Still missing a perfect selfie as I don't have the #Mobiistar to Enjoy More

Though I tried my hands on various smartphones/mobiles, for so many clicks, I am still missing a perfect selfie shot that can be called the perfect masterpiece as I don't have the #Mobiistar - a selfie camera for a great selfie experience, that can click a perfect selfie in the 120-degree wide angle with the perfect picturesque background, to enjoy more.

Some of the clicks that I liked most included the ones with my wife on a Jet Airways Flight that always reminds me of the Valentine day.

Other Clicks included a click while trying my hands on the Tata Tigor, on its launch, while my hand with my mobile is visible in the background, in the reflection.

Yet another click while I was Live on a TV Debate on the IBN7 - News India 18 TV channel, along with the Spokespersons of BJP & Congress party.

Yet another click with Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, the BJP Spokesperson, who has been followed on Twitter by the Prime Minister Narender Modi, while he has followed me on Twitter. The selfie is not good as the light was not OK, my eyes were closed, but I still include it in my loved one clicks.

Yet another click with Baba Ramdev Ji is a Bad Click. He was on the stage and he just bent down for a Selfie click with me on the stage of Aajtak TV channel.

Yet another click with Asadudin Owaisi, he took my mobile in his hand and clicked the pic. Not at all a good one. But I like it.

There are many more clicks, some are good, some are not so good, but not yet a perfect masterstroke as I am still awaiting the perfect #Mobiistar in my hands.

Hopefully, the new Mobiistar being launched on the 23rd May 2018, will be a perfect mobile with the perfect front dual selfie camera, for the perfect masterstroke, and a great selfie experience as it can capture the pics with a  120° wide-angle shot to get the most of the picturesque beautiful background.

First SUV with a long wheelbase from the four rings: Audi Q5L at the Beijing Motor Show

It stretches 4.77 meters (15.6 ft) long and offers plenty of space for five people and loads of luggage: Audi is presenting the new Q5L at the Beijing Motor Show from April 25 to May 4. The long version of the successful SUV is aimed specifically at customers in China. You can choose between five equipment lines and two performance versions of the 2.0 TFSI – the Quattro all-wheel-drive system is standard.

Audi customers in China traditionally prize cars with roomy interiors and high prestige value. Audi currently offers three models with an extended wheelbase: the A4L, the A6L, and the A8L. Now the Audi Q5L is being added. It will celebrate its world premiere on April 25 at the Beijing Motor Show, one of the most important automobile shows in the world. The Audi Q5L is the first SUV from the brand in a long version. Compared to its original base, its wheelbase and exterior length have each increased by 88 millimeters (3.5 in). This benefits passengers in the rear seat, who gain an additional 110 millimeters (4.3 in) of knee room. Depending on the position of the rear seat system, the volume of the luggage compartment remains unchanged at 550 to 1,550 liters (19.4 – 54.7 cu ft).

Buyers of the Audi Q5L can choose between the Vogue, Lifestyle, Design, Sport, and Sport plus equipment lines, depending on the engine. These differ in many exterior and interior details. Even the Vogue base model of the Q5 L comes with convenient three-zone deluxe automatic air conditioning and the Audi smartphone interface on board. Starting with the Lifestyle model line, the high-end operating system MMI navigation plus and the fully digital Audi virtual cockpit are added. The Design, Sport, and Sport plus lines also include the Bang & Olufsen Sound System with 3D sound.

The Audi pre sense basic and Audi pre sense city safety systems come standard in all lines; in addition, there are assistance packages for the city and for suburban streets. Starting with the Lifestyle line, LED headlights are available as an option with the highly convenient Matrix LED technology. The panoramic glass roof is also standard.

The drive system in the Audi Q5L is a bestseller on the Chinese market: the powerful and efficient four-cylinder Turbo 2.0 TFSI. It is available with 140 kW (190 hp) or with 185 kW (252 hp). It accelerates the SUV from zero to 100 km/h (0 – 62.1 mph) in 8.6 or 6.7 seconds, respectively. According to the Chinese emission standard C5, the consumption with 20-inch wheels is 6.9 or 7.3 liters per 100 km (34.1 or 32.2 US mpg); this corresponds to CO2 emissions of 164 and 174 g/km (263.9 or 280.0 g/mi). A standard seven-speed S Tronic transfers the power to the Quattro with ultra-technology, which is also standard. In the Audi drive select, the driver can choose between the comfort, auto, dynamic, efficiency and individual driving profiles. Wheel formats range from 18 to 20 inches in diameter.

Like the Q5 with a normal wheelbase, Audi also produces the Q5L in a joint venture with FAW-VW in CKD production in the Changchun plant in northern China. A part of the prefabricated components come from Audi's plant in San José Chiapa, Mexico. With the new Q5L, Audi is seeking to further expand its strong position in the Chinese SUV market. Sales will launch in summer 2018.
