Moto G (3rd Gen)


This company becomes the subject of discussion whenever they launch their products in the market. Their products are so popular that they easily grab the attention of the customers. I’m talking about the Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. or popularly known as Motorola, which is now owned by Lenovo Group Ltd. 

The Motorola’s G-series smartphones are undoubtedly the best selling phones in the history of Motorola, Inc. The company recently added a new member to the G-family. This is the review of the Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen).

Review:

The 3rd Gen Moto G is one of the most anticipated device of 2015. Lets start with the looks and design of the smartphone. The built-quality of this device is quite impressive but I am not really impressed with its looks and design. Not only this, the display of this device is still has an HD resolution. I expected at least Full HD resolution for the display. Still, the display is not that bad and produces amazing colours. The sunlight readability is also above average. 

Talking about the cameras, then I must say that both of them are quite brilliant. The company worked hard to provide you with the best user experience. Unlike any previous versions, the primary camera can record videos in Full HD resolution. The colour-balancing Dual tone LED flash improves it further. The selfie cam is also one of its major attraction. It clicks beautiful selfies and further can be used for video-calling.

The device may not be that good-looking, but if you are one of those people for whom performance matters, then this phone will surely not gonna disappoint you. Packed with a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor and 2 GB RAM, I don’t think I need to explain more. There are simply no lags in the performance and it handles multi-tasks quite smoothly. My gaming experience was also fine, all credit goes to the Adreno 306 GPU. The battery back-up is another USP of this smartphone. 

 
Verdict:

All-in-all, I am impressed with the device except for its design and display’s resolution. There are no reason to not choose this device over its competitors. All the necessary things like LTE, water resistance, amazing cameras, brilliant performance and battery backup are available in this device. 

If you don’t care about the looks, then this device is surely meant for you. Just one piece of advice, don’t go for 8 GB/ 1GB variant rather choose 16 GB/ 2 GB one.


I will rate this device 4.5 out of 5 because I also prefer performance over looks.

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...
