Top 5 Android Mobiles from Indian Brands

Top 5 Android Mobiles

Every day there is a new handset making their way into the market and the smartphone industry has grown by such great leaps and bounds, that every single company wants a piece of that pie and that has paved the way for die hard, cut throat competition. So along with the foreign companies having their presence here, even the Indian companies are expanding in and launching some great flagships with really awesome hardware inside at a very low cost.

Today we are seeing the top 5 android mobiles from Indian brands.

1.  Micromax Canvas HD

Truly by far the market leader in India among domestic phone makers, Micromax has brand recognition like none other; maybe the first Indian company to eat into Nokia’s market share before the entry of Samsung. Its current flagship, the Canvas HD has been consistently selling like hot cakes which even led to huge waiting periods due to non-availability of the phone. The phone is a sleek piece with some awesome configuration for its price. A 5” IPS LCD with 1280 X 720 pixels at 294 ppi., 1.2 GHz Quad core Cortex-A7 processor and 1 GB RAM coupled with 3G, 2000 mAh large battery and 8MP primary and 2MP secondary camera, this phone is literally a top class phone and a steal for its price. The phone sits right in the middle of the Micromax mobile price list, making it a highly attractive buy.

 

2. Karbonn Titanium S5

Karbonn is comparatively a new entrant in the market but has not failed to make its mark within no time. It started out with some budget smartphones and quickly moved on to high end phones still in the budget range. Best price has always been its strong point and has managed to provide stiff competition to other companies. Its flagship the Titanium S5 has created a stir in the good sense of course. It has a 5” IPS LCD qHD screen with 540 x 960 pixels resolution at 220 ppi. It has a 1.2 GHz Quad core CPU and Adreno 203 GPU. Along with that it has 1GB of RAM, 2000 mAh battery that lasts long and 8MP primary and 2MP secondary camera.

 

 

 

3. Lava Iris 504q

Lava is a new entrant to the smartphone market. It earlier partnered with Xolo but now has launched an independent phone. The Iris 504q has some interesting new features like Gesture Controlled which is found in only premium phones. It has a 5” IPS LCD screen with 1280 x 720 pixels resolution at 294 ppi., 1.2 GHz Quad core ARMv7 CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 2000 mAh battery and 8MP primary and 2MP secondary camera.

 

 

 

4. Xolo Q1000

Another one from the same club, the Q1000 is pretty much similar to the Micromax and Lava flagships. The Q1000 has a 5” IPS LCD screen with 1280 x 720 pixels resolution at 294 ppi. It has under it a 1.2 GHz Quad core CPU, PowerVR SGX544 GPU, 1 GB RAM and a 2100 mAh battery for the powerful GPU. It has an 8MP primary and 1.2MP secondary camera, 3G and many other features.

 

 

 

5. Intex Aqua I-5

The newest entrant to the league, Intex has promised to offer a bit extra than the rest and they have actually delivered. It has a 5” qHD display like the Karbonn Titanium S5 and runs on a 1.2 GHz Quad core Cortex A7 processor, SGX 5t GPU, 1 GB RAM, 2000 mAh battery. You might wonder what is extra here, but here it is. It has a 12MP primary and 2MP secondary camera on it. Also with its steal price of INR 10,999/- on snapdeal.com, it sure packs a lot extra for the price.

We saw the top 5 android phones from Indian brands. There are many others in the pipeline to arrive yet like the Micromax Canvas 4, Karbonn S6, etc. which are touted to have a full HD screen and 13 MP cameras. But they are yet a long way till they arrive in the stores. And also it is a note to be made that all the above mentioned phones are sub 20,000 phones whereas phones from large phone makers like HTC, Samsung, etc. charge above 30,000 for phones with similar configuration.

4 Hidden Link Building Ways To Get Traffic To Your Site

The great advancement made in the internet technology has led to increased competition in internet marketing. With the increased number of websites competing to gain high ranking and traffic in the search engines, there is a need for site owner to develop effective strategies in order to succeed. As a site owner, one of the most lucrative ways you can get traffic to your site is through link building. There are different ways you can gain traffic on your site through link building. Below are 4 hidden link building ways to get traffic to your site.


1. Maximize the use of Infographics


Due to the fact that you might be working on a low budget, it might be tricky to get the required links. However, by utilizing infographics you can get hooked with the marketing ROI you are searching. Infographics have the capacity to make your site gain a lot of visitors and backlinks over a short period of time. If you do not have an expert to design infographic, there are many designers in the market who can provide quality services at an affordable price. Once you get the infographic, just post it on your business blog and send it to the top blogs in your niche eg : if your site is related to fitness pools then you can approach health and fitness related bloggers. If it is well designed other bloggers and site owners will post it on their blogs or websites with a link back to you.


2. Leveraging local PR


Make use of your local audience to build great relationship and connection with them. It is not mandatory for you to link with the most popular sites or blogs in order to get traffic. Build content that is relevant to the local people and that which meets their needs more effectively. By doing this you end up attaining great SEO authority and make your site have a large number of visitors.


3. Transform your brand or site mentions into link


In the internet marketing industry, it is a common trend for media sites and bloggers to mention your brand, but never link to your site. Mentioning is good in helping your site become popular. However, you can maximize the use of the mentions by turning them into live links. This will help your site gain more traffic and referrals. There are various sites that can be of great help in determining the mentions your site received from social media networks, new sites and blogs. If you get to find a mention in a post that is not linked it is good to reach the blogger. Show your appreciation for their mention and request if they can change the mention into a search engine friendly link.


4. Be a guest blogger


By guest blogging you will get referral traffic or links on your site. Guest blogging helps your site become popular among other site owners or bloggers. It does not matter whether you have the resources or other skills to carry out large scale guest blogging; it is good to integrate it in your internet marketing. You can search for sites that accept guest blogs using Google strings more easily.

Google Wireless balloon project

Google Wireless Balloon Project

Google Seeks to Expand Global Internet Access by Launching Google Wireless Balloons
In an astonishing tactical maneuver, Google has announced their aspirations of developing a google wireless balloon technology that has the potential to substantially expand internet access to underdeveloped regions across the world. The ambitious project could create a considerable increase in Google's consumer base, while simultaneously providing online outreach to countries that have been neglected by mainstream internet providers. Although the concept might seem futuristically outlandish, the company plans to start deploying the balloons when the google wireless technology receives certifications of compliance with an extensive litany of governmental regulations.

The first areas being targeted by this ambitious initiative are predominantly in Asia and Africa. Marketplace analysts postulate that Google is aiming for a monopoly on internet access in places that have been deprived of networking capabilities. If this google wireless venture is successful, Google will have approximately one billion new customers that have no other internet options. Being the sole provider to these rapidly expanding locales will allow the online mogul to earn exorbitant profits from an exclusive clientele that encompasses enough customers to constitute a cartel.

Google's rivals will be hard-pressed to compete against this strategic investment, especially because the google wireless balloon technology is inexpensive in comparison to the standard tower development employed by leading competitors. Furthermore, the concept is rather timely, which will allow it to be available well before any standard internet services arrive. The prospective time-frame that Google is adhering to would grant them at least a year to accumulate users before other industry giants would have a chance to contest them.

The core machinery being incorporated consists of advanced blimps being equipped with powerful frequency emitters that can reach hundreds of miles from a central location. The signals are specifically designed to maintain extreme resiliency in high altitudes.

Even if Google only acquires the slightest proportion of the untapped global populace, they will witness a dramatic rise in their yearly revenue. This is because their primary financial support comes from widespread advertising capabilities. Every new customer will provide an incremental boost in advertisement income; therefore, a small percentage of unshared users can generate an exponential rise in lucre.
