  • Top Water Resistant Smartphones for this Holi

    Top Water Resistant Smartphones for this Holi

    India’s festival of color and water is just around the corner. While we would seriously advocate that you do not waste water and play a dry Holi. For those still willing to go all out, the smartphone is one of the biggest victims of an accident on and around the festival of Holi.

    Imagine your phone gets struck by a water and color filled balloon, and moments later it is time to go hunting for a new one.

    While every smartphone should now feature some kind of waterproofing, many companies do not agree with us. So if you plan on playing Rambo on Holi try the following smartphones guaranteed to last through the water filled festival. Zip lock bags and plastic wrapped phones are soon to be a thing of the past.

    Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge

    Galaxy S7 S7 Edge - iGyaan Hands On 4

    The latest and greatest flagship from Samsung is actually now iP68 rated, means that it will mostly survive if immersed for up to 30 minutes or 1.5 meters under (water). The glass and metal should also prevent it from easily getting colored by Holi colors, however, industrial dyes and the infamous gold men may be instrumental in helping you change the color of your handset from say black to Gold.

     

     

    iPhone 6s and 6s Plus

    iPhone 6s and 6s plus igyaan 2

    Apple’s latest releases, to everyone’s surprise, do indeed feature a water resistant body. Though not rated or officially announced by Apple. This secretive water resistance was Apple’s way of reducing servicing costs and general user appreciation. Tested out by many people including us, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, turns out to be more resilient than Samsung’s latest and greatest S7 and S7 Edge. Offering up the same all metal design, the iPhone should fare well in colored water as long as you don’t have some serious stainers.

     

    MotoG (gen 3) and Moto X Play

    Moto G Gen 3 5

    Motorola has been adding water resistant coatings on their devices for a while, while not fully rugged they would help the phone survive spills of coffee or accidental drops in puddles. The Moto G gen 3 was a whole new breed from Motorola, with an IPX7 rating the phone is water resistant for up to 1 Meter and for a total of 30 minutes. The body is made from plastic, which may not do too well with colors, though. On the plus side, the back panel is cheap and easily replaceable. The X Play offers up a water resistant coating too though it may not survive dunking like the Moto G, however, may be less prone to color accidents or damage.

    Sony Xperia Z5, Z5 Premium, Z5 Compact

    Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

    With dual IP68 and IP65 ratings, the Xperia phones from Sony are no stranger to water. The revolution by far has ben led by the Japenese manufacturer who has led the water resistance category smartphones for a while.

    With glass on both sides and a glossy metal bezel, the Xperia Z5 series is very resistant to color and water. As a matter of fact, the number 5 in the IP65 stands for resistance from water projected by a nozzle (6.3mm) against enclosure from any direction. Reminds you of a certain subject of this story doesn’t it.

    HTC Desire Eye

    HTC Desire Eye 0

    With a whole lot of optical capability, the HTC Desire Eye makes our list. Although this complete plastic phone may not do so well with colors the HTC Desire Eye has serious cameras on the front and the back. With an IPX7 certification just like the Moto G, the phone will survive for 30 minutes under 1 m of water guaranteed.

    Of course there are many other phones and gadgets that would easily survive the onset of Holi. Have any favorites add them to the list below.

  • Moto X Force : Benchmark and Gaming

    Moto X Force : Benchmark and Gaming

    The new kid on the block, Moto X Force which has been in the news for bullying its way out of drop tests without a scratch will today be put to task in our extremely strenuous benchmark, gaming and heat test. Let’s find out how it fares when it comes to handling the most demanding games available on the Play Store.

    When it comes to gaming the Moto X Force promises to handle anything and everything you throw at it. Backed by some serious under the hood power in the form of an Adreno 430 GPU coupled with a Snapdragon 810 Quad Core rocking at 2GHz the Moto X Force gives users great gaming performance.

    The Moto X Force does not show any signs of stutter, and we noticed little or lag with seamless animations while gaming. 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM on board works in overdrive to provide users Graphics as smooth as butter, and with the help of the sturdy Quad HD AMOLED display gaming on the Moto X Force turns into a visual treat.

    Speakers at the front provide great surround audio which adds to the overall gaming experience. The device also does not seem to heat too much, with the temperature staying around 35 degrees. Motorola’s use of ballistic nylon to the back of the phone helps keep the hands from feeling any rise in temperature.

    The Moto X Force clocked impressive benchmark scores. The device scored 70839 on AnTuTu while still on Android Lollipop OS. The switch to Marshmallow OS is expected to offer better results.

    Meanwhile, the device scored 7288 on Vellamo’s Chrome browser benchmark, beating the Galaxy S6 and LG G4. The Moto X Force’s multicore performance was also good, scoring 2437, though not as impressive as many other flagships currently out there.

    To round it off, the Moto X Force not only promises a strong build with its shatterproof display, but does exceedingly well in benchmarks scores and real-world performance.

    Moto X Force: Unboxing and Hands On

    The much awaited phone with the “unbreakable display”, The Moto X Force is finally here. But before we put our hammers to work, check out our quick unboxing and hands-on of this handset.

    The Moto X Force has come to India in two storage variants, 32GB, and 64GB. Pricing is set at a steep Rs 49,990 only for the former while the beefier 64GB variant will come to stores for Rs 53,999.

    In terms of design, the phone does not stand out from any other Motorola phone in the family. It shares the DNA of most Moto phones already available in the market. The textured pattern at the back makes it easy to hold.

    The X Force comes with a design scheme which features a flat back merged with curved edges. The addition of the ShatterShield tech makes the bezel a bit thick for our liking but does not take anything away from the looks of the phone. To sum it up, the phone is not too big on looks, but you wouldn’t call it ugly. It’s plain, but pleasant to look at.

    The phone’s display is where all the magic happens. Moto X Force with its ShatterShield 5.4-inch Quad HD AMOLED display is the selling point of the phone, and to be honest, it does not disappoint. The display from beneath the multiple layer system shines bright and nice. Text, videos and games look crisp without any blurring or any such apprehensions that one might have using a phone with display protection technology like this.

    The phone comes packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core SoC clocked at 2GHz and Adreno 430 GPU. There will be 3GB of LPDDR4 RAM on board, and it will be available in 32GB and 64GB inbuilt storage options. The phone will support expandable storage up to 2TB via a microSD card slot, and will be powered by a mammoth 3760mAh battery with Quick Charging support.

    The Moto X Force packs a 21-megapixel snapper with f/2.0 aperture, dual-LED flash and Phase Detect Autofocus around the back, and a 5-megapixel selfie camera with flash and f/2.0 aperture. The 21MP rear does well in outdoor conditions but low-light captures are still poor. The device is equipped with a bunch of gesture controls that let you unlock the camera, turn on LED flash, wake up the device from sleep mode.

    To put the device’s shatterproof display to test, we dropped the Moto X Force from about a 1000-foot high and you can check what happens next by clicking on the video below.

  • Moto X Force 1000 Foot Mega Drop Test

    Moto X Force 1000 Foot Mega Drop Test

    Motorola launched the Moto X Force in India today at a price of Rs 49,999 for the 32GB variant. The smartphone’s main attraction is its ‘Shattershield’ technology. The 5.4-inch 2,560 x 1,440 panel (QHD) panel is protected by a five layer system which has allowed Motorola to brand it the “world’s first shatterproof smartphone display” thanks to what Moto calls the ShatterShield technology. The company claims the screen would stay intact for up to four years absorbing shock and providing protection against cracks.

    With so much going on with the construction of the Moto X Force, there’s really only one way to test it out – a good old fashioned drop test. We took the device up to a 1000-foot high from where we let it drop. Take a look at the video below to see whether the Moto X Force survived the fall.

    Moto X Force Launches in India

    Moto X Force launches in India with a price tag of Rs.49,999 for the 32 GB variant and Rs 53,999 for the 64 GB variant. It was launched globally last year as Droid Turbo 2 and now it has arrived here with its much talked about ‘shattershield’ display. The device will be available on Flipkart and Amazon as well as offline stores starting 8th of February. It will come in three colour variants – Soft Rubber in White and Ballistic Nylon in Black and Grey.

    On the specs front, Moto X Force packs a 5.4 inch Quad HD display with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core chipset along with 3 GB of RAM. The two internal storage options of 32 GB and 64 GB are expandable up to 2 TB with the help of a microSD card.Moto X Force Hands On iGyaan 14

    The highlight of the device is its super-hardy screen. Motorola claims to have integrated a ‘Moto Shattershield’ technology in the display of Moto Force which, it says, is the first shatterproof screen in a phone ever. The company feels confident enough to affirm the screen would stay intact for up to four years, owing to the multiple layers of different materials used in making it capable of absorbing shock and providing protection against cracking. The phone also boasts of two touchscreen layers, which make sure that the smartphone can be used even if one of the layers is cracked.
