@ helpGG I WANT TO BUY A FLAGSHIP SMARTPHONE AND MY BUDGET IS `50,000. CAN YOU SUGGEST WHICH ONE TO BUY? I WAS WAITING FOR THE IPHONE 6S LAUNCH, BUT CAN’T STRETCH MY BUDGET TO `62,000. InteractIve magazIne Reviewed: Philips Hue+ Reviewed :Bose soundTrue Ultra+ BHAWANA GUPTA, on e-mail GG The price of iPhone 6s 16GB has been dropped from `62,000 to `49,499 on online portals such as Flipkart. So you can go ahead and buy the iPhone. Else, you can also consider the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge that were launched earlier this year. The recently launched Nexus 6P is priced at around `40,000 and is a device worth considering. Sweeten your edeals November 2015 / `50/ www.gadgetsngizmos.in Best gadgets for this festive season DOES IT REALLY MAKE SENSE TO SPEND MONEY ON A PERSONAL NAVIGATION DEVICE? HOW GOOD IS GOOGLE MAPS THAT WE HAVE ON OUR SMARTPHONES? CAN IT GUIDE ME ON HIGHWAYS TOO? RAVI JOSHI, on e-mail GG Be it in a city or on highways, Google Maps works really well. It even offers live traffic updates. While it works well in online mode, Google has recently launched an offline mode. Just invest in a universal mount to mount your smartphone on the windscreen, which will cost you `150, and a good car charger that continues to add juice to your smartphone.. I WANT A HIGH-SPEED INTERNET CONNECTION AT HOME. SHOULD I BUY A WIFI DONGLE AS IT WILL LET ME ACCESS INTERNET ON THE MOVE? SPEED AND PLANS ARE MOST IMPORTANT. DO SUGGEST. DCP No. F.2(I/I) Press/2009 Living in Luxury I really enjoyed reading the cover story on ‘Smart Home’ that was covered by Gadgets & Gizmos recently. To think that such fancy rooms that we see in five-star hotels can be installed at homes too, albeit at a huge cost! I think, in a few years, all this will become mainstream. Most of the new constructions from builders will have such facilities retrofit in the new apartments. DR DEEPAK KAPOOR, on e-mail ASHOK KHANNA, on e-mail GG If you need internet only at home, a broadband connection will be a good idea as you get highspeed internet and better plans. Airtel offers 25 GB of data on 8 MBPS for `1,399. WiFi dongles do not offer such good speed or plans. You can never be sure of high speed data connectivity on the move.
