Finally after a Long time Bangalore could witness first indiblogger meet of 2015 that was Asus indiblogger meet.It was very exiting to witness most of new bloggers at scene or can say first timer at indiblogger event.One new thing i could witness at even was "show your ID card and enter inside". This was the first time i have seen this since i had attended many indiblogger meets.
Evening at event started with headbanging music by indiblogger team followed by Hurrrrrrrr by anoop ,which he usually does at the start to wake all bloggers at the event , to bring in energy among indi bloggers. Asus was the main theme at the meet.The official hashtag at the event was #gosleeekasusexperience .
There were two products of Asus displayed at the event .Product manager David did the presentation on Asus Eebook X205 and Asus AIO PC. Indeed the most sleek and powerful gadgets at the event.I was amazed by the light weight eebook which is very very sleek and less than 1kg if weight.AIO ET2040 was another all in one PC which had gesture control. The design was superb and very portable .Felt like taking AIO home from that event.Unique thing about those gadgets was they are very affordable and priced around 15k and 26k respctively.End of the presentation was followed by QA which was very informative. I had a look at both the gadgets and it was very good to review the same.
That was followed by as usual blogger activities and lots of fun .It was good to meet bloggers after a long time .Had lots of fun at the event.At last the dinner and then head home after event. ASUS indiblogger was a memorable event and i would like to thank indiblogger team for making this event happen that too the first blogger meet of 2015 in Bangalore
In current era of gadgets becomes sleeker and sleeker , More the sleek more the look and feel of the gadgets.Gone are the days when desktops were big box shaped and huge design which was bulky and heavy.we still remember we had to make separate arrangement just for keeping desktop in a space constraint house .The current trend of gadget freak people is compact and light weight.Either the desktop or laptop it should be easier to carry or easier to relocate at any point of time to any place of choice . It becomes easy in case of people who travel extensively.We have seen laptops of earlier era which was very heavy which made it very difficult to carry everywhere.
The two gadgets which am going to discuss further in this post are ASUS EeeBook X205TA - very sleek laptop with rich set of features and second one ASUS All in One PC ET2040 - Simple , versatile and powerful in short ultra-potable.

My experience visiting Univercell sync at bangalore started with meeting Soumya Menon,VP Brand Strategy of Univercell . It was indeed very memorable and one of a kind experience where i got to know the true essence of what actually Univercell sync is all about . Soumya explained all bloggers about how the univercell sync is different from others and how it would connect people from different walks of life and get exactly what they are looking for.
Univercell sync exactly understands the needs of the customers in-depth and provide suitable solutions to everyone.You dont just visit the store but experience technology at finger tips.It also provides various value added services like mobile insurance,pick and drop services,repair and replacement guarantee where they pick phone at ur place and many more services for very nominal fee.
To elaborate more , we could see the store was organized into various sections like Music section for Music lovers , Photography section for photography enthusiasts , A tablets section for people who love tablets , A budget phone section for common people which would refer to current market or hot market,a section for hot picks or fast sellers and not categorized sections .

Coming to the available gadgets at store , one gadget strikes me the most and that is LG Pocket photo printer .
The very important feature of this gadget is , printer does not require any ink cartridge or any other ink source , all that you require is just photo paper from LG . I was told that it could print upto 15 prints at once . Source of charge would be lithium -ion battery . This particular gadget supports both NFC and bluetooth . To make things easier this gadget can be carried easily any where for trips or any other occasions. We bloggers got a opportunity to take a close look at the device and we got a live demo from store manger . If any one is willing to have a look at this device can any time visit the univercell store at CMH road Bangalore . I have capture the live demo from my smart phone which is shared below .
Live Demo :
These are the smart phones/Tabs which i have reviewed at univercell sync
1) Nokia Lumia 1520
2) Samsung Galaxy Note 3
3) HTC Desire 516

coming to the specs and feature , Battery backup is given more importance with 3050mAh which itself is more powerful coming close to 500 hours of stand by time , amazing !!! . 2 GB RAM with 16 GB itself tells you that its smart enough and powerful . Design is sleek with magnesium alloy frame which is strong enough build .
Samsung S2 was a flagship model for Samsung which was largely popular among Samsung S series of Mobiles. S2 Plus is upgraded version of S2 , upgraded not in terms of Memory , screen size or Size of RAM but Upgraded in terms of Shutter Speed of Camera , White color of AMOLED looks real white compared to yellowish in S2 .

Another change is the use of Broadcom Chipset used in S2 Plus Phones . The Storage capacity is reduced to 8 GB in S2 Plus ( a little Drawback ) . This Smartphone was released in Feb 2013 . The Sound clarity is really good but not loud enough for Hard core Music lovers .
Super Amoled is really awesome when it comes to picture clarity and the HD display or HD Video recording is mind blowing aspect of S2 Plus . 3G is really fast and wifi works good on 1GB RAM of S2 Plus . Currently updated Android version on this device is 4.2.2 Jelly Bean . We are not sure whether this will the the last official release update on this Phone
