And I was so confused that I could not decide which mobile phone to buy. <\/p>\n<p>I have been a Blackberry user and occasionally used IPhone. My attempt to use IPhone did not work out. I had Apple 3GS and IOS version 4. While, It was fun to use it, I did not feel very comfortable using it. I felt using a toy more than a serious equipment, mobile phone, a high end, modern communication device.<\/p>\n<p>SO, this time I decided to buy an Android Phone and keep it continue with it. I almost became mobile retarded as I was not using either Android or IOS which I found, everybody else were using. People used to talk about &#8216;Apps&#8217; while I used to look blank!<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nWhile I was inclined to buy some Samsung Sartphones like Galaxy S2, S3 or S4, I finally decided to buy a Micromax Canvas HD A116. Here are few reasons for that:-<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Galaxy S3 was costing approximately Rs. 25000 while Micromax Canvas HD A116 cost me almost half the price at Rs. 13000\/-<br \/>\nSince, I do not play games on mobile and I do not listen to music much, I think investing Rs. 25000\/- may not be an wise decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Brand<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Samsung surely has bigger brand value and I think it has better quality than Micromax, but I am not very particualr about brands. I just needed an latest Android OS, a fast processor and memory. Micromax A116 fits the bill. <\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Upgrade and Experiments<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nI hope to do lot of experimentation with my phone. I may not want to do many experiments with Rs. 25000, but wont mind the same  with a Rs. 13000 phones. So, I figured, I better buy Micromax A116.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Camera and screen size<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>8MP phone was my requirement and Canvas HD A116 does have it! I am not very happy with its performance in bad light, but I have a DSLR for taking photograph! I just needed a camera with geo-tagging facility to shoot some landscape. I found the camera in Canvas HD is good enough! <\/p>\n<p>I also wanted a bigger screen to read documents. I think 5&#8243; is good enough for my requirements. Samsung Galaxy S2 had smaller screen. <\/p>\n<p>I am using for last few days now. I am learning Android, I have not found any reason to complaint so far. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For last few weeks, I read many reviews about smart phones, Android, IOS from Apple, Windows 8 etc. that I was almost tempted to book a domain and start blogging&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pegu.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pegu.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pegu.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pegu.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pegu.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pegu.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pegu.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pegu.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pegu.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
