Elephone P8000 (iberry Auxus PRIME P8000) Review

Elephone P8000 _fonearena-10

Choice is good. Yes or No? That is a statement that has been debated by many over the course of history and I am a believer of the former. I believe that the more the number of choices you have the better it is. Sure, it does get tougher to make the right choice as the lines between the choices gets thinner with each additional choice. This is the case with smartphones in India particularly in the sub 18k price segment. A while back we didn’t have much choice in this segment. You got a number of models that you could count on your fingers and most often than not each one was very different from one another and each came with a set of flaws that you had to live with. Fast forward to the introduction of the Moto G and Moto E as well as Xiaomi’s entry into India where users started getting better value for money and no longer had to compromise with the handset they got. In 2015, we now have more brands than we had handsets in this price range a few years back. Each brand brings us good value for money with their own twist on it trying to tempt users to purchasing their phones. While each does have its drawbacks, the drawbacks are often minimal and each smartphone delivers good value for money. The Elephone P8000 is one such phone that promises just that and is set to enter the Indian market under the iberry branding as the Auxus P8000 Prime. We spent a good amount of time with the device and got to know its positives and negatives. In this review, we will take a look at whether the phone lives up to that promise and whether the Rs 14,990 price tag is worth spending on.

iBerry Auxus Core X8 3G tablet Unboxing

iberry Auxus CoreX8 3G Unboxing-10

iBerry, a manufacturer known for earlier products like the Auxus Nuclea N1 and the Nuclea N2, is now into tablets, with the Auxus Core X8 3G being one of them. Like many of its products, the Auxus Core X8 borrows heavily from Samsung, in terms of design, and that is no surprise, considering how similar the Nuclea N2 looked, with respect to the Galaxy Note 3. Here is a small time manufacturer, trying to ride on a wave created by biggies, but in the end, for some, the product alone matters, and for the price it comes at, the Auxus Core X8 has some really decent specifications and options. So, lets see what it is like on video –
