@ helpGG IS THE REDMI NOTE 3 ANY GOOD? WHICH ONE IS WORTH BUYING – THE 2GB OR 3GB VARIANT? DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO PURCHASE THE MI PROTECT PLAN? INTERACTIVE MAGAZINE SWAPNIL GUPTA, on e-mail GG The Redmi Note 3 is a great device; you should go for the 3 GB variant costing `11,999, as it comes with 32 GB of internal storage.

WHAT OTHER ALTERNATIVES DO I HAVE FOR STREAMING YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON TV? The 4-inch iPhone: Apple iPhone SE April 2016 / `50/ www.gadgetsngizmos.in DCP No. F.2(I/I) Press/2009 ENTER THE VIRTUAL WORLD Virtual Reality is all set to redefine the rules of the game KESHAV ARORA, on e-mail GG The new Google Chromecast is a very good device. It is more compact now and works in a much better way. You can buy one and use it with the Chromecast app for iOS and Android. We have also reviewed the new Chromecast in this edition of the magazine. Apart from Google Chromecast, you can consider Teewe 2, Amkette EvoTV and Portronics Pandora 2. I WANT TO BUY THE IPHONE SE BECAUSE OF ITS COMPACT SIZE. WHAT IS ITS SCREEN SIZE? IS THE CAMERA GOOD? DOES IT SLOW DOWN WITH IOS 9? Changing Times India has become an important market for technology companies. I remember the time when we had to wait for months to get hold of new gadgets, because only when the new variants were launched abroad would the older versions come to India. But now, all the latest devices, be it the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 or Apple iPad, are coming to India sooner. I just wish that the prices of these high-profile gadgets come down in future. AMIT SHARMA, on e-mail NEERU GANDHI, on e-mail GG The iPhone SE comes with the same processor as the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Even while running on iOS 9 or upwards, it doesn’t slow down. The camera is very good and captures good images even in low light. The iPhone SE comes with a 4-inch display, while iPhone 6s has a 4.7-inch screen.
