Samsung on max a short review

The Samsung Galaxy On Max will compete directly with the Moto G5 Plus especially in the camera department
Being all-metal means the Galaxy On Max has a non-removable back cover, and obviously a non-removable battery. That is, but, a small price to pay for all that premium you're getting. Much like the Galaxy J7 Max, the Galaxy On Max also uses a 1080p screen (IPS and not AMOLED) which should get the job done for most users. The phone has just the right amount of pixels, without going overboard, which means it is pleasantly sharp - if a little on the dim side -- with good viewing angles. The screen is, however, a bit reflective which effects outdoor legibility to some extent.
In terms of hardware, the Galaxy On Max is powered by an octa-core MediaTek P25 Lite processor clubbed with 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage which is also expandable. It runs Android Nougat-based TouchWiz UI, supports dual-SIM and 4G LTE (VoLTE-ready) connectivity.
Samsung is banking on two - rather three -- key features to sell its new Galaxy On phone: Pay Mini, a camera that's - because it has a 1.7 aperture - supposedly great in low light and Social camera. While Samsung Pay Mini is Samsung Pay minus debit/credit card support, Social camera is essentially a camera feature that lets users apply beautify and filters on the fly while taking photos as well as share them simultaneously on social media channels, right from the camera app itself.
Of these, the Samsung Pay Mini - which is essentially a lighter version of the company's Pay mobile payments service platform - is the more interesting. Samsung Pay has all the cards (Visa, Mastercard), wallets like Paytm and UPI all integrated into one and works with both NFC and MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission). It works with any payment terminal: card swiping or reading machine accepting either a traditional swipe or contactless payments. It takes just three simple steps to use Samsung Pay, according to the company. These include: swiping up to launch the service, authenticating via PIN or fingerprint and making payments using your compatible Samsung phone. Samsung Pay Mini, on the other hand, supports only Paytm and UPI.
Moving on, Samsung is looking to bring Samsung Pay Mini to almost all its phones that have a fingerprint scanner which means previous-generation J-series phones (with fingerprint scanner) will also support the service in the days to come

Windows 10 a preview

The end is in sight: Windows 10 will be released on July 29 as a free download for anyone running Windows 7 , Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 ; the free update will be available for a year. If you aren't eligible for the free upgrade (perhaps one of the many still running Windows XP) you can also pick up individual licenses. Windows 10 Home will set you back $119, and Windows 10 Pro will cost you $199. There isn't any word on international pricing, but those prices are identical to Windows 8 pricing, and convert to £78 / AU$156 and £131 / AU$262 for the Home and Pro versions, respectively. The Windows 10 Technical Preview has come a long way over the last nine or so months , but there's still plenty left to iron out before the next generation of Windows is humming along on our PCs, tablets and phones. To that end, the latest build of Windows 10 (Build 10130) is all about bug fixes and cosmetic tweaks. Get a closer look at the Windows 10 Technical Preview (pictures) The Micr...

Rumours about Hudawi p20 and p20 plus

Huawei P20 and it will come in three versions (at least). And the top model of the three will sport a notch, similar to the iPhone X. Its screen bezels are nearly non-existent, all except the bottom one are razor thin. The fingerprint reader is on the back, below the camera (more on that in a second). And the top bezel features a notch to accommodate the earpiece, selfie camera and sensors. Huawei has already demoed its own FaceID-like tech (that will be better than Apple’s, company officials say). That’s not visible on the schematic though and there doesn’t seem to be much room, but who knows. Schematics: Huawei P20 • Huawei P20 Plus • Huawei P20 Pro Anyway, back to the camera – or should we say  the triple camera . It’s positioned vertically and it runs down the middle of the phone. On the Huawei P20 and P20 Plus the camera is in a different position – off to the left on the Plus and rotated 90° on the vanilla model. Both have a fingerprint reader on ...

Asus zenfone 5

Asus zenfone 5 ; Review VERDICT It was a long time coming, but the Asus ZenFone 5 is a great mid-range Android device with a lovely screen, excellent performance and a decent camera that just needs the latest version of Android and a bigger battery. PROS: Lovely bright screen Great performance Attractive UI CONS: Below average battery Out of date Android version Future updates uncertain Ratings in depth Introduction and design Key features Interface and Performance Battery and the essentials Camera Verdict All It feels like an awful long time ago that Jonney Shih, the Chairman of Asus, stood up at CES in Las Vegas and with no shortage of drama announced the new ZenFone range. And it is no surprise that it feels like an age has passed, since it has been eight whole months between the announcement of the ZenFones and the units being made available for pre-order by Asus in the UK. This is not the first time that Asus has announced products a...
