Asus Zenfone 5 - Worth Every Penny!

"Chota packet bada dhamaal" - as they say in Hindi, a small sized wonder that packs in a lot of punch - and the saying is so apt for my new friend. I am talking about a new phone that joined Our External World as a guest for a few days.

When I first held the Asus Zenfone 5 in my hands I wasn't aware that it had won a lot of awards in 2014 for packing in a lot of features at a super affordable price. And my first reaction was that I was holding a phone that felt surprisingly light. I love my existing smart phone but I never realised it was actually heavy until Asus Zenfone 5 came along.

The Zenfone was put to work right from the first day. It looked gorgeous but as they say, looks can only get you so far; your true aptitude is what takes you far in life. And so Mr Zenfone had to prove his mettle by becoming my blogging partner. I had a nail art planned out on the day Mr Zenfone came along. And so I put it to work to search for a nail art theme. I chose a peacock theme and picked out my polishes. Mr Zenfone helped me click the initial pictures and I was impressed with the 8MP camera that took nice indoor pictures. I liked the control of exposure and ISO in the camera.
Mr Zenfone passed its first test with flying colors.

I will soon share the nail art I did with the polishes you see above. I still need to sort and edit them out. Another thing that was pleasantly surprising was the touch - Mr Zenfone is a smooth operator! I mean the touch is very smooth.

Currently Asus Zenfone 5 comes at a price of Rs 9999 (for the 16GB variant)- at this price point it is a splendid phone indeed. You can purchase it on flipkart or amazon (at a discount offered).

The next day I had to try out a makeup look, as it happens each day I only get time to try these things out in the evening after work. And so the pictures were again to be clicked in artificial light. A makeup look was done and Mr Zenfone helped click some pretty pictures.

Dell Venue 7 and My Karva Chauth Henna & Nail Art

Yesterday was Karva Chauth, a festival celebrated by Indian women to pray for the longevity of their husband. They wake up early morning, pray to God and start a 'Nirjal' fast for the whole day - no food and most importantly no water for the whole day. They open their fast after looking at the moon through a sieve. The whole day is spent adorning hands and feet with henna, dressing up and keeping one self busy so that the thirsty dry throat becomes a non-issue.

I was supposed to do a Karva Chauth special nail art yesterday. But I was superly busy applying henna to my hands and was pretty low on energy and hence skipped doing something too intricate for my nails.

But what I did do was use my Dell Venue 7 tablet to click pictures. I know I have raved and ranted about the fact that I don't like the camera on the tablet. But since I was up early it meant I had all the sunlight I wanted to use the camera of the tablet. So I used it for clicking my henna and my final nails. I also edited the pictures on the tablet.

First let me show you my henna (if you follow me on instagram and facebook you must have already seen these)

An Update On My Blogging With Dell Venue 7

Hi everyone, so I have continued to post using my Dell Venue 7. You must have noticed a lesser frequency of updates here but that is because I haven't been keeping too well lately - the heat is just driving me nuts!

Anyhow I thought I will just update you all on how my blogging experience using the Dell Venue 7 is going and I would like to say I am currently enjoying this little tablet. I still haven't tried calling using the tablet but I plan to do that sometime next week. (Oh and there is a nail art I did recently at the end of this post too!)

I also want to just let you know the basic features of this tablet in a gist - for more details about it you can actually visit this LINK and check it out.

So there are two versions of the Dell Venue out there - the 7-inch version (which I have) and another slightly larger 8-inch version. As I already mentioned the look of this tablet is gorgeous with its plain glass front face with no button markings. You only see a small circular cutout which is there for the front-facing camera. A rubberized ring surrounds the glass which makes sure that even when I place it face down, the glass never touches the surface I place it on.

My New Gadget - Blogging On The Go

Hi friends, have been facing power cuts and a floppy internet connection because of which I haven't been regular lately. Not sure if you follow my other blog, if you do you would know that I have been trying out various devices to find out something that I can use for blogging on the go.

For the next few months I am going to play around with a new gadget that I got. I am writing this post using my new toy! I'm playing around with the Dell Venue 7 tablet that launched some time in January this year. Most of you gadget freaks must have read about it already but I'm here just to share my experience from a blogging perspective. So the posts that you see in the days to follow will be written using this tab (and so you will have to hear my rants on how the Dell Venue is working out for my needs.
