5.9-Inch Oppo N1 Revealed with 13 Megapixel Swivel Camera and Other Impressive Features

September 29, 2013 By ishayat 1 Comment

Other than just being a 5.9 inch phablet, Oppo N1 has lots of new things in the market where “innovation in smartphone has stopped” (according to their official site). The list of interesting additions in N1 is a long and impressive one. Starting from the 13-megapixel swivel camera to the O-Touch panel, there is a lot to check out. Oppo is already famous for the stylish and beautiful handset in some markets, but this type they are also serious about the software as they are working closely with Cyanogen team to give the users a great experience.

Build

The build of this phone is as usual with the other Oppo phones, plastic build on aluminum alloy frame with matte finish. Actually gripping is not the only function of the matte finish at the back. It is also a touch panel which can be used to do different things like taking pictures, scrolling, etc. Anyone who used a sliding feature phone in the past might be worried about the durability of the swivel camera and Oppo had the same thing in their mind too! They have said that the camera rotation has been tested 100,000 times for testing and the customers can expect a really long lifetime of the camera.

Camera

The main focus of Oppo N1 is its camera and it is not only about the swivel feature, but also about its speed and perfection. The dual flash design works well for both front facing and back facing shot as optimized by the software. Therefore, your front facing shots will not be poor in any type of lighting condition. The camera can rotate upto 206° and lock at any position in between. The f/2.0 wide aperture will be also helpful for some quick yet not shaky shots.

Software

Another very important thing to mention while mentioning this phone is its software improvement. This phone comes with a CyanogenMod based OS which is actually based on Android 4.2.2. On top of the usual Android 4.2.2 features, there are many new features (“410 design improvements” according to them) included by this Chinese manufacturer. One of the most interesting improvements is the gesture recognition while the phone is locked. The user does not even need to light up the display to give those gesture commands. For example, if someone draws ‘W’ on the display it opens WeChat (The WhatsApp competitor from China) or ‘O’ directly brings the camera without any other hassle. These features might be gimmick to many people, but some users might also find these handy in some situations.

Hardware

In case of hardware, Oppo N1 was not in the competition to be the fastest Android, but it is powerful nonetheless. The 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 Quad Core processor with 2GB RAM should be enough for any casual to power user out there. The phone will come with 16GB and 32GB options. The only downside is the lack of external memory slot. The 5.9-inch IPS display shows 1080p Full HD display at 377 PPI. Another surprise on the hardware side is the O-click Bluetooth Remote Control that comes included in the package. The remote can call the phone and the phone can call the remote with an alarm if any one of the gadgets is lost. It can also be used as a remote shutter to the camera of the phone.

Overall, Oppo N1 is a great phone packed with features and innovation. If all the included features work flawlessly, it might take a bite out of the market of Samsung Galaxy Note III and other phablets out there.

No doubt that everybody miss his/her childhood, like I do. I also miss those old classic games I used to play with my friends, brothers and sisters, and that precious time I spent with them. I used to love playing games with them. When the school’s last ring goes on, I rush back to home and spending less than 15 minutes there I rush to my friend’s house asking him to pull the game out of the closet. We used play about 2 to 3 hours daily. It used to be a really Great time, or I can say Best time. “No Tension and No Worries, Just fun”. Also not forgetting the games we used play in the class room on the last pages of our note books.

Multiplayer Games: Online up to 8 Players

Nexus 5 (LG G2) : Specs, Release Date, Leaked Images and Rumors

July 20, 2013 By ishayat 2 Comments

LG is currently working on their next flagship device titled as G2 and rumor has it that this flagship device is going to be the next Nexus device, the Nexus 5. The company has recently confirmed that they are going to drop the Optimus title from the phone and it will be called LG G2. Let’s see what the first smartphone from “G” family has to offer. We don’t have any official details yet so we are going to have to depend on the rumors and leaks for specs and other info.

Nexus 5 Specifications

According to the announcement,s leaked specs and images the LG G2 is going to feature a big 5.2-inch FullHD display with about 423 ppi, a 2.3 GHz quad-core Krait 800 processor(confirmed), 13 megapixel camera, 2GB of RAM, LTE radio, dual-speakers and a big 2,540mAh battery. The 800 Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset is currently the most powerful mobile chipset available now and was unveiled at the CES 2013.

We heard earlier that the device will feature 3GB of RAM and Google Android Key Lime Pie but now the latest rumor’s say that the device will feature 2GB of RAM instead of 3GB and will run Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. But don’t worry as the Jelly Bean 4.3 could be ready by that time and will also receive the Key Lime Pie update soon if not out of the box.

The 13-megapixel camera is expected to feature optical image stabilization, face detection, HDR, full HD video recording and the 360 panorama mode.

Design

The Big LG G2 is expect to come up with the latest Zero Gap tech which means less bezel and more space for screen. However, if the leaked pic’s by are real, there won’t be a button on the front of the phone and users have to depend on the on-screen buttons. The volume rocker keys are repositioned in the back of the device to make the phone look key-less. The latest flagship device from LG will be bigger than the Samsung Galaxy S4 and will be also loaded with the most powerful mobile chipset currently available.

Both LG and Google are silent about this matter so we are depending on @evleaks’s leaked pictures which looks quite real. The internal storage of this smartphone is still a mystery and there won’t be any microSD support.

Release Date And Price

We are expecting to see the device on August 7’s press event in NYC. LG is planning something big for August 7 and we believe it’s going to be their next flagship device. However, Google’s 5th birthday is coming in this October so there’s a chance that Google will launch their next Nexus device this October.

The price of the new Nexus 5 is expected to reamin unchanged: $299 and $349 for 16GB and 32GB model respectively. That’s all we have got about the LG G2 (the rumored Google Nexus 5 device) so far. Feel free to share your thoughts and expectations for the upcoming google device in the comments section below.

How To Auto save your Gmail Attachments to Google Drive

July 17, 2013 By Arshdeep Singh 1 Comment

Ever wondered how to save your Gmail attachments to your Google Drive? Yes, but you don’t know the way out then how we have two solutions. First is that you can manually download each attachment then upload to your drive which is really time-consuming and cumbersome. Second method is pretty easy, actually it is automated and all credit goes to our India’s famous Blogger Amit Aggarwal who created a script himself which allows us to do the same. Main source article is published at his tech blog named “Digital Inspiration”.

Script is written in a way that it saves all the attachments automatically even for the mails to arrive in future along with the ones present in your inbox already.

Things needed:

The one and only thing you need is the script and you can download that script from .

Instructions:

All you have to do is to go to the file option from the Menu bar and select “Make a copy” which will open the copy of the script in another window.

Again from the Menu bar choose “Run” this time and then select “Authorize” option. It will ask for various permissions which you need to grant.

Then again go to “Run” and select “Start Program” option this time. Script will start running in background.

Now you will see that script made a folder named “Google Images” in in your Google Drive. This folder will contain all the attachments.

After some time you will see the attachments in the Gmail Images Folder as they showed up in mine.If you still want to change the default settings in the script then head over here to see Script’s Source code..

So did you guys like this way of saving the attachments automatically to your drive then this man Amit Aggarwal really deserve the credit. If you guys find out any problem with the above guide then simply ask us in comments below. We will love to help you.
