BLACKBERRY PASSPORT : REVIEW

      BLACKBERRY PASSPORT : REVIEW






                  While Blackberry has not got the quite a reception by the consumers in the latest evolution of smart-phones.For years, BlackBerry tried to fight the iPhone, but that was a battle it brutally lost.
We know that the ideal BlackBerry user doesn't have time to play games, doesn't have time to send Snapchats, and doesn't have time for any nonsense.This person only has time for business (Workaholic)BlackBerry actually has a name for these people: “Power Pros.” Surely the passport defines the "Power Pros" and is the best for them.Lets see if it really wows you to switch from Android or iPhone ?

           

DESIGN :




              The name really just defines the design of the product , the Passport really looks like one.
Passport is really like  big , its almost 5.03 inches tall and  3.55 inches wide . And heavy too weighing a whooping  6.91 ounces . BlackBerry spent some time in a medieval torture device and got stretched it out in all four corners. making it deliberately looking as an international passport.The device is 9.3 mm thick not definitely the normal thickness.The Passport is surrounded by a metal ring around the plastic body.The Passport features the traditional physical keyboard , but this time its a 3 row physical  keyboard with this time featuring contextual auto-correction, next-word prediction and a personalized learning engine that knows what are you going to type next.We feel that the size of Passport should have been slightly increased  so that the keyboard could be a full-fledged one.


DISPLAY


             The Passport has a screen size of 4.5" with a resolution of 1440 X 1440 and a pixel density of  453 ppi . The screen is a IPS LCD screen is extremely bright, detailed, and vibrant . Not the best in the industry as per the standard flagship coming now days. But the 4.5 " screen also looks quite big on this massive device.The Passport 4.5" screen is built for business purposes like Emails and Spreadsheets so that you can work on the go. You can now display the whole web page on the screen and the directions look quite better on the screen.But its lot a pain while using the square screen like scrolling the  news feed and twitter feed . And the videos also look quite odd with the black bars eating up half the display while watching videos.


KEYBOARD :


                                     Touch-enabled BlackBerry Passport keyboard
             The Blackberry has just taken the classic iconic keyboard to the next level.The screen serves to the additional features of the keyboard .The keys are more softer and doesn't have that click sound that the blackberry mastered .The keyboard has built in sensors , so you can scroll web pages by just swiping  the keyboard and  flick to type or slide along the keys to move the cursor.All the shortcuts are built in the by just swiping or tapping the keyboard.You have to really master the keyboard , but it has now speech tying.


BATTERY AND CAMERA :

       
                        

               
             All of this is juiced by a massive 3450 mAh battery.  But the battery is not that impressive , basically it just a software problem for now. The battery sometimes gets dead in merely hours and some days it will last longer than a day.Still the whole battery is not tested.

                 The new 13-megapixel camera is the best camera any BlackBerry has ever had, but that’s not really saying much. It has autofocus, can shoot 1080p video in 30 or 60 frames per second, and its picture quality is usually good, if not great. But it’s slower than the competition, and sometimes it takes multiple seconds to launch (if it launches at all). It also takes pictures in the Passport’s square screen format by default, even though there isn’t an Instagram app available to share those square photos.


BB 10

                                      BlackBerry Assistant

             Blackberry has improved more features in BB 10 , now making it more customer friendly. The BB 10  now supports android apps and Amazon App store is now the secondary app store in the software after BB marketplace.
             The Hub features now an  instant actions  will allow you to quickly organize and action your inbox without having to go into each individual message. Plus, BlackBerry Priority Hub will get to know you and how you use your smartphone, curating a view of the most important messages and notifications.  With a single swipe to help you stay organized, in control and on top of all your conversations.
             BB 10 now also features a personal assistant just like the Siri , Cortana or the Google now.
It can do the basic stuff and all the features most of them do. It is just like the BB 10 Personal Assistant  leaked in the previous post.

PERFORMANCE :


                The Passport has got lots of power in it, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with 2.2GHz Quad-Core CPUs  and graphics is powered by Adreno 330, 450MHz GPU .
Supporting it 3 GB RAM with internal 32 GB Flash memory that can be expandable up to 128 Gb via a micro-SD card.Passport has a USB 2.0 for all those fast data transfer.
         
               Saying all these there is quite a performance lag when multitasking it fails sometimes.The camera app opens in some time and also the Personal Assistant is quite slow at times and can get lagging.Comparing it with the flagships like iPhone and Samsung it seems like just back dated .


SHOULD YOU BUY IT ??

                    While whatever you do  the Blackberry Passport is not even comparing to latest flagships. Seeing that Blackberry is not up to the mark in the market , Passport does not seem a game changer . The phablet size smart phone is just not at the right time in the market.Passport is $600 (off contract) while the iPhone 6 is just $50 dollars more and Note 4 is just $100 more.Which are way more advanced ,if you want to put a hammer in the foot just by a Passport.

The Sound has also dramatically improved as the Z3  and the Z3 compact , this also features DSEE HX (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) that is a  technology that lets you upscale low-res songs to near High-Resolution sound quality.Which is far more better . It also has High-Res Audio  which  reduces distortion and noise at wider frequency ranges to reproduce high frequency sound , this gives you a better audio experience when using for speech applications.


            While as the longy name put up by Sony the  Z3 Compact Tablet but a not so impressive technology inside it.
              Z3  Compact Tablet as the name suggest is compacted by this time only in the screen size.From a 10" display to an 8" but again a lesser resolutions. But as far as the competitions the Nexus 7 (2013) as well as iPad Mini are both way ahead of the Z3 and offer much better specs.
        
               But nothing much can be said now until the main factor that is the price at which it is going to come out will be the deciding point of this tablet. By looking at all the features and specs this doesn't look cheap.

WILL YOU CHOOSE THE Z3 COMPACT TABLET OR CHOOSE THE COMPETITORS ??

Having the same processor and same flash memory just making 3GB RAM to 2GB RAM . The best part is that Sony has kept the camera the same and has all the awesome features of the Z3.Keeping all the same is quite surprising as Sony has not reduced anything , we expect the price to be high at this time as the feature cut is not more.

ASUS ZENWATCH

ASUS ZENWATCH



                     Asus in it's IFA Berlin show revealed its edition to the Android Wear line. Asus pledging it to be "the best looking Android wear watch " .The Asus Zenwatch features a curved 2.5D design on the front and a stainless cover on the back . It has a 1.6-inch AMOLED display supporting it is a storage of 4GB  with  512MB of RAM, and powering it a Qualcomm Snapdragon  400 with
(1.2 Ghz ) CPU .

 

                       But Asus is selling it on its looks only , working on little details and also making it look better . The Zenwatch  has fine detailing like stitching on the strap and exposed screws in the back of the watch are borrowed from the classic watch industry.It has the dimensions of big and sporty watches but the smooth finish and style of a more refined device. That stylistic clash undermines Asus' premise of this being the most attractive Android Wear watch — the Moto 360 still seems to have more idiosyncratic character than any of its subsequent competitors.



                          Speaking of software Asus has stuck with the original Android wear software but keeping a slight tinge of its own.. There's a "tap tap" function to find your phone, a remote control for your smartphone's camera, and more than a hundred watch faces to choose from. Asus hasn't yet revealed the release date for its first Android Wear smartwatch , but pricing it at 199 euros.

WINDOWS 9 : Preview Date and Leaked


WINDOWS 9


                 Windows next version has been talking around a lot, as you can see the Redmond giant has not released a successor to Windows  for the past 3 years.It is  releasing its Windows 8 update for quite a while , though Windows 8.1 was major update to keep customers happy. While Apple has been updating  it's OS X every year , comparing it to the Windows family.

              Microsoft has confirmed  that the next big preview of Window and the Enterprise will be on 30th of this month.The Redmond giant is expected to change its path of Windows, it is believed that Windows 9 will unify all the devices into a unified experience for the users.While before its release Windows 9 has been leaked and shows some unique windows experience.Let's look at it.


              Start Menu :
     
              While the leaked video shows the return of the classic Windows Start Menu which users loved a lot .The video shows that the Start menu will also feature live tiles like that of Windows 8.x series and also the dashboard of the Windows 8 . We don't see any major graphic changes but as this is the leaked one's no one can guarantee it.


         
               

            Multi-Desktop :

                 While this feature has been a lot on the Linux OS for quite some time and has been one of the best features why people love Linux.The latest OS X also now supports multi-windows for user convenience.We expected this for a long time and this makes Windows more productive.




           Notifications :
       
                 Notifications now a trending upgrade for all the OS is looking to come into Windows .OS X as well as Chrome OS both now support notifications tied to their personal smart-phone OS and provides a unified experience .We hope Windows Phone and Windows get the same synchronizing or even better in this release.

Karbonn Sparkle V                 Micromax Canvas A1               Spice Dream UNO

 
        While all the phones have the same specifications so not to worry about which to choose , but their designs are different in order to choose which best suits to you.So all the phones feature a 4.5 inch FWVGA display to display those amazing pictures.Under the hood its got a Cortex A7 1.3Ghz Quad Core processor supporting it with a 1GB RAM  and 4GB internal storage (expandable up to 32GB) . It has a 5MP primary camera with flash and Auto focus capable of capturing 1080p HD videos and also a 2MP front camera.Which is quite good!!.Keeping it alive will be a 1700mAh battery and also has Dual Sim support.And of course 4.4.4 Android Kitkat out of the box.
      
         All the Android phones will be available in Stores as well as online on the three major "Internet Malls"  Flipkart , Amazon and Snapdeal. Giving all the features of pure Android experience and the world of Apps.While the phone looks quite good and features quite a bit for the price range.Comparing it with the Moto E which is somewhat of the same range , as both devices confirm the next big release it is really tough to decide.The Moto E has great display and processor but Android One phones have much better camera and confirmations of Android releases.

THE GEAR LINE




THE GEAR LINE



                     Samsung announced it's two new add-on's to it's Gear line during it's Samsung Unpacked 2014 Episode 2. With it's Note 4 and Note Edge , Samsung released it's extensions of the Note and Galaxy lines , the Gear S and Gear VR . The Gear S is the next smartwatch line and the all new VR headset. Now let's talk about it.


SAMSUNG GEAR S :

       
Revolutionary Stylish image

           The Samsung Gear S is the successor to the Gear Watch and the company is really moving forward in this market.The smartwatch family of Samsung is not doing well,  not only Samsung but also this category has not found a revolutionary product in this line.While Apple also entered in this market and also Moto 360  as well as LG G watch.While Apple has traditional display , the Moto and LG have round displays.But Samsung has taken another form factor , the Gear S features a 2 inch curved Super AMOLED display.Samsung has surprisingly not taken Android wear but their own Tizen software .
            Advanced communicator image
           While Samsung has really improved on it's design section of this Gear S , they have made vast improvements in the functionality of the design as well .Now you can customize clock faces on the screen and also change the straps of the watch to fully customize the way you want it. While you had to carry your smartphone every time you have to use the watch.But Samsung has solved this issue, they have included 3G , Wifi, Bluetooth connectivity to ease the access of use.While receiving   calls and view text or notifications was okay but Samsung has added a keyboard to respond as well .How in the god's name you will write on this small keyboard ??.
  
            While Samsung shockingly didn't take Android Wear as their primary software for the Gear smartwatch but their own Tizen software.But they did a good job on it, they just enhanced the user experience and made it quite watch friendly .They just redefined every app which is commonly or mostly used by the users. Nokia Here is the official map app which provides a turn-by-turn directions for users.And all new shortcuts as well as friendly interface in their Tizen software.

              Samsung has made Fitness an important aspect  of the Gear S ,while launching it with the S Health App .The S health app has been really improved and having a cleaned UI for easier use.The health app now easily syncs with your Galaxy smartphone , and gives you a more precise health information.Gear S featuring more enhanced multi-sensors, built in GPS and robust S Health features. It will support and coach you while exercising and help keep you motivated.
                Health mate for a healthy habit image
                   Gear S has been IP67-certified for dust and water resistance, and includes Samsung's usual panoply of sensors: there's an accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope, compass, and monitors for heart rate, UV, and ambient light. A small 300mAh battery is promised to last for two days at a time.



Gear VR :


          Beyond Imagination image1

                Samsung and Oculus have partnered for a mobile virtual reality headset calling it the Samsung Gear VR. The Gear VR  is built around the same design as the Oculus VR .The Gear VR slots in the Note 4 to use as a screen, so there are no wires or extra hook-ups to worry about lugging around. Otherwise, it functions pretty much the same as its big brother, the Oculus Rift. The field of view on the Gear VR, for instance, is 96 degrees - four shy of the Rift.Which gives quite a good viewing angle and also enhances the experience.
           96 viewing angle

                 While Google made this whole or somewhat experience with just a cardboard and some accessories .When comparing with Oculus Rift the Gear VR may be price around it somewhat , while Google did it quite cheaper.

iPhone Mania : iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus



 iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus




            Well it's Finally here. Consumers were waiting for a long time for this to happen.The iPhone has been an event for tech company , where all watch with their eyes open for the next industry defining technological marvel. Apple on 9th September 2014 released it's successor or should I saw successors to the iPhone line. Apple released two released two iPhone , but not like  the previous (one premium and another sub category phone), it released in fact(1 premium and more premium) calling it iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus .

                

             The iPhone 6 and 6 plus are both quite similar just some differences in features and hardware.Now let's see both the iPhone's.

iPhone 6 / 6 Plus

Design :

           The leak that came out few months ago was quite right actually on both the iPhones . The   iPhone 6 has a much expected larger screen size of 4.7 inch screen . It comes with a Retina HD Display with a resolution of 1334 X 750 at 326 ppi .We expected a sapphire crystal glass but got a Retina HD , while the Apple watch comes with Sapphire display.The iPhone 6 plus on the other hand supports a 5.5 inch screen ,coming with a Retina HD display with resolution of 1920 X 1080 at 401 ppi. Both the screens comes with round edges and having a scratch -fingerprint resistant display.The
iPhone 6 is just 6.9 mm thin (Slimmest iPhone ever) while the 6 plus is 7.1 mm thick.

Processor :

             Both the iPhone 's have the latest processor the A8 which is the successor of A7 chip which first introduced the 64 bit architecture .The same follows with A8 but this time they have made it.  13% smaller in size packing 2 billion transistors.  The A8 has increased the performance by 20% comparing to A7 and 50% more graphic power than A7. Apple promises sustained performance by the A8 chip that means less heating problem in Lehman's language.iPhone also has the M8 again from M7 , which is now more accurate and can tell whether you are cycling or climbing elevation.
The M8 packs an number of sensors like gyro meter,barometer ,accelerometer  and also proximity sensor.The M8 can also detect the distance and also the elevation you have reached.

iSight Camera :

iPhone 6

                The Camera on the iPhone is always the best feature and most developed area in the iPhone , both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 plus have a 8 MP main camera .Quite disappointing on this front as it is running the same pixels from a year and just increasing the enhancements each time . While the Note 4 has just doubled with 16MP .With 8MP camera and f 2.2 same as the iPhone 5S just this time it has enhanced the iSight sensor calling the Focus Pixels  which now also detects the phase detection in the picture and improves the picture quality.The iPhone on one hand has the digital image stabilization while the iPhone  6 plus has (OIS) Optical Image stabilization which is quite good and compares quite literally with the DSLR's .iSight camera also supports a 43 MP Panorama picture. 
               

                   The Front End Camera quite popularly now known as the Selfie camera now-days is the same as the iPhone 5s that is it the same 1.2 MP . Again a disappointment with Apple while Motorola gives 2MP on the Moto G (2 Gen). The camera remains the same with 720p HD recording , but they have improved the face detection . While for the selfie's Apple has provided with a burst mode so that you get the exact picture.
 
                   The iSight Camera now supports the same recording that is 1080p Full HD recording,But 
            now you can record upto 60fps.It still has the the true tone flash .But the coolest feature they have added is Slow Mo Now that's old but with 240 fps Slow Mo is like a professional video-recorder.With iPhone 6 Plus OIS just let's you record videos during constant movement and  shoot like a Pro .

iOS 8 and Tweaks :

 
                    Now there is some change in the OS , No it's the same with little tweaks.Now both the iPhone's run on the iOS 8 and just the iPhone 6 Plus has a various flavor of it. The iPhone 6 Plus can be home screen in landscape mode  just like the tablets. And also few tweaks like you can see messenger icons when chatting.Now  to access the top buttons you can extend your arm or just double tap the home button which will bring down the whole screen into half percent.Seems like Just whacky. Apple Pay is the new payments method revealed by Apple which just stores your card info in the device itself and you can pay by the Touch Id.It is not stored anywhere and no one can access it.Which just increases the security of the transactions. And now it has NFC also.
                   

 BATTERY LIFE :


                   Apple now has 20 LTE bands and  Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and also Wifi-Calling ,which is just a new communication method developed by Apple which uses Wifi to make calls.     

 

Which is your buy iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus ??

THE APPLE WATCH : REINVENTING TIME


APPLE WATCH

Meet The Apple Watch

                       This was expected from a longer time .Launching it at this as far as the competition goes they have been quite delayed or did they might have just mastered it ?. The Apple watch is the first technological gadget by this company with the i trademark of Apple but just by calling it the Apple Watch.The Apple has just reinvented time in the pure Apple fans essence.


                       Tim Cook describes it as the next chapter in Apple's history. It's a "comprehensive health and fitness device,and an extremely precise and customizable timepiece."The Apple Watch is a square shaped designed stainless-steel watch and looking through the pictures it's awfully big.The watch will come in two different sizes , the 42cm (height) and 38cm (height).Apparently the 42 for the male and 38 for the female.The Watch comes in 3 different collections ; Watch,Watch Sport,Watch Edition.The Watch comes with Stainless-Steel versions , the Watch sport with a Aluminum body which may be lighter and the Edition with 18-karat Gold editions which look quite classy.
             
                      Taking about the weight which is not clear at the moment but the Apple watch can be quite heavy by just looking at it's width in pictures.But Apple has just made the crown of the watch a Digital  Crown which is also the home button as well as can replace pinch-to-zoom , and scrolling and all other finger gestures.The Watch has four Sapphire sensors : the IR , LED diodes and also photo-sensors which measure the heart rate.It also has accelerometer and GPS which allows it to make Fitness Apps make accurate data and making fitness goals by telling the amount of calories burnt.      




              But what really sets apart the Apple Watch from it's competitors is the newly customized interface for the Watch.Just looking at the picture it just blows you away . It has really integrated with the digital crown.In addition, Apple developed something it calls “digital touch” to allow you to quickly share a sketch you draw on the watch face. Given that the watch doesn’t have a keyboard, these sketches allow you to still communicate relatively complex ideas easily.With the S6 chip and the Taptic Engine built in it can share a heartbeat with a person and also live animated emoji's.Which makes the interaction more life like.Apple also built a cool way to see your photos. You start out zoomed out, with all of your photos showing as minuscule thumbnails. Then you use the crown to zoom in. The watch uses the same gesture to zoom in and out of Apple Maps, too.


     
                           The Watch is inbuilt with NFC to make payments. Apple announced the Apple Pay which syncs quite welly with Watch .So third-party apps which  Apple preview like BMW to check where you parked the Car as well as Groupon to make deal payment and a lot more.Apple Watch uses Siri for Voice communication.The four sensors at the back also serve the purpose of charging with inductive magnetic charging plates.Apple has not revealed the Battery life but it might just last a day as we think.For Developers there is watch kit so they can just start developing their amazing apps.Android wear is still out as Apple moves in the market and now there are two masters redefining technology.
                   
                        The Moto 360 , the LG watch and Gear are in some for serious competition.

Which one will be your Jewel??
