Iphone 6, still usable in 2018? 4 years later, Revisited

                           Iphone 6 was released in 2014 and marked the new era for apple. It was one of the most sold out phones of apple. Apple followed the similar design for four years even up to the Iphone 8 and 8 plus which looks similar to the Iphone 6. But how does it hold up in 2018?            Apple launched Iphone 6 with a bigger 4.7-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen (16M colors) display (~65.8% screen-to-body ratio) and with a resolution of 750 x 1334 pixels, 16:9 ratio (~326 ppi density). It came with apple’s then latest apple A8 chipset and a Dual-core 1.4 GHz Typhoon (ARM v8-based) processor along with Power VR GX6450 (quad-core graphics) and was powered by 1Gb of DDR3 RAM.   The phone came with iOS 8 preinstalled and is upgradable to the latest iOS 11. The phone had a Non-removable Li-Po 1810 mAh battery (6.9 Wh). The phone had an aluminum unibody design with dimensions 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm (5.44 x 2.64 x 0.27 in) and weighed 129 g (4.55 Oz)

ONEPLUS 5T, Real flagship killer? .... worth the hype? A Review

                              Oneplus hasn't been around for a long time but it has made a reputation of its own in this short period of time. Oneplus has been suprising us since it launched its first phone in 2013. It was the first time that a chinese startup company without any reputation or name went on and build a phone that became very popular among people in no time. Oneplus became estabilished among us customers in a very short time and started competing with flagship smartphone manufacturers in no time. Infact Oneplus showed that it could go on and build flagship level phones at an affordable price.               The oneplus 5t is the latest addition to the Oneplus family. As opposed to releasing just one smartphone a year, this time Oneplus went ahead and launched the Oneplus 5T just two months after the oneplus 5 was launched. In fact there isn’t much difference between the oneplus 5 and oneplus 5t regarding their internal configuration and price

Microsoft Surface 2 RT, Is it still usable in 2018, a Revisit

Microsoft’s second addition to the surface family, ‘the surface 2’ was a really innovative product when it was launched in 2013. The surface 2 was able to solve all the problems that the first surface had. The surface 2 spotted a 1920x1080 IPS LCD Capacitive touch screen which was much better than its predecessor surface 1 which came in a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. The smaller pixels gave the surface 2 a fresh look and took it in par with the Apple’s ipad 5 released at that time making it one of the high end tablets available during that time. The surface 2 was slimmer, sleaker and was more attractive than the original surface. The surface 2 had a more powerful Nvidia Tegra Quad Core processor and 2GB of DDR3 RAM. The surface 2 was released with windows 8.1 RT and with MS office pre installed. It had the usual refinements from the original surface like stereo speakers but this time the sound quality was much better and with a USB 3.0 full sized port ra
