It’s happening deep inside your phone. It’s called the kernel . What is the Kernel (Really)? Think of your smartphone like a house. Your apps, screen, and settings?

 The Nothing Phone 2a: Eye-Catching Design in a Budget-Friendly Package The Nothing Phone 2a is a budget phone with a unique transparent design and a clean, bloatware-free software experience. It features a smooth 120Hz display, excellent battery life, and a decent camera system (though low-light performance suffers).  However, the processor is mid-range, so don't expect top performance for gaming The Nothing Phone 1 turned heads with its transparent back and quirky light show. Now, its successor, the Phone 2a, is here to offer a similar experience at a more affordable price. But is it all style and no substance? Let's dive in. Standing Out in a Crowd The Phone 2a retains the signature transparent design, but with a few tweaks. The back panel is plastic instead of glass, making it lighter and less prone to shattering. The Glyph lights, a fan favorite, are reduced to three vertical strips. While this cuts down on the wow factor, they still provide functionality for notification...

  Chinese hackers break into iPhone 13 Pro in 15 seconds Some of the best hackers in China get a chance to show off their skills at the Tianfu Cup organised in Chengdu, China, every year. This year too, the competition saw some crazy hacking skills that surprised many technology firms such as Apple. For instance, hackers were able to hack the newly launched iPhone 13 Pro running on iOS 15.0.2 in record time. Not once, but twice.  One of the teams was Kunlun Lab which was successful in breaking into the iPhone 13 Pro in under 15 seconds. Kunlun Lab’s CEO is the former CTO of Qihoo 360. The team exploited a vulnerability in the Safari browser to hack the smartphone.   The CEO hacked the smartphone live in front of everyone in a mere 15 seconds. He, however, undertook weeks of preparation before attempting the hack. As of now, the hacking group didn’t reveal how it was able to hack the smartphone.  Kunlun Lab was not the only team to hack the iPhone 13 Pro, with th...

The Apple Iphone 15 Pro and Pro Max Review  The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are defined by their refinements. This pair of phones is one of the most compelling releases from Apple in years Tested the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max for five days, but it wasn't until I was photographing a bodega cat named Kit Kat that I realized just how many improvements these phones have. They are brimming. After I took Kit Kat's picture, I saw the option to turn his image into a portrait mode photo. It's a minor detail but one with a significance: Nearly any photo can now be a portrait photo. And this isn't even the biggest addition. Apple gave its Pro models a glow-up with a refreshed lighter build, a new shortcut button and the world's smallest processor 3nm named Apple A17 Pro . And it did all this while managing to keep that tried-and-true iPhone aesthetic front and center. In my time reviewing both phones, I recorded videos of penguins swimming, played the console game Resident...

  Let's talk  the Nothing phone 2  The LED brand......... Some wants a cheap phone but won't accept the compromises it comes with, Last phone 1 was in my opinion good for the price to performance ratio.  The internet wanted latest available chip for cheap, better hug the Pixel A series. Here in the fancy boi we see a price increase for a last year chip Snapdragon 8 gen 1, now here goes the price complain, though I saw some twitter complaint for the used midrange chip in the Phone 1. Though the price hike for their 2nd phone is sure a shocker as it's not a subtle change so is the hardware if considered.

While the Pixel 7 is just normal all round with a bit of a chin to it.   HARDWARE  Screen ...

Apple does things well whenever they implement old tech, but fumbled the Always on Screen feature. The release of the iPhone 14 brings the era of AOS "Always on Screen" into the iPhone 14 pro series as a bundle in the package, whilst trying to be unique 'Apple way' they kinda messed it up, it does look cool at first glance until you drop your phone, just to still think your phone is On and you'd wanna press the power button to switch off the screen, which is distracting but not only does it takes brightness up a notch but take a noticeable toll on the battery life. I hope Apple do something about it soon enough though or it's gonna become the most useless feature to be announced by Apple.  It got fixed with a software update, cheers Apple 📣

This is the hyped phone with lights at the back

  Should Apple be scared of Google's new phone  ? How much of a challenge can the Pixel 6 give the new iphone 13 🤔? To my opinion this Pixel will be the perfect challenger to the the new released iphone 13 . It's quite interesting to see Google bringing it's own custom built chip to the Pixel, and that's where the big deal is. The Pixels are know for their camera, that shows how good of a competition the pixel and Google's software is in the smartphone world. The pixel has a new design, which gives off how much camera were getting. To the leaks it's looking like 4 camera hardware, but i guess it's just 3, the wide, ultra wide, telephoto. Which is same setup for the iphone 13 pros. Now comes the big announcement which should fret the iphone a bit, and that is the new Tensor Soc, which is know to be custom built by Google, just like the A bionic chips for the iphones, and Huawei's own Kirin chip.  Now that's where the party gets interesting 🙂, becaus...

Iphone 13 and it's goodies How apple Aced the market whilst keeping their old design. 1. Design : How Apple aced the market with an old design. At first i was not excited to hear the announcement of the new iphone 13 but the red  colour got my attention, well i have a thing for red's in some cases, but there's no denying this looks stunning on the iphone 13, with the non pros having a slant camera module to distinguish from old 12. Then next is the slightly reduced notch, which then pushed the earpiece upward. 2. Storages   : We all love ourselves some big storages to keep stuffs, well Apple just did us good by giving a 128gb of storage to all models to start with, then there's option to opt for 1tb if that's what can get it done for you or you've gat some bucks to spare on storage. It's not new to the smartphone world but good to have the option on an iphone. 3. Battery :  Apple claimed the iPhone 13's gets more than 1 hours of extra battery to keep yo...

Oneplus 6 Speaking in his native Mandarin, OnePlus' co-founder and CEO Pete Lau exudes a reserved persona, despite being only weeks away from unveiling the OnePlus 6T phone. Compared to the company's other co-founder, Carl Pei, Lau carries himself more formally. Though the two look unassuming in their own ways, Pei is often seen wearing cotton tees and clapping back on Twitter about free phone handouts and false product rumors. Meanwhile Lau, who is 14 years Pei's senior, mostly tweets about OnePlus industry news. It's this calm demeanor that betrays his nervousness inside -- something you wouldn't notice until Lau explicitly mentioned it when asked about the launch. "My feelings are, to best summarize, complex," said Lau through an interpreter. "It's a mix of both excitement and anxiety." Donning a black button-up and bespeckled navy blazer, he goes on to compare his feelings to when your own child is about to be born. Though the One...
