Apple won't be able to sell refurbished iPhones in India

 By Felipe Berhau on May 31, 2016       

The Indian government decided to stop refurbished iPhone sales in India. Apple has been selling refurbished or certified phones as a move to sell more phones and gain market in the country, but it is seen as a bad practice by the government. "We are not in favor of any company selling used phones in the country", minister of commerce and industry said. 

Apple has been having some trouble in India, selling phones with high price tags in a market where phones under  200 dollars like the moto G4 dominate the market. At the same time, the Indian goverment requires manufacturers to make 30% in the country. This is something Apple hasn't been very keen on doing.

Let's see how the story ends for Apple in India. They are obviously not happy on losing this big market and will probably find their way back into it.

Asus Zenfone 3 is official!

 By Felipe Berhau on May 30, 2016       

Asus just unveiled its new Zenfone line of smartphones and we must say that they look good!

The phones were just announced at Computex, with the Zenfone 3 being the mid-tier flagship of them. This one carries a 5.5" 1080p screen, a 16/8MP camera set up, the Snapdragon 625 CPU with 4 gigs of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. All of this, backed with a 3000mAH battery and a price under 300 dollars.

The Ultra version of it comes with a massive 6.8" 1080p screen, 23MP shooter, 128GB of built-in storage and an insane 4600mAH battery. Sounds amazing, but will it fit in your pocket? Probably not. The Deluxe edition is more compact, though, coming with a 5.7" 1080p screen and a 23MP shooter, 6GB of RAM and the powerful Snapdragon 820 CPU.

Upcoming Xiaomi Redmi 3A hits TENAA

 By Felipe Berhau on May 29, 2016       

New Xiaomi Redmi 3A has been spotted at TENAA, and some of its specs have emerged. As you can see in the pictures, it comes with the familiar Xiaomi design language and has a back fingerprint scanner. 

This will be a rather compact device, with a 5" HD screen, a 13MP camera and Android 6.0.1 running on a octa-core 1.4GHz CPU. One interesting aspect, though, is that it comes with a 4000mAH battery, which is huge, and its price in China will be under 100 dollars.

We have to wait and see until it's unveiled, but it will be a very competitive phone for sure.
