TecQ: HTC 10, Apple, Google Nexus, LeEco, Xiaomi & More

1. Review: HTC 10 Is a Good Attempt, But at the Wrong Price

For a company that's had a rough patch in recent years, the HTC 10 is just the sort of device the doctor ordered to get the company back on track. The design is on point, the hardware is capable, and the device is a credible contender for the premium flagship crown.

The trouble is the competition hasn't been complacent, and smartphone buyers have never had so many great devices to choose from. Can the 10 win back HTC's past glory in the smartphone space?

2. Review: Xiaomi Mi Max Is Big and Beautiful, but Is That Enough?

Xiaomi was one of the first Chinese companies to bring their high-specced, low-priced smartphones to the Indian market. The brand is here again, after their flagship Mi5 released in April, with the huge – almost 6.5-inch – Mi Max.

4. Android N Revealed! It's Nougat, Not Nutella or Neyyappam

The wait is over with a sweet release, as Android N finally has a name! The new version is not called Nutella, much to everyone's surprise but Nougat.

The news comes after last month's I/O (annual conference where huge announcements are usually made) where Google allowed users to submit their suggestions online for the new name.

5. Review: LeEco Le 2 Is All About Performance & Design

LeEco is back with its latest set of toys as part of their 2016 product portfolio. The Le 2 is the logical successor to the Le 1S which we felt was bang for its buck in January.

But it seems the brand is intent on upping the ante, so as to rival other products like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and the Moto G4 Plus.

Priced at Rs 11,999 it will be interesting to see if LeEco has managed to add more to the Le 2, especially since the price has been kept intact.
