Samsung Galaxy Note 8: Rumors For Release:

As Samsung is also ready to launch its Galaxy S8 smartphone instead, it may be planning to create a fully focused environment to bring a refined quality product to the users. Rumors are also there about the rushed out launch of the Note 7 to compete with the iPhone 7 & 7 Plus that had made a very unsuccessful working environment all around.

As I have also talked about the possibilities for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 failure in the previous articles, still Samsung is unaware of the exact cause of the explosions for their disastrous product. Although it has yet not disclosed public ally any of the plans regarding the release of any Note series lineups.

It is also noted that Samsung may rework with the Note 8 for its safety & improvised quality & also change its name before the release in order to pull out the Note 7 name from the consumers mind.

“Microsoft Teams” May Be The New Slack Competitor: As discussed in the earlier post regarding the release of the Slack competitor from Microsoft in the upcoming event of Microsoft. It was titled as “Skype Teams” earlier but now some change in the name has been made according to the source news it will be called as “Microsoft Teams” now on since the release time.

This news was discovered when the internal beta test login page for service was earlier directed to teams.skype.com but since a few days back the URL is redirecting the link to the location as teams.microsoft.com, which creates possibilities for the change of name from “Skype Teams” to “Microsoft Teams” & it is also a better name as in most of the opinions.

“Microsoft Teams” May Be The New Slack Competitor”:

This slack competitor is expectedly scheduled to be unveiled during the Microsoft Event which is to be held on 26th of October this year,  that means less than 2 hours to go. As of now Microsoft is also focused on working professionals so using the Microsoft Teams brand may be a better idea during the long-running schedule.

It not considering the Slovenian company which has applied for the naming of the New All-in-One PC, Microsoft itself is involved in filing the “Surface Laptop”, “Paint 3D”, “Surface Dial”, & “Dial”. As Microsoft is also gearing up for the launching of the revamped version of its Paint app which will be featuring 3D editings too. As per the working pattern of the All-in-One PC, it can turn down the desk into a studio, So the name seems to be fitting quite very well to the newly expected device this event.

HP Elite X3: The So-Called Best Continuum Smartphone Phone: Though it is the very first Venture for HP in Windows 10 Mobile & it has done very well with the very first one itself. Don’t get confused with the Elite X3, yes it is a smartphone but that would be less, not only a smartphone, the HP Elite X3 can be called by many names due to the category defining features of the Elite X3. This one from HP in the mobile section is a lot different from all other devices & will force you for reconsideration. The device runs with the Windows 10 Anniversary update as of now & being liked by a huge section of Microsoft Smartphone users.

HP Elite X3: The So-Called Best Continuum Smartphone Phone:

Reconsideration for the Elite X3 Smartphone, many questions raised abut the use of the phone as desktop, laptop & smart phone but all this have been made possible by the use of Windows 10 Mobile & Continuum. Although the Microsoft range of smartphones like Lumia 950 & 950 XL has also similar features but the broader ecosystem of HP hardware & infrastructure supported the vision quite very excellently.

HP has designed the Elite X3 & equipped it with such features demanding their potential users to use it like a Windows Tablet having telephony abilities & also capable of running real desktop Windows apps through HP Workspace. HP has always believed in experimenting & bringing up some extraordinary features to their potential users. However, it has also failed sometimes like the disastrous webOS failure a few years back. But since they evolve they redesign things more appropriately like the Splitting hardware thing.

[table id=25 /]

Components of the HP Elite X3:

This one has been made up of mainly three components and that are below for your information before trying up the Elite X3:

• Elite X3 Mobile Device: The so-called smartphone is this one which runs on Windows 10 Mobile, having a high tech latest upgraded processor of Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 CPU, RAM of 6GB & an onboard storage capacity up to 64GB.

• HP Desk Dock: In order to link the Elite X3 to any external monitor with mouse & keyboard, one pounded dock is present i.e. The HP Desk Dock. With multiple ports included inside it, a display port also embedded, 2 USB-A ports, a USB Type-C port & an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for faster LAN connectivity is also included within the Desk Dock.

• HP Lap Dock: For the easy mobility this one is made to push the Elite X3’s OS to the Lap Dock with a 48 hrs of battery. It having no CPU, RAM or any Harddisk support on its own but all that comes from the phone itself. An easy way to get converted your Elite X3 into a 12.5 inch full HD Laptop with the full sized keyboard while charging the Elite X3 side by side.

  

From the above description, it is very clear about the use & experience of the Elite X3. There is no need that you should be having all the components in order to enjoy the X3 experience. Without the Docks, you can just enjoy the full smartphone features of the HP Elite X3 as a Windows Phone.

Let’s talk about the Features of the all new HP Elite X3 one by one:

Elite X3’s Battery: 

While having a powerful battery of 4150 mAh, it is not much massive but its quite bigger. As providing much more power backup than the Galaxy S7 Edge (550 mAh less battery) & iPhone 7 Plus (1250 mAh less battery power), it only weighs about 195 grams which are found to be just 7 grams more than the iPhone 7 Plus.

Battery backup of the Elite X3 is very good as it backs it up for the whole day without getting drained easily. While testing it since last few weeks I never had to complain about the battery back up. While HP claims it to be giving 18 hours of regular use backup & According to my use it was almost able to fulfill the said backup time.

Featuring the Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology almost 78-80% of charge is very easily achievable by just charging it for 70-75 minutes. Very approximately it could achieve a percent gain in battery power per minute if said broadly.

Hardware & Design: 

All the 3 components listed above features with a very impressive quality. The Elite X3 is also made Liquid & Dust proof to an IP67 rating also passing away the military drop tests. With the placements of the buttons & refinements in addition to the AMOLED display is very easily able to nail the design. A very powerful vibrator this time will never allow you to miss even a single notification.

The HP Elite X3 is equipped with two front firing speakers from Bang & Olufsen. This was an outstanding addition to the Windows mobile device by B & o. Making audio calls via conferencing or Skype chatting will give a Veeru good to the first time users.

Featuring a 5.96″ WQHD AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440. Having Gorilla glass 4 used for the display, reading anything on it makes easier with much brighter & contrasting display. No, any glance screen features will be enabled lie the Lumia series but HP may add to it using the technology from Microsoft, sometimes later.

Performance: 

As the Windows 10 mobile is found to be more CPU intensive than the predecessors, so performance is almost good with the newly equipped Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor which is clocked at 2.15 GHz speed, that makes it the fastest Windows mobile device overall. If talking about the calling features, we get excellent reception on the Elite X3 & hence providing good voice clarity without call drops.

Equipped with a 16 megapixel f/2.0 rear camera you will be getting better photos like any other phone of the range. It almost approaches the quality of the Nokia being a no-Lumia device, flash is also better than expected. Featuring an 8-megapixel front facing camera that is Full HD, specially optimized for video conferencing via Skype over Wi-Fi & LTE.

As mentioned earlier, the Elite X3 connects easily with the Desk Dock or a USB Type-C dongle through the Ethernet provided, achieving an excellent upload & download speeds of up to 100 Mbps.

Security Functions:

HP this time brings up the Elite X3 with an iris scanner & a fingerprint scanner for Biometric Authentication for full proof security as per day to day requirement.

Price & Availability:

This prime device from HP is available for about $699, which is a good amount but as per the very first Windows 10 mobile device from HP is considered, it is worthy of that. The Desk Docks are also available for about $150 taking up the price to $799. While a toss in the $599 Lap Dock will bring the complete X3 system at your home.

However, by the end of the month of October, it is supposed to be sold all together for a price of $1299 which will be a cheaper deal than buying them separately by $150.

Who is better Assistant Siri or Google: After the release of Google’s new Assistant called as Google Assistant which consider most reliable Assistant for searching or asking questions or get things done. While after this launch main competition goes to Apple’s Siri, as both Assistant work on the same function to respond to a user command and present the best result out of it. Apple and Google both companies are working for their Assistant since 2005 but in 2011 Siri came into limelight and Google Assistant in 2016. In this duration, Siri gains almost many advance command but Google new Assistant also work on, to perform the same function

Both these assistants have same feature but Google Assistant advance in some of them including search result and understand what user searching for. Google Assistant advance in showing results like some facts or video, understand the context of talk and respond according to it, while these feature you’ll not able to find in Siri. While Siri has integration of many apps like Uber, Skype, WhatsApp, Lyft, Twitter, Facebook and many other to perform the various task without opening the app, this means that third parties integration of Siri is much wider and better than Google. But Google also provides SDK for their Assistant so that developer can develop their Apps to work with commands given to Assistant. So these are this thing we are talking in this article to stay here and read more.

Who is better Assistant Siri or Google:

Voice Activation:

Both assistants have their hot words like “Hey Siri” for Siri and “Ok Google” for Google Assistant. You can access this Assistant handsfree with this Hot Word and these Assistant are accessible by only your voice.

To set up these Assistant both these OS provide initial device setup in which you can set you voice to respond to these hot words and both these Assistant work perfect with this feature.

Reliability:

Talking about reliability both Assistant works pretty well some at some point they not able to work as we want. As using for search or asking question Google Assistant is more reliable than Siri as it searches its result from Google search and able to give a vivid description of the topic. While Siri only able to search the topic which she won’t understand as she won’t able to differentiate between many commands like if you want to search certain things on phone Siri search web while if you want to search web Siri won’t able to search the web sometime or won’t understand the topic.

But certain things like reminding about that Google Assistant won’t able to do these things if something present on the screen but Siri will able to remind things you want present in front of the screen. But both these have no match with Microsoft’s Cortana who can able you remind things like if you want to remind about something you want to tell you, friend, when he calls next or many other things Cortana perform these tasks perfect.

There are many ways to check their reliability like App usage as you can use Siri to Book Uber or Call Skype to your friend within a second but not in Google at least for now. So concluding all these both are getting equal points in this.

Usability:

Using both these Assistant is very easy only you have to ask question or command certain instruction and both interface will do these things easily. But while searching the whole web and get relevant information Google Assistant is awesome as you want to book hotels or book tickets Google Assistant can do these things easily and without any issue while Siri unable to do that. While Siri can perform Stock pre-build function like making remainder, set up alarm and many other things also done by Google Assistant but Siri performs better in that terms.

But app integration in Siri now becomes global which made Siri lead on this topic as you can perform a function like a book Uber or See Pins of Pinterest from Siri while on Google this is still not present.

Best of Google Assistant:

Google Assistant is easy and most accurate in terms of Answer. As Suggestion bar on the bottom of the Assistant suggest always the next question you want to ask this part of this Assistant makes this better. Answering the question or making more advance answers Google Assistant uses Google API to finds better and perfect answer for each question. So this is the best part of Google Assistant which made this Assistant better than any other. Contextual Topic of Google Assistant means things you talking to this Assistant also remember this thing very good.

Best of Siri:

Siri also got some best feature like searching things inside your device, like photos of last year, or with someone Siri can show these things perfectly without any issue and the user also love this part of Siri. While integration of Apps like Facebook or Twitter made the user go handsfree which you’ll not find in any of the Assistant as you can post tweet or status with Siri without typing this and sending it. Apps integration in Siri is better than Google Assistant which you’ll not find in any Assistant. Clear interface and nice layout of text and incorrect text suggestion made Siri more superior than other.

Overall:

Both these interface are best of their world but work pretty differently as Google Assistant is best for the Global world but Siri for Mobile and You World. But time will tell how this interface will become better, Assistant, as time passes and things grow.

There is no clear winner in the topic as both perform different task very well and Google Assistant still not able to get third parties app integration which requires time. So until then we will now able to know who is best among both of these. So here are my counterparts to compare this two Assistant but what are you tell me in the comment section below until the Good Bye and Stay tuned.

Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro With 6GB RAM & Snapdragon 653: Just before the launching session going to start today in China, the C9 Pro Version appeared online through T-Mall just hours before it is officially announced. First pictures of the Galaxy C9 are unofficially made available just before the launch of the high-tech mobile from Samsung.

According to the source available, it will be packed with the latest mobile technologies but will not be catching up with the Samsung’s very own Flagship Galaxy S range.

The handset will be featuring with a 1080p, 6 inches of display this time.

Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro With 6GB RAM & Snapdragon 653

As Qualcomm earlier announced the Snapdragon 653 processor will have 6GB of RAM & so is the RAM of the C9 Pro as quoted by the largest Chipset manufacturer a few days back. The C9 Pro is supposedly being launched to give tough competition to the Chinese rivals in the market through its high-end specs. Also, its internal storage for on board will be 64GB, supported by a microSD card slot too for expansion of storage capacity.

For long term usage, it is also backed up with a power bank of 4000 mAh battery, so the long day users may get benefits from the same. A 16-megapixel image sensor at the front & the back of the handset will enhance the C9 Pro’s photography & seems to be pleasing the selfie addicts.

With the C9 Pro it will be including a USB Type-C port, dual 4G LTE SIM slots, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, Samsung pay support, Cirrus HiFi Codec will be supported for better audio & the recent feature that is now been included by most of the competitors i.e.  A fingerprint scanner that will be embedded in the home button.

COST & AVAILABILITY:

The new addition to the Galaxy family from Samsung i.e. Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro will most probably be made available for sale by any time very soon in colors: Gold & Rose Gold. It will be costing approx. $475 for the high-end specs.

Keep in touch with the website for full C9 Pro review very sooner after the official launch.

What Can Be Expected From This Microsoft’s Windows 10 Event: This time Microsoft at the Event on 26-October might showcase fewer announcements with a lesser hardware too. There’s a lot that has been experimented during the last few months to make available with the new bundle of update which is code named as “Redstone 2”. Now ready to make available the OS builds as Version 1703 to the insiders as preview builds for providing with a valuable feedback. Some of the features that may become available during this event include HomeHub, HoloShell, UWP File Explorer & many more things.

Microsoft is planning up & started working with another successive line in the Windows 10 update section with Redstone 3. This Microsoft’s Windows 10 event which is popular for its Redstone 2 unveiling can probably be released earlier in 2017. We have already discussed in the previous post regarding Windows Redstone 2 that will be coming up with the new Windows 10 update.

What Can Be Expected From This Microsoft’s Windows 10 Event:

1) HomeHub : Amazon Echo competitor:

Microsoft may feature an Amazon Echo competitor this time that is lined up for unveiling that is related to the Windows 10 feature known as “HomeHub” – during this event as per sources. Like Apple, Microsoft is also now focussing on more voice-based techs & hopefully this Amazon Echo competitor will be powered by the so-called personal assistants i.e. Cortana. This makes a lot of sense as the company is making available such devices which will be essentially based on Smart voice commands & will make life better & easier.

This smart voice device will be able to store files such as music, video & docs directly on the device which can be readily streamed with any other devices in the area.

2) Surface All-in-One:

It was reported very back in June as a rumor but from sources, it is now almost very clear & hopefully will be announced during the event. The All-in-One Surface is designed keeping in mind to fulfill the demands of a studio i.e. Codenamed as “Cardinal”. The cardinal might feature a detachable display & inking support.

Official Surface keyboards & mouse are likely to be shown up with the PC. Two designs of keyboards will be displayed one is small & another one is ergonomic however both are designer keyboards equipped with new technology.

May or May not be Showcased:

1) Surface Refresh: Kaby Lake:

There is a very less probability regarding the announcement of the Surface Pro 5 or Surface Book 2 if released it will be great but we don’t expect it much. Although there are some rumors for the release of the new Kaby Lake processors  that has been refreshed for the surface line. Kaby Lake is a code name given to the 7th generation of Core i3, i5 & i7 processors which will be featuring reduced heat, a double-digit bump in integer performance, improved speed shift technology & a native hardware support for 4K encoding/decoding at 10-bit depths & VP9 decoding. The Kaby lake has improved 14nm process like Skylake predecessor but it precedes next year’s 10nm shift to Cannonlake.

2) Project Centennial:

Microsoft has been working on bringing up Win32 games to the windows store with this Project Centennial app & it will prove to be a good demonstration showing developers achievement if Surface All-in-one will be powerful enough to play games. Some other Win32 programs may also show up in the windows store like from Adobe & Slack.

3) Alcatel Idol 4 Pro: 

A prosumer level Windows 10 mobile device that could feature a VR add-on is the Alcatel Idol 4 Pro. It reportedly features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, a 4GB of RAM, & storage of up to 64GB onboard. It may be made available with a 5.5-inch display having a 1920 x 1080 resolution.

4) Skype Teams:

As Microsoft is planning to release a new team collaboration service called “Skype Team” which will be genuinely a close competitor of the popular Slack. An option of the downloadable client will be featured along with the online service of the Skype Teams. It might be integrated at some point with the Windows 10. Let’s see that if this will be unveiling in this event or not.

Another Microsoft Event particularly will be an Office Event, is Scheduled to be held on November 2 this year according to sources. This event will be exactly after a week from the Microsoft Windows 10 Event. The latter event will hopefully focus on the software & service section. So expectations are building up, let’s wait & hope for the better upcoming from the company.
