The offering includes a performance cruiser Breakout at a price of Rs. 16.28 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), which is the latest addition to the Harley-Davidson’s Softail family of motorcycles.<br/><br/>The new offerings also include the hand-crafted CVO Limited, which is priced at Rs. 49.23 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi). Along with that, Harley-Davidson also launched the Street Glide Special priced at Rs. 29.70 lakh. With the launch of these three bikes, Harley-Davidson India now has a product line-up of 13 models in the domestic market, as per the company’s Managing Director Anoop Prakash.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.autogyaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/14-hd-cvo-limited-bs.jpg"><img alt="14 hd cvo limited bs 690x254 Harley Davidson Rolls Out Three New Bikes for the Indian Market" class="wp-image-11741 size-large" height="254" src="http://www.autogyaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/14-hd-cvo-limited-bs-690x254.jpg" title="Harley Davidson Rolls Out Three New Bikes for the Indian Market" width="690" /></a><br/><p class="body">According to a statement from the company, Breakout will be assembled at its Bawal plant in Haryana. It is the first bike in the company’s line-up in India to offer a Hard Candy Custom metal flake colour, Quicksilver Flake.</p><br/><p class="body">Harley-Davidson’s Street Glide Special is a fully-loaded version of the popular performance Touring model, equipped with the High Output Twin Cam 103 powertrain, the Boom! Box 6.5 GT Infotainment System, a batwing fairing with splitstream vent and a dual halogen headlamp.</p><br/><p class="body">“We are reaching out to a lot of younger riders,” Prakash said. As Harley nourishes in India with rock music festivals and bike rallies, the new offerings would prove attractive to aspirational young Indians, for whom a motorcycle is more than simply the cheapest form of motorised transport.</p><br/><p class="body">“Motorcycles launched today have always had an incredibly passionate following here. These latest offerings demonstrate Harley-Davidson’s commitment to delivering a world-class product that caters to our customers,” added Prakash.</p><br/><p class="body">India is the world’s largest motorcycle market after China, but the roads are packed with cheaper models. Harley wants to change this scenario by appealing to the youth of the country, who are the biggest buyers in the two-wheeler automobile industry. Makers of the high-end motorcycles, from Ducati to Yamaha Motor, are only just breaking into the market.</p><br/><br/><div class="grid"></div><br/><div class="article__meta  article--single__meta"><br/><h4></h4><br/><div class="btn-list"><br/><div class="btn  btn--small  btn--secondary"></div><br/></div><br/></div><br/></article><br/><div class="grid__item  one-third  palm-one-whole  sidebar"></div>

Top 5 Coolest Features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4

<h1 class="article__title  article__title--single"></h1><br/><div class="article__title__meta"><br/><div class="article__author-name"></div><br/></div><br/>Samsung showed off the new Galaxy Note 4 at IFA Berlin 2014. Now, the company has launched latest Note flagship in India for Rs 61,500 today at a press conference in New Delhi. The Galaxy Note 4 takes all the features that made the Note 3 a blockbuster and ups the stake with a premium metal build, a fingerprint scanner and tons of software improvements. And as the name implies, it retains the S Pen stylus that made previous Galaxy Note phones great for taking notes. Other upgrades include a slightly speedier processor and a battery that charges 50 per cent faster.<br/><br/>We are listing the top 5 features of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4:<br/><h3>1. MULTI-TASKING MADE EASY</h3><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/note_4_multitasking.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-87111" height="388" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/note_4_multitasking-690x388.jpg" title="Top 5 Coolest Features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4" width="690" /></a><br/><br/>When it comes to mobile multitasking, Samsung smartphones are one of the best in the market. The Galaxy Note 4 adds even more multitasking options to help you stay productive on the go. The standard Multi Window mode returns, letting you run two apps at once in a split-screen view; just swipe in from the left side of the screen to open the Multi Window app drawer, then drag any two apps onto the screen to view them side-by-side. You can still turn your phone to view the apps stacked horizontally or vertically, and drag the border between them to resize the windows.<br/><h3>2. UPDATED STYLUS</h3><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/spen_0.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87108" height="555" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/spen_0.jpg" title="Top 5 Coolest Features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4" width="690" /></a><br/><br/>What makes the Note series a start is its ability take notes with an amazing accessory called S-Pen. As in previous Galaxy Note releases, the Note 4’s stylus stows easily in a slot at the bottom of the device when not in use. Sliding it out instantly transforms your phone into a note-taking machine, letting you write out notes and draw diagrams right on the device’s display. With Note 4, S-pen has also undergone some changes. It is slimmer with better grip and with improved pressure sensitivity on the tip. Compared to the Note 3, the Note 4’s pen recognizes twice as many levels of pressure as you press down on the screen, allowing for smoother, more natural handwriting.<br/><h3>3. PRO-SELFIE CAMERA</h3><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/camera_1.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-87109" height="521" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/camera_1-690x521.jpg" title="Top 5 Coolest Features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4" width="690" /></a><br/><br/>One other big improvement is the camera.  You can use the camera in unison with the S Pen. A new feature called Snap Note allows you to take a picture of a piece of paper (or whiteboard) and change what’s in the picture. One of the best features on new Note 4 is Wefies or wide selfies, which much like panorama mode lets you take wide selfies. Samsung has also added Optical image stabilization (OIS) in the Galaxy Note 4.<br/><h3>4.  SECURITY FEATURES</h3><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/galaxy-note-4-fingerprint-scanner.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87112" height="400" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/galaxy-note-4-fingerprint-scanner.jpg" title="Top 5 Coolest Features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4" width="620" /></a><br/><br/>The Note 4 is the first phone in the line to feature a built-in fingerprint scanner, giving the device a big security boost. It works just like the scanner that debuted with Samsung’s Galaxy S5, just slide your fingertip over the phone’s home button to easily unlock it. The feature helps you keep your work phone locked down, with no need to fuss with cumbersome password screens. And the scanner also lets you access Private Mode, where you can store your most sensitive business files. Also like the Galaxy S5, the Note 4 supports Knox, a suite of security features developed by Samsung. It includes Knox Workspace, which lets you run secure business apps in a special profile that’s separate from the rest of your phone, ensuring that rogue applications can’t access your private data.<br/><h3>5. AUDIO RECORDING</h3><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/note-4-voice-1024x470.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-87113" height="316" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/note-4-voice-1024x470-690x316.jpg" title="Top 5 Coolest Features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4" width="690" /></a><br/><br/>The audio recorder on the device has also received some really handy and functional upgrades. The device can now track voices in 8 distinct directions so it great for getting quality sounds in multi-people environment. The interview mode on the device cancels out the unnecessary ambient noise and hence gives a clearer audio output.

iPad Air 2 Tipped to be Apple’s Thinnest Tablet Yet

<div class="grid__item  float--left  two-thirds  palm-one-whole  article__featured-image"><br/><div class="image-wrap"><img alt="2014_10_13_09_22_52" class="riloadr-single" data-src-big="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/2014_10_13_09_22_52.jpg" data-src-small="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/2014_10_13_09_22_52-335x188.jpg" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/2014_10_13_09_22_52.jpg" /></div><br/></div><br/><article class="post-article  js-post-gallery  grid__item  main  float--left  lap-and-up-two-thirds"><br/><h1 class="article__title  article__title--single"></h1><br/><div class="article__title__meta"><br/><div class="article__author-name"></div><br/></div><br/>Just when we thought that the iPad couldn’t get any slimmer, a new set of photos leaked online indicate otherwise. Apple is expected to unveil the next generation of <a href="http://www.igyaan.in/86681/apple-invites-october-16th/" title="Apple Rolls Out iPad Launch Event Invites for October 16th">iPads </a>this week. Apple’s latest tablet is reportedly just 7 mm thick, its thinnest model yet. Citing images from <a href="https://www.tinhte.vn/threads/hinh-anh-day-co-phai-la-mo-hinh-cua-ipad-air-moi.2371061/">Vietnamese tech blog Tinhte.vn</a>, the upcoming iPad is expected to include Touch ID and a fingerprint sensor.<br/><br/>It is said that the iPad Air 2 will be roughly the same thickness of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, which clock in at 6.9 and 7.1 mm thick, respectively. Gadgets always seem to be getting thinner, so this isn’t exactly unexpected. It is also said that the slimmer chassis might lead to the sacrifice of the mute button in the right side.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ipad-air-2-touch-640x426.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87030" height="426" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ipad-air-2-touch-640x426.jpg" title="iPad Air 2 Tipped to be Apples Thinnest Tablet Yet " width="640" /></a><br/><br/>Similarly, a <a href="http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/www.apple.club.tw/ipad-air-2-%E5%A4%A7%E9%87%8F%E9%9B%B6%E4%BB%B6%E6%9B%9D%E5%85%89/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chinese blog</a> has got its hands on the internal hardware of the forthcoming iPad Air. It says that we can expect it to come with a faster A8X processor and 2GB of Ram. According to <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2014/10/11/new-images-ipad-air-2-parts/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Macrumors</a>, Apple has traditionally used “X” versions of its main chips with enhanced graphics for its iPads, so we can expect better performance in games and other graphics-heavy apps and websites.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ipad-air-back-640x426.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87028" height="426" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ipad-air-back-640x426.jpg" title="iPad Air 2 Tipped to be Apples Thinnest Tablet Yet " width="640" /></a><br/><br/>Also, there’s little change in the design, except for recessed volume buttons, which were first adopted in Apple’s latest iPhone 6 models. According to AppleInsider, the speaker grille has apparently changed from two rows to a single row of holes.<br/><br/></article>

Apple Pay Expected to Launch on 18th October

Now, a new leaked memo suggests Walgreens, America’s online pharmacy service, will begin rolling out the service next week on October 18. The training materials, shared by MacRumors, for the Apple Pay launch at Apple retail stores have also detailed some new specifics regarding the Apple Pay setup and transaction processes both on customer iPhones and in Apple retail stores.<br/><br/>It’s unclear if this is specific to Walgreens or if the memo is referencing a widespread rollout. However, according to the leak, it’s unclear if this is specific to Walgreens or if the memo is referencing a widespread rollout. Credit cards can be added to Passbook via an iTunes account or by using the iPhone’s camera to scan in details. Passbook will be able to store up to 8 credit/debit cards, according to the training materials.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/applepay1.png"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-86992" height="337" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/applepay1-690x337.png" title="Apple Pay Expected to Launch on 18th October" width="690" /></a><br/><br/>The date makes sense, as this Thursday (October 16th) is Apple’s iPad event, which would also be a logical time to announce the roll-out of Apple Pay.  As announced on September 9, popular drug store Walgreens is one of Apple’s major launch partners, along with other companies like McDonalds, Macy’s, Staples, and more. According to the Walgreens memo, customers who have an iPhone 6 will be able to use Apple Pay in Walgreens stores by tapping their devices “to the upper portion of the pinpad to pay for their purchase.”<br/><br/></article>

Huawei Honor 6 Review

<h1 class="article__title  article__title--single">Huawei Honor 6 Review</h1><br/><div class="article__title__meta"><br/><div class="article__author-name"></div><br/></div><br/><div class="score-box score-box--inside"><br/><div class="score__average-wrapper"><br/><div class="score__average average--with-desc"><br/><div class="score__desc">AVERAGE DESIGN, BUT EXCELLENT HARDWARE!</div><br/></div><br/></div><br/></div><br/><div><br/><div><br/><br/>We have witnessed a surge in competitively priced phones this year, with the likes of Lenovo, Xiaomi and Oppo aggressively battling for the crown. However, there’s one smartphone manufacturer who is yet to make a mark on the Indian smartphone market – Huawei. With the launch of its latest smartphone, Honor 6, Huawei may well be on its way to create a stir. The smartphone boasts amazing specs which have the potential to give other manufacturers a run for their money. The Honor 6 only sounds great on paper, now let’s see if its worth it!<br/><h3>OVERVIEW</h3><br/>For starters, it’s the first smartphone with the new HiSilicon Kirin 920 SoC, an octa core processor coupled with 3GB RAM and a mammoth 3100 mAh battery. Ascend series have been the flagship models from Hauwei, but it seems the honor series is the hot property these days. The smartphone features an octa-core processor made of four Cortex A 15 cores and similar number of Cortex A7 cores. Available for Rs.19,999 via online retailers only, the phone seems to justify its price with what lies under the hood.<br/><br/> <br/><h3>HARDWARE</h3><br/>Probably the most talked about aspect of the phone, the brand new HiSilicon Kirin 920 SoC. It is the next iteration of the Kirin 910T, which we have seen earlier on the Ascend P7. It features 4x Cortex A7 and 4x Cortex A15 clocked at 1.3Ghz and 1.7 Ghz respectively, coupled with 3GB LPDDR 3 RAM. Yes, a deadly combo about which we will elaborate later. The phone comes with an impressive 16GB in built memory along with a microSD slot with an expandable capacity of upto 64GB.<br/><h3>SPECS</h3><br/><table width="529"><br/><tbody><br/><tr><br/><td><br/><h3>SPECIFICATIONS</h3><br/></td><br/><td><br/><h3>HONOR 6</h3><br/></td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Display</td><br/><td>5-inch IPS (1920 x 1080 pixels)</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Processor</td><br/><td>1.3Ghz Octa core Kirin 920 processor</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Storage</td><br/><td>16GB + microSD</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>RAM</td><br/><td>3GB RAM</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Camera</td><br/><td>13MP primary camera, 5MP front camera</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Battery</td><br/><td>3,100mAh</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Operating System</td><br/><td>Android 4.4</td><br/></tr><br/></tbody><br/></table><br/>In terms of connectivity, the phone offers Bluetooth 4.0, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS, FM Radio along with a 3.5 mm jack. The smartphone is powered by a non removable 3100mAh battery.<br/><h3>BUILD AND DESIGN</h3><br/><img alt="Hands-on-Huawei-Ascend-G6-Honor-3X-MediaPad-youth-2-MediaPad-X1-SpecPhone-012" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-357" height="200" src="http://techprabhu.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Hands-on-Huawei-Ascend-G6-Honor-3X-MediaPad-youth-2-MediaPad-X1-SpecPhone-012-300x200.jpg" width="300" />The design of the Honor 6 is minimalistic, and it has a sleek form factor; with thickness of 7.5mm and weight of a mere 130g. Although, it appears Huawei didn’t really spend much time making the phone as pretty as much as it made it useful. The design is pretty close to what we saw on the iPhone 4, with a glass front and rear. The back of the glass has dotted textures, which don’t stand out predominantly. The sides are made out of metallic finish plastic. As a result of the combination of plastic and glass, the phone does feel a bit slippery in the hand.<br/><br/>However, Huawei has done a good job when it comes to button and port placement. The power button, volume rockers, microSIM slot and the microSD slot are all placed on the right side, leaving the left side clean. The USB port is located dead center on the bottom, while the on the top lies the 3.5 mm jack. The rear houses the 13MP camera with a dual LED flash.<br/><br/> <br/><h3>PERFORMANCE</h3><br/>With a Krin 920 octa-core along with Mali T628MP4 GPU, bundled with a 3GB DDR3 RAM, we were expecting some impressive benchmark figures from the Honor 6 and it did not disappoint. The phone scored an impressive 40,000 on AnTuTu which translates into real world performance. The massive memory pool available runs multiple apps at ease without any lags.<br/><table width="481"><br/><tbody><br/><tr><br/><td><br/><h3>DEVICES</h3><br/></td><br/><td><br/><h3>ANTUTU BENCHMARK</h3><br/></td><br/><td><br/><h3>NENAMARK 2</h3><br/></td><br/><td><br/><h3 class="r">QUADRANT</h3><br/></td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Honor 6</td><br/><td>41900</td><br/><td> 59.1 fps</td><br/><td> 10939</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>Xiaomi Mi 3</td><br/><td>30537</td><br/><td>60.0 fps</td><br/><td> 20376</td><br/></tr><br/><tr><br/><td>OnePlus One</td><br/><td>37500</td><br/><td>61.3 fps</td><br/><td> 23178</td><br/></tr><br/></tbody><br/></table><br/>The 3100mAh battery can easily last a day of heavy usage, could extend to a day and a half under normal usage conditions. Users are also given an option to further enhance battery life by switching to the screen and power saving mode.<br/><br/>Coming to the OS, the smartphone runs on the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Huawei’s in-house Emotion UI 2.3 on top. The overall design of the UI comes of a bit off beat with the vibrant colourful icons. Apps and widgets are laid out on the Home Screen, which appears slightly cluttered and can be overwhelming for a new user.<br/><br/>The notification panel comes with colour choices. They have given two tabs on the notifications panel, the notifications and short cuts, which come in quite handy enabling users to switch easily. Other nifty feature which the EMUI offers is the ‘Smart Asssistance’ option which includes Suspend button and provides on-screen controls, motion enabled controls like flip to mute, along with a gloves mode.<br/><br/> <br/><h3>CAMERA</h3><br/>The Huawei Honor 6 offers a 13 MP rear shooter with a Sony BSI sensor along with a F2.0 28mm wide angle lens and a dual LED flash. The UI provided on the camera is standard. However, the image quality does not justify the camera specs, as they have a tendency to appear grainy. The camera can take decent shots during the day. Meanwhile, the front shooter also lacks sharpness and the finer details. The camera enables video recording at 1080p, though the lack of OIS becomes quite apparent. Overall, it is fair to say that the camera of the Honor 6 is one of its weak points.<br/><h3><a href="http://techprabhu.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Hands-on-Huawei-Ascend-G6-Honor-3X-MediaPad-youth-2-MediaPad-X1-SpecPhone-012.jpg"><br/></a> <a href="http://techprabhu.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/huawei-honor-6-black.jpg"><img alt="huawei-honor-6-black" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-358" height="300" src="http://techprabhu.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/huawei-honor-6-black-300x300.jpg" width="300" /></a></h3><br/><div id="gallery-1" class="gallery galleryid-86585 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail" data-carousel-extra="{"blog_id":1,"permalink":"http:\/\/www.igyaan.in\/86585\/honor-6-review\/","likes_blog_id":40449215}"></div><br/><h3>DISPLAY AND MULTIMEDIA</h3><br/> <br/><br/><img alt="Huawei-Honor-6-Hands-on-1" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-359" height="201" src="http://techprabhu.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Huawei-Honor-6-Hands-on-1-300x201.jpg" width="300" />The Huawei Honor 6 has a 5-inch Full HD 1080 x 1920 pixels LCD display with a pixel density of 445 pixels per inch. Well, that sounds and looks good. The smartphone can render excellent brightness even in very bright conditions. However, the panel is a non IPS which makes viewing angles a bit scruffy. However sunlight visibility and colour reproduction is top notch.<br/><br/>With a 5-inch display, playing games and watching movies is a fun ride with the Honor 6. The phone can easily withstand those frame rates, animations and transitions without any lag or stutters. Playing Asphalt 8 was also delight on the Full HD screen. It runs most games flawlessly, even at maximum graphic settings, while 3GB of RAM allows multitasking with ease and provides enough resources to run multiple apps in the background. All in all, gaming experience on the Honor 6  is quite immersive and seamless as it can run most games without any lags and stutters. Though, I was not really satisfied with the placement of phone’s loudspeaker as its housed at the back and blocks sound output while you’re holding the phone.<br/><h3>CONCLUSION</h3><br/>Considering its priced for Rs.19,999, the Huawei Honor 6 is strategically coupled with the state of the art hardware. The EMUI 2.3 gives a lot of additional features without hampering the overall performance of the phone. The brand new HiSilicon’s Kirin 920 bundled with 3GB of RAM is a match made in heaven. The Honor 6 is a multimedia delight along with the 3100mAh battery performance. The phone has minimalistic look and build to it, though made out of good quality. The camera may be one of the weaker links in the Honor 6, but other aspects of the phone are top notch and can beat any phone under the given price bracket.<br/><br/></div><br/><div></div><br/></div><br/><div class="grid"><br/><div class="grid__item lap-and-up-six-eighths"><br/><div class="grid"><br/><div class="score__pros  grid__item  lap-and-up-one-half"><br/><div class="score__pros__title"><br/><h3 class="hN">GOOD THINGS</h3><br/></div><br/><ul class="score__pros__list"><br/>	<li class="score_pro">Great Hardware</li><br/>	<li class="score_pro">Good Display</li><br/>	<li class="score_pro">Adequate Internal Memory</li><br/>	<li class="score_pro">Easy-to-use UI</li><br/></ul><br/></div><br/><div class="score__cons  grid__item  lap-and-up-one-half"><br/><div class="score__cons__title"><br/><h3 class="hN">BAD THINGS</h3><br/></div><br/><ul class="score__cons__list"><br/>	<li class="score__con">Design</li><br/>	<li class="score__con">Weak Camera</li><br/>	<li class="score__con">Prone to Scratches</li><br/></ul><br/></div><br/></div><br/></div><br/></div><br/><h3>THE BREAKDOWN</h3><br/><br/><hr class="separator  separator--subsection" /><br/><br/><div class="review__score"><br/><div class="score__label">BUILD QUALITY</div><br/><span class="score__badge  badge">7</span><br/><div class="score__progressbar  progressbar"></div><br/></div><br/><div class="review__score"><br/><div class="score__label">DESIGN</div><br/><span class="score__badge  badge">7</span><br/><div class="score__progressbar  progressbar"></div><br/></div><br/><div class="review__score"><br/><div class="score__label">HARDWARE</div><br/><span class="score__badge  badge">8</span><br/><div class="score__progressbar  progressbar"></div><br/></div><br/><div class="review__score"><br/><div class="score__label">FEATURES</div><br/><span class="score__badge  badge">7</span><br/><div class="score__progressbar  progressbar"></div><br/></div><br/><div class="review__score"><br/><div class="score__label">CAMERA</div><br/><span class="score__badge  badge">6</span><br/><div class="score__progressbar  progressbar"></div><br/></div><br/><div class="review__score"><br/><div class="score__label">BATTERY LIFE</div><br/><span class="score__badge  badge">7.5</span><br/><div class="score__progressbar  progressbar"></div><br/></div><br/><div class="review__score"><br/><div class="score__label">USABILITY</div><br/><span class="score__badge  badge">7.5</span><br/><div class="score__progressbar  progressbar"></div><br/></div><br/><div class="review__score"><br/><div class="score__label">MULTIMEDIA</div><br/><span class="score__badge  badge">8</span><br/><div class="score__progressbar  progressbar"></div><br/></div><br/><div class="review__score"><br/><div class="score__label">DISPLAY</div><br/><span class="score__badge  badge">8</span><br/><div class="score__progressbar  progressbar"></div><br/></div><br/>

Motorola slashes price of old Moto X to Rs.17,999

<div class="hub-caption"><br/><h3 class="satory-h3"></h3><br/></div><br/><img alt="" class="storyimg_mar10" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories/motox-old-650_101414062029.jpg" width="660" /><br/><div class="hub-caption"><br/><div class="story-details"></div><br/><div class="divclear"></div><br/><div class="divclear"><ins id="aswift_1_expand"><ins id="aswift_1_anchor"> </ins></ins></div><br/><div class="divclear"></div><br/>Motorola on Tuesday tweeted that the old Moto X, which was launched in 2013, is now available at a price of <span class="rupee">Rs.</span>17,999. The device was launched in India earlier this year at a price of <span class="rupee">Rs.</span>23,999. It is only available at Flipkart, which is Motorola's retail partner in India.<br/><br/>The move is obviously aimed at clearing the stock of the old Moto X, considering the new one is already out. The new Moto X went on sale in India in the last week of September at a price of <span class="rupee">Rs.</span>31,999.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>The old Moto X is powered by a speedy dual-core processor and has a 10-megapixel camera. It has a 4.7-inch screen with 720P resolution. While the specifications do not look very impressive on the paper, the phone offers fantastic Android experience due to its stock Android software and ergonomic design. The device will also be among the first phones to get Android L, the next version of the OS, when it becomes available in the coming weeks.<br/><br/>In fact, the old Moto X experience is so good that in our phone buying guide for September and October we gave it a prime position in the price range of <span class="rupee">Rs.</span>20,000 to<span class="rupee">Rs.</span>25,000.<br/><br/></div><br/><div><br/><br/><br/></div>

Addicted to phone? These apps can help you

<br/><br/>Smartphone users feeling overwhelmed by the onslaught of communications and devices vying for their time can turn to new apps to help them take a break and concentrate on other things.<br/><br/>More than 70 percent of consumers in the United States own a smartphone and the typical adult spends about 90 minutes a day on their device, an increase of 30 percent since last year, according to global information and measurements company Nielsen.<br/><br/>But new apps aim to make users aware of how much time they spend on their smartphones and to help them limit it.<br/><br/>Offtime, a new app for Android-compatible phones, lets users unplug from their devices without missing anything important.<br/><br/>"We all love our digital devices. But every once in a while we want to take time off, which can be hard when everyone is so connected and you feel as though you're snubbing people or missing out," said Michael Dettbarn, co-founder of the Berlin, Germany-based Offtime.<br/><br/>The app tracks how much people use their device and which apps are most time consuming. It also lets users decide how long they would like to stay unplugged, which contacts and apps they want to remain active while all others are temporarily blocked. It also lists events missed during the break period.<br/><br/>"People are starting to notice they check their mobile devices all the time, not because they need to, but more out of habit. We want to help people become more aware of that," Dettbarn said.<br/><br/>Another app called Checky, created by San Francisco-based Calm.com, tells users how often they check their smartphones each day. The app is free and available worldwide for iOS and Android.<br/><br/>In addition to tracking usage, Moment, an app for iOS devices, enables iPhone users to set daily time limits and to receive reminders if they go over. The app, from the Pittsburgh-based Moment, costs $4.99 and is also available worldwide.<br/><br/>Although technology is a good thing, Offtime's Dettbarn said people need to learn how to manage it.<br/><br/>"Every time a new or revolutionary technology comes out, there is fear about what it will do to society. But the next generations solve the problems and see the benefits," he noted.<br/><br/>"Soon we will have screens all around us, not just on our mobile devices, but also on the wall or on our wrists. It's not going to be tolerable to be distracted all the time, so we will need to come up with solutions," Dettbarn added.<br/><div></div>

Samsung’s New Super-Fast Wi-Fi System Might Just Be the Next Big Thing

<div class="grid__item  float--left  two-thirds  palm-one-whole  article__featured-image"><br/><div class="image-wrap"><img alt="Samsung-Logo_3" class="riloadr-single" data-src-big="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/samsung-logo_3.jpg" data-src-small="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/samsung-logo_3-335x251.jpg" src="http://www.igyaan.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/samsung-logo_3.jpg" /></div><br/></div><br/><article class="post-article  js-post-gallery  grid__item  main  float--left  lap-and-up-two-thirds"><br/><h1 class="article__title  article__title--single"></h1><br/>Samsung is all set to launch a new Wi-Fi system on its devices that can let you download a 1 GB in movie in about three seconds. In an era of multimedia-heavy content, this system can help make Samsung devices desirable again. The company plans to bring this new system out in the market by next year.<br/><br/>The new technology works on 802.11ad (WiGig) Wi-Fi standard. It is capable of reaching a theoretical limit of 7Gbps, but Samsung’s version provides a speed of 4.6Gbps, that is also a fantastic speed to achieve. It will also help in creating a mobile work ecosystem when included with Cloud. It can be immensely beneficial to the artist community too; they can send across big data files within seconds to have a proactive, collaborative experience with partners from the world over.<br/><br/>Samsung has developed a micro beam-forming control technology that can adapt to the changing environment in 1/3000 seconds. This means that the signals can be constant even if the device is on the move. Also, due to the high directionality of beams formed by its antennae, multiple devices can work at the same time without interfering with each other.<br/><br/>It seems like a real world innovation coming from Samsung’s stable. We would have just to wait till next year to check out if the devices based on this technology can actually stand up to the hype. Though it will take some time to reach a mass scale of adoption, but coming from Samsung it will have the potential for reaching a wider audience to test the prospects of the technology.<br/><br/></article>

Xiaomi Mi 10400 review: A product every smartphone user should have

<div class="hub-caption"><br/><h3 class="satory-h3"></h3><br/></div><br/> <br/><div class="hub-caption"><br/><div class="story-details"></div><br/><div class="divclear"></div><br/><div class="divclear"><ins id="aswift_1_expand"><ins id="aswift_1_anchor"> </ins></ins></div><br/><div class="divclear"></div><br/><span class="storycentimg"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014September/mi-bank-main_650_100614104042.jpg" title="" vspace="0" /></span>Actually, this is not a review. It is more like a love letter. The Xiaomi Mi 10400 Power Bank is so good that it gets our total recommendation. In fact, you don't have to read this whole review to know it. If you need a power bank, you can go to the Flipkart website, which unfortunately is the only retailer for Xiaomi products, now and buy it. Yes, it is that good.<br/><br/>Still with us?<br/><br/>Well, let's talk about the Mi 10400 in detail. As the name suggests, it is a power bank. In other words, it is a battery -- similar to the one in your phone or tablet - encased in a metal body that has two ports. One of these ports -- a micro USB port similar to the one in your phone -- is used to charge the battery. The other port -- a full-size USB port -- allows you to connect a cable to it and then use it to charge your phone or tablet.<br/><br/>It works just like other power banks. But the big difference, literally, is the size of the battery. Unlike the other power banks which have a battery with capacity of 2000, 3000, or 5000 mAh, the Xiaomi power bank has a battery that can store 10,400 mAh.<br/><br/>The large battery size means that the Mi 10400 is also slightly bigger and heavier than most of the power banks available in the market. But the design of the device means it looks slick and well made. The device uses anodized aluminium shell, which gives it a very Applesque appearance. It looks like Jony Ive designed it and not some Xiaomi engineers. The aluminium shell also makes the device feel reassuringly hefty, which is a big difference compared to how the plastic power banks feel.<br/><span class="storycentimg"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014October/mi-power-second_100614050542.jpg" title="" vspace="0" /></span><br/>Overall, the build quality of the product is impeccable and finishing is premium. The round power button snuggly fits in its socket. The 4 LED lights that show the status of the battery are small and go well with the minimalist design.<br/><br/>As far as using the device is concerned, we are very happy with its performance. Due to the large capacity, it takes almost 15 to 16 hours before it gets fully charged but once it is full you can safely use it for a few days. The charging speed also depends on the charger. We tested it with a charger that can supply 1.2A (amps). If you use it with a charger that can supply 2A or more, it will charge faster.<br/><br/>Similarly, how fast the Mi 10400 can charge a phone or tablet depends on the circuitry inside the device but in our use we found that it completely filled the empty Nexus 5 battery in little less than two hours. This is good performance. Xiaomi says that the Mi 10400 can supply 2.1A power while charging a device, which looks about right based on our experience with it.<br/><br/>As we said earlier, the Mi 10400 is one fantastic product. It packs in a battery that is huge, has premium and polished looks and has performance that is very good. But that is not the primary reason why it is a fantastic product. That reason is its price. The Mi 10400 has a price of <span class="rupee">Rs.</span>999! Yes, you read it right. This absolutely fantastic power bank has a price of just <span class="rupee">Rs.</span>999.<br/><br/>At this price, buying the Mi 10400 is no-brainer. If you travel a lot or often find yourself stuck in situations where your phone's or tablet's battery can't keep pace with you, get the Mi 10400. It is the best <span class="rupee">Rs.</span>999 you will  ever spend.<br/><br/><b>PS:</b> Unlike Xiaomi phone(s), the Mi 10400 is not sold in a flash sale. Instead, it is available at the Flipkart website almost all the time. Though we are not sure if it is always in the stock. We bought the Mi 10400 in the second last week of August but it was delivered only in the late September.<br/><br/></div><br/><div><br/><br/></div>
