    Top Accessories To Buy For Your Smartphone

    Once we buy a new smartphone, the first thing we do is get a mobile cover and a screen protector for it. But there are other useful accessories as well that can increase the usefulness of your phone. In this article we will discuss little known accessories that you can buy on Amazon for a throwaway price!

    AmazonBasics Mobile Phone Repair Kit

    This is an extremely handy tool if you like to repair your own phones. The repair kit for smartphones can be used for mobile devices, game systems, wristwatches, and eyeglasses.

    Sports Arm Band Protective 

    If you are a fitness freak then this accessory may be a life-saver!

Using this, you won’t have to worry about losing your keys and credit cards at the gym or at the park.

    Water Resistant Waist Phone Bag

    Another mobile carrying pouch, this is a multi-purpose tool for storage and ease to carry. The pouch is water resistant, but it is not waterproof. The straps can be threaded through the loops on the back for a tight fit on the belt or any combination of wear options and belt sizes.

    This tele lens is a great accessory for the photographers who use their phone a lot. We all have wished the phone camera had a tele lens and not just digital zoom. Even though many phones nowadays are equipped with two or more lenses which range from wide to tele, if your phone does not have that then this accessory is great for you. The lens screws into the clip that comes with it. This ensures that the lens perfectly aligns with your camera. It can be great for using in concerts, tourist destinations, zoos and any other long-distance shooting. The lens is a 12X zoom lens and is portable and detachable.

The light provides the same daylight colour temperature as popular professional xenon flashes. So you get natural-looking skin tones, the right depth and soft shadows.

It works with all smartphones and can be easily carried in pocket or a small bag The light comes with the light itself and a USB to 3.5mm charging cable. 

     

  • Essential Ph-1 Could Launch In India At A Price Of Rs.30,000

    Essential Ph-1 Could Launch In India At A Price Of Rs.30,000

    Essential Ph-1, the first Android smartphone with a notch is coming to India. A report claims that the smartphone will be available exclusively via Amazon for less than Rs. 30,000. At this price tag, the Essential Ph-1 will be a great offering for Indian consumers.

    The smartphone was officially launched in the US for US$699, and the price has been brought down to US$450 due to unimpressive sales numbers. The phone does offer one of a kind design language, with a sturdy build quality. Though it has flagship specifications, the camera performance was highly criticised, which explains the global shipping number of 88,000 units.

    Specifications:

    On the front, the Essential Ph-1 packs in a 5.71-inch IPS LCD QHD+ touch panel with 19:10 aspect ratio, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Octa-core processor, coupled with 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage.

    Like most of the modern flagship smartphones, the phone offers dual camera setup (13 MP + 13 MP) RGB + monochrome setup. In this case, the monochrome sensor helps to capture the depth details to give bokeh effect. The front-notch on the display houses an 8 MP selfie camera with 4K video recording capability.

    The smartphone packs in a 3040 mAh sealed battery with Quickcharge 4.0+ capability. The smartphone runs on stock Android 7.1 Nougat and expected to receive Oreo update soon via OTA.

     Conclusion:

    The affordable flagship segment in India is getting more competitive with the recent offerings like Moto Z2 Force and Honor View10. The addition of the Essential Ph-1 makes it more exciting for the consumers. But, with devices like the Mi Mix 2S and OnePlus 6 expected to be launched soon, is it too little too late for Essential Ph-1?

  • Amazon Echo Dot, Prime Music Might Be Arriving In India This Diwali

    Amazon Echo Dot, Prime Music Might Be Arriving In India This Diwali

    Looks like Amazon’s Echo Dot will be there to share the workload this Diwali. From placing online orders for sweets and firecrackers to selecting outlets for Diwali shopping, the smart speaker will do it all.

    According to latest reports, Amazon’s much famed Echo Dot may go on sale in India this Diwali, along with the Prime Music service. The Alexa powered smart speaker does a host of things on the tip of your command such as, ordering pizza, booking Uber rides, etc . The Amazon Echo Dot, which costs $50 in the USA, might be priced at Rs 3,000 in India, whereas, its bigger sibling, Amazon Echo may not arrive in India due to its heftier price tag.

    Amazon’s Prime Music services will rival Apple Music and Google Play Music in India with a library of over 2 million songs available to all the Amazon Prime customers. The Amazon Prime subscription is available in India at Rs 450 per year, but, there are reports that the subscription fee will go up in the coming months. The Echo Dot, currently available in the United States and several other markets, supports a range of music integrations and other skills. Though most of the music services supported by Amazon, including Spotify and Pandoro are not yet available in India, but the soon to be arriving Echo Dot will support services like Prime Music and Gaana.

    Aside from the basic features, Amazon Echo Dot will enable users to control the smart lights in their home/office via voice commands. With the help of Alexa, Amazon’s AI assistant, users can get answers to trivia questions, play music, order food, book cab rides, check your calendar and much more by just calling out “Alexa.”

    Jan Dawson of Jackdaw research says, “The big challenge with Echo will be language support since it’s basically only worked in English so far, and they’ll need to localize for Indian pronunciations and idioms (not to mention other local languages eventually too).” Amazon began hiring people in India for Alexa and Echo device late last year, according to job postings on the website. Furthermore, the company has been offering  several incentives to the developers such as free t-shirts and other goodies for writing Alexa-enabled skills.

    Meanwhile, Google Home, the smart speaker from Google has been unofficially available on Amazon India for Rs 17,999 and so is the Amazon Echo Dot eBay for Rs 3,000. With smart home systems not prominent in India right now, time will tell how the Echo Dot is received by the consumers. A majority of the consumers in India still shy away from paying for media consumption, hence the arrival of Prime Music with Echo Dot to rival Apple Music and Google Play Music will be an interesting battle.

  • Snapdeal – Flipkart Deal Is A No Go , Snapdeal To Focus On Snapdeal 2.0

    Snapdeal – Flipkart Deal Is A No Go , Snapdeal To Focus On Snapdeal 2.0

    Snapdeal looked certain to be Flipkart’s next big acquisition and usher in a duopoly era in the e-commerce sector with Flipkart and Amazon the only two remaining big players. But, on Monday Snapdeal said it was terminating the talks of selling off its stakes to Flipkart, to pursue a new path.

    A Snapdeal spokesperson in a statement said, “As we have been exploring strategic options over the months, we have decided to pursue an independent path and terminate all strategic discussions” interestingly without naming Flipkart. The negotiations between Flipkart and Snapdeal for a possible acquisition were said to be mediated by Snapdeal’s principal investor, SoftBank.

    Flipkart offered to buy out Snapdeal for a revised amount, valued in the range of $900 million to $950 million last month, but the deal has seemingly fallen through as Snapdeal prepares for Snapdeal 2.0. Flipkart’s offer was discussed with Snapdeal’s investors Ratan Tata and Aseem Premji as well. Kunal Bahl, co-founder and CEO of Snapdeal has insisted to focus on the road ahead of rebuilding the company and focussing on the growth of its business.

    We have a compelling direction (Snapdeal 2.0) to create life-changing experiences for millions of buyers and sellers across the country. With the sale of certain non-core assets, we expect to be financially self-sustainable. We look forward to the support of our community, including employees, sellers, buyers and other stakeholders in helping us create a designed-for-India commerce platform.

    Flipkart recently sold Freecharge, which it bought for Rs 2,500 crore to Axis bank for Rs 385 crore. Snapdeal 2.0 is turning out to be a difficult chapter for staff and investors alike. Snapdeal has let go of 600 employees in the last month without any notice and only one month’s severance package.

    Kunal Bahl, co-founder of Snapdeal elaborated on their new plan, Snapdeal 2.0 and said that it would make possible for anyone to setup an online and focus on providing a wide range of products at a great price. He also stated that they have made progress on this path and are in line to make a profit of Rs 150 crore in the next 12 months.

    Last July, Snapdeal boasted a work-force of 9,000 employees. According to a report, Snapdeal is planning to let go off 1,000 of its 1,200 current employees and carry forward with the Snapdeal 2.0 mission with the remaining people. The decision of not taking the deal put forth by Flipkart seems to have taken industry experts by surprise. But, Kunal Bahl has explained that the deal was too complicated to execute.

    What Snapdeal 2.0 does for the company is to be seen in the coming months, but the resurgence of Flipkart and the domination of Amazon sure pose a stiff competition for Snapdeal in the Indian e-commerce market.

  • Flipkart All Set To Takeover Rival Snapdeal

    Flipkart All Set To Takeover Rival Snapdeal

    Flipkart is reportedly closing in on taking over e-commerce rivals Snapdeal. A report claims that the Snapdeal board has accepted Flipkart’s offer in the region of $900-$950 million last week. The future of Snapdeal has been a topic of discussion for the longest time and looks like the speculations will finally end now as the deal reaches a completion.

    Snapdeal has raised over $1.5 billion over the years including, from investors such Alibaba and Softbank. Snapdeal was valued at $6.5 billion as recently as 2015 and is now set to be taken over by Flipkart for under $1 billion. It has also been reported that other assets such as FreeCharge, which Snapdal acquired two years ago will be sold off to Axis Bank.

    Flipkart’s new CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy, who took up the position in January of this year seems to be on the track of resurging the e-commerce giants. Under his leadership, Flipkart looks to be preparing to go head-on against global e-commerce leader Amazon. Flipkart also recently raised funding of $1.4 billion from eBay, Microsoft and Tencent at a valuation of $11.4 billion. All in the while acquiring eBay.in under its portfolio.

    eBay recently sold its India business, eBay India Private Limited, to Flipkart.

    With Snapdeal’s acquisition, Flipkart and Amazon will be the only players in the e-commerce space and this duopoly is a bad news for any other up-and-coming e-commerce player. Flipkart seems to be making up the ground it lost to Amazon in the recent past and this aggressive Snapdeal acquisition is just another step towards gaining back that power position.

    Amazon’s heavy investments in their Indian businesses, as much as $5 billion, since it launched India operations in late-2012 indicate that Amazon is serious about turning this duopoly into a monopoly. The e-commerce war is in full swing and it’ll be interesting to see how this pans out in the coming years.

  • Anytime May Be Amazon’s Answer to WhatsApp and Messenger

    Anytime May Be Amazon’s Answer to WhatsApp and Messenger

    With the ever increasing messaging apps, here’s another name to add to the messaging app consortium. Though with Facebook, Apple and Google, the messaging apps have reached a saturation point, it reportedly hasn’t stopped Amazon from taking a shot at it. According to reports, Amazon has been working on it’s own messaging app for Android, iOS and desktop.

    While it’s a little too early to speculate the app’s features, the Anytime app is rumored to be a full-featured, standalone messaging app for smartphones, tablets, PCs and smart watches.  Designed to let people chat via text and video, exchange photos with filters, play games etc. Anytime will allow the users to engage with other Amazon services like making reservations, shopping, business interactions etc while sharing all this with your messaging buddies. The app is also said to include all the mainstay features like message encryption, stickers  to begin with and then voice and video calls at a later stage.

    Amazon has also been reported to survey its customer base about the potential features. Some of which include, groups, gaming, filters for images and video, and personal along with business chats.

    The app is also apparently different from the likes of WhatsApp and messenger in the following ways.

    • Reportedly, only a name will be required to reach out to another user.
    • Unlike WhatsApp, Anytime might not be dependent on phone numbers of users.
    • Only Twitter-style @ mentions will be needed to share photos or bring people into conversations.
    • The chats can be color-coded just in case you need to highlight the  important ones.

    Amazon has already paved it’s way in the messaging and communications market with the launch of Chime- A video conferencing app for business users.  Provided the rumors are correct, a chat app would offer Amazon another way to bring people into its stride. Anytime is reported to be  designed to compete against messaging apps such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp etc and the fact that no phone number is needed to registerer the app maybe something that will excite potential users.

  • Moto G4 Play Launching in India on 6th Of September On Amazon

    Moto G4 Play Launching in India on 6th Of September On Amazon

    Motorola has been teasing a new launch smartphone for a while, and it seems that the Moto G4 play will launch much before the Moto E3 Power which was on sale in Hong Kong recently. The Moto G4 Play has a MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 along with a 5 inch 1280 x 720p display.

    The G4 play should come in it a more affordable price, and we are expecting it to be around the Rs. 10,000 price bracket or lower. The Moto G4 play is also among the few phones available today that will offer up a removable battery.

    Motorola is attempting to increase penetration of the already popular Moto G4 by introducing a more budget friendly, gaming centric handset. Possibly to take on the Samsung Galaxy J lineup.

    The Moto G4 Play will be an Amazon.in Exclusive as seen from the tweet below.

  • Amazon to Launch Amazon Prime in India This Year for Rs 3999

    Amazon to Launch Amazon Prime in India This Year for Rs 3999

    Amazon Prime is one of the best subscription services offered by the company and there are many benefits of becoming a Prime member. Some of which include free two day shipping, Amazon Prime Video library which works like Netflix, unlimited music streaming via Amazon Prime Music and Prime Photos give you unlimited Photo storage. You will also get a 30 minute heads up to Amazon instant deals and almost a million e-books.

    Amazon also delivers better customer support to Prime members, with express exchanges and returns. The company has stayed away from a membership model in India, due to several government restrictions and also due to it being a grey area with respect to success expected from said model in India. Flipkart tried and failed with a similar model offering next day shipping for a yearly fees for Rs 500 and later discontinued the service without informing the consumers.Flipkart has now brought back the Flipkart First service and claims a lot of people have subscribed to it.

    amazon-prime-day

     

    The Amazon fulfilled service works in the same way however does not offer up free shipping typically charging a couple hundred rupees for overnight delivery.

    Amazon is working hard to bring its prime service to what is now a large online community that is ready to consume content online, on there phones, tablets, computers and smart TVs.

    Amazon-Prime-boxSomeone close to the Amazon Prime launch in India claims that the challenges are immense in bringing about the kind of awareness that is required to launch and monetise a feature like this. Netflix’s recent launch has seen great appreciation from Indian consumers and Amazon is taking that data to understand subscription trends in India.

     

    With Amazon racing fast to reach the number one E-Commerce spot in India, services like these will possibly help the company reach new consumers. Amazon offers prime in the US for $99 for a year which roughly translates to Rs. 6700. Our source exclaims that the price may turn out to be too high for the India region, and Amazon is known to offer differential pricing based on region.

    Amazon is planning to launch Prime services, most of them, in 2016, with a yearly subscription as low as Rs 3999.

    While we are not sure if Amazon will be able to launch the whole suite of Prime services in the coming months, it will however, be a great add-on to what seems to be a growing appreciation for customer support and service in India.

     

  • Flipkart Plays Sore Loser in the Moto G4 Launch

    Flipkart Plays Sore Loser in the Moto G4 Launch

    Flipkart sees some bad days while the company is seeing a mark down in share value by up to 27%, a lot of manufacturers are choosing to go with other Online e-commerce players which offer not only better customer support but have better business practices.

    A mutual fund managed by Morgan Stanley has recently marked down the value of Flipkart’s shares by 27%, indicating that global investors believe India’s largest internet company is overvalued.

    Flipkart, who had in a press release, mentioned that the value of the company is at $15.2 billion right now. A 27% fall in Flipkart’s share price would imply Flipkart’s valuation now is around $11 billion vs. the 15.2 billion claimed.

    But, yesterday’s launch of the Moto G4 was an indication of one of many manufacturers including Lenovo, and now Lenovo-owned Moto, who have shifted their sales to the like of Amazon with higher levels of customer satisfaction. Xiaomi, a brand who had launched in the country with Flipkart has also turned to Amazon this year for offering the Redmi Note 3.

    Losing out on flash sales and exclusive launches means that E-commerce giants like Flipkart will also lose out on significant and quick revenues, a large chunk of traffic and customer loyalty.

    Flipkart today released a print ad reading  #motoOnFlipkart which is identical to the advertisement done by Amazon for their Moto on Amazon.

    It seems that Flipkart is now worried that it is losing a large chunk of its revenue to the likes of Amazon and even Snapdeal, and now foul play mode is on.

    Earlier this morning the hashtag #motoOnFlipkart was trending on Twitter and some users noticed.

    Google Nexus 5X Undergoes Huge Price Cut on Amazon

    For those of you who loved the Google Nexus 5X but held back because of its price; we have good news for you.The phone that was originally priced at Rs. 31,990 for its 16GB version is now priced at Rs. 20,990. However, we need to first take note, that this price change is available not on the official store but on Amazon.in and only until the 24th of January.

    This is the second major price-cut Nexus 5X has undergone. Just a couple of weeks ago, close after its launch, the price had fallen down to about Rs. 25,000, and now it has dipped again. This definitely doesn’t sound like good news for the Google device which failed to fare well with customers.
