Bluetooth V5 what does it have and not have?

Behold the Bluetooth V5 - yup finally after long last the version 5 of the bluetooth is accepted by wireless standard's Special Interest Group......yes officially. Though it will take another 6 months to actually land on the consumer devices, here is what we can expect and what not to: It has superior range around 4X yes you got that right 4 times the range. 2X speed for data transfer. What not to expect: The quality of audio transmitted over blue tooth is still not upto the mark especially when we are more poised towards a wireless headphone future(thanks to likes of Apple). The update on audio compression side is not expected untill 2018. But, what we have is increase in range (now the whole of the home or small office comes inside the range) and speed will definitely give a boost to IoT, which could definitely use it.

Iphone 7 Vs Google Pxiel - Google's Take on Apple.

By now everyone has gone to lengths to explain, even the tiniest detail regarding these two phones, this is to give you,a somewhat different stand point from another angle. Nowadays, smartphone camera's play a vital role in deciding which mobile device we may opt to buy. Given the high-end camera specs of both cameras, they will get the job done on any given day. Unless you are really a photo-manic, for a normal user who clicks a few selfies and panorama on trips and some wide angle shots here and there, both will do just fine. One of the main things that would i consider is lifespan of these phones, given that i am going to spend considerable amount of money, if you are opting to buy either of these phones, longevity is one of major concerns for me. Given the recent history of hardware attempts by Google, i would say they are building a very bad hardware brand, not before long their nexus line devices promised to be best stock android experience, now they have ditched it o

How did Xamio's flash sale of Redmi Note 3 ended? does anyone have a clear idea?

Up until now there have two flash sales, which turned out much to the discontent of the customers. After the march 16 flash sales on the amazon website, I personally found more than a 1000 reviews of angry customers who were patiently waiting to buy the 3 GB variant of the smart phone, unfortunately there have been a lot of controversies that surround the flash sale, many of the customers were unable to buy the because all the products were sold out in a flash.may be that's why its called a flash sale. The sale was very much to the huge disappoint of the customers. From the reviews I came to know that many of them have actually booked LeTv 1s, which is also kind of similar. Don’t why xamio has pulled an act like this? In a hyper growth market like India having this kind of reputation doesn’t look for the future for both xamio and amazon. The smartphone segment is being more and more crowded with new manufactures every day, at a time like this is just unacceptable.
