Battle of the flagship...

                             
 
Yes you guess it right I am talking about OnePlus 2 vs Moto X Style. There might be a few hours of  difference between when these devices was launched. Both these devices was trended on social media as #HPYE and #BFF for OnePlus 2 and Moto X Style respectively. Many polls were asked on Google+ about which one is better so here we go.....................


Design:
 Both handsets are made up of premium materials and they both adopted there predecessors design with little make-ups.
The OnePlus 2 sports rounded metal frame with removable cover which is same as OnePlus One i.e Sandstone finish which feels awesome to hold and look unique if you can some more you can swap the rearcover with others options available like Kevlar,Bamboo,Rosewood and Black Apricot.
OnePlus 2 has a physical home key on front which covers a new fingerprint scanner inside and two more hardware`s buttons for back and multi-tasking.
On base you can see there is a USB-C port which reversible you can plug it either way and it is good transferring data`s fast. On left there is slider which is a good addition you can use it for notifications alert and on right it has volume keys and power buttons.


Now let talk about Moto X Style it almost killed every #Hype generated by OnePlus and there fans lots of people have already appreciated Moto X Style for its look and feel though nothing more is changed from its previous models same as OnePlus 2 it has removable rearcover lots options available to choose.
On front it has speakers above and below the display and volume and power keys are on the right hand side it is water repellent but it will not survive your if drops it in under water.

Display:



   OnePlus 2 offers same display as it`s predecessor do with a 5.5 inch Full HD that`s give a 401 ppi pixel density, while it is good for battery consumption stand by time increases with it and cost of the device can be in limit for me display is not a big problem Full HD or QHD there is not many difference can be seen.
Moto X Style has QHD resolution over a 5.7 inch display with 520ppi. It does mean that Moto X Style is taller and wider than the OnePlus 2 ( and well as thicker and heavier).

Camera:


Motorola is clearly serious about the photography department Moto X Style has a 21MP rear camera with dual LED flash. For selfies there is 5MP Snapper. OnePlus 2 has a 5MP selfie camera. However, in terms of rear camera it has 13MP with dual LED flash and Laser Auto-focus and Optical Image Stabilization and both are capable of 4K recording.

Battery and Storage:.

OnePlus 2 has slightly higher capacity it is juiced with 3,300mAh and Moto X Style has 3,000mAh and OnePlus 2 does have 16/64GB in built storage with no expandable storage and Moto X Style has 16/32/64GB in built but it has expandable storage option available. 


Power and Performance:


Both of these handsets are full packed with the latest hardware`s but OnePlus wins the race here on paper in terms of specifications.
It has the latest Snapdragon 810 Octa-core processor with 3/4GB of RAM`s depending upon internal storage 16GB or 64GB.
Meanwhile Moto X Style has Snapdragon 808 chip with 3GB RAM. We will find out how OnePlus have worked on 810 processor with overheating issue when we will gets are hands on to it.

Wrap Up: 

Oneplus 2 was criticized for not having NFC and Quick charging on there handset. Every user has different opinions for me NFC is not a big deal since I have never used it in my practical life. My friends do use it for Showoff when beautiful girls are on counter. Still NFC has a long future and most of the users change their handset every two years.
But not having Quick charging is still a dark spot on the moon so let see till now OnePlus 2 has crossed over 1 million waiting list so wait and watch.

Top 3 ROMs for Moto E (1st gen)...

                       

  So many of the Moto E users are still on Android 4.4 and the one who are on Android L and if they want to try some more customization they can use these ROMs on their mobile phones.
              If you have rooted your phone and know how to flash ROM then only you should try these ROMs to know more about rooting and flashing you can watch tutorials on Youtube and many blogs are available. Official Android L does not give any authority to user to create different Users profile option and all these ROM supports this feature.
 1. CyanogenMod OS 12.1 Condor 
                    CyanogenMod is currently the best OS for the user`s you get many option for customization and it is the most secured OS after Stock OS it has the very large team for development and many developers and tech lovers are loving to install it on their phones. User get updates regularly every week.
       CM 12.1 is build on Android L 5.1 so if someone who is waiting for L 5.1 you can get it by installing CM 12.1.

Note: CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

2. Paranoid Android 
                     Paranoid Android is quite famous after CyanogenMod it is build on Android L 5.0.2 it also offers same functions as CM do.
     Problem with this ROM is that it does not move many Application to SD card but it is fast and does not bring any lagging while using any functions. Paranoid also offers regular update to there user through OTA.

3. Tesla ROM
          The Best among three personally I think after using all of these ROMs I found Tesla ROM One of The best and most stable ROM. It have tons of features Slimpie, App circle and etc it has inbuilt SuperSu.
             It also have screen recorder inbuilt just like OnePlus One it is super fast and till now no bugs found based on Android L 5.1. The only feature lack in Tesla ROM is that it does not have Theme Engine but you can change or customize layers to look beautiful.
 Good news is that just yesterday the Tesla team has announced the latest version 1.9 go download it and enjoy it.

The company also announced the news on its Twitter account, and said, "Get ready for a triple dose of happiness! #Yuphoria - Made in India." The tweet includes an attached image that said "No registrations, no time limits."
An open sale for the Yuphoria smartphone means that consumers will not be required to register to purchase the handset during the sale. The company, at the time of writing, had not revealed the number of units that will be up for sale from Tuesday to Thursday.

Priced at Rs. 6,999, it runs Android 5.0 Lollipop-based Cyanogen OS 12 and is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916) processor coupled with 2GB of RAM and Adreno 306 GPU.

    Yu have 2 Phones under their belt Yu Yureka and Yu Yuphoria both phones were praised by the tech lovers but if we look at the customers review it was a mixed result and Micromax has been the bad boy in customer support.

              Personally before investing my money to any phone I always see the customers’ reviews and users rating because Indian customers are very expressive if they are not happy with their product they will expressed it on the review page for other customer`s. So here is link for you all guys have a look Yuphoria.
