5 Crazy things 5G will be able to do in the future

0

We all know that 5G is arriving by the end of the decade, and we all know what it is capable of. Nokia, one of the leading research companies in 5G technology, demonstrated the 5G speed of 30 Gb/s. For starters, that’s thousand times faster than the current 4G connection. With such speed, Nokia forecasts that 5G will have some interesting capabilities in the future. Here are the 5 crazy things 5G will be able to do in the future:

  1. Driverless car:
    The major problem existing right now with the self-driving cars is that the current wireless technology has a higher rate of Latency (time taken by a packet of data to get from one designated point to another). If there is high latency, there will be a lag between the car’s sensor and the data centre sending data’s to the car.
    self-driving-cars Since 5G cellular technology uses the spectrum above 6GHz, it offers offer ‘virtually zero’ latency. This leads to self-driving cars being more reliable and the case for accidents and crash will be very rare.
  2. Virtual Reality:
    5G will provide a new era for online video gamers. When you put on a virtual reality machine on your head, you will be able to enjoy a virtual world by interacting with the games, different scenes, etc. However, with the help of 5G, you will be able to send remote commands in real time without noticeable latency, making Virtual Reality look like a real life experience.
  3. Immersive UHD Multimedia Experience
    If you are a sports fan, you will definitely love this one. Just imagine watching your favorite team play in real-time on your TV. With 5G’s ridiculous fast speed, you will be able to watch real-time goals, tackles, passes from various angles, and get the most out of the game. Other interesting service scenarios include interactive 360° movies, online games, remote education, and live concerts.
  4. Smart Homes
    With the capabilities of 5G system design, it will provide support for up to a million simultaneous connections enabling all your home appliances and devices to communicate with each other autonomously. Examples include a smart fire extinguisher that alerts your neighbouring home in case of emergency, a smart refrigerator that recommends a recipe to be cooked with ingredients that are already in your refrigerator and considering a number of calories your body needs, thanks to a smart watch that is constantly monitoring your energy level in your body.5G-smart city
  5. Rise of the Robots
    With 5G’s low latency and high speed, it will immensely allow wireless robots to perform complicated tasks that you have never heard of. The Internet of Things lets masts(towers) connect with thousands of sensors and machines with which Robots can be used in various applications like robotic surgical tools, surveillance drones, etc

Samsung Galaxy S7 Price, Rumors roundup

0

Today, Samsung will unveil its Galaxy S7, the seventh phone of the galaxy S series line. Samsung will launch the phone at its ‘unpacked’ event today, February 21st, at 11:45 p.m. local time. Like we have seen in the past with Galaxy S6, we know that the flagship will be launched alongside the S7 Edge that has a curved display. So here’s what has been buzzing around about the Samsung Galaxy S7:

Design| Samsung Galaxy S7

samsung-galaxy-s7We would not expect any drastic changes in the design of the S7 as the S6 was a total redesign from the past galaxy s phones. Samsung has really taken the time to make the designs of their flagships more premium than ever, with metal and glass body.

From the recently leaked renders, we can see that the design of S7 and S7 Edge is not that far from S6, which isn’t a bad thing at all. Another leaked picture shows the back of the phone and again it doesn’t differ from the S6 series. The back looks more curved and it seems that there is no bump for the camera like in the S6 series.

I should say that the leaked images may be different from the official one. But it provides us with a small glimpse of what is to come from the S7 series. It looks like Samsung has taken the core design from the S6 and modified the design to look sleeker and more premium.


Specs| Samsung Galaxy S7

Every flagship from Samsung has the best screen, with the Super AMOLED display and, it won’t be different this time. Both the S7 and S7 Edge most probably will have quad HD resolution like in the S6. What we have also been hearing is that the S7 Edge will have a larger display with 5.5-inch while the regular S7 will be the same 5.1-inch.

s7_antutu_scores

Samsung has opted to go for the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset. But there will be variation in chipset from phones bought in different regions. It is rumored that the Snapdragon 820 version will be available in U.S. market while other S7 phones in another region will use Samsung’s new Exynos 8 Octa chipsets. Whether its Snapdragon 820 version or the Exynos version, we think that both of them will be equally powerful and there won’t be much difference to compare.

Battery| Samsung Galaxy S7

The camera, performance, and design everything were great in the S6 except for the battery life; which was really poor. Even though wireless and fast charging was there, it didn’t make up for the battery being so weak.

galaxy-s7-s7-edge

This time, around Samsung will include a larger 3000mAh battery in the regular S7, which is a good improvement from the S6’s 2550mAh battery. And for the S7 Edge 3600mAh battery will be opted. Like in S6 both of the devices will offer wireless and fast charging.

Camera| Samsung Galaxy S7

Samsung is the manufacturer of the best cameras in smartphones – the galaxy S6, S6 Edge to the Note 5; all of them take amazing pictures. From low light shots to recording 4k videos, the Samsung phones prove their worth.
s7-cameraWe definitely wouldn’t want the camera to change but it is said that Samsung will downgrade the resolution from 16 megapixels to 12 megapixels. But the aperture of the new S7 will be better than the previous and will allow the phone to take even greater looking pictures in low light situations. I don’t think the downgrade of resolution of the camera is concerning as we all know Samsung is best in the camera department.

MicroSD| Samsung Galaxy S7

We didn’t see micro SD slots in S6 series and Note 5, and many users had a lot to say about it. Finally, Samsung may have listened to their customers and we could see the return of SD card slot in the S7. Some rumors suggest that even if they do not have the separate slot for the SD card, the sim tray may also hold the microSD.

Water Resistant| Samsung Galaxy S7

The S7 and S7 Edge will offer an IP67 water-resistant design. So the users can use the phone in the rain and they wouldn’t have to worry about the phone if it falls into puddles.

Software UI
The Galaxy S7 has also been featured in a brief hands-on video, revealing the latest version of TouchWiz, layered on top of Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Pricing

It has been rumored that Samsung Galaxy S7 will cost €699 while theS7 Edge will be available at €799. Samsung will also be throwing a free Gear VR headset for early birds.

These are all the news and rumors we have heard about the Samsung Galaxy S7 series. Some of these rumors haven’t been made official yet. So, let’s see today if the rumors stand true or not and what Samsung will bring new to the table apart from the stuff we have already heard till now.

The phone was recently launched in India for INR. 10,999 (approx to NPR. 17,600), however, taking preposterous nature of Nepali smartphone market we can expect the phone to launch at a higher price tag. Let’s hope it won’t cross NPR. 25,000 threshold.

Lenovo A-7000

The another phone to get launched is Lenovo A6000–the phone that was launched in Jan 2015. It might look utterly ridiculous that the company is launching more than a year old phone, but if the phone gets launched for a decent pricing, it will totally make sense.

ITU: Nepal is Fifth Cheapest Country for Mobile Bills

0

According to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Nepal is the fifth cheapest place for cellular mobile use, where the average monthly phone usage costs USD 2.49. The report seems abnormal for a country with only two major carriers in NTC and Ncell.

NTC_Nepal

The cheapest country for cellular mobile use is Srilanka (USD 0.97), followed by Bangladesh (USD 1.42), Iran (USD 2.01), and Pakistan  (USD 2.12). The average monthly revenue per user for wireless carriers in the US is a whopping USD 61.51. Considering there are 4 major carriers in the US with great competition between them, we should be fortunate that the rates are extremely low.

However, the number of subscribers is increasing every year, and 8 in 10 users in the developing nations own a mobile phone. As the number of subscriber increase, the carriers need maintenance and need hardware upgrades in the BTS and BSC.
