OnePlus 2 Temperature test......

                         

            OnePlus 2 is the great phone with almost every new Hardware is used to build it but nevertheless we human`s has the tendency to look only at negative parts so as it was for OnePlus 2 with Snapdragon 810 2.1v Processor was used in OnePlus 2. Many People`s were concerned about heating issue but personally I am using OnePlus 2 from 4 days and I have not feel any serious heat on my device. OnePlus has done tremendous job to keep temperature down as possible.

             In the above video OnePlus 2 was compared with other devices like Samsung S6, iPhone 6, LG G Flex 2, LG G4, Nexus 6 and HTC One M9 and results was totally unexpected with OnePlus 2 didn't heat up much like other devices. In that comparison You-tuber plays videos on every device at the same time and checks temperature on every corners and in the middle and gets the average result.

  

            OnePlus 2 does gets heats up when playing games continuously and though temperature is normal but because of metal frame we feel some minor heat but nothing to worry about that heat it is normal. If you have an invite just go for Oneplus 2.

( Top 5 features of Android M.)

( Smartphone`s Selling Revolution.)

       Phone is beautifully designed though it weighs around 175g but feels good in hands and specially that new magnesium alloy frame feels very nice. Overall OnePlus 2 works fluently because of 4GB DDR4 RAM and Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 2.1v chipset. There is also an improved camera in OnePlus 2 will talk more about that in my full review. Fingerprint works 9/10 for me and it is fast not accurate as iPhone but it is very good for only $389(Rs.25,000).

                                           You can buy OnePlus 2 from Amazon.in or from Oneplus.net ( Outside India) with an invite only system so if you are looking for an good phone at a very reasonable price go for OnePlus 2 no 2nd thoughts. Soon I will post a full review of OnePlus 2 on my blog so keep checking my blog do share it. Because sharing is caring.

OnePlus 2 Packaging rating: 8/10.

Top 5 features of Android M.....

   

     
                  Google recently announced Android M and just few days back Google named Android M as Marshmallow . Now with M coming into frame Android is now more sweeter and here I am going to present you Top 5 features of Android M.

1.App Permissions.

The App Permissions got a major overhaul and Google will allow users to decide which permissions they want to allow or revoke, based on when those particular functions are used. Unlike the current implementation, where users have to agree to all app permissions on first install and also for updates, in Android M, users will get notifications asking for permissions only when they are using a particular function in an app. Google has identified eight parameters including location, camera, contacts and so on, to help you give permissions for these. So for instance, in WhatsApp if you want to send a voice message, the App Permissions tab will pop up, asking you for permission to use the microphone. You can also revoke the permission later if you so wish. Also, app updates will also not ask you for permissions off the bat, unless you are using a feature which needs you to grant that particular app some permission.

2. Android Pay.

This feature will let you make your payments using near-field communication (NFC) and host card emulation techniques for tap-to-pay services. You just need to unlock your phone, keep it near an NFC terminal and your payment is done, without opening any app. Google says when you add in your card details, a virtual account number is created to make your payments. Your actual card number is not shared with the store during the transaction. According to Google, Android Pay will be pre-installed on AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile devices and will be accepted in around 700,000 stores in the US which accept contact-less payment. Android Pay will replace the Google Wallet app. Android Pay can also be used to make in-app payments provided developers integrate Pay into their apps.

3. Doze.

 Battery life is the main question when we buy the new smartphone and not many phones can survive a whole day and with Doze aims to solve or minimize the wastage of battery by reducing the power consumed by the device when in idle state. Google claims that with using Doze they have achieved a battery life that`s twice as long on the Nexus 9. This is done by minimizing the background processes when not in use. This is the most Important feature in M and will be very useful to all users.    

4. Fingerprint Sensor Support.

Android M will standardize the fingerprint sensor support and it is working with various phones to make a standard API to go with their sensors. You can use your fingerprint to authorize an Android Pay transaction, unlock your device or make Play Store purchases.

 5. Google Now on Tap.

You The biggest change with Android M is the new Google Now on Tap  which will ensure that users don`t have to leave an app they want to search for something on Google Now. For instance if someone messages you about a new restaurant, You can then just ask Google Now for details without leaving the app you are currently using. Google Now will then locate all the details about the app.  

• Other`s features 
•  USB Type-C Support.
•  RAM Manager.
•  Network Settings Reset.
•  Rotating Home screen.
• Ability to Choose Status Bar Icons.

Smartphone`s Selling Revolution.

                 

         Revolution is such a powerful word that can change the whole world in a very less time. Even Smartphone is also the part of a Communication revolution but at the present time Companies are not focusing on building an Revolutionary products there main concern is how to sell all that piece of a shit created by them or many companies do re-brand some product and Sell it to the customer`s and try to earn maximum profit by doing it.

                                       Making Profit is the only reason for The Revolution in Selling with that Online only selling, Flash sales, Invite only(Highly criticized), and etc were born. It may be the reason in boost of smartphone may be because we can sit at home and simply with a click we can buy a phone for us.

        With every revolution there are some pros and cons in this case too we have some pros and cons. Pros are Time saving process, Paperless payment, Delivery at our door step and websites like Amazon.in helps customers very much. Cons are Exclusively on single website, No more Offline Store means that we can`t get our hands on phone before buying that device and etc.

      Now the latest problem is with invite only system where many users are ready with the money for buying OnePlus 2 but they have to wait for an invite to buy that device and if they don`t get an invite than they compromise with other brands.( I am also that beggar who is waiting for an Indian invite.).
                Making Profit is necessary to run the company but with that only companies can only earn money not the love or respect they should earn by the customers. In past we can buy the phones at anytime and anywhere but now we are restricted phone makers decide that when we should buy the phone and from where we should buy the phone. So guys please let me know what do you think about these selling systems.

For now enjoy watching this video you will love it:
Even Hitler is waiting for an invite.

Which one do you prefer?

Online.

Offline.

I don`t care.

M for Marshmallow

       

          Google announced it`s latest OS Android M on Google I/O developers conference but everyone was excited to know What M stands for? now mystery is solved M stands for Marshmallow beating others name like milkshake, moonpie and malt balls, mocha, madeleine, macaroon and the most obvious: M&M.

                                                       

         With adding Marshmallow as a name to it`s Operating system Android become more sweeter. It's tradition for each major overhaul of the dominant mobile operating system to be designated with a letter of the alphabet and attached to a sugary treat. The first version to observe this was Cupcake (1.5), which was followed by Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat , Lollipop and now Marshmallow. Lets see next year what N will stands for Nutella ?

              Google has now introduced the official Android 6.0 SDK (Software Developer Kit) and the Play Store will be open for developers to publish apps that target the new API level 23 in Android Marshmallow. According to an official blogpost by Google, developers can also test out specific features like auto-backup and app permissions in the new Android 6.0 SDK.

         
The latest version includes native support for fingerprint sensors, allowing the authentication method to be used for Play Store and Android Pay services. There's also an API to let developers make use of fingerprint sensors for their apps.

There is also an updated power-saving mode called 'doze' which can reduce background activity when the device is not being held.

Marshmallow also streamlines the "permissions" model for users to install and upgrade apps.

Users running certain apps will not need to grant any permissions when they install or upgrade, and the applications instead request permissions as it needs them.

Android is used in nearly 80 per cent of smartphones worldwide, although many devices use older versions for which upgrades are not available. Android is also the leading platform for tablets, according to market surveys.

   the final preview build of Marshmallow (previously known as 'Android M'), which is available now. The final public release is scheduled for 'Q3' 2015, although as usual most users will have to wait for their device manufacturers and service providers to approve the update before it rolls out.

OnePlus The Begging Institute.

   

     
  Today I am writing my blog as an angry fan who has been acting like a like beggar at every social media website from the last couples of weeks begging for an invites I am not alone there are many peoples like who are begging or asking for an invites but still not received any invites. OnePlus Co-founder Carl promised that for OnePlus 2 getting invites will be easy and rollout for an invites will be fast but looking at current situation scenes looks different.

       And in recent post at OnePlus website Carl announced that they are going to slow the rollout of invites. This is not the professional way when you are launching your phone at the global level everything should be done systematically but here looking at OnePlus situation They are loosing the battle by others OEMs.

   It was clear OnePlus 2 was awesome from every aspect with some issues like NFC & Quickcharging but for $389 we can`t get everything. The Battle ground was created by OnePlus but now Moto X Style is winning battle it is obvious that someone who can`t get there hands on OnePlus 2 will go for Moto X Style and I will also do that so.

         I previous interview Carl said that in few years there will be only Apple,Samsung and OnePlus in Smartphones business Yup! that shows that how overconfident they were. OnePlus says that they are user based company and now they are testing the patience of users by not giving them an invites. In past we all have the right to choose at what time, which date and from which place we have to buy the phone but now everything is changed now OEMs decide that when and where users will buy the phone.
    Hope OnePlus can come up with good solution for all these problems finger crossed let hope for the best.

"Slower than anticipated invite rollout"- OnePlus

 

     Today OnePlus co-founder Carl pei used it`s forum page to announce that OnePlus 2 invites rollout  will be slower than anticipated in the coming weeks. He also gives some reasons like that some device might get problem with USB-C and Oxygen OS will also go under construction for some improvements.

     "There is continuous work being done on Oxygen OS to improve the overall product experience"


"In addition, we’ve seen a few cases where the material of the new USB Type-C cable is not holding up to our standards. This is being resolved upstream"

 Earlier it was announced that North America might have to wait 2-3 weeks for OnePlus 2 but it`s look like that others region will have to wait for some more time.

"I want to clarify the situation with our invite and product rollout. On Monday, we wrote a note about a 2-3 week delay in North America. I want to let you know that we’re going to slow the rollout of invites in other regions as well in the coming few weeks"

             Oneplus will closely monitor and act on users feedback. If anyone has OnePlus 2 and are facing any issue, OnePlus team is on standby to help do visit them at oneplus.net/support.

   Don`t know what is going wrong with OnePlus because launching any device globally and creating so much #HYPE on social networking and then pulling it out with some reason don`t know why every should tested on every aspect but let`s hope for the best.
