Galaxy Note Edge Price In India

Our insiders at Samsung have told us that they have received stocks of Samsung Galaxy Note Edge and it will go on sale in India with a retail price tag of INR 63,500/- which makes it a full INR 1000 more expensive than the iPhone 6 Plus. We expected it to be around 5000 rupees more expensive than the Note 4 which is currently on sale for 58,500 rupees.

Our insider told us that top models of Samsung are imported from outside and it takes few months before the company can start assembling the phones here. So during the first few months you get CBU (completely build units) imported from outside and after 3-4 months, the same models is assembled in India which in turns reduces the overall price tag drastically.

In the video we get see the phone from all angles and get introduced to the new themes feature that Samsung has introduced with the Galaxy A3 and A5 smartphones.

The A3 phone features couple of pre-loaded themes such as Samsung Basic, Natural and Craft.

From the sides the Galaxy A3 looks very much like the outgoing Apple iPhone 5 and we believe that copying it is not a bad thing for consumers. After all, the iPhone 5 looked more premium than current Gen phones from Apple. See the review video here.

Onyx Book I62A specifications and price

Onyx Book I62A is a new ebook reader that features a 6 inch e-Ink display and it retails for $89 with cover. For many the Onyx Book I62A is a like Barnes Noble Touch tablet that is updated to newer operating system and faster processor. This model is currently not on sale in Europe but we have heard that is coming soon to European land.

Onyx Book I62A specifications include a 6 inch eink pearl display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and runs Android 2.3 OS that runs fine thanks to the powerful Rockchip 1 GHz processor and 512MB RAM.

For storage you get meager 4GB but that should be just fine to store quite a lot of ebooks but if you want to store more, you can always use its micro SD card slot.

Onyx Book I62A

The Onyx Book I62A also comes with Wi-Fi module and headphone jack. It weighs 238 grams and has thickness of 10.2 mm.

But let us face it, after the launch of Amazon Kindle 2014 model for 59 euro, it leaves no room for competition. Thus Onyx will have to work very hard in pushing these units off the shelves as Kindle offers so much more for less.

Gaming on the iPhone

When it was released, the iPhone 6, like its predecessors, was an instant hit. People around the globe were clamoring for the device as either new iPhone owners or as an upgrade. The latest version of the iPhone, the iPhone 6, is being widely used for gaming purposes. In fact, many find the iPhone to be an ideal device for gamers. While previous versions of the iPhone worked well for gaming, the iPhone 6 is just that much better. Its dimensions make it easy to hold in one’s hands while playing their favorite games and at the same it provides more immersive experience as it packs a bigger display. Compared to the iPhone 5, the newer model has 0.7” bigger screen which makes a big difference in real life.

The iPhone 6 has a much larger and longer screen. While it still may not be as big as some Android phones, its length is important. With the longer screen, it makes for a 16:9 ratio which is the same as an HDTV. What this means for users is a screen that makes all mobile games look correct in landscape mode. For many who play mobile games, they find the experience much more pleasing with this new design. Another side benefit is that the iPhone 6 has a longer screen is that there is more room for the buttons and battery. Talking about battery, expect rise in battery runtimes by 30 percent.

Gamers point to this as another reason why they enjoy gaming on the iPhone. Many mobile have optimized online versions of certain games so they work well on the iPhone. The classic game of blackjack can be found for use on the iPhone. Blackjack is easy to learn and can be played quickly on mobile devices. The object of the game is to obtain a hand with a value of 21 or as close to that without going over.

Of course, it also matters what the dealer’s hand looks like. If the dealer has a hand that would beat the players, the dealer wins. On the other hand, if the dealer’s hand is less than the player’s, the player would win. Ties, also known as pushes, can also happen.

Microsoft has also brought some amazing desktop games like Age of Empires to iPhone and it looks wonderful on the big display. If you are a heavy gamer, consider getting the iPhone 6 Plus that packs even bigger display and battery.
