Samsung Galaxy S6 review: the iPhone 6s killer

The controversial new Samsung Galaxy S6 sheds its plastic construction, removable battery, expandable storage and environmental protection for slicker looks.

Samsung Galaxy S6: Learning a new design language

No two ways about it, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a stunner, framed in cool-to-the-touch aluminium, and with a coloured Gorilla Glass 4 rear and front, it's a beautiful phone to behold. It's clad in Gorilla Glass 4 front and back, and the way it gleams and glistens in the light is quite entrancing. The S6 is available in "White Pearl", "Gold Platinum" and "Blue Topaz", but we think it looks best in "Black Sapphire", which you see pictured here.
As you'd expect from a modern smartphone, the S6 is extremely slim (6.8mm) and light (138g), and it feels surprisingly compact in the hand, especially considering there's a 5.1in display up front.

In our view, the S6 delivers the perfect compromise between screen size and one-handed comfort – in fact, it's slightly smaller overall than the Samsung Galaxy S5 – and it combines that with impressive build quality and attention to detail. Even the volume, power and home buttons feel like they've been upgraded: everything about this phone feels perfectly on point.

There are some downsides to the design, however. First, in order to produce such a gorgeous work of art, the removable rear panel, replaceable battery and microSD slot for storage expansion have been consigned to the dustbin.

Second, neither the S6 nor the S6 Edge has an IP rating, so they're not not water and dust resistant like last year's Samsung Galaxy S5 was.

And third, the glass rear of the phones picks up fingerprints like they're going out of fashion. It's easy to clean, but if you own one of these phones, you're going to be spending a lot of your time wiping it on your jeans or the hem of your T-shirt to keep it spotless.

Samsung Galaxy S6: Specifications

The fact that Samsung has gone with its in-house Exynos processor for all global versions of the Galaxy S6 signals the company's growing confidence in its ability to compete with top-tier technology firms such as Qualcomm. The Exynos 7420 SoC has four 1.5GHz ARM Cortex A53 cores and four 2.1GHz Cortex A57 cores, allowing the phone to strike a balance between performance and power consumption for all kinds of tasks. There's 3GB of RAM, which is standard for top-end phones now.

With no microSD card slot, Samsung has made the Galaxy S6 available in multiple storage configurations. The strategy and pricing follow Apple's precedents, but the base model comes with 32GB rather than 16GB, which seems like a direct shot across the bow.

Like last year's Galaxy S5, the physical Home button has an integrated fingerprint sensor, but now you don't have to swipe your finger across it - a simple touch will do. The heart rate sensor on the rear is also still around. We found the one on the Galaxy S5 gimmicky and ultimately forgettable. This one is positioned to one side of the camera hump, making less likely that regular usage will become a habit.

REVIEW CHOETECH qi wireless charging quick circle case

This case goes for about on Amazon. I also got the same brand circle qi wireless charger to use with it.

PROS
Snap on and go, no qi sticker install
Wireless charging!
Replacement back (not an addon) with protection all around.
Added very minimal bulk overall.
Quick circle apps
Premium feel

CONS
Auto brightness dims screen so you cannot see who's calling
Slow charge (as with all wireless charging)

Been using it for a few weeks and overall really like it because of the pros listed above. Has convenience written all over it! Wouldn't have any cons if I didn't use auto brightness but my lighting situation changes often and need it. Haven't dropped it but it feels sturdy and premium. But quality is really good. Charges the same time as my other qi sticker and generic qi charger base, which is 20% to 100%in less than 3.5 hours.

The charger base itself is cool, has a blue light which dims in the dark so there's no annoying light or led on while charging in my nightstand.

Definitely worth the price for functionality and durability.

[REVIEW] | MPOW 3-in-1 CAMERA Lenses | Wide | Fish | 20x Macro

With the S6 Camera being one of the best, I thought I'd share these lenses to maybe expand your video and photography game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiQj5CWl2Qg

At first I was skeptical about these add on lenses for smartphones, because I purchased different ones prior. Prior to these I had a 3 in 1 lens that was one clip on lens that you screw on different lenses. These New version MPOW clip lenses are much better. It's more convenient to have 3 separate lenses. It's much easier and faster to attach to your phone camera. These lenses feel very premium and durable.
If your looking to step up your photography on your smartphone, then these will not disappoint. The WIDE lens looks sharp, but I do feel it should be a little bit wider. The FISH EYED lens is great, I love the effect is has on the photos. And the MACRO lens is just amazing! Once it's focused on an area, it looks super crispy and professional.
You can really expand the photography of your smartphone's capabilities with these lens.
I've attached photos of the product and sample photos.

Cheap price of $89.99! Cubot P11 review

Cubot recently has released a new smartphone, CUBOT P11, which is an entry level range smartphone but has numerous high end features. Thanks for living in the good times of technology, the phones like Cubot P11 packed with advanced features are available at a cheap price, 1949deal offers this phone for .99.

unbox Cubot P11
The device now has silver, golden and black options and the color of the outer box varies with these colors. The white Cubot 11 comes in a light brown golden box having a wooden contour. When we open the box, we find the phone covered in an opaque plastic cover (not sealed). Over the phone screen, a plastic transparent sticker is attached. It can be easily removed by pulling the white sticker attached at the end.

The phone itself looks glamorous on the outside. The smartphone maker definitely has made the phone look better than other phones in the same price range. On the back, we have camera sensor on the top and ROHS and Quality CE above ‘CUBOT’ logo at the bottom. Also official Cubot site address is printed at the bottom most. The edges of the back cover are well rounded to be comfortably held by hands. When the back cover is opened we see a black battery on which CUBOT logo is printed. In addition we see 2 micro SIM card slots.

The front panel of Cubot P11 uses bezel less design. The protective glass covers most of the front look. The phone is enclosed in a metal frame body that is slightly wider than the screen and has four soft edges. The metal frame is coated with bright silver color which gives it an elegant and unique look.

The Cubot P11 has a 5 inch display using OGS screen technology with a HD resolution of 720*1280 pixels. The screen supports wide viewing angles, high brightness, natural colors and good contrast. Until now we saw a lot of positives, here comes a slight downside that is not so powerful processor. Well, for 90$ you can’t expect this phone to have a powerful processor. It comes with a MediaTek MT680 quad-core processor with a clock speed of 1.3Ghz and runs on Mali-400MP GPU. The device also runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop OS and a battery of 2000mAh, supporting high end features such as OTG and HotKnot.

MobilePal Gen-2 Wireless Charging Pad [Detailed Review]

Before I start my review, I just want to mention that I didn't pay for this unit. I've been offerred this as a review unit and I'm going to put my honest review here, highlighting the good and the bad. Since we're clear with that lets start.

No, I'm not new to PowerBanks, I've had several other powerbanks before and I currently own 4 different ones. However, what made this one catch my eye was its QI Wireless charging capability backed by a 10,000 mAh battery. Since I bought a Galaxy S6 Edge+ with built in wireless charging, I had to get my hands on this one. And just so that we are on same page, I got the MobilePal Gen-2 10000mAh Qi Wireless Power Bank, not the Gen-1 (don't know what's new though).

Like most of my reviews, I'll split this up in following four categories and go through each of them, one at a time:-

- Boxing & Contents
- Build Quality & Design
- Functionality & Performance
- Pros & Cons

Boxing & Contents

Not much to say here, it comes sealed up in a regular cardboard box printed with all of it's specifications on it. The box highlights quite a few features of this unit which you may or may not want to read.[Check the uploaded images].





On opening, you can atleast expect the following items inside:-
- MobilePal QI Wireless Powerbank
- 1 x 2-in-1 Charging cable (Micro USB & MFi Certified Apple Lightning port)
- 1 Anti-Slip Mat
- User Manual




One thing to notice here is, only 1 USB cable (although 2-in-1) is provided in box even though it has 2 USB Outputs. That's pretty much it in this one. Heading to the next section.

Build Quality & Design

As soon as you pick this unit up, you would notice its weight. At 263 grams (9.3 oz), this unit is a bit bulkier but it feels very solid and nicely made. The top and bottom surfaces have this nice stiched faux leather texture (made of plastic) with metallic side frame. It'got 5 LED indicators on top surface, a power button on left edge and 2 USB output / 1 micro USB input on top edge.





The 2-in-1 USB Cable provided is of descent quality and doesn't feel cheap like many USB cables that come with other power banks. The inclusion of Apple Lighning port is very handy and one of the big plus about this unit.





Since wireless charging works on induction, plastic would be the most appropriate choice to be used for the surface. And this makes the surface of this unit a bit slippery too even with the textured surface. Specially if you have a phone with a glass back, you might want to use the in-box anti-slip mat provided. I didn't have this problem since I use a well textured SGP case which sits very nicely on top of it, although I probably wouldn't have used the anti-slip mat either way, the powerbank wouldn't look that good if I did. Overall, I personally have no complains with its aesthetics and this product looks and feels really good on the desk. Accepted that it weights quite a bit, but given the 10,000 mAh battery, it's not much different from any other 10,000 mAh battery available in the market.


Functionality & Performance

Perhaps, this is the most important section for most of us, so I've taken my time to review the unit (2 weeks) before I started jotting down this review. The
MobilePal Gen-2 10000mAh Qi Wireless Power Bank boasts about its 2 x USB output powered at 5V/2.1A and 5V/1A Wireless Charging capability. Specification also
states that both the output ports carry Smart Charging which means, the powerbank would detect the connected device and the output power would be set
according to the maximum input the connected device can handle. To test these specifications, I've used the following phones:-
- iPhone 6 Plus
- Galaxy S6 Edge+
- Nexus 4
- Asus Zenwatch (To Verify Smart Charging)

The unit has 5 LEDs, 4 of which are blue and denotes 25% of the battery status each. So, if you have 2 LEDs on, you can safely assume that the battery pack
is still holding around 50% of the total capacity. 1 Red LED denotes if the wireless charging mode is ON or OFF.




You would need to know only the following instructions to be able to use the power bank:-

1. To check the power left, press the power button once and Blue LEDs will glow (If wireless mode is on, RED will glow too)
2. To start the cable charging, just connect the device and press the power button once. While charging, the LEDs will remain turned ON
3. The Power Bank supports two charging modes, [USB] and [USB + Wireless]. To switch between the modes, keep the power button pressed for 3 seconds while the charging unit is turned ON.
4. Connect any micro USB Cable in the micro USB input on top edge to charge this Power Bank with a wall adapter (highly recommended) or from your PC/Notebook.
5. Connect any micro USB / Lightning Port Cable to its regular USB output on top edge to charge your USB devices


Following the instructions manual, first thing that I did was charge this unit to full before it's first use. It took almost 3-4 hours to charge it from 2 LED glowing (around 50%) to full using a 5V/2A adapter. Ideally speaking a 10,000 mAh should take 5 hours from 0% - 100% charging using a 2A adapter, but we don't live in an ideal world so its acceptable to me. Mostly because I just leave it on at night and disconnect it in the morning at its full power.

Next, I connected my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ via USB and used a USB amp meter to check the current drawn. Even though it says that the output is 5V/2.1A, my s6 Edge+ could only draw upto 5V/1.76A and this is when the power bank is full charged. Now, S6 Edge+ is powered by a 3000 mAh battery and when I connected my phone, it had 20% battery left. So basically, the challenge for it was to charge 80% of 3000 mAh which is about 2400 mAh. It took almost 90 minutes to complete that challenge which is approximately what it should be taking at the rate of 5V/1.76A (ideally it should have been 82 minutes). I won't say I'm highly dissapointed here since 90 minutes ain't that bad for a power bank to bring a phablet from 20% - 100%.





The real dissapointment came when I connected my iPhone 6 Plus to the other USB Port simultanously. The USB Amp meter reading of the current drawn by S6 Edge+ (on other port) dropped to 5V/0.93A. I tried disconnecting the iPhone and the current reading went upto 5V/1.76A again. Trying vice versa, when I checked the current drawn by an iPhone, while S6 Edge+ is still connected to other port, the reading was 4.88V/0.94A and once I disconnected the S6 Edge+, the reading went upto 5.12V/0.99A. Similarly, when I connected a Nexus 4 along with the S6 Edge+, the Edge+ tends to draw power at 4.88V/1.22A. Unless my review unit is defective, it looks like charging multiple devices at once is affecting the output of each port. It is very much likely that the user will use 2-ports quite often to charge multiple devices simultanously and that is why, this was a big bummer. And frankly, this is the biggest negative factor that I'll consider while rating the product. I definitely saw fluctuations in other multi-port power banks on parallel charging, but not upto this extent. One good thing among all this is, even after 2 consecutive charging from 20% - 100%, the third charging rate wasn't any different from the first two charges which gives a vague idea that the power output isn't falling off all that much with decrease in charge which I've seen in my past Power Banks.








Coming to the unique feature of this unit, the wireless charging works pretty well. The charging is definitely slower than USB Charging but it took almost same time as any non-oem wireless charging pad. I got from 22% - 100% in about 3 hours charge time which roughly comes to around 0.78A charging rate while being left with 2 Blue LEDs glowing. I'm still happy with it as long as I can keep it on my desk and I can just place my phone on top of it to start the charging, all wirefree. I was able to charge my phone twice easily while on wireless mode although I didn't try the third time (1 LED was blinking after 2 charges). If you're worried about the case, it is important to mention that wireless charging worked fine with my SGP Neo Hybrid Case and another cheaper TPU Case.




To verify the Smart Charge feature of the unit, I connected my Asus ZenWatch and the current drawn was just 5V/0.20A which is exactly what it draws with its OEM charger. So, the Smart Charge isn't just a marketing gimmick afterall and this Power Bank is safe with any of the USB chargeable devices.




The Power Bank also features auto-off system. So if no device is detected to be charging within 100 seconds of turning it, the Power Bank shuts itself off which is a nice feature to have.

About the battery life, I was able to charge my device S6 Edge+ twice from 20% - 100% and once from 19% - 91%. Simple maths would tell that the efficiency of the battery is 6960 mAh, which is approximately 70% of the battery size. Please note that these readings were taken while charging only 1 device through USB Cable and Wireless Charging mode was disabled. The efficiency would have probably drop further if I had been charging wirelessly.

One of the coolest feature of this Power Bank is, it can be used with wires or wirelessly even if while the Power Bank itself is charging. In other words, it can replace a desktop charger (with 2 USB Outputs) and a Wireless Charging Pad simultanously and, whenever required, it can just be popped out and taken along for on-the-go charging.

While reviewing the unit, I also went through some of the negative reviews on Amazon so as to focus my review on those particular points too, but I didn't find most of them with my unit. Like the Power Bank didn't make any high pitched noise, the wireless charging feature didn't turn on/off frequently or the battery didn't die early as mentioned by any user. So, I'm assuming they either received the defective units or these were the problems with MobilePal Gen-1 QI Power Bank but definitely not with my unit.

Pros & Cons

Pros:-
- Wireless Charging
- Good Build Quality & aesthetics
- Big Battery Size
- Can be used as desktop charger
- Can be used as QI Pad
- 3 simultanous charging output
- Smart Charging
- 2-in-1 USB Cable

Cons:-
- Power fluctuation while parallel charging
- Lower output than mentioned
- 1 in-box USB Cable

Overall, if you're looking for a high capacity Power Bank with Wireless Charging capability, currently this is the best product you can get. Backed by 1 Year warranty and MobilePal Quality assurance, you really have nothing much to worry about.

[Quick Review] Tronsmart 3-Port Wall Charger with QC 2.0

It's been some time since I've reviewed another Tronsmart product. I got this Tronsmart 3-Port Wall Charger as a review unit almost 3 weeks back and I didn't get enough time to write the review since then. On the brighter side, I'm using this for 3 weeks now, so I can probably be more precise while writing it now. So here it goes...

I'll be splitting it up in following 4 categories and talk about each of them one by one:-
- Packaging & Content
- Build Quality & Design
- Functionality
- Pros & Cons


Packaging & Content

Tronsmart has never dissapointed me in this category, so I do not have much to say here. It comes in one of those recyclable brown box with a printed cover wrapped around it.





On opening the box, you can expect the following items:-
- 3-port USB Wall Charger (TS-WC3PC)
- 1 x 6 ft USB Cable (20 AWG)
- User Manual
- VoltIQ Information Card





One thing to notice here is, even though it has 3-ports, it comes with only 1 USB Cable. So, if you're buying it, make sure you have that many spare cables to use it with.


Build Quality & Design

If you're one of those who can't withstand a product with bad finishing, you and I are no different. Luckily Tronsmart understands us and give its products the best quality in terms of material used and overall surface finishing. Here's a look:-





The quality is absolutely fantastic. What makes it even better is its folding type plug which also makes it easy to carry around. It has a green power LED. From the size perspective, it's very small, not OEM Charger small though, but tiny enough to hold it in your palm. Here's a comparison between a Samsung OEM Charger and the Tronsmart 3-Port Wall Charger:-





The in-box USB Cable is a 20 AWG (for high current flow), very durable 6 ft long cable which should do a descent job if the device is to be used while charging.





Functionality

The unit has 3 USB outputs out of which, only one port supports quick charge output at 12V/1.5A while the other two ports are powered at 5V/2.4A each with VoltIQ Technology.





While reviewing the unit, I connected 3 of my mobile phones simultanously to check it's output. First I connected the USB Amp meter to the Quick Charge output which is connected to my Galaxy S6 Edge+. The total power drawn was around 14.76W which is definitely an output we can expect from a fast charger.





Next, I connected the USB Amp meter to a regular port which is powering my Nexus 4. One of the reasons for using a Nexus 4 here is to validate how much current is drawn since Nexus 4 is pretty old device and as far as I've seen, it draws only upto 5V/1A even from its OEM Charger. Like we can see below, the total power drawn is just 5.05W which is almost equivalent to 5V/1A and this ensures me that the VoltIQ is not just a marketing gimmick. I also turned on the display of Galay S6 Edge+ to validate that it is utilizing the fast charging even with all 3 devices connected simultanously (See the Fast Charing in notification ?).





Now, everything was good till this moment except when I went pull back the charger from the socket after an hour, it was HOT. Not burning hot, but you'll definitely feel it when you touch it. Not that it affected any of my devices (none of the 3 devices heated up during charging). It's the same common problem with all the small multi-port quick charge adapters available (3rd party) on Amazon. I did contact Tronsmart regarding the same and they told me that since the adapter is so small, heat dissipation is slow and they assured me that their chargers have passed CE ,ROHS,FCC, PSE etc certifications of conformity and the temperature exhibited is within the safety standard range.


Pros & Cons

Pros:-
- 2 x High Power Output + 1 x Quick Charge Output
- Superb build quality
- Small size with retractable Plugs
- Long and durable USB Cable

Cons:-
- Heats up quickly
- Only 1 in-box USB Cable

Review of Artech 21 [Vivid Arkansas Series] Ultra Slim Dual Layers Case for Note 5

I purchased this case to see if I liked a slim, low profile case instead of the larger bulkier cases that I normally used for my premium devices. My first thoughts were that this is too thin to be great benefit, but after using and handling it for a while I found that I really liked the fit and feel of it.

The silicone liner fit well and made a uniform appearance while maintaining a snug grip on the phone. The texture of the exterior was comfortable and felt grippy in my hand while still sliding into and out of my pants pocket and cargo pockets easily. The access holes for the headphone and microUSB are stretchy to a degree, so bigger cable grips can be better accommodated. The case is thin enough that wireless charging works readily, tested with 2 off brand charging pads and with the new round Samsung branded pad.

Not tested: I didn't drop my phone to test its impact protection, but I wouldn't do that even with the most expensive of cases... No need to tempt fate.

All in all this is a great little case for much less than what the typical cases go for.

Review of 6,250mAh Battery smartphone -*Doogee Homtom HT6

While Chinese companies like Xiaomi, Oppo, Elephone, and OnePlus are making waves at the high-end of the Android smartphone market, some of the lesser known Chinese brands are tackling the low to medium end, including Doogee.

Doogee recently has released two smartphones, Doogee Homtom HT 5 and Doogee Homtom HT 6, one has MTK6735P Qual Core processor clocked at 1.0GHz, 5.0 Inch HD Screen with 4G Phone Wood Shell/Apricot Wood Shell, 1GB RAM and 16GB ROM, 8.0MP (SW 13.0MP) Main Camera and 2.0MP (SW 5.0MP) Front Camera, 4250mAh Battery; and another one is our protagonist of today, -Doogee Homtom HT 6, which is a budget device and costs 9.99 with running on MediaTek’s 64-Bit processor.


The HT6 is dual-SIM, one regular and one micro, and has all the standard connectivity options you would expect on budget devices. There is Wi-Fi ( 802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth, 2G GSM and 3G. The HT6 supports 3G on 900 and 2100MHz. The latter of the two frequencies is the most common 3G frequency and should work in most places around the world, however many carriers also use a secondary 3G frequency range. In Asia and South America this is often 850MHz, but in Europe it tends to be 900MHz. Unfortunately the 3G won’t work in the USA, instead, the standard GSM calls should work. You need to check with your carrier to ensure compatibility or if you trust Wikipedia then the List of UMTS networks page could have the information you need.

Doogee Homtom HT6 Specs
Display: 5.5 inch IPS OGS 720p HD (1280 x 720)
Processor: 1-GHz MTK6735 Quad Core 64-bit
Memory: 2 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, up to 32GB
Camera: 8 Megapixel Rear Camera (13MP Interpolation) & 2 Megapixel Front-Facing Camera (5MP Interpolation)
Battery: 6,520 mAh
Connectivity: GPS, microUSB 2.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth
Networks: 3G/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
Software: Android 5.1 Lollipop with Google Play
Dimensions: 15.38 x 7.7 x 0.99 cm
Weight: 170 grams
Colors: Black, Silver

Design
The front of the phone is black with a bar at the bottom for the soft keys and room at the top for the front facing camera and the earpiece speaker grill. The top and the bottom edges continue in black while the sides are a metal-grey. The micro USB port and the headphone jack are on the top, on the left side is the power button and on the right are the volume controls. The bottom edge only has a small hole for the microphone.

The back cover is a dimpled plastic (which comes in a variety of colors). Although it is a shiny plastic, the coloring and the dimples make it look at lot more up market, also it doesn’t easily slip from the hand. The back cover starts to curve towards the edges but the middle part is flat. The right-angled corners combined with the devices straight lines give the phone a tech look and feel, it shouts functional. But overall the design works because it looks like a “smart” device.

Performance
The MediaTek MT6735 is one of MediaTek’s popular 64-bit quad-core processors. It is clocked at 1-GHz and includes the ARM Mali-T720 GPU running at 500 MHz. The Doogee HT6 scores 17064 on AnTuTu, just slightly slower than a Samsung Galaxy S3. Not bad for a budget device. My experience while using the device reflected the benchmark scores, it was fast, fluid and never suffered any noticeable lags during normal usage.

Battery
At 6,520-mAh it could be thought of as being one of the largest, especially since it needs to power the 5.5 inch 720p HD display. 3D gaming is unfortunately the weakest aspect of the batteries performance. Running a test with Epic Citadel shows that the phone can really only handle about 2 hours of intensive 3D gaming. The battery also gets quite warm during 3D gameplay, so much so that the phone actually displayed a warning message about the battery heat!

Thankfully the situation isn’t so bad for other types of usage. You can watch a movie, stored on the phone, for around four hours. The phone can stream YouTube videos for around three hours. You will be able to listen to locally stored MP3 files for around 48 hours on one charge and the device has a 3G talk time of around 12 hours, the 2G talk time is likely to be longer.

Camera
The rear-camera has an 8MP sensor and uses software interpolation to generate 13MP pictures. The pictures are quite remarkable for the price of this device.

Software
The phone runs Android 5.9.1 Lollipop. That version of Android doesn’t exist in either an official or unofficial capacity, so probably this is a custom build for these devices and to differentiate it from other builds the software engineers at Doogee (or maybe at MediaTek) bumped the minor version number up to 9. In terms of functionality the phone is certainly Android 5.1 and I didn’t find any compatibility issues during testing.

The firmware also includes some extra gesture functionality, called “Smart somatosensory” you can configure the gestures for the gallery, to move between pictures; for the music player, to move between songs; for the camera, to take pictures; for the launcher, to move to the next page; and for the unlock screen. The unlock screen gesture seemed to work reasonably well, but the other gestures were basically useless.

Google Play is pre-installed on the device and there is full access to all of Google’s apps including Gmail, YouTube and Google Keyboard etc.

Pricing and conclusion
Competition at the low-end of the smartphone market is certainly heating-up. Nokia’s range of Android-based phones start at 0, and the newly announced Moto E costs just 0. At 0, the Doogee Homtom HT6 is more expensive than both Nokia’s and Motorola’s offering, but it is cheaper than the Moto G. With a 5.5 inch 720p HD display and a quad-core processor the HT6 is superior (in terms of specs) to the Nokia X or the Moto E, and the bigger display gives it an advantage over the Moto G. However the large battery could be a deciding factor for some users.
