Nokia Asha Series : A story

 It dates back to Year 2010 when Nokia Launched Asha series .I purchased Nokia Asha 309 in 2012 years ,which supported wifi ,whatsapp and Facebook app .It was great struggle as there were no updates for Symbian OS so whatsapp lacked functionality moreover phone in competition had much more enhanced features due to android OS . Even basic functionality like control brightness also was also lacking in Asha 309 .But still it was budget segment phone and battery also made justice with standby for 7 days was enough with one charge .  As phone was running on Symbian OS so there was no need to worry about battery drainage and moreover it has just had 2.4 capacitive touch screen so ,it was obvious there was no need to worry about battery . Thanks to Nokia they implemented wifi so i never had to recharge with data plans for the same ,as data plans were expensive in 2012 era nowadays data plans are available at dirt cheap in India . Below is the link i am leaving with unboxing of my Nokia Asha 309 after 8 year's and Yes !! it still works .

MOTO ONE POWER AFTER 1 YEAR USAGE

I think moto one power is doing great job in terms of security patch update ,they are not fast as compared to Nokia Android phones ,still great .Till Now i am using moto one power as primary phone and its performance is great ,thanks to Android One program .Camera performance has been great now support's 4K video recording but don't except good stabilisation optimisation during capturing 4K video recording . No hang nothing .During watching Amazon prime Video full screen is not being fully supported as there is notch .So Motorola need's to work on that .

Feature's that are missing from Motorola Line up :-
1.Call recording .
2.Screen recording .

As i have meeting's i need to record all because all voice recording for reference so i have to use Redmi phone .

Android Security update for Moto One power

Motorola is doing great with it's phone with android one program ,it very surprising that Last week i got security patch for Android Pie update .With file size of 103 Mb phone was booted with Android January security update which is really good as earlier Motorola was not keeping it's security up to date .Below is the Video and snapshot for the Jan Security path .

Asphalt 9 Legends | Review

Gameloft introduced Asphalt 9 Legends which is currently available for Android user's .I have already reviewed this on YouTube .Games packs within 1.5Gb installation file as usual with previous versions of the game.Controls have changed as only right or left path needs to be selected whenever system show's .In main control game drift toggle on left and nitro on right toggle .For Asphalt fan's it would disappoint as there is no left and right control toggle as this is auto controlled in this version .

The main difference comes in graphics i played on Moto one power with Snapdragon 636 and graphic rendering was fine  .

And as usual Games comes with season wise race obstacles with each obstacles gamer need's to win enough blue-prints so as to get new car at the end of the season .Below is the link for Asphalt 9 Legends game play .

TELECOM IN 2019 |SMARTPHONES

Nokia and Ericsson are working on development for 5G technology even though testing for 5G is in progress as operator's would be opting new 5G technology this would naturally give boost to Chip Manufacturers like Qualcomm & Mediatek to manufacture processors 5G network module and there is great new's from  Qualcomm they have introduced SD 855 which would support 5G .

Cloud Computing and AI integration in Telecom would be largely deployed which in simple words means that all old servers would be replaced by new compact hardware which would support concept of VM (multiple servers on one physical server's) .AI would be greatly deployed in this all report's making process and KPI analysis would be implemented on automation which would result less human interaction in return less involvement of work force.

Current Status :- Nokia is working with BSNL for 5G deployment (government owned telecom operator in India ) .Ericsson is working with Rjio for 5G deployment .

Which one is best Moto One power or Realme Pro

These day's people are more focused on budget segment Smartphones as Phone maker's are emphasizing on best specification's which includes high end microprocessor's .in this race people are more confused which phone to buy ,so here comes best two phones under 15K  ,Moto one power and Realme Pro .

1. Moto one power comes with pure android while while Realme Pro comes with custom OS running on android oreo .But Motorola promises regular updates and two android updates .
2. Moto one power houses 5000 mAh battery while Realme  comes with 3500 mAh.
