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...

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...

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 softw...

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...

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...

As, technology is booming high. Every day new technology is hitting the market. If we talk about smartphones today, it reduces out effort to carry laptops to work. As we can do our most of the daily tasks, in our smartphones. No doubt. Day by day we see new technology in the market that makes our work much easier. Smartphones, have become the most important part of our day to day life. If we start from the feature phones to the smartphones today, there has been a drastic change in the technology, design and approach towards the future. If we look at the past, the feature phones are one from we had started our day to day task . But, its not that what we want. Since it was just the start. As the technology has to still hit the market. That time the company has a different approach to the phones. They were fully focused on designs and what extra feature they can add to the phones. So that it would be appealing to customers. Every brand brings unique design to their phones. We hav...

2018 has been an amazing year for technologies. This year we have seen many new technologies coming to the smartphones.Whether its foldable display, in display fingerprint scanner, in display front camera etc. Everyone out there is saying Huawei Mate 20 pro is having the best camera setup. It is the best flagship smartphone of the year 2018. The comparison is being made with iPhone. Will any another Android phone compete can with Apple hardware and software. Also, Apple provides software updates for a longer term, Not like Android, which will end the support mostly after 3 years for the flagship smartphone forget about the budget smartphones. In Android you will not get regular security updates regularly. Android is an open source platform which makes the device prone to vulnerable attacks. Android OS requires more RAM for the better performance but iOS works smooth even with less RAM. Apple iPhone X series face id  is more powerful than most of the Android flag...

Huawei Mate 20 pro is the latest flagship smartphone. Which everyone out there is saying is the best smartphone of 2018. Here, I want to say all it might be the best, but for the short run not for the long run. Mate 20 pro is having  some good features like reversible charging . With reversible charging you can charge other smartphone wirelessly. If it supports wireless charging.  I don't think that feature hardly anyone will be using, as with the big screen the Mate 20 pro going to consume battery . So who want's to charge the other phone with the reversible charger when your smartphone itself can have a battery life for a day. The triple camers module includes  40 MP, f/1.8, 27mm (wide), 1/1.7", PDAF/Laser AF,  20 MP, f/2.2, 16mm (ultrawide), 1/2.7", PDAF/Laser AF,  8 MP, f/2.4, 80mm (telephoto), 1/4", 5x optical zoom, OIS, PDAF/Laser AF is not that great. If we look at LG's V 40 thinq triple camera module 12 MP, 27mm (standard), f/1.5, 1...

As there are many smartphone brands in the market. I picked LG as one of the most innovative brand. Every year LG brings innovative features to their flagship smartphones. Which is being copied by every other brand out there in the market. Every smartphone brand in the market highly focused on processor and camera. The thing where the lack is innovation. Due to the advertisements and promotion they get high sales in the market.  One should not just go with the camera and processor with flagship smartphones. Because you are paying the huge amount. Every brand is just competing in processor and camera . They won't showcase any other features. Now, due to advertisements and reviews their main focus is to highlight camera. That's it.  If we look over old school feature phones, all were innovative. Every phone was unique in its own way. Our present situation is that we only talk about the camera. But LG is the brand who brings more innovation in their smartph...

Every smartphone available in the market comes with full touch screen. Only Blackberry smartphones are coming up with keyboard. The question here comes is "Why keyboard". Why you want to go back to the old school, when every other brand is moving towards the future. I have a question from them. What future, you are seeing in those brands, when it lags productivity. What productivity can a smartphone do with full touch screen. What makes Blackberry stand out from the crowd is productivity. Generally, you will not find productivity in any smartphone. Because of marketing today, our mindset is to buy a phone with a good camera and a better processor. That makes you to spend huge money on the smartphones with no productivity. Even you don't know how to use the camera and for what purpose you need that much high end processor you just spend the money. That is all because of marketing and advertisement being done. I have a question from you all. For what purpo...

As we all know that Blackberry is known for security. We have seen old school Blackberry smartphones, which are the most secure smartphones. Blackberry with OS 6 uses BIS services to connect to the internet.That means the connection is going through the Blackberry server making an end to end connection secure. Later, with Blackberry 10 series, BB puts an end to BIS service. But a question arises, is it secure. I would say yes. When you turn on the data services. You can see the Blackberry logo pop-ups at  the top right corner, making an end to end connection through the Blackberry server. But when Blackberry joins the hand with Android. Here comes the big question. We think it's not secure. Because Android is an open source platform, is not secure. Its completely prone to attacks. With Blackberry DTEK security over Android makes it a most secure smartphone. Blackberry provides four levels of encryption on top of Android. If an attacker tries to manipulate the Kernel sour...

Android is one of the most popular OS and is no doubt leading on the market. But is it innovative? Well, I don't think so. Android becomes popular due to its easy to use interface. Here comes the blunder. Suppose we purchased a smartphone running Android 5.0. But what about updates to the OS. If a new version of Android get a release. Not all smartphones will be getting an  update to the latest OS.  We have seen in the old school OS, if there's a newer version of the OS is released. It will be released for all the smartphones. Not like Android, we have to think of changing the smartphone for the latest OS and better performance. Moreover, in Android regularly, we are getting updates for the apps which makes the smartphones too slow and also after the app updates it is going to occupy more storage and RAM. Android 6.0 got a new feature split screen. People are like wow. But wait what, that feature was already there before in the market on LG BL40 chocolate...

Lets talk about Android smartphone.  What's your thought?  Let's discuss. I gonna clear your doubts.
