New Intex phone claiming to have video conferencing feature without 3g

I had just watched the advertisement of this phone on TV and it claims to provide live video chat feature without 3G.The model number is INTEX IN 4407N

After doing some more research both offline and online, i had found that they use 2G or present GPRS network for communication and this phone comes with a pre-loaded application which allows you to chat without 3G i.e with the help of 2G

You must  be thinking how 2G can support live video chat without 3g.Even i am astonished of this feature but definetly this will be not so efficient way to have video chat.

In actual demo we have noticed that video quality is not good at all and there’s a lot of connection breakage in between the call due to low bandwidth.

This phone comes with a price tag of INR 2850

SPECIFICATIONS:-

  1. Audio Player-Available
  2. Video Player-Available
  3. Video Recorder-Available
  4. FM Radio-Available
  5. Memory-Expandable up to 8GB
  6. Front Camera-VGA

  11. Languages-5 Language support(English,Hindi,Bangla,Arabic and French)
  12. Battery-2000 mAh(Claimed to have much longer talk time)
  13. DUAL SIM Option-Available

NOTE:Although it is decent phone at a quite decent price but this phone didn’t have capability to install various third party application,software’s and themes.

Should i buy Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab in India?

You must have seen that i haven’t included the option for Dell tablet steak which is just released in Indian market. It is a new device and it still need sometime to become completely stable.

As far as India is concerned these tablets till now is a big failure and main reason behind this is their price and the attitude of Indians towards Windows enabled gadgets! Yes you are thinking right i am referring to all those feature rich net books available today at much lower prices than these tablets.

As far as India is concerned Apple MAC operating system haven’t get good response. Main reason is  price and non availability of cool software’s.I also want to share one more point that you must have seen many celebrities taking side of Apple ant their favorite gadget being Apple MAC.The main reason behind this is that all these celebrities are too dumb to use Windows enabled devices.

Now to the point that in case i have to buy a tablet than which should i prefer?

  1. Screen Size:- Apple iPad comes with a screen size of 9.7 inch and Samsung Galaxy tab comes with 7 inch. Yes there is a bit of disappointment from Samsung in this field.
  2. Panel Technology:- So Apple iPad comes with a IPS LED panel and Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with a TFT LCD.Again Apple wins here with better screen quality and in today’s world LED is the boss according to a common men.
  3. Operating System:- Apple runs on IOS 4.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab runs on Android 2.2 Froyo (Upgradble to 3.0 but date is not mentioned) and here only time will tell who is the actual winner. Both these operating systems are fast and responsive and have large number of applications on their respective stores.
  4. Internal Storage:- Apple iPad comes with 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB memory options and Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with 16 GB and 32 GB memory options.OK no winner here but yea more memory options from Apple iPad.
  5. Expandable Storage:- Apple comes with no expandable option as usual but Galaxy comes with expandable memory option up to 32 GB.
  6. RAM:- Apple iPad comes with 256 MB memory options but Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with 512 MB.So Galaxy wins here.
  7. Multi Tasking:-This feature is not available with Apple iPad initially but in IOS 4 style background processing  is available and in Samsung Galaxy Tab it is available. So Galaxy wins here as they provide Galaxy with complete Multitasking options but on the other hand Apple iPad comes with so called IOS 4 style background processing.
  8. Multitouch:- This feature is available in both devices.
  9. Camera:- Apple hates camera so no camera options for iPad but Galaxy comes with a 3.1 megapixel camera on the rear side and 1.3 megapixel camera on the front side. You might be thinking that what’s the use of camera in a tablet.The answer to this entirely depends on individuals opinion.Some may find it useless and power wasting feature but some of you may find it useful as you can see the picture on a bigger screen at the spot without going and connecting your device to a computer or something like that.
  10. Phone:- Calling features are not available in Apple iPad but they are available in Samsung Galaxy Tablet.
  11. Bluetooth:- This is available in Apple iPad but the version is 2.1 + EDR and in Samsung Galaxy Tab the version is 3.
  12. GPS:- This is most useful feature of any tablet.This is available in Apple iPad’s 3G model only. GPS is also available in Galaxy without any restrictions.
  13. Battery Life:- Apple can play videos for 10 hours continuously but Galaxy can play it only for 7 hours approximately.
  14. Adobe Flash Support:- Apple hates flash because it consumes lot of battery power so iPad didn’t support Flash Content Flash is available in Samsung Galaxy Tab

No 3G service for some more time:Government

The Indian Government has asked telecom operators like reliance telecom and other to stop the launch of their 3G services. A security loop hole made Indian Government force to stop the launch of the 3G services by various telecom operators.

Companies are launching 3G services so as to grab the potential customers but this order will make them quite angry i guess.

What is the security loop hole?

This loop hole is mainly present in the 3G video calls. According to the Department of Telecommunications hey should be able to intercept the video calls in real time but during the demo of video calls by various companies during their 3G launch are in are unable to intercept after 8 minutes duration.

Most of the private telecom companies are quite angry because they are saying that no such security measures are when state telecom giants BSNL and MTNL had launched their service.
