Sony Tipped to Unveil 5 Xperia Smartphones at MWC 2017 Next Month

Earlier this month, Sony was suggested to announce two new Xperia smartphones at MWC 2017 in Barcelona next month. However, now a new leak suggests that the Japan-based Tech Giant is planning to announce five, not two, new Xperia smartphones. There is a good chance that this might be the company's smartphone lineup for the entire year with release dates till December but it still comes across as a surprising strategy from the company.

      The leak does not provide official names for the alleged Xperia smartphones but comparisons with current lineup can still be drawn on the basis of the specifications that have been suggested,

   As per the leak, the alleged flagship Xperia smartphone (codenamed 'Yoshino') sports a 5.5-inch 4K (2160x3840 pixels) display and runs on Snapdragon 835 SoC. The smartphone, which is believed to be Xperia XZ's successor, is expected to pack 4GB/ 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM and a Sony IMX400 sensor-based camera.

The second smartphone, codenamed 'BlancBright', seems like a coin-toss at this moment as the phone is expected to feature either Snapdragon 835 or Snapdragon 635 processor. However, the phone is suggested to sport a 5.5-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixels) display and pack 4GB of RAM. This phone has also been tipped to come with same IMX400 camera sensor as the one on Yoshino. The device might be following the footsteps of Xperia X2 Performance in the lineup.

      The smartphones codenamed 'Keyaki' and 'Hinoki', which are expected to be mid-range devices in the lineup, are expected to be powered by a MediaTek Helio P20 processor.

      The device codenamed Keyaki has been tipped to sport a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display and pack 4GB of RAM. The phone has been suggested to come with 64GB of built-in storage. In terms of optics Keyaki is expected to sport a 16-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel camera at front.

On the other hand, Hinoki is expected to come with a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display and pack 3GB of RAM. The device is expected to come with 32GB of inbuilt storage. In the camera department, the phone is expected to feature a 16-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel camera at front just like Keyaki.

       The last smartphone in the lineup has been codenamed 'Mineo' and is expected to carry a price tag of around $350 (roughly Rs. 23,800). Apart from the expected price tag, other details regarding the phone has not shared yet.

India vs England, 3rd T20I: nerves in business end of the match will come up trumps

Hello guys today is the last T20 match between India Vs England.we all know that the series is at 1-1 equal position.We saw the 2nd T20 match was nerve holding till the last ball.so today we can predict that we will see once again a thrilling encounter between India VS England.

       As of now India won a four match Test series by 4-0.after that clinched the three ODI series by winning first two games.England on the other hand breathed life into the tour by winning the 3rd ODI and first T20.

      Captain Kholi will perhaps feel perfectly at home at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy stadium and can except the loudest cheer from the crowd.Indian pace department flourished in the second T20 with Ashish Nehra and Jasprit Bumrah doing a terrific job to defend a lowly 144 score.the overall bowling combination is one that the Indians will have to ponder over.Kholi gave preference to his spinners over medium pacers in the second T20,with veteran leg-spinner Amit Mishra getting some returns in the form of an economical spell and the crucial wicket of England skipper Eoin Morgan.Mishra thus is likey to get the call-up in Bengaluru as well as will Yuzvendra Chahal,another one of the RCB personnel in the Indian T20 side, whose knowledge of the conditions will come in handy for the team.

            For England ,who were left seething with anger at the end of the second T20 after a couple of umpiring howlers,the final T20 presents itself as an opportunity to win at least one trophy in what has been an outright disappointing tour for them so far,with their performances getting better in the limited-overs legs of the tour. 

Squads:

India: Virat Kohli (c), Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chalal, MS Dhoni (wk), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mandeep Singh, Amit Mishra, Ashish Nehra, Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Pervez Rasool, KL Rahul, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh.

Seagate Is Planning To Launch 16 TB Hard Drive Next Year

Currently Seagate reached 10 TB, but Seagate believes they will squish even more into the space and has pledged to keep the pressure up on rivals like HGST,who continue to squeeze more and more data onto the traditional magnetic platters.

    Seagate is getting the extra capacity through the use of helium,which makes the drives more able to cope with staying on track to the platter.

         After releasing its 10TB BarraCuda Pro Hard Drive, last year as part of its Guardian Series that's targeted at home use, Seagate is now planning to release a 16TB HDD next year. The company is expected to launch its high-capacity hard disk drive within the next 18 months.

       The 16TB drive will be a standard 3.5-inch SATA drive and will be Helium-filled much like some of the other drives released by Seagate itself and Western Digital in last two years,Apart from the 16TB drive, the company is also testing a 12TB drive, the company's CEO Stephen Luczo told to Geek.com. Luczo says that the initial response to the drive has been positive.

         As per the report, there is a third Seagate 14TB drive in works as well. Just like the 16TB drive, the 12TB and 14TB hard drives will also be filled with Helium. Helium is used to reduce drag and friction between the spinning hard drive platters and the read/write heads that float above them, allowing for denser platters and lower power consumption.

        The 10TB hard drive, which was released last year by Seagate, was priced at $535 (roughly Rs. 36,350) by the company and therefore the price of 16TB HDD will, in all likelihood, be higher. However, we will have to wait for the official announcement by the company for specific details about pricing as well as availability.

Even though prices for SSDs have come down considerably in last few years, there are still users who prefer hard disk drives and are likely to rejoice the high-capacity storage drive when it is finally announced by Seagate.

Microsoft: Sales of Hololens are in the thousands

Hello Guys today i am going to tell you about augmented reality goggles which comes from the very famous Microsoft called Hololens.this is the most ambitious product created by the man  name Alex Kipman.The Brazil born alex introduces this product in 2015.the Hololens overlay virtual 3D images on what you're seeing in the real world.

Speaking to CNET the father of HoloLens Alex recently says that Hololens will get "more,realistic,awesome,intelligent,delicious"but not cheaper any time soon.

A Microsoft representative recently revealed that only “thousands” of HoloLens headsets were sold, and Alex confirmed that Microsoft was focusing on enterprise customers, not consumers,

At the Education technology conference BETT in United Kingdom Roger Walkden from the HoloLens team revealed, that sales of the headset are so far in the ‘thousands’, insisting that’s all the company needs.

"We're not trying to sell hundreds of thousands or millions or anything, it's expensive, and it's not in huge numbers. So we're happy with the level of sales that we've got - I can't tell you anything about the numbers, but it's in thousands, not hundreds of thousands, and that's fine. That's all we need," he said.

Asked about future plans of waiting the production costs to lower, Walkden assured that HoloLens is currently in its version one and the VR market is new. “There’s a roadmap we’re following. For now this is the only device we need in order to get people started on their journey.”

The price for Hololens Development Kit that only developers can buy is about $3,000 while the commerical suite for $5000.

It also remains to be seen if Microsoft will ever really come out with a consumer-focused AR headset.It may end up pushing some of this technology through its partner manufactures as the company has hinted in the past that some of its partners could create their own affordable versions of the Hololens.

 

India Vs England 2nd T20 #2017:A must win game for India

  

Virat Kohli’s captaincy stint in Twenty20 Internationals got off to a bad start as England defeated India by seven wickets in the first match in Kanpur. Will the home team bounce back or will Eoin Morgan’s side seal an unlikely series win in Nagpur?

A warm welcome to the second T20I between India and England from Nagpur. Settle down, folks.

Heading into the T20I match between India and England, the authorities are taking no chances when it comes to crowd management. The gates were opened for the fans as early as 3pm on Sunday for the 7pm start of the T20 match. The move resulted in better crowd management. As soon as the gates opened, nearly 25 per cent of the seats were filled up in quick time.

The authorities had a tough time during the last match featuring the hosts at this venue, which was the World T20 opener between against New Zealand last year — when the fans had to queue up for over four hours to get inside the ground

India were tied down by some disciplined bowling from England in Kanpur as their batsmen failed to go for the big shots. Heading into the Nagpur match, the team will have to pull their socks up in the batting. However, the Jamtha venue has not been kind to the hosts.

In two T20Is that they have played here, India have lost both. A loss on Sunday will result in a series loss. The last time they lost a T20I series at home was against South Africa in October 2015.

England, on the other hand, continue their wonderful record in India. They have won three out of four T20Is against India at home and Morgan’s team is on the cusp of a series win. The England skipper led from the front with a magnificent fifty and along with Joe Root, steered the team to safety. With the top order being in good form, the visitors will be aiming to end the tour on a high after the disappointment of the Test and ODI series.
