Micromax Unite 3 With Android 5.0 Lollipop Available Online at Rs. 6,569
Micromax appears set to launch the new Unite 3 smartphone, which is now listed on the company's website and also available via a third-party online retailer at Rs. 6,569.
The official site also lists that the Micromax Unite 3 will come with a free bundled data offer from Vodafone offering up to 500MB (2G/3G) of free data per month for the first two months. Notably, the Micromax Canvas Unite 3 is the third handset in the series with the other two being - Micromax Unite and Micromax Unite 2, which both of them were so good that they are now one's of the many top selling smartphones that micromax manufactures.
Much like its predecessors, the Unite 3 also supports multiple languages and comes preloaded with support for 10 regional languages, and English. The smartphone includes a new feature that lets users translate a message from English to the language of choice and vice versa.
For specifications, Micromax Unite 3 is a dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) smartphone which runs Android 5.0 Lollipop out-of-the-box, considering that it is the latest and greatest from google. It comes with a 4.7-inch (480x800 pixels) WVGA IPS display, which we feel could have had improvements and at least be a 720p HD Display and for that we are not happy with the display, i mean they could have cut the cost elsewhere if they wanted but not on the screen as these days almost all smartphones have HD Display panels, They even went ahead and even showed us that this could be done with their new phone the Canvas Spark. The smartphone is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek (MTK6582M) processor coupled with 1GB of RAM like it's predecessor the Unite 2. It comes with 8GB of inbuilt storage, which is further expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB). It sports an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera with LED flash, while there is a secondary 2-megapixel fixed-focus front camera also on board.
On the connectivity front, the Unite 3 offers 3G, GPRS/ EDGE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Micro-USB, and Bluetooth options. The smartphone packs a 2000mAh battery, which according to the official listing is rated to deliver up to 8 hours of talk time and up to 220 hours of standby time. It also includes light, gravity, and proximity sensors.
The smartphone comes preloaded with apps such as Ask me, Chaatz, Clean master, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Hotstar, Newshunt, Paytm, Quicker, Snapdeal, and SwiftKey, which seriously are so bad bloatwares that you would want to uninstall them the moment you get your hand on your new Phone. The Unite 3 is available at Infibeam.

Contrary to expectations of people, Microsoft shocked us and did not announce the arrival of the Surface Pro 4, its latest tablet/laptop hybrid, during its April 29 - May 1 Build 2015 Developer Conference in San Francisco, California.
New speculations point that the Surface Pro 4 will debut on May 20th which is set as a mystery launch date by microsoft.
Earlier, the Chinese website 36kr quoted that they have a reliable insider in the company who is saying that the device will come with a powerful processor just like its predecessor, the Surface Pro 3. It specifically would have a Core i5 Broadwell CPU and not the Core M which was recently featured on the less expensive Surface 3 and even on the latest MacBook from Apple.
This possible increase in processing power will make the Surface Pro 4 as powerful as many laptops in the market.
However, the device is rumored to have no fans on board. As such, it may have to deal with the overheating issues that the core i7 models of its predecessor encountered, but we can be wrong as there are technologies which can make without the fan and work perfect.
Analysts say Broadwell chips are better when it comes to heat dissipation. This could be the primary reason why Microsoft has chosen to go with it.
As for the display on the Surface Pro 4, it is expected to be around the same size as its predecessor's 12 inches. Coming to the stylus, it is widely expected to use the active stylus of N-Trig, a company Microsoft bought last year.
We are really excited about this product, what about you tell us in the comments below.

It’s very difficult to pick Top 10 Video Games Of 2015. 2015 is filled with interesting and exciting titles, from PC and new-gen exclusives, to cross-platform entries, and from sequels to brand-new IPs. In this post we’ll take a look at a bunch of these, and we’ll do so in alphabetical order. In fact, we won’t even bother with long intros. We’ll just dive right in.
Assassin’s Creed: Victory
The last major Assassin’s Creed release was a disaster in about every way imaginable. Perhaps “Victory” should be retitled “Redemption” for 2015, because Ubisoft needs to knock this one out of the park just to save face. Then again, the lackluster Assassin’s Creed III was followed up in 2013 by the marvelous Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, so anything’s possible. This time around, our merry band of assassin’s will haunt the streets of Victorian London. Yet To Be Launched.
Battlefield: Hardline
Cops and robbers replace soldier on soldier action in EA’s next big competitive shooter. From what I've seen of the game, the cops and robbers in question may as well be soldiers, however, replete with military-grade arsenal. Still, this might make for a nice twist on the genre. Maybe a clever developer could copy the formula a bit and come out with an Al Capone era game. Old cars and tommy guns would be a nice change of pace.
The final game in the Arkham series, Arkham Knight is the first new-gen game in Rocksteady’s incredible foray into the Batman universe. It’s also the first time you can drive the Batmobile. It looks amazing, and makes me want to play through all the Arkham games again ahead of time.
One of the most unique looking Xbox One exclusives, Below is being described as a challenging game filled with exploration and brutal combat. It’s also a roguelike with permadeath steeped in atmosphere. Studio Capybara has worked on titles like Super TIME Force and worked alongside Superbrothers on the fascinating Sorcery game, which makes Below even more intriguing. Yet To Be Launched.
Bloodborne
There aren't many games on this list that pique my hype as much as Bloodborne, the spiritual successor to From Software’s Souls games. This time around, the game is set in a dark, Gothic world filled with shambling villagers and massive werewolves. The combat is fast and ferocious, and new gameplay elements such as randomly generated dungeons promise to greatly change up a familiar formula, while still keeping the same, distinctive sense of challenge and despair.
The first truly open-world Zelda game looks absolutely jaw-dropping. If this doesn’t sell Wii U units nothing will. So far, everything I've seen about the new Zelda game points to something truly special.
The Phantom Pain - Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes was basically just a preview—a sort of short, over-priced tech demo—of things to come in The Phantom Pain, Hideo Kojima’s biggest, most open-world game to date. The game follows Venom Snake (aka Big Boss and several other aliases) and his new Diamond Dogs as they venture into Afghanistan during the Soviet war. This time around Snake will be voiced by actor Kiefer Sutherland instead of long-time Snake actor David Hayter.
The long-awaited return to one of gaming’s most storied and infamous fighting games actually looks pretty decent so far. I can’t wait to “Finish Him!” though I suspect the gore of Mortal Kombat will no longer be as surprising as it once was, long ago in a more innocent time.
From Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, starring Daryl from The Walking Dead, I’m mostly excited about the new Silent Hill game Silent Hills because of the scare factor in the glorious PT demo we got in 2014. Scary is hard to pull off in a video game, but if anyone can surprise us it’s Kojima. (And yes, he is an odd choice for this franchise but sometimes the odd choice is the right choice.) The release date has been pushed to 2016.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
By far the most impressive video game I witnessed at PlayStation Experience, Uncharted 4 is the first new-gen entry in the chronicles of Nathan Drake and it looks beyond stunning. The game demo played in front of a packed audience in Las Vegas earlier this December drew cheers and gasps of surprise. The graphics and action were both like nothing we've seen before from the series, and this easily makes my top five most anticipated games of 2015. Release Date pushed to 2016.
So what did I miss?
Some games like the Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem sound pretty amazing, but there’s so little information out there right now there’s no telling if they’ll even release in 2015. Surely a Call of Duty and a Skylanders will release, but we don't know what they are just yet.
And I've little doubt that finally, finally Valve will release Half-Life 3 on the very same day The Last Guardian hits shelves.
But seriously, if I missed something please chime in on social media or in the comments. I can't keep track of every promising future video game.
We use our phones for nearly everything, which is why accessories can be incredibly important. They can protect our phones from getting scratched after a tough fall, but they can also help you get more out of your device. From portable chargers to clip-on camera lenses, here's a look at the Top 10 Accessories For The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus worth checking out so far in 2015.
Bluetooth Speaker
A Bluetooth Speaker is necessary these days as the consumers of mobile phones have started using their Mobiles as a Music player also and they want to hear songs on their mobiles but let's just face the truth that the speakers on the Mobile Phones these days are bad as hell, they can be not so loud or clear as the people want them to be, but don't worry we have a solution for you and that is get a speaker but people don't want to deal with cords, so just get the better option in the market which is the bluetooth speaker. JBL is a great company at making bluetooth speakers, and their best product is the pulse.
A Power Bank is the most necessary thing to have if you own an Apple iPhone, as due to the iPhone having the least amount of battery provided and you being needing to charge it more than once a day makes having a power bank a necessary accessory with the iPhone. We suggest having the Xiaomi Mi Power banks as they look elegant with the full aluminium body and have nice features such as surge protection, fast charging, etc.
We all know that a phone in day to day usage falls from our hands occasionally and as time passes we tend on handling our phone more and more harshly, and all iPhone users know that iPhone's screens are the most delicate of all the screens that are in the market on the other phones, so if you drop your iPhone you are most probably going to see a crack or the whole screen shattered. But to protect your phone you can have installed a Glass Screen Gaurd on your phone and that will protect your iPhone's screen from getting damaged.
We all know that we need an assistant in the car for sometimes playing music, showing us maps, finding the name of the song playing on the radio, and what would be much better for doing that than siri. and if you don't want to crash into to front car you need a much better option for holding and viewing your iPhone and that is where a car mount comes into play and saves your life and helps your mobile help you better.
consumers of mobile phones have started using their Mobiles as a Music players also and they want to hear songs on their mobiles but let's just face the truth that the speakers on the Mobile Phones these days are bad as hell, they can be not so loud or clear as the people want them to be, but don't worry we have a solution for all you music junkies is to get a pair of the best earbuds that you can use, and for some people a pair of earbuds is a one time investment and they will use them until they beat a pulp out of the earbuds so just get the best option in the market which is the
Everyone having an Apple iPhone wants to use it's amazing Camera to get pictures for facebook, instagram, and people love to put effects, and love to play around with their photos. So what if we tell you that you cn play around with the photos even more with detachable lenses.
The iPhone's battery life isn't bad, but it isn't awesome, either. With careful use, you can make your iPhone’s battery last all day. If you want to work your iPhone hard, however, particularly when you're traveling or otherwise away from places to recharge the device, you need a battery case.
Regardless of which battery case you choose, a bit of advice: Your iPhone 5 requires more juice to charge the final 20 percent of the way. Turn on your battery case when the iPhone's battery level drops to around 20 percent remaining, and then turn the case off again when your iPhone hits 80 percent. That strategy will maximize how much battery goodness you can squeeze from the case while you're out and about.
The primary purpose of a USB flash drive is to make it easier to transfer files on the go, and i-FlashDrive HD takes that concept to another level. It's the only USB drive of its kind that features an integrated Lightning dock connector, which means you won't have to search for Wi-Fi or a USB stick and an adapter to transfer photos from your iPhone or iPad to a PC.
In these Days people don't like wires all that much, but iPhones tend to run out of battery quite soon, and people want a solution through which they can throw their phone on and get the charge fast and easy. Go Ahead and buy a wireless charger.
We are suggesting to use a Nokia Charging Plate as we feel it is the best and a reliable company, with great products.
If you feel a different Charging Plate is better please write the company and the model down below in the comments section.
Let's face it there are much more accessories prevalent in the market for the previous gen iPhone's with the 30 pin connector than the new lightning one and maybe you had a previous iPhone and you don't want to throw away the accessories as they are useful and well they costed a lot and you don't want to go to the market and buy the same old accessories with the new connecter which are now more expensive. So why not buy the converter and just use the old accesories.
