Microsoft’s Surface 3 is the first announced device to use Intel’s new Cherry Trail Atom chips, but you can expect therm to show up soon in other devices too. So what are the chips capable of and what should we expect? The Surface 3, which  went on sale Tuesday , highlights some of the capabilities of Cherry Trail, officially called the Atom X5 and X7. The chips can run full Windows 8 and Windows 10 and are better at graphics than their ‘Bay Trail’ predecessors. But they also have limitations. They won’t do so well at compute intensive tasks such as video editing, which remain the domain of Intel’s faster Core processors. Here’s a few other things to expect: Multiple OSes Cherry Trail tablets will run both Windows and Android—though don’t expect too many of the latter. Atom chips are favored more in Windows tablets, which is partly why Intel is struggling to compete with ARM, which dominates the huge Android market. Cherry Trail chips will initially go into higher-end tab

In the present world one of the hottest topic in the industry is VoLTE. So let us see briefly about the technology to understand how this works. Since the launch of  Jio , one of the technical jargon’s that is widely in buzz is  VoLTE  and Reliance Jio is also betting big on  VoLTE. Being a highly technical terminology there have been many doubts arising on  VoLTE.  We have tried to clear all those doubts/confusions with this article. I will also try to explain VoLTE in a very simple terminology without going much into technical details and keep it as short as possible. × While I will not consider all the aspects/implications of technologies, I will explain mainly about VoLTE in a consumer centric approach. *The disadvantages of any technology discussed here is out of the scope of this article. Voice/Data implementations in India : 1. GSM/G/GPRS :   Voice call  without  simultaneous data transfer support 2. EDGE/E : a) Voice call  without  simultaneous data transfer su

That's a good question. Goblin's answer is a good analogy but a little bit scant on details. It's fairly entertaining too. I like his post. I'll see if I can be more succinct in simple terms. CDAF focuses directly on the sensor. It uses a distinct lline in the image by moving the lens until that line obtains the highest contrast, which coincides with the sharpest focus. It works best with lenses designed to move with these focus motions. It does not work well with the Olympus E-series DSLR, 4/3 lenses. CDAF has in the past been used primarily on P&S cameras and is now used on micro 4/3 cameras like the OM-D E-M5 and E-P5. It works well on Pen and OM-D cameras when micro4/3 lenses are used but works very slowly with Olympus's 4/3 lenses built for DSLRs. PDAF uses a sensor placed in the light path created by the mirror. It works basically the same way with any DSLR, or single lens reflex camera, like the E-5. It uses two sensor points to detect the phase dif

Chinese technology maker Xiaomi may just have won at, well, smartphone-ing. It’s done. The game is up. It’s over.Amazing fact is that despite the technological battle among the giants like SAMSUNG,APPLE,or even GOOGLE, Xiaomi came up with such an advanced ultimate design with innovation .exactly what are we talking about?  Firstly, the device packs a huge 6.4-inch display, which you would be forgiven for expecting to make this one humongous phone. But it’s not, mainly thanks to its almost bezel-free design. When I say that, it’s hard to actually visualize what I mean, so just check out the photos of this thing and let them work their way into your brain. This thing very, very nearly doesn’t have any bezels to speak of, and that’s momentous.This picture definitely tell you a story doesn't it? In order to do away with bezels, Xiaomi has removed the proximity sensor and earpiece, replacing them with technology that is using something called piezoelectric ceramic acoustic technol

The world “cellphone” is no longer unfamiliar to us. We know how much importance this little device has gained in our lives. When it comes to buying a cellphone, we fancy of owning the trendiest device available in market. We would hunt for a phone with highest camera megapixels, most stable operating system, and best of applications available. But, how many of us pay attention to the processor embedded inside the cellphone? In case you don’t know, processor is an intricate yet an integral part of a smartphone. The processor inside a mobile phone is as important as the operating system it runs on. Because most of us are not aware of the tasks a processor performs, we tend to overlook it. A bunch of smartphones is already out there in market and some will be launched soon, so what will be your deciding factor while buying a mobile phone? What is it that makes one mobile phone better than the other? And answer is, the small processor present inside the phone. It is the processor

Understanding ISO – A Beginner’s Guide It is challenging to  take good pictures  without a good understanding of how ISO works and what it does. Camera ISO is one of the three pillars of photography (the other two being  Aperture  and  Shutter Speed ) and every photographer should thoroughly understand it, to get the most out of their equipment. Since this article is for beginners in photography, I will try to explain ISO as simple as I can. Before we go any further, you should first understand  how DSLR cameras work . 1) What is ISO? In very basic terms, ISO is the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive it is to the light, while a higher ISO number increases the sensitivity of your camera. The component within your camera that can change sensitivity is called “image sensor” or simply “sensor”. It is the most important (and most expensive) part of a camera and it is responsible for gathering light and transformin

1. Proximity Sensor A proximity sensor is a  sensor  able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical  Scansiona il QrCode per vedere il profilo Contact di {name} e clikka per creare il tuo GRATIS  is comprised of an infrared LED and an IR light detector. It is placed near the earpiece of a phone, and for a good reason – when you place the handset up to your ear, the sensor lets the system know that you're most probably in a call and that the screen has to be turned off. The sensor works by shining a beam of invisible to humans infrared light which is reflected from a nearby object and picked up by the IR detector. 2. Light sensor A phone's light sensor is what measures how bright the ambient light is. The phone's software uses this data to adjust the display's brightness automatically – when ambient light is plentiful, the screen's brightness is pumped up, and when it is dark, the display is dimmed down. An interesting fact is that high-e
