OnePlus 7 Pro - True Flagship by OnePlus

OnePlus 7 Pro receives A+ rating by Display Mate, says the company

 Ever since OnePlus launched their first smartphone in the market OnePlus One named as 'Flagship Killer' it was one of the best value for money phones in the market at that time. But OnePlus One was not a True flagship and was lagging in some areas or the other. Since then, there have not been any major changes to their smartphones because it could never compete against any of the flagships against its main rivals like Samsung and Apple and it seems like OnePlus is going to change that with their OnePlus 7 series smartphones.

The display panel of the One Plus 7 Pro is also claimed to have received the 'Safety for Eyes' certification from VDE Testing and certification institute. A rumor earlier this month mentioned that the OnePlus 7 Pro would sport a 90hz QHD+ display. Although OnePlus has, so far, brought flagships with Full-HD displays. So, this would be the first time, the company would be using Quad HD display in their smartphone.

Things you probably shouldn't do on your Whatsapp !!

WhatsApp account ban - Things you must know!!

India is the country with the biggest user base for WhatsApp and there over 200 million WhatsApp users in India and the number is growing. But as more people join the social platform, people misusing the app are also growing. Especially, when it comes to fake rumors and news including Mob Lynchings.

WhatsApp has banned more than 2 million accounts every month, over the last three months and will ban yours if you do any of these things and recently, WhatsApp banned TDP Rajya Sabha MP CM Ramesh's account. WhatsApp in an eleven-page document explains the reason behind it and states that it bans account at three stages.

Blocking at registration - 

In the very first stage, WhatsApp blocks users account during the registration process when WhatsApp sends One Time Password via SMS or Phone call to confirm you have control over the phone number and SIM card. But WhatsApp will ban your account if your phone number has been recently abused or if the network connection used for registration has been linked with any suspicious behavior.

Blocking at messaging -

If any spammer or hacker surpasses the registration process, then messaging is the second stage where WhatsApp can ban your account. And there are four conditions you need to comply with to use WhatsApp safely -

• WhatsApp will ban your account if you send suspicious links to others
• WhatsApp can detect a suspicious account by taping the intensity of user activity.
• WhatsApp will block your account if you send 100 messages under 15 seconds within five minutes of registration
• WhatsApp will block your account if you create dozens of groups or add thousands of members in an existing group under five minutes of registration.

And if you get the message from someone without indication of 'typing' then it is better to block that contact from WhatsApp as it could be any spammer or hacker and even WhatsApp mechanism will automatically detect it and ultimately ban that account.

Blocking on basis of negative feedback -

WhatsApp will block your account if someone reports your account due to negative feedback or your account has received a number of blocks.

Apart from these things, you must know basic things about using WhatsApp, you should not share inappropriate content like provocative, crime promotional, hatred against any religion or caste. Also,  you should not try to hack WhatsApp server. So, all these things are steps towards a better social environment on the platform.

Foldable phone from Xiaomi ??

Xiaomi's Foldable phone allegedly spotted in a leaked video

When Samsung showcased the raw version of its foldable phone on a Samsung's Developer Conference in San Francisco. It builds up the hype as to be the world's first foldable phone and the fact that Samsung has used its own 'Infinity Flex Display' which is a foldable display by Samsung and the foldable phone would be in mass production from March 2019. But for now, Xiaomi is back in the news for the folding tablet leaked in a video purportedly made by Xiaomi. 

There is a mobile phone tipster Evann Blass by the twitter handle @evleaks. So, he tweeted the video and in his tweet, said he can't vouch for the authenticity of the video and that the device is purportedly made by Xiaomi.

 If we talk about the details in the video, it can be seen that the tablet can be seen folding from the right side than from the left side and after the tablet has been folded, it looks like a phone with a wide display. Also, the tablet seems to be running on Android which is very similar to Xiaomi's MIUI and the system language of the leaked device appears to be Chinese. And it also uses swipe gesture control from Android - Swipe down from the bottom of the screen to go back home. Also, blass tweeted, that the device is capable of charging other phones or watches. The video has been shot in a very dark room, and it doesn't reveal many details about the device's looks apart from the screen and the folding mechanism. This is not confirmed yet whether it is the device by Xiaomi or any other mobile manufacturer. So, we would request our users to take it just as a rumor until it gets confirmed.

Mediatek Helio P90 - Flagship grade Midrange processor !!

MediaTek Helio P90 - Best Midrange Processor !!

When it comes to Mediatek processors, they were not as good as they are today because when we talk about MediaTek a few years ago, they were not best at what they have been doing, because when it comes to chip-making, Qualcomm has always been the king because earlier, MediaTek had to fix some of the issues in their mobile phone processors because everybody had faced common issues in almost every MediaTek processor like heating and unresponsiveness.

But talking about today, the extent at which MediaTek have improved is commendable and one of the best examples of that is MediaTek's Helio P90 processor which was launched by MediaTek in China.

Now, let's talk about the specifications and features of the processor.

Specifications - 

When it comes to specifications, Helio P90 is powered by an octa-core processor which is based on 12nm architecture and consists of Cortex-A75 processor with two cores clocked at 2.2Ghz and Cortex-A55 processor with six cores clocked at 2.0Ghz. This processor includes PowerVR 9946 GPU for handling the graphics-intensive tasks And also MediaTek has focused a lot on AI

and the processor includes APU 2.0 chip based on fusion architecture technology for handling the AI tasks such as scene recognition, and AR avatars etc. and has 4 times more processing power than previous generation P chipsets Also, this chip includes a triple image processing unit which will support features like video calling stabilization in real time. Other specifications and features include -

1. This processor can support phones with up to 8GB [1866Mhz LPDDR4x] memory
2. Display resolution of up to Full-HD+ 
3. Single camera up to 48-megapixels and dual camera support up to 24-megapixels + 16-megapixels.
4. Connectivity features like advanced Cat 12/13 4G LTE modem with 4x4 MIMO, 3CA, 256QAM, dual 4G SIM.

This chip is very capable in terms of AI and comes with all the advanced features like 5 person human pose tracking, 3d pose tracking, and AR/MR acceleration. Also, AI helps a lot in low light photography with enhanced noise reduction. But the most surprising fact is that Helio P90 being a midrange processor has benchmark scores with almost similar as of Snapdragon 845 which is a flagship-grade processor by Snapdragon. So, if numbers are to be believed Helio P90 is almost equal to Snapdragon 845. If this would be the pace with which midrange processors like Helio P90 would improve then in no time, midrange processors would be as capable as flagship processors. This is a new benchmark set by MediaTek in terms of processor.

The device comes with a 6.3 inch full-HD+ [ 1080x2220 pixels ] super amoled infinity display with an aspect ratio of 18.5:9 so, expect great colour reproduction and kinky blacks. Coming to the software, the device runs on top of android oreo 8.0 with samsung's own experience user interface.

Hardware, Storage and battery - 

The device is powered by Snapdragon 660 octa core processor with four cores clocked at 2.2Ghz and the other four clocked at 1.8Ghz. and comes with Adreno 512 Gpu.

Pricing - 

Well, pricing is the only wrong thing about this device and Samsung just made this device too expensive with prices starting from Rs.51,300/- or almost 700$. And this is the primary reason that Samsung does not seem to have any plans to launch this phone in India because at this price point, one can get galaxy S9 in India and a flagship offering is much better than a phone with quad camera setup. Do let us know your opinions on this phone.

Xiaomi Poco Phone - Most Affordable phone with Snapdragon 845 !!

PocoPhone - Xiaomi's Sub-brand made a Revolution !!

Poco F1 - Most Affordable smartphone with Snapdragon 845 !!

When xiaomi first launched in India back in 2014, with the launch of their first smartphone Mi 3 in India, it did not grabbed much eyeballs, because xiaomi back then was not so popular among Indians and did not sold in that much numbers, but xiaomi improved with time and solved the issues with their phones and it was xiaomi back in form with the launch of their Redmi Note series phone which was a great value for money phone with best specs on the market. And it got the attention, it reserved.

So, xiaomi redmi note series had a major role play in xiaomi's success in India and with time it had captured 23% market share and grown so much in three years that no other company could and even dislodged samsung from India's no.1 brand at a time.

Now talking about the present, xiaomi being in such a good position in India. xiaomi still doesn't launch many of its product in India but mainly where xiaomi skipped was that xiaomi stopped bringing its flagship smartphone in India after Xiaomi Mi 5 since it did not performed that well in India and mainly due to strong competition from One Plus. According to reports, Xiaomi is surprisingly launching its latest flagship in India Xiaomi Mi 8 and it's surprising because Xiaomi is also launching Poco in India. I don't know what xiaomi's about to do.

But let's talk about Pocophone for now and Xiaomi launched pocophone on 22nd of Auguust,2018 in New Delhi, India and as first of all let's talk about its price and its variants.

Pricing and Variants -

6GB RAM + 64GB variant for Rs.20,999/-
6GB RAM + 128GB variant for Rs.23,999/-
8GB RAM + 128GB variant for Rs.28,999/- [ Armoured Edition ]

Xiaomi has launched special edition of its Pocophone F1 called the Armoured Edition which basically have Kevlar back and xiaomi says it has used real kevlar on its phone. So,quite frankly special edition is a good addition but does not provide the same value for money as the other two variants provide.

Specifications -

 Xiaomi Pocophone F1 comes with a 6.18 inch FullHD+ display and has an aspect ratio of 18.7:9. It also comes with android Oreo but comes with the xiaomi's fancy skin UI i.e. MIUI 9.0 which is a bit refreshed than before. Now, it is powered by the Qualcomm's flagship smartphone chip Snapdragon 845 and has various RAM options. It also has liquid cool technology which is just like samsung uses on its flagship phones.

Camera and features -

 Talking about the camera, it has a dual lens setup on the back which has a 12- megapixel primary sensor and has a secondary lens which is 5-megapixel depth sensor, along with a dual-LED flash.
On the front, it has a 20-megapixel camera with a notch on the top and a chin at the bottom.It packs in a massive 4000Mah battery which is powerful enough to handle the phone all day long.
Other features include fingerprint sensor with face unlock and Pocophone F1 uses infrared sensors for face unlock which is something similar to samsung's iris unlock but not as adavanced as iphone's 3d face recognition technology which is very sophisticated. It also comes with a heasdphone jack,dual 4G VoLte support and with all the bells and whistles of 2018.

Competiton -

Now where things get interesting is that now there will be a stiff competition between the Asus Zenfone 5z, Honor Play and Xiaomi Pocophone f1 as all these phones come with the qualcom's flagship smartphone chip and are launched in similar price ranges between Rs.20,000/- to Rs.30,000/-
But, overall currently Pocophone F1 seems to be the winner between these three as it is a wholesome package for performance,battery life and display and the most important factor that it is value for money so, it is quite a phone made for Indians and I think India was the perfect place for Xiaomi's Pocophone global launch as Pocophone F1 is worth every single penny.

But the main two companies were samsung and xiaomi so let's talk about them in detail -

According to Biancco, samsung and xiaomi smartphone users are the ones to visit their service centres most frequnetly and there are mainly two smartphones of these companies are there which is making their customers to do so because t and those smartphones are Samsung's Galaxy S7 and Xiaomi's Redmi note 4 and the point is that Redmi note 4 is one of the best smartphones sold in terms of numbers which made Xiaomi India's no.1 brand and coming to samsung, S7 was a fantastic smartphone and it had one of the best sales of samsung's S series flagship grade smartphones and the smartphone also made some great sale numbers even on 2017.

Samsung Galaxy S7

 

Samsung is the worst brand when it comes to performance - 

According to the research done by Biancco, 34% of samsung smartphone users have the most frequent visits to their service centers and after samsung, comes xiaomi where 13% of xiaomi smartphone users have the most frequent visits to their service centers and after that comes motorola, L.G. Nokia and then comes One Plus. Report charts released by Biancco -

                                  Source - Biancco

Why it happens ?

After all this, you may think that why these companies had so much of issues in their phones and especially samsung, simple answer to that is India is not a market where flagship smartphones of these companies is sold in huge numbers when compared to the numbers of low-end and midrange smartphones sold in India. Both of these smartphone companies has excellent selling units per month but those devices are mainly budget and mid range smartphones and these smartphones mainly being budget smartphones does not have that build quality as of flagship smartphones and these smartphones have low end processor and graphic which does not have that long life but here another shocking fact is that Samsung Galaxy S7 was a flagship grade smartphone and still had issues but mainly it was due to software issues not hardware mainly due to the fact that samsung's UI had many bugs and was not well optimized.

Asus Zenfone 5z - Latest tech

Asus Zenfone 5z - Setting new benchmark

Hello Guys, welcome back to my blog so today I will be giving you all the details that you need to know about the newly launhed Asus Zenfone 5z.

After launching Zenfone Max pro with its impeccable pricing and specs and shaking the lower-end smartphone segment since, it was totally worth it. Now, Asus has stepped into flagship smartphone segment as well and I should say asus is back again with a bang !!

Asus has launched Zenfone 5 series of its smartphones in India today but the star of the show was Asus Zenfone 5z. So let's talk about what makes it so special.

Asus Zenfone 5z

DESIGN and CAMERA - 

firstly, let's talk about the design so, it is a glass sandwich phone meaning it has glass both at the front and at the back as well and covered with the protection of corning gorilla glass and it also has a notch at the top and a chin at the bottom which is similar to that of One plus 6 and Honor 10. It has a screen to body ratio of 90% and now talking about the camera, it has a vertical dual rear camera setup at the back which is 12 megapixel sony IMX363 primary camera with an aperture of f/1.8 with OIS and secondary camera is an 8 mega pixel 120-degree wide angle lens with an aperture of f/2.2 and also supports face unlock.

SPECIFICATIONS -

Asus Zenfone 5z is a latest flagship offering from asus in the Indian market and right away talking about the heart of the core, it is powered by a Snapdragon 845 Soc clocked at 2.8Ghz coupled with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM with Adreno 630 gpu and comes with 64,128 and 256GB of on board UFS 2.1 storage. Also, asus has also put AI to its best use and comes with some really useful AI features.

The phone sports a 6.2 inch fullHD+ 1080 by 2246 pixels display with an 18.7:9 aspect ratio and runs on ZenUI on top of Android 8.0 Oreo. It has all the connectivity options like dual band Wi-Fi, 4G VoLTE, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, FM radio, Usb type-C and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The phone is powered by a 3300mAh battery underneath the phone and comes with Quick charge 3.0 bundled with 18W charger.

PRICING - 

Now, these specifications do not make the Asus Zenfone 5z special instead what makes it special is the price. Base model with 64/6GB RAM is priced at Rs.29,999/- [435$] and 128/6GB RAM and 256/8GB RAM is priced at Rs.32,999/- [479$] and Rs.36,999/- [536$].

Now, talking about its competition Honor 10 is similarly priced and even the base model with same price has 6GB RAM and 128GB storage but another competitor One plus 6 is priced more than both of its rivals. 

COMPETITION - 

Talking about the conclusion, if you are on a budget and want a phone under 450$ or Rs.32,000/- than you can choose between Honor 10 and Asus Zenfone 5z. One last thing, that competition between these brands is proving to be very useful for us as we can get flagship grade spec phones under such prices and that is something which we never imagined before.

Also, let me know your thoughts on the comments section.

VIVO NEX - Future Smartphone tech

Everything you need to know about Vivo Nex smartphones is here !!

VIVO NEX 

Before talking about Vivo Nex smartphones, I want everybody to think of a common smartphone of 2018 which either comes with a notch at the top and a chin at the bottom or with a tall aspect ratio of 18:9 or 19:9. Since now, smartphones with tall aspect ratio and under display fingerprint sensors have become the talk of the town.But I am more than happy to announce that enough of that notch smartphones and now concept phones like Vivo Apex have almost become a reality with the upcoming launch of new Vivo Nex smartphones.

• Now talking about Vivo Nex smartphones, Nex is a sub-brand of Vivo and with the launch of Nex smartphones in India on 19th July,2018. It is confirmed that vivo is expanding its Nex brand to India.While there are two versions of Nex smartphones in China it is not yet confirmed that Vivo will launch both of its Nex smartphones in India.

• One of them is Vivo nex A and the other one being Vivo Nex S likely having more chances to come to India but both of these phones come with different specifications and have different RAM and storage configurations.

Vivo Nex 

DESIGN & CAMERA - 

• Design is the usp of Vivo Nex S and Vivo Nex A smartphones since, it does not have any notch or bezel at the top and it has a screen to body ratio of 91.4% which comes with the pop up camera system and includes 8 megapixel sensor at the top and comes with a Full HD+ 6.59 inch display with a resolution of 1080 by 2316 pixels. On top of that it comes with a 4.0 Funtouch OS based on Android Oreo 8.1 and also both of them have a dual rear camera setup which comes with primary 12-megapixel IMX363 including Four axis OIS and secondary camera with 5-megapixel sensor but the sour point is that it doesn't come with under-display fingerprint sensor and has a normal fingerprint reader at the back. 

SPECIFICATIONS - 

• Talking about the specs, Vivo Nex A comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage on the other hand, Vivo Nex S comes with Flagship grade Qualcomm Snapragon 845 SoC coupled with 8GB of RAM and comes with two storage options, one with 128GB and another one with 256GB of internal memory.

• Also, both of these smartphones come with dual sim options and has all the connectivity features like Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, 4G LTE, dual band Wi-Fi and comes with USB 2.0 and pack a 4000mAh battery.

• Vivo Nex A is priced at Rs.40,400/- in China and Vivo Nex S with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at Rs.47,000/- in China and the other variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage is priced at RS.52000/- in China.

   Talking about the launch, the smartphones will launch in India on 19th July,2018 and the company has also started sending invites to the media. But, Vivo Nex S looks more sensible option in India because Vivo Nex A with mid-range processor is a bit on the pricier side. Also, expect Vivo Nex S to come between Rs.45,000 to Rs.55000/- So, what you people think about Vivo Nex smartphones and is it a better choice than other value for money options like One plus 6.
