Instagram enables Photo Sharing via Website

1

Instagram is the world’s biggest photo sharing platform with more than 700 million users. It is the place for all your selfies, photo filters, food photos and what not. Instagram is strategizing its growth and has been rolling out new features. Recently we saw the offline feature on Instagram which allowed to comment and Like on Posts and Follow people even while offline. But that was all for the Instagram App but the Instagram Web has been pretty much left untouched, till now!

Instagram Web

Instagram Web just allowed to View, Like and Comment on Posts, Follow and Search for people. It was missing the major feature of Instagram or the thing Instagram was made for, photo sharing! Now, that feature has been secretly enabled on the Instagram Web for Mobile and Tablets. Despite being allowed to upload photos, you’re still missing an integral experience of Instagram sharing. That is, you cannot apply filters or edit photos on the go, no Direct Messages, Upload to Stories and no Geotagging. You can, however, toggle between square and wide crop and rotate the image. Lightweight Explore Tab is also enabled. 

This feature has been enabled to attract more users to the Instagram platform. Specifically, for those in areas where internet connectivity is poor and cannot download the entire Instagram app. And for those who don’t have powerful phones and enough storage to run the app.

Note:

This feature is just for the Instagram Web on Mobile and Tablets. A similar feature for the desktop will be rolling out soon.  You still cannot upload videos.

Smartphone with a massive 10,000 mAh battery launching next month

0

These days, the launch of smartphones with 4,000 mAh battery leave us in an awe. We praise the manufacturers for thinking about their customers and including a battery that could last 2 or even 3 days in total. But what if a manufacturer came up with a smartphone whose battery could last a whopping 15 days in total? Well, the day we can witness this may not be far as Oukitel, a smartphone manufacturer from Shenzhen, China, is set to launch a smartphone with 10,000 mAh battery next this June.

The Oukitel K10000 Pro isn’t the first smartphone from the company to feature such a massive battery. It had previously launched the Oukitel K10000 back in December 2015. And using the slogan ‘To Be the King’, the manufacturer is set to launch another beast of a device again.

Specification wise, the Oukitel K10000 Pro will sport a 5.5-inch display with the resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. The display will wear a version of Corning Gorilla Glass which the company hasn’t mentioned yet. Under the hood, it will run on a 1.5 GHz Octa-core MediaTek MT6750 processor which will be coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

Oukitel is yet to disclose other specifications and the price tag of the device. Whatever the price tag is, the fact that it will house a 10,000 mAh battery is more than impressive. But how long will it take to charge this battery completely? Oukitel has said that the K10000 pro will come with a 12V/2A flash charger which is capable of charging the battery in about 3 hours.

The fact that it has such a huge battery means that the Oukitel K10000 pro will have a heft to it. The device will weigh 292.5 gram. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S8 weighs 155 gram whereas the iPhone 7 weighs 138 gram.

So what do you think about the Oukitel K10000 pro? Are you interested in buying this device? Are devices with such a large battery a necessity? Let us know in the comment section below!

0

We have been writing about the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) from as early as February 2017. First, we shared about its design render video and the expected specs of the phone. Then we shared its press image leak and WiFi Certification release two months ago. That WiFi certification didn’t share much other than the phone will be running on Android 7 Nougat. But the latest leak of the phone reveals all of its Specs. The Galaxy J7 2017 recently got spotted in GFXBench as “SM-J730” and here’s everything you need to know about the phone.

Samsung Galaxy J7 2017: Specs Revealed on GFXBench

Samsung Galaxy J7 2017

The next iteration of J7 will have noticeable upgrades as compared to last years J7 and the one before that. The screen size of 5.5ich is same as those two J7 but will have a greater resolution of 1920*1080 pixels. The phone will be running on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat. It will be powered by Exynos 7870, an Octa-core CPU clocked at 1.5GHz. Another upgrade the phone will be having is in the RAM department since it’ll have a 3GB RAM. So, the phone will have a configuration identical to that of current J7 Prime as this too will come with base storage of 16GB.

The another upgrade the phone will have is in the selfie camera department as it will sport a 12MP camera on the front. The Back Camera too will be of 12Megapixels. Both the cameras will shoot videos of up to 1080p. The phone seems to be coming with all essential sensors except one and that’s the fingerprint sensor.

Pricing and Availability:

No information about the phone’s pricing has yet been revealed. But the phone is likely to be released anytime soon. So, once the phone gets officially launched. The phone will certainly make to the market of Nepal after few months from its initial release.

Verdict:

This leak on Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 came with both the Good News and the Bad News. The Good News is it has Full HD Screen, 12MP front shooter, 3GB RAM and the Nougat. The Bad News is it comes with 16GB of onboard storage and doesn’t sport a fingerprint scanner. So despite its these two major flaws, if the phone gets the pricing right, it has some good chances to do well in the market just like its predecessors, if not more.
