifications.

Design and Build

Looking at the Huawei Honor 4C and you will notice that it looks a lot like it big bad brother the Honor 4X. The Huawei Honor 4C has all the similar design elements of the Honor 4X such as the textured plastic removable back cover, the same positioning and the look of the camera, similar flat edges and so on. The device is 8.8mm thin and has a weight of 162 grams, which is impressive at this price level. The overall build quality is good and the carved ‘honor’ branding on the rear side and the silver coloured rim around the front face adds a bit of elegance to the device, which makes it look much premium than it is and gives a visual effect of being a flagship phone, which it is not. Surprisingly, the white coloured model looks more attractive than one in black, due to the chrome finish and much more elegant background. The phone has a nice grip to it. The rear cover is removable, but sadly the battery isn't, which makes it impossible to use the old way of switching off your phone when it hangs, we simply removed the battery. You will need to remove the rear cover to add in the microSD card or the dual SIMs.

Display

The Huawei Honor 4C comes with a 5-inch 1280 x 720 pixel display, which is a 720p display i have to say i expected more but the price tag also suffices for it. This gives it a pixel density of 294 ppi which is reasonably decent display at the price point. The display is bright and vibrant, but one thing that is annoying is that the screen is a fingerprint magnet. The display has an IPS panel so the viewing angles are great, but there is no Corning Gorilla Glass protection, which is a downer.

Chipset, RAM, Storage

Just like the Honor 4X, the Honor 4C also has a HiSilicon Kirin chipset. The Kirin 620 system on chip houses a 64-bit octa-core Cortex A53 processor clocked at 1.2GHz along with Mali T450 GPU, which we feel is a decent spec. sheet as for the price they are offering it for. While the chipset supports 4G LTE as well, the Honor 4C is not a 4G phone, which comes as a shock as now all the phones in this price bracket in the market are offering 4G LTE. According to GSMArena, the Kirin 620 is comparable to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 410 SoC. We will have to compare performance numbers to say for sure. The chipset is paired with 2GB of RAM, which in these days is essential.

The Huawei Honor 4C comes with 8GB of storage and you have the option to expand it via a microSD card slot which can be accessed by opening the rear cover, which comes as no surprise.

Connectivity, OS

On the connectivity front, you have 3G Dual SIM support. As mentioned above, the Honor 4C does not support 4G LTE in India. Apart from this you get Wi-fi 802.11n, Wi-fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0 along with GPS/GLONASS.

Just like the Honor 4X, the Honor 4C also sports the Emotion UI 3.0 skin atop the Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS, which is said to be upgradable to Lollipop soon.

Camera, Battery

Huawei Honor 4C comes loaded with a 13MP rear camera and also packs a 5MP front-facing camera, which we feel is awesome. The rear camera comprises a Sony BSI sensor and comes with an f/2.0 aperture lens, and let's just face it sony lenses are the best lenses available for mobiles at this point. The UI on the camera app is similar to what we had seen on the Honor 4X as well as the Honor 6 Plus, and we have to say that we simply love it.

The Huawei Honor 4C has got a 2550mAh battery which is not removable, and that we do not like a bit. While taking a look at the battery capacity it seems like the phone should be able to hold up to a day’s worth of usage. But we will reserve our final verdict till we put the phone through our tests.

Conclusion

Huawei’s online brand Honor is trying to woo buyers who are buying a smartphone for the first time or those who already had a smartphone, but are looking for a budget upgrade. For a Rs 8,999 price point, the phone packs in lot of features, but how the phone performs as an everyday device is what will matter. Many will point out the fact that the phone lacks 4G support, which is a fair point considering many players have released budget devices even under Rs 8,999 with 4G LTE support. But at the moment, the 4G LTE is limited to only a few pockets in the country, but it is always better to have the option to future proof your device. But who knows, just like Moto E, Huawei may also release a 4G variant if it deems necessary. At Rs 8,999, the Huawei will be competing against Yu Yureka and Lenovo A7000, both of which are capable devices. Not to mention the Lenovo A6000, Moto E, Xiaomi Redmi 2 as well. We will have to run the Honor 4C through our tests to see which one emerges as the winner.

If everything fails just contact your manufacturers service center and tell them any fake story that can be realistic and tell them to find the problem or tell me whats wrong. By my personal experience I can actually say that 70% of the time service centers are unable to find the flaw and are unable to identify that its a rooted and a bricked device both at the same time. So they will surely give you a replacement in a short amount of time. You will have to be patient of course, as you are giving your device a second bonus life without even spending a penny over it.
