HP Elite x3 vs OnePlus 3: specs battle

Firstly, let’s see what specs they have in common. As for the processor, they all come with 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, along with Dual core, 2.2 GHz, Kryo and Dual core, 1.6 GHz.  The Adreno 530 is also included in both handsets.

Now you can listen to music without being disturbed by headphone cables and bright sun. A Zungle Panther sunglasses with built-in bone conducting headphones has just been introduced to the world. 

Zungle Panther sunglasses: A new kind of vibrant sunglasses!

The idea of putting sunglasses and bone conducting headphones together already operated. But it seems not to meet the world demand. Lately, a startup company by the name of Zungle based in Los Angeles produced a wearable tech. It features a bone-conducting speaker on each side of the frame and named it “Zungle Panther”. The Panther has everything you’d expect from headphones and even a phone.

The Zungle Panther sunglasses supports Bluetooth 4.1 connection, hands-free calling with a mic attached inside and audio control by way of a jog dial. As for Zungle Panther Sunglasses specs, it weighs a highly manageable 45 grams and houses a 300 mAh battery which is able to play music for 4 hours. The battery is recharged through a hidden microUSB charging port in the hinge area.

The sunglasses uses bon-conduction for its headphone function. Normally, other headphones transmit sound waves outside the ears. The Zungle Panther sunglasses sends sound wave vibrations through the skull. Therefore the crystal-clear sound is transmitted. Meanwhile, the surroungdings hear nothing. The users pair the device to their smartphone via Bluetooth and opens their music app on their phone. A dial over the right ear frame can be tapped to customize the playlist, and spun to fast-forward and rewind songs. Because the headphones use bone-conduction to transmit audio, they also allow your ears to hear everything including your surroundings.

Zungle Panther sunglasses: price and release date!

Zungle Panther sunglasses design comes in five different colors with even more replacement lenses. It is available on online retailers from June 16th for orders. Zungle Panther sunglasses price is around $ 150 (RM 604).

Last few days ago, we heard that Apple intends to kill headphone jack on the upcoming iphone 7. But now, it doesn’t seem true anymore. Let’s check!

iphone 7: still works with headphone!

It was believed that headphone jack will be removed to make space for another speaker. From another aspect, the purpose is to make the iphone 7 thinner or to waterproof this handset. However, this may no longer be the case. A couple of photos which were posted by Rock Fix (a smartphone repair shop based in Ganzhou) were leaked lately on Weibo. Such photos showed up several parts which are allegedly materials for the iphone 7.

First photo appears to be two variants, one with a 4.7 inch screen and another with a 5.5 inch screen. The next photo suggests the handset may keep its beloved 3.5mm headphone jack. The parts in such photo clearly show a port which is for headphone jack is attached to it. A double of SIM slots were included in these photos as well, which means  Apple might finally give us a chance to use dual SIM flagship.

The rest was about some memory chip which is said to be capable of 256 GB. Apart from such features, a dual-lens camera was recognized as a part of iphone 7 as well. Our sources are suggesting that iphone 7 and iphone 6/6S may look alike except the camera position or some ports. According to some reports, it is believed that Apple will change the antenna line, specifically its design.

iPhone 7: price and release date!

Still, those are not confirmed by Apple yet. We probably do not know exactly what Apple’s plan for the iPhone 7 until the device gets official. Iphone 7 price will be around $700, which is kind of expensive. Lets see if it is worth buying or not in the next two months.

Xiaomi smartphone is always a popular brand in China. And it’s not a surprised that it defeated Huawei’s and became the winner of the best seller title. 

Xiaomi smartphone: always in the top 3

JD.com- Jingdong Mall- is a Chinese electronic commerce company. It is one of the largest online retailers in China. There was a grand sale offering a great smartphone discounts on this website from 1st to 18th June. In this 18-day period, Apple was at the top in the total product sales category. Coming after that at the 2nd place is Huawei – Honor, Xiaomi kept the 3rd spot. The other ranks belong to Lenovo, Samsung, Meizu, HP, Canon, Dell and LeEco respectively.

That’s the total result. How about the detailed data? In the category of total sales number, Xiaomi defeated every rival and took the crown. Its biggest competitor-Huawei- is the runner-up. Apple came right after that, and then Meizu, LeEco and Samsung. In the total sales value aspect, Apple, of course, is the champion. Huawei+ Honor once again owned the 2nd spot, after that is Xiaomi. It’s quite surprised that 360 Mobiles brand had the places in these two charts.

In terms of the best-selling smartphone in this period, Meizu M3 Note was the champion. This is such a great achievement for the company. The 2nd place went to iPhone 6S. Redmi Note 3 came to the next place, follow it is Redmi 3. The smartphones came after were Le 2, Redmi 3S, Xiaomi Mi5, iPhone 5S, Mi Max and Honor V8 respectively.

Have you ever wondered why most current smartphones come with non-removable battery? Let’s take a look at the 5 reasons below!

Non-removable battery smartphones: great designs and waterproof!

First of all, non-removable battery goes with seamless design. Many smartphone manufacturers don’t want their phones to feature any removable case, because it makes the phone less beautiful. This is somehow true because phone users nowadays mostly prefer a seamless design, which looks more premium and luxury. Moreover, it’s hard to design a removable case for a phone with metal construction (which is very popular in today’s flagships).

Second, non-removable battery support waterproof feature. Not all smartphones with non-removable battery are waterproof. But I am sure that all waterproof smartphones come with non-removable battery. This is very easy to understand! You CAN’T prevent the water from leaking into the phones if the design is NOT seamless. And most users nowadays prefer a waterproof smartphone to a smartphone with removable battery. That’s why it’s more likely to find a device with non-removable battery.

Third, smartphone battery now is much better than it was in the past. Current battery is quipped with great technology, which keeps the battery life really longer. So there’s no worry that the battery will turn dead after long time use. The forth reason is the power bank! In the past, people chose a phone with removable battery so that they could buy another backup battery in case the main one is used up. But now, with the appearance of mobile power bank, there’s no need to do that.

Non-removable battery smartphones: a strategy of the manufacturer?

The last reason could be the fact that the manufacturer wants us to switch for a new phone more often! This is not a popular ideas, but it makes sense to me! When you have a smartphone whose battery is dead and non-removable, there is only one way to solve that problem: buy a new one!

Vivo X7 vs Oppo F1 Plus are among the newest high-end smartphones that anyone would like to have. Let’s put them together and make a comparison between these beasts!

Both smartphones come with a 16MP front camera which is believed to create high-quality photos, videos as well as video calls. Vivo x7 rear camera resolution is still a secret. Meanwhile, Oppo Plus F1 offers a 13MP primary camera, which is even smaller than its secondary sensor and quite strange compared to most current smartphones.

Let’s have a look at Vivo X7 vs Oppo F1 Plus differences. Vivo X7 design appears with its shiny display related to the company teaser. Vivo X7 screen size will be around 6.0-inch, which is larger than Oppo F1 Plus 5.5-inch full HD touchscreen. According to some sources, Vivo X7 will run on Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 chipset while its rival sports Mediatek Helio P10.
