Nowadays, the gap between the expensive flagships and budget phones are getting closer. More and more budget phones are equipped with flagship-like features and it is hard for flagships to prove they are worth the price bump. For those who realize this and don’t want to spend a huge fortune buying a new phone, the biggest question is which phone they should choose. Now with the festival discount, the OnePlus 6 equipped with Snapdragon 845 is sold at the price of Rs. 34,999 while the Honor Play equipped with the Kirin 970 is only sold at Rs. 18,999. So which is better for you? Design & Display Both the Honor Play and the OnePlus 6 follows the design trend in 2018. The Honor Play comes with a 6.3-inch FHD+ LCD display with a small notch and a resolution ratio of 1080 X 2340. The OnePlus 6 also has a notch, and it gets a 6.28-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a resolution ratio of 1080 X 2280. Displays of these two phones are great as they are clear and produc

It’s been a while since two of India’s most popular smartphones of 2018 had been launched – Honor Play and OnePlus 6. Both the phones generated a lot of buzz around its Indian debuts. OnePlus brought out their flagship with a massive campaign and Honor came up with a beast of a smartphone with insane speed and performance. Like I said, it is some time that these two devices are in the market and I think it is high time we do an after-use analysis of both these devices. Honor Play is a power and performance driven device which has come up to be one of the best products from the house of Honor. This beast is powered by Kirin 970 AI chipset with independent NPU which ups the game for its competitors including OnePlus 6. The latter comes with Snapdragon 845, which is also a renowned processor but the AI capabilities of Honor Play scores a bit higher in my ranking. Then one thing that I found interesting in Honor Play is the GPU Turbo. It increases battery performance by 60%

Honor 9N and Redmi Note 5 Pro is going to battle it out on the Flipkart Big Billion Days starting from Oct 10. Both the phones are often pitched against each other. Let’s see what holds what and finally the discounted price of both the devices.

Honor has carved a niche for themselves when it comes to design ideology. The global giant has revolutionised the way we used to view mobile phones. Earlier they were means of communication but thanks to Honor, they have become a part of our own persona, our style statement. India has always been a receptive market when it comes to smartphones. Buyers are more accepting and open to experiment with design and colour schemes. Honor caught the fancy of Indian buyers by coming up with beautiful devices. They are the one who came up with stylish glass back, new and stunning colours, Aurora glass design which changes colour and so on. And with the advent of Honor 8X, we are going to see something new. This time it is going to be a double delight. Without much suspense, let me break the news. The Honor 8X has a dual toned glass design at the back which is simply mind-blowing! It lends the phone a classy and suave look without getting too loud. The 15 layer glass design is

You remember I posted a speculation story about the upcoming Flipkart Big Billion Days where I talked about the price battle between Honor 9N and Redmi Note 5pro? Well, you already know how stunning Honor 9N looks like. Redmi Note 5pro loses the battle right there on the design part. The notch gives Honor 9N an edge over Note 5pro as well. Honor 9N comes in two storage variants – 3+32GB and 4+64GB. The former’s original price is 13,999 and the later comes at 14,999. But in those sake days, you can get it with a discount of 4,000 on both variants. This is massive, right? This brings me to another aspect of the story. Redmi Note 5pro is often touted as the competitor to Honor 9N but they failed to make a dent in the customer psyche with their stubborn pricing. In the last post, I speculated that the price will be 13,999 for Redmi Note 5pro but as the real price is revealed today, we see that it is up for grabs for 12,999. Well, I missed the mark by 1,000 but that is no

I know many who say ill things about the notch in a smartphone but I have met more people who absolutely love the notch design. Me, I am a notch lover  J . Be what it may, notch has always been associated to high-end devices, often flagships but Honor phones broke this trend with their stunning Honor 9N. A gorgeous looking phone to say the least, Honor 9N has ticked all the boxes in its category. Appearances often create the first impression and Honor 9N sweeps the battle with its stunning design. The sleek device comes with a glass finish. Not to speak of the premium looking notch. A notch adds the glam quotient to your regular smartphone. It is classy, glossy and flashy at the same time! So now let’s go to the Flipkart part of this post. As you all know, Flipkart is coming up with their Big Billion Days from Oct 10 to Oct 14 where they are offering massive discounts on all products, smartphones included. Honor 9N comes in two storage variants – 3+32GB and 4+64GB.
