Also, what more can you expect from a phone priced at a petty price tag of just Rs. 5,999 !.When compared with the other phones in this price range, the Asus Zenfone C is an amicable option.

Well, some user reviews on Flipkart indicated a heating problem.Also, the lack of a Corning Gorilla Glass touch-screen is disappointing.Also, the customer care services of Asus has not been that satisfactory.

SAMSUNG GALAXY STAR 2 Duos(SM-G130E) Review

The Samsung Galaxy Star 2 Duos is an entry level android smartphone from Samsung.Released in late August 2014, the handset is priced at an economic price tag of Rs. 4500.The sequel to the Galaxy Star, this has not had any deep changes, but it has improved on a lot of aspects and has also quadrupled it's attractiveness.

Being upgraded to a 3.5 inch/88.3mm HVGA display,it also comes packed with the latest android operating system namely, the android KITKAT 4.4.2 version.Being a dual sim handset, it also packs a solitary 2 mega-pixel back camera that performs best under natural lighting.The absence of a flash and front camera can be observed.Coming with an 1 GHz Cortex A-5 processor , it also has the Mali-300 GPU as it's own.The Wi-Fi connectivity comes to the rescue when we curse the absence of 3G network connectivity.Although it has a humble 512 MB ram to it's name,it can handle all apps and many high performance games efficiently.It has the preloaded-app collection that includes many useful apps like The Google Play Store,Google Chrome,Hangouts,Chat On,Play Books etc. It also has packed along 14 of the Indian Languages in a first of a kind effort.

What really impresses us is that it looks dashing.Overcoming the egg-like shape of it's predecessor, it has a sleek and slim look which meets the eye.The interface looks great too.Although you wouldn't expect this phone to run high quality games,it can.It can even play game in the Asphalt Series and FIFA 14 which is quite impressive for a phone of the specified price range.Here are the specifications:

Thank you Sachin : Cudis

The Cudis team has immense sadness in bidding farewell to arguably the best cricketer the world has ever seen.He was also one of the best in character too.From day one, he has succeeded in impressing the viewers and selectors on BCCI and has earned more fans than money. Sachin is definitely the guru and inspiration for all cricketers on planet Earth.I, +Hrithik Blaze  am deeply emotional after seeing the farewell ceremony at which he gave an exceptionally unforgivable speech.The was not a single person among the crowd whose eyes were not wet.I am now remembering all the enjoyable moments the cricketing god has offered us.I personally am damn sure that no one can take his place on the team be it +Virat Kolhi or anyone else.Anyone who truly understands and loves cricket is surely to be a +Sachin Tendulkar  fan.As some of the placards around the stadium say:"Legends Never Retire".I consider him as a better sportsman as anyone I've seen or heard about.#ThankYouSachin.
