Huawei P8 Lite goes official in India 2015

Huawei finally launched the successor to last year’s Ascend P7 smartphone, and the Huawei P8 is everything we imagined based on months of rumors.

Huawei P8 Lite

 Design and Display

Huawei’s P line of phones have always looked attractive, partially due to how much the company borrows from the iPhone design and Sony’s Xperia phone design. The P8 looks even sleeker than last year’s model with polished, double-chamfered edges just like those found on the iPhone 5. The 5.2-inch IPS screen is almost bezel-free with a resolution of 1,920 x 1080 pixels, and the entire device is encased in an aluminum unibody. Despite sporting such a big screen, it has a waistline of just 7.7mm and more importantly weight of just 131g.

Configuration & OS

The Huawei P8 Lite is runs the show with a 2,200mAh Li-ion battery. On the connectivity front, we have options like 4G (specific regions), 3G, GLONASS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v4.1, USB port, Mobile hotspot and GPS/A-GPS.

Verdict

The Huawei P8 Lite, as the name indicates, is unbelievably light available at a mid range price. It justifies its price with quality features in every department including an octa-core processor and latest Android OS. A better battery would have been good but that’s okay considering its weight.

Paired with a 1GB DDR3 RAM, it ensures powerful and seamless performance. It ships with HTC Sense UI based on Android v4.4 KitKat OS which is a bit disappointing considering the flurry of smartphones with the latest Lollipop OS.

Camera and Storage

The HTC Desire 626G Plus is armed with an excellent 13MP autofocus camera at the back which supports BSI sensor, LED flash, touch to focus, f/2.2 aperture, geo-tagging, face detection and HDR and can shoot full HD movies at 30fps.

Verdict

The HTC Desire 626G Plus is a big 5-inch midrange phablet with the main selling point being the octa-core processor. However, if you take that out, then you are left with pretty ordinary features which is disappointing in light of its price.

Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 – Price,Review 2015

DELL ANNOUNCED at Dell World this week that it is giving its Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 series Windows tablet a significant upgrade in a bid to give Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3 a run for its money.

The Venue 11 Pro aims to “accelerate productivity for mobile workers” in the enterprise space with a thinner and fanless design, an extended battery life that claims to “get through the work day”, a travel keyboard for a full laptop experience and a full HD display.

Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 Tablet :

Design & Display

The Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 has 1920×1080 resolution full HD IPS display is one of the nicest features. However, despite its name, it doesn’t measure 11in. It’s actually 10.8in. But it’s a good size and is vibrant enough for everyday use. Images appear detailed with no jagged text, and it proved very responsive to touch in our tests. The tablet is also much snappier than Dell’s previous Atom-powered tablets.

Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 Tablet

Configuration & OS

The Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 is powered by an Intel Core M CPU and will be available at launch with an Intel Core-M 5Y10a processor or the more enterprise-oriented Intel M-5Y70 CPU.

These also support for Intel’s vPro technology for CPU-level security and IT management capabilities. RAM options are 4GB or 8GB.

Unfortunately we didn’t have long enough with the Venue 11 Pro to really put it through its paces, but we did have a quick play around on it.

Operations were fluid and the Windows 8.1 operating system proved very responsive. We are looking forward to testing it thoroughly in a full review.

The Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 can be configured with additional security features including two-factor authentication with integrated smartcard and fingerprint readers, as well as the Dell Data Protection suite of client security software.

Connectivity & Storage

The Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 will ship with solid-state storage of 64GB, 128GB or 256GB, which can be upgraded via the built-in card reader up to 64GB.

In terms of connectivity, there’s a USB 3.0 port on the side and a micro HDMI port. It supports Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. LTE mobile broadband is available as an added-cost option.

Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 Tablet

Verdict

With its range of accessories, the Dell Venue Pro is more of a hybrid pc than a tablet. On the downside, the tablet along with the keyboard dock can give your pocket a hefty setback.
