DC Avanti Review

DC Avanti Car

Whenever I watch movies, which bear the 'man' suffix - Superman, Batman, Spiderman et al, I can't help but realise our dependency on superheroes. Not ours as much as America's. In India, superheroes are a breed, which never really caught on. They were always masked in the form of mythology and that is why even today, when my generation thinks about the Mahabharata, we remember the stories, the enchanted arrows that were flung from one end of the battle ground to the other, defying all laws of physics, the flying chariots, the super human feats that made characters - legends. But clearly, their modes of transport weren't as appealing as the ones of the western world. The Batmobile, the Fantasticar, the Blackbird (X-Men), Wonder Woman's Invisible plane and even though both Spiderman and Superman didn't need one, they both got a Spider-mobile and a Supermobile (not used often, but just in case). All these cars came with the best of technology and were fast; and that's why you can see why the western world is so obsessed with sports cars. For Indians, however, finding inspiration for a sports car, after looking at the flying chariots, was a bit of a long shot, but that doesn't mean that we can't make a sports car.
Well, here it is. It's called the Avanti and the creation comes from - you guessed it right - Dilip Chhabria. Take pride in it because this one's a made-in and made-for-India. The name Avanti reminds you of the Studebaker Avanti, which was America's most powerful four-seater coupe, but clearly on the design front there is a lot that is different and I got a lesson in that, when the car came to our office. Well, nearly half the building came out to see what it was.

DC Avanti

The reactions were astounding, to say the least. "What is it?" they'd say, "a Ferrari?" No "a Lamborghini?" Well I see why you say that but No, "a Porsche?" No and after having given them the name and origin it was their turn to let out a lengthy disbelief - 'Nooooooo!' All that discussion was followed by a selfie session and it took every ounce of our stamina and the building guard to shoo all those loitering away. But let's face it, it's nothing like any of the marquees it was taken for, but the fact that it is capable of arousing those emotions in people is a big plus that goes in its favour.
We were stopped and asked a lot of times and most of the times disturbed, during the shoot, for more information about the car and though we were happy to pass it on, it just made us wonder about the attention this kind of car attracts. Well, it's the sheer showcase of design elements that take you by surprise. The flowing shoulder line that splits right through the centre, the styling element on the hood and the sleek front end with the two large air scoops; all shout 'sports car' and then there is the louvered engine cover, which helps you to sneak a glance at the craftsmanship of the engine (something of an 80s thing)

DC Avanti

The Avanti, then, has all the right elements and deserves the 'sports car' tag, but yes it leans a bit on the traditional side, when it comes to the space frame chassis. All the suspension components, gearbox, body panels and the engine are mounted on this chassis and this makes it stiffer, which is good. This is especially noticeable, when you dive into a corner and want the opposite lock just to kick that tail out and essentially show off. The Avanti does it in the most non-dramatic and non-scary way.

DC Avanti

Powering the Avanti is a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine developing 250bhp. The motor is an off-the-shelf, four-cylinder unit, from a French car manufacturer, and it develops a torque of 340Nm, which kicks in at as low as 2000 rpm, but when you bring it to life, it sounds normal. You expect the engine to crank and a burst of exhaust volume; well, there's none of that drama. But the lack of noise has nothing to do with performance. According to the people at DC designs, it sprints from 0-100km/h in just 6 seconds and there's no reason why we won't believe it. Yes, it's quick and fun to drive and with a ground clearance of 155mm it is tall too and has no problems negotiating any of the speed bumps or potholes on the road. The clutch was a bit heavy and the brakes felt a bit spongy, so you felt it needed a bit more travel to get that bite, but well, it is still work in progress and bleeding the brakes might resolve the issue, to an extent.
What makes it fun is the 6-speed synchromesh manual gearbox. It wouldn't have been a true sports car, if it was automatic, would it? It takes some getting used to the gearbox, but the positioning of the gear box is ideal for a sports car kind of feel. The transmission works well and lifts the 1500kg beast to provide you with power at will. There is no option for paddle shifters yet, but if they could get it in there, nothing like it.

DC Avanti

The interiors of the car are what we were interested in, for we've seen the maker conjure this space into a work of art, in other cars. So what has he done here? For starters, I thought I wouldn't fit in it. A 6 footer, both in height and girth, I wasn't really confident that the sport seats would make for comfortable housing, but surprisingly, once I was in the seat, there wasn't an issue. There wasn't much head room for me, as there was just about a centimetre's distance between my skull and the roof and you also have no option to change the height of your seat.

DC Avanti

Of course, DC offers you a whole range of interior options, from leather carpets to Alcantara seats and headliner and it's all customisable. So if you are planning to buy one, well there's a lot to choose from. The three spoke steering wheel looks nice and chunky, while the big digital instrument cluster adds some attitude. The user interface of the console isn't the best, but you aren't expecting it to be from Bentley or Ferrari, right? There's also a USB, Aux-In and Bluetooth, so all your music needs are covered.
At 35 lakhs, it's the most affordable sports car in India and the order is already piling up. The effort put into making the Avanti shows and certain faults it has, you can let them pass. Considering that the car doesn't come out of the stable of a car manufacturer, we have to applaud this attempt and we hope that future cars from DC will be more refined, as every company learns from its mistakes. The Avanti then is creating a bit of a history and moving away from the world of flying chariots and this is what makes it even more special!

Phonejoy Gamepad 2 Review: A Solid Upgrade

There's no shortage of Android gamepads these days, at prices ranging from just around Rs. 1,000, to between Rs. 5,000 and Rs. 10,000 for international brands like Steelseries and Mad Catz. Most of the gamepads available online are either tiny controllers (which are really not the most comfortable to use), or - as is much more common now - roughly the size (and shape) of an Xbox One controller, with a flip-out handle in the middle where you can attach your phone.
It's a good solution, for the most part, since you don't need a separate stand to prop up the phone when playing, and the large size also means that the controller tends to be comfortable to use during long gaming sessions. The catch is that most of the controllers of this style tend to be a little bulky - you can't exactly slip one into your pocket and carry it around.
A good compromise between portability and comfort is the Phonejoy Gamepad and an improved version of the gamepad is going to be available soon. The Phonejoy looks like a miniature controller - and can be used like one, if you're gaming on a tablet or a smart TV - but it actually splits down the middle and can be stretched like an accordion to wrap around your phone. The result is something like a PlayStation Portable, and if you're a fan of the idea, you can install a PSP emulator from the Play Store, assuming you have a stash of legal PSP games available, of course.
In our review of the original Phonejoy gamepad, we'd noted that we really liked the little gamepad, and found it comfortable to use with (and without) a phone. There were a few issues though - the shoulder buttons were spongy, and the analog sticks were too short to use comfortably, and worst of all, there were some pretty serious compatibility issues.
The new version of the Phonejoy, which we've been using for a week now addresses all these issues, and the result is a controller that is a delight to use with a battery that is still going strong after 10 hours of gaming. Compatibility is also not as much of a problem as it was last year, though the credit for that lies with Android.
The small, yet chunky Phonejoy Gamepad 2 is almost unchanged in terms of design, and while it's a little too thick to just slip into your jeans, it's small enough to put into a jacket pocket or cargo pants. The interlinked metal section in the middle is reassuringly solid looking, and springs back with a snap - this might change over time, but one year down the line, the Kickstarter edition of the original Phonejoy is still feeling pretty solid.
The LG G3 just about fits into the Phonejoy Gamepad 2, though the ideal size is a little smaller - around 5-inches. If your phone is bigger than six inches then it won't fit in the controller - you'll have to prop it up on a stand while gaming instead.
The buttons all feel very solid, and clicky. The D-pad is still a little spongy though - it's better than last year, but this is one area where there is still room to improve. The same is true for the analog sticks - they're a definite improvement over the original, but compared to the full controller style gamepads like the Amkette Evo Gamepad Pro, this is still pretty short, and not as satisfying. It's a necessary compromise to allow you to slip your Phonejoy into your pocket, but it does feel a little stiff as a result.
Connecting the Phonejoy Gamepad 2 to your phone is really simple, and the companion app allows you to find games you can play easily. It divides games into different genres, and also shows the prices, so you can scoop up the best free games if you want. The Phonejoy app also includes a section for emulators, in case you want to have some retro fun.
The overall experience of using the new Phonejoy Gamepad 2 is great, and by now, the library of games that take advantage of this peripheral also looks pretty good, over and above the ever present emulators. The catch is the price - you can get a Phonejoy for $69.90 (approximately Rs. 4,600); that's a high price considering that you can get a branded gamepad like Amkette's for a little over half that price. On the other hand, compared to Steelseries or Mad Catz, this feels like a steal.
Of course, there's also shipping - you'll have to buy it from Phonejoy's website, and then shipping will cost you extra. This also further tilts the value equation.
If you're comfortable with the price, then the build quality of the Phonejoy Gamepad 2 is top notch, easily competing with the other international brands. And its design is the best blend of portability and gaming comfort that we've used so far. We feel that in India specifically, the cost of shipping coupled with cheaper local alternatives (which might be less portable, or less durable, depending on what you buy) make the Phonejoy a hard sell here, but it's still a pretty good buy. Is that worth paying a premium for? Only you can decide.

InFocus M812 Review: Unibody Metal Goodness

The name InFocus might ring a bell, as sure enough, you would have seen at least one of its  projectors in offices or in tech magazines by now. It's an American company that's well known for video and communications devices, and like most, has branched out into producing smartphones as well. Its latest flagship, the M812, launched this week along with two more handsets. We'll be putting it through the grind today to see if it's worth your time and money.

Look and feel
The InFocus M812 is the successor to the M810, which the company launched this July. The new smartphone ditches the glass back of the M810 for a unibody aluminium chassis. The result is quite brilliant as the phone feels sturdy and very premium. On one hand, it looks very similar to the Apple iPhone 6 (Review | Pictures), which is not necessarily a bad thing. It's not surprising at all when you consider the original device manufacturer (ODM) for the phone is Foxconn. To avoid getting in hot water with the Californian tech giant, InFocus has added some design elements such as a novelty 4G logo on the back, and positioned the camera module in the center.
It's a Dual-SIM phone and both slots sit on the right side. The SIM1 slot accepts a Micro-SIM but the second slot is a hybrid which will either hold a Nano-SIM or a microSD card. You're more likely to use the second slot for storage since there's only 16GB onboard. This isn't a big deal if you aren't planning on using two SIMs but if you are, then you'll be disappointed. There's also a notification LED hidden within the earpiece grille.
The power and volume buttons are on the left, which isn't the most convenient of places. We would have liked it if the power button had been on the opposite side which is much more common. The 3.5mm headphone socket sits on the top while the Micro-USB port and speaker grille are on the bottom. 
Around the back, we have the 13-meagpixel camera sensor, dual-LED flash unit, and the InFocus logo in the middle. There's a sticker below this with the IMEI number and other details which is quite an eyesore and ruins the otherwise sleek look. The one on our unit started peeling from the edges within days, which is not a good feeling when you hold the phone. There's a very prominent 4G logo just below it, highlighting the phone's LTE capability.
Our review unit didn't come with any accessories but you will get a headset, charger, cable and the manual in the retail box. Overall, the InFocus M812 is a very striking phone to look at, backed by superb build quality. It's fairly slim at 7.38mm, but a bit on the heavier side. The smooth aluminium finish also makes a phone a bit slippery.
Specifications and software
The InFocus M812 is well kitted-out internally. You get a quad-core Snapdragon 801 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, 4G LTE (for India too), Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, FM Radio and USB OTG. Out of the two SIM slots, only SIM 1 supports LTE/3G connectivity while SIM2 is restricted to 2G. The microSD card slot accepts capacities of up to 128GB. The phone also has all the usual sensors including a proximity sensor, an accelerometer, a compass, a magnetic sensor and a gyroscope.
The phone comes with Android 5.0.2 along with a skin called InLife UI 2.0, which is highly customisable. Long-pressing the home screen lets you choose between a simplified layout - where there's no app drawer - or the traditional setup. You can also toggle the ability to access the notification shade by swiping down anywhere on the homescreen. This is very useful on a 5.5-inch display.
The Display sub-menu in the settings app now has an option to enable a blue light filter. This lets you make the display's colour balance much warmer, which can help prevent eye strain over time. It's a very helpful feature, especially if you use your phone to read eBooks a lot. The M812 also supports motion gestures such as turning the phone over to mute a call or answering a call directly when you lift the phone to your ear.
InFocus preloads many apps which could help you with productivity and getting more standby time from the phone. The Backup tool lets you back up or restore data and apps, App Traffic Controls lets you set which apps can send data over 3G or Wi-Fi. Mobile Assistant lets your know how many junk files can be cleaned and which apps are hogging the most resources. Power Detective gives you an in-depth look at your battery usage statistics. Other apps include WPS Office, Safebox (to lock apps and files), the usual suite of Google apps. The interface is quite responsive and uses up around 850MB of RAM, leaving you with 1.5GB free on average.
Performance
The 5.5-inch HD IPS display packs in a 1080x1920-pixel resolution and Corning's Gorilla Glass 3 for added protection. Images appear sharp and vivid and the brightness levels are very good for indoor use, although the screen tends to wash out slightly under direct sunlight. Call quality is also good and the phone latched on to 4G networks wherever available.
InFocus has added a feature called 'NXP Smart Amp' to boost the audio levels. This only works with the internal speaker however, and not the headphones. You can toggle this feature from the notifications shade. Enabling it amplifies the mid and low-range frequencies, but audio tends to distort at high volumes.
Media playback performance is very good, as the M812 handled our high bit-rate test file and other 1080p videos with ease. We found the audio quality to be very good, though we used our own reference earphones since no headset was included with our review unit. The phone didn't heat up much with ordinary usage despite its all-aluminium body, but it did get hot while gaming.
Coming to the benchmarks, the InFocus M812 scored 22,302 in Quadrant and 17,635 in 3DMark IceStorm Unlimited. For some reason, AnTuTu kept causing the phone to shut down mid-way through so we couldn't get a score. That doesn't bode well for high-performance apps, but it could also be an issue with our review unit. Overall performance is good, just as you'd expect from the Snapdragon 801 chip, but we're left a little unsure about the long-term prospects of using this phone, considering that AnTuTu has run perfectly fine for us on hundreds of other devices so far.
The 13-megapixel rear camera does a good job at close up shots, with decent amount of depth of field. Landscapes pictures are also good, but details aren't very distinct if you zoom in. The app interface is designed well and is easy to use. You have a Mode button, which lets you change the shooting mode. Apart from the usual suspects, you also get one called Watermark, which adds a watermark to your image with the date, time location and weather information. You can choose from nine different styles.
You also get options to change the ISO, exposure, shutter sound, and filters, all of which can easily be accessed from a vertical carousel on the left. Low-light pictures are good but with some noise peppered in the background. The dual-LED flash does a decent job of lighting close-up shots evenly.
Video recording is also handled well, with a steady framerate. You can choose slow motion video, which limits the resolution to 480p. The front-facing 8-megapixel camera is very adept at capturing detailed selfies, partly thanks to the large f/1.8 aperture.
(Click to see full-size images)
The InFocus M812 packs in a 2900mAh battery which lasted for 11 hours and 48 minutes in our video loop test, which is respectable. With regular usage, you can easily go a little more than a day before you'll need to charge the phone.
Verdict
The InFocus M812 will go on sale for Rs 19,999 from October 1 exclusively on Snapdeal, though registrations have already begun. In this price range, InFocus has their work cut out for them as they're up against the formidable Motorola Moto X Play which has proven to be the phone to buy for under Rs 20,000 right now. The M812 will be a tough sell at its current price for this reason alone.
Overall, InFocus has done a good job with the design and performance of the M812 and if priced a little lower, could be a solid contender. The build quality and finish is very good and it doesn't hurt that it looks Apple-ish, which we're guessing will appeal to many people. The overall performance of the camera, processor and battery are good too. The blue light filter feature is another feather in the M812's hat. The one major issue we have is that it's not a true Dual-SIM phone so if this is on the top of your list then you'll be torn between having to use a second SIM and a microSD card.
An all-metal phone is tough find in this price segment, which is where the M812 has a unique advantage. However, when you factor in other things such as brand value, timely software updates and long-term support, it's hard for a consumer not to go with the tried and tested names in the industry.

Mahindra to Launch 3 Peugeot Scooters in India? Mahindra to Launch 3 Peugeot Scooters in India?

After acquiring 51 per cent stakes of Peugeot Motorcycles (PMTC), Mahindra Group is now planning to launch a range of scooters in India. According to a report published in Topgear, Mahindra will roll out three Peugeot Scooters in different price brackets and power ranges.
The report says that the three scooters that the company is planning to bring in are - Django, Satelis 125 and Speedfight 3, all of which are already on sale in European markets. The Django 125cc scooter with its retro-styling will take on the Vespa LX 125


The Satelis belong to the motor-scooter category, thus will fight against the upcoming Hero ZIR 150 and Honda PCX 150. Whereas, the Speedfight 3 is an entry-level scooter that is available in different capacities in the European markets. Though, the one we expect to come to India is the 125cc.


Rumour has it that the company might also launch a down-sized version of its highly popular scooter - the Metropolis. The European Metropolis is a three-wheeled 400cc scooter that churns out 37bhp. Though, the company doesn't have a smaller engine for the Metropolis. So if both the companies - Mahindra and Peugeot - are serious about launching it here, they'll have to develop an all new engine for this.


Though the company hasn't officially said anything about its product line-up, we expect all the India-bound Peugeot scooters at the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo.

Review: Pulsar AS 200 and AS 150

The Bajaj Pulsar family is growing in size and the company has now created an 'affordable adventure bike' segment with the AS 200 and the AS 150. And I do stress on 'affordable adventure bike' in the true sense, that segment of motorcycles boasts of great on-road and good off-road capabilities like the Triumph Tigers, KTM Adventure and the BMW GS series. And so, the Pulsar AS series can't really be termed adventure bikes but then maybe they're more affordable touring motorcycles.



But the attempt is there to look adventurous. The design offers some bits of an 'adventure' feel with the quarter fairing blending well with the sculpted tank and the split seats. Things that will catch your eye at first glance are the projector headlamps, tall windscreen and the 10-spoke 17 inch alloys that give it a touring character. The rest of the bike is familiar and styling is largely borrowed from the 200 NS. Unlike the RS 200, which looked a tad over-styled, the AS seems more precise. We like the backlight switchgear and the semi-digital instrument cluster that's easy enough to read with two trip meters, an odometer and a clock.
 

So while the bikes share the same design, the AS 150 gets an all-new, freshly tuned engine which is air-cooled and feels refined and delivers linear acceleration. While Bajaj claims it's all new, it really about the existing Pulsar 150cc engine now being smoother with improved refinement. The 150cc engine also doesn't feel strained around winding roads with a fairly smooth 5-speed gearbox. Mid-range torque is plenty and ideal for regular commuting speeds although at higher revs, some vibrations do creep in.
The 200 meanwhile packs quite a punch and sounds a bit too angry as it does! Quick off the block, the bike feels eager to be pushed around but the engine doesn't feel very refined. The clutch feel is quick too, but the gearbox doesn't feel quite as precise as it should, especially in stop go city traffic, where you usually want to downshift to the right gear.



The telescopic front suspension and the rear monoshocks do their job well to absorb rough roads and the tyres offer good grip. The suspension has been tuned for a softer setup on the AS 150 for city road conditions. On the AS 200, though the ride is stiffer and therefore quite sporty. Given these bikes don't have the tall stance of a regular adventure bike, the AS offers a comfortable and easy riding position. The new perimeter frame keeps the body balanced, dipping in and out of corners with fairly good ease. Brakes do work fairly well but you did wish ABS was offered at least as an option on the AS 200. But hang in there, Bajaj has hinted at a more powerful, fully-loaded adventure bike is on its way.



That really is good news especially as Bajaj has got off to a good start with these affordable adventure bikes. The Bajaj Pulsar AS 150 and AS 200 are priced at Rs. 79,000 and Rs. 92,500, respectively. These prices are ex-showroom, Delhi and should attract buyers who cannot necessarily afford a true-blue adventure bike but are quite happy with a reliable affordable tourer.

Students Build a Rs. 1 Lakh Car That Will Deliver 32Km/l

Every now and then we hear car manufacturers tell us about the research and development that they do when it comes to making cars according to their customer's needs. But an engineering college in Mangaluru, thought long and hard, put together their travel experiences and then decided to make a car for the common man.

A car that will not only be affordable but also be a substitute for those wanting to upgrade from a bike; and that's what they strived at. According to Professor Rounaq Ahmed, "There's sunshine for 6 months here in Mangaluru and it rains the other 6; and most of the people here travel on bikes, which during the rains can be extremely dangerous, which is why we came out with this idea."

The 'we' includes some students pursuing Mechanical Engineering and professors who guided in their pursuit to make a car for the common man. Well, the idea was a simple one; a tried and tested one at that; taking the engine from a bike and making a car of it. We've seen Volkswagen do it and though a concept, it worked well. The idea, therefore is not new but the students and the professors of the Bearys Institute of Technology have made a car by doing just that. They took a 150cc engine from a Bajaj Pulsar and took some additional spare parts to build a car that would be ideal for a place like Mangaluru.

"We wanted to build a car for the common man and we managed to do it with the help of the students. The 150cc, 4-stroke bike engine has been used in this car which can carry two people easily. Since it is a single cylinder air cooled engine this vehicle does not require radiator or cooling systems," said Prof. Ahmed.

The total kerb weight of the car is 280Kgs and this is because of the extensive use of aluminium. The weight has a drastic change on the way it performs. The car can hit a top speed of 80Km/h and return a fuel economy of 32Km/l. We asked about the fuel tank capacity and were told that the tank can be designed to whatever capacity is needed. The car has been tested off-road as well as on road on the outskirts of Mangaluru city, and the results have been promising.



Well, the fact remains that the design of the car is a pretty rudimentary. However, let us not forget that this is merely a prototype and improvements will be made. They've even made a cover for it for when it rains. But making it a proper car will mean more investment. The car was made with a budget of just Rs. 50,000, but with all-new components the single car price may go up to Rs. 1 lakh. However, mass production may also reduce the cost further.

We aren't denying that there are a few things that need to be ironed out but the idea isn't a bad one. Considering that India is the second largest two wheeler manufacturer in the world, it makes perfect sense to develop cars which have an engine of a two-wheeler. Now, who's game?

Nubia Z9 mini With 5-Inch Display, Snapdragon 615 SoC Launched at Rs. 16,999

inShare1

As expected, ZTE has launched its Nubia brand of handsets in India, with the firm making available one of its Nubia Z9 series smartphones to start with - the Nubia Z9 mini. Going on sale from Tuesday exclusively on Amazon India, the Nubia Z9 mini has been priced at Rs. 16,999.

Launched alongside the Nubia Z9 Max in March, the dual-SIM (Nano-SIM) ZTE Nubia Z9 mini smartphone shares most of its specifications with the Nubia Z9 Max, but sports a smaller 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) IPS display. It bears Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and offers a pixel density of 441ppi. The smartphone runs Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with the Nubia UI 2.8 skin on top.

The ZTE Nubia Z9 mini handset is powered by a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (quad-core Cortex-A53 1.5GHz + quad-core Cortex-A53 1GHz) processor coupled with 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM. It sports a 16-megapixel rear camera with Sony IMX234 Exmor RS sensor, LED flash, and f/2.0 aperture, apart from an 8-megapixel front camera with Sony IMX179 Exmor R sensor with f/2.4 aperture. It bears a 2900mAh removable battery, and features 16GB of inbuilt storage expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB).

The smartphone supports 4G LTE connectivity, compatible with networks with in India. Other connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS/ A-GPS, and Micro-USB with OTG. The Nubia Z9 mini weighs 147 grams, and measures 141.3x69.8x8.2mm. It will be available in Black and White colours.

For now, the Chinese company has not revealed when it intends to launch other smartphones in the Nubia lineup in India yet, which include the recently unveiled ZTE Nubia Z9 Classic, ZTE Nubia Z9 Elite, and ZTE Nubia Z9 Exclusive, apart from the Nubia Z9 Max already mentioned. At the time of writing, the Nubia Z9 mini was not yet listed on Amazon India, though customers can register for notifications on the dedicated Nubia page.
