Exploring Rangeelo Rajasthan with Google Pixel 2

by VishuSaumya March 26, 2018March 30, 2018

Exploring Rangeelo Rajasthan with Google Pixel 2

Rajasthan is a land of colors. From the attire to the cities, the land is a colorful palate where each color has a significant meaning. On our trip to Rajasthan with Palace on Wheels, the journey through the different cities of the state with Incredible India was vibrant and joyful. While we discovered the different shades of the cities during this trip, our Google Pixel 2 could not rest at all and captured every portrait and landscape with full enthusiasm. Exploring Rangeelo Rajasthan with Google Pixel 2 is a photo journey through the eyes of the super gadget, Pixel 2.

People of Rajasthan

The people of any state reflect the colors, language, mood, and vibrancy of that place. While we were capturing the portraits, we found them full of expressions. Happy faces, straight faces, blank faces, intense faces, quizzed faces and a lot more. Here are some of them!
Rajasthan

Met this amazing artist at Jaisalmer and enjoyed his solo performance to the fullest. The way he played this oud and sang songs was a total respite to the heat in the city.

You may see wrinkles, I saw experience. The wrinkled faces above may seem oblivious to us capturing them, however, I loved the way all three of them were soaking in the sunshine on a winter morning.

The tech-savvy, and the happy one! The tech-savvy lady and the happy one seemed to like us clicking their pics.

Some smiles are the purest. Loved the smile of the lady above whom we met at the Chittorgarh Fort. The entire family was excited and happy about getting themselves clicked by us.

Eyes tell it all! Look at the intensity of those eyes, so deep it can actually make you understand the pain and despair one experiences in his lifetime.

Rajasthan and camels compliment each other perfectly. We were welcomed by camels at the Jaisalmer Railway Station. The rider here seems happy to see us while the camel seems to be camera shy.

Architecture in Rajasthan

Rajasthan has architecture is every bit. The royal forts and palaces along with the lakes and sand-dunes make it a photographer’s dream arena. Here we have captured some of the most beautiful architectures of this state with our Google Pixel 2.

Rajasthan

Jaipur is famous for Hawa Mahal. Located in the center of the city, this tall and artistic piece of architecture is definitely on the list for every tourist visiting the Pink City.

The City Palace in Udaipur is one beautiful place to visit. The palace has small palaces on the premises and the grandeur of this palace right from its entrance is click-worthy.

That’s the aerial view of Udaipur from the City Palace in Udaipur. The colorful houses in the city make it a picture perfect view from the top of this palace.

Lake Pichola in Udaipur can also be used to capture the city of Udaipur beautifully apart from enjoying the boat ride. The view of the city palace from Lake Pichola should not be missed.

Getting Touristy in Rajasthan

Rajasthan can always be a great canvas for candid photography. With so many beautiful locations to shoot at, it can easily capture the essence of the moment from a trip with your folks or a pre-wedding photo shoot to a full-fledged wedding destination. We could not miss getting ourselves captured too in the different cities we visited.

Rajasthan

The corridors of City Palace in Udaipur has witnessed so many stories since it’s inception. The beauty and elegance of this corridor compel you to get yourself clicked here as it can easily turn into your next wall decor!

Rajasthan

Can’t decide what to admire more, the turban or the door!

Rajasthan

The architecture of Patwon ki Haveli in Jaisalmer makes you wonder about the skilled workmen of those times when there was absolute zero machinery. Each brick in this monument is a marvel of craftsmanship which stands tall even today!

Rajasthan

Loved the blue houses and the blue lanes in Jodhpur. The golden city does need these blue houses to keep it cool during summers.

Rajasthan

This isn’t just a colorful bicycle but a tea stall too! Met this man outside the Jantar Mantar in Jaipur where he sells one of the most tasteful masala tea you’ll ever have. You shouldn’t afford to miss this one on your next visit to Jaipur

So these were some of our colorful captures from our very own Rangeelo Rajasthan which was captured amazingly by our Google Pixel 2. Do let us know if you enjoyed this photo journey through Rajasthan in our comments section below.

The smartphone market is very competitive today. With so many different companies launching a new phone every single day, it’s becoming difficult for the consumers equally to choose the best phone.

When Google launched the Pixel 2 in India last year, there was a lot of buzz around this phone if it can give better results than it’s predecessor.

Here is a detailed story on Google Pixel 2 – All things you need to know about this smartphone from Google.

Pixel 2- Made by Google

Google Pixel 2

Unboxing:
The Pixel 2 sits right inside the box as you open it. The just black color makes it all the more tempting as it shines inside the box. It comes in the standard box with the accessories that are worth noticing. The charger and the c-type USB cable are the same you as find them in almost all new phones. What’s worth noticing is the Type-C to Type-A Quick Switch Adapter and the type C to 3.5mm dongle which tells us that the Google Pixel lacks a 3.5mm jack. It was difficult for us to hold on and we soon jumped to powering on the device quickly.

Pixel 2 – Unboxing
PC: Google

Things to look forward to in Pixel 2:

We have been using the Pixel 2 for more than a month now and we have been quite impressed by its amazing features and superb display. Here are a few things that we enjoyed while using this amazing piece of technology:

1) The Display:
It comes with a 5 inch Full HD AMOLED display and produces really sharp display. The 440ppi density shows the color contrast perfectly and you can actually find the blacks to be black in this phone. The screen is easy to use even in broad sunlight without any reading issues.

2) The Camera:
It has the best camera we have ever used in a smartphone. Period! The 12.2MP camera with Dual-Pixel Autofocus and Dual LED Flash makes it a killer. We truly loved the portrait mode from the UI and enjoyed traveling with this to our Palace on Wheels journey. The camera can record 4K and slow-motion videos with superb speed and quality. The shutter speed of the camera is immensely quick to capture several photos in a row.

3) The Unlimited Storage:
Google now provides unlimited storage for all your Pixel 2 videos and photos in your Google account till January 2021. This means you don’t need to worry if you want to capture your entire trip to 4K. Just pull out your phone and start shooting, Google will take care of the rest.

4) The Battery:

The phone comes with a 2700mAh battery which may not seem enough but it actually lasts long. What amazes us more is the charging capabilities as the phone gets completely charged from zilch in a bit over 30 mins. The phone lasts for a good 13-15 hours on 4G with extensive usage including the recording and heavy usage of social media applications.

5) Overall Look and Feel:
Google Pixel 2 is lighter than most of its competitors. With a sleek rectangular design without rounded edges, holding this device in the hand feels good. The size of the phone and the premium glass finish on the top makes it your perfect partner during travel. We also liked the speakers of this phone as they are good for watching movies or listening to music when you don’t want to carry the USB-C to 3.5mm jack.

PC: Google

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Google Pixel 2:

1) Is it a dual sim?
No, it only supports 1 nano sim.

The phone comes with 4GB RAM and 64/128GB ROM. The storage capacity for photos and videos shot on Pixel 2 are practically unlimited until January 2021 through Google Photos.

Coming to the golden question, is this actually worth buying? If you consider our opinion, the answer is YES. The array of features and smart capabilities with a superb camera and unlimited storage is definitely worth going for. Given the price that it is available in India, this piece is worth every penny.

The Smartphone market is changing rapidly and with this the smartphone manufacturers need to be constantly evolving and updating themselves. Huawei came up with the latest variant from its smartphone manufacturing unit Honor, the Honor 8 Pro. As it succeeds its sibling the Honor 8, there are loads of features that have been enhanced to make the Honor 8 Pro as one of the best choices available today below the 30K range in the Indian market. During the shooting of our web-series, Lucknow Meri Nazar Se, we had Honor 8 Pro as one of the important gadgets in our kitty. We explored the phone thoroughly and here in this detailed review we shall let you know the pros and the cons along with why Honor 8 Pro can be taken as the “The Smart GameChanger from Huawei”.

The box – Honor 8 Pro

Honor 8 Pro + VR

Looks and Body:
The Honor 8 Pro is simple yet elegant in looks. With a 5.7 inches touchscreen display, the phone looks big but is easier to handle at the same time. This phone has an aluminium body with 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3 in the front. The front panel on the top holds the 8MP selfie camera along with a few sensors. The left side of the phone has two slots which hosts both either both Nano SIMs or one SIM and one SD Card. The right side of the body holds the volume rocker and the power button. The bottom part of the phone has a USB-C type connector, a 3.5mm audio jack, the loudspeaker and the primary microphone.

Be it a picture or a video, the original colors and sharpness of the object is displayed brilliantly in this smartphone. The automatic brightness adjustment helped us use the phone for hours at a stretch without any difficulties.

Battery:
This slim phone houses a 4000MAH non-removable battery. This is quite surprising for a slim phone like Honor 8 Pro to host a powerhouse of this magnitude. This phone runs beautifully throughout the day with tones of application switching. We had moderate to extreme usage of this phone which included the likes of social media applications, camera (for both pictures and videos), GPS and a few other games and this device never let us down on the battery performance. This phone easily runs for 12-15 hours on a complete charge with moderate usage.

Performance:
It uses the Kirin 960 processor powered by 1.8GHz Octa Core processor and 6GB of RAM. The phone has an inbuilt storage capacity of 128GB and can be expanded equally with a microSD card. We used the phone majorly for photography, especially food and landscapes, and shooting videos and were quite happy with its performance. There were no lagging issues while switching in between apps and the phone could easily hold a good amount of applications in the cache, making the switch smooth and fast. The phone comes with an android version 7.0 Nougat and the interface is customised EMUI ROM which is very pleasant.

Camera:
Now coming to the main feature of this phone when it comes to blogging. The Honor8 Pro hosts a 12MP dual camera with LED flash as the primary camera and an 8MP camera in the front for selfies. The phone’s camera is completely amazing when it comes to capturing both food and landscapes. We used the camera excessively and were quite impressed by the results. The different modes available for photography are Photo, HDR, Panorama, Beauty, and Light Painting. Here are a few sample shots from the phone with different modes.

5 reasons why we are in love with Honor 8 Pro!

Honor 8 Pro is a battery powerhouse, the phone easily runs for more than 14hours with tones of applications running.
It offers 128GB of internal storage, store tons of images so keep clicking 😉
The camera also has a Monochrome Mode which is excellent in shooting black and white stills.
The selfies taken are also quite clear making it a good companion for any solo wanderer.
Low Light Photography with the Honor 8 Pro is decent enough to capture the details in the darkness.

Overall Package:
This phone is a powerhouse of performance with tons of good features. The only thing that we faced an issue with was that the phone gets heated when the camera is used for a long duration. This shall be fixed in the future OS updates. Overall this phone is definitely worth the money spent when the market has the same feature phone available at a higher price range. The Honor 8 Pro is available in India via Amazon India at Rs. 29,999. Good job Huawei!

Asus Zenfone 3 – The smartest road trip companion

by VishuSaumya May 19, 2017May 19, 2017

Asus Zenfone 3 – The smartest road trip companion

Road trips have always been one of the most satisfying and exciting part of our journeys. During our childhood a road trip to our uncle’s place for the summer vacations used to be the high point of our schooling days. As we grew up, the meaning and destination changed for our road trips and so did our companions. While earlier we were accompanied by maps, travel-guides, audio cassettes and notebooks, today all we need is an excellent smart phone. So when Asus approached us to take the new Zenfone 3 along with us on our upcoming road trips to Bhutan and Nepal, we were really excited to explore our neighboring countries with it. Here are the reasons why we call the Asus Zenfone 3 – The smartest road trip companion!

Brilliant Looks:

The Asus Zenfone 3 is killer in looks. We got the shining white handset for the trip and were smiling as soon as we opened the box. The phone looks slim, has smooth edges and is a beauty when held in the hand. The 5.5 inches full HD IPS display of the phone coupled with the gorilla glass enhances the beauty of the phone. The phone has volume controls on the right with the power button on the right and a clean left profile. The menu buttons at the bottom are reversed with the back key on the left. The fingerprint reader on the rear is easily accessible with both hands and is between the rear camera and the Asus logo.

Works like a Charm:

The Asus Zenfone 3 is a powerhouse of performance and works almost without any lag. It houses a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor clocked at 2GHz. Powered by Android 6.0 (upgrade-able to 7.0) and ZenUI 3. 0 it runs on 4GB of memory and has a storage capacity of 64GB expandable upto 128GB with a MicroSD card. These specifications make sure that we never feel any issues while storing data, switching between apps, recording videos or even while playing heavy games. We used this phone extensively for shooting and social media postings during our road trip and were always delighted by the performance.

Shoots with Precision:

Both the cameras of the Asus Zenfone 3 are build to deliver quality pictures and videos. The rear camera is a 16MP with dual LED flash and clicks crisp pictures in broad daylight. The night photography on Asus Zenfone 3 is also up to the mark and works good with the dual LED flash. The front camera is 8MP and is quite impressive for clicking selfies and groupies both. What surprised us really was the video recording of the phone. High definition picture quality with amazing sound made the videos worth watching on a loop. Full marks to the phone for the camera quality.

Selfie from ASUS Zenfone 3

ASUS Zenfone 3

Lives long, really long:
The phone has a 3000mah non-removable battery which lasts easily throughout the day. As we were on a road trip, we needed a phone which can stay with us all the time and the Zenfone 3 really lived up to our expectations. Even after multiple sessions of photography, finding directions through map and GPS, social media updates and various switches between applications, the phone did not give up on us at any point of time. The icing on the cake was that the phone used to get charged quickly and would give a full charge from 15 percent battery in just an hour’s time.

Overall Package:
The Asus Zenfone 3 is an overall value for money phone. With a dual sim functionality supporting one nano and one micro slim slot, expansion through microSD card and a fingerprint sensor which works flawlessly, the lightweight phone is definitely worth every penny spent. The DTS sound output through the 3.5mm aux jack makes it a perfect companion for some thumping music on the road trips.

GoPro Hero5 Black – Unboxing and Review

by VishuSaumya March 17, 2017March 19, 2017

GoPro Hero5 Black – Unboxing and Review

Gadgets, gadgets and more gadgets! It’s the new mantra for us these days as we have been constantly adding the latest gadgets in the market to our kitty. After using the DSLR for a long time it was time to either upgrade the DSLR by adding few lenses or getting a new camera altogether. We chose to move to a new camera, the GoPro Hero5, because of the exciting features and the amazing quality it is offering. Launched in September last year, the GoPro Hero5 is considered to be one of the best action camera available in the market today. Here’s a quick guide to the GoPro Hero5 Black- Unboxing and Review.

GoPro Hero5 Black

Unboxing:

The GoPro Hero5 Black comes in a box which shows the camera above all. The lower part of the box houses the accessories supplied with it. What’s in the box is right here:

Unboxing GoPro Hero5 Black

Why GoPro Hero 5 Black?

In today’s world of high-end cameras especially the DSLRs, one would like to think before investing in a product like GoPro Hero 5. Here are a few key-points and reasons for owning it:

Crystal Clear Photos
Amazing 4K videos
Wide Angle Landscape Shots
Waterproof up-to 10m
Voice Commands
Portability and Durability
Total Value for Money

Wide Angle Shot – Rumi Darwaza

Camera’s Performance:

Switching to an action camera, the GoPro Hero5, from a DSLR was a very thought after decision and we are very happy with it. The camera has all the latest features including the Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity. An action camera that is completely waterproof upto 10m is a masterpiece that helps you expand your creative boundaries. The number of accessories that this camera supports makes it a perfect partner for all your adventure sports captures. Here are some important aspects on which the GoPro Hero5 Black was tested.

Photos:

Wide angle frame with 12MP camera ensures you get high quality pictures with all natural colors intact. The camera captures both JPEG and RAW images so that it can be easier to use with high end editing software. We recently used the GoPro Hero5 on our trip to Lucknow and were very happy with the results of the heritage photography. The images were sharp, clear and had the perfect balance when it came to capturing the natural beauty of that place.

Gopro Photography

Videos:

A camera supporting 4K video recording should never fail to impress and that’s exactly what happens when you use the GoPro Hero5. The videos recorded on this camera were nothing less than a masterpiece when it comes to picture clarity. The different modes of shooting the video along with image stabilization makes it a perfect travel partner. Sadly, the image stabilization doesn’t work on 4K recordings and only supports a maximum of 1080p resolution. It shoots the videos at 30 frames per second which captures even the smallest details with minimum loss. Here’s a 1080p resolution video shot on the GoPro Hero5 with image stabilization.

Voice Commands and Capture App:

The GoPro Hero5 comes with voice commands detection feature and can easily work in a hands free mode. The voice commands accepted on the GoPro Hero5 are highly accurate and we have not faced any issues till now related to accent. The camera is smart to understand all our needs and does the right thing at the right time by obeying our commands.

The camera has a 2 inches touchscreen which helps us access all the features and modes. The same features and apps can be accessed through the Capture App on our mobile phone. This app helps us to explore the different modes like the photo capture, video recording, time lapse etc. through our mobile phone. Thus, we can change the modes even while recording through this app without disrupting the flow.

Battery Life and Accessories:

The GoPro Hero5 Black comes with a a rechargeable lithium-ion battery of 1220 mAh and has an average strength of 3 hours on normal usage. However, if we are recording high end videos in 4K resolution continuously then it will give up in 1 to 1.5 hours. Thus, it is always recommended to carry an extra battery pack with the GoPro Hero 5 to make sure you never run out of charge.

The GoPro Hero5 comes with a bunch of accessories which helps to utilize this amazing device to it’s maximum potential. Right from the normal mounts to the selfie stick, the carrying case, the headgear, the shoulder gear and the backpack, all these make it the most powerful photographic gadget in the recent past.

GoPro Hero5 + Battery

We have been using the GoPro Hero5 Black for almost a month now and have been completely enthralled by it’s performance. The GoPro Hero5 Black deals India on the internet gives us numerous options of shopping it. You can also Shop for GoPro Hero5 Action Camera at Reliance Digital or you may look for GoPro Hero5 Black on Amazon.

GoPro Hero5 is considered to be one of the best action camera available in the market today. Do let us know how did you find the review of this GoPro Hero 5 Black in the comments section below.

Unboxing Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

Unboxing a gift always brings immense joy and pleasure especially when it’s something as special as the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge! We have been looking for options of a good phone with an amazing camera and after a bit of market research we zeroed onto the S7 Edge. This is the latest addition to the Galaxy family from Samsung and by far the best we have seen till date. The S7 Edge was launched in March this year and has been garnering rave reviews since then. For a person who has always been the fan of Samsung phones right from their Galaxy Note N7000 days, this was definitely an icing on the cake.

S7 Edge The S7 Edge comes in a well sealed Black Box with the S7 Edge written boldly on it at the bottom and 32GB written on the top right cover. The rear side of the box has the product specifications. When you open the box you find the gem resting inside and we must say that the first look of the phone was totally impressive.

The box also included the USB OTG Device, the Fast Adaptive Charger with the USB cable and a box containing the earphones.

The phone is quite light in weight than its earlier family members and looked quite sleek in the hands. The display of the phone is a bright 5.5 inches Super Amoled (always on) display. This phone came with a 32GB internal memory and is expandable up to 256GB. The phone runs on a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 processor and has a 12MP primary camera and a 5MP secondary camera.
