Vivo Starts Getting on to Track

Gone are the days when Vivo along with its sister company Oppo was called 'rubbish'. After introducing the world's first under screen fingerprint scanner partnering with Synaptics in CES 2018, it took the tech-world by storm.

Vivo joined the ranks of the top 10 smartphone makers in the first quarter of 2015 with a global market share of 2.7%. It has still gigantic numbers in sale in India and other Asia Pacific counties. However smartphones produced by the giant have always been condemned.

It's obvious that you might have also heard Oppo and Vivo starting the 'selfie trend' in India with their selfie centric devices. They are also notoriously popular in advertisement. Banners and hoardings of the two companies are seen everywhere. They don't fall behind to engage big celebrities as influencers like Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and many others. They also sponsored their brand in Indian Premier League. And moreover started some crappy hashtags like #CaptureTheRealYou.


Even the upper midrange smartphones came with MediaTek low-powerful processors, their copied design of Apple iPhones and the gimmicky Funtouch OS (and Color OS in Oppo) which had not even icons of their own. Only thing that they would show off are their 'selfie camera' which always boasts of huge megapixels. It's no lie that the cameras were very good as mostly sensors used were Sony Exmor lenses.

However, recently it's been rumoured that their upcoming flagship phone, the Xplay7, might be powered by 10GB RAM, 4K OLED display, Snapdragon 845 SoC, up to 512GB storage and obviously the dual camera setup with 18:9 aspect ratio. That means it will be the first phone in the world to feature 10 gigs of mobile RAM. The processor itself the Snapdragon 845 will again push it to another level and I'm really hopeful, this time Vivo may do something really commendable. So let's wait for how things are taking turn. There is currently no update on the pricing and availability it is expected to be available in the coming weeks at a starting price of around $500 (roughly Rs. 31,800).

Best Gaming Laptops You Can Buy Right Now

Gaming Laptops are no joke. They pack some serious performance under the hood that even some mid-range desktops cannot match. They’re often considered as huge, heavy and fat machines with red and blue paint all over their chassis, but that’s not the case at present. Over the past few years, manufacturers have introduced laptops packing more and more power in a thinner and lighter chassis. If you take a look at a gaming laptop from ten years ago and compare to anything from the present, I can guarantee that your jaw will drop and you’ll start wondering how technology has improved over the decade.

Now you can whisper to Alexa

Amazon’s Alexa can now listen and respond to whispers, and she will whisper back. Now first, this might set off another wave of anxiety for privacy advocates. Your virtual assistant is not only spying on you and potentially recording or storing your conversations, now she can do even if you tried to keep your voice down. Amazon’s team just made that sensitive microphone function even more acutely. Video demonstrating Alexa whisper: So, why do we need to whisper in the first place? Will it come handy in anyway? Yes. If you whisper, “Echo, play a lullaby,” for the infant who’s almost asleep in your arms, Echo will whisper back, “Here’s a station for lullabies from your Amazon Music library,” instead of screaming at  full startling volume. What's more? Whisper is not the only important feature that will come to Amazon Echo devices this year, we also have bunch of new ones. Guard : Guard will let you say, “Alexa, I’m leaving,” and the device will automatically acti...

How to verify your downloaded files using MD5 Checksum on Windows?

MD5 stands for Message Digest version 5 . The MD5 algorithm takes a file (the “message”) of any size, and reduces it down to a code that looks like this: “ac30ce5b07b0018d65203fbc680968f5″ (the “digest”). The brilliant thing about the MD5 algorithm is that if the message changes by so much as a single byte, it will produce a completely different digest. An MD5 sum is a string of letters and numbers that acts like a fingerprint for a file. If two files have the same MD5 sum, the files are exactly alike - which is why MD5 "fingerprints" can verify whether or not your downloaded file got corrupted in transit, hence it is used to verify the integrity of files, as virtually any change to a file will cause its MD5 hash to change. MD5 digests have been widely used in the software world to provide some assurance that a transferred file has arrived intact. For example, file servers often provide a pre-computed MD5 (known as md5sum) checksum for the files, so that a user can compare th...
