Microsoft Lumia 435 Dual SIM



Taking the competition to next level, Microsoft recently launched the ultra-affordable Windows Phone running devices in India. The devices are aimed to provide great user experience at an affordable price. This is the review of the cheapest Windows Phone by Microsoft, the Lumia 435.



                                                  

Tech Specs:
The Lumia 435 is a Dual-SIM smartphone. It supports both 2G and 3G modes and also has Wi-Fi connectivity. The device has a 4 inch capacitive touchscreen which supports 16M colors. The resolution of the display is 480 x 800 pixels with pixel density of 233 ppi. It also supports multi-touch. The phone comes with 8 GB of internal memory which can be expanded up to 128 GB with the help of microSD card.
The device bundles a 2 MP primary camera and a VGA secondary camera. Both the cameras can record videos at 480p resolution. For connectivity, it has microUSB 2.0 and Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP.
The Lumia 435 run on the latest built of Windows Phone 8.1, the Lumia Denim and it will be upgraded to Windows 10.

The device has a power house of 1560 mAh.



                         
Review:
The phone looks similar to the Nokia X family. Its design and built quality is quite impressive. The touchscreen of this affordable smartphone is good with a decent display (at least at this price point). It is also worth noting that phone has an internal memory of 8 GB, which is a plus point.
The only thing which is not so good in this device is the camera performance. The phone has a primary camera of just 2 MP which is below average. The quality of camera is not at all good and I will not talk about the performance of the secondary camera. Though, it has the Lumia Camera app which tries to improve the performance.
The best part of the Lumia 435 is the hardware. The phone comes with a decent processor with a combination of 1 GB RAM. I think most of Windows Phone users; especially those with 512 MB RAM devices faces the issue of limited apps, features and games. The phone runs on the latest version of Windows Phone 8.1 and it will be upgraded to Windows 10. My gaming experience was also sort of average.






Verdict:
The Lumia 435 is a good smartphone. Its design, built quality, software and hardware are quite impressive at the given price point. The only reason which makes this device a little dull is the camera. I personally feel that there is no need to launch this Lumia with the Lumia 532. The Lumia 532 seems much better than this device and that could affect the sales of this smartphone. It has got a much better processor and camera with a little difference in price.
I will rate it 3 out of 5, not because it’s a bad phone but just because the Lumia 532 is much better option at the price point of 6000-7000 bucks (approx. $100-$115).

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...
