Oneplus One:flagship killer

The Flagship Killer:2014

The device that rocked the mobile phone world and made the flagships lose their sale,the flagship killer,from an year old chinese phone maker oneplus,still is one of the phones that the people are kinda gonna stick for long!

My main focus while writing this blog was on all those who are willing to purchase this phone or cant wait for the oneplus 2 to launch! or just love this phone ;D

Okay so all set! let us start with the basics! THE HARDWARE:

The phone has a Screen size  of 5.5 inches and has a full HD resolution of 1920*1080 and IPS LCD panel with Touch on Lens(TOL) technology  giving it a whopping 401 ppi(pixels per inch) and incredible viewing angles.Well anything above 326ppi;which is the retina display,that apple calls it is not differentiable from naked eye! You cant see the individual pixels.The phone weighs 160grams.

Coming to the CPU part;the phone sports a 2.5Ghz Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 Soc(system on Chip)with a 578 Mhz GPU (Adreno 330)!It has 3 GB of RAM which makes multitasking a breeze on this device, this is plus point as this device will not get outdated very soon as it is happening with the phones that earlier came with 1GB of RAM!

The phone offers Two different Storage options: A silk white coloured 16 GB version and a sandstone black 64 GB version, without a SD card support! Though you can use an external USB storage like a pendrive with the phone.

Selfie le le re! Selfie days are here! So you also need a good camera on both sides! Oneplus heard you on this; The phone sports a 13 MP rear camera having SONY EXMOR CMOS sensor with F/2.0 aperture and a5MP front camera for your never ending selfies!The phone also has the ability to shoot 4K quality videos at  30FPS and also shoots slow motion video at 120 FPS in 720p resolution.The phone is powered by a 3100 Mah battery equpped with Qualcomm QuickCharge2.0 that significantly reduces the charging time!

The phone has a bunch of sensors including Ambient Light Sensor, G Sensor, E compass and Proximity sensor.

Touch the Device and you come to know the craftsmanship! The body of the phones that becomes almost so thin at the edges with a subtle curvature!

While it is the Hardware part that does the work! We head to The software part without which this work can't be managed:
The phone comes preinstalled with Cyanogen OS and hence packs in a lot more customisations than the stock android without even changing the stock feel of the AOSP(Android Open Source Project).

Oneplus Also provide its own OS named as Oxygen OS ! you can run it also!but it is a very basic rom with very much stock android features with a little additions like the gestures.
But it is very stable and buttery smooth !

Why to prefer Oneplus One over other Phones?

1. It has a very strong developer network so there will never be a shortage of custom roms and one will always be their for your taste.
2. It has the best in Class Specifications at this price.
3. It has a very good customer care service and is expanding rapidly

Why NOT to prefer Oneplus One?

The only reason which i feel is that the company is not that old and you may not want to start with a company that's new in the market!

A funfact is that Oneplus' CEO Pete lau was a chief in OPPO so you can trust him! :)

ANY queries?,please comment!

Raspberry Pi and the IoT(Internet of things)!

Internet Of Things(IoT)

The complete title in itself suffices the need for a definition though for a Q&A round we may define it as:

Internet of things is basically a network of physical things like your bulbs or fans or any other 

such items that can be accessed remotely to perform a function,seamlessly.

Well the possibilities for IoT have no limit.Start thinking from a smart home to a large farm where a farmer can manage all the machineries,cameras and sensors remotely!

What I adore from Smart Home point of view is :

Imagine you come home after work and think you adjust AC cooling your lights your water being ready for a perfect bath and more like your food being automatically ready in microwave!HEAVEN,eh?IoT .

From the worldwide IoT story we come to the size of a credit card to introduce with us the RASPBERRY Pi

Raspberry Pi

Okay So get ready as i introduce you with the credit card sized, very low cost,Single board Computer with USB and HDMI ports ,The Raspberry Pi!

Low cost:yes you heard it right! It starts from a rockbottom$20 pricetag.

Some specs which the raspberry pi offers you:

• 900Mhz quad core ARM v7
• RAM 1gb
• Storage is through a Micro SDHC slot
• Consumes 3-4W of power
• Graphics include a broadcom videocoreIV@250Mhz
• OS;Windows 10 IoT core or some versions of linux

Okay so now we are very much familiar with what Raspberry Pi is .So let's explore what are the infinite possibilities with this device towards IoT.

• The chip runs Windows 10 IoT core ,again the benefit of universal code comes here
• Very low cost chip so we can expect smart lights and washing machines in around a year using this chip and become a part of your home's wifi network.
• Its easy to start and requires very less investment and hence we can see a lot of projects all around the web

So this,my friends,was all about Raspberry Pi and IoT and a little mix of both!

Hope you enjoyed reading! Do Comment if u wanna see any improvements or just have any questions!

Thank You!

Top features in Windows10 to look for :)

The top  features to look for :

UNIVERSAL APPS:

Universal apps ! as the name suggests they are indeed universal! consider a developer who is coding a game for PC,
Finished ,okay so he submits it to windows store gets some good reviews and finally decides to bring it to windows phone! The nightmare is coding the game again!
So to ease the situation win10 starts with the idea of unifying things up!For general public this may not mean much but as a developer it means a lot.Code once and it can run on any form factor running windows 10 from small lumia phones to the gigantic surface hub ,hololens and xbox one.

CONTINUUM: 

Well to all the readers i would first tell you about this feature if you are not already aware of this great feature of the windows!

Read on to know how your windows phone can be used as a PC !

Okay so continuum is basically a feature that in collaboration with the universal apps(discussed above) gives phone the power of PC!since a phone and a PC running a universal windows app will have no distinction in their code and the moment the size and form factor changes the app adapts to it. So when you connect your phone to a PC it shows you a view of your phone similar to project my screen app. when you launch, suppose Microsoft word on your phone's start screen it will automatically open on PC with complete size as you would expect it to run on PC all powered by your windows phone!

Another way of it worth mentioning is on a convertible PC like the Surface Pro where you can connect the keyboard and remove it as and when you like!the OS prompts you and changes accordingly as a touch based or a mouse and keyboard based.Check the video for more.

CORTANA FOR PC

Cortana the famous personal digital assistant by microsoft debuted on windows phone early last year at //BUILD/ .From then Cortana has evolved a lot offering in 10 regions currently!See below:

On phones you can ask anything like ;calling someone;setting alarms/reminders  which may be people or location based.Being On PC cortana made for improvements....

You can even ask her to locate your powerpoint presentations,or your documents and more.

MICROSOFT EDGE

Okay so the logo has changed!Finally Microsoft has evolved their long hated Internet Explorer and replaced with the Microsoft Edge browser codenamed as "Project Spartan".Microsoft Edge is a new browser which is claimed by microsoft to break all the records by setting new benchmark records.

Turn Browsing into doing:Microsoft!

• Microsoft edge has a feature in which you can write and sketch on web and then share it.
• Reading list feature included in the browser is also very nice
• Also the most important is that Cortana is built into the browser itself!she can be very helpful on finding some restaurants,tickets and more.

Hop over to the video to see more!

Finally see this final video of the microsoft ignite conference by Joe Belfiore and see all this sum up yourself.

THANK YOU READERS!
