Windows 10 Anniversary Now On 75% Windows 10 PCs: Now of all the Windows 10 PCs, approx. 76% of them are running the Anniversary update. Since last checked in the earlier month the Anniversary Update i.e. 1607 was present only on 1/3 of the total Windows 10 PC users that show the rate to push the use of the update & share has been doubled or more than that.

The new PCs like the HP Spectre x360 which even after going on sale this week have the threshold 2 i.e.1511, it will have to wait until November.

Windows 10 Anniversary Now On 75% Windows 10 PCs:

Good news for Windows 10 mobile users as the Anniversary update on Mobile is almost completed now. Regarding the avoidance of fragmentation & OS updates, the news for Windows 10 mobile users has always been quite good. Mobile anniversary update is almost hitting 85% of completion now.

Of all Windows 10 mobile users only 5.6% accounts for Redstone 2 i.e. Fast ring insiders, rest all mobiles are still on the anniversary update or later, leaving about 9.5% on 1511. This will be good for the developers who still want to use & work on the features that are available in the Anniversary update.

WINDOWS 10 MOBILE USERS STILL LIMITED:

Overall Windows 10 Mobile users are only limited to about 14% of all Windows mobile users & still no growth is seen or expected for the adoption of the new Windows 10 Mobile devices. Only HP Elite x3 is in the row that too ranking 36 in windows phones & cannot be expected much from the new technology which may roll out starting next year.

PC MARKET OF HP STILL CRUSHING IT ALL:

• However, HP has maintained its no. 1 rank in PC manufacturers with all about 22% of the total market as resulted in the last month also.
• LENOVO & DELL this time had tied up at the Second position, each of them having about 11.6% market.
• The ASUS  has managed 11% & ACER being at 10% are below them in the market.
• The newly introduced in the PC market i.e. Microsoft featuring Surface Brands into PCs is just 3%, which has significantly not affected the OEM’s.

LOOKING FORWARD:

• DELL is ready to refresh with its killer XPS 13 line with Kaby Lake & few other modest improvements.
• HP has just launched the revamped Spectre x 360 Ultrabook & many more PCs this season, hoping for a good review for the Spectre x360.

5 Things You’ll Love About Google Pixels: Google’s Pixel are in the markets around the world and people are purchasing the new so called “Android King” or “iPhone Competitor” but is Google Pixel is really offended these words or not. In many review first time, Google Phone come front from all other flagships in the marker including Apple’s iPhone or Samsung’s Galaxy’s.

Samsung devices won’t coup up with Samsung Burn issue in Galaxy Note 7 and made this brand out of the side as no one is talking about Samsung devices. Samsung Galaxy Note 7 once consider the best smartphone of the year now become the worst as Samsung’s discounted the product of new Note 7 device.

5 Things You’ll Love About Google Pixels:

But back to new Pixel’s Google really made some promise to the user as they will give premium feel with premium OS. New Pixel device has Android 7.1 Nougat which you’ll not find in Nexus devices Google earlier flagship from other OEM’s. In the event, Google shows the DxO Marks of Pixel device which 89 highest marks given to any Smartphone Camera as compared with iPhone 7 which scores only 86 DxO Mark.

1). Google Assistant:

This feature is main attraction point of the device which made this device first Android device have Assistant. Talking to Google Assistant give more nice feedback as compared to Siri and some Answer like search or information are just perfect. While on the human side Google Assistant lacks some feature like contextual talking about the scenario or many other things which made this Assistant little bit lack.

App integration of this Assistant is started and some apps have access to this Assistant but Google open SDK for other developers to have it. While there is long way to go for this Assistant and Google has just started it.

2). Design & Display:

The design of new Pixel feels really premium and nice. The whole body of the device is made up of Aluminium which is nicely crafted with a blend of Glass panel at the back. Colors like Quite Black and Really Blue are the perfect but black one resembles the Jet Black and Matt Black Blend of iPhone 7.

On the usage issue, the device is just perfect for day to day use with nice layout and display. While on the surface on the back or the front the device won’t hop. And in the bend test device is really hard to the event made move as the device is really nicely built from inside.

Display of new Pixel is the new OLED panel and color saturation and perfection are just awesome. When to taking snaps and see on the device they are mind blowing and even looks better as a real situation. Display of new Pixel is also bright and Q-HD display really takes nice use of the device.

3). Interface:

Google Pixel Interface is far better than recent Android interface, New Interface includes a nice icon layout for each and every app so the app won’t look too odd. App tray button is now removed as you open App tray with swapping upside and you are ready to go.

Google tries to add Apple 3D Touch Shortcut to Android device even though Android user won’t care with this Shortcut but Google copied this feature well. But if you use original 3D Touch in recent new iOS 10 you’ll feel this thing is no near.

New Looks to Google launcher and way Google made Assistant is really nice and a way they implement these things made an appearance very nice.

4). Battery & Charging:

The battery in Google Pixel XL is really awesome you’ll get a day about the charge in heavy daily usages including Gaming, Checking Mail, Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp whole day and device won’t require a charge in the middle which is really nice part of this device. Charging in Pixel device is rapid fast as Whole charging of the device within 35 to 40min. You can get about 7 hours of battery life in just 15min is really nice.

New Apple Trademark For MacBook Pro Keyboard: Apple is really excited to show some new feature of MacBooks as they will reveal the product on next week. Yesterday Apple has filed a trademark called as Magic Toolbar which surely means that Apple is quoting new OLED Touch-Bar on the top of the Mac. Apple is looking to completely revamp their MacBook lineup by bringing some of the interesting features you’ll never see on the Notebook. Talking about new trademark reports saying that the name was registered back in February in the computer hardware category by a dummy corporation.

New Apple Trademark For MacBook Pro Keyboard:

The name of new Magic Toolbar may match up with other Apple accessories like Magic Mouse or Keyboard. By name this feature suggesting that Apple is behind OLED touch panel which can change according to use. Toolbar helps user to get the perfect button setup and can be easy use when they want. But there is no sign that Apple will put Touch ID in this OLED panel as Apple is planning to get in the power button.

Earlier this week Apple has patented new Keyboard technology called as e-ink Keyboard which changes character according to the situation. New Keyboard uses e-ink technology which helps the device to change the words according to people demand. While Apple really tries to end function physical keys and bring this new Magic Toolbar but it is nice to see when Apple bring this feature in Magic Keyboard.

The new MacBook Pro really receive some of the significant changes which made this Notebook stand among all other Notebook in the world and Apple is still king in the premium Notebook lineup but recent slowness may cause Apple sudden break down in Mac world. As 10 year earlier before iPhone Apple has a main focus on the Mac lineup but now Apple has faded all these things and only thinks about iPhone which may kill Mac lineup since 10 years.

So what you think about this new Keyboard trademark and do you love this name mention on the comment section below and stay tuned to Tech Awareness.

New Mac Keyboard Are Having As Dynamic and Variable Keyboard Travel In Recent Patent: After the announcement of Mac event Leaks of Mac started taking pace as yesterday a new leak called as E-ink keyboard in future MacBooks which is going to implement on 2018 Mac’s. But new patents suggest that Apple will revolutionize the computing industry again.

As new Patent make the keyboard more advanced as Apple may introduce Force Keyboard in Future Mac’s. As for press on the keyboard which made the words appears on the screen the harder, you press more changes of other text.

New Mac Keyboard Are Having As Dynamic and Variable Keyboard Travel In Recent Patent

The new patent notes that different people have different preferences for keyboard feel when typing as someone like a mechanical keyboard, other may like low noise keyboard while other may also like force keyboard which Apple may implement in future macs. The new keyboard is much shallow than 12-inch MacBook Butterfly mechanism keyboard.

Apple is pointing toward to rethink the keyboard which around when we know writing as they changes from when time passes and become more advance day by day but new concept will made revolution of keyboard as people can change preferences of Keyboard and can use their own keyboard they wanted as some want so send an emoji, or write in German, or Talk in Persian this keyboard may fulfil the demand of many people who prefer alternative. But making this type of keyboard is very hard Apple has to change the whole idea of the keyboard from tip to toe, they have to revision all the things to require to make keyboard and this keyboard must be cost effective and durable.

Apple has to face many issues regarding this but when this concept come out in reality people will surely love it. The new patent suggests solution allow the keyboard to detect a keypress even if the key doesn’t travel far enough to make mechanical contact with a sensor at the bottom. Optical sensors would detect shallow key presses while those who like longer travel would be able to fully depress the keys.

While from inside the scenario is different as inside their is light down below which got reflected from down of the reflective surface, a travel mechanism in this keyboard will be tactile feedback structure but Apple may approach to Haptic Engine to advance this step also as Apple use Haptic feedback in iPhone’s. The patent also suggests that the degree of movement required for detection could be set automatically depending on the app being used.

So this the whole concept of Apple new Keyboard but we will not able to see this thing until 2018 so two years are left and Apple is really trying to build something amazing. Some nay like this concept other may not but you can comment on below as how you like this concept and will you like to see this concept in future macs.

QUALCOMM INTRODUCES 3 NEW MID RANGE SNAPDRAGON CHIPSETS: 653, 626 & 427: As you, all must be aware with one of the world’s most renowned mobile chipset manufacturing company. Recently the company introduced 2 new chipsets 653 & 626 in the Snapdragon 600 tier & 1 new chipset 427 in the Snapdragon 400 tier. Since the midrange market is very huge for Qualcomm so it will be not a big problem to get maximum explorers of the newly announced chipsets for the San Diego-based company. And as the company has made very interesting new improvements that have been added with the new silicon pieces it will be a tough market still as they are not as exciting as the flagships 830.

All the 3 newly announced chipsets namely 653, 626 & 427 will feature with a new X9 LTE modem, supported by Dual cameras & Quick Charge 3.0 too. The X9 LTE will support Cat 7 of downlink speed up to 300 MBps & for uplink Cat 13 speed will be up to 150 MBps. This speed of the X9 LTE modems is considered to be as far as 50% better than the X8 LTE uplink speeds. The speeds of up to 2 x 20 MHz with LTE Advanced Carrier Aggregation in both uplink & downlink will also be supported. Qualcomm his time also focused on Better call clarity & reliability on VoLTE calls by providing a 64-QAM in uplink & company’s Enhanced Voice Services Technology.

Let’s take all the 3 new additions one by one now. The newly announced Snapdragon Chipsets are as listed below:

1) 653 (MSM8976Pro)

2) 626 (MSM8953Pro)

3) 427 (MSM8920)

1. Snapdragon 653: 

Broad Features:

• Snapdragon X9 LTE CAT 7 LTE Modem.
• Display Quad HD, 2560 x 1600, WQXGA.
• GPU Adreno 510.
• CPU 4x Cortex-A72 @ 1.95Hz & 4x Cortex-A53 @ 1.44GHz.
• Up to 10% higher performance.
• 21MP, Dual Camera support.
• RAM Up to 8 GB LPDDR3 @ 933MHz Dual-channel.
• Support for 64-QAM in uplink.

As Qualcomm claims, it is designed to perform 10% better than the 652 which is being replaced with this chipset. The Snapdragon 653 (MSM8976 Pro) is the most powerful chipset from the bundle of all three releases. With achieving a maximum clock speed of 1.95 GHz & supporting up to 8 GB of RAM, better GPU performance & several other highly improved feature adding Enhanced Voice Services making better voice clarity while calling 653 chipsets itself proofs it as the better version from the predecessor 652.

2. Snapdragon 626:

Broad Features:

• Snapdragon X9 LTE CAT 7 LTE Modem.
• Display 1080p, 1900 x 1200, WUXGA.
• GPU Adreno 506.

• Up to 10% higher performance.
• 24MP, Dual Camera support.
• RAM Up to 4 GB LPDDR3 @ 933MHz.
• Qualcomm TruSignal Antenna boost.

Snapdragon 626 chipset is also 10% better in performance in the 600 series when compared with its predecessor i.e. 625. It can be clocked up to 2.2 GHz than  the 625’s speed of 2.0 GHz. This chipset also includes Qualcomm’s TruSignal Antenna Boost which is booster helping in improved signal reception in certain areas.

3. Snapdragon 427:

Beats Pill+: Dare to turn on & Hear Yourself: Since Apple acquired Beats Pill+ is the very first speaker launched which is so gorgeously designed & so resembles from the first look itself. It is topping the list of best sounding Pill ever. With the two-way active stereo system, it creates an optimized sound field within a quiet good range & clarity is so clear & crystal that you will love it. Any good sound listener will  easily judge the Pill+ as an outstanding speaker system which is a good performer when listened at a handful of different tracks, either it is R&B, some Hip-Hop music or Rock music.

Generally, I don’t experiment too much with my choice but this I had to say that this choice is worth it, i.e. Value for money. It is totally different from the predecessors i.e. Pill & Pill 2.0 in every aspect. It is slightly bigger using bigger bass drivers than the earlier models, delivering relatively high-quality sound than any other speaker of this range. But further, in order to reduce the driver size, Neodymium magnets have been used with the drivers.

Let’s go on further for the review on different aspects of Beats Pill+.

Beats Pill+: Dare to turn on & Hear Yourself:

Beats Pill+: Design:

Designed sophisticatedly to deliver Great sound. Its design is so simple & intuitive, as the name resembles ”Pill+” feels like a hand full of Pill throwing away a heartfelt soothing music so magically. Having controls like Play, Pause, Skip tracks, Phone calls controls are just a touch away. Keeping a track on the power levels is so important & with the new fuel gauge, it is made easy to have an eye on the same.

The feeling on the first touch of the speaker is so good & hints that the material used for manufacturing other than basic plastic & the visible outer parts are rubberized.

On the back plugs, it is having a rubber flap that covers the Lightning port, 3.5 mm aux input port & the USB port. So you need not worry about that part, also featuring splash-proofing design makes it more convenient to carry along when going for any adventurous trip.

Beats Pill+: Performance:

As I told you that Pill+ is having a bigger driver than the Pill & Pill 2.0 & also adding that pair of larger drivers in the middle gives it more room, delivering excellent sound clarity. The sound is also widely dispersed & spread that you will not have to think much for a proper placement of the speaker before use.

The Beats Pill+ can also be used as a stereo by synchronizing two Pill+ For delivering dedicated left & right dynamic sound experience.

Power wise it also performs well as A quick 3-hour charge will provide you sufficient battery backup so that you can listen up to 12 hours of Beats musical sound continuously. Making & receiving a call are also very easy & that too with much clarity.

Beats Pill+ not only runs its own music system from the power bank but you can also charge your phone or any other external music device with the Beats Pill+ through the USB cable.

So Overall Beats Pill+ will be a great deal for you all as compared to the earlier releases in the series. I experimented & found it awesome now it’s your turn to choose.

Windows 10: Redstone 2 Update – What We Know So Far: Hopefully Windows will be bringing up the new Redstone 2 update as a major update to Windows 10 in the coming spring. This time, Microsoft most probably is focussing on improvements in the productivity & will also be satisfying the Windows 10 mobile users by making available the most required features & enhancements to them. Although this update was earlier scheduled to be launched by the end this year & was expected to be a smaller update as compared to the relatively large anniversary update. Seemingly the reason to delay the launch of Redstone 2 update is the availability of the new surface hardware release.

Windows 10: Redstone 2 Update – What We Know So Far

The development of Redstone 2 was started before the Redstone 1 internal sign-off as a standard procedure of the company’s engineers. This allows them to be preplanned to deliver on time with the lackings & new features. According to Microsoft the first few Redstone 2 builds will be not including the new features as some work is still ongoing on refactoring OneCore, which is the subsystem that participates to feature it universally across several devices.

The Redstone 2 builds have started rolling out to the insiders for testing & feedbacks though the development branches.

Talking about a new feature in Redstone 2, Microsoft has significantly changed the way they think and brings out somethings new out of Windows. New Feature includes as follow

Working Sets

This feature allows user to see all the project work which include Word, Powerpoint documents in the device in the single place. This also include email, Photos, and other things so a user can have look for all these things while doing a project. Working sets is present in the Start menu as live tiles.

OneClip

OneClip is the same feature which is recently present in macOS as this allow the user to copy photos or text from one device and paste to other as this feature work only between phone and PC so this allows user to have nice integration between phone and PC.

Office Hub

Microsoft Office is one of most famous App for Microsoft and almost million people are using this app to create somethings amazing. But in the new update, Microsoft is working on Office Hub a single integration center for Office Work. As this feature works with Office 365 subscription and the app are tightly integrated into this hub so people can take benefit of smarter work experience.

People Bar
Microsoft is working to bring people more closer to people who most matter to them as them include new People bar in Redstone 2 as this shows people face in the icon and user get notification from that people include Skype, Office, GroupMe or other things as this feature brings integration of social OS in the Windows ecosystem. New People bar is present in the taskbar down next to the system tray.

The user can perform a task from the icon itself as they no need to open the app as this called as Quick Action.

OneDrive File Placeholders

This feature is previously present in OneDrive app but removed in 2015. But this feature will surely return to OneDrive with Redstone 2. Microsoft renamed this feature as “On-demand Sync” As this feature is recently sight in preview builds.

Night Mode

After launching the Night Mode in Apple’s iOS many other OS is starting to feature in their OS following Google’s Android and Now Windows. As this feature lowers the Blue light intensity in the night so this color won’t harm your eyes while using the device. This feature is most cared in other OS like iOS and Android and bringing this feature in Windows will be more awesome.

Bluetooth GATT supports for wearables

GATT wearables are the fitness wearables like Fitbit works with Bluetooth. So Microsoft adds new profile so that user using this wearable can easily connect to windows devices. Microsoft is planning to bring this feature by the end of 2016 but the timeline of Redstone 2 is early 2017. So of this fitness wearable make move to Windows so there may be other changes that other companies will also make their app for Windows ecosystem.

Contextual syncing between devices

Internal Concept

This feature brings another feature to continuum feature as this allow Windows 10 to have contextual UI which means that a pop up a notification telling the user that they are able to sync an apps state from another device and continue exactly where they left off. Cortana will also take benefit of this feature. There are many other possibilities may also come to Windows 10 Ecosystem as a user can sync files, tabs, app and more between devices with contextual pop-ups that require the user to do very little work getting back into a productive state when moving between form factors.

This feature allows an another wave of workflow which user has never experience. Working between the devices will also become easier than ever and a user will also love this feature.

Continuum for Phones

Continuum feature of Windows has become on of the best feature while swapping between different devices. But Microsoft so has more plans for this feature as they will make Continuum interface more like Windows environment.
