There has been many ongoing, contrasting opinions towards new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus camera sets. Are the new iPhone camera worth our attention? Let’s see the reasons behind the big hype.

Everything you need to know about iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus camera

Two days ago, Phil Schiller – Apple marketing chief – introduced to the whole tech world new iPhones with their new feature tweaks. Some people already foresaw and correctly guessed the changes while some surprised by the new improvements. However, it can be safely stated that – the new AirPods and the lack of iPhone headphone jack – the changes in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus camera sets was one of the main highlights of the Apple Event.

The iPhone 7 has a main camera of 12MP with f/1.8 aperture, optical image stabilization and Quad-LED True Tone flash that is 50% brighter than iPhone 6s. Noticably, the iPhone 7 camera has a six-element structure that allows for photos and videos to be taken in low light. The camera at the back can make videos ranging from 720p at 240fps to 2160p at 30fps. The 7MP frontal camera has f/2.2 aperture, Retina Flash, panorama feature and ability to make remarkable 1080p videos at 30fps.

he iPhone 7 Plus has the same frontal camera quality and specs as iPhone 7, but the iPhone 7 Plus has an entirely different option to offer for its main camera! The camera at the back of the bigger iPhone model has dual 12MP cameras: a wide-angle lens which is 28mm  (f/1.8) and a telephoto lens which is 56mm (f/2.8). The dual cameras will allow for high-quality photos with a zoom from farther away! Both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus camera sets will have a all-new depth-of-field effect, which is said to come with the new software update in the upcoming few months.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus camera: appreciated but definitely not groundbreaking

With a basic 32GB capacity, the iPhone 7 is priced at 649USD while the iPhone 7 Plus is priced at 769USD. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus camera sets have good improvements. However, if we just consider the phone in terms of camera specs and offered improvements, there might be better smartphone options with lower prices. There are definitely many smartphones with dual cameras.

Many users are damaging their phone batteries by charging in the wrong way. This will harm the cells in the long term. This time, we’ll give you some tips to save your smartphone battery life.

Smartphone battery life: do not charge fully 100%

First, you shouldn’t fully charge your phone 100% or charge it overnight. This will harm the smartphone battery life in the long term. When the capacity reaches to 100%, the phone continues charging to keep the capacity still at 100% while still plugged in (this is called “trickle charges”). This will cause the battery to be in the high-tension condition and easily worn out. So, if you want your smartphone battery to last longer, try to not charge it 100% fully, or unplug right when it reaches 100%.

Secondly, you should charge your smartphone battery whenever you can. Instead of charging one time and fully, you should charge the phone many times in the day and charge for a short duration. There is an old conception that this kind of charging will harm the battery. However, it’s not true for new Li-ion batteries, which are used in modern smartphones. In contrast, this will make your smartphone battery last longer. Not only that, you will always have enough battery for many activities like playing games, browsing, or using GPS.

The third action you could do to save your phone battery is to keep it cool. Your smartphone battery life is very sensitive to hot temperature. If you let your device in hot condition too long, the battery of the phone will gradually be ruined. So, if you use a case, just take it off when charging. If you are outside and under the hot sunlight, make sure your phone is covered.

Smartphone battery life: Easy to do

Those are three tips to protect your smartphone battery from long term damage. Those tips are easy to remember and easy to do. With them, you can increase the life of your phone battery. Try following those tips and you can see the difference. If you want to know more about smartphone tips, just keep following our page!

Samsung and Oppo are two of the the top smartphone brands in South East Asia (SEA). According to IDC (International Data Corporation), phones from these two brands are also the best-selling handsets in this area. Let’s see the details!

Samsung and Oppo phones: SEA domination

Southeast Asia is one of the most populous areas in the world. This region also has one of the largest phone consumption in the market. Recently, IDC (International Data Corporation) has just shown their sales research for this region. According to the report, the phone consumption rate has risen 6.5% this year compared to 2015. Samsung and Oppo are the two brands having the biggest number of phones used here.

Standing at the top spot is Samsung with 20% market shares. Right after that is the company from China – Oppo. It seems that this brand has firmly consolidated its position in the Southeast Asia. Last year, this Chinese brand sold over 50 million phones in this religion. This is not a surprise because their marketing campaigns are really impressive. The third place goes to a Thai company – Thai True. Asus from Taiwan and Lava from India take the fourth and fifth position respectively.

So, let’s have a look at the two recent noticeable Samsung and Oppo phones. First is Galaxy Note 7 from Samsung. This phone has a 5.7-inch Quad HD display and 4GB RAM. It also features one of the best cameras right now: 12MP+5MP back and front combo. Oppo has F1s which is considered the expert selfie at the moment. This handset owns two 16MP cameras on the back and front. It runs on an octa-core MT6750 with 3GB RAM.

High-end Apple iPhones: not on the list

Apple does not show up in this list. This is understandable because iPhones are aimed at the high-end segment with high prices. Meanwhile, Samsung and Oppo branches to more segments, and a lot of phones from these two brands are much cheaper in comparison. Beautiful designs, strong specs, and affordable prices are the main factors making these brands successful in SEA market. Do you own a Samsung or Oppo phone? Share with us!

Battery is one of the most concerned issue for smartphone users. There are many phones with great performance but without a big battery. In that case, portable battery is a good option. Today we’ll show you how to choose a suitable portable battery!

Portable battery: It depends on your needs

The first thing to be concerned about when buying a portable battery is of course, the capacity. For those who want to use portable cell just for urgent situation, a 5000mAh one will be a great option. Meanwhile, if you are someone who goes out a lot and often can’t find any plug to charge your phone, a portable cell with 10.000mAh capacity will be a suitable one.

The second thing to consider before buying a portable battery is the intensity of the current. Normally, portable cells are divided into two kinds based on its current intensity: one with 5V – 1A and the other with 5V – 2.1A. To be more specific, the 5V – 1A one is suitable for flip-phones, feature phones and some old generation smartphones. The other one is for current smartphones and tablets.

Another aspect we should think about when choosing a portable battery is its warranty. Electronic appliances are always unpredictable. They may break down at any time without any specific warning. Portable cell is not an exception. Moreover, when it breaks down, it’s hard to get it fixed. As a result, choosing one with long warranty may save you lots of money in case bad things happen.

Portable battery: consider the extra features!

Last but not least, there are some matters you need to pay attention to before bringing home a portable battery. If you have two smartphones or one smartphone and a tablet, you should buy one with two charging ports. If you often use the removable cell outside, it’s better to choose the ones covered with metal or silicone, because they have better endurance. Moreover, we prefer the ones that automatically disconnects when your device is fully charged. With all the advice we have given, we hope you will find the most suitable one for you.
