#CantWait4Zenfone2

Zenfone has been one of the topmost Smartphone which is available in the market for below Rs. 20,000. Many ‘Zenfones’ like Zenfone 5 and 6 have completely been on the top of the budget category Smartphones and now ASUS has launched it’s new Zenfone 2. It was announced in January, 2015 but will be available in April. Here are the 5 most important things in the new Asus Zenfone 2 which I think will redefine your smartphone experience.

1. 4 GB RAM

ASUS Zenfone 2 is Incredibly created. It is World’s first Smartphone which is available with a 4 GB of RAM chipset. Which means it will give you an incredible new way of Multitasking in an Android Smartphone. Although it is also available in 2 GB of RAM chipset. But I would prefer a 4 GB because guess what? Who does not likes better upgraded RAMs? right?

2. The Camera 

Along with having a great RAM, ASUS Zenfone 2 comes with a 13 Mega Pixel Primary Camera with 4128 x 3096 pixels, Autofocus and a Dual LED Flash. It also comes with Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, panorama and HDR. It too has a front camera with 5 Mega Pixels. And about the video recording, it is1080p@30fps.

3. The Screen Size and Resolution

One of the main things in a Smartphone is it’s screen. It has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which is definitely high quality. The ASUS Zenfone comes with a 5.5 inch display which has a pixel density of 1920 x 1080 Pixels along with 403 (pixels per inch) pixel density. And it too supports Multitouch.

4. The Platform

The ASUS Zenfone 2 runs on Android v5.0 Lollipop. It runs on Intel Atom Z3580 for the 4 GB RAM model and Intel Atom Z3560 for the 2 GB RAM model. The Zenfone 2 comes with a Quad-core 2.3 GHz for the 4 GB RAM model and Quad-core 1.8 GHz for the 2 GB RAM model. And for the GPU, it comes with a PowerVR G6430.

5. The Sound

In the ASUS Zenfone 2, I am looking forward to the sound quality of this Smartphone. It has a loudspeaker at the bottom of the back side of it which is really loud, I mean very loud. It has a 3.5mm audio jack at the top of the this Smartphone. The alert supports Vibration, MP3 and WAV ringtones.

Well, these are top 5 features which I’m looking forward for the upcoming Asus Zenfone 2. Also, much to an extend I’m really looking forward for its battery! Asus claims to charge 60% of the battery within the time span of about 39 minutes, which is really impressive & quite good when compared to other phones in the segment. Thus, these are core features which I’m really looking in the Zenfone thus its a worth a shot from my side.

My #LookUp Story

I could remember the day when I got a major fracture in my hand. I was not able to even move my hand in the air for some time. And those days, the Inter-School Drawing Championship was going on. In the first level of this competition was submitting a home made drawing in the school. But I was not able to draw even a line in that drawing sheet, even more I was not able to hold the pencil properly in that fracture. All I could do was use my left hand.

I wanted to participate in that contest but I was not able to do that, so I requested my brother to make a painting on behalf on me and send it to the School with all my information written on it like my name, class and everything else. My brother was too a good artist. He had already been trained by one of the famous artist in the local area. He sent it too the school and our school teachers accepted it to go further and participate in the contest.

I was selected with 9 other students for this competition. But at the 2nd level of the competition, I had to go on my own and draw a painting on the spot with 75 more competitors which came from 20 other schools. I was not totally recovered from the injury, so I decided to withdraw my name from the competition. But a mother has a solution to every problem in the child. My mother told me many different ways and solutions to this problem which helped me to re-think about the problems which arose within me in this competition.

I started to take the support of my left hand and collaborate with both the hands, and started drawing again. I firstly concentrated on the things I was weak in. A bit of pain, and a bit of hard work helped me to come close to the day of the competition. And finally the day arrived. I was all set for the competition. My mother said just before the starting of the competition that ‘Child, even if you don’t win, I was full Confidence that you will surely give your best!’ which boosted me up for this competition. I drew a portrait, a portrait of my mother. My friends near me appreciated me.

After all this I submitted my Painting and everyone was waiting for the results crucially. And guess what, I bagged the third position! I saw that proud feeling in my mothers face which was more that the reward for me!

Stay Tuned!

#Together with Family

Skating is a bit difficult, but everything becomes easier when you are #Together. Many people find Skating difficult, some find it interesting and some find it just a time pass activity but for me it’s not just a competition it’s finding your way to the top. I could remember a day when I was sitting alone, depressed, embarrassed and very sad. I lost that trophy for the second time consecutively. Everything was going bad, some children from the other school were making fun of me alike some coaches from the Institute too.

I went to my home immediately, and my mother asking me the reason why I’m crying. But I couldn’t tell her the reason why I was crying, I was so embarrassed! The next day I went to my school where some of my classmates started making fun of me, started calling me a loser which did embarrass me a lot. That day I simply went to my family, my mother, father, and my brother too, I told them everything. I even told them how this embarrassed me, they gave me a simple solution. With my family, I started going to a new sports complex where I joined my Cousin who was a Professional skater. My family encouraged me, joined every morning with me. After two and a half months of consecutive hard work and practice, the day arrived of the State Cup Championship.

This race consisted of 15 top most selected students, which overall had 25 laps with eight curves. My family, friends, coach and everyone who was close to me came #Together to encourage me to win this Championship. There also my classmates, those students from the other school and some coaches came and made fun of me and promised that I will definitely complete a hat trick of losing this championship, but I didn’t listen to them this time and just concentrated on my race and this time I had Faith within me. The race begin, those students still made those noises and I was at the last, soon my family, friends, and coach started cheering me. At the end of 15 laps, I was in the 6th rank and by the end of 20, I was at an amazing of 2nd position. Just at the second last lap I overtook the 1st opponent and stole the first position. And I just bagged the first Position in this race of 15! My Friends, family and my coach were just amazed. This was my memorable day when my friends and family motivated me for winning this amazing trophy along with a medal and a certificate and also my school was also ranked 4th in sports and extra curriculum activities in the state.

Gaming A New Life

Well, life is all about ups and downs. It can be sometimes rewarding you with something which you have never wished at all, and sometimes it does not provide you whatever always desired. Well, yes! That is life! 

That is what I am about to disclose in my blog post. Belonging to a middle-class family where education is the root cause to either reward you or punish you. I choose to break away from the stereotype and followed my extinct to start a new life all together. I chose to become a gaming blogger.

It was a time to upgrade my passion to the next level. Despite no backing from anyone, I choose to start a new life in playing games and reviewing them for the same. Remember the time when we used to play Mario for hours, days & nights! It was just a getaway from all the real-world towards the virtual world and admit it. We all really loved it to the core. Thus, I choose to stand out from the crowd, unlike other who have forgotten the value of playing games, I choose to stand with this virtual world of gaming.

Why a Gamer?

For me its not just an escape from a life full of stress & deadlines. It’s my passion! While in the real world I am tend to study for fixed hours, eat in fixed hours, sleep in fixed hours. There’s no such thing while playing games on my PC or Mac. In the gaming world, I chose to be myself. I choose to select my Avatar. I choose to select the car I want to drive. I choose to be either a king or a soldier who goes undercover to protect the nation. This is what keeps me moving towards trying out new games and testing them. To take the best out of them and thus, providing a review on my blog.

A Dream Chase:

Well eventually its kind of a dream for me because, it’s more about pursuing to what I love the most in my life which is gaming. There are very much close similarity with gaming and your life, and those are that you never know which turn will it come next while speeding at 250 kms per hour, which contradicts the fact that you never know what’s the next thing or road is waiting for your life. While in gaming, you never know the opposite team can score goals in quick succession in the 90th minute extra time and you may loose. Same remains the case with that of life, you never know when are you winning and close to something and boom! something may hit you and all your efforts may go in vain. 

Thus, I #StartANewLife by gaming reviews and had my getaway! What’s yours?

Madden NFL 15 Review

Gameplay & Design :

EA Sports Madden NFL 2015 has an awesome gameplay when its been played on the all new-gen hardware. If you look closely all the player jerseys crease & shrink very realistically, and the game’s lighting looks really cool too. The depth of graphics are so well that you can actually see the sunshine on the helmets of the players when you choose to play during day.

Graphics : 

Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians looks pretty much alike and rest top managers from across the league as well. Special mentions to New York Jets coach Rex Ryan who looks strikingly like his real-life counterpart as well. This shows the detailing of EA which it has done, with quite a lot of efforts to bring this all show together.

Audio : 

On the audio commentary, Nantz and Simms are sounding pretty good and gives the user an ultimate gameplay experience. The commentary has increasingly improved from that of previous version EA NFL 2014.

Final Verdict : 

EA NFL comes with a good gameplay experience to the gamers, looking out all the aspects of the game. Despite a good show put up by the EA, team lacks few football gameplay options. The display and detailing are, however, one of the best when compared to the previous versions of EA NFL series.

My verdict gives this game a whooping 8 stars out of 10. Leaving you out with teaser. It’s a must buy game for your gaming collection.
