Gadget reviews: HP Envy X2, Panasonic Lumix, HTC Droid DNA and more

FEATURES
>> 25-600 mm lens, 12.1 MP, CMOS sensor
The DMC-FZ200 is an excellent super zoom . You can keep a constant aperture of F2.8, meaning considerable improvement in low light and at maximum zoom. This is because you can choose higher shutter speeds at low ISO settings. The electronic viewfinder is brilliant and the rotating LCD offers great visibility, while the auto mode is very effective. However, it's a little more expensive than other super zooms (albeit with a better lens), images are a tad noisy and there is problem with redeye correction.

Rating: 2.5/5
FEATURES
>> 1GHz dual-core processor, 2,500 mAh battery
>> 8 MP rear & 1.3 MP front camera
India now has the world's biggest phone, though if that's a good thing is debatable. The 5.9-inch device might have crossed the line on size and is pretty heavy at about 280 gms. Only a stellar display could have saved it but the 480x800 pixels is disappointing. Despite it being almost pure Android 4.0 (Jelly Bean would have been better), it's got a few too many bloatware. The 1GHz dualcore processor is good enough but RAM details have not been disclosed. The price and dual SIM capabilities are the device's attractions.
Rs 59,990
Rating: 3/5
FEATURES
>> 1.8 GHz Intel Atom Z2760, 2GB RAM
>> 64GB flash memory, 8 MP camera
The Envy is sleek with an aluminium body and is a light tablet (1.5 pounds), while the dock attaches and releases very smoothly. The display (1366x768) was adequate but viewing angles could have been better. Processing was the same as that of a netbook, not slow but not very fast either. Windows 8 was a solid performer as well. Working on it as a tablet was great with fluid manoeuvring. But, it is average on battery life (7 hours as a tablet, 11 hours with the dock) and the keyboard is cramped.

FEATURES
>> 1.5 GHz quad core Snapdragon S4, 2GB RAM
>> Android 4.1 (Jellybean), 8 MP camera
The Droid is built to last with a polycarbonate back lined with aluminium sides. The powerhouse quad-core engine, combined with Jellybean, makes for a heady product (though gamers might find a few glitches). The USP is, unarguably, the magnificent 5-inch 1080p display with the IPS panel, also known as Super LCD3. You don't have to strain even in direct sunlight. The camera might not add to the Droid's covetousness but it's no deal breaker. It's weak on battery life and you're stuck on memory with no microSD slot.
Rs 13,700
Rating: 2/5
FEATURES
>> 1.4GHz Cortex-A8 processor, 1 GB RAM,
>> 1024x600 display, 3.2 MP rear camera
The Lite has a solid build but and yet feels and looks great (think matte aluminium and white plastic). The best thing about it is the lack of opering system modifications, though it is still running Android 4.0 (ICS) and not Jelly Bean. That's about it, only dampers ahead. Deemed a budget tablet, it runs on a single core processor (perceptible lag), the display is only 1024x600 (poor for any tablet), and battery life and camera are less than stellar. There are better 7-inch devices available for about the same price.
