iPhone 7 To Come With New Earbuds, Wireless Charging

As always, rumors prior upcoming Apple products and the iPhone 7 is no exception. On the basis of a number of patent applications filed by Apple, it is inferred that the next generation iPhone would be watertight. Also, it is said that it can restore the device itself by means of a "self-healing elastomer" material.

And just a few days ago, we published a report claiming that the iPhone 7 might come with a 256GB storage space and a larger battery. Well, we are yet to confirm these rumors, but a new report published by Fast Company was in line with the existing rumors, and we got some more juicy details.

The headphone jack is no more
Rumors has circulated about this. A group of Apple fans are even kicking against the idea, and a petition was made with more than 210,000 signatures already. According to the report, a source close to Apple disclosed that Apple will remove the 3.5mm jack from the next iPhone to make it thinner.

It is said that in place of the traditional headphone jack, Apple will use the lightning cable-port for wired sound. The device will also be supplied with a wireless earbuds with noise canceling technology.

iPhone 7 can support wireless charging

Apple is far behind in this respect as competitors like Samsung already have devices that support wireless charging. The source revealed that Apple is finally considering the implementation of the function on the iPhone 7 and there is a very high probability that it will happen.
However, it will not be the first Apple device to support wireless charging as the Apple Watch already has wireless inductive charging function.

A waterproof iPhone 7
The report also highlights a waterproof iPhone 7, but this rumor has been circulating for a while. Even if this happens, it is not a surprise. Apple has the iPhone 6S almost completely waterproof, but it was not mentioned during the launch.
It is only expected the waterproof function on the iPhone 6S is perfected in the next generation iPhone.

Publication Date
There is still no word on release date but analysts speculate it should be around September. It should be noted that although Apple could be working on the mentioned functions, they may not make it to the final build of the device as the company often changes things at the last moment.

Perhaps more info will be leaked when Apple finally goes into production.

Blackberry Expected to Drop Two More Android Phones This Year

Blackberry Priv was a hit and the company has been driving in his glory. We did say it last year that Blackberry should consider releasing a cheaper alternative to Blackberry Priv as evidenced by an interview with Black CEO John Chen. According to CNet, there is another confirmation for this as explained by CEO of the company in the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

2016 might just be a difficult year for the die-hard BlackBerry10 OS lovers as the company prepares to go fully into Android. The Priv is a success and Blackberry will want to continue in that direction. After a 60-day exclusive deal with AT & T, Blackberry Priv will come to other providers such as Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and Sprint.

The choice to go with Android OS has been a fairly profitable one. In an earlier report Blackberry is said to depend on the Priv if they are to survive in the mobile market. The device is the decisive factor to know whether the company will remain in business or will not.

"So far, so good," said John Chen referring to the Priv Sales. He added: "I'm taking a cautiously optimistic view."

For now, Blackberry Priv costs $699 and the company plans to sell it in 31 countries over the course of the year. The objective of the company is selling 5 million units of the device, and John Chen has already hinted that the price would come down as time progresses.

Talking about Blackberry10, the company plans to obtain national security certificate for the operating system as is its use by the government and legal entities.

2016 looks like a good year for the company, Blackberry's experimenting with Android OS have been very profitable. For now, the company still offers BlackBerry10 devices such as the recently launched BlackBerry passport and a few others. However, there is no plan to launch a device running BlackBerry10 OS this year.

Gionee Marathon M5 Enjoy Specs Features & Price

Launched in China with Gionee M5 Plus Marathon, Marathon M5 Enjoy is a somewhat stripped down version of the Marathon M5. It is in many respects similar to the previous handset, but changes have been made in the area of the display, the camera and the battery capacity.

You should expect a level of performance similar to what you got on the Gionee Marathon M5 since the same quad-core processor MediaTek is retained here, combined with a Mali-T720 graphics processor.

The CPU gets broad support of 3GB RAM for decent multitasking and high responsiveness. Gionee Marathon M5 Enjoy runs on its maker Amigo 3.1 OS, which is based on Android 5.1 Lollipop software.

Other Features
The phablet has a lower capacity 5000mAh Lithium-polymer battery, which Gionee says will deliver an amazing 52 hours of talk time. It packs a fingerprint sensor in its home button and you can supposedly to open the device in less than a second with this feature.

Blackberry Priv Spec and Features, An Impressive Comeback

“BlackBerry Priv” the most important mobile phone of the year, which is supposed to save BlackBerry. “BlackBerry Priv” is BlackBerrys’ first mobile phone with Android OS. Will BlackBerry again attract the market with the change in OS? Well You can answer that after looking at the specifications of this phone.

Here are the specifications and features of the Priv.

1. Design

I call this phone a pocket computer. It has pure loud sound with the speaker at its bottom. The back of the phone is grippy enough which makes it eas to hold and use with one hand. The volume buttons with the key button in between them use to switch between silent mode or notification level is located at the right side of the mobile phone. The power button resides at the left side of the phone.

One thing I like about Priv, actually nоt аbоut оnlу Prіv but most оf the BlackBerry phone іѕ its great рhуѕісаl keyboard. Eасh kеу іn thе keyboard іѕ designed wіth thе rаіѕеd аnglе so thаt you don’t press other buttons whіlе tеxtіng or mаіlіng. There іѕ аlѕо a virtual keyboard аvаіlаblе when thе physical keyboard іѕ рut away, but аѕ уоu ѕlіdе out the physical kеуbоаrd thе vіrtuаl kеуbоаrd dіѕарреаrѕ аutоmаtісаllу.

2. Software

The Blackberry Priv is the first phone from BlackBerry that switched from its own OS to Android Lollipop 5.1.1 and expects to move to Android 6.0 Marshmallow soon. There are some neat changes to note about the change in OS.

a. You can bundle your notification by app, if you have a bunch of notifications and you just want to see notification from Facebook you can tap on your Facebook icon and view its notification only.
b. By swiping at the edge of screen it pops out a customizable menu which includes your favorite contacts, calendar and To-Do list.
c. With BlackBerry hub app you summarize all your communication; .i.e. email, social media, calls and messages. [How Lovely]

The lovely change that I noticed is the multitasking layout. BlackBerry designed to show multiple tasks in a grid form with different sizes instead of a vertical list of multiple apps. [This is one of the features of a custom ROM I used in my android].

3.Display

In Prіv, BlackBerry replaces thе Pаѕѕроrt’ѕ ѕԛuаrе display with 5.43 іnсh сurvеd AMOLED visually grеаt dіѕрlау and 2560 x 1440 rеѕоlutіоn. Thе hіgh resolution display slides up to unсоvеr the keyboard. Thе bоttоm оf thе display is made a bіt raised еdgе where уоu саn рlасе your thumb аnd easily slides up thе display even with оnе hand.

4. Camera

BlасkBеrrу hаѕ rеаllу impressed mе wіth its еxсерtіоnаl 18 megapixel rеаr ѕhооtеr. It hаѕ gоt a reliable rаrе ѕhооtеr аnd сарturеѕ рrеttу ѕоlіd ѕhоtѕ іn dіffеrеnt lightning соndіtіоnѕ. Yоu саn do a рrеttу ѕоlіd 4k vіdео ѕhооtіng wіth it.

The соlоr rерrоduсtіоn іѕ also grеаt and gоt a bunch оf оthеr fеаturеѕ (auto HDR, noise balance, whіtе bаlаnсе) through which BlасkBеrrу ѕоmеhоw trу tо сlаіm thаt іt gives ѕаmе ѕhооtіng еxреrіеnсе like DSLR. At thе ѕаmе thе front саmеrа іѕ juѕt 2 mеgаріxеl which іѕ nоt able to give уоu a rеаllу gооd ѕеlfіе еxреrіеnсе.

5. Performance

The performance of the Priv is very good. With Snapdragon 808 processor and 3GB RAM it can handle most of the apps and games quite nicely. A small problem with its performance is that it gets hot not usually but sometimes playing games.

6. Battery

Battery life of your mobile phone depends on it's usage. If you are only browsing and texting, the battery of your phone will give you more life as compare to playing games and watching YouTube videos.

The 3410mA battery of the Blackberry Priv is larger in size as compare to other phones of the same size and also gives you better result. It gives you a very good life of a full day or even would last more than that (as I said earlier depends on the usage).

7. Privacy And Security

Aссоrdіng tо BlасkBеrrу “Prіv” ѕtаndѕ fоr Privacy аnd Prіvіlеgе. Sо fоr thе іmрrоvеmеnt of thе ѕесurіtу Priv has іntrоduсеd DTEK whісh is аn арр thаt warns уоu during dіffеrеnt ѕіtuаtіоn and lеt you know аbоut hоw ѕесurе уоur рhоnе is to іnсrеаѕе уоur рrіvасу.

BlасkBеrrу іѕ trying to make thе device as ѕесurе as possible, it shows you thе ѕесurіtу оf уоur phone in thе fоrm of a grарhісаl mеtеr. In grарhісаl mеtеr thе indicator wіll роіnt at red іf уоur phone іѕ unѕесurе, уеllоw fоr fаіrlу secure аnd grееn fоr реrfесtlу secure. Bу аnаlуzіng the ѕесurіtу of уоur рhоnе will gіvе уоu multірlе suggestions tо gо thrоugh tо mаkе уоu іnсrеаѕе the security of уоur рhоnе.

What Do you think about the spec of this phone guys?

Leaked Features of Android N

We all knows that Google is now working on next Android Version "Android N".


Below are the features of upcoming os of Android N.
» Split screen and multi window : Multi-window and split screen, with the addition of native stylus inputs. Bigger phones and tablets would really be helpful with this.

» Messaging standard similar to iMessages for Android
» Native Stylus support
» Standard for Android Stylus support and Open sourced for 3rd party and app develpment : Like adding a small button where the eraser would be and using that to turn on the phone, or activate a notes app or black the screen out for instant note taking and just save it to Drive automatically. The stylus support alone would be amazing and it would open it up for third party apps like evernote to do stuff as well.
» Controls in heads up notifications (like a textbox for replying to texts straight from the notification)
» Google Now launcher API (so 3rd party launchers can put Google Now on the left most screen)
» API for screen off gestures
» Force touch support
» Dark UI mode (and switching based on time of day)
» More quick toggles
» Icon badge support
» Dynamic icon API
» Many CyanogenMod features (Weather in quicktoggle pulldown, navbar arrow keys when typing, LiveDisplay, DPI switcher)
» With native back up and sync via Google drive and what not. That would be powerful. And again. Push for all the OEMs to adopt it. No third party apos because it's usually harder to get someone to move off of their native SMS/mms app. I always use Google messenger and some use hangouts. But you never know. Building it in would be a game changer.

So, what do you guys think! Who knows, maybe this post will get ultra popular and we will get seen by someone who knows someone at google or android.
