Performance is also similar to other -fluid multitasking and no reported issue running HD videos or high processing games.

The speaker has a bit low audio power , but sounds cool with ear plugs. 

Now, lets talk about camera, it's camera seems to perform well with ample light ,but when zoomed in,say about 100% quality gets worse.Video recording quality is some what average.

Overall the LAVA Iris 504Q is  good advanced phone with a rare features and with a mid ranged price.

SONY XPERIA Z TABLET

     SONY XPERIA Z TABLET

After the Xperia Z smartphone ,which has managed to create  more than a buzz in the market ,the brand is taking over the tablets with XPERIA Z TABLET tablet.

It’s sleek and slim design gives it an extremely good look.The  Z tablet is extremely thin and SONY claims it to be the world's thinnest tablet.Its half the size and weight as compared with ipad.

FEATURES

The XPERIA Z TABLET runs on a snapdragon S4 quad-core 1.5 GHz  processor and the user seems much like Android.The multimedia processing quite supportive on the Z,specially the video quality which  gives a delightful movie experience in it.

The camera -8.1 MP rear and 2.2 MP front is quite an average number as compaired to ipads. The battery life does manage  to surprise you ,as for a tablet ,the Z is far better thn the rest.

The one and only bad point of XPERIA Z is the display quality ,  its pixel density  is 224 ppi,which is low as compared to 264 ppi of  

ipad.But the 1920 × 1200 pixel resolution increases it's plus point.

It has successfully passed the waterproof test.   

              

MY ADVISE

If you want to buy a desent and good looking tablet,XPERIA Z TABLET  is a good choice.But combine the price,looks and performence,its' not the worth the hype.The XPERIA Z TABLET  IS a good device but certainly not a great one keeping in mind the ipad's price,performance and looks.

MICROMAX CANVAS 3D

       

        MICROMAX CANVAS 3D

3D –addicts ,here is a treat for you,the brand new MICROMAX CANVAS 3D just at ₹9,999.

You must be thinking ,should i put on those crippy 3D glass to have my 3D experience.But the ans is no,you have to just watch it from a particular angle.It looks similar to the LG OPTIMUS 3D.

FEATURES:

At 12.7 cm ,the screen looks bigger then the LG and HTC 3D products.The clarity in 3D is much more better.The device is powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor,followed by 512 MB RAM and has a most wanted 4 GB on board memory and of course a micro SD card slot.The Android 4.1.2 Jelly Beam makes access more simpler and faster.

The canvas 3D contains a five mega pixel auto-focus camera,with dual flash camera,at 0.3 mega pixel,is just good for video calls.

The audio  volume is low through speaker,but it's decent through headphones.

The battery backup is excellent.

It's a dual SIM phone and you can take advantage of lower call rates on one and low browsing charges on the others  .

MY OPINION:

The MICROMAX   is a good phone.I don't think any other company in near future would provide 3D enabled phone at such a good price. For game and 3D lover ,it can be lucky draw for them ,as now adays there alots of mind blowing 3D games a available on the Internet world.So,download ,play and enjoy.
