Remember the time when Indian brand were ruling the android
smartphone market? That’s ancient history now. I remember being so
joyful and feeling out of the world when Micromax became No.1 brand of
India in October 2014. But that escalated rather quickly after Xiaomi
entered the smartphone market. I also believe that were was some
conspiracy done by Chinese companies to make Indian brands phones have
poor perfomance and stability issues as that is what i experience on my
Micromax Bharat 5 Pro android phone which i bought from flipkart. It was
probably the cheapest 3GB RAM phone at that time and with humongous
battery of 5000mah, i had really high expectations from it but i was
bitterly disappointed later on after i found out so many critical
issues.
First of all performance was really pathetic, even a basic game like Subway Surfers was running real slow.
After inserting my 32GB SD Card, every application would suddenly crash
and the phone was sometimes suggesting to format so i thought there must
be something wrong with it but the phone couldn’t even process that,
the technician from flipkart came and he also found in his test that his
memory was also having same trouble as mine in the phone, so we finally
reached a conclusion that something was seriously wrong with the phone
and decided to get a replacement, even with sealed pack i barely sold it
for half the price which was a real bummer but i was happy that I at
least got rid of it for something.
Nowadays, you will hardly see any major Indian tech Youtuber
reviewing smartphones or tablet from an Indian brand. The reason is
obvious, they are being paid by Chinese / American brands so Indian
Brands don’t get much marketing and hence really poor sales and this is
what has mainly caused their downfall. I am still amazed by the value a
phone from Karbonn provides which launched earlier this year in may and I
am looking to buy soon but due to financial condition i am obliged
although it’s very affordable especially considering it’s specs. It’s
named “Platinum P9 Pro” and it’s probably one of the most high-end
phone Karbonn made and only disappointing thing about is that screen is
not HD otherwise a very solid phone for the price, as i mentioned
earlier.

How Gaming on PCs is better than Consoles (XBOX Series S/X, PS5, Nintendo Switch etc.)
There has been alot of debate about various gaming platforms. For me personally, PC Gaming stands out in all of them. Today I'm going to share my opinion with which most people with even a hint of common sense would agree or appreciate. So here's my top 4 reason why PC Gaming is better than any of the current gen consoles such Xbox One X/S, PS4 Slim / Pro, Nintendo Switch or you could even say Soulja Boy Console 😜
Silly console gamers claims that their console is much cheaper than PCs while in long run it's much more expensive due to ridiculously overpriced games while for PCs there are always sales on games like every other month on PC and generally PCs games price drop significantly as they get older while console games for most part maintain their high price over the years. Even launch price of games is cheaper for PC.
I was a huge fan of Sony in past as they had free online for PS3, since that disappeared with the inauguration of PS4, we were left high and dry. Nothing could be more disappointing as they became rather greedy which this decision reflects.
As the games are getting more and more demanding there's a decent need of upgrading regularly if you want stable 60fps in high / ultra settings. Though you can get away with no upgrade down the line for few years if you are ready to compromise your experience set visual quality preset to low or medium which might still give you around stable 40-45fps. My story with 750 ti now something similar. I have to turn down recent AAA games such as Far Cry 5 or AC Odyssey to 1080p low to get smooth framerates.
No console currently in the market could provide you this amazing experience. PS4 Pro does 4k but with checkerboard (literally upscaling) that too won't give you more than 30fps without being in Native 4k. While Xbox One X does have true 4k, it doesn't have any major game it can play at full 60fps glory at that resolution.
1. Cheaper in Long Run

2. Free Online

3. Upgradeable Hardware

4. 4K 60FPS Glory
