SMARTPHONE WITH LAPTOP SPECS + 64MP CAMERA !!!

 Turing Cadenza is going to launch a  smart phone that  challenge the laptops with high end specs.

If the rumours are true the phone is going to have two Snapdragon 830 SoCs.  Snapdragon  830 is going to replace both Snapdragon 821 and Snapdragon 820 and it is going to be manufactured on the f10nm FinFET node.   Even the single Snapdragon 830 will give more than the sufficient  power required then imagine the dual chipset  can accomplish.   And 12 GB RAM  is equivalent to the gaming laptops . 

Turing Cadenza is going to be running OS based on Sailfish called Swordfish.  The  60MP rear camera sensor along with 20MP front  shooter will be the another  shocking surprise. It has been assumed that the apertures will be going to be adjustable like those happening  in the mainstream cameras.

It is really interesting that most widely used operating system in the world is Android.  Even though Micrsoft Windows reins the desktop or laptops computer Oss , by  considering the popular units being supported by the OS are

All Google OS chrome and Android are being developed on linux kernel.  Google hardware are based on linux kernel since long time.

But linux has a limitation . It is not compatiblewith devices especially embedded like GPS,  Some devices could not be operational with linux .

To overcome this handicap Google is on its work being carried on in developing a new O S called Fuschia that can even work on  embedded systems .

ALLO : Google’s alternative to Whatsapp.-ALLO

Allo is a messaging App.  One of the Starting Apps of Google’s new communications division.

You start with sign up with your telephone number.

If a photo has been send it shows full bleed on the screen and even you can doodle on it if you want. Another cute option: before you hit send, you can drag your finger up or down on the button to enlarge or reduce the text.  Whisper Shout” Google calls like that.

The chatbot or search assistant  is power ful as it has the support of Google’s  ocean of knowledge base.

Another remarkable thing a bout Google Allo is  ability to help with built in answers.  When your friend some questions/suggestions. A number of  answers will  pop up to help you . Google’s  suggestion chip .

Definitely Google have corrected the bots of Hangout with the introduction of Allo.  Lets hope this new chat  app will survive the challenges of facebook and imesseger.

Google Duo

Duo is Google’s standalone video calling app that looks set to challenge Skype and Imo or FaceTime .

Its only satandalone video calling app as it really meant for this purpose only.  There is no messaging facility like Skype or  Imo. The App only take 5MB of space making it a best option of video callers.

INTEL NUC , a computer small in size but literally a power house.

Intel's

        Next Unit of Computing (NUC) can be described as a desktop that easily slips in to a  messenger bag or purse.  Intel’s goal  has been accomplished with new Skull Canyon Edition.  Intel has comes closer in delivering such system going to be the  next sensation of  the IT for  Dollars $609.

Official name of this system is NUC NUC6i7KYK . It  comes with 2.6GHz quad-core i7-6770HQ processor with integrated WiFi, Ethernet.  Intel HD Audio and Iris Pro 580 graphics.  To make NUC  completely functional  one has to open the unit and have to put SSD in M.2 slots,  and also RAM can be upgraded up to 32GB.  And have to provide the operating system by the users

.

Intel  this time have taken care to improve the appearance of the NUC.  Its size just  similar to a handy book. 4.57 of width , 1.1 inches tall. And 8.3 inches long.  And weighs only around 1.5 pounds.  The surprisingly “skull” imprinted top can be replaced by a spare cover .  The witnesses said it looks like professional, cute piece of art.

The NUC  is rich in connecting ports.  There are two USB 3.0 sockets  (yellow in color  is “ charging port” to provide extra voltage for mobile devices.)  At rear there are ports for power (second one ), HDMI, thunderbolt 3/USB-C, Mini DisplayPort and gigabit Ethernet along with two more USB 3.0 connections.  In addition there is another  3.5mm jack for audio output, which also supports minijack to optical cables (useful for connecting the NUC  to an A/V receiver.)

The NUC is just perform like Desktop PC  means by considering  its size it’s a remarkable advantage.
