| ![]() I agree with Ajay. Neo's are stripped down versions of flagship devices. For me buying a Neo would be like comparing a fully loaded hatch vs base variant sedan both which are priced similar. Now @ ₹23k Note II feels absolute VFM as compared to Note 3 Neo priced around ₹25k. Anyways its a never ending discussion which device is better. I guess I will hunt around and read around a bit more between Moto X & Note II before jumping. Regards, |

| ![]() Is there an app that lets me measure signal strength of different mobile service providers? I am fed up of Airtel's crap network in my home but I'd rather not have to buy 5 SIM cards to ascertain the quality of the phone network, if I can avoid it. Since I don't have a photo ID proof in chennai, buying every new SIM card is a bit of a project. Thanks in advance. |

I need something better. Basically I don't care one hoot about Airtel's network having a network that's outright awesome everywhere if I don't get the signal in my house. Right? I need something that tells me that at this location where I am standing here's the networks - airtel XX dBm, vodafone YY dBm etc etc. Which app can tell me that? | |

I would trust BHPians to be more forthright than "paid" reviewers. Just like our official reviews are miles ahead of mag reviews and show up all the blemishes honestly. | |

![]() I just came across this review so posted it, i guess by a weeks time there will be umpteen number of reviews like this and once a Bhpians review is available we can ascertain how much those online reviews differs. This reviews lacks one basic thing like voice call quality, a basic thing that we buy phone for ![]() | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() BTW, a piece of art, though bloody expensive, has been launched in India called the LG G3. The 2 gb ram model costs 48k and the 3 gb ram model costs 51k or something. |

I used 'Cellmapper' an andoid app that tells you about the signal strength. Saying about Cellmapper, it ofcourse tells you only about the SIM inside, so I dont think with one single SIM in hand, you can get info abt the dbM levels of multiple providers as a report against your current location. Background: I used this app, after I felt I had enough of this honeymoon with Airtel and shifted to Aircel, just for one single reason that Airtel signal "started" not reaching inside my house more than a bar or two. Also, the situation was, Airtel signal was previuosly good within my hall and other areas indoor, but just about 7-8 months back, it got deteriorated and made me run outside everytime a call was received. It is not that I didnt follow up complaining about this. I did it religiously for continuous 7-8 months, through Cust desk, E-mail, sms, appelate /nodal level, twitter etc. a person indeed came and ascertained with his machine that signal is low, still the Airtel idiots didnt do ANYTHING about resolving this. Aircel signal is next to excellent inside my house now. I am happy. There are few roaming issues, since Aircel as such is not in KL where I visit once every few months, so whenever I am going from TN to KL, data roaming charges is a negative, but I can find alternatives for such short durations. There is something that I heard of - opencell id. But apart from reporting your stats, I dont find if it provide with crowdsourced info too.. Any way I havent tried that app, due to lack of reviews/info on this aspect. | |

Our wait has now started. FK would have delivered as promised. Time for you to deliver - your first impressions! ![]() Most important questions: - Is the phone blazing fast? (I was underwhelmed in a recent experience but I realize it may be an individual piece). - How is the call quality? - How is the camera quality? |
