The Bigger, The Better: Phablets To Put Your Phone To Shame

No comments

Monday, August 21, 2017

Technology moves fast. For testament of the fact, we need only look at our phones. Not so long ago, small was the name of the game. While flip phones now look like they belong in museums, they were bang on trend as little as a few years ago.

Now, though, big phones are...well, big! Phones with large screens, also known as phablets, are ever increasing in popularity. For those of us still trundling along with smaller counterparts, the trend remains a mystery. Why would you want a phone the six of a tablet in your pocket? It’s not exactly practical.

But, practicality may not be on the forefront of all our minds. Instead of just using phones for calls and texts, we use them for all sorts of things. From watching television to taking photos, it all comes down to our phones. As such, big screens may not be such a bad thing. And, to show you why, we’re going to look at three big phones which offer very different benefits.

Galaxy S8+

The Bigger, The Better: Phablets To Put Your Phone To Shame
It’s impossible to talk about big phones without mentioning the Galaxy S8+. Coming in at $850, this is the most expensive on our list. But, with a 6.2-inch screen, this is the largest phone on the market. A large phone like this isn’t going to work for everyone. If you want something smaller, the Galaxy S8 offers the same features, but with a display of 5.8 inches. But, if you want to stream your favorite shows, this could be the phone for you. Imagine how good wildlife shows or anime programs would look on one of these! As if you need more convincing, this is also the first phone to be HDR certified. You’ll struggle to find this level of quality, even in your television! So, for the streamers out there, the S8+ is a must.

LG V20

For a more modest $799, you could bag yourself an LG V20. At 5.7 inches, the screen is a fair bit smaller. But, this is still one of the largest on the market, with the average screen size in phablets reaching 5.5. This phone packs a fair bit of difference and is ideal for those who want a phone for both business and pleasure. Most iconic is the two-screen feature, which will help you keep work and play separate. This option also boasts of a removable battery, a hard to come by phenomenon these days!

iPhone 7 Plus

Who would’ve thought an iPhone would come bottom of the price list? Well, at $769, the iPhone 7 Plus is at the bottom of ours. The screen on this baby is the smallest we’re mentioning, at the more standard 5.5 inches. But, what sets this phone apart is its camera capabilities. The dual camera on the back is what everyone’s talking about. It allows you to achieve top-quality photographs with a variety of effects you’d fail to find in other phones. For the keen photographers among you, it doesn’t get better.

Wi-Fi Battery Monitor: Internet-Based Smartphone Battery Monitoring Is Here

Wi-Fi Battery Monitor: Internet-Based Smartphone Battery Monitoring Is Here If you've ever gone out to your car in the morning only to find that it won't start, you know why a Wi-Fi battery monitor system is a great invention. A Wi-Fi battery monitor connects to the internet via your Wi-Fi network and provides battery status alerts to your iOS or Android smartphone anywhere in the world.

We've learned over the years that the information provided through the internet is invaluable. You can get flight alerts, stock alerts, bank account alerts, and more that can save you from inconvenient or even disastrous situations.

Until now, the first indication you would have that there is a problem with your battery is when you tried to start your vehicle or use the battery for some other function. With the advent of a Wi-Fi battery monitor, you can not only check the status of your battery, it will send alerts to your smartphone to let you know when there is a problem.

Beyond the convenience of knowing that there is a problem with your car battery, the other applications are nearly endless. Contractors that depend on their equipment for their livelihood, corporations and municipalities that depend on backup battery power for computers, emergency lighting, and other key functions, and companies or individuals who maintain remote stations for a variety of crucial functions can all benefit from staying informed on battery status.

These new monitors couldn't be easier to use. Simply connect the monitor to your battery using existing or supplied cables, connect to your Wi-Fi network just like with your smartphone or computer, install a simple app on your smartphone, and configure the app with the alerts you want. That's all there is to it.

From that moment on, whenever the device detects a configured alert scenario and is in range of your Wi-Fi network, it will send an alert to your smartphone. Alert scenario examples include a vehicle light was left on and is draining the battery, average voltage is low over a period of time, battery should be checked for effectiveness, and many more.

The user-friendly app is designed to be used on either iOS or Android smartphones and allows you to manage multiple Wi-Fi battery monitors, check the status of your battery from anywhere in the world, and even control compatible battery chargers from your smartphone.

The best wireless battery monitors use a standard for battery monitoring communication known as Connected Power. Connected Power is a set of tools, hardware, and cloud-based infrastructure that allows manufacturers to easily add Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to batteries and battery accessories.

Wi-Fi battery monitoring is being hailed as the next step in the evolution of batteries and it's easy to look forward to a time when battery monitoring will be integrated into the batteries themselves.

A wireless battery monitor is the convenient way to make sure your car battery is functioning properly and will always be available when you need it.

If you have a critical function that depends on a battery for its functionality or as a backup, a Wi-Fi battery monitor is the modern way to stay informed about the status of your battery.

Smartphone Care 101

No comments

Thursday, April 20, 2017

We all might like to upgrade our smartphone from time to time. But with the increases in technology and software, the phones themselves are costing more and more. So it either means more money upfront to buy it (and having enough time pass to justify paying out for another one). Or it means getting a long contract for the phone, meaning that you won’t have the chance of upgrading until around the two-year mark. Both of these are fine, but in that time, a lot can happen. How many of us have been able to keep a phone intact and working before the upgrade time is due? If you’re one of the people that would be answering ‘not me’ to that last question, then read on. Here are some of the best ways to care for your smartphone.

Smartphone Care 101

What Do You Use Your Phone For?

Knowing what you mainly use your phone for, will help you to first of all, get the best phone for you. If you practically work from your phone, then you’ll need a phone that has a ton of data. If you don’t, not only will you find it frustrating, but it will also stop the effectiveness of the phone? You don’t want to be missing out on emails and messages just because your phone didn’t have enough space to receive them. So that is an important first point. Think of your phone as a productivity tool, and it will help much more.

Think About Back Up

If your phone was to get damaged, would it be that your life, both personal and business, would come to a standstill? If so, then you need to think about ways to backup your data from your phone. Using the cloud is the best option for most people. There is an article is on digitaltrends.com about backing up your phone to your laptop, so that could be worth a look. Just make sure that you have something in place.

Protect It

Phone cases aren’t just for making it look pretty (though that does double up as an added benefit). So make sure that you have something to help protect your screen and the phone itself. A screen protector is a great way to take care of your phone, and it doesn’t affect the quality or condition of the screen. Otherwise, you’ll have to take time out to get your phone screen repaired. If you looked somewhere like baltimorecellphonerepair.com, you can see just how much it might cost, and how long it would take. Can you really afford that?

Your smartphone is more than likely a massive part of your life and work. So taking care of it will mean things can run smoothly. Choose one for its capability, not just for its technical specifications. Using a zip-lock back over the phone can help when you’re out and about, as well as what has been mentioned above. If your phone is at the center of your life, then it needs to be treated with care and respect.
