GAMEPLAY 
Shoot the colorful orbs onto a grid. As soon as the orb stops it will grow until it hits an obstacle (wall or another orb on the playing field). Now you have to shoot the orb several times with the following orbs until it’s destroyed. Every destroyed orb grants you one single point. You could collect endless points but there is one difficulty: The shot mustn’t hit the death line above the cannon. If it does, the game is over! How many points can you get?

What Android Guru Says :

Well ! When you hold this phone in your hand it will simply make you center of attraction where ever you go. 
Because of it glassy look, large (5 inch) screen etc. In just 10k INR you will get much more things like 1 GHz processor, 2000 MAh battery, dual sim, Android ICS and 8 megapixel camera etc. 

But the graphics and visual effects are not so good. The camera is of 8 megapixel but picture quality is really worst. A quality of headphone given with phone is very horrible. You have to buy a new headphone if you are really a music lover. Like Sony and Creative. 


Recommendation of Android Guru :

In just 10K INR its not a big deal. You can go with it. If you are not a hardcore smartphone user or you don't want to spend more money. 

Android Guru Rating :

7.5/10

A short introduction to rooting Android devices


Hey guys ! Welcome to our blog,in this post we will learn a little about rooting an Android device i mean what is rooting, it's benefits and downsides, how to perform rooting and more.......
 

What is "rooting" an android ?

 Let me tell you from where the word root comes from . actually "root" is the superuser in any Unix/Linux system. and to perform any action like changing some system settings and all one should have the root privileges. Since the Android or should i say the great Android OS also based on Linux Kernel

[[[[[ A Kernel is like a bridge between Hardware and Software . Just because of kernel Hardware and Software communicates with each other ]]]]]]
So You got a brand new Android phone and  the phone is pre loaded with lots of apps and imagine if most of apps are not useful to you and those apps are just draining your mobile phone's battery, using a lot of your  system resources. Then may be rooting you phone can help you a lot :)
Because rooting you phone will give you the superuser / super admin access to your phone and then you can do what you want to do with your Android Phone/Android Devices

_________________________________________________________________________________

Does Rooting void my warranty ?

Off course "YES" Let me tell you if your android device is rooted and there is some issues with your phone and you take it to the Customer Care Support    and ask them to repair it . Then guess what they simply refuse to do so because they will never find there OS. The OS which they provide with the new phone/device so please think twice before rooting you android.

_________________________________________________________________________________

 Benefits of rooting your Android !

  • Increase Battery Life
  • Free you internal storage
  • Use special apps like Root explorer , Hexamob Recovery and lot more
  •  Directly handle you system process and resources since you are the superuser so you can do what you want  
  • Remove unwanted apps from your android 
  • run different version of Android in your device (no more dependency on your provider )
  • And lots more
