Micromax Canvas Infinity

The budget smartphone with bezel-less display.

  • It is the most striking Micromax device we have seen for a while. No, we are not going down the path of some of our colleagues who have tried to draw visual parallels with the Samsung Galaxy S8 or the LG G6 here, but there is no doubting that in its price segment – the sub-Rs 10,000 one – the Micromax Canvas Infinity’s 18:9 aspect ratio display makes it one of a kind. It also makes it amazingly compact for a device sporting a 5.7-inch display. It is not only smaller than the super large iPhone 7 Plus but also the recently released OnePlus 5, both of which sport smaller 5.5-inch displays. The shaved off bezels from the left and right side of the display are the main reason for this. We do not have the official figures for the dimensions of the device, but take it from us: it is very compact if a little on the heavy side.
  • The 5.7-inch display has a 1440 x 720 resolution, keeping it below the full HD mark, which might disappoint some. It is certainly bright enough, but the sub-300 pixel density might detract from the viewing experience for the nitpickers. Providing horsepower to the phone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor, aided by 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, which can be expanded using that microSD card slot (no hybrid SIM slots here) – again, decent rather than exceptional. The camera on the rear is a 13.0-megapixel one with f/2.0 aperture, while the more talked-about selfie snapper is a 16.0-megapixel affair, with a front facing flash to boot. The phone runs Android 7.1.2 and barring a few apps, Micromax (Narendra Modi and Asphalt Nitro among them) has kept the UI relatively clean. There is no app drawer – all the apps are on the home screen. The phone comes with 4G connectivity, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS, and is powered by a 2900 mAh battery, which might seem a little on the lower side when you consider that other devices in the price band have larger batteries.

For Rs 9,999, that is not a killer spec sheet. But then Micromax Canvas Infinity is not fighting on specs. It is fighting on that display which marks it out as different in a very competitive segment.

Install Windows 10 IoT on a Raspberry Pi

Ever wanted to install windows on your Raspberry pi? Well you can now. This version on windows won't boot up like the traditional windows you use but but be a single window version. You won't be able to run all the apps you usually run but would be able to do some basic operations. This process of installing Windows 10 on a Raspberry Pi involves downloading the installer, drivers and the OS itself from a variety of unofficial sources. We can’t vouch for these sites or the files as being legitimate or safe. But we can say that we didn’t experience any security issues ourselves. Installing it will probably take you at least an hour, and you may experience some Blue screens along the way. But when you’re done, you will be able to see what Windows 10 on Raspberry Pi is like, and, if you have an Ethernet connection, you can even surf the web on it. Hardware required: Raspberry Pi 3, 3B or 3B+  High-speed, microSD card  of at least 16GB. A good  2.5-amp
