this episode of Android Q&A is brought to you by Norton security all right so I've told you guys before that I think Asia is taken over I mean we need to start learning Chinese have our kids learn Chinese because when it comes to the tech sector China is kicking some serious butt and that's only a good thing for us consumers but not only that you should know that Micromax is doing a lot of moves and shakes when it comes to the mobile tech sector especially with CyanogenMod and we're gonna talk about both companies today so raise your hand if you want flagship power at a cheaper price well last week in Beijing wobbley launched a new high-end smartphone the Huawei honor 6 plus yes they actually called it 6 plus huawei's latest handset is a follow up to the bargain honor 6 which arrived in Europe just last month it is a 5.5 inch 1920 by 1080 LCD display it has an octa-core Curren 925 system-on-a-chip 3 gigabytes of RAM 16 to 32 gigabytes of internal storage and 8 megapixel front and rear camera it has a hundred and twenty eight micro SD card slot support and a whopping 3600 milliamp hour battery the honor 6 plus features two rear 8 megapixel cameras that allow for advanced depth capture and refocusing after you take your shot just like HTC's most recent flagship similar to HTC's ultrapixels the Huawei's dual camera setup also features larger light capturing pixels within the camera sensor these measure 1.98 microns compared to HTC's 2 microns ultra pixels and should help with the camera achieving superior results when it comes to low-light conditions photography buffs may also be interested to know that the sensors app sure can be adjusted from an f-stop of 0.95 all the way to an f-stop of 16 to sweeten the deal Huawei is offering up to a hundred gigabytes of free cloud storage and access to over 8 million global Wi-Fi hotspots and the option to make use of the company's own soft sim data roaming subscription service soft SIM will start up exclusively in China for the first quarter of 2015 and offers access to data for 80 cents per 20 megabytes or approximately 4.5 dollars per day next up is news regarding micro Max's new phablet micro Max's first phone released under the U brand launched last week in India bringing solid specs and CyanogenMod at a price tag of approximately 140 bucks called Eureka the 5.5 inch smartphone will go against other budget-minded devices available in India including phones from Zeo me and oneplus as well as the Google sponsored Android one Eureka is the first device besides the oneplus one to run CyanogenMod over which Micromax secured exclusive rights in india preventing oneplus to continue sales in the fast growing market now think about it that is pretty impressive specs for 140 bucks what do you guys think now what many people have hope for is a fusion of Google Hangouts and Google Voice and it is happening a few months ago the whole world rejoiced as Google finally began integrating hangouts with Google Voice I say began integrating because they never really finished the process while all of that changed as of last week because Google is pushing out an update to the Google dialer app that allows the system to recognize that it's an actual phone dialer once you grab the update through Google Play head to the phone number in the application click it and you should be prompted to either use the Hangouts dialer or the stock phone app now I know many of you just got Android L or Android lollipop but it turns out we have some news regarding Android m and it's good news for those of us who drive with our beloved Android phones Android auto was formally announced earlier this year as Google's big push into automobiles the platform doesn't actually bring Android to your car directly but instead provides a software layer according to a report from routers the next version of Android dubbed Android M won't just play nice with vehicle information systems it'll serve as the brains of the operation reportedly Android M will arrive next year or so as a special version of the OS will be designed specifically for installation into the while it's likely the interface and features will be mostly the same as Android auto the big difference is that we won't need our smartphones to access these features alright so I want to know what you guys think if you think you know 20-30 years ago our automobile market was totally dominated by what we call domestic cars here in North America Ford Chrysler and GM see and then you know foreign manufacturers like Toyota and Honda just made a huge push and now dominate the market even here they're still very very popular and they're considered you know true or not they're considered a little better than our domestic vehicles so will the same thing happen when it comes to our beloved wearables and and mobile devices I hope so because competition is a fantastic thing what do you guys think thanks for watching and word army my
