iPhone X facial recognition shows mixed results in identifying twins

0

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.

The Razer phone comes with an astounding 8GB of RAM along with an expandable 64GB internal storage. Moreover, to enhance the gaming experience, the phone comes with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor.

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.

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

0

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.ncell missed call notification service mcn gadgetbyte nepal

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.ncell missed call notification service mcn gadgetbyte nepal

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.

0

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.

HTC Desire 10 Pro price Nepal

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. The phone also comes with 4GB of RAM which would be plenty for heavy multitasking. For storage, the phone offers 64GB of internal storage which can be further expanded up to 256GB using the second SIM tray. On the downside, the phone is still running on Android Marshmallow with no signs of future updates.

The phone looks really impressive in the optics department with a high megapixel count. The phone comes with 20MP Primary camera with f/2.2 aperture and laser autofocus for faster focus. The phone is capable of shooting Full HD video at 30fps, however, it cannot shoot 4K videos. Up front, it boasts a 13MP secondary camera with f/2.2 aperture and Auto HDR. 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.

Specifications of HTC Desire 10 Pro:

  • 5.5 inches (1080 x 1920) IPS LCD display @401ppi
