Moto X Style promises Top of the line specs at an affordable price

As the days pass by, Competition for smartphones is gaining momentum with Moto X Style, adding more fuel to this already heated argument. As the saying goes- "There is always something to be thrilled for." This is what is happening with the current scenario. There is a huge flush of mobile devices into the market. With the manufacturers seeking to prove their mettle in bringing the best, and also keeping in mind the affordability, the competition has got stiffer and broader in terms of the device specifications.

On the eccentric of this topic, the customers are now open to better specifications at a mid-range budget. With the companies looking to make their mark in India, as we possess the much-needed user availability to widen the business, most smartphone manufacturers are now focussing on budget mobiles.

So, as we spoke earlier, Moto launched its new device Moto X Style to heat up this argument. Moto has seen phenomenal growth since the past year especially after its success of Moto G and Moto E models at budget prices. Now, this model, Moto X Style is one beast of a device portraying the flagship specifications at a mid-range price.

But the downside, is the usage of TFT-LCD instead of AMOLED or IPS displays. Anyways, it still will be able to produce a good image and video, though not deeper and blacker as compared to the AMOLED's.

As we dig deeper into the device, we find a 3000 mAh Non-removable battery. It will be good enough to provide you with a 7-8 hours quality usage, keeping in mind the QHD display. Under the hood, it packs a 1.8 GHz Snapdragon 808 hexacore CPU with a 3-GB RAM on board. The device comes with Android version 5.1.1.

You have two models to choose from depending on the storage space, a 16 GB and a 32 GB version, both expandable up to 128 GB by a Micro-SD card.

To top it off, you get a 21 MP primary camera and a 5 MP secondary camera for better images which is also capable of capturing 4K videos.

The phone is dual-sim, LTE enabled and weighs 179 grams which will be pretty good to hold. The device is water-resistant which effectively against accidental spills, splashes, and rain.

All you need to know about Android M

At the recent Google I/O 2015 in San Fransisco the newest android version was released currently named ANDROID M.

Android M is Google's way to go back to its routes.This version boasts of not only some new added features but also more stability.The features that the Android M is backed up with are those which we users always wanted in our phones. 

1-TOTAL control 

Something which we all longed for. This new feature lets us control to what part of our personal info does the app can access.We can choose to either deny or accept individual permissions.
let me break it down for you in simpler terms -
lets say you are using Hike or Whatsapp and you want to send a voice message to a contact then Whatsapp will ask permission to be able to use your microphone. If you wish to continue then you accept the permission or else you don't have to.
These permissions are asked not during the installation of the app but when the app is used for the first time.
And its an one-time app permission but if you want to change it later you can always go back to Settings.

2-Restore and Back up 

How many times have we gone back to those back up apps to back up our old phones ! Google makes it easier for you. In the later Android version combined along Google drive we can back up upto 25MB or less of app data.
These back up run once per day in the background when the device is in idle/charging mode.These are encrypted data and do not count under the Goggle drive storage.
And in-case you lose your phone you can automatically get all the app data back from the previous back up onto your new device.

3-App drawer

This App drawer has its own appeal. Gone are the vertical swiping days, Here comes the vertical list type app drawer. 

It comes with a white background with the most four recent apps on the top panel.

4-Android M ram manager  

The new android version gives us a clear insight of how much RAM is  used by any app.
This can be found in Settings>>Apps>>Options>>Advanced>>Memory.
It is difficult to find but once it is set , you can easily find the most recent apps in the background and their consumption and accordingly determine your usage.
It also gives a simple bar at the top of the page displaying the device's performance status.With proper settings you can effectively use your phone.

So when will Android M dazzle up your phone?

Like the Lolipop version , we can expect it to roll out to phones and tablets in the Autumn. Currently, developers can play around with early Android M builds on the Nexus 5 and 6 smartphones plus the Nexus 9 and Nexus Player set-top box.


Are you impressed by Android M features ? Let us know in the comments section below. :)

As its majorly used by people there are still some Android tricks that you might not know. So +AllTekkies.net is here at your service.
BUT before that we need an access to all those geeky extras and Kitkat was sneaky enough to hide the developer option from its "normal" users.After you unlock the developer option you are free to tinker as much as you want.

Simply go to Settings>>About Phone>>And tap the 'Build Number' section seven times.

We picked out some worth-knowing tricks of Kitkat version. here it goes : 

1. Switch to the ART runtime in Android 4.4 Kitkat

 By default the "Dalvik" option is present its a simple just in time compiler which makes the app available for you whenever it is required but the "ART' runtime is an ahead of time compiler which keeps the app ready for you in a ready to run stage before you even launch it.This compiler is more smoother in use and saves battery life.
The only problem is that it is not activated by default.To enable it you need to go to Developer options>>select runtime>>Use ART.
After this your phone will reboot and voila! a much faster usage.

2.Speed up animations by 4x

Animations add that extra oomph to your phone but did you know its a way to distract you while the app loads. But given to the increasing technology , phones are much faster and you don't have to slow down for the animations.

Go to developer menu and set 'Window animation scale' to your desired speed.

To make the transition effect faster you need to change the Animation scale to 0.5x , you also can switch OFF the animation.

3. Locate and Wipe your data.

Losing ones phone is like a terrible nightmare. And the fact that some unknown might get an access to your private stuff is a thing we don't want to even think about. Google helps us in protecting our data once is stolen by totally wiping it off. All you need to do is log in to your Google account and remotely locate your device and wipe the data.

But you need to enable this feature before losing your phone. Go to 'Google setting' application >> Android device manager>> Remotely Locate this device>>allow remote lock and factory reset.

4. To locate or not. 

Choose how and who gets access to your location. And you can save battery by using the Battery saver if you use apps that require your location but not the pin point location.

To change the location mode open the Settings menu>>Location>>location mode.

5. Immersive mode

 

Who doesn't love a full screen usage,  this features enables full screen and removes all the on-screen interface. Most of the apps support this immersive mode and if you want to get them back just swipe down from the top of display and the notification bar appears. Very useful when you are in a middle of an interesting game.

6. Limit your background apps 

Seeing a sudden drain in your battery?? 

you must check your Process stats to see whats causing this drain. 

In this, you can control what all apps can work in the background and limit their battery usage. 

Once you get all of this in check you can see a significant increase in your battery life.

If you are really into how things work in the backstage , the Process stats shows performance and usage of background , foreground and cached processes.
