Coolpad Note 5

Coolpad Note 5 comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box, with Coolpad's Cool UI skin layer running on top. There's no app drawer and all apps are laid out on multiple homescreens. However, Cool UI has quite a few software-based tweaks that enhance user experience. For example, quick settings and notification shade are not integrated

The phone feels slightly bulky in the hand and the 173 gram weight is very noticeable. You can chalk this up to the all–metal body and the large battery. On the upside, it has a bright, 5.5-inch full HD display that is easy to read under direct sunlight. However, like most budget phones, this one too has thick black bezels. These are not shown in the rendered images on the company’s website. The fingerprint on the back is responsive and it recognized & unlocked the screen 9 out of 10 times. 

The camera is the area where the phone takes a few missteps. The phone has a 13MP rear camera with f2.2 aperture. However, the quality is average — daylight images are good, images shot indoors lack details. Low light results are worse as there is lots of noise. The front camera fares slightly better: it captures wide-angle images with good details and the front flash aids in low light. As a brand, Coolpad has seen great success in the sub Rs 10,000 segment by offering excellent value — first with the Coolpad Note 3 and then with the Coolpad Mega 2.5D. The Note 5 does continue with this approach. It offers great performance, fantastic battery life with a 5.5-inch full HD display and an all-metal body. It is still instant value for money. It’s biggest competitor is the Redmi Note 3 which offers better performance and more features at roughly the same price.

Windows 10 a preview

The end is in sight: Windows 10 will be released on July 29 as a free download for anyone running Windows 7 , Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 ; the free update will be available for a year. If you aren't eligible for the free upgrade (perhaps one of the many still running Windows XP) you can also pick up individual licenses. Windows 10 Home will set you back $119, and Windows 10 Pro will cost you $199. There isn't any word on international pricing, but those prices are identical to Windows 8 pricing, and convert to £78 / AU$156 and £131 / AU$262 for the Home and Pro versions, respectively. The Windows 10 Technical Preview has come a long way over the last nine or so months , but there's still plenty left to iron out before the next generation of Windows is humming along on our PCs, tablets and phones. To that end, the latest build of Windows 10 (Build 10130) is all about bug fixes and cosmetic tweaks. Get a closer look at the Windows 10 Technical Preview (pictures) The Micr...

LG G6

One of the few design decisions that remained was the dual camera on the back, only this time it sits flush with the phone's body. Below that is the signature sleep/wake button that doubles as a fingerprint sensor. It's been years since LG made this a mainstay of its high-end phones, and I appreciate the placement. The sensor was always within reach of my index fingers, but it occasionally needed a few clicks to unlock. Meanwhile, you'll find the volume keys on the left side, directly opposite the microSIM and microSD card slot (which takes up to 2TB of additional storage). You'll probably need the latter too. In the US, the G6 comes with 32GB of storage, only 19GB of which are available once you crack open the box. There's a USB-C port on the bottom, a headphone jack up top and that's really it. Well, except for the G6's claim to fame: the display. Since the screen is the single biggest change to LG's G Series formula, let's dig a little d...
