Moto E 2nd Gen Is Currently The Cheapest 4G Smartphone In India.

  In the race of 4G smartphones in India, Motorola seems to have taken a big leap, at least as far as the pricing goes. It has announced the all new Moto E with 4G support at a jaw-dropping Rs 5,499.

However, there’s a twist. The said pricing comes after ‘the special offer of Rs 500 off on limited stocks+ Exchange offer up to Rs 1500+ Flipkart e-gift voucher of Rs 500 with a new Airtel Connection.’

The Moto E second-gen sports a 4.5-inch display compared to the 4.3-inch display in the previous model and will have a 540 x 960 pixels resolution. 

The offer is applicable on 4G LTE variant that comes powered by quad-core processor and runs the latest Android Lollipop OS version. It is coupled with 1GB RAM.

It comes with an internal storage of 8GB that can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card slot. In terms of camera, the device has a 5MP rear snapper along with an auto focus sensor and includes features like geo-tagging, panorama, and HDR. It also comes with a front-facing VGA camera. The Moto E 4G variant runs Android 5.0 Lollipop.

In terms of connectivity, the device has WiFi, GPS, Radio and Bluetooth. The water resistant Moto E is fuelled by a 2390 mAh battery compared to the 1980 mAh seen in the previous model.

Android M Developer preview on nexus 5 sharply increased standby time!!

\

Android M is going to have a few interesting and exciting features. One of them is called Doze and is activated when your Android handset is inactive for a period of time. With Doze, the phone goes into a deeper sleep than it currently does and and a result, standby times are more than doubled. Once Doze is disabled (which happens when you pick up the phone), syncs and open tasks which were halted are carried out by the model.

Another feature of Android M is App Standby. With this feature, once your phone is unplugged, apps deemed to be inactive are prohibited from receiving network support and any syncs and open jobs are suspended. Once you plug in your phone, the idle apps will regain network connectivity. Android M will most likely offer those who need specific apps to run at all times, the ability to disable the feature on certain apps.

To see how Doze and App Standby might work in real life, a Nexus 5 was loaded with the Android M Developer Preview and measured against the same model loaded with Android 5.1.1. The result? After 8 hours in standby, the Nexus 5 with Android 5.1.1 consumed 4% of its battery life as opposed to 1.5% with the Nexus 5 running Android M. After 24 hours, the Lollipopped version of the stock Android phone had burned through 12% of its battery life while on standby. The Android M powered handset had used just 4.5% of its juice during the same amount of time. After 48 hours, the Nexus 5 with Android 5.1.1 inside had devoured 24% of its battery power compared to the 9% used on the Android M powered version of the phone.

The Nexus 5 with Android 5.1.1 installed was projected to provide 200 hours of standby time. With Android M, the standby time was projected to jump to 533 hours. That means that Android M provided the phone with 2.7 times the standby time available with Android 5.1.1. This is an exciting bit of technology that Android users should be greatly looking forward to.
