@ helpGG I WANT TO BUY A GOOD LOOKING SMARTPHONE WITH A GOOD CAMERA. MY BUDGET IS AROUND `12,000. PLEASE SUGGEST THE BEST AND LATEST ONE. INTERACTIVE MAGAZINE RITIKA GOEL, on e-mail GG You can buy great devices under `12,000. The recently launched Redmi Note 3 from Xiaomi has a superb display, camera and battery. You can consider the 32 GB variant which comes with 3 GB RAM, priced at `11,999. The LeEco 1s for `10,999 is good, too.

I WANT TO BUY AN IPHONE BUT I'M CONFUSED BETWEEN THE IPHONE SE AND THE IPHONE 6S. CAN YOU SUGGEST WHICH ONE IS BETTER? BUDGET IS NO CONSTRAINT. ANSHUL KHURANA, on e-mail GG The processing power of both are the same. They differ in screen size and battery. The iPhone SE is compact with a 4-inch display, whereas the iPhone 6s packs in a 4.7-inch display. If you are comfortable with a bigger display, go for the iPhone 6s, otherwise the iPhone SE is ideal. In terms of battery, both phones last a day. Camera results are similar on both the devices. One thing missing in the iPhone SE is 3D touch. I HAVE LIMITED CELLULAR DATA ON MY MOBILE CONNECTION, BUT A LOT OF DATA IS CONSUMED BY APPS. IS THERE ANY APP THAT CAN HELP ME SAVE ON MOBILE SNEHA BASU, on e-mail DATA? GG You can download the Opera Max app and use it to customise the settings for data consumption. It allows you to change settings for individual apps as well as videos and images. You can also turn on data saving on the mobile browser. Storage Woes It is strange how companies are continuing to come up with 8 GB and 16 GB storage space in phones, when apps consume up to a few hundred MBs and sometimes GBs, too. I wish there was a norm that disallowed companies to manufacture phones with internal storage less than 32 GB or 64 GB. This would help customers load data and also heavy gaming graphic apps.
