New Year Resolutions - Week 12 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

A quarter of the Year 2022 is almost over and it's time now to look at things from a quarterly perspective there will be a post on the same too but let's focus on what I did in Week 11 where I had a lot of failures for sure as I focussed on playing with Reyansh as he came back from India after 2 months or so. 

Week 12 - 19 Mar 2022 (Sat) to 25 Mar 2022 (Fri)

1. Walking - I didn't go on a daily walk for most of the week and could only achieve 16.4 Kilometers this week for the 3 days I went. I could not go on Friday as I went to a birthday party with family. The overall counter still stands around 260+ kilometres in 12 weeks (Target 240 kilometres) so far so I have something of a buffer to don't think much about these little failures. 

2. Thank You - I completed the 100k Thank You counter for the month and this time it went from 0 to 100k all the way without any reset or something. I am really grateful to Ken Honda for this task that I really enjoy doing. 

3. Audiobooks - I completed Chris Bailey's Hyperfocus: how to work less and achieve more and this has been my 15th book so far in 3 months. I really loved reading all these books rather than listening to them during my walks. Some of them I will revisit in printed editions or on kindle a little later or can refer to them again and again in the coming days for sure. I started listening to Blinkist but didn't find that platform to be much interesting as it's someone's summary or understanding of the book. I started listening to Chris Voss - Never Split The Difference which is really something of a lifelong goal for me too. This is one of the books I would want to buy in real life too and keep it with me all the time. 

4. Entertainment - The only entertainment I had was making the Lego Star Wars - 75242 - Black Ace TIE Interceptor up to the level that I spent the Monday afternoon building it from scratch to finish. It was my first time ever with the Lego blocks and I received them from the NAG team. I built it to the level that at the end of the making process my left-hand thumb was bleeding from the side as I put a lot of pressure to put blocks in place. It's still hurting and a lesson learnt that you have to take care of your hands while building small lego pieces. 

5. Daily Prayers - This week was a failure for daily prayers as I didn't do them for at least 5 days and this is really sad. I have to find time to complete my daily prayers and also Shradha bought some new idols from India and I totally loved them. I was using one idol of Lord Hanuman from Archies gallery which Keisha gifted me way back in 2010 before I went to London and this has been with me for so many years. 

6. Social Media - I continued to schedule the posts on my Instagram and Facebook pages but did not get enough response. I am posting on the channels on a daily basis and let's continue to build it for the whole year and work on the power of consistency. I also have to find some time to create more photo posts from all the photos I have taken over the years. My youtube channel also completed 5000 hours of Youtube watch lifetime which is really great and I am thankful to everyone who watches my content. 

I enjoyed a lot of sweets and things that came from India via Shradha and Reyansh. I also bought a lot of goodies from Amazon.in and Isha Yoga and also those will be unboxed on my youtube channel soon. I have plenty of things that will help me create so many more videos in years to come. 

Cheers!!!

Samsung’s Latest #Monitors Have South Africa’s Media Captivated @SamsungSA #GamingMonitors

Hi Friends, 

Samsung’s Smart Monitor line-up effortlessly impresses those in search of enhanced productivity and an immersive entertainment experience. South Africa’s media have responded as enthusiastically to the many display sizes and design options, along with new and enhanced smart features and overall value. Various media outlets have reviewed different Samsung monitors including the M5 Smart Monitor, the Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor and the Curved Gaming Monitor – with glowing reviews.

Gavin Dudley from Tech Magazine says the Samsung M5 Smart Monitor is a hit product this year. Combining a computer monitor and a TV in one device, the M5 Smart Monitor, meets two needs. Firstly, you can make efficient use of space and money by combining a workstyle and a lifestyle appliance in one compact gadget. Gavin believes that makes it ideal for the South African market. Second, it doubles as a versatile visual hub for managing the growing number of online services and smart home devices. As it is, the M5 Smart Monitor costs a little more than a big monitor, and a little less than an entry-level TV which he believes is exactly in the sweet spot for this popular product category in South Africa.

Aashish Rai with Grant Hinds at Samsung S22 Launch Event

For Grant Hinds, the well-known gamer and content creator every single frame of a competitive TV game matters. This is why he made a carefully calculated decision when he chose the Samsung Curved Gaming Monitor. Speed, performance and essential details like 240Hz caught the attention of this passionate gamer. He believes the impressive refresh rate on the Samsung Curved Gaming Monitor is a big tick box for any gamer looking for that competitive edge. With many local gamers demanding exceptional immersion, performance, image quality and industry defining visual design, Grant says they need look no further than the Samsung Curved Gaming monitor.

Also an avid gamer, lifestyle and technology Blogger/Youtuber Aashish Rai was drawn to the Samsung Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor. He says this monitor is just like its namesake - a long series of adventures waiting for you to celebrate. Aashish believes Samsung's 49-inch curved monitor offers the incredible resolution South Africans want. He was impressed by the 240hz refresh rate and infinity core lights on the back, which provides stunning RGB effects “to make everyone watching you jealous to the core.”

This is my unboxing video of the same and I totally fell in love with the display and wants it to be in my life always going forward! I am looking forward to earning some money to buy the same from Samsung Online Store in South Africa. 

With those in the know finding so many reasons to enjoy the Samsung monitor line-up, South Africans have more reason than ever to explore the range and find the perfect monitor for work and play. Find out more about the Samsung Monitor line-up here.

Cheers!!!

Huawei's First Foldable Smartphone #HUAWEIP50Pocket Brings Premium In Your Hands @HuaweiZA

Hi Friends, 

The latest smartphones from the international technology giant Huawei are here, and they are here to impress. The HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition and HUAWEI P50 Pro are now available in South Africa and have to be seen and experienced to be believed.

The HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition: Innovation at its best

The HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition breaks the mould in terms of traditional smartphone design in that it enables seamless folding. It’s Huawei’s very first horizontally folding smartphone and boasts an all-new multi-dimensional hinge that enables the HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition to fold seamlessly in half, while still being ultra-slim and lightweight. Since the hinge is made of ultra-high-strength steel, you also don’t have to worry about its durability.

The HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition sets the bar high for HUAWEI IMAGE TM. All the technical breakthroughs debuted in the HUAWEI P50 Pro (more on that below) are featured in the HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition, too. Its camera system comprises a 40MP True-Chroma camera, a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 32MP ultra-spectrum camera, a 10-channel multi-spectrum sensor and an ultra-spectrum illuminator. The HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition also features the True-Chroma Image Engine and HUAWEI XD Optics, like the HUAWEI P50 Pro. All of these features come together to create images that are true-to-life and rich in detail.

While taking selfies with the HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition, you can take advantage of the powerful main camera for the best-looking shots. The rear camera portrait selfie algorithms boost low-light performance and preserve details and skin textures. You also get highly accurate, built-in beautification features that make sure everyone always looks good, yet still natural.

When you unfold the HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition, an immersive 6.9-inch fully flat screen welcomes you, one that has a high refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 300Hz.

The HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition smart cover screen displays notifications, schedule, calendar, music, weather and the camera, and is interactive. It can also be customised through a variety of themes.

The HUAWEI P50 Pro: A flagship smartphone in every way

When it comes to its camera and aesthetic, the HUAWEI P50 Pro, Huawei’s flagship smartphone, is second to none. Its True-Form Dual-Matrix Camera system comprises a powerful main camera matrix and a superzoom matrix that provide lifelike imagery with extreme clarity and high dynamic range. The hardware is enhanced with the HUAWEI XD Optics and HUAWEI XD Fusion Pro Image Engine, which ensures brighter, high-resolution images and greater detail.

The periscope zoom lens on the HUAWEI P50 Pro also has an incredible 100x zoom with a total zoom range of up to 200x when used in conjunction with the wide-angle and periscope lens. The smartphone also supports 4K video recording from both the front and rear cameras.

The HUAWEI P50 Pro fares well in the design department. Its Dual-Matrix camera design looks stunning and makes the HUAWEI P50 Pro instantly recognisable. The 3D curved screen supports HDR and the full P3 colour gamut, delivering a stunning visual experience. It also has a 120Hz refresh panel with a 300Hz touch sampling rate, providing a smoother display and faster response time.

Another great feature of the HUAWEI P50 Pro is its battery. Powering the HUAWEI P50 Pro is a massive 4360mAh battery that supports 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge and 50W Wireless HUAWEI SuperCharge for quick and effortless charging. 

The HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition and the HUAWEI P50 Pro both run on EMUI 12, which offers a straightforward, smooth, safe and reliable user experience for working, studying, gaming, entertainment and video editing. It also enables the seamless control of multiple devices through its Super Device feature. Simply select the Device+ tab in the control panel and set up multi-device collaboration with other devices, such as the HUAWEI FreeBuds, MatePad and MateBook.

The HUAWEI P50 Pocket Premium Edition and the HUAWEI P50 Pro will be available for pre-order from 22 March 2022. Go to the Huawei Store (Online) for more information.

New Year Resolutions - Week 11 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

Week 11 too was more about entertainment and binge-watching on Netflix and other streaming platforms. There was a lot of new movies addition on Netflix and I was glued to the platform somehow and watched all the content at the regular speed for a change wasting a lot of time. It was definitely a test of patience for some of the content which I could have skipped at 1.5x or more speeds on the smartphone app. I am not so sure which buttons to press to change the playing speed on Smart TV or maybe the app on my TV is not updated as yet. Let me try that on Samsung M7 Smart Monitor and revert to you next week. 

Week 11 - 12 Mar 2022 (Sat) to 18 Mar 2022 (Fri)

1. Entertainment - I watched the movie Badhaai Do starring RajKummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar on Netflix and totally loved watching the same. I watched another South Korean movie named The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure which is just a time pass and nothing fancy about the same and you can avoid it too. Then I went on to watch The Adam Project again on Netflix starring Ryan Reynolds, Zoe Saldana, Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner. This movie is really interesting and one time watch for sure. You will enjoy the acting of the little kid in the movie played by Walker Scobell. I watched Dolittle with my daughter and we totally loved the same starring Robert Downey Jr. It's a must-watch movie with your little ones also available on Netflix. I watched the new Spiderman: No Way Home movie also after such a long wait and totally loved the same. Overall, it was an entertaining week for sure with so many movies watched back to back. 

2. Launch Event - I attended the virtual launch event of Awesome Samsung Galaxy A event where they launched Samsung A33 and A53 smartphones for the price-conscious markets. The same day we saw the launch of Huawei foldable devices named Huawei P50 Pocket which is really amazing and a grand event was planned for the same at Sun Arena Times Square Casino in Pretoria. I received some awesome goodies from both the events which you can see the videos on my Youtube channel if interested. 

3. Walking - This week I walked the most in a single go which was around 8.6 kilometres which I have not done so far earlier in this year. I used to walk 15 kilometres regularly but after Covid times this was the first time ever to do anything more than 8 kilometres. I completed the intentional 20 kilometres for this week easily and the next week will be a task as the family is coming back to Joburg and will be hectic for some days initially to leave Reyansh behind and not play with him and invest time in walking. 

4. Thank You - I completed around 49000xThank You during this week as the timer got reset due to falling on the ground and restarted again from zero. It's good that I have already completed 100k for this month but carrying on on a daily basis. I intend to be more grateful all the time but it's a difficult task to do and be in a state of gratefulness all the time. Let's continue our focus on becoming the same and it will also be achieved soon as we are just on Week 11 which is around 1/4 of the year and soon by the end of Mar-22 it will be week 13. Let's add up the numbers then. 

5. Audiobooks - I started another audiobook after many deliberations and took some rest also from the books. I thought of listening to Chris Bailey's Hyperfocus: how to work less and achieve more and it's a 6hr 40 minutes long book. I am finding the same interesting and this will require a relisten or reading a printed book for sure. 

6. Daily Prayers - I completed 14000 x Hanuman Chalisa during this week which is a significant achievement from where I started some months back. The power of dedicated efforts slowly and steadily can help you achieve a lot more if you remain consistent. The overall count towards 42 years is now less than 1400xHanuman Chalisa which I am tracking as I wanted to have it around 1000 by the end of Mar-22. 

7. Social Media - I am consistently posting on FB/IG on a daily basis and sometimes on Youtube and Blog posts. I am okay with the frequency and maybe instead of pressing the publish button, I can streamline the schedule. It will definitely help me achieve the success I am looking for in social media platforms. I am feeling like I need to take a break from this for some time now and enjoy the time in some activities that fetches me money rather than a goodies bag which these days are not worthwhile. If you look at the quality of goodies Huawei is giving in their events, it has significantly dropped from what they used to offer. I have even received a Mont Blanc Leather Card keeper from them at one of the events which were for the Mate series of smartphones. If you think that from the goodies bag, a person can earn some money then it's a thought that needs introspection and investigation for sure. 

The Youtube subscribers count is only going on a snail's pace with 1 addition on some days and sometimes 1 reduction too and I am losing interest too now. I am not sure what kind of videos I shall make but I will continue to change and revive the thing I am doing using all means I have available. Let's see if I will hit the 1000 mark by 31 March 2022 or it will be on 30-Apr-2022 the time will tell? Till that time - keep working on your goals all the time. 

Cheers!!!

3 Reasons to Choose #InstaxLinkWide Smartphone Printer @InstaxA #ProductReview

Hi Friends,

Instax loved my review of miniLiPlay and miniLink printer and sent me this new Instax Link Wide Smartphone Printer to test and review the same too. I received the same in Ash White colour and the device is also available in Mocha Gray colours too. By the end of the review time, I wanted that the device shall remain with me due to several points which I will share with you guys here in my blog post. 

1. Size of the prints - This device and the wide Instax prints have definitely brought Instax to the normal film prints we used to collect when we were using reel cameras from Kodak and other brands. I still have lots and lots of photos stored in the albums in the postcard size prints (90mm x 130mm). Using this wideLink camera you can print any photo of your choice using the smartphone app in 62mm x 99mm size which looks much better than the smaller Instax prints. The use cases to have these bigger prints can be many as they give you the creative ability to do whatever you want. The pack of 10 instax films is only marginally expensive and retails around R199. 

2. Portability and Convenience - The device can be recharged using the micro-USB charging cable and could have been a Type-C as it's launching in the year 2021 where almost all the devices are Type-C. One charge can print up to 100 prints easily and takes around 2 hours to fully charge. The package also contains a plastic stand where you can place the device to upright it. The device looks beautiful and can be carried too as it's only 340 grams. There is a strap that comes in the package to make the portability easier but the stand you need to put it someplace safe so as to not lose it. 

3. Instax App and Filters - Instax always have an exclusive app for all of its printers and this time also launched a new app for both android and iOS platforms named Instax Link Wide app. Now once the app is installed, how the photos need to come all lies in your creativity. From simple photos to getting stickers on the photos to QR codes for secret hidden messages, the use cases for your creativity are numerous. There are editable templates, collage prints, can use stickers and you can even sketch and print your own designs on your photos. This time because bigger sizes do require better colour tones for print, the app also has a mode to showcase rich prints using two modes named rich and natural based on your choice. 

I really loved this device due to its bigger photo print size but once you are in this business you need to decide which photo printers you should go for as the price of the device is around R2599 and every film pack will cost around R199. You can also check out if you are in love with normal prints any Canon Selphy printers where the overall cost is half as compared to the Instax device. The style and design factor is amazingly high on this device as compared to any other smartphone printer from other brands. I am sure you will never go wrong making this investment if you are into photo printing for fun and creativity. 

I did an unboxing video of the device on my Youtube channel which by your grace is now near 1000 mark subscribers and has more than 250 videos for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to Instax South Africa for sending their amazing products for my review and now I am thinking of putting all of the photos in an album specially dedicated to Instax prints. 

Cheers!!!

New Year Resolutions - Week 10 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

Week 10 was all about entertainment as I watched a lot of streaming platforms and also finished the 12th season of The Big Bang Theory which was a little nostalgic moment as I started missing the show immediately after the last episode. I could not revive immediately as the show I started watching in London in 2011 or so and only finished it watching in 2022. 

Week 10 - 05 Mar 2022 (Sat) to 11 Mar 2022 (Fri)

1. Entertainment - I started my week watching JHUND starring Amitabh Bachchan and totally loved the movie. This is one movie that you should watch with family and friends and music by Ajay-Atul creates an upbeat effect on your overall experience of the movie. I watched another movie on Netflix named Against the Ice starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau which is a book based movie on Denmark's Polar expedition. It's a very slow movie and can be avoided and needs the patience to watch but can be watched once if there is nothing else you want to do. I also watched the movie Love Hostel which is not worthy of your time at all starring Sanya Malhotra, Vikrant Massey and Bobby Deol. This movie is a disaster and totally unreal and feels like as desi John Wick comes to meet some village in Haryana. I also watched RUDRA: The edge of darkness based on Luther starring Ajay Devgn and Raashi Khanna on Disney+ Hotstar. This one is really thrilling as it keeps you on the edge and I binge-watched all episodes in a single evening. You will definitely enjoy the desi Luther on which this series is made. 

2. Walking - I completed my weekly 20 kilometres and also undertook 8 kilometres walk on one of the days. I intend to do it every week once in a while and can take it further to 10-15 kilometres if I can spend some extra time or if I want to finish the audiobook on the same day itself. I am getting some muscle pulls during 8 kilometres but it will go with time as I raise my level of walking again towards 15 kilometres in a single go. My time for 6 kilometres has improved from 1 hr 15 minutes (from 2020) or so to 1 hr 5 minutes now. 

3. Audiobooks - I completed the Happy Sexy Millionaire by Steven Bartlett and loved some of the learnings from the book. I am sure I want to read a physical copy of this book again later in the year. I started another masterclass book by Eric Jorgenson - The Alamanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness which is totally free in audio and book format for all. This is one of the first books which you should have as a daily bible for your life. With these, I have already finished half of the 25 books I wanted to read for this year. I will continue to listen to more and more books and let's see how far the target goes this year now. I also watched Peter Russels Deported stand up act in Mumbai on Netflix. 

4. Thank You - I did somewhere around 70000 Thank you during this period which is really a great achievement in a single week. I am sure that it will bring me some good news in terms of earning more goodies or money in future. 

5. Daily Prayers - I completed Year 38xHanuman Chalisa prayers this week and made a promise that I will average around 30x Hanuman Chalisa on a daily basis. I am still missing 1-day prayer every week and this needs to be sorted immediately or at least a constant reminder should be there to do it every day. I am now only 4 years of Hanuman Chalisa away which needs to be done by 22-Jul-2022 which is my 42nd birthday. 

6. Launch Events - I attended the Samsung VIP experience event at Mall of Africa and dinner at KREAM but I missed eating as I had to pick up Keisha from a birthday party and had to leave early. I enjoyed the setup of Samsung S22 Experience zones and also met Anele at the event. I also loved the Uber Black (2nd time ever sitting in a Mercedes taxi) which transported me from my home to the venue and then back home all paid for by Samsung South Africa. Thank You Team Samsung. I have not received the new S22 Ultra for review so far but in future, if I get it, you will see a lot of content posted on my channels. 

7. Social Media - I continue to schedule a lot of content that goes live daily on FB/IG at the same time every day. If I am getting any benefits out of it, I have not seen any so far but I still have so much content that I can share on my platforms meanwhile I create more and more for future use too. I have not received even a single response back since I started charging for my posts and many PR companies have stopped sending me their continuous press releases. It saves me a lot of time as I now don't need to respond to them at all. Thank You PR companies who are looking for free blog posts and never responded in kind or goodies in so many years. 

This week saw some of the Youtube videos go live on my channel and still some 70 subscribers far from the 1000 mark. I am sure I will continue to publish more and more content as and when I get time to do so. Let's enjoy our lives and take care of our futures too with the right kind of investments. Give priority to those tasks and people who are aligned to your vision of the future. One who is not contributing to your bills can be said bye-bye because it all boils down to money sooner or later. 

Cheers!!!

EPSON EF-100W - A Home Projector To Worth Consider @Epson_Store #EF100W #ProductReview

Hi Friends,

I received this Epson Home Projector EF-100W from their PR company for review for around 2-3 weeks and found this to be a one-point projector to go for if you are in need of an enlarged screen, portability to carry it to Kruger National Park only if the residents near you allow you to play it loudly, also it offers 150inch of display which is way above any home projector currently in the market and the use cases are enough to spend around R7999 as marked on Takealot.com website currently. 

I first saw the Epson HD projector when one of my friends came back from the USA and told me that rather than buying a big TV he bought this Epson HD projector which can have as much display as you want or have a ceiling or wall between the table and the projector. He even showcased his marriage ceremonies video for our viewing pleasure on his wall way back in 2011 or so. I thought that day that I will have to own one day but that day has still not arrived in the last 11 years now. 

Coming back to the features of Epson EF-100W Home Projector, Epson has tried to accommodate a lot of components into a single machine which makes it unique too. I have not checked the other brands of Home Projector like Acer, LG, Sony or Samsung's latest released Freestyle so far. I fell in love with the Acer's small projector which easily fits in your pocket and the review is posted here. 

Epson EF-100W is a nice package with a total weight of around 2.7 kilograms. The design and build is unique in terms of hidden compartment for all the cables along with a streaming device like Amazon Fire TV stick can be placed on the back panel which is made of cloth and plastic. You can even power the stick as a micro-USB cable is provided to charge the same. This is something that I was so happy to see how neatly the whole package can be transported in a bag without the unnecessary cable management to be done. Epson provides a warranty of 5 Years on the device which is really great. 

The white coloured model I received really looks great with grills in the front as well on the side to make the airflow smooth but as you know the case with any projector, you don't need a heater as the warm air can heat the environment around the device. Also, the fan in this one doesn't make that much noise to interfere with the audio of your content being played as the device has 5W built-in speakers too making it really enjoyable on the go. Moreover, this model also offers to connect with any of your Bluetooth speakers from soundbars to normal ones. For a personalized experience, it still got a 3.5mm jack to plug in your headphones. 

Once you have positioned (on the side or normal position) the home projector then the rest of the device can be remotely controlled using the remote that is part of the package so that you can enjoy the streaming platforms without any disturbances. The Epson EF-100W is a 2D projector with various video modes to suit your taste like Natural, Dynamic, Cinema and Bright Cinema. The bright cinema makes it really easy to watch and use the projector in broad daylight also. It's not a projector you will only plug and play in the evenings as it can work the whole day long too. The manual controls on the body of the projector include the power on-off button, volume up and volume down button, manual focus ring, horizontal and vertical corrections. 

The closer you can keep the projector to focus is around 30 inches and can be taken up to 150 inches wide screen size. This means that it can work great if you want to play games and sit close to the wall too. The lens focus is manual using the button on the top of the device. The lens life as told by Epson is around 10 Years derived with the usage of around 5 hours daily in the Eco mode. The colours are good for your eyes as the technology used is 3LCD with RGB liquid crystal shutter along with laser light source which can produce bright and can reproduce 1.07 billion colours on the displays easily. I played my video in 1080p via Youtube and I didn't have any problems whatsoever in watching the HD content. In terms of inputs, there are 2 USB 2.0 and 1 HDMI. You can also lock the device using the Kensington lock if being used in an office or public places etc. 

One thing here is that any home projector won't be able to match the picture quality on the QLED/OLED TV displays your eyes enjoy but it definitely brings the portability anyone is looking for. I have made up my mind that I do need a home projector in my life and maybe in 2022, the wish will be fulfilled else TheLife'sWay has to earn a lot of money to buy the same.

You can also check out the unboxing video of the device to look and feel the device in a video mode on my Youtube channel and if you like consider subscribing to my channel for more such videos.

Basics Made Easy With #NokiaG10 Smartphone #ProductReview @NokiaMobile

Hi Friends,

Nokia is trying to revive itself in the Android smartphone market after not following my advice some 10 years ago when I received a review device in  London from Belgium via AC Nielsen survey company for some pounds in agreement to review the device for 4 weeks. Nokia is now flooding the market with its varied range of products from entry-level to top of the class as shown in No Time to Die - James Bond movie.  

Nokia G10 is a value-segment dual-SIM smartphone that has 6.5 inches HD+ large immersive display. It comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM which really makes it within the reach of value segment consumers. The storage can be expanded to 512GB using the micro-SD card. 

It has a 13MP camera with 2MP and another 2MP camera along with an 8MP front camera. It also has a night mode and portrait mode to up your mobile photography game. I did love the circular camera design which makes it easy to recognize if you see it in someone's hands. 

Nokia G10 also has a side fingerprint sensor for biometric security never seen before in the value segment devices. 

There is a specific Google Assistant button on another side which I was not much fascinated about. It keeps giving you tips but I am not so sure how do we switch it off. I could not find any setting where this can be turned off. I really felt irritated due to the same as if you are connected to wifi, the device keeps reverting with some or the other answers even without saying Ok Google! 

A screen protector is already applied to the smartphone which keeps the screen protected. I also loved this blue colour and the design as it matches the thread structure of the jeans. 

The biggest feature is its 5050mAh AI-assisted battery which provides 3-day battery life with Type-C charging port. It can easily last you a complete 24 hours easily without worrying about charging it again and again. 

The smartphone package has a dual-SIM smartphone, silicon cover, sim ejector pin, earphones with a 3.5mm jack. Nano SIM is what this smartphone needs to work and it's a 4G (LTE) smartphone. 

The smartphone comes with an Android One guarantee to get the latest Android updates for the next 2 years just like all Nokia devices come with. Samsung has not upped the game with 4 years of Android updates so I am sure Nokia will take this forward too in the upcoming devices. 

Nokia G10 is only R2499 with a Dual Sim model so it is definitely within the reach of every student and individual who wants to enjoy the pure android power in their hands. Currently, it's on sale at the Incredible connection website for only R2199. Overall it's a good phone for people who just want a Nokia android experience guarantee for the next 2 years along with some of the features which are not available in the South African market in this price range. 

Cheers!!!
