iPhone 6-The best phone in market

A strong iPhone that Apple sorely needed to release - this will keep the Apple fans happy for a while.

The some, the attraction of the masses to Apple devices is almost unfathomable. The iPhone has never been one of the most powerful handsets in the world, nor the smallest / largest, and yet seven years later it has retained (and grown) its unshakeable following.

However, in the last 18 months, the death knells have started quietly sounding, ringing in the distance as the best Android phones - once only a rival on spec or price - became genuine challengers and then out-and-out better handsets.



Tim Cook knew the brand needed to do something, and quickly - and that's just what's happened, with the iPhone 6 representing one of the most comprehensive overhauls of the iPhone range since the iPhone 4 - and actually going one step further in a lot of ways.

The processor is obviously uprated, the camera quicker and more capable than ever before,Design
he battery has been enlarged significantly to quell the disquiet at the power use of previous models.

But there's so much more here that represents a seismic shift for Apple: the increased resolution on the screen is really helpful (and badly needed) and the payments mechanism, while limited to the US only at the moment, will be the boost that the smartphone payment industry needed.

And of course the larger screen will stop admiring glances from those locked into the iOS ecosystem to phones such as the HTC One M8 and Sony Xperia Z3.

Design

Apple's design overhaul is much-needed and as much as many could have hoped for - taking a number of cues from the iPad Air to bring a metallic, almost ceramic, shell that feels simply brilliant in the hand.



Say what you like about Apple, it's a brand that's always put design at the forefront of its new handsets. Even the iPhone 5S, probably the most unimaginative of all of Cupertino's handsets, had a strong build that screamed quality in the hand, giving the user the instant feeling of something worth spending a lot on.

The iPhone 6 pushes that idea to the next level, losing the sharp edges in favour of sleek and rounded sides that make the device much more pleasing in the palm. It just feels so thin, but doesn't have the overly-lightweight feeling of the iPhone 5S.



There is a worry that this is a slippier handset than before thanks to the more rounded nature of the design, but then again with Apple (apparently) upgrading the glass in the screen to something that can withstand many, many more bumps and bruises before shattering, that might not be the horrid experience it might once have been.

The larger screen is certainly an improvement on the previous models - while I think 4.7-inches is going to be a tiny bit small for those that have lusted after their friends' Galaxy S5 devices with the 5.2-inch screen, it's still a very good size for one hand.



If it wasn't, then why would Sony have launched the Xperia Z3 compact and Samsung the Galaxy Alpha, both within 0.1-inch of the iPhone 6's screen size? The issue with the iPhone 5S, with the cramped screen making it almost impossible to peck out the letters on the keyboard, has now definitely been alleviated.

It's not got a great resolution, at only 1334 x 750 it's essentially 720p, but the new Retina HD screen looks brilliant. So much so that I thought I was picking up a dummy model to play with.

And if you're so desperate for the larger resolution, there's always the iPhone 6 Plus to be looking at, despite that being more of a phablet / Note 4 rival.



The upgraded resolution is a good jump for Apple, but not quite enough really for the spec fans.

iOS 8

The new operating system that was debuted at WWDC earlier in the year has the expected poster boy in the iPhone 6 - while it's not a massive overhaul of the platform, it brings with it some nifty tweaks.

For instance, the updated notifications center is imbued with better powers than before, allowing you to see more relevant information from a simple pull down from the top of the screen.



This action isn't as easy as it once was, thanks to the larger screen, but that's worth it for the greater real estate to play with.

The new OS brings with it other big upgrades, such as the ability to use other keyboards in the future - the thought of Swiftkey on an iPhone, and one without such cramped conditions for typing is an appealing one - which shows that Apple knows it needs to do something big to keep up with the smartphone competition amid eroding market share.

Camera

The camera on the iPhone 6 isn't much of a change... from the outside. It's still 8MP, and still doesn't record in 4K.

But that would miss some of the big changes: the f/2.2 aperture, the new iSight camera with superfast autofocus thanks to 'Focus Pixels' and the same trick repeated with the video, for smooth shooting even if you're moving around.

PROS:
Great design
Improved camera
CONS:
Still pricey

Moto X - the most promising , effective & economical cellphone of 2015

Having created quite a decent space for itself in the low-cost and budget smartphone markets with the Moto E and Moto G respectively, Motorola now appears to be targeting consumers in the mid-range market. The recent launch of the Moto X at what is seen as an impressive pricing has already tempted many users, but does its performance outweigh its price?
We used the phone for a while and attempt to give you some quick answers.
The first thing that got our attention in the phone was its rear that has a beautiful wavy pattern and features a rubberised finish. This soft-touch pattern gives the rear portion a matte finish that further helps in offering a good grip. Nevertheless, the rubberised coating is prone to damage.
As the rear panel is removable I tried to take it out to see what was underneath, and the cover got scratched and a bit of the coating peeled off.
While the back cover is removable, there is nothing that you can do underneath. Neither you can take out the battery, nor the slots for SIM cards and the memory card are positioned there. It seems that the only purpose of having a removable panel is to replace it with other swappable covers.

The phone, interestingly, has only one slot located at the top to rest all the three cards. The tray inside the slot has frames to house two SIM cards (4G) on one side and the microSD card on the other.
The silver strip running along the camera lens and flash at the back reminds us of the Moto G (3rd generation) as it carries a similar design element at the back.
Adding to the phone's design is a plastic band with a metallic finish running along the phone. While the band doesn't look premium, it does manage to add a dash of additional style to the otherwise handsome phone.
Quite like other Motorola phones, the Moto X Play has a curved back that makes it easy to hold the phone and comfortable to operate. The phone is a tad bulky but not unmanageably so. However, it would have been much better had it been a little on the lighter side.

The phone though has a little different design from other Motos, it looks more or less like its siblings as you switch it on.
The 5.5-inch 1080p display is vibrant and produces true to life colours. The company claims the display to have Corning Gorilla Glass atop to protect the screen from scratches. While we are yet to subject the phone to our daily grind to better ascertain these claims.
One of the key highlights of the new Moto X Play is said to be its 21 megapixel camera at the rear. While the camera performs excellent in bright light conditions, it falls a little short - in terms of details - in low light environments. I have never been a fan of the Moto phones' camera performance in low light - including the one on the Moto-made Nexus 6. The rear camera lets you shoot videos in both 540p (SloMo) and 1080p. The 5 megapixel front camera is not an ideal camera for selfies that you would like to flaunt. Nevertheless, it’s okay for video calling.
The options in the camera app are also very limited. You are forced to shoot images only at the highest resolutions, similarly in video there are only two quality settings.
Running Android 5.1.1, the phone has only a couple of Motorola-centric apps installed and therefore, offers almost a stock Android experience. It comes in two storage options - 16 GB (at Rs 18,499) and 32 GB (at Rs 19,999), which an option for dditional storage. The microSD card slot supports a card of up to 128 GB. We got the 32 GB model for review and it has user-accessible memory of around 25.5 GB. Given the little difference in the prices of two models, a 32 GB variant would anyday would be a better choice.
The speaker at the front is impressive - both in terms of loudness and audio results. But we are yet to test it in noisy areas. (I wrote this piece with music playing on this phone in the background. I didn't feel the need to attach external speakers. The loudness was pretty good.)
The phone has not shown any signs of lag during the working multiple programs at one time.
   Surely its the most promising in low budget. It will good competition to all apple & High budget google phones.
 It is most coolest device in economically sound for every user,it has everything that a phone user can desire for this time.
 A phone which is surely a device of great utility.

Android 6.0(Marshmallow)-know about it everything here

Android 6.0 "Marshmallow"is an upcoming update to the Android mobile operating system, most likely to be released in Q3 2015 ("tentatively slated for September"), with its third and final preview released on August 17, 2015.

Marshmallow will primarily focus on improving the overall user experience,[3] and will bring a few features such as a redesigned permission model in which applications are no longer automatically granted all of their specified permissions at installation time, Doze power scheme for extended battery life when a device is not manipulated by the user, and native support for fingerprint recognition.

History

The Android "M" developer preview was unveiled and released at Google I/O on May 28, 2015, for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 phones, Nexus 9 tablet, and Nexus Player set-top box, under the build number MPZ44Q. The third developer preview (MPA44G) was released on August 17, 2015 for the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player devices,and was updated to MPA44I that brought fixes related to Android for Work profiles.

Features

Android Marshmallow introduces a redesigned application permission model: there are now only eight permission categories, and applications are no longer automatically granted all of their specified permissions at installation time. An opt-in system is now used, in which users are prompted to grant or deny individual permissions (such as the ability to access the camera or microphone) to an application when they are needed for the first time. Applications remember the grants, which can be revoked by the user at any time.The new permission model will be used only by applications compiled for Marshmallow using its software development kit (SDK), and all other applications will continue to use the previous permission modelwhile still allowing the user to revoke the grants at any time

Marshmallow also has a new power management scheme named Doze that reduces the level of background application activity when a device's motion sensors determine that it is not being actively handled by its user, which, according to Google, doubles the device's battery life.[1It also introduces an option for resetting all network settings, available for the first time on Android, which clears network-related settings for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular connection.

Android Marshmallow provides native support for fingerprint recognition on supported devices via a standard API, allowing third-party applications to implement fingerprint-based authentication. Fingerprints can be used for unlocking devices and authenticating Play Store and Android Pay purchases. Android Marshmallow supports USB Type-C, including the ability to instruct devices to charge another device over USB. Marshmallow also introduces "verified links" that can be configured to open directly in their specified application without further user prompts.

Version of the Android API provided by Marshmallow is 23. The Android Marshmallow developer tools are available in the SDK Manager under the API level "MNC"

Hydroden fuel-A energy source of future

Hydrogen is the simplest element. An atom of hydrogen consists of only one proton and one electron. It's also the most plentiful element in the universe. Despite its simplicity and abundance, hydrogen doesn't occur naturally as a gas on the Earth - it's always combined with other elements. Water, for example, is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen (H2O).
Hydrogen is also found in many organic compounds, notably the hydrocarbons that make up many of our fuels, such as gasoline, natural gas, methanol, and propane. Hydrogen can be separated from hydrocarbons through the application of heat - a process known as reforming. Currently, most hydrogen is made this way from natural gas. An electrical current can also be used to separate water into its components of oxygen and hydrogen. This process is known as electrolysis. Some algae and bacteria, using sunlight as their energy source, even give off hydrogen under certain conditions.
Hydrogen is high in energy, yet an engine that burns pure hydrogen produces almost no pollution. NASA has used liquid hydrogen since the 1970s to propel the space shuttle and other rockets into orbit. Hydrogen fuel cells power the shuttle's electrical systems, producing a clean byproduct - pure water, which the crew drinks.

A fuel cell combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. Fuel cells are often compared to batteries. Both convert the energy produced by a chemical reaction into usable electric power. However, the fuel cell will produce electricity as long as fuel (hydrogen) is supplied, never losing its charge.
Fuel cells are a promising technology for use as a source of heat and electricity for buildings, and as an electrical power source for electric motors propelling vehicles. Fuel cells operate best on pure hydrogen. But fuels like natural gas, methanol, or even gasoline can be reformed to produce the hydrogen required for fuel cells. Some fuel cells even can be fueled directly with methanol, without using a reformer.
In the future, hydrogen could also join electricity as an important energy carrier. An energy carrier moves and delivers energy in a usable form to consumers. Renewable energy sources, like the sun and wind, can't produce energy all the time. But they could, for example, produce electric energy and hydrogen, which can be stored until it's needed. Hydrogen can also be transported (like electricity) to locations where it is needed.

Android watchs - Smart watch's (The next big thing for genext)

Picture a device that serves up timely, localized info from your smartphone's apps and Web searches based on what it predicts you want to know. Look, here's a traffic report as you head off on your daily commute. Here's a notice about a meeting change. Here's a flight update as you head to the airport. Now imagine that you don't wear the device on your face (Google Glass) or dig it out of your pocket, but access it with a glance at your watch, a few swipes at its touch screen, or perhaps a spoken command.

This is the world conjured by Google's launch video for Android Wear, its software platform for wearable tech. Whether the products that run the software will justify the hype remains an open question until summer 2014, when the first devices hit the market. Industry wonks though have already dubbed it a potential game changer, particularly while an Apple equivalent remains mere rumor.

Wearable technologies, most notably smart watches, have long struggled to gain traction in the marketplace for all sorts of reasons: aesthetics, price, functionality, battery life. But devices running Android Wear will enjoy a strong boost right out the gate, thanks to Android's market dominance, its wide marketplace of apps and Android Wear's streamlined operating system, which is designed specifically for wearables.

Two much-buzzed companies have already thrown wrist pieces into the ring. LG kicked things off by announcing its G Watch, a less bricklike alternative to the customary smart watch square, followed by Motorola Mobility flogging its Moto 360, which shoots for chic with its range of leather bands and brushed metal finishes even as critics question the real estate possibilities of its round face. Asus, HTC and Samsung have signed up for watch work as well [sources: Chen; Motorola].

As for how much these brave new wearables will set you back, we can only speculate. The Moto X smartphone, which ran Google Now (a key component of Android Wear, which we'll get to) and was a kind of spiritual precursor to the Moto 360, was somewhat overpriced. In addition, the engineering R&D required to jam vital electronics into a round package could drive up the 360's sticker price. Then again, Motorola could opt to eat some of those costs, banking on affordability to make a bigger splash. The International Business Times projects an initial range of $279-$400 for the Moto 360, depending on options, which would place it above the top-end Pebble smart watch, the $249 Pebble Steel [source: Halleck].


But Android Wear is more than an engine for running smart watches and other wearable gear. It's the latest step in Google's long game, built on the backbone of the Google Now technology.

Know whereabouts of rooting a phone

A lot of people are talking about the freedom rooting your phone gives you, without necessarily stressing the risks you face by doing so. Here’s a brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages of this process. In case you decide to go for it, it’s best you take an informed decision for your own mobile security.


First off, what’s rooting?

Rooting is a process that allows you to attain root access to the Android operating system code (the equivalent term for Apple devices id jailbreaking). It gives you privileges to modify the software code on the device or install other software that the manufacturer wouldn’t normally allow you to. And for good mobile security reasons: they don’t want users to make modifications to the phones that could result in accidents beyond repair; it is easier for them to offer support if they allow users to only use the same unmodified version of the software. But tech savvy users have already developed rooting methods, which vary depending on device.responsibilitylable on the web, and more and more Android users are resorting to them because of the powerful perks they provide, such as:

 full customization for just about every theme/graphic
 download of any app, regardless of the app store they’re posted on
 extended battery life and added performance
 updates to the latest version of Android if your device is outdated and no longer updated by the manufacturer

But if you do it improperly, it can create havoc. And even done properly, if your phone doesn’t have proper antivirus protection for Android, rooting leaves your device open to all sorts of malware.


With great power comes great responsibility

Now, say all these advantages have convinced you to root your Android device. But you can do it at your own expense, risking your own mobile security. Here’s why:

 1. You can turn your smartphone into a brick. Well, not literally, but if you goof up the rooting process, meaning the code modifications, your phone software can get so damaged that your phone will basically be as useless as a brick.

 2. Your phone warranty turns void. It’s legal to root your phone; however, if you do it, your device gets straight out of warranty. Say you root your phone and some time after that, you experience a phone malfunction – hardware or software related. Because of the Android rooting, the warranty is no longer valid, and the manufacturer will not cover the damages.

 3. Malware can easily breach your mobile security. Gaining root access also entails circumventing the security restrictions put in place by the Android operating system. Which means worms, viruses, spyware and Trojans can infect the rooted Android software if it’s not protected by effective mobile antivirus for Android. There are several ways these types of malware get on your phone: drive-by downloads, malicious links, infected apps you download from not so reputable app stores. They take over your phone and make it act behind your back: forward your contact list to cybercrooks, sniff your e-mails, send text messages to premium numbers, racking up your phone, and collect personal data such as passwords, usernames, credit card details that you use while socializing, banking and shopping from your smartphone.


Mobile security advice

 If you still want to root your device, make sure you research the process very well, as it differs depending on the smartphone type and brand. It’s better you ask for expert advice on dedicated forums, or better yet, ask a tech savvy person to root it for you. All these in order to ensure you don’t turn your device into a brick.

 Install proper antivirus protection for your Android phone, even before rooting the device, to fend off malware infections. 

Google Glass a break through in modernizing communication devices

        GOOGLE GLASS -A STEP AHEAD IN FUTURE

Google Glass is Google's wearable computer that a person wears like a regular pair of prescription glasses. Google Glass is best described as an evolution of the smartphone — a way to freely access data without needing to look at a handheld device. A "heads-up display" suspended slightly above your eye places data right in your field of vision, without completely obstructing your view.

In 2013, the device became available for beta testing to lucky applicants who were selected based on their proposal for how to use the device and were willing to purchase it for $1,500. Google Glass is slated for commercial release in 2014, and continues to undergo hardware and interface changes.

The technology was designed to be as convenient as possible, allowing you to see the projected screen without it blocking your vision. It was intended to give you all of the benefits of a smartphone, without the need to hold the device up where you can see it. Google Glass you glass

se to browse the Internet, obtain directions to locations, send text messages, take pictures and more, all from a simple and compact device.

The capabilities of Google Glass

In addition to the aforementioned features, the device can download and run a variety of apps, just as a smartphone can. These apps provide a glimpse at the device's current capabilities and its potential future applications. For example, thanks to the device's built-in camera, you can use Google Glass in tandem with Google Hangouts to video chat with friends and show what you're seeing. Google Maps allows you to navigate without looking down.

One popular function of the device is voice recognition. You can use verbal commands to take pictures, browse the Internet and even send text messages. But not everything can be done with a voice command, so Google Glass also has a touchpad, with additional controls, alongside one of the arms. Users can swipe through displays showing recent phone calls and photos, as well as read news, weather, sports scores, stock prices and more.

Specifications of Google glass

Google advertises Glass as an almost science-fiction experience, though the hardware it contains is actually quite modest. The projected display is set to a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels, which is on the low side for mobile devices. The built-in camera can take pictures at a 5-megapixel quality and records videos at 720p, in line with lower-end smartphones.

One significant issue with Google Glass is its battery life. Early reviews reported that the device lasts only about 5 hours with average use — for instance, reading emails, and shooting short videos and some photos. Taking longer videos or using Glass for longer periods drained the battery even more quickly.

Google Glass is equipped with 16GB of flash storage and syncs with Google Drive in the cloud for added accessibility to the photos and videos you take. Google Glass also comes with a microUSB port for transferring files and charging the device.

The frame is lightweight and, according to Google, very robust, though it comes with replacement nose pads for any accidental breaking. Phone calls and other sounds are produced through bone-conduction transfer, or by passing vibrations directly to your skull to transmit sound to your ears.
