Does the anti-reflection coating on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra really help around windows and bright lights?

I’m usually indoors but sit near windows, so reflections on my phone are sometimes more annoying than outdoor brightness itself. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra has an anti-reflective main display, and I’m curious how noticeable that is during everyday use.

Does the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8’s low-reflection display help much under office lights?

I mostly use my phone indoors at work, where ceiling lights and windows often reflect on the screen. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 has a low-reflection finish, so I’m wondering whether it helps in these normal indoor situations too, not just outdoors.

Smart phone Up gradation with Windows 10

Does any one have any idea about up gradation of Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 in Smart phone?

Classic Nokia will return, will it take us back to the good old times?

Nokia phones have been out of our sights for a while since Microsoft bought its mobile business in 2014. The terms of trade claimed that Nokia shouldn't set foot in the mobile device market. And the terms will end in the second half of the year. According to the Jianya Wang, the president of Nokia China region, Nokia is likely going to return to the mobile market this year. Furthermore, they made a decade plan in order to continue their legendary accomplishment.

Majority of the people who were born in 80s and older have used Nokia at least once. If you didn't, you must have heard of the classic Nokia ring tone.

Blind typing during the class and finals, texting lovers, those were the good old days, right?

When the phone was thrown out the window by the teacher, you find the phone was still playing the music. It had solid quality and it's budget friendly.

There were the times you could easily find a repair shop to get your Nokia fixed without sending back to the dealers.

Sometimes you don't realize how good the good old days were until they're gone. I'm not a person who like reminiscent, but when I do, it's because of Nokia. The Nokia phones has the outstanding quality but cheap, long lasting battery life and convenient customer service.

However, the world is changing fast, especially, in the smartphone industry. Brands and manufactories release new product every month. Hardware and design are getting similar. And according to the Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker from IDC, the market share of Android OS reaches 82.8% by the end of 2015Q2, Windows Phone dropped to 2.6% because of the lack of compatibility. Furthermore, the profit is getting transparent and shrinking.

Besides, there are more quality and cheap smartphone brands from China hitting on the market. Oukitel K10000 is one of the example. The phone features weekly lasting battery life of 10000mAh, solid quality and good performance. From the price point and overall design, Oukitel fans said that Oukitel is the Chinese Nokia.

Which is better? Le 1s or iPhone SE?

Apple announced the iPhone SE and the web is going wild about it! The Verge says "The new iPhone SE finally makes a small phone feel powerful", TechRadar says that its "Small but mighty!" and The Telegraph calls it "Apple's secret weapon". Lots of superlatives are being thrown around, as is always the case with Apple products.

So, in the midst of Apple's reality distortion field, I decided to compare it to my Le 1s - that I've been using for more than a month now. The results, at least for me, are very conclusive.

Let's start with the OS. Android and iOS are now at-par on features, freely taking inspiration from each other and the perennial also-ran Windows Phone. However, if you've been using an Android phone, the move to iOS is jarring regardless of preparation. Trust me, having moved from a OnePlus 2 to an iPhone 6S, I know this better than most. If you're an iPhone user already, there is no discussion required. If you're an Android user, then I'd say "Don't even consider an iPhone!"

Moving on to design and build, the new iPhone is, in line with Apple's policy "thinner, smaller and lighter" than the Le 1s. However, the Le 1s has an astounding screen-to-body ratio of 75% that enables single-handed use and the phone doesn't feel too big. After all, within reason, bigger is always better! Both phones offer amazing build quality at their respective price points, so that's not really much of a contest.

On display, if you like smaller screens, the iPhone SE will appeal to you. But for someone who has used a 4+ inch screen device earlier, going back to a smaller display doesn't really work. In this respect, the Le 1s scores with its big but not too big display, and its helped by minimal bezels. Resolution-wise, its a no contest with the Full HD In-Cell display on the Le 1s ruling the roost with its fantastic color reproduction, great viewing angles and almost-zero bezels.

On connectivity, both the Le 1s and the iPhone SE are at par with each other on Wi-Fi and Network compatibilities, but the Le 1s scores with its dual-SIM capability.

When it comes to performance, I believe that specs are just one part of the game. Real-world performance is key. And in this area, despite having lesser amount of RAM than the Le 1s, the iPhone SE performs equally well due to better memory management in iOS versus Android. Its a straight tie!

Camera is another key feature where specs are just one part of the game with actual photo clarity being the key identifier. The iPhone SE uses the much-lauded camera module from the iPhone 6S, so its a given that photos will come out well. The Le 1s on the other hand had a few initial hiccups with photo clarity but they've since been resolved by OTA updates, so overall - its a good camera experience on both smartphones. The Le 1s scores in lowlight clarity and front-camera! Apple, for reasons that defy logic, went with a 1.2MP sensor on the front-camera. Now megapixels might not be everything, but with a 5MP sensor, the Le 1s handily beats the iPhone SE on selfies. Another reason is the smaller aperture size on Le 1s cameras – both front and rear (f2.0) compared to the iPhone SE which has f2.4 on the front camera and f2.2 on the rear camera – in photography parlance, smaller is referred to as “wider”. A wider aperture lets in more light which gives better photos in low-light and indoor situations, and gives you that beautiful blurred “out of focus” effect on wide shots.

With respect to sensors, the Le 1s has an infrared sensor to control home appliances that the iPhone doesn't. Everything else on this front is a tie.

Finally, the "essential spec" in today's world, battery! The Le 1s has almost double the battery capacity of the iPhone SE, with fast-charge built-in! While iOS has better power management than Android, the huge difference in capacity should result in longer standby times with the Le 1s!

Regardless of all technical specifications and performance comparisons, there will still be people convinced that an Apple product is the next best thing since sliced bread! So, to those people, here is a final nail in the coffin. Both the Le 1s and iPhone SE are good phones that do almost everything you can expect them to. Most importantly for a budget-conscious Indian, the Le 1s costs INR 10,999 while the iPhone SE starts at a whopping INR 39,000! That’s three times more expensive than the Le 1s!!! Case closed.

Microsoft Surface May launch with 8GB RAM

Upcoming Surface of Microsoft’s Surface phone has been making headlines for months now and is rumoured to be unveiled only in “early 2017.” Now, a new tip has given details about the handset’s innards including the processor and memory.
The company instatntly updated surfaces phone’s specs means ‘Minimum hardware requirements’ page for Windows 10 Mobile, and added MSM8998 SoC as a compatible processor with the OS. Notably, Qualcomm is yet to debut the MSM8998 chipset. After seeking reports claim that Microsoft had added support for the MSM8998 SoC, the company removed the reference from the page.

According to Forbes reports unveiled that the MSM8998 could be next-generation high-end chipset, Snapdragon 830. Considering Snapdragon 830 will be the successor to the Snapdragon 820 processor, the report adds citing analysts that it could support up to 8GB of RAM, and be built using Samsung’s 10nm fabrication process.

Root - A Privilege That Should Be Allowed By The Smartphone Companies

Now many of you people wouldn't know what 'Root' is so, lemme explain, it is kind of a 'Privilege', which allows us to access the core functions of our android smartphone, it is something that is not allowed by the smartphone companies and what they do is if they find that a phone is rooted, they void it's warranty because it is something that could help us overlock our phone's CPU to a higher level.

Now this is only one feature of root, but there are many others like by rooting your phone you could have access to 'Cheat Tools' which can help us modify an apps data, make In App Purchases (IAP) free and patch some apps to get their premium versions for free, removing unwanted system apps with ease, but it also helps in SECURING OUR PHONE, like '360 Security', it needs root to establish a firewall to protect our phones from unwanted access, key logging etc., I think that it should be allowed by the smartphone companies, like there are two sides to every coin, just like that, there are two kind of people, one which need it to secure their phones and one who hack IAP and stuff by using it.

I want to say that people would never stop rooting their phones and hacking stuff just because these companies void the warranty, it's like a limitation, how do you know who will use it for the good and who will use it for that bad? So, simply just let people do what they want, they paid for the phones and warranty comes within it.

Some tools that could help you root your phone:

1) iRoot (Windows)
2) iRoot (Mobile)
3) Unlock Root (PC Version Only)
4) Framaroot (Android version only)

Some hacking apps due to which smartphone companies don't allow root:

1) Freedom
2) Lucky Patcher
3) SB Game Hacker

Note: I've not posted the rooting methods, please search Google for that.

The New Xolo Hive!

Xolo, on the other hand has started promoting its unannounced Hive UI with a dedicated page that come with taglines such as "And right now there's something different brewing at Xolo. Stay curious," "Soon you will too. The revolution has begun," and "A revolution is in the works. Stay tuned."

Other quotes from the Hive teaser page, read, "Imagine if you had the power to change your phone the way you want to. Like play dough. The music player is yours. The contact book is yours. The themes are yours. Imagine what it would be like to create things based on your ideas. Wouldn't that be wonderful?... So the next probable question itself is what exactly is Hive? We would say, imagine a forge. You are the knights who would want blades made of Valerian steel. We the forgers make that possible because the steel we create is malleable to your likes and dislikes. Hive is that forge. It's a platform where we follow democracy in creation... The Hive pits the thinkers and the doers together under one huge umbrella so that the result is beneficial for both."

All this seems to indicate a UI that is very customisable, and that partially ties-in with the fact that Xolo is also said to be working with a designer community to create themes for its new UI and might also announce a new store for its smartphone consumers where all the exclusive content will be available for download.

Earlier on Monday, Xolo's first Windows Phone 8.1-based smartphone, the Win Q900s went up for pre-order at Rs. 9,999.

Last week, the company launched a new Android 4.4 KitKat-based smartphone in India, the Q1011 at Rs. 9,999.
