Lava Connect M1 Review (Android 6.0 Mocordroid) with Facebook and WhatsApp

Here is the Lava Connect M1 feature phone review, and after going through this review you will agree that it is much better than the Nokia 3310. It’s a feature phone that will work with your Reliance Jio SIM and you can run Facebook as well as Whatsapp.

Inside the box you will get the handset, user manual, a standard quality earphone, charger with cable attached (micro USB) and warranty card. SAR Value as mentioned on box < 1.6W/Kg.


The Connect M1 is a dual SIM handset and it supports 4G with VoLTE, this means you can use your Reliance JIO SIM on this feature phone. The good part is that this handset is running Mocordroid based on Android and Facebook comes preinstalled, you can also watch YouTube videos on this handset.

Lava Connect M1 Performance

This is a feature phone meant for making and receiving calls. Though performance is good if you have used a smartphone before you are not going to like it. There is Facebook and you can also manually install apps by downloading the APK from the net.


Do note there is no Google Play access.
This is a good, simple feature phone if you want to use mainly for calling. Best part is JIO works and you can make calls directly from the dialler.
There is USB Tethering option and option to use USB-PC net sharing, and it worked for me. When you enable net sharing you get Windows XP, vista, 7 and Windows 8 operating system options, I am using Windows 8.1 and it worked.

Lava Connect M1 Camera  Review

Camera quality is not good.



LAVA Connect M1 back panel


Camera Rating : 1 out of 5

Other features

  • Loudspeaker was loud
  • No issues using Reliance Jio
  • Incall sound was also good.

How to Install WhatsApp on Lava Connect M1


Whatsapp does not come pre-installed but I was able to install the same, it also means you can download other apps too. The process is different, you will need to search for the APK file on the internet and download the package and then transfer the APK on to the Lava Connect M1.



Once you do that use the file manager and go the APK, click it to install. You will need to enable unknown sources, and then the APK will install. Do check the video review, I have shown how to install Whatsapp on Lava Connect M1 and you can also see it in action.

Lava Connect M1 Battery Review


Battery capacity : 1750 mAh
Charging Time : up to 3 hours using travel charger provided
Battery Life : 3 to 4 days

Verdict

The Lava Connect M1 is a feature phone that is Android based, you can install apps if need be (some apps), I was able to install whatsapp. It sounds good but the display quality is not that great and add to it the alphanumeric input method is too slow, especially when you have used a smartphone before.


But considering the features that this feature phone gives it is worth the price, though as I already mentioned it is basically made for making and receiving calls.

Lava Connect M1 VS Nokia 3310

The New Nokia 3310 is 2G phone and this one the connect M1 is 4G VoLTE, and you now know what this feature phone is capable of. If you are using Reliance Jio SIM and planning to get a feature phone, makes sense to go for M1.

Rating : 3.5 out of 5

Lava Connect M1 is now available for $45 US Dollars or Rs. 2,899.

Jabra Elite 65t wireless earphones Review 2018

Jabra Elite 65t wireless earphones Review 2018 Nearly a year ago, we reviewed the Jabra Elite Sport, the longtime wireless audio maker's first venture into the true wireless space. You could say that they were ambitious with their approach, considering the earbuds attempted to appeal to both music and fitness enthusiasts. Unfortunately, it didn't help either that the Elite Sport were slapped with a $250 price tag, making them one of the more expensive mainstream options at the time. During CES 2018 early last month, Jabra introduced two new truly wireless headphones – the Jabra Elite 65t and the Elite Active 65t. Naturally, this strategy is a departure from the company's previous efforts, as it now tries to cater to the two opposing demographics with dedicated products. The Elite 65t, in particular, is marketed as "being engineered for the best true wireless calls and music experience." That's yet again a bold claim, so we'll find out how it stacks...

Apple devices are butt dialing 911 from its refurbishing facility 2018

Apple devices are butt dialing 911 from its refurbishing facility 2018 Since October, emergency responders in Elk Grove and Sacramento County, California have received over 1,600 false alarm 911 calls coming from an Apple repair and refurbishing site in the area. It’s not clear if the calls are coming from Apple’s iPhones or Watches but each time a call originates out of the Elk Grove facility, there’s no one on the other end of the line and it’s gumming up the emergency response system in the area, draining resources and possibly slowing down response teams in actual emergencies. “The times when it’s greatly impacting us is when we have other emergencies happening and we may have a dispatcher on another 911 call that may have to put that call on hold to triage the incoming call,” police dispatcher Jamie Hudson told Sacramento CBS Local News, which first reported these incidents. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department says it has also received these false calls, telling...

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018 Microsoft is bringing something big into their hands , as the patent that was granted last week in the United States has shown. This patent had already emerged at the end of October of this year, where its resemblance reminded us of that mythical Microsoft Courier , which never saw the light. Now we have new clues that in Redmond are working on a device that is known under the code name of ‘Andromeda’ , which could be the rumored and expected Surface Phone. And now, thanks to designer David Breyer, we can have a clearer look at what this device would look like if it were real. Microsoft Andromeda David Breyer decided to get down to work and carefully read the Microsoft patent as well as the schematics and details, this with the aim of making a 3D recreation of the device and so we can understand a little what they are doing in Redmond. The first rumors, the new patent and the examples shown with the Courier sho...
