Gionee M6, M6 Plus With Unique Encryption Chip Launched

0

Gionee has launched the successor of Marathon M5 and M5 Plus with the M6 and M6 Plus today at an event in China. The Marathon M5 is scheduled to launch in Nepal on March.

The Gionee Marathon M-series always had an enormous battery, and the new iteration follows the same trend. The M6 boasts a 5000mAh battery and the M6 Plus comes equipped with a 6020mAh battery. Both these handset offers 9V/2A dual charge chips that offer “faster, safer, cooler” charging capabilities. In terms of other hardware specs, the M6 comes with a 5.5-inch 1080P display and the M6 Plus has a slightly bigger 6-inch 1080P display. The displays are of AMOLED technology so you can expect vibrant colors. Both these phone is powered by a Mediatek MT6755 SoC with eight cortex A53 cores running at a higher frequency of 2.0 GHz.

In terms of memory, the M6 and M6 Plus offers 4GB of RAM and either 64 or 128GB onboard storage. Both these handset offers dual SIM support with 4G LTE and has dedicated microSD slot that is expandable upto 128GB. Camera wise, both the M6 and M6 Plus sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with Sony IMX 258 sensor and an 8-megapixel selfie camera. They are currently running on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with Gionee’s inhouse Amigo 3.2 UI layered on top. You also get the taste of  USB Type-C connector for charging and data syncing.

The main highlight of the M6 and M6 Plus is the added Security Features, apart from a Fingerprint Scanner that’s located in the home button. It has a  unique security chip that the company claims will keep the phone’s data encrypted. Working with the fingerprint sensor, the chip will keep the call logs, documents, data, photos etc. stored safely and is unhackable and hence will remain confidential to the owner. However, the international version, including the one that will launch in Nepal, won’t have this security feature. Available in Gold and Latte Gold color variants, both the M5 and M5 Plus offers metal unibody design. In terms of connectivity, these phones offer WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, and IR blaster.

Report: No Samsung, Gionee, and Colors at the CAN infotech 2016

The CAN infotech 2016 kickstarts this Friday, and some report suggests smartphone powerhouse Samsung, Nepalese smartphone brand Colors, and Chinese brand Gionee will not be involved in Nepal’s  biggest tech event.

Although there is no concrete reason on why they won’t be participating in the largest gathering for the mobile industry in Nepal, but it’s a big blow for visitors and tech enthusiasts who were looking forward to seeing new products, discounts, and offers.

Samsung Mobile Nepal, the oldest and number one smartphone brand in Nepal, has always been an active participant in such tech events. Last year at the CAN infotech 2015, they launched the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5— Samsung’s first metal-clad smartphone under a budget category. We were hoping to see the latest 2015 version of Galaxy A3, A5, and A7 at the CAN infotech, but it’s strange to see the CAN infotech without Samsung.

Kaymu Donates blankets, warm clothing to keep EQ victims warm this winter

0

Kaymu, one of the largest e-commerce websites in Nepal, in the wake of extreme cold weather conditions handed over jackets to the children and blankets to the elderly citizens in Kavre as a part of its Sharing Smiles project. Sharing Smiles was implemented at earthquake affected Jana Jagaran Primary School located at Keuri, Jyamdi VDC in Kavre where 50 fleece jackets were provided to the students aged between 3 – 12 years. Likewise, 50 blankets were donated to the underprivileged Dalit community and single women in Rampur, Jyamdi VDC of Kavre district.

“This is the first initiative by Kaymu to contribute to the society by sharing smiles. Despite efforts from government and private sectors, a lot of people are suffering due to chilling temperature. Recognizing that children and elderly citizens are more vulnerable, the team at Kaymu collected funds and made an attempt to bring a smile on their faces by helping them warm up this winter,” –Rajeev Amatya, the Managing Director at Kaymu.

After the devastating earthquake, Jana Jagaran students from playgroup to Grade 3 study under the same roof with no proper classes allocated. The dropping temperature added more to their plights making it difficult to focus on their studies. Because of temporary shelter, it was especially hard to spend nights for the elderly citizens as the dew droplets dampened with what little they had to cover them.

“The students also enjoyed dancing and singing arranged by the team. Besides academics, activities as such help the students in developing their personality and hone their talent. To see the children full of excitement with this recreational program was overwhelming,” –Amatya.

Sharing Smiles project is to share smiles with the people in the country. Kaymu, in the coming days, intends to share more smiles and contribute to the community in all means possible. The video below highlights Kaymu’s efforts to make the world a better, and smarter place.

How does CG EON Blaze Look as per Spec-sheet?

The CG Eon Blaze boasts a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels. Unlike the Eon eLite which has an AMOLED panel, the Eon Blaze features an IPS LCD display. The phone is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor (unspecified chipset) and has 1GB of RAM.

WiFi 802.11 ad, 802.11 af, and 802.11 ah Expained!

We all have been familiar with the Wifi b/g/n/ac standards,  but there are new Wifi standards in town that you should know about because it’s super awesome and defines how we use the internet in the future. So, before I explain about these new standards, I want you to read about the different Wi-Fi Standard (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) that exists now.

  • Wi-Fi standard 802.11a and 802.11b, when first came in 1999, was an expensive technology.
  • Wi-Fi standard 802.11g arrived in 2003 was inexpensive and 5 times faster than the previous standards, and hence replaced 802.11a and 802.11b.
  • The number of users using Wireless Devices started to grow from 2003 because of its advantage over wired technology.
  • All these 3 standards use the 2.4GHz frequency band.
  • 2.4GHz frequency band creates interference if there are overlapping networks in the same area (like a multi-story apartment building)
  • Wi-Fi 802.11n was announced in 2009 to eradicate this problem since it uses both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency band. The 5GHz band creates less interference.
  • Wi-Fi 802.11a/c is the latest evolution of Wi-Fi, which like the 802.11n, uses both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrum.

WiFi 802.11 ad

The first new WiFi standard is 802.11 ad, which unlike other standards, uses a transmission frequency of 60GHz. This means it will have a super high speed of around 7Gb/s, however, it will have low coverage. It is only suitable for one room, and such frequency cannot penetrate the wall and the receiver should be in direct LOS (line of sight) with the router.

With a Gb/s speed, the advantage of such standard is blistering upload and download speeds meaning you can use it for transferring huge files, wireless storage, lag-free wireless docking, screen mirroring, and cordless VR glasses.

WiFi 802.11 ah

The Wifi 802.11ah is just the opposite of the WiFi 802.11 ad. Rather than focusing on the speed, it focuses on the transmission range. 802.11ah is transmitted at just 900 MHz, much similar to the GSM transmission frequency. Since the frequency is lower than that of the existing 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi technologies, 802.11ah standard can transmit up to 1km. However, the speed is not that great and it decreases with respect to distance.

wifi ah

Although the speed ranges from 150Kb/s to 18Mb/s, such speed is ideal for low powering devices like Internet of Things, Wireless Sensor Networks, etc.

WiFi 802.11 af

The Wifi 802.11 af, also known as Super Wifi, relies on unused television spectrum frequencies between 54 MHz and 790 MHz. Just like 802.11 ah, it can be used for low power, wide-area range, only better. It has more than 10kms of coverage making it  the longest range WiFi technology yet. The Wifi 802.af can be utilized in places where there are fewer buildings and less interference.

SUMMARY – WiFi 802.11 ad Vs WiFi 802.11 ah Vs WiFi 802.11 af802.11

  • 802.11ad: for Gb/s speeds and high-performance networking.
  • 802.11ah: for low data rate, long-range sensors, and controllers.
  • 802.11af: for similar applications to 802.11ah. This network option relies on unused TV spectrums instead of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands for transmission.
