hi akshat,
i have bought a iball sprinter 4g smartphone . please tell me whether its a good smartphone or not and tell me about its life expectency..
Franky it is an average smartphone and there are much better options out there. Also these is no way to tell the life expectancy of smartphones.
then should i return it? also tell me some good smartphones in the same price range of 5.5 k
thnks
In 5.5k you will find such smartphones only but if can up your budget to 7k then you can get Coolpad Note 3 Lite and Lenovo Vibe K5 which are much better in terms of performance and specifications. Here are some good phones in 5k budget https://www.akshatblog.com/best-smartphones-under-5000-rs/

Hi
I am using a lenovo 6600plus it’s only 2months old but in the past 5days my phone got stuck 3 times while trying to play movies, only videos which I used to play and watch were not getting played but other functions like browsing, YouTube were all normal I tried every player the result was same, so I restarted my phone(also restored) and it was normal for a day and the next day the same came up.it all started when I connected my phone to my friend’s computer to get some movies they were not playing so I deleted them thought it was a video problem. and again after a day I connected my phone to my friend’s computer and copied the same moveies they played fine then after 2days it started acting like this. So I deleted them all now and restarted my phone. whenever this problem comes up other functions like browsing,YouTube are normal but only the videos are the ones which are not getting played ,can you please tell what has happened.
Really a strange issue. I suggest you to Factory Reset your phone.
I even did that
Ok and have you tried VLC player?
Yes
Ok.. then i think you may have to contact the service center for this.
