A few weeks back, in the wake of the recent conflict with China, Micromax
founder Rahul Sharma in a video message, appealed to the citizens of
India that it is high time that we must shift away from Chinese goods and promote Indian goods. He announced the arrival of a new series of smartphones from Micromax, named IN series. These handsets will be available on Flipkart and Micromax websites.
Micromax has launched two models in the IN series: in 1b and in note 1. In this post, we will take a look at the features of IN 1b model.
RAM
and Internal memory storage is the only difference between these two variants. Let's see other features of this model that are common for both variants.
Processor:
IN 1B comes with a 2.3GHz octa-core MediaTek helio G35 processor based on 12nm technology. The helio G35 processor is somewhere in between Snapdragon 625 and Snapdragon 665 in terms of performance.
Given the price of these phones, this is a pretty good deal.
RAM:
IN 1b comes in two variants. E6523 offers 2GB RAM, which is quite low as per today's standards. However, the E7533 variant offers 4GB RAM, which is impressive at this price.
Storage Memory: Again, there are two different storage offered by the two variants. E6523
provides 32GB ROM for storage, whereas E7533 comes with 64GB ROM as internal memory. Again E7533 variant is above par compared to other phones in this price segment.
The variants offer expandable storage up to 128GB and have provided a dedicated memory slot for microSD cards.
Camera: Both variants provide 13MP
+ 2MP Dual Rear Camera with LED flash, which is a bit disappointing as
most of the manufacturers are offering triple camera at this price
segment.
The secondary camera offers an 8MP shooter, which is at par in this price segment.
Connectivity: These
phones have dual 4G VoLTE standby networks i.e., both SIMs can use 4G
network at the same time. It also offers 3g, Edge, and GPRS connectivity.
Other connectivity features are listed below:
Bluetooth: Yes, v5.0
WiFi: Yes
WiFi Hotspot: Yes
USB Tethering: Yes
Infrared: No
USB connectivity: Yes
Audio Jack: 3.5mm
GPS Support: Yes
Since infrared is not there, the device cannot be used as a remote controller, unlike in some other handsets.
The display features: Both variants are offering 6.52 inches capacitive touch screen with a 1600x720 pixel HD+IPS display. It offers a pixel density of 269 PPI. A notch is there on the top to accommodate the selfie camera.
Apart from the above features following are some of the important specifications to look for before buying the phone:
Battery capacity: These handsets offer a 5000mah non-removable battery that is pretty high in terms of capacity, but the processor is of 12nm technology, so battery backup might be average.
The fingerprint sensor is mounted on the backside of the phone.
Overall, the E7533(4GB, 64GB) variant seems to be quite an impressive deal at Rs.7999. It is offering good performance for day-to-day use as well as for moderate gaming with decent battery backup.
That's all for today. In the next post, we shall see the features of IN Note 1 handset. See you in the next post.
Everyone is aware of the settings that are provided in the menu of the OS. However, another group of settings is available for android users, which provides several details about your mobile network and allows you certain manipulations like switching your preferred network type and setting an SMSC number.
To access these settings and details, dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone. A menu similar to the one shown below will be popped up.
Click on "Phone information1" or any equivalent option available on your device.
A screen showing details of your network on SIM slot 1 will be displayed. Here you can see the IMEI number, current carrier, strength of the signal, voice network type (GSM/LTE), data network type, etc.
The "Set preferred network type" drop-down menu offers the option to change your network to desired types like LTE, GSM, UMTS, etc., as shown below.
You can also run a ping test to check network connectivity.
Overall it provides quite detailed information that cannot be accessed from the default settings option available in the menu of OS.
Science and technology never fail to amaze us with their new inventions and discovery.
After researching for more than a decade, a group of researchers and scientists are reportedly happy to announce that they made an artificial bionic eye that can help blind people see the world.
Bionic organs for the human body are not new things. Bionic limbs like hands or legs are readily available in the market in commercial form. But the bionic eye that can eliminate blindness for some groups of blind people is really the coolest and the smartest.
Melbourne, Australia-based Monash University has built an intelligent system that will bypass the damaged optic nerves in the retina(that causes permanent blindness) and transmit the signal directly to the 'view' center of the brain.
This smart bionic eye, aka 'Gennari's bionic vision system,' has two main components, Headgear and Chip.
Headgear will be in front of the eye with the help of some kind of spectacles, and a tiny 9mm Bionic Chip will be implanted in the brain. Though it sounds scary, the good thing is this bionic eye has already been tested on ships, and scientists have found some positive results with negligible side effects. The next trial has been planned on humans now in Melbourne itself.
"Our design creates a visual pattern from combinations of up to 172 spots of light (phosphenes) which provides information for the individual to navigate indoor and outdoor environments, and recognize the presence of people and objects around them.....If successful, the MVG [Monash Vision Group] team will look to create a new commercial enterprise focused on providing a vision to people with untreatable blindness and movement to the arms of people paralyzed by quadriplegia, transforming their health care", Arthur Lowery, professor at Monash University's Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering stated.
Now, hopefully, if this smart bionic eye works as it reported, it would be a great help and gift to humanity. Though its cost might be prohibitive initially, the same will be drastically reduced over time as technology progresses. Govt can also subsidize and mass produce it to minimize the cost further.
Want to check out the gallery/document of somebody else's phone? But nowadays, it is very likely that the phone gallery and the file manager application is locked by some third-party application(not the phone lock we are talking about). Do not worry. We have a trick for you, and it is very easy.
Install another file manager kind of genuine application, let us say, 'Files.'
This 'Files' named application is owned by Google and is authentic to use.
Install this application by giving access to your phone memory or storage and gallery.
Once the application is installed, open it. Now you can see all the photos,
videos, and many other things that were not visible using other applications that were locked.
Photos and Videos from somebody else's WhatsApp Status can be downloaded easily. To know more about this, please read
this article.
You can efficiently manage your phone's memory by removing duplicate or repeated photos/videos from your storage. This app will scan and find out
the duplicate contents of your phone.
You can search your phone by files/folder/document/image name very much
faster than the other applications.
Contents like document, images, or videos can be shared offline or taken the backup in the cloud
or an online server.
