Smart Phone Informations

With Android thoroughly dominating the mobile industry, picking the best Android smartphones is almost synonymous with choosing the best smartphones, period. But while Android phones have few real opponents on other platforms, internal competition is incredibly fierce. From sleek devices that impress with premium design, to powerhouses brimming with features, to all-around great devices, and affordable phones that punch above their weight, the Android ecosystem is populated by a staggering variety of attractive phones. But “greatness” is subjective, and sometimes spec sheets and feature lists are not enough to make an idea of how good a phone really is. In this roundup, we’re looking at the absolute best – the Android phones you can’t go wrong with. 1.Google Pixel and Pixel XL Google’s Pixel and Pixel XL are here, and they truly are some amazing smartphones. Not only are they the first phones to ship with the Google Assistant on board, they also come with plenty of 

If today’s expected announcement hasn’t already tipped you off, you’ll soon be able to pay for goods and services by using Android Pay on your smartwatch. Google has updated the description of the Android Pay app on the Play Store to show us how to use the mobile payment service on Android Wear. As expected, the process is quite simple, as all you have to do is hold the watch next to the terminal until the transaction is approved. After its done, you’ll be able to view the details of the transaction on your smartwatch as well as check out previous purchases you have made by scrolling down. Of course, you’ll need an Android Wear smartwatch with an NFC chip in order to use Google’s mobile payment service. Luckily, one of them is expected to be announced today, along with Android Wear 2.0. Google has teamed up with LG and will take the wraps off two smartwatches called LG Watch Style and LG Watch Sport. The latter is the one that will sport an NFC chip and will, therefore

Chromebook N22  Chromebooks have been rising in popularity for quite a while now. They come in many different form factors and specs, but can all achieve essentially the same thing. Running Chrome OS, these notebooks can surf the web, use Chrome applications, and use Google apps in the specialized dock to do many of the things you would be able to do on a Windows or macOS notebook. Because of this, Chromebooks have become increasingly popular over the last couple of years, which is why they’ve made their way into the education sector, something that the Chromebook N22 was designed for in particular. This is the Lenovo Chromebook N22 review. Body The Lenovo Chromebook N22 is made of a thin black plastic material, and weighing just 2.7 lbs, can be thrown in a backpack without having to worry about ruining your back. It uses a clam-shell form factor which houses the keyboard and screen, which is relatively recessed into the top half of the notebook. One thing to note – this is

Apple v. Samsung The Apple v. Samsung Electronics trial is returning to where it all began: the Northern District Court of California. After five years going through the legal system — and reaching the highest powersof the US late last year — a federal appeals court has handed the trial back to the lower San Jose court for it to decide whether additional proceedings are necessary. The case concerns Samsung’s patent infringement on Apple’s iPhone designs and how much it should pay in damages for the offence. Apple claims Samsung copied physical aspects of its phones – like rounded corners, and software features – such as representing apps as a grid of icons. The trial has been ongoing since 2012, during which time Samsung has agreed to pay more than half a billion dollars to Apple. The case reached the Supreme Court towards the end of 2016 and Samsung scored a victory when it was decided that the infringement could only be applied to device components, rather than the ent

Xiaomi Xiaomi took the wraps off the Redmi Note 4X Hatsune Miku limited edition smartphone in China today. Based on the information the company shared with the public, the newly announced smartphone is identical to the Redmi Note 4  (Indian version) but will appeal to all fans of the Japanese hologram pop star. The company will announce pricing details closer to launch, which is scheduled for February 14. We do know some specs though: 5.5-inch Full HD display, Snapdragon 625, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of expandable storage. There’s a 4,100 mAh battery and a 13MP/5MP camera combo with a fingerprint scanner on the back. The special edition Hatsune Miku Note 4X will be available in a quite a few different colors including Hatsune Green, Champagne Gold, Matte Black, Cherry Powder, and Platinum Silver. Strangely, this version of the Note 4X doesn’t match up with some rumored high-end specs for a device with that same name. Xiaomi has partnered with Crypton Future Media, the creator

Networks OpenSignal  is back with another yearly investigation into the state of the major mobile networks in the US. The data looks at the 3G and 4G data speeds offed by the big four – AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon – along with latency data and network availability. If you’re keen to know which is the best and most reliable network to pick for your next contract, here’s the information you need to see. Data speeds According to the research, it’s a tie between Verizon and T-Mobile for the fastest 4G LTE network in the US, with 16.89Mbps and 16.65Mbps average speeds respectively (as seen by users). AT&T is not far behind on 13.68Mbps, but Sprint is considerably slower on average at just 9Mbps. Although it’s a closely-run race for 4G, T-Mobile retains its title as the fastest 3G network in the US, with 4Mbps typical, followed by AT&T on 3Mbps. Verizon and Sprint both clock in below 1Mbps, meaning a much slower experience on average when roaming out of 4G rang

The BlackBerry DTEK60 and DTEK50 have both received a price cut. The former normally retails for $499 but can now be yours for $449 and if you prefer the DTEK50 instead, you’ll be happy to hear that you can now get it for $259, which is $40 off its regular price. The deal is available in the US as well as in a few other countries. The DTEK60 is currently on sale for $579 ($53 off) in Canada, £442 (£33 off) in the UK, and €513 (€66 off) in mainland Europe. Meanwhile, the less powerful and more affordable DTEK50 goes for $344 ($85 off) in Canada, £255 (£20 off) in the UK and €296 (€43 off) on the old continent. As a refresher, the BlackBerry DTEK60 has a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. You’ll find Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chipset under the hood along with 4 GB of RAM. There’s 32 GB of storage available, which is expandable up to 256 GB with the help of a microSD card. Other features of the device include a 21 MP camera with an f/2.0 apert

LG G6 Very little remains unknown about the LG G6, the company’s 2017 flagship smartphone being unveiled on February 26 ahead of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.And thanks to planning material reviewed by VentureBeat, one of the last pieces of the puzzle — the release timeframe — is falling into place. Consumers in LG’s home country of South Korea won’t have to wait long to get their hands on the all-metal, IP68-compliant handset, with sales set to begin on March 9. U.S. residents, however, will need to wait for another month before carriers begin offering the device, on April 7. LG is in a tough position this year for several reasons. While the G-series has proven popular in years past, G6 comes on the heels of a rare misstep for the line, the poorly selling LG G5. Lack of interest in the so-called “modular handset,” with its handful of clip-on accessories, forced LG to pivot away from modularity with the G6. But the biggest problem for LG, the one that is surely

The LG G6 is slated to be revealed on February 26 at this year’s Mobile World Congress, but we didn’t know exactly when it would become available to buy. Reliable leaker Evan Blass from VentureBeat suggests that its US launch will likely happen on April 7, shortly after its rumored Korean launch on March 9. This target date gives LG a head-start over its domestic rival Samsung, whose Galaxy S8 is expected to launch on April 21. Not that it’ll be easy for LG. One particularly worrisome rumor is that Samsung is hoarding Qualcomm’s most powerful chips for itself. According to Qualcomm, the upcoming Snapdragon 835 is up to 27 percent faster or uses 40 percent less battery, depending on how the device is being used. It also offers 20 percent faster charging  and  takes up 35 percent less space. How much the average consumer cares about such specs is another matter altogether. Instead of competing line by line on specs, leaks suggest LG has doubled-down on design with its new device,

The end of the year isn’t merely the end of the financial year for many companies, it’s also the time when many people take a few extra days off. And the two entangle each other in a sort of ROI tango many people are afraid of. Will you reach your quarterly goals? Will you end the year in the black? And especially for publishers like us, can you cut through the holiday noise and keep reader engagement up? That’s always an overarching question for media companies. When readership flatlines and employees need a much deserved break, just how do you make the most of what you have? And this is where data comes in handy. Data analytics tools can help companies improve operational efficiency, drive new revenue, and gain the competitive advantage over business rivals. So with the aid of analytics, we assessed exactly how to optimize workflow and articles to make the most of downtime and employee time off. And it worked.
