Overcharging: Does it destroy your smartphone’s battery?

0

If you change your phone every two years or so, you don’t need to worry about the topic I am going to discuss.

Many of us change our smartphones every now and then, and when we do this, we don’t really notice the battery’s decline. But if we use it for a little longer, our battery capacity decreases exponentially.

Some of us think that leaving our phone charging overnight will damage our battery while others think it is okay to leave them charging overnight. However, it actually depends on circumstances you’re leaving your phone in.

But, I have to mention one thing. Smartphones are equipped with chips that can protect devices from excess charging once they are fully charged. So, overcharging can’t really harm your devices, unless under certain circumstances.

I have to mention that most smartphones make use of a technology that makes battery accept current faster. Such technology allows power to pulse into the battery in specific modulations, increasing the speed at which the lithium ions in the battery travel from one side to the other, causing the battery to charge quicker.

The same technology, however, tends to slowly damage the battery via chemical actions. Basically, because of this fast charging, our battery’s condition deteriorates. Note that fast charging here doesn’t refer to the Quick charging capabilities phones have. They simply refer to your battery charging faster than usual. You should also keep your phone’s temperature in mind. Explaining smartphones and their heating, Apple says, “Your device is designed to perform well in a wide range of ambient temperatures, with 62° to 72° F (16° to 22° C) as the ideal comfort zone. It’s especially important to avoid exposing your device to ambient temperatures higher than 95° F (35° C), which can permanently damage battery capacity”.

So how can you stop the deterioration of your battery? It’s simple actually. If your original charger charges your battery faster, use another charger that will charge it slower. Or think of it this way, if you use your iPhone’s charger to charge your iPad, your iPad will charge slowly. Charging your electronics this way could actually save your battery’s life. Furthermore, keep your phone’s temperature in check. Don’t let them overheat. This will make sure that your phone’s battery doesn’t go downhill.

Finally, if you change your device every two years, you need not worry about this because batteries start showing signs of wearing only after two years.

Newly replaced Samsung Galaxy Note 7 still having battery problems

2

Samsung had recalled the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 for its battery woes earlier this month. Since then, the company has started to replace the devices that have been sent back. But, it looks as though the problems of the Galaxy Note 7’s battery will still exist in the new devices.

According to the South Korean TV network YTN, customers are facing new battery problems in their replaced devices. YTN has reported that the new Galaxy Note 7 devices are overheating and quickly losing their battery power even when charged.

However, these cases have been reported only in South Korea until now. Samsung had started dispatching the replaced Note 7 in the country since September 19.
A beast of a device, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is facing many problems since its release.
A beast of a device, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is facing many problems since its release.

A user in Korea claims that he went out with his Note 7’s battery at 90%. But in a short period of time, the battery percentage went down quickly to 50% and overheated. Similarly, in a more serious claim, another user says that his Galaxy Note 7’s battery is draining at the rate of 1% per second, even when the device is being charged. He also mentions that his phone’s battery never reaches 10% even when he leaves it plugged in all night.

When asked about the issue, a Samsung spokesman told the Wall Street Journal that the issue is “completely unrelated to batteries”. He also added that the incidents are isolated cases and Samsung are conducting close examinations.

Samsung recently stated that it has already replaced almost 500,000 Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in the USA alone. So if any users are facing these problems, they will come forward to complain about it.

Huawei P9 Lite with 8MP Selfie Snapper Launched in Nepal

1

Huawei Mobile Nepal has unveiled the affordable variant of its latest flagship Huawei P9, the Huawei P9 Lite in Nepal. The company has priced the phone at Rs. 31,999 and is available for purchase from various Huawei outlets all across the nation.

The Huawei P9 Lite takes advantage of the Huawei P9 design with a premium look and feel — all thanks to a metal frame. It has a 5.2-inch 1080P IPS panel like the Huawei P9, but it’s slightly dim and more reflective than the P9. The screen also lacks scratch-resistant glass which means a screen protector is highly recommended. The phone is powered by Huawei’s in-house Kirin 650 SoC which comes with a four cortex A53 cores running at 2Ghz and four cortex A53 cores running at 1.7Ghz. The graphics is provided by a Mali-T830 MP2 GPU which provides decent gaming performance in low to medium settings.

huawei-p9-lite

As far as storage is concerned, the Huawei P9 Lite that’s launching in Nepal has 3GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage which can be expanded via microSD card upto 128GB (uses SIM2). Unlike the Huawei P9 that utilises dual camera, the Huawei P9 Lite sports 13 megapixels Sony IMX 214 sensor which in fact is the same sensor found in the OnePlus One, Xioami Mi4 and Obi SF1. If it’s anything like the cameras of the abovementioned phones,  you should expect excellent performance from the rear camera. Upfront, the Huawei P9 houses an 8MP front camera.

Like with almost all the recently launched Huawei phones, the Huawei P9 Lite also comes with a best-in-class fingerprint sensor that the company claims will unlock the phone in less than 0.2 seconds. Connectivity wise, it has dual hybrid SIM with 4G LTE, dual band Wi-Fi b/g/n (no ac), Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, NFC, and microUSB. Powering the device is a non-removable 3,000mAh battery that lacks fast charging capabilities.

Introducing ‘Spectacles’: Snapchat’s sunglasses that have cameras

0

Who wouldn’t love wearing shades that can work as a camera too? Snap, Inc. just announced the release of their new product—Spectacles. The device (or sunglasses) can take pictures, and make you look cool at the same time (lame one!). And if do not know, Snapchat just rebranded its name to Snap, Inc. The company took this move because it is now offering things beyond Snapchat.

The Spectacles will have cameras on both sides. These cameras will be able to record a 10-second video through its 115-degree angled lens, just by a tap. It will snap a circular video, which will make sure that the video will be displayed naturally when you view later. The company has claimed that this will make the videos look something close to the human vision. And Snapchat Spectacles, basically, take a video and then sync it with your smartphone so you can share them later.

Snapchat’s co-founder and CEO Evan Spiegel shared his experiences about the Snapchat Spectacles whilst its announcement today. “When I got the footage back and watched it, I could see my own memory, through my own eyes—it was unbelievable”, Spiegel told the Wall Street Journal. “It’s one thing to see images of an experience you had, but it’s another thing to have an experience of the experience”, he added.

Snapchat Spectacles will run you $130.

The Snapchat Spectacles will cost $129.99 when it will be released this Autumn. The device will be compared with Google’s already discontinued product—the Google Glass. Although the Google Glass had more features compared to the Snapchat Spectacles, it used to cost $1370 more than the all-new Spectacles.

Referring the Snapchat Spectacles as ‘toys’, Spiegel mentioned that they will slowly start rolling them out to figure out if it fits into people’s lives or not.

The glasses will be made available in three different colors – black, teal, and coral.

Samsung has launched a new budget-oriented smartphone, the Samsung Z2, in Nepal for Rs. 7,290 (Current Price: Rs. 6,290). Unlike other smartphones from Samsung that comes with Android Operating System, the Samsung Z2 is powered by Tizen OS.

The Tizen OS comes pre-loaded with features such as Ultra Data Saving mode, S bike mode, and My Money Transfer with which users can easily manage transactions and generate mini bank statements.

If recent emerging reports are accurate, then Yahoo is in serious problem-its users will be severely affected. And the report says that Yahoo is apparently on the verge of reporting a massive data breach of its service. Kara Swisher, a tech journalist  at Recode says that Yahoo is preparing to confirm a massive data breach that has impacted over 200 million users.

Earlier this summer, Yahoo said it was investigating a data breach in which hackers claimed to have access to 200 million user accounts. The hack became known in August when an infamous cyber criminal named Peace said on a website that he was selling credentials of 200 million Yahoo users from 2012 on the dark web for just over $1,800. The data allegedly included user names, easily decrypted passwords, personal information like birth dates and other email addresses.

CG Launches Budget VR Headset

You’ll probably never go to Space, spend a day with a dinosaur, run an Olympic 100 meters, or sing onstage with your favorite band. But if virtual reality ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things and many more without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality (the actual world in which we live), virtual reality means simulating bits of our world (or completely imaginary worlds) using high-performance computers/devices and sensory equipment, like headsets and gloves.

Oculus VR, Google Cardboard are the dominant names in the virtual reality. Oculus VR is a little bit expensive whereas the price of Google Cardboard ranges. While here in our home country we can find VR headset of various companies whose price ranges. But recently Chaudhary Group has launched a budget VR headset named VR Shinecon which is indeed good news for all who wants to taste the new experience. The VR Shinecon will be available on two options- One with the remote and one without the remote. The VR Shinecon with the remote costs Rs. 2,199 and the VR Shinecon without the remote costs Rs. 1,499.

What you get?

  • Viewing angle of 90-99 degree
  • Supports Android and iOS smartphones with the 3.5 to 6-inches screen
  • Can feel the thrill of 3D movies
  • Can experience the excitement of exhilarating 3D games
  • Ergonomically crafted for user’s comfort

How to adjust?

After buying, you will be wondering on the way of adjusting your phone into the VR Shinecon which is extremely easy. There’s a dial on top for adjusting the PD and FD (including within 600 degrees of myopia – no need to wear glasses), a knob on both sides for adjusting the object distance, and lenses that can be moved further apart or closer together for focal adjustment.

AOL CEO Tim Armstrong’s Twitter has been hacked

The AOL CEO’s Twitter account has been hacked by an unknown individual, and posted spammy tweets at a rate of 20 a second. AOL said they’re on it after CEO Tim Armstrong’s Twitter account was hacked.

It looks like this:

timarmstronghacked

At first it looked like Baidu (Chinese search engine) link but after clicking it, it will refer us to an advert for a weight loss supplement masquerading as a TMZ article.

Prior to joining AOL, Armstrong was Vice President of Advertising for Google, where he ran their north American advertising sales, operations and commerce teams after previous roles for Snowball.com and ABC/ESPN. He began his career by co-founding a newspaper, and also launched what claims to be the first consumer internet magazine, I-Way. Armstrong is married with three children and is also a founder of the United Football League.

We will update on this as soon as any information is released by the AOL.
