Review:

Nokia Lumia 630 is an amazing device. It's design and built quality are just so premium. Now talking about the Windows Phone 8.1 OS, then I promise you dear reader that I will post a detailed review of Windows Phone 8.1 once the official rollout begins. But it's a great OS with numerous amount of major and minor changes. The display of this smartphone is good as it uses the ClearBlack display technology and the IPS panel acts like a cherry on top. The resolution is although a bit low.

Nokia is also known for the image quality of their smartphones and camera quality of this phone is also above. Although, you cannot even think of low light photography because the flash is missing. The device has a 1.2 GHz Quad-core processor and I would definitely say that it deserves a thumbs up. The overall performance is smooth and totally lag free. Although, many of you will complain about 512 MB RAM but Windows Phone 8.1 is a very lite OS and it is optimized to work on low end devices with very limited amount of RAM. My gaming experience was also awesome but here you will feel the need of 1 GB RAM as many games will not work on this device. The battery backup is also average.


                                

 Verdict:

I really like the built quality and design of this device. Nokia is now giving a tough competition to Moto G with their Windows Phone. Nokia Lumia 630 is readily available in stores and shopping websites but Moto G is exclusively available on flipkart.com (in India). Between Moto G and Nokia Lumia 630, I will choose the Nokia Lumia 630 being a Windows Phone and Nokia fan. I will rate it 4 out of 5.

Everything you need to know: Mass Gainers

“Dude, you are way too skinny! You need a Mass Gainer to grow”. If you are a guy who is trying to put on some muscle mass, but unable to achieve your desired goals, then you must have got this advice from your coach or some other gym dude. But, before you take their advice, just ask yourself, “Do I really need a Mass Gainer?” The answer to this may vary from person to person and there is nothing wrong in buying a Mass Gainer if you are working really hard and consuming the right amount of macros but unable to reach your goals (which is very unlikely!). What are Mass Gainers? Mass Gainers are nothing but “high-calorie protein drinks” in disguise. A typical Mass Gainer is a blend of Protein (usually Whey Protein, Casein Protein, Egg Albumen, Soy Protein, Sweet Dairy Whey and Plant Protein), Maltodextrin (starch compound), Dextrose (glucose), Creatine Monohydrate and Anabolic Substances (in some Mass Gainers). The manufacturing and marketing companies claim that their rec...
