I have been following Honor’s journey in India for some time now and trust me, they have been a revelation when it comes to brand building. Unlike other smartphone brands that are high on noise and buzz, Honor works in silence and lets the outcome do the talking. The youth oriented brand has made a mark in India’s smartphone arena by becoming the country’s fastest growing smartphone brand. The immense success of Honor 9i, Honor 7X and Honor 9 Lite established Honor as a name to reckon with. In the past few months, Honor has strengthened its repertoire by adding more phones like Honor 10, Honor 7A, Honor 7C and Honor 9N. All these phones are doing good and garnering positive reviews. The last to join the Honor wagon, Honor Play is already making ripples by going out of stock on the day it was launched! I was following the launch event which started at 11.45AM on 6 th  August and ended at 12.30PM. The online sale on Amazon started on the same day from 4PM. So within

Honor is posing serious threats to the competition in India. Apart from being the fastest growing smartphone brand in the country, Honor is on a product launch spree which is only shaking the consumer base of other players like Xiaomi and OnePlus. Honor is always known for their innovative thinking and practical implementation. For example, no one thought about AI camera in smartphones but Honor did and they brought it with their flagship device Honor 10 a few months ago. But at around 35,000 INR, many thought that it is going to be a premium feature and yet again, Honor surprised us! Upcoming Honor Play is coming with AI camera as good as the one in Honor 10 and at a price which is speculated to be around 20,000 to 25,000 INR. Like I mentioned, it is speculated, the real price may go even lower than this. Honor Play’s 16MP+2MP camera is powered by AI algorithm which changes the mobile photography game on its head. It has the capacity to adjust the camera setting au

When we buy a smartphone, we keep many things under consideration- camera, build quality, display, processor, ROM/RAM and what not but we tend to overlook one important aspect. Yes, the battery. We just take it for granted thinking that we will find a plug-point anywhere or depend upon the power bank. Yet, there are occasions when the receding power meter defies everything to be a burden on us. This has happened to me many a times that the sinking battery caused more than just non-connectivity in my life. One of those I would like to share with you guys today. This happened to me a few weeks ago. I was in between a dull and regular working Saturday and was waiting for the day to be over. Then around 5.30 I got a call from one of my friends telling me to be in his house for a get together. I said WOW! So I left for his place without thinking much, the eagerness to make that lazy Saturday somewhat fun drove me hard. So hard that I forgot to carry the power bank! I thought, it
