Stop using Google apps on your smartphone! If privacy matters to you.

Image
We all know privacy nowadays is very important. As we are always connected to the internet. So there is a less chance of privacy. Your all moments are being tracked. But there should be a space between you and the outside world. Everything is now being based on AI and is like open to the world . When the term AI comes, there we should always think about security. AI makes things easier. But is dangerous too. We'll discuss later on AI. Let's talk about privacy. If you are using any of the google product or apps . Then you should worry about privacy. Google sells the user data. Recently, Google+ data has been exposed by the hackers. Immediately disable google chrome from your smartphone. It always keeps the track what you are accessing on the browser and sells the data to Facebook. Same you might see while scrolling on Facebook. Even, I recommend not to use Gmail on your smartphone. Make a separate Gmail id just for your smartphone. Which you are not going to use anywh

Blackberry Keytwo ! The design at its finest.

As we know, Blackberry devices now are being manfactured by a chinese company called TCL. Blackberry is all known for its iconic design and build quality. TCL is doing a great job by maintaining the Blackberry's iconic design. After a long year's of struggle.Blackberry with Android is totally an "Icon Reborn", Believe it or not from a long time we are seeing the smartphones coming with a back glass panel. And actually it doesn't feel great on hands.  You can expect fingerprint smudges on the back glass panel when you hold it. It really looks dirty. We have to clean it always. If by mistake you dropped the smartphone having the back glass panel. It easy gonna get cracks. And also its too slippery to hold with one hand. If we look at a KEY 2 design. It gonna steal your eye's attraction. Its too premium with a matt finish high quality rubber material having diamond grip non slip textured back. You can hold it easily with one hand. Also the edge

Windows Phones OS is the best as compared over Android OS

After the fall of Nokia. Microsoft acquired Nokia under a 5 year bond. In the year 2011 Microsoft launched two Windows smartphones. Despite the first two smartphones being Nokia Lumia 710 and 800. Due to the restrictions in the OS it couldn't hit the market. But that was just a beginning. That time Android already captured the market. Due to its open source and number of apps in the market. But it was not the end . Microsoft has to planned something.  Then it launched the upgrade from windows 7 OS to Windows 8.1. In that a lot of improvement has been made over the older version. Now much over customization could be done. Microsoft with Lumia devices has done pretty well . Lots of new features and camera hardware improvement was seen on the devices . But the Microsoft store lack of apps, which is the advantage on Android devices having ample amount of apps and also providing regular updates . Where as in Lumia devices hardly the releases the update for the app. Windows ph

Don't go for OnePlus 6T

Recently, OnePlus  has launched OnePlus6T. Is it a big upgrade from OnePlus6. If you are planning to buy OnePlus 6T, just read out this. OnePlus 6T no doubt is a good smartphone. But is there any major upgrade in OnePlus 6T. The OnePlus 6T is having the same camera setup as OnePlus 6. Also in  hardware and software part no changes have been made. OnePlus has just added in screen fingerprint scanner on OnePlus 6T with a Notch display. Though the in screen fingerprint scanner is quite slow. If we compare to the physical fingerprint scanner on OnePlus 6.  OnePlus has also removed the 3.5mm jack from OnePlus 6T. Just a minor improvement you are going to find in OnePlus 6T camera's dynamic range. Also night mode is added in OnePlus 6T. But you can install Pixel 3 camera on OnePlus 6 . The Pixel camera you will find  a better night shot as compared to an OnePlus 6T camera. Don't fall into an advertisment trap of OnePlus 6T. There is no difference at all in software and har

Is it necessary to compare Blackberry with other smartphones ?

This year is an amazing year for flagship smartphones. We have seen many smartphones with new concepts. But, what you think we should compare Blackberry smartphones with the flagship smartphones. On You Tube, I have seen comparison videos of Blackberry Key 2 with Samsung, Google Pixel smartphones, etc. Is it necessary to compare Blackberry with other smartphones over processor and camera. Blackberry always meant to be the smartphones for the Business purpose. Still, its having some advance features which are very useful for daily purpose which any other smartphone on the market is not having. Reviewers should compare Blackberry with other smartphones in terms of Security. None of the Android smartphone out there in the market is secure. Can't they talk about this. Blackberry is having intelligent "Power Centre" app which will tell you if the app you are using for more than a usual time is utilizing more battery . So that you can make the changes in the Power c

Does security matters in a smartphone?

Security as a matter of fact has never been taken into consideration by any smartphone brand apart from Blackberry. Why security must be taken into consideration? If you are connected to the internet. That means any day any time your smartphone may get affected by Vulnerability attack, where your data can be compromised. Do monthly security patches provide security updates. Yes, it does provides but that is just a single layer of protection that can be broken. No smartphone is providing the security option to the extent what Blackberry is providing.  Blackberry smartphones are having 4 layers of security, which makes the smartphone completely secure. For more information on why Blackberry smartphones are secure do read my previous posts. Also, Apple smartphones do provide security. Why security is important , will justify with an example. I am working as an Information security / Information technology department, our main focus is that how the organization can be safe fro
