Xiaomi launched the Redmi 3S and the Redmi 3s prime. This is the Redmi 3S Prime review, there is not much of a difference between the Redmi 3S and the 3S Prime, apart from the price, RAM/ROM and fingerprint sensor.

Design:
In terms of design. there is very little to differentiate between the Redmi 3s Prime and the Redmi Note 3. If you ignore the difference in the placement of the front facing camera and sensors on top of the display or that of the rear camera and flash, it is pretty much a compact version of the Redmi Note 3. The metal body is curved at the edges, which makes it quite slippery but the compact size ensures that it fits well in the hand.
Xiaomi had made a big deal about it in the redmi note 3 but somehow forgot about it in the Redmi 3s Prime. Having said that, there is no doubt that the Redmi 3s Prime is one of the most premium smartphones in the sub-Rs 10,000 price bracket, just like the Redmi Note 3. The speaker grille is at the bottom of the back. The physical buttons for volume and power are on the right, while the hybrid SIM slot is on the left. The phone accepts one Micro-SIM and another Nano-SIM or microSD card for storage. Unfortunately, this means that users will have to choose between a second SIM and a microSD card.
Under the hood, the Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime both pack the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 (MMB29) processor, with four cores clocked at 1.1GHz and four cores at 1.4GHz, plus an integrated Adreno 505 GPU. Apart from the fingerprint sensor, the only differences between the Xiaomi Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime are the amounts of RAM and storage. The Redmi 3S features 2GB of RAM with 16GB of inbuilt storage, while the Redmi 3S Prime has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

Performance:
The Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime sets a standard for other smartphones in the same price band. We didn't face any lags while multitasking on this device, and there were no noticeable frame rate drops while playing games like Asphault.
Apps loaded quickly and the screen responded to touches without any complaints. The only issue that we faced was occasional restarts while running benchmarks, which is a repetition of what happened during the review of the Redmi Note 3. There was no heating while charging the phone or talking on calls. The phone did heat up a bit while using the camera app, but it never became too uncomfortable to use. We encountered no issues while talking for long hours on the phone.

Sound:
The quality of sound through the speaker at the back of the handset was impressive, except that it went flat at maximum volume with no stereo effect. We did check the quality of music through our own wired earphones and we were not disappointed. There are plenty of tweaking options for music lovers.

CAMERA:
The camera is nothing worth writing home about either. The front facing 5-megapixel camera gives out grainy results under most lighting conditions. The rear 13-megapixel camera is slightly better, but it isn’t something that you would get printed. Well, who does that anyway these days. Photos in low light conditions are grainy again and even in good lighting come out to be soft when zoomed in. It seems good camera sensors haven’t yet percolated to entry-level smartphones. And that’s really a pity for smartphones like the Redmi 3s Prime.Camera quality is above average.

Overall:
The Redmi 3S Prime no doubt is a very good handset with a very good price tag, however it does not come with fast charging support and the Snapdragon 430 hardware is not as powerful as the Snapdragon 650 hardware redmi note 3 is using.
Redmi 3S prime cannot play 4K videos smoothly, Redmi Note 3 can. Also when you compare the benchmarks there is a good difference. Having said that the 3S is still a very good buy, you will hardly notice any difference in performance with you daily usage though technically Note 3 is powerful.

Xiaomi Redmi 3S comes with 2GB RAM/16GB storage, while the Redmi 3S Prime has 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. The 2GB Redmi 3S doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner on the back, unlike the Redmi 3S Prime. Given the pricing, the Redmi 3S and its Prime version are a new offering in the budget segment from Xiaomi.
In terms of specifications, Redmi 3S and 3S Prime have a 5-inch HD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 octa-core processor, 13 MP primary camera and a 5 MP secondary camera. The battery is 4100 mAh. Xiaomi Redmi 3S runs MIUI 7 based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and will come in Gold, Grey and Silver colour options. I’ve been using the Redmi 3S Prime, (the 3GB RAM version), and here’s my first impression of the phone.

Design:
The Design of the phone is almost similar to Redmi Note 3. the phone is incredibly light when you hold it, and it doesn’t feel bulky at all. With the smaller HD resolution display, the Snapdragon 430 processor. But Xiaomi has kept the metal unibody design as the same, and this price-point it is unusual to find a smartphone that looks so good. However the Redmi 3S Prime costs only Rs 1000 less than the 16GB version of the Note 3.
Display:
This phone has a more compact 5-inch display. Yes, the HD resolution feels underwhelming but not feeling like full HD, but it is still a very good display from Xiaomi.
Performance:
On the overall performance front, the Redmi 3S Prime has so far proved to be more than adequate. Games like Asphalt 8 run smoothly on this, with no heating, and I’ve not yet faced any app crashes. But I’m going to spend some more time with the software and the phone, to see how it continues to perform.
Camera:
The rear camera is 13MP, and I tried to make shots in varied lighting conditions. However, the few shots with lower lights are not upto that level but still good. The camera is fast, with no shutter-lag, and focuses quickly.
Battery:
The interesting is the battery in the Redmi 3S phones is slightly bigger than the one in Redmi Note 3 at 4100 mAh. I say interesting, because . The battery size means this phone won’t die anytime soon.

The budget smartphone space is heating up with Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 3 and Redmi 3s setting a benchmark. Here is our first impressions of the super budget offering from Motorola

Design and Display: Moto e3 Power follows the same design we seen on Moto G4 and G4 Plus. The front is very much a standard affair. There is a 5-inch display placed between and the earpiece and speaker. The earpiece and speaker are narrower than before, and they don’t hide stereo speakers, which is a letdown for me. And there is no fingerprint sensor. The plastic back is textured which feels reassuring, and features volume rocker and power button at the right, a microUSB port at the bottom and yes, headphone jack at the top.

Moto e3 has a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels. The display is neither sharp nor extremely bright, but it is well improved over the qHD (960 x 540 pixels) display found on Moto E2. The display is doing good under direct sunlight, The superior auto-brightness feature working very well. The display is also decent for watching YouTube.

Processor, Memory and Battery: Moto e3 Power gets the guts of a MediaTek processor. I used the device for a full day, I didn’t find any noticeable difference in terms of speed or performance. The MediaTek chipset coupled with 2GB RAM is running the devicevery smooth with good user experience. Moto e3 Power is ideal for people who use their smartphone primarily for chatting, browsing the web, reading news and most importantly staying updated and with MediaTek chipset, all of that is easily accomplished.

Camera:
With Moto e3 Power, we get a very basic camera that delivers in broad daylight and while the software is normal and not making any extra efforts to bring a better lights and colorts in the photo. The camera is also not quick, there is a noticeable shutter lag which I can see. The bright picture here is the new 5MP front camera. It shots decent.

Software:
If you are going to love something about Moto e3 Power, then it will be its software. Moto e3 Power runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow (yeah, no Nougat) with near stock Android experience.

This is a good phone

Good phone for average use

So far we’ve been rather impressed with Xiaomi’s line-up of products. The Chinese firm’s smartphones and cheerful Mi Band Pulse have given us hope that you can get great tech without paying a fortune.

Design:
The Note 3 is powered by a six-core Qualcom 650 system on a chip, which despite first appearances is a significant upgrade to the eight core CPU in the Note 2.
The Note 2 housed a 1.92GHz octa-core processor, namely the Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10, which sports eight ARM Coretx-A53 cores and a PowerVR graphics unit. The Note 3’s chip also has four Cortex-A53s clocked at 1.4GHz for background tasks, and a pair of newer Cortext-A72s running at 1.8GHz for performance.
The handset itself also operates at a snail’s pace. There is noticeable lag when opening applications and if you open multiple apps at once you will see that RAM figure in the task manager slowly whittle down to below “719MB of 2GB available” rather quickly.
If the 16GB storage feels less than ample you can add an SD Card for extra space. The only problem is that you lose the second SIM slot if you do – something that is a much desirable feature on this phone.

Frustration abounds:
The most noticeable addition to the Note 3 is a fingerprint scanner. Located at the back of the handset it functions in the same way that Huawei and LG’s does in that you simply need to place your finger in the right spot and the sensor will scan your digit.
The problem, we found, was that the scanner wasn’t as responsive as on other handsets and often failed to detect our digit correctly. Compared to phones from the last couple of years, it was a bit disappointing.

Camera:
The camera sensor at the rear of the handset has been bumped up from a 13MP in the Note 2 to a 16MP in the Note 3. You’ll find the usual list of features including HDR, Panaorama and Beautify. The camera is good but its still not quite enough to make the Note 3 feel special.

Battery:
The 4 000mAh Li-Po battery will give about two days of use if the phone is used for the occasional call, text and social media update. In practice, we found this equated to one full day of heavy use for web and mail, and around 6-8 hours of continuous movie watching and game playing. Which is, on the whole, satisfactory.
The Note 3 does have fast charging which can bring your battery up to full charge in just under three hours from empty.

OnePlus is a Chinese company that has been pushing into the U.S. slowly over the last few years. The OnePlus 3 — its third-generation flagship handset — is the company's most attractive and powerful offering yet. The 3 is also the most "available" handset from OnePlus, as U.S. consumers can buy it easily online if they wish.

Design:
I'm not going to say OnePlus copied the design of the iPhone 6 Plus or HTC 10, but the 3 strongly resembles both these phones. It has a simple, direct, metal-and-glass appearance. It was milled from a single block of aluminum and has antenna lines that run side-to-side across the back. The metal chassis forms the rear and side surfaces of the phone, with 2.5D glass on front. The 3 comes in graphite or gold. I could write these same sentences about the 6 Plus and 10. It's a good design, but far from an original one.

Screen:
The display is one spec where the OnePlus 3 trails the Alcatel Idol 4S and ZTE Axon 7. It measures 5.5 inches across the diagonal and sticks with 1080p full HD, rather than quad HD. If you're not interested in using your phone for VR, the OnePlus 3 still manages to hold its own. The 3 has plenty of pixels for browsing the web, watching videos, and viewing Instagram imagery. I found everything was sharp enough. The phone uses what OnePlus calls Optic AMOLED screen technology, which is in turn protected by a slab of Gorilla Glass 4. The display is plenty bright, offers rich colors and contrast, and puts out enough light for easy outdoor use. Viewing angles are quite good; there's a bit of brightness drop, but no blue shift. The OnePlus 3 may not have as many pixels as its competitors, but the experience isn't lacking.
The OnePlus 3 suffices as a voice phone. Call quality is acceptable through the earpiece with little-to-no distortion, but the phone doesn't pump out enough volume. I was able to hear calls in my quiet home, a stationary car, and an empty mall with no issue, but it's nearly impossible to hold a conversation in a noisy coffee shop, moving car, or any other space with lots of background noise. Clarity could be better; The speakerphone delivers clarity that's on par with the earpiece. It also comes up weak as far as volume is concerned.

Battery:
OnePlus gave the 3 what has become the standard-size battery for a device in this class: 3,000 mAh. If you need all-day power, the OnePlus 3 has you covered in spades. I found the battery consistently pushed through 1.5 days without breaking a sweat.
The 3 includes what OnePlus calls Dash Power. It is a variant of Qualcomm's QuickCharge technology. OnePlus claims a 30-minute charge will replenish over 60% of the 3's battery, allowing for more than 7 hours of HD video playback. It recharges very quickly. The phone doesn't support wireless charging.
The OnePlus 3 delivers a lot of bang for the buck and deserves your consideration.

This is a great phone. I loved it

I bought this phone recenty and here is my view about the phone
Pros of Samsung on7 pro:
- Very good build and design.
- Having 2 GB RAM For better multitasking and gaming.
- Having 13 MP rear camera and taking decent shots.
- Having 5 MP wide angle selfie camera, but not as good as I expected.
- Good battery backup.
- 4G LTE.
- Dual sim and micro SD card support.
- Having Android Marshmallow
Cons of Samsung on7 pro:
- The processor along with gpu is not very good, The phone lags sometimes while multitasking and playing heaving games like Asphalt 8.
- It is not water-resistant.
- No screen protection like gorilla glass.
- No LED notification and auto brightness sensor.
- The display is just 720p and that to is not AMOLED, It would have been nice if it have AMOLED which gives brighter display.

Here is my review :
This device is nice and a good phone at this price.
The 5.5 inch display is good but not AMOLED
And it feels heavy to hold the mobile and takes around 2 and half to 3 hours to get fully charged.
The camera quality is okay and taking good photos in low light.
The device gets a bit of heavy during heavy use.

Sony's newest flagship-class device is the Xperia XZ. This phone builds on the design and features we saw in the Xperia X earlier this year and makes strides with the camera and video camera tools. Here are our first impressions.

Under the hood, the XZ has flagship-class specs. The XZ is powered by a Snapdragon 820 processor with Adreno 510 GPU, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of storage. The main camera rates 23 megapixels, and the selfie cam rates 13 megapixels. It also has a 2,900mAh battery with Quick Charge and CAT9 LTE.

The Android 6 Marshmallow platform carries the usual Sony UI skin. Perhaps most importantly, Sony improved the camera software so it is simpler to dial in the different shooting modes and settings. I like how quickly you can shift between normal and pro modes, as well as tweak things like exposure.
The Xperia XZ is the natural evolution of the X family we saw earlier this year. It is a flagship-level device in terms of specs and performance, but the design and display could be better.

The device still has the distinct four corners that Sony's devices so often include, which may make the phone uncomfortable in your pocket.

The device has a polycarbonate frame, 2.5D glass, and a metal rear panel. Sony calls this metal "alkaleido." It's some sort of hybrid. Pay no attention to the silly branding. I like the feel of the frame, which is smooth and seamless as it runs its course around the outer edge of the XZ. The 2.5D glass fits into the frame nicely. I'm not 100% pleased with the way the metal panel fits into the frame. It's better executed than the X Compact's plastic rear panel, but it's not a perfect fit and gaps are apparent. Worse, there's a piece of plastic filler at the bottom to allow radio signals to pass through. It just doesn't feel well thought-out.

The front face is all glass. I like that there are no buttons; the XZ uses on-screen controls. Some people may be displeased that there is no fingerprint reader and I am one of those people. A fingerprint reader has become table stakes for a flagship device and Sony's excuse for disclosing it is weak. (An exec told us it just couldn't make it happen right now.) Like the X Compact, the XZ has to slits carved into the glass for the stereo speakers. The user-facing camera and sensor array are positioned on either side of the earpiece grille.

The 5.2-inch 1080p HD display is fine, but didn't take my breath away. It is bright, colorful, and clear. Many other modern flagships have quad HD screens. Sony said it is skipping quad HD screens and will eventually go straight to ultra HD (4K) once they make more economic sense.

It's that time of the year again. after the relatively lacklustre 6s models, the iPhone 7 is now a real return to form for Apple, with genuine user benefits in terms of speakers, imaging, durability and battery life.

The iPhone 7 equipped with a quad core A10 Fusion, with two high speed 2.3GHz cores and 2 less power 1GHz cores, backed up by 2GB of RAM. The upshot, given the relatively low 750p screen, is very fast operation when needed and terrific battery life the rest of the time.

One other main change compared to previous iPhones is worth noting and it's to do with iOS 10. The slide-to-unlock is gone, instead you just have to apply pressure to the home button and you're done, the fingerprint recognition being so quick. For other lockscreen actions, swipe the whole thing right to see widgets and shortcuts, or left to gain access to Camera. It's very well done indeed.

The iPhone 7 has 12MP camera now, has a f/1.8 aperture too (c.f. f/2.2 on the 6s) - Now the camera letting in 50% more light to exposure times that can be longer. So, You can take better photos in low lights. The addition of OIS to the camera in the iPhone 7 is much more than a spec bump - it takes imaging into a whole new league by letting iPhone users shoot low light shots with confidence, knowing that the shutter can be open for much longer and that the final photo will have less noise and better colours.

The front facing camera is now 7MP, up from 5MP and is more than sufficient for selfie lovers, with the same full-screen LCD flash that's a beautiful idea and so effective.

Then there's the stereo speakers for the first time in iPhone. As with OIS in the camera, this is something of a great feature to many handsets in the Android world, but it's brand new to the iPhone and will make a huge difference when playing music and watching media like YouTube, Netflix, and so on.
An another real innovation then is the brave and infamous decision to axe the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack, with Apple mainly quoting reasons of space and difficulty of waterproofing. These are both valid, though the company's ultimate aim is to have everything be wireless. In fairness, there's a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter included as well, so that you can simply plug in the quality headphones of your choice when the time comes. Many people will simply leave the Apple adapter on the end of headphones, and thankfully Apple's only charging around $10 or local equivalent for extra adapters, so it's not a big issue to just grab a few of these and leave them on headsets or other convenient places in your life, for as and when needed.

Here is my review about Xperia M5.
The phone design is looking good and having good feel to hold it on hand, but looks just like any other Sony smartphone released in the last three years.
like in other sony phones, The front and back sides are very flat, while the sides are rounded with prominent corners. And it made of mostly from plastic, which means it feels less fancy than any other phones at this price.
It has the waterproof which is an advantage to buy this phone.
The display is so good and bright with more colors. The videos are playing like a gem.
Just like any other sony phones, Both front end and back cameras are superb, speakers are so vibrant and noise-free.
The battery is just 2600mhs which seems very low for a high-budget phone. The battery life is being claimed to be two days, but, it seems it is not upto that level, it drained fully with in a day for an average usage.

Sony has made a new model at the top of its M class of smartphones, the Sony Xperia M5. It looks very similar to the Xperia Z3+, but is not quite as well-equipped on the inside. Its standout feature is a very promising front-facing camera, nothing else.
Sony might have given the Xperia M5's appearance just like any other Z series device, but the frame is made of plastic, not metal, leaving the M5 feeling cheaper than the Z3+. The build is, however, completely waterproof and dustproof.
The display is excellent and clear, and reproduces colors brilliantly. The contrast and color range are extensive and rich and the image quality comes close to UHD screens. It is having a 5-inch IPS panel with a full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and a pixel density of 441 ppi. It exceeds the average resolving power of the human eye :).
Unlike the Sony's Z series, the Xperia M5 does not come with headphones. The in-built speakers are are very norma and offer mono rather than stereo sounds. The maximum volume is also quite low.
The Sony Xperia M5 cameras are clearly its strong point. The main camera delivers high-contrast, sharp images in 21.5 MP and the selfie camera produces pleasing wide-angle shots in 13 MP. The quick-start function can be used to wake the phone from standby and go directly into the camera app. However the shots were not quick sometimes.
And the phone has 2,600 mAh battery, which is about average for a five-inch smartphone. I don't know why Sony is still keeping the battery power low in their devices while the screen size of them are increasing in every new models.

From my perspective, there isn't a better value than the Nexus 6p. I got the 32 gig black version and it is beautiful. The metal body is both aesthetically please and gives the phone a nice build that screams quality. From a user experience perspective, the phone is fast and responsive. There are no lags at all. The Snapdragon 810 processor is zippy and I have not had any overheating or throttling of the processor despite being a heavy user. The battery life is good. It is easy to root and unlock the bootloader, if you like to tinker. The Nexus line is really built for those of us who like to mess around but this Nexus is great for anyone. The camera, which has been the bane of Nexus phones of the past, is outstanding and on par with the Galaxy S6 plus. Not only do outside shots look great, low light photography is also very high quality on the 6p. As to the previous reviewer who had concerns about how the 6p worked with Exchange mail, I do not agree. I have work Exchange mail and calendars that work fine with the GMAIL app. If I didn't like that, I could use K9 mail or any of a dozen other exchange email apps available on Google Play that would easily address his concerns. Don't let his over concern about exchange or his other irritations sway you. The Nexus 6p is easily the best Nexus ever and it is easily as good as any of the ranking flagship phones today (S6, G4, V10, Note 5 etc).

This phone is awesome

Display is the only USP of this device. RAM management is poor so multitasking is below average. Apps, however, do open up quickly. Camera is above average. But I am pleased to say that Samsung has focused on some minute details such as loud & clear speaker, excellent cellular call quality, excellent signal reception, good quality audio jack, good battery life as well as bloat free software, that play an important role in enhancing the overall end-user experience. For heavy users especially gamers, this phone is not even to be considered.

Lenovo has introduced the Lenovo Vibe K5 Note in India with two variants – one with 3GB RAM for Rs. 11,999 and another with 4GB RAM for Rs. 13,499.
Let’s talk about the features:
One of the standout features of this handset is the enhanced security with the Fingerprint Scanner, located on the rear panel just below the camera. Through this scanner, you can unlock the phone in a mere 0.3 seconds.
Like the Vibe K4 Note, this device also comes with Dolby Atmos-powered speakers. The technology also extends to the 3.5mm headphone jack. The Wolfson audio codec helps make sounds rich and clear. The phone’s 3-mic input facilitates crisp communication while on a call.
The powerful 1.8 GHz processor coupled with the RAM capacity gives you a smooth user experience even when you run multiple apps or play games with rich graphics. The dual-SIM smartphone runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Lenovo’s Pure UI skin which is closer to the pure Android feel.
The primary 13 MP camera comes with Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) technology, which allows you to capture sharp, bright images even when the subject is moving. The 8MP front camera has a 77-degree wide-angle, so you don’t have to squeeze in too much while clicking a selfie with your friends.

I was a very loyal android user until I got this device. I have to be completely honest it blew me AWAY!!! The phone has zero lag, the calls are clear, pictures are crisp and pop out. The battery life is great despite the smaller battery. I can get a full day of usage before needing to charge my phone being a heavy user. The iPhone 6s Plus processor is blazing fast and this phone has wifi calling that comes with iOS 9.2, to help with people who may live in areas where coverage isn't the best.

3D Touch helps with shortcuts so you don't have to waste so much time searching for what u need. The camera both front and rear are simply amazing and also take Live Photos to where u can press down on the screen and u can see the pic in action. Watching videos on the 6s Plus almost makes your eyes dance because of how clear they appear on the device. Even tho Samsung is king with the amoled screen, the design and screen resolution of the 6s plus is giving Samsung a run for their money.

The only detractors that I have for this phone are the price and the storage space, primarily the 16GB. In order to get the best benefits of the iPhone 6s Plus is to get a 64 GB or higher. I think it is blasphemous that Apple made a 16GB device when most manufacturers have made the 32 GB a standard in the lowest amount of storage space. And because the 64GB is $100 more than the 16GB, that is definitely something Apple need to not do with the next series.
However overall this device is simply AMAZING. I hope that Apple gets even better with the iPhone 7
Pros:
3D Touch
Blazing fast processor
Front and back cameras awesome
Call clarity
Screen resolution
Wifi calling
Battery life
Cons:
Price
Storage (16GB come on man!!)
