The figures from the report show that LeEco secured greater percentage of market attention of 25%, and the ranking has remarkable risen to Top 2, right behind Apple now, from the 4th position back in January. It has well surpassed Samsung and other competitors within no more than four months since its first entrance to the market.

LeEco has grabbed heavy attention and disrupted the Indian smartphone industry with the launch of Le 1s and Le Max, making foray into the Indian market in January this year. It has sold 2 lakhs Superphones within 30 days, receiving overwhelming responses from the public and in the first flash sale, 70,000 units of the flagship killer Le 1s were gone within 2 seconds, breaking three industry records and making it the No.1 best- selling smartphones online in India.

Understanding smartphone cameras…

People on social media are constantly looking to click better pictures to upload to their growing online-photo collections. Buying an expensive smart phone may not be enough to up your game in photography, but a little research on camera specifications and nomenclature will go a long way in helping you select that perfect smart phone for your next photographic expedition.

Camera Glossary

Sensor: A sensor captures light and converts what you see into an image. It determines image size, resolution, low-light performance, depth-of-field, dynamic range and basically how good your photos look.

The quality of the image depends on the size of sensor, the number of pixels on it and the
size of those pixels. For example: Samsung’s ISOCELL image sensor technology
promises increased light sensitivity and higher colour fidelity in smartphones
even in poor lighting conditions.

Aperture: The aperture (sometimes called focal ratio) of a camera is the ratio of the lens' focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. It is a measure of lens speed, and provides the thrust to
produce photos with better sharpness and clarity. The higher the focal ratio
and the smaller the opening in the lens, the greater the depth of field and
sharper the background of the photograph.

PDAF: Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) is currently the fastest method of focusing. It uses two sensor points to detect the phase difference in the light path and find the exact distance. It moves
the lens to the correct focus point so that the camera produces high quality
images. A few smartphones also use VCM ball bearing and closed loop technology
in PDAF, which lets the user click a picture in less than 0.09th of
a second.

Megapixel:
This is a unit for measuring image resolution. The more the pixels in a picture,
the more detailed the picture becomes. To put it simply, a single megapixel
amounts to one million pixels in an image and is an indication of the camera's
image quality or resolution. So photographs taken by a camera with higher
megapixels will result in higher resolution images.

Resolution: This refers to the number of pixels
in a camera sensor. A higher resolution means more pixels and more pixels
provide the ability to display more visual information (resulting in greater
clarity and more detail).

Autofocus: The Auto-Focus feature provides a camera with the ability to automatically focus on a subject correctly without the need of manual intervention from the user. This feature allows improved zoom shots and closer macro shots.

So don’t be camera shy, go ahead and research these terms so you have the right smart phone
to click that award winning photo!

Le 1s Eco leads the way in the content game

LeEco is changing the smartphone landscape with their breakthrough technology and disruptive pricing. The company seems to be now ushering in a bold new era in an industry that is sorely lacking innovation!

With their new ‘Made for India’ smartphone – the Le 1s Eco whose launch event I attended – LeEco is not only taking competitors head on in the smartphone industry, but seems to be in the process of transforming the way users experience entertainment with their LeEco Membership Program.

LeEco Membership comprises 4 entertainment services – Video on Demand through the Levidi app, Live Channels on LIVE built‐in app, Music powered by Hungama Music and Live Concerts via LeMusic initiative – and is available for a price of Rs. 490 per month or an annual subscription of Rs. 4900.

Levidi is LeEco’s own video aggregator application that offers a choice of more than 2000 blockbuster films from the ErosNow stable in 10 languages – English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil,
Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

With LIVE, users get access to more than 100 television channels through a partnership with YuppTV. With the likes of Sony, Colors, Aaj Tak, Times Now, 9XM, Nickelodeon and more available, whatever your daily television fix is, LIVE delivers it.

The tie‐up with Hungama Music gives subscribers access to a catalogue of more than 3.5 million songs. What’s more, the music experience is completely ad‐free and streams high‐definition music at 320 kbps in 25 Indian and 6 international languages.

Members will also be able to watch more than 50 international rock, jazz, pop and classical live concerts, real‐time, from the comfort of their phones.

Besides VIP access to all Supertainment services, LeEco is also offering an unprecedented 5TB of LeEco Drive cloud storage along with Rs. 3,000 worth of coupons for their accessories.

In comparison, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 3, the only other phone in the Indian market to offer a well‐advertised content bundle, was announced with a two‐month subscription to the Hungama film and music library. The LeEco Membership Program offers a one‐year subscription straight off the bat.

On the device front, the Le 1s Eco comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM and is priced at Rs. 9,999 for the company’s first sale on Flipkart on May 12. A version of the Redmi Note 3 is available in the market at the same price, but comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM. Meanwhile, the top spec version of
the Redmi Note 3 will burn a Rs. 11,999‐sized hole in your pocket – a Rs. 2,000‐sized larger hole than the Le 1s Eco!

I did a bit of research on the internet and made a more detailed comparison chart of the LeEco Le 1s Eco against its competition in the market.

So what do you think of these Supertainment services and the Le 1s Eco smartphone that LeEco is providing? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Help me purchase my new lap top

Most important spec of all is "build quality, service, support". I am willing to pay for that quality!
I have nothing against large PC companies, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Sony, etc. That said, it seems very difficult to get close to what I'm looking for from these main suppliers. I live in the US but discovered in my research, small PC builders, they seem to cater to gamers, hi end business machines, but some will work with someone like me. Some were even in the UK and seemed to be well thought of and some even seemed competitive in price, even with shipping. A question is, is it silly for me to consider looking at these small builders, I might be incorrect in thinking that these smaller shops might take quality/service/support as more important, then say a multinational corp. I'm open to any and all suggestions, directions, opinions. Anybody who has weighed through this long winded request and wants to comment, hey, feel free, I'll be happy to hear any thing you all have to say.

General Specs.

I'm hoping to buy PC with Win 10 installed, hopefully without bloatware/crapware, a clean install.

12) What screen resolution would you prefer?
Text should be big and east to read, very good resolution a must. Something like a 1920x1080 display would be fine.
