Kickstarter Project: This ball emits safe UV light to kill harmful germs

If you like to keep things clean, you surely are worried about the presence of microorganisms around you. Keeping this in mind, a company dedicated towards LED devices has created a prototype of the world’s first blue light emitting ball which serves the sole purpose of killing germs.

The Orb is a ping pong sized ball that emits blue UV light which is capable of killing and inhibiting the growth of harmful microorganisms. It gives off 405nm light which is just enough to kill harmful germs such as bacteria, algae, and fungi among others.

DESIGN

Like I already mentioned, the Orb has a spherical design. It is due to this design that the device can emit the light equally everywhere. The manufacturers have made the Orb waterproof. So, you can even purify water from the device.

WHAT THE ORB DOES

According to its Kickstarter page, the Orb emits a 405nm light which is effective in inhibiting microorganisms. Different studies have confirmed on blue light destroying different infectious disease causing microorganisms. The Orb specializes in maintaining your EnviroHygiene and making your environment free of diseases.

USES OF THE ORB

  • Cleaning daily used household products
  • Keeping your shoes clean and free from bacteria
  • Killing the germs present in food products
  • Purifying water and water reservoir

The Orb comes from a company called LED Technologies, Inc. which is not a new name in the American market. The company’s products can currently be found at Target, Amazon and Kohl’s among others. The Orb seems to be a pretty decent product. And, as a Public Health student, I am looking forward to this product.

HOW TO BACK THE PROJECT

  • Go to their Kickstarter page
  • Make a pledge
  • As easy as that!

LED Technologies has included some pretty sweet deals according to the pledge you make. You can view all of the details on the product’s Kickstarter page.

Samsung Galaxy A7 2017 (Early Impression Review)

Samsung Galaxy A7 2017

While designing this phone Samsung seems to have borrowed design aesthetics right from its last year’s flagship the Galaxy S7. Like the S7, the phone is made using the glass and the metal. The 2.5D glass on the front and the curved 3D glass on the back does feel good on the hands but are a true fingerprint magnet. The metal frame along the edges that is slightly curved aids in making the phone look more premium. The phone is a little heavy but that is considerable for a 5.7inch phone.

The 5.7inch Super AMOLED display is pretty bright and the colors look pretty punchy as well. The display with options for “always-on” is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

The A7 2017 is running on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and the Samsung’s Grace UI looks much impressive than the TouchWiz UI. The phone does come with some bloatware and most of them can be considered to be the useful ones. During our early usage, the device has a quick response and the apps loaded pretty quickly as well.

Samsung Galaxy A7 2017

Coming to the cameras, it has 16MP, f/1.9 units both on the front and the back that are capable of shooting videos of 1080p at the highest. The early samples taken from both the cameras look promising. The camera app is pretty easy to catch with.

This IP68 certified water and dust resistant phone packs 3600 mAh battery and during the time of my early impression, I did notice the battery was keeping up pretty well. So, we can expect good battery life from this phone with power efficient processor and OLED display.

The fingerprint sensor is fast and pretty reliable. Just like the J7 prime, the loudspeaker is placed at the top right edge and is pretty loud indeed.

This was our early impression on the galaxy A7 2017 and after using the phone for a couple of weeks, we’ll surely be releasing its full review. Stay tuned.

Xiaomi Mi6 Leaks: Everything You need to Know

With the first quarter of 2017 closing in, we have seen amazing phones like the LG G6, and the almighty S8 and S8+. Mi flagships are something we are less excited about, but it’s 2017, and everything in technology is blowing my mind these days. Recently, leaks of Mi 6 has started appearing and it is absolutely gorgeous. If you loved the display of S8 then you’re in for a treat seeing the Mi 6.

There have been few renders of the Mi 6, but it’s not quite certain which will make it to the assembly line. The other renders are similar to Mi 5 with an edge-to-edge display and usual industrial design. Having used the Mi Mix, the bezel-less render of Mi 6 has to be the most beautiful phone I’ve ever seen. But before getting all hyped up, the render clearly shows no navigation bar and instead of the bottom chin, it has a favorable upper chin.

Now talking about specs, nothing is certain when you’re talking about leaks but these days they are pretty much accurate. Let’s hope it’s true for Mi 6 as well. So, the phone will come in two variant, Mi 6 and the Mi 6 Plus. The Mi 6 will come with a 5.15-inch display and the Mi 6 Plus will come with a 5.7inch display. Both the phones sport Full HD panel. Powering the phone will be the latest Snapdragon 835 Chipset. Mi 6 will come in 4GB and 6GB RAM variant with 32/64/128GB options. And the Mi 6 Plus will come with 6GB of RAM and 64/128GB option. All of the storage variants will be based on UFS 2.0, which means faster R/W speed resulting in faster performance.

On the photography front, both Mi 6 variant comes with a dual back camera 15+15MP.  On the front, it’ll have an 8MP Ultra Pixel Camera. Ultra Pixel Camera’s let more light enter into the sensor resulting in bright and sharp photos and is usually used for making night shots better. Both the phones will be running on Android Nougat with MIUI 8 on top.

Mi 6 Plus will be backed up by 4,500mAh battery while the Mi 6 will come with 4,000mAh battery. Mi 6 with 4GB RAM and either 32/64GB storage will cost $290 and $335 respectively. The more powerful Mi6 with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage will be priced at $390. Mi 6 Plus with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage will cost $375 and the higher end version with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage will cost $435.

Mi 6 is set to launch on April 11.

Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Launched in Nepal

Good news peeps! Samsung has officially launched the Samsung Gear S3 frontier here in Nepal. The company has priced the product at Rs. 41,900 and is available from different smartphone retail outlets and from online store smart doko.

Released in November last year, the launch of the device came in as a surprise to many as the high-end smartwatch market has been on a decline. As far as the specifications go, the Samsung Gear S3 comes with a 1.3-inch Super AMOLED display with the resolution of 360 x 360 pixels (278 for the PPI). Just like most of Samsung’s high-end devices, this watch also supports the always-on display, which, of course, is really necessary for a smartwatch (duh!). The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass SR+. The display is lined by a circular bezel that spins and lets you breeze through the OS.

Samsung Gear S3 FrontierThe Gear S3 frontier is a premium watch that is covered in stainless steel 316L. It weighs just around 63 grams. The device is IP69 certified, meaning it can survive under 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes.

Underneath the hood, the Samsung Gear S3 frontier is powered by a Dual-core Exynos 7270 processor clocked at 1.0 GHz. This is coupled with 768MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. On the software side, the device runs on Samsung’s very own Tizen-based wearable 2.3.2 OS. This is disappointing as the many apps for the operating system aren’t available just yet.

The Gear S3 frontier supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It is backed by a non-removable 380 mAh Li-Ion battery. The battery can be charged via WPC wireless charging.

4 reasons to move for older flagship smartphone

4 reasons to move for older flagship smartphone

We all know how expensive those new flagships are; with a new processor, new design, new features buying the latest flagship smartphone will empty your bank. While the latest smartphone might be awesome to have, sometimes it is smarter to buy older handsets. And, here are 4 reasons to choose older flagship devices:

1. Old flagships have still got enough power

Even though the new phones have the latest and the fastest processor, the processor inside old flagships won’t lag while doing simple tasks and playing hardcore games. But you must realize that the processor in old phones are outdated and aren’t as fast as the new ones. Take for instance the S7 Edge, it’s still a great phablet and comes with similar specs compared to S8.

2. The latest features aren’t a must

The new features added in the newest flagships are great and attractive to the users but is it really necessary? The 4k video recording, iris scanner, modularity, waterproofing, forced touch etc. aren’t a must for daily usage. The features are definitely plus points but are not worth the extra money.

3. Latest smartphones may have unknown bugs

When you buy the latest smartphone you are taking a risk as there may be some uncovered hardware or software bugs. But when you opt for an older handset you can find its problems and solutions and there are already lots of problem documentation and information on forums, which can be really helpful.

4. Old flagships are cheaper

So another reason to approach older phones is that it will be much cheaper than the flagships. All people cannot afford the expensive latest smartphone so people can choose to buy the cheaper older flagship.

Prices of Older Flagships:

  • OP3: Rs.39,999 (Oliz Store)
  • S7 (32GB): Rs. 57,900
