Phones / An Advice To Apple Boss by edewojames(m): 4:00am On Aug 14, 2018
Apple's one Trillion Dollar market value has been highly welcome by so many persons including finance analyst. However, these guy, Ralph Nader is on the opposite direction. Nader early this year criticized Apple of buying back shares of investors. This time, he is giving Apple a suggestion. In a media talk with NPR, Nader point out that Apple CEO should use the capital gains from the increased stock market value for its employees. He taught of increment in wages and salaries as well as pension.

Speaking more on the issue, Nader said that Apple should use the excess fund to increase dividend of investors, involve in more on research and development and seek for methods to improve recycle of old iPhones.

Apple when launching its iPhone promises to sell affordable smartphones but ended up selling luxury, only for the rich class. This year, however, the company plans to launch affordable iPhones as rumors have it. Nader agreed that he doesn't use iPhone or Mac but the pressure faced by Apple staffs especially in China are not comparable to he wage rate, he said such amount is not "a living wage."

Though, Ralph Nader last criticism of Apple, on buying back stocks of shareholders, was not taken serious by the public, it is likely that similar trend may ensure this time.

This new feature is mostly found in flagship and very expensive smartphones. Only the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 as well as S9 and S9+ do not use notch tech of all the flagship expected this year.

Infinix Zero 6 and its sister, the Zero 6 Pro may be the first popularly used smartphones in Nigeria to have a notch. Maybe, Tecno will be the next, on its Phantom's flagship expected later on this year. The flagship phone is not all about Notch, of course. Infinix will upgrade the Zero 6 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 making it the second Infinix smartphone with Qualcomm chipset. The first of its kind is the Infinix S3 launched in the first half of 2018.

As a go to smartphone, a octa core processor clocking at 2.2 GHz speed is to be expected on the Zero 6 and the Zero 6 Pro. Further a GPU of Adreno 512 will power the graphics for the smartphone.

The Android 9 Pie has starts rolling out to different smartphones this year. All supported Android One phone will get an update for the new Android OS.

Phones / Analyst Said Samsung Note9, S9/S9+ And Razer Phone Is Best For Fortnight Game by edewojames(m): 11:41am On Aug 06, 2018
An Android analyst and chief editor of XDA developer has claimed that the best way to enjoy playing Fortnight game on Android is to play the game either on Razer gaming smartphone or with Samsung Galaxy Note 9; S9 and S9+. And also said that this phones will be the best performing devices in Fortnight Mobile on Android.

Two features in a smartphone are important to enjoy seem-less gaming. The display and performance. Do this two phones provides this? First of all, Razer phone is the best gaming smartphone, so far. This only means Samsung will be a competitor. No doubt about this. Using Razer phone for gaming especially, Fortnight worth it. So despite a lower Qualcomm snapdragon 835 and better RAM of 6GB, it is certain that you will have a wonderful experience while playing Fortnight on Razer phone. The display for Razer Phone 2017 is the specialised IGZO IPS capacitive touchscreen. The phone is 5.7 inches in diagonal for the screen. There is enough bezels, on the front view, giving you enough space for your palm to hold the phone and enjoy your Fortnight game.

For the Samsung Galaxy's flagships. I mean the Galaxy S9/S9+ and the Galaxy Note 9 the performance beats the Razer gaming phone. It uses Qualcomm Flagship Snapdragon 845 and 4GB of RAM. Expect unbeatable speed. For the display, I prefer the Razer phone. But why? Its simply the bezels. While Razer gave enough bezels for my palm to fit in, Samsung do not have bezels. Samsung Galaxy Note 9, S9 and S9+ are fully non bezels premium smartphones. This will make it uncomfortable playing Fortnight game. The display panel for the Note 9 is super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. Whcih, however, gave the Note 9 an edge.

However, Mishaal Rahman, mentioned earlier believed the Razer Gaming phone and the Galaxy Note 9; S9 and S9 Plus can give you the result high performance while playing Fortnight game. And both smartphones will be powerful for Fortnight game.

Phones / Google Android One Everything You Need To Know by edewojames(m): 8:42am On Jul 27, 2018
Android One is a trendy word these days. Many phones launched this year are said to be an Android One smartphones. A phone launched this month, Xiaomi Mi A2 and the Lite version, are Android One smartphones. Also, Infinix Mobility launched a smartphone this year and it is an Android One Smartphone. Further, most of Nokia's smartphones usually carries the Android One name and partnership. Android One is a name giving to all Android smartphones that are made in partnership with Google. Such phones majorly used google apps and Artificial Intelligence.

But, Google is known to be the owner of Android operating system, why do they need a partnership with tech companies? Technology companies using Android operating system are free to use whatever apps they wish to install. Some smartphone markers render Google Play Store useless and instead use other Play Store like Mobo Play. Others do not allow for NFC. Phones that do not have NFC pre-installed means it can't utilise the services of Google Pay. You see, there is a need for google partnership with smartphones creators.

Google Android One partnership seems to be the smartest choice for Android phones. Why so! So many benefits. This doesn't claim that smartphones without Android One partnership with Google are not worth using. Here are four points you should note on Google Android One partnership.

The Use of Google Artificial Intelligence.

Enhanced Battery Performance

Smartphones are secured and safe

Samsung will be launching its new flagship line up in August, in the Samsung Unpacked event usually hosted in New York, USA. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has received a lot of rumours before this day. In fact, it is clear that the phone will be the first Samsung smartphone to use 4000 mAh battery juice. Also, recent leaks revealed the brilliant colours for the Note 9. The lower variant will have come in purple, brown, blue and black shades, while the higher option will have black and blue colours only.

What if the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 worth 500,000 Naira? If you ask me this question, then, I don’t have any reply. At least me I want value for my money. Yes, it possible. Samsung is increasing the higher variant of the Note 9 to 512 internal storage. To benefit from the higher variant a suggested price of 1,300 dollars is sacrificed. This translate to almost 500,000 Naira. At least for a specified period before Apple released its flagship smartphone.

The world tech space has been talking of 5G a lot since last year and just right in the second half of 2018, Qualcomm has promised to install 5G network to smartphones. If smartphones start using 5G network, then, you know, super fast speed is now possible, even though 4G is already fast enough.

Qualcomm has created a mmWave antennas which integrates the specifications for 5G network. The mmWave antennas are QTM052 module family and QPM56xx sub-6 GHz RF module. The chipset marker also claimed that it is the first to a fully powered 5G network at 5 Gbps. This new antennas will be integrated into its upcoming chipset which will probably be launched before the this year. The forthcoming chipset will replaced the latest flagship chipset of Qualcomm Snapdragon 845.

Installing 5G on mobile phones is a great deal. Telecommunication company will need to gear up their game to meet this current need. However, in undeveloped countries, like Nigeria, having a 5G network on smartphones is a big deal as most of the wireless carriers are yet to integrate 4G network. However, one of the middle-level smartphones launched this year has already incorporated this 4G network on it as well as other smartphones.

The money will be automatically deducted from your bank account as you have requested. You have the option of saving manually with the quick save option. You can save any amount you want in this section. Further, you can lock up certain amount of cash on “savelock” option. If you do this for 1000 days, you will receive 34 percent interest rate upfront. That means, the interest will be added to your “savelock” cash immediately, and not until the completion of the 1000 days. The 34 percent interest rate amount to 12.41 percent per year.

PiggyBank.ng encourages discipline. So, you’re not expected to withdraw your money except on the date you choose or any of PiggyBank.ng four default withdrawer days in a year. If you need to withdraw cash urgently before the due dates then you must pay five percent breaking fees.
