    Google Finally Releases its NFC Payment System Android Pay

    Android Pay, the revamped Google Wallet app, was launched in the US in a number of locations. The Android Pay will be a one-touch payment app much like the Apple Pay, using NFC technology and Android 4.4 KitKat operating system.

    Android-Pay

    Existing Google Wallet customers can update the app and see it morph into the Android Wallet. Google launched a separate app Google Wallet app that focuses on person-to-person payments between friends and family like Square Cash and Venmo.

    In their blog Google describes the new app as “easy, fast, and free to send money directly from your bank account, debit card or Wallet Balance. When you receive money through Google Wallet, you can spend it using your Google Wallet Card wherever Debit MasterCard® is accepted in the US, use your Wallet Card to withdraw it from participating ATMs, or cash out to a debit card or linked bank account.”

    However, as of now if one tries to download the new app, users will not find it as Android Pay, but rather Google Wallet (New) with its logo similar to the old Google Wallet app but with softer colors much like the recently changed Google logo. This can cause some confusion to users initially. Google will most likely work out the bugs and come out with a separate Android Pay.

    The app will be made available in new locations and will support Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cards from banks including Bank of America, US Bank, PNC, and others. The app will come pre-loaded on new Android phones. No details on when the app will come to India.

  • OnePlus to Host an Open Sale for the OnePlus 2 Soon

    OnePlus to Host an Open Sale for the OnePlus 2 Soon

    Ever wonder why OnePlus follows the annoying invite system? It’s actually a smart business move by the company. It is there to ensure that their company takes strong and steady steps forward. Thanks to the system, OnePlus only manufactures enough inventory as the demand.  While at times the demand may be higher than the supply, their supply will never overpower the demand. They said it was their solution to managing risks. And for such a young company, that is one of the most important things they need to think about.

    However, the same system is a tiresome ordeal for potential customers. With the launch of OnePlus’ second flagship, we had hoped that the company would be better prepared this time around. Unfortunately we were mistaken. It seems like everyone is waiting to get their hands on the product, even after a month after launch. OnePlus has admitted there is a reason for that.

    I’d like to apologize on behalf of OnePlus for the delay. To our fans, sorry. We were equally excited when we saw your excitement around the OnePlus 2. We know how it feels waiting and waiting for something you really want, while being given ETAs that go unfulfilled.

    In a blog post, Co-founder Carl Pei acknowledged that they messed up the launch of their product. He apologised to the fans, partners and collaborators for the delay in rolling out the product. He said the reason for the delay was a young “inexperienced team” managing cash flow, inventory, supply chain and production. To make up for it, the company will be hosting an 1-hour open sale sometime this month, or early next month.

    There was no word about the specific countries for the sale, but since OnePlus considers India as one of the first tier countries, we needn’t worry.

  • Sony’s Alpha 7s II to Have 4K Video, Up to 409,600 ISO

    Sony’s Alpha 7s II to Have 4K Video, Up to 409,600 ISO

    The Alpha 7s II is Sony’s latest offering and a successor to the Alpha 7s that was released last year. The Alpha 7s II will be a mirrorless, full-frame digital camera and will come with a 12-megapixel sensor much like the original. But it is in the new internal 4K video recording that makes the Alpha 7s II stand apart. While the original model could record 4K videos using an external recorder, the A7s II will have an in-built 4K recording (3,840 x 2,160) capability which can shoot at 24 or 30 fps. It can also record 1080p footage at 120 fps.

    Furthermore, the A7s II boasts of a massive 50-409,600 ISO range that comes with a 12.2-megapixel sensor and the BIONZ X image processing. While the original model triumphed in capturing images in low-level light, the A7s II promises even better low-level light pictures.

    One of the new features of this model is the 5-axis stabilization which will reduce the jitter on shots taken at night or with a long, telephoto lenses. The A7s II will also be Wi-Fi and NFC compatible, which will allow users to hook the camera to an Android or iOS device. Though the 12 megapixel camera may come as a disappointment for many, the 4K video recording will make up for it as videographers are sure to appreciate this feature. The A7s II will be available in Europe from November with no details about it coming to India.

  • iPhone 6s Plus vs Samsung Galaxy Note 5

    iPhone 6s Plus vs Samsung Galaxy Note 5

    With the launch of the iPhone 6s, comparisons between Apple and Samsung, two of the most prominent names in the tech world are driving tech-freaks up the wall.

    While Apple has always been a leader when it comes to UI, Samsung boasts of better features on paper. The former may not be able to compete with the latter in terms of numbers and stats, but it definitely is a smoother device to work on. The fluidity and smoothness of any Apple device is unmatched by even the best gadgets in the market. Therefore, the new iPhones; 6s and 6s Plus, can be expected to deliver the same fluidity to the user. Apple gadgets, after-all, have always been more than just big numbers.

    However, Apple is likely to lose the race with Samsung in terms of design. While iPhones have followed pretty much the same pattern in its external features, Samsung has an edge because of its constant innovation with design.

    Let’s take a closer look at the features both Apple and Samsung have to offer, this time around.

    iPhone 6s 8

    Screen and Display:

    At a 5.7 inches, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a larger panel than the 4.7 inches of the iPhone 6s. Note 5 comes equipped with a pixel-packing quad-HD display with a resolution of 2560 X 1440 and 518ppi pixel density. iPhone 6s loses out to its Samsung counterpart in the pixel-war with a 1334 X 750-pixel resolution and 326 ppi.

    Design:

    Samsung Galaxy Note 5 27

    As mentioned above, this is a category in which Samsung is almost certainly going to have an edge over the iPhone 6s. Metal and glass have now replaced the plastic and faux-leather combination Samsung had been employing in its phones so far, as was seen in last year’s Note 4. The design of Note 5 seems slightly disappointing, especially in contrast with its sturdier, smarter predecessor. At the same time, it also seems like an echo of the S6 Edge. However, the glass back seems to be a bit of a concern, in terms of the phone’s hardiness.

    iPhone 6s pretty much follows suit with its predecessors without having much to offer in terms of innovation in design.

    Features:

    The S-Pen, a little stylus that enables one to doodle away on their phone, is by far one of the best features of the Note series. It has continued to evolve ever since its inception and now Note 5 too, will come equipped with the stylus in its new, improved version. Its abilities have expanded with each new release and we’re happy to say it’s still here with the Note 5. Though the highly speculated auto-eject feature won’t be part of it, the stylus will pop out when pressed down. Also, it will be slimmer than before. Samsung will have an edge over Apple in terms of software as well, which in this case will be especially made for larger phones. Two apps can be simultaneously opened on the Note 5 and can be made into floating windows as well, if need be. Similar multi-tasking features have been part of Apple’s iPads in the past.

    What 6s has to offer in reply to this is the 3-D Force Touch Display.The phones feature a next-generation version of a Force Touch seen in the latest MacBook trackpads and the Apple Watch. While the trackpads and Apple Watch work on two levels, namely of press and tap, this updated version of Force Touch features a deeper press, in addition to these. Thus, the feature has been rightly termed ‘3-D Touch’. The sensors take into account three different types of touch rather than two.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 5 29

    Memory:

    This is another feature in which iPhone 6s loses out to its counterpart because even though there are three options to choose from -16 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB, Apple has gotten rid of its 32 GB iPhone as opposed to Samsung’s 32 GB version, along with a 64 GB one, of course.

    Power:

    Note 5 is pretty much a twin to Galaxy S6 in terms of its internal features with an Exynos 7420 chipset with a 2.1GHz quad-core and a 1.5GHz CPU. It also boasts of a Mali -T760MP8 GPU and, most importantly – 4GB RAM. This is four times the amount of RAM of the A8 chip that the iPhone 6 Plus brings with it. Though the iOS is very efficient at making the best of limited amounts of RAM, buyers still hope for a 2 GB version at least.

    If speculations are to be believed, A9 is expected to be a better performer than the Exynos of S6. With the new iPhone less than a week old, there are only a couple of hazy expectations and hopes minus any concrete facts so far.

    iphone-7-release-date-a9_0

    Battery: 

    Note 5 has a new battery of 3,000 mAh, but this makes it only slightly bigger than the 2,915 mAh version on the iPhone 6 Plus which doesn’t even need to sustain a quad-HD display.

    The older iPhone model of the 6 Plus matches up to its Samsung rival in being able to run for two days without needing full charge. After the disappointing battery performance of Galaxy S6, it would be interesting to see what Apple has to offer in its new iPhones. The Note 5, on the other hand, allows the feature of wireless charging, along with QuickCharging, both of which are missing from the iPhone 6 Plus.

    A Force Touch promotional video released by Apple seems to confirm that the battery of the newest iPhone will be less than its predecessor. Speculations about the reduced battery capacity of the iPhone 6s Plus have been doing the rounds for weeks now. Finally this video comes across as some sort of an acknowledgement of the rumours. According to GSMArena, it shows the battery at a “1715 mAh”, less than the iPhone 6’s 1810 mAh. Along with this, an updated 4G LTE chip is likely to consume less power and therefore make the iPhone 6s more power-efficient. Find the full story here.

    iPhone 6s 2

    Camera:

    Like the similarity in the internal features of both S6 and Note 5, the camera in the latter is a twin to that of the former. In front of  the puny 8 MP of the 6s Plus, Note 5 boasts of a 16 MP with UHD video recording. However, both cameras come equipped with optical image stabilisation for low-light, blur-free shots.

    The front cameras of both the Note 5 and 6s Plus are worth a comparison. While the former stands at 5 MP, the latter is no more than 1.2 MP. While both Samsung flagship phones have a 16 MP camera, the 6s Plus does not go beyond 12 MP. However, the iSight camera will now allow you to record videos in 4K resolution like the two Samsung phones.

    Here are the specs of the two phones, and just for added fun, we have added S6 Edge Plus to the list as well.

    Amazing Videos Shot On a GoPro That You Ought To See

    Since 2005, GoPro has been one of the leading names in producing high-definition action cameras that are used in extreme-action videography. Extreme sport atheletes love to record videos of themselves in action. From flying through a 2 meter cave to jumping off a helium balloon, 127,852 feet above earth (yes, we’re talking about Felix Baumgartner), there is no extreme sport too dangerous to be shot on the GoPro camera.

    Obviously there are tons of wondrous GoPro videos but, here are some of our favourites:

    This guy makes flying through a 2 meter cave ridiculously easy.

     

    This video of a fireman saving a kitten will melt the toughest hearts

     

    Here’s a compilation that includes the famous Baumgartner jump.

     

    This one is shot by the GoPro Hero3 that was launched in 2012 will make you question whether you’ve lived at all

     

    And finally we have a dance-off that could only be captured by GoPro

    Last year GoPro released its first ever GoPro HERO+LCD, which provides video recording at 1080p at 60 fps and 8 megapixel photos. As of June 2015, GoPro announced that the company is working on creating six cameras on the sides of a cube that can shoot 360°-panoramic videos, as well as a quadrocopter drone with cam.

  • Pokémon Go: Nintendo’s First Augmented Reality Game for Android and iPhone

    Pokémon Go: Nintendo’s First Augmented Reality Game for Android and iPhone

    ’90s kids rejoice. If you thought you had grown out of the Pokémon craze then think again. Nintendo has announced Pokémon GO, an augmented reality app for Android and iOS users that allows users to become Pokémon trainers in the real world where they can hunt for and battle Pokémon.

    604437

    The app will use real-time location information that will encourage players to explore their neighbourhood, communities, find friends and rivals to play, trade, duel, and discover Pokémons together.

    Let’s be honest, as kids we’ve always wanted a Pokémon game that was more than what the Game Boy offered (though they were pretty cool as well). Now, as slightly older kids we can finally live the dream.

    We’ll just leave this video here for you.

    Nintendo will also bring out the Pokémon Go Plus. This is a wearable Nintendo-built Bluetooth device for the wrist so that you can play the game without having to open the app on your phone. Basically this device will beep and buzz when a virtual Pokémon is detected near your area. So if a virtual Pikachu is hanging around in your backyard, the device will buzz and flash notifying you that a Pokémon is nearby and ready to be captured. All you need now is an Ash Ketchum cap and you’re ready to ‘Go’.

    inline-576×240-150871

    Nintendo has teamed up with Google Spin-off company Niantic and The Pokémon Company to develop this AR game. Nintendo has released 3D augmented realtiy games on the Nintendo 3DS. This, however, will be the first time Nintendo enters the smartphone gaming area.

    The game is expected to come out next year. It is still too early to know whether Pokémon fans are ready to walk out on to the street and wave their hands and phones in the air, trying to catch Pokémon. But for now, the video sure blows us away and the excitement is real.

  • Qualcomm Creates a New Chipset For Drones

    Qualcomm Creates a New Chipset For Drones

    Firstly, what is a drone? According to the definition given by techtarget.com –  “A drone, in a technological context, is an unmanned aircraft. Drones are more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Essentially, a drone is a flying robot. The aircraft may be remotely controlled or can fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems working in conjunction with GPS.  UAVs have most often been associated with the military but they are also used for search and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring and firefighting, among other things.”

    drone 1

    Drones have been in the news for various reasons – both controversial and non controversial, and even though they haven’t been legalised yet, a lot of software companies are looking to invest in the evolution of the drone. One of these companies, is Qualcomm, which is a ‘chipmaker’ company who has made the famous Snapdragon chipset for the Android smartphones. They have now reportedly created a new series of chipsets specifically for the drones, and are being called – the Snapdragon Flight.

    Drones have had quite an evolution when we speak of its structure and size; and Qualcomm claims to be here, to enhance the drone design since it has already covered the big task of integrating a CPU with GPS, wireless connectivity, image processing etc. on smartphones. So, what exactly is Snapdragon Flight? Well, the company says that they’re basically repurposing the same Snapdragon 800 system-on-a-chip (SoC) processors for drones. Here’s what Qualcomm says:

    “We’ve integrated so many things in one chipset, it reduces the weight of the drone significantly. Which means you can reduce the size of the motors, fans and battery. And it flies higher and longer.”

    So, now here we have the first signs of smartphones and drones collaborating. Today, there’s a smartphone software in a drone, tomorrow there’ll be a drone software in the smartphone and then what, you ask? Armageddon.

  • SanDisk Launches Connect Wireless Stick in India

    SanDisk Launches Connect Wireless Stick in India

    SanDisk has come out with a way that allows you to store data wirelessly. The company launched the Connect Wireless Stick in India that allows wireless transfer of files and media to and from your laptops, PCs, and mobile devices with the help of its built in Wi-Fi hotspot. The device is especially useful since most Tablets these days come without a MicroSD storage. The Connect Wirless Stick can allow multiple devices to transfer and store data, simultaneously.The device will also function as a standard USB flash drive as well.

    1e8-OBLzyPWH.878×0.Z-Z96KYq

     

    It terms of design, the device looks both stylish and professional with a hexagonal pattern on the body and a LED in the front to indicate whether the device is on, if the battery is low, if it is charging, or if data is being transferred. The device also comes with an auto back-up of images and videos from your camera roll. The Stick will surely speed up the way data is transferred by not having to connect it manually to a device everytime. However, the device only supports USB 2.0 and not 3.0 which limits the transfer speed to a maximum of 60mbps.

    SanDisk says that the Connect Wireless Stick can stream 4.5 hours of video on a single charge, but can lower the figure when connected to multiple tablets and phones.

    Dinesh Bahal, Vice President, Product Marketing, SanDisk had said at the global launch in July, “We live in an era where we are truly living a mobile lifestyle. We use our devices to capture life’s moments, and work in a way that was never before possible – all of which has created the need for a new generation of mobile storage,”

    The device will be available on Flipkart from the 18th of September and will come in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB for Rs. 2,790, Rs. 3,790, Rs. 5,490, and Rs. 9,490 respectively.

    Idea Cellular’s Managing Director Himanshu Kapania says, “Out of the total investment of Rs. 42,000 crores that Idea has made across the country, 11 percent of the investment has come to UP”. Stats further show that the telecom operator is present in about 82% cities of the state. It now plans to increase its consumers to 95%.

    Kapania further comments, “”If you want to reach Internet to every nook and corner of UP, we have to put up fibre and we are requesting the UP government to issue a forward-looking RoW policy, which is currently pending across most states. We are hoping this state would be on the forefront in supporting us”.

  • Facial Recognition: The New ‘National Security Weapon’ of Other Countries

    Facial Recognition: The New ‘National Security Weapon’ of Other Countries

    Government agencies in Australia now have facial recognition technology at their disposal to look up people of interest. They would have a database of individuals taken from photographs on visas, passports and driving licenses.

    This technology allows identification of individuals using a digital image of sorts of their face. It uses unique features of the face in the image — shape of the eyes, nose or jaw etc. — to compare the digital image with the one stored in the database.

    976542-facial-recognition

    A sum of $18.5 million to be spent on establishing the National Facial Biometric Matching Capability (NFBMC) was announced by the Australian Minister for Justice, Michael Keenan on Wednesday. He referred to the development as the country’s “newest national security weapon.” Agencies and police would be able to “share and match” photographs of Australians held in existing databases next year onwards.

    Speculations regarding similar technology are rife in India, but the country is yet to see any concrete developments in the field. One of the biggest hindrances India would face while establishing such a database would be its humongous population. Meanwhile, Australia’s public announcement has sparked off numerous debates about the nature of this technology -a tool to control crime and maintain security, or another example of the State’s growing control and influence over people?

    Do you think its time India got its own ‘National Security Weapon’ of this sort? Let us know in the comments below.

  • Amazon’s New FireTV to Challenge Apple TV

    Amazon’s New FireTV to Challenge Apple TV

    Amazon had launched its first FireTV last year, and is back with the launch of the second generation FireTV media receiver later, this year. The company intends to pit its new FireTV against the Apple TV that was unveiled at the event just two days ago.

    Buellerfinalcropped

    The first FireTV was loaded with features and functions that were well received by critics. The device featured 2 GB of RAM, MIMO dual-band Wi-Fi, and a Bluetooth remote control with a microphone for voice search. It supported a 1080 resolution streaming with Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 surround sound all at a nominal price of $99. Amazon delivered on quality, the first time around and one expects that they will improve on it with the next one.

    The news of the second-generation FireTV comes just a day after Amazon discontinued its first and only smartphone, the Fire Phone. But where the smartphone failed to make an impact, the Fire TV has seen success. It has already discontinued its first device so one can expect news of the new Fire TV to come out soon.

    The new FireTV is rumored to come with a new microSD card slot, Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity, an ethernet port and USB port. No details on a new UI or improved gaming features as of now. But given that the device will challenge the Apple TV, one expects Amazon to upgrade all its features for the new FireTV. Will the device be able to hold its own against the Apple TV?

  • Here’s a Camera App that Can Make Your Pictures Look Professional

    Here’s a Camera App that Can Make Your Pictures Look Professional

    When we purchase a smartphone today, one of our primary concerns is having a phone with an excellent camera, especially for the amateur photographers and Instagrammers out there. Gone are the days of carrying around a separate digital camera, and rightly so if your phone has the capabilities of taking quality photographs almost as clear as a DSLR camera. And one cannot deny that today’s iPhones are winning in the camera department.

    Tap, tap, tap, a company that created the third-party camera app, Camera+ for iOS users, is selling its app for free now. The app currently has a strong 14 million user base, and has earned $18 million dollars in sales. The app is useful for those who want a little more from their iPhones, providing a bunch of extra editing tools – both basic and advanced – such as special effects and lighting filters, an image stabilizer, and integrated sharing with Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter. But until now, the app was only available as a paid download.

    The company will continue to have the paid version for users who want the complete set of features. The free app will have most of the basic features for free and select advanced features via in-app purchases, which include manual shooting, advanced editing, and lossless TIFF, to name a few. The free app will be a great advantage for those iPhone users who have a hobby for photography and like to play around with various editing features without having to pay for it.

    The app has received favorable reviews. PC Advisor gave the app 4-and-a-half stars out of 5 and declared it a “must-have” app for iPhone photographers. Wired gave the app a 9 out of 10, describing it as a “secret weapon” for photographers, stating that it contained so much functionality that it was “too easy to get lost in the deeply layered menus or forget where you found that killer function the other day.”

    Meizu to Unveil Flagship Phone ‘NIUX’

    Meizu, China-based consumer electronics company, will have an official launch for its flagship rumored to be call ‘NIUX’, on the 23rd of September. Teasers of the event with the words ‘Meizu Go Pro’ have been circulating, suggesting that the company is set to unveil the Meizu MX5 Pro. However, the wordings are false as they are going to launch the ‘NIUX’ instead.

    VP of Meizu, Li Nan, stated that the Meizu MX5 Pro has been scrapped. In fact, they plan on scrapping the entire ‘MX Pro’ line altogether. Instead, the company will focus on a new line of premium devices, the first of which will be the ‘NIUX’. Li Nan decided to ‘leak’ official images of the NIUX rather than waiting for unofficial leaks.

    The phone is rumored to come with a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution along with 3/4GB of RAM and 32/64GB of internal storage. The phone will be powered by the Exynos 7420 SoC, which Mr. Bai, President of Miezu, calls the best CPU available. Other features include a 5-megapixel snapper in the front, and Android 5.1 Lollipop pre-installed. Below are leaked images of the NIUX.

    Sony Takes a Jibe at iPhone 6s Battery

    Sony tweeted an image similar to the one Apple had used for its invites to have a laugh at the expense of Apple’s newest phones. The image (below) read as: “Hey Siri, what about the battery life?”, followed by “Switch to Sony”.
