    With the 360 Degree View, Google Has Made Advertisements Interesting

    After rolling out 360 degree videos on YouTube in March, Google has now extended the same to video ads from today. No one prefers to sit through advertisements, but Google’s latest move should lead to some interesting ad campaigns, like this one:

    Google says that these 360 degree videos are best enjoyed on Cardboard, its VR platform for Android. The VR does give an added advantage to 360 degree videos as it increases the presence of interactive elements in the video. Google says that for every one of these videos run as ads, the results have been impressive. For instance, Google says that Coca-Cola’s 360 video celebrating the 100th anniversary of their iconic bottle design outperformed standard in-stream video ad view-through rates by 36%.

    The 360 degree videos can only be viewed on Google Chrome and YouTube apps for iOS and Android. If you want to create your own 360 degree video, you have to use one of these cameras as described by Google: Ricoh Theta,Kodak SP360, Giroptic 360cam, or IC Real Tech Allie.

    Check out some more 360 degree videos:

    Here’s the Closest Look We’ve Got at the Samsung Galaxy Note 5

    Samsung may be months away from launching the upcoming Galaxy Note 5, but this hasn’t stopped people from looking for a glimpse of the new phone. A new set of images has been released by a retailer that shows the colour renders for the Note 5 cases, giving us the closest look at the phone so far.

    galaxy note 5 case renderAs you can see in the above image, the Galaxy Note 5 will have a curved back, just like the one we saw a few days back in a render based on leaked CAD data. The design of the new Galaxy Note could be real since the render is for a case of the phone.  The cases are from the Rearth Ringke Fusion and Rearth Ringke Slim series and are already up for preorder.

    The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is likely to feature a 5.4-inch or 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with curves on both the edges. The display is likely to also feature a 4K resolution. According to reports, the Note 5 will feature 3GB LPDDR3 DRAM, 32GB of eMMC (embedded multimedia card) along with a controller. The phone may also feature a 16MP rear camera and a 8MP secondary shooter.

  • New Moto X (3rd Gen) Leak Shows Front Facing Flash and Fingerprint Scanner

    New Moto X (3rd Gen) Leak Shows Front Facing Flash and Fingerprint Scanner

    A new set of images about the upcoming Moto X have leaked and reveal some new details that were missing in the previous leak. The new images have leaked on a Facebook page called Peru Android and while the authenticity of the images cannot be claimed, it still provides some interesting information. According to the images, the new Moto X will feature a front facing flash and a fingerprint sensor in a very unique position.

    As you can see in the images above, Motorola has placed the flash in the top right corner of the phone. This is good news for selfie enthusiasts, who have to find a bright spot for every time they take a selfie. Moto X (3rd Gen) will reportedly come with a 5MP front camera, which means you can finally post the desired selfies you always wanted.

    As far as fingerprint sensor is concerned, Peru Android says that Motorola has built it on the lower front speaker, which is an interesting choice. Unlike Apple and LG, both of which have created a dedicated button for the fingerprint sensor, Motorola has integrated the fingerprint sensor into a functional component.

    Motorola will unveil the new Moto G and Moto X at an event on July 28. Till then, we will be on the lookout for any new details.

  • Xiaomi Teases its Highly Anticipated Smartwatch, the Mi Band 1S

    Xiaomi Teases its Highly Anticipated Smartwatch, the Mi Band 1S

    In the wearable segment, Xiaomi hit a jackpot last year, when it announced the Mi Band. The device was another bonafide hit from the company and it looks like the company is keen to follow its success. Xiaomi has announced the possibility of Mi Band 1S in a teaser. Although the band was expected to be announced yesterday, it seems some delay has come up.

    https://twitter.com/miuirom/status/623471204871999489/photo/1

    Unveiled in July last year, the Mi fitness band is an aluminium surface band that comes with a micro laser perforation and no display screen. It can be used as a fitness and sleep tracking band and connects to a user’s smartphone and can unlock the handset without the need of passwords or patterns. It is water resistant and has a battery life of 30 days. It is available in a variety of colours like blue, pink, brown, grey and purple. It can also be customised with leather straps.

    Xiaomi Mi Band is one of the cheapest wearable device in the market, which explains its success in the international market.  In May, Xiaomi held the first flash sale for the Mi Band in India, which got over within seven seconds after opening at 5 p.m.

    The new Mi Band 1S, is expected to feature a heart-rate monitor and a couple of other improvements. The Mi Band is currently available in India at a price of Rs. 999.

  • Starting at Rs. 999, Xiaomi Mi Headphones and Mi In-Ear Headphones Now Available in India

    Starting at Rs. 999, Xiaomi Mi Headphones and Mi In-Ear Headphones Now Available in India

    It’s amazing to note how Xiaomi transformed itself in India, from being ‘a Chinese company’ to ‘It’s Xiaomi’. No other Chinese company has been able to achieve a loyal fan base in India until now and for celebrating its first year in India, Xiaomi has released two new products for the Indian users – Mi headphones and Mi in-ear headphones, priced at Rs. 5,999 5,499 and Rs. 999, respectively.

    Mi-Headphones

    The Mi headphones’ acoustic system is supported by a large 50mm diaphragm that is 4 times harder than steel and 60% lighter than titanium alloy. The Mi headphones are 25% larger than your usual headphones. It is also said to deliver 3D audio realistic surround sound, features dual-damping system to reduce ambient noise and has a built-in microphone for taking calls and music controls. Available in Gold, it comes with three replaceable on-ear and over-ear cushion kits and can be folded to fit in a durable carrying case for portability.

    mi inear headphones

    The Mi In-Ear headphones have the same features as the Mi headphones and share some materials, such as Kevlar fibers and built-in Knowles microphones. Xiaomi claims that both headphones perform better than headphones from Sennheiser.

    The products will go on sale on Xiaomi India’s website from tomorrow. We are expecting Xiaomi to launch more such products in the coming week, so stay tuned.

  • Vivo Launches X5 Pro in India Priced at Rs. 27,980

    Vivo Launches X5 Pro in India Priced at Rs. 27,980

    Vivo, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has launched its latest smartphone, X5 Pro in India today. The X5 Pro was launched in China and is priced at Rs. 27,980. According to Vivo, the phone uses the company’s Hi-Fi sound system, which is poised to deliver a better experience to music lovers. What’s more enticing is that the phone features an eye-scanning technology that will allow users to unlock the phone.

    The X5 Pro sports a 5.2-inch full-HD AMOLED display with dual-faced 2.5D curvy glass and runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop with the Funtouch OS 3.0 UI on top. The dual-SIM 4G phone is powered by a 1.5 Ghz 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor with 2GB of RAM. It has 16GB inbuilt storage which can be further expanded up to 128GB via microSD card.

    Users can take photos using the phone’s 13MP rear camera and the 8MP front camera. The phone is powered by a 2450mAh battery, which seems low considering its price tag.

    Earlier this month, Vivo India launched the V series in India, with two models, the V1 (Rs. 17,980) and the V1 Max (Rs. 21,980).

    The X5 Pro will be available from August through Vivo outlets and users can pre-book on Vivo India’s website. Those who book before 31st July can stand a chance to win the X5 Pro.

    Vivo has revealed plans to set up a manufacturing plant in India over the next few years and are setting up a plant in Noida soon.The company also plans to sell over two million units in India this year, which looks like an uphill task, considering how the likes of Xiaomi and OnePlus are already trying to displace Samsung from its top position in the market.

  • Xiaomi Finally Launches the 32GB Variant of Mi4i

    Xiaomi Finally Launches the 32GB Variant of Mi4i

    Xiaomi has launched a 32GB variant of its popular Mi4i smartphone, as we assumed yesterday. The new variant is a part of its first year anniversary in India. Priced at Rs 14,999, the new Mi4i will be available on the company website on July 28 via the flash sale model. The registrations are open now at the company’s website.

    https://twitter.com/MiIndiaOfficial/status/623712968878895105/photo/1

    In the past, Xiaomi’s Hugo Barra said that the higher capacity variants of the Mi 4i would be launched in India. The phone is priced at Rs.14, 999, which is around the same as the price for 16GB variant of Mi4. Apart from the increase in storage capacity, the specifications of the new Mi4i are same as for the 16GB variant.

    Xiaomi Mi 4i has a 5-inch Full HD OGS IPS display with 441ppi pixel density. The phone is powered by a 64-bit octa-core Cortex-A53 processor. It features 2GB of RAM and runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop with the company’s MIUI 6. Camera includes a 13MP rear and a 5MP front snapper. The dual-SIM device is powered by a 3120mAh battery. Connectivity options include Micro-USB 2.0, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi.

  • Apple’s Q3 Report Shows The Dismal Performance of Apple Watch and Rise in China

    Apple’s Q3 Report Shows The Dismal Performance of Apple Watch and Rise in China

    If the latest fiscal report by Apple indicates anything, it is that the company owes its success to iPhones and Macbooks. Apple has posted its third quarterly results for 2015 and the company has performed better than last quarter, but apparently it wasn’t enough for the investors. The company’s share dropped down by 7%, around $60 billion in market value. Still, Apple has generated $49.6 billion in revenue and earned a profit of $10.7 billion, still behind its record of $18 billion that it set during the first quarter of this year.

    Apple Watch isn’t the success that people had predicted it would be. Analysts estimated Apple to sell around 4 million units of the watch. The company did not specify how many units were sold, but according to Apple’s Chief Financial Officer, the Apple Watch generated around $1 billion in revenue for the company. The company has combined the sales figures of Apple Watch, Beats products and others, which the company says has generated around $2.64 billions. CEO Tim Cook said that “sales of the watch did exceed (our) own forecasts”, which means that not only Apple Watch but Apple’s acquisition of Beats by Dre has also paid off and will continue to do so in the near future.

    The company’s latest report also mentions that for the second straight quarter, China is now the second largest market for Apple. Recently, the company has been trying to make products to suit Chinese customers, going as far as keeping the colour scheme of iPhone 5C according to Chinese preferences. While the sales in China are low from the last quarter, it is still the second largest base after the United States of America.

    It will be interesting to see how the company performs in the next quarter, with the launch of the next iPhone and when Apple Music finally starts taking subscriptions.

  • 5 Apps That Will Allow You to Exchange Files Between iOS and Android

    5 Apps That Will Allow You to Exchange Files Between iOS and Android

    Thanks to apps like WhatsApp and Hike, sharing images, music and videos between iOS and Android devices has become easy. Still, there are some files that cannot be sent over through WhatsApp and even if we e-mail the files, the large size of the file will eat most of the internet data. There are some apps which will allow you to send files between Android and iOS devices without any hassles:

    1. Instashare:

    instashare

    The Instashare app works on a simple principle- drag and drop the file onto your nearby contacts list and the app takes care of the rest. It works on the same principle of Apple’s AirDrop. Instashare supports all types of file formats and works easily on both Android and iOS.

    2. Fast File Transfer:

    file fast transfer

    The app, available for Android users, creates a local Wi-fi network and allows iOS devices to log into them. The user can then send large files over small distances through the local Wi-Fi network created. The network is unique to the Android device and allows the iOS device to log into it. It’s faster than Bluetooth and easy to use.

    3. Feem:

    feem

    Feem works just like Fast File Transfer, sending files over locally created wi-fi networks. The app has to be installed in both iOS and Android devices, though. Once the users enter their partner’s username, they can easily exchange the files.

    4. Sharable:

    sharable

    Sharable works just like Instashare, except it’s completely free, without any advertisements and restrictions on file size. The device connects users through their device’s local wi-fi.

    5. File Transfer For iOS / Android:

    file transfer for iOS

    File Transfer for iOS, along with the companion app File Transfer for Android, allows users to transfer files between their different devices. It uses Bluetooth when possible, making the process of sending files through Wi-Fi, unnecessary. The software automatically detects nearby devices.

Amazon Prime is a membership program that offers unlimited free shipping on  most deliveries with no minimum order size, unlimited backup for photos, access to streaming movies and music, free books from the Kindle Lending Library and more for an annual fee of $99. Think of it as Flipkart First, but with streaming and backup. Not only that, the company will also launch its Instant Video service, which is a major competitor to Netflix.

    Amazon India users have been waiting for the Prime and Instant Video services since the website launched in 2013. While Amazon may reduce the price of its Prime service, it will be interesting to see how it launches the Instant Video for Indian users. Amazon’s Instant Video is known for providing stock as well as original programming abroad, so will the same happen in India, is a question we will be waiting to get the answer of. Moreover, it will be interesting to see if Amazon also launches its digital music service, which is also currently unavailable in India.

    Amazon’s Instant Video provides streaming for TV shows and movies as well as its own content, in a unique way: it will stream the first episode of a TV show and ask viewers to vote on whether the show should be made or not. For now, it seems Amazon will only provide streaming of current TV shows and movies before it forays into original Indian programming. As far as its digital music service is concerned, it may take a lesson or two from Flipkart, which used to have its own music service, Flyte, before it was shut down due to low profits.

    With Netflix poised to come next year and e-commerce websites like Snapdeal and Flipkart upping their services, it is a good time to be a consumer.
