SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive : Reivew

Android is amazing.  It has created many different standards of new features at which it operates. "These many standards" allowed manufacturers to produce a accessory which combines some old standards with the new one and ultimately produce a Hybrid Product. SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive or Pen Drive is an excellent example. Making use of OTG functionality available in Android Phone ( of course not all), this Dual USB Drive connects to your Android Phone Via Micro USB port, which ultimately removes wires of OTG Cables that were originally used for it.

It's available in three configurations : 16GB, 32GB and 64GB

Starting the review from Build Quality, it's disappointing. The device measures 1.5 inch long and 0.75 inch wide which is easy to carry around either in your pocket or a laptop bag. But considering the build quality you often feel you're going to break it, Yes! It's made out of cheap plastic with two plastic sliders covering the connection part.

Unfortunately the computer connection port as well as Micro USB connection port are USB 2.0, which means you won't be able to take advantage of High Speed USB 3.0 computer ports. It'd have been a lot faster and better if at least the computer connection port was USB 3.0.  The devices can be operated from basically any file manager on Android  like ES File Explorer. The File Transfer speed is like 10-18 MBPS which is not bad, but a USB 3.0 is much faster.

Overall It's a good product for the people looking for more compatibility between the multiple devices. This device is also a good choice for phones with a low storage like Moto G, Moto E which supports USB OTG Functionality. Yes the build quality is bad but how much can you expect from a product that costs 587 INR ($9.43)  for it's entry level version.

Nexus 6 is not that expensive

"Nexus 6"- Google's Flagship for Nexus Line-up of smartphones is little bit different from it's elder siblings in terms of principles. Instead of High specs, Average build quality and Average Camera, it's just premium. So directly it can considered Google's first step towards Android Silver or typically premium Line Up of Nexus Smartphones. Now Nexus 6 is priced at $649 which isn't affordable in any sense considering Nexus 5 to be priced around $300. While there's criticism and controversy combined on it's reputation, I still Feel it's the the one of the best "Bang for the Buck" smartphones around  $600-$700 price tag in this world.

Guys Don't forget the Quality


The quality of this Nexus 6 is top-notch and certainly there's no doubt about it. Of-course since it's the "Blown Up Moto X 2014"  it benefits from a Good Camera, Battery and Build Quality, while some may definitely argue with iPhone concept, but Hey Look the price. I don't really think it's advisable to migrate from Nexus 5 to Nexus 6, because Nexus 5 still is an awesome smartphone with end specs and a 5" screen. The Nexus 6 features 2k display which is directly compared to the phone like G3, Note 4 featuring them but certainly they're priced higher.

Ultimately Decision Remains Yours


No Matter how much you try to prove your point, decision still remains yours. I'm not saying Nexus 6 is cheap, but it's not that expensive for what it is being criticize in the world. I know it's not perfect, it still has problems with Nexus letters falling apart from the back, the pinkish tint in the screen on lower brightness and high exposures in pictures from 13MP camera, but it's still bang for the buck smartphone with Android Updates Guaranteed upto 18 months for the price around $600-700. So Guys what do you think, share your thoughts in comments down below.
