So today I am gonna pick the Top 5 best Earphones available in India without breaking the bank. All these Earphoness are great for specific persons some might work to one while others might not like the sound of those. So keeping that in mind I will give my verdict on each of the earphones. Though the order in which I am placing them in this list is according to my personal choice.


5) JBL T100A Wired Headphones: 

Its the only earphone by JBL in this list. The earphone sounds crisp and not overly powerful thus giving a soothing sound. If you are a person who listens to slow music a lot and do require a in-line mic for talking then this is your bet.

4) Sennheiser CX 180 Street II In-ear-canalphone:

This was my personal earphone for over an year. They are very comfortable and you can keep wearing them from hours without any glitch in your ears. The sound of this one is very well balanced thus can be used by anyone. But the wires of  these earphones are very thin and get tangled very easily so if you are a kind of rough user then this one is not for you. And also this one doesnt hav any in-line microphone.

3)Audio Technica ATH-CLR100 WH In-the-ear Headphone:

This is my personal earphone now. And i have been using this earphone for over 6 months now. This have a distinct sound quality with a little heavy bass. Anyone fond of pop rock culture will love the sound coming out of this baby. The wires are also okay in quality. They do get tangled but its easy to untangle them. These also dont have a in-line mic.

1) Cowon EM1 Wired Headset:

Coming from a not so well known brand Cowon, this one packs a punch. These are headsets that leaves nothing to be desired for an above average music listener. Its not as much good as Sennheiser CX213 in terms of sound quality but then there are other factors to be considered. This one comes with a in-line microphone and single button interface to take or end calls. Thats not all flat style anti-tangle good quality wires feel strong in hands and are ready for some rough treatment. Thats the reason its at top leaving CX213 below.

                               Bass:         4.5/5

Top 5 Wallpaper Apps For Android Early 2016

We all love to personalize our beloved phone with themes widgets and wallpapers to suit our personality. Android on the other hand gives the freedom to the user to customize every aspect of its interface. Though live wallpapers are great to have but still many people prefer the static wallpapers as live ones tend to drain the battery. So lets see which static wallpaper apps made it to my list of Top 5 Wallpaper apps of 2016. I have personally used and tested each of these wallpaper apps. And the list is strictly according to my own personal preference.


5) Murum-Wallpaper Pack:

The list begins with Murum Wallpaper Pack. The app is a cloud based collection of material design wallpaper and each of the wallpaper has been made by the developers themselves. The app doesnt source its wallpapers from any other website. The app is completely free in the play store with in app purchases of some premium patterns. Nevertheless even the free ones are pretty good. The app has a lot of potential but falls short of its elder brother which will come later in this list.

 

                   



4) Wallmax:      

                           
Comes in at No.4 is Wallmax. Its a traditional cloud based wallpaper app unlike a few others in this list. Its source of wallpapers is the very popular alpha.wallheaven.cc. Boasting of millions of high quality wallpapers the app is a one stop for every kind of user with every different kind of tastes possible. The interface of the app is great and smooth nice animations all around making the app a joy to browse by. Browsing is not only sorted into categories but also with tags that makes it all the more interesting. With cloud save feature integrating google+ makes sure you have your downloaded wallpapers even when you change or reset your phone. Its completely free in Google Play Store with no in app purchases.

 



3) Tapet™ - Infinite Wallpapers:

One of the most innovative wallpapers app to be ever realeased for any smartphone.This is the elder brother of the first app i featured on this list. Yes this app truly takes the wallpaper apps to a different dimension. The app is built with random algorithms that create a new wallpaper for you every time you swipe your finger up without the need of any internet connection. The patterns colours are also customizable to cater to your taste. The app is free on play store with in app purchases giving out tons of premium patterns which are both gorgeous and sophisticated. It also comes with the feature of automatically changing the wallpaper for you to your liking at your specifed desired interval. Thats why its a must for simple wallpaper lovers. So i recommend you to try the app and pay for the premium patterns as the developer deserves it for his fine work. This could have been the top on my list but the wallpapers are too minimalistic to my liking so i am giving it the third place. If you like material minimalistic wallpapers then look no further.

 




2) Backdrops - Wallpapers:

Now comes the 2nd best wallpaper app of 2016. And it is Backdrops. The app is blessed with thousands of wallpapers created by the developers themselves and thats what makes this app special. Every single wallpaper is exclusive to the app and they are soothing in appearance. The app itself is very slick with nice animations and effects all around. There is also an social tab which gives you access to content shared by Backdrops users all around the world. The app is free in Google play store with in app purchases giving additional wallpapers. Even the free ones are pretty good. So go check them out.

 



1) Wallrox Wallpapers:

Here is the best wallpaper app of early 2016 according to me. Its called Wallrox, relatively not so popular as some of the others on this list but still I loved the collection of wallpapers it offers. Its very simple not too many options neither its innovative or special in anyway. But the wallpapers are pure and beyond my imaginations. Material designed ui with lots of elements tabs categories etc. Simply download a wallpaper and apply. Its simple easy and beautiful. Thats all. Its free with no in app purchases go give it a shot.

 

Know your Droid under the skin.

 

The smartphones are rising at great pace globally. So there is fierce competition among the manufacturers to provide the best thing at the best price. Though most of the buyers are out in the market that dont know what they are paying for since there are so many options available to them. And they end up paying for something they don't need at all or sometimes they need more. So I am here to make you understand that what you actually need in your next smartphone. I will mainly focus on the hardware of the smartphones so that you have a better understanding of the hardware of your next device.
Starting off if you find any term in this ariticle unknown then please make sure you know what it is before continuing with the post. I am writing this article completely based on my knowledge so there might be small mistakes please let me know if something is wrong in the comment section below.

Manufacturers of Smartphones.
The major smartphone giants around the world now are:
1)Samsung
2)LG
3)Sony
4)Apple
5)The chinese manufacturers(Xiaomi,Gionee,etc)
6)The just drowning or just rising manufacturers(Nokia,Motorola resp.)
These companies use different kinds of market policies for different kinds of people, targeting all kinds of consumers,providing different kinds of user experiences with different kinds of UI and varing feedbacks, as well as different kinds of aesthetic makeups.
But beneath these aesthetic goodies lies the main power house the internal hardware(chipset, processors etc.)

Manufacturers of  Internal Hardware:
1)Qualcomm
2)Mediatech
3)Broadcomm
4)Intel
7)Nvidia
6)Home-Baked Hardwares
Now I assume you know what the above companies manufacture.
They are the chipset manufactureres. On the chipset there is processor,GPU,ports and all other components of your device.

Processors:
You might have come across names of many mobile processors such as:
1) Snapdragon Series (Qualcomm)

2) Brcm chipsets(Broadcomm)
3) Helio (Mediatech)
4 )Intel Atom(Intel)
5) Nvidia Tegra(Nvidia)
6 )Exonos 5/6/7(Home-Baked by Samsung)
7) Huawei also produces its own chips.

Processor Architecture:
1)Krait(Qualcomm)
2)Cortex(Arm)

GPU's:
1)Adreno Series(Qualcomm)

2)PowerVR Series (Mediatech)
3)Videocore Series (Broadcomm)

Architecture Types:
1)32 bits
2)64 bits
Now that you have heard about all the terms above so let me explain them to you with some examples.


Explanation:

Let us start from the basics.

• Processors are the heart of a smartphone. Among the many Processor manufacturers mentioned above the most popular is the Qualcomm Snapdragon Series. This is due to there vast lineup of processors and opensource nature of the company. By opensource we mean the tools codes files used to develop a paricular driver for a particular model of a processor of the company is available to all. That means anybody can use these and can cater a new driver for the chip altogether. Just like the Android OS is opensource.
• The other chip manufacturers are closed source. That is they do not reveal any information about their codes and tools to general public. Thus limits the 3rd party developers to cater any new drivers and this in turn restricts the possiblities of having a custom rom on those devices such as Cyanogen Mod.
• In smartphone chips there is no seperate GPU. The GPU is integrated in the processor itself. Due to lack of space in the motherboard. Such as Adreno 405 in the heart of Snapdragon 615 by Qualcomm.

Thats the basics lets dig deep now.

• The processors are build by using different architectures. These architectures are researched and developed by only one company in this world- ARM Technologies. The latest cortex A50 series is the most powerful of the lot. With a octacore CPU (2 quad core CPUs merged).
• These Architectures in turn are built by whats called a nano meter process. The most powerful cores till date ARM Cortex A57 is build by 21NM process. The lower the nano meter process goes the more processing units can be fit in a smaller place thus making the CPU faster.
• This technology however has a big disadvantage. The limit of this technology is 8NM process. After which the Processing unis will become so small that they will not be able to be seen even with the most powerful electron microscopes present at the moment. So further development of technology then will require a scientific breakthrough.
• Now lets discuss about bits of a architecture. That is either 32 bits or 64 bits. This sets the limit of the maximum data that can be transferred trough the chip in a moment. Now you can be mislead by people that then 64 bits will always be faster. But its not so in reality. As for the chip to function at full 64 bits throttle it requires other system resources in ample as well such as RAM. In order for 64 bit chip to work at its full it needs at least 4 gigs of RAM on board. However even with 2 gigs a 64 bit chip will work faster than a same 32 bit chip somewhat but if its 1 gig or so there wont be any difference.And also the system must be 64 bit enabled else it will be the same. Android is 64 bit enabled from Android Lollipop v5.0.2 and later before that it was 32 bits.

So this is all about processors to know. Specifically mobile processors. The computer processors though are similar and dissimilar to mobile processors in many ways. We will talk about that another day.

Hope you liked my first post. Please comment your thoughts on the post and correct me at any point if you think i am wrong at some points.

Thank you , Have a great day folks. ^-^
