The present scenario in the smartphone front has shifted almost entirely to bezel-less designs. With customers getting fascinated by the idea of “infinity display”, companies have also been launching products with similar designs.

In the camera front, these phones come with a dual rear camera set up, that is a combination of a 20 MP and a 16 MP camera with f/1.7 aperture and LED flash. At the front area, the phones come with 20 MP camera. The selfie cameras are packed with A.I. Beauty Recognition technology, that are capable to analyze the sex, age, skin color, skin texture.

Another notable feature in the hardware front of these devices is the what OPPO calls are the phone’s “crescent arcs”. This prevents the user’s hands from blocking the audio output while watching videos or playing games.

The R11S features a 4GB RAM and have an expandable internal storage of 64GB that can be extended up to 256GB with microSD. Similarly, the R11S Plus comes with a 6GB RAM and 64GB of internal memory, expandable memory up to 256GB with microSD.

Both of these phones also feature a fingerprint scanner at the rear panel.

Xiaomi on an event today introduced two new phone under the Redmi series, namely, Redmi Y1 and Y1 Lite. Here, Y stands for Youth and is targeted towards a younger audience with a low price tag. But Xiaomi already has budget phones like the Redmi 4A, and the 4X. The new phones feel like a little upgrade over these phones with focus on selfie and screen real estate to go head on against the new competitions in the market. Also, they are expensive compared to 4A and 4X. So let’s find out what these new devices have to offer.

iPhone X facial recognition shows mixed results in identifying twins

iPhone X facial recognition shows mixed results in identifying twins

The iPhone X is Apple’s most expensive smartphone till date. Among the others, the face recognition feature of it has made a buzz around the world. While the company has always claimed that the feature may not give the best results for twins, triplets, and children under the age of 13, it has now been revealed that the system is not totally fruitless in that area.

Apple wasn’t hesitant in sharing that the probability of someone else unlocking your iPhone X with the face recognition feature is 1 in 1,000,000 compared to 1 in 50,000 with the touch ID. Further, it added that the probability of a false match is different for twins and siblings that look like you as well as among children under the age of 13, because their distinct facial features may not have been fully developed.

Various companies have put the feature to test and have come up with different findings. Mashable ran the test for two sets of identical twins, both of whom suffered false matches. The Face ID failed to register the difference for them. Similarly, another test by the Wall Street Journal showed that once, Declan registered his face on the system, both his brothers were able to unlock the iPhone X without much effort.

However, the finding of the test done by Business Insider begs to differ from the others. When testing the phone with one set of twins, one of who tries on a hat, a scarf, then all three, the phone passed the tests. The phone unlocked for one of them but not the other.

Meanwhile, when put in tests in normal conditions, reviewers seem fairly positive about the iPhone X face recognition system. They say that it works in low light, with glasses on, sunglasses on; making it nearly accurate.

Whether twins or children under thirteen, if your phone gets unlocked by others, it is an alarm! Similarly, this certainly is a downside because touch ID works very well for issues as such. Meanwhile, another piece from Mashable article stated that Windows has already solved the setback with its Windows Hello Facial Recognition system! Whether Apple can set itself free from this concern, we are yet to see.

The UltraMotion display has an adaptive refresh technology that synchronizes the GPU and display which removes image tearing or lag. All in all, the Razer phone has a phenomenal display.

To optimize the power and performance of all of these specifications and guarantee that the users can get the ultimate gaming experience, Razer has partnered with the world’s top gaming companies: Tencent and Square Enix.

In terms of the UI, the phone operates on stock Android Nougat 7.1.1 and comes with the premium version of the Nova Launcher preloaded. The OS can be upgraded to Android Oreo.

On the photography front, the phone houses dual rear 12 MP cameras and gives the photographers a versatile tool to create closer to reality images. This dual camera setup is the same as that of iPhone- one camera has a f/1.8 lens for wide shots and the other is a telephoto f/2.6 shooter, and the dual-tone flash ensures that the images always look close to natural. Also, the front camera is 8MP with f/2.0 aperture.

The 8mm slim aluminum body of the Razer Phone is powered by a 4000mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ support.

Ncell’s Missed Call Notification (MCN) Service is now free

Most of you probably know or even use the Missed Call Notification (MCN) service. The same service that used to cost you around Rs 2 every week is finally a free service now.

What is Ncell Missed Call Notification?

Missed Called Notification or as Ncell calls it MCN, is a service that enables you to not miss calls even when your phone is turned off or out of network coverage.

How does it work?

You will receive a detailed SMS notification of all the calls you missed as soon as you switch on your mobile phone or when you enter the network coverage area.

We understand your every call is important

How much do I have to pay?

It used to cost Rs 2.51, but this service is free as of today, November 1.

How do I subscribe to this service?

All you need to do is call *9141# and you will automatically be subscribed to the service.

Verdict on Ncell Missed Call Notification Service (MCN)

It is not always possible to stay on the same place forever. Even if it was possible, there is not a guarantee to receive the network signals of the phone every single time. And what happens if somebody calls at such times of signal/network unavailability? Needless to answer, we would miss the call. That’s only the case of signal unavailability. We would face the same problem if we are busy on another call (if call waiting is not activated) or if the phone is switched off. So in order to avoid such scenario, Ncell had brought the Missed Call Notification service a long time back. And even used to charge Rs. 2.51 (with tax included) per week for the service a few days back.

Now with the charges lifted, Ncell seems to value the customers’ calls and willing to buzz about the missed calls for free. With this service activated, the users who missed the calls will receive text messages with the missed calls info as soon as they are available (receive the signals or have their phones switched on). With the service being free, most of the users are going to activate for sure. This also results in boundless communications among the people. So, cheers!

So, do you think this step from Ncell was important? With the service being free, are you going to activate it? Feel free to express yourself in the comment section.

Goenka Infotech Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of HTC phones in Nepal has launched a mid-range device in Nepal, the HTC Desire 10 Pro. The phone is priced at Rs. 32,490 in Nepal which is considerably low compared to Indian launch price of INR. 26,990 (Rs. 43,184).

The HTC Desire 10 Pro comes with metal chassis with rubberized back for proper grip, since the phone comes with a 5.5-inch display and the bezels are considerably big. The display here is a Full HD unit with the pixel density of 401ppi and the screen is protected with a Corning Gorilla Glass 4.

Powering the phone is the MediaTek’s Helio P10 chipset which is an average performer. At this price, Snapdragon 625 SoC would have been a better choice.

It also lacks a dedicated selfie flash which a lot of phones are offering at the similar price but it offers screen flash.

The HTC Desire 10 Pro has a rear mounted fingerprint sensor which is one of the greatest distinction between the pro and a normal model. The phone is backed up by 3,000mAh battery and the phone supports fast charging as well. The phone is pretty basic when you compare it with other phones at the same price range. Alternatives for HTC Desire 10 Pro are Xiaomi A1 and Samsung J7 Pro.

The USP of the device is its 4,100 mAh battery which, according to HMD Global, will provide two or more days of battery life under minimal usage. With this huge battery, it can sure go up against some of the popular entry-level smartphones available right now. HMD Global has also boasted the inclusion of Google Assistant in the device, mentioning it to be the first of its kind in the entry-level smartphone category.

The Nokia 2 will go on sales starting mid-November in the international market. It is available in three color options, namely, Black, White, and Copper. We are yet to receive any news regarding its launch in Nepal since the device is only a few hours old.
