Sony Reveal PS5 Release Date

The PS5 is definitely coming to living rooms around the world, Sony confirmed as they revealed a successor to the PS4 will be released.PlayStation exec Shawn Layden confirmed that Sony will release a PS5 during an interview with a German website.

It had been rumoured that Sony might move away from the typical console release model and instead have regular hardware updates like smartphones.

The mid-generation update of the PS4 with the PS4 Pro was seen by some as a sign of things to come.

However, Layden has come out to dispel those rumours – telling tech website Golem that a PS5 “is coming”.

However, he said it will “probably be some time” before a PlayStation 5 is released.

The comments from Layden come soon after one industry expert claimed Sony were getting ready to release a PS5 as early as 2018.

Damian Thong had told The Wall Street Journal that Sony’s next numbered addition to the PlayStation line-up could release in the second half of 2018.

It may seem far-fetched for Sony to announced a PS5 while the PS4 is still doing so well for sales.

The PS4 has also only been out for just coming up to four years, and the PS3 was seven years old when it was replaced by the PlayStation 4.However, there are is one important thing to bear in mind.

Thong has a track record of his PlayStation predictions coming true.

He correctly predicted that Sony would launch a PS4 Slim and a PS4 Pro (which he called PS4 4K) a few MONTHS before the consoles were announced.

If Sony were planning to release a PS5 in 2018, you would expect them to announce the console during the remainder of 2017.

There are a number of big events coming up in the gaming calendar where Sony could announce the PS5.

These events are the Tokyo Game Show in September and December’s PlayStation experience.

Moto G5 Plus Unboxing

Hi Friends!

Today we are going to be unboxing the Moto G5 Plus.

It is a well rounded smartphone in the below Rs.20k budget range, with a metal body and really great build quality. Its lunar grey variant looks great as it complements the metallic finish of the device. It does not skimp on most of the sensors and includes the gyroscope, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor and accelerometer. Unfortunately , it seems that it does not have a compass. It does compensate with supported A-GPS and Glonass. NFC and OTG support are a real plus. USB type C would’ve been fantastic (its got micro USB), but it does support Fast charging :P.   

Launched in Feburary 2017. 

Its specifications are:

  • 5.2″ 1080p Display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
  • 4G VoLTE with dual sim support (Both SIM slots are 4G enabled).
  • Android 7.0 Nougat, 32GB/64GB Int, 3GB/4GB RAM .
  • Snapdragon 625 Octa-core chipset with Adreno 506.
  • 3000 mAh Li-ion Battery.
  • Price Rs.17000/- (32GB/4GB version).
  • 12Mp f1.7 Rear Camera/ 5Mp f2.2 Front Camera.

This is the box the smartphone comes in. 

The first thing in the box is the mobile unit itself. It comes with a screen layer which indicates its features

 

and the fingerprint scanner is at the bottom.

 

 

The other accessories inside the box are the earphones with the inline mic and the micro-USB cable.

 

The earphones included in the box are made of plastic which feels cheap..I strongly recommend using good quality earphones for the long run.

Motorola has also included a really cool looking SIM ejector tool into the box.

 

The Turbo charger looks beautiful with its glossy back

And for those who are interested here are the charger specs

P.S.

The Turbo Charging is ridiculous.. it charged the phone from 36% upto 98% in just 50mins.

Also the earphones fit smugly in the ears and the audio is great..however the stock earphones are uncomfortable to wear for the *long run.

 

P.S. Update.. turns out.. I was wearing them in opposite ears (left earphone in right ea

AT&T begins rolling out June security patch to Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Security is not a product but a process…

The month of June is almost coming to a close and AT&T has just managed to slot in the June security patch to the Galaxy Note 4. The update arrives as software version N910AUCS2EQF1 and is being seeded over the air. Your device will need to be on software version N910AUCS2EQE1 to receive this update. Though the Note 4 was left out of the Nougat update, Samsung has been keeping it healthy with security patches.

This update installs the latest security patch on your Note 4 ensuring that it stays safe from the hands of hackers, malware and viruses. The update also patches up newly found vulnerabilities in the system. Things like the Wannacry bug and so on are dealt with using security patches, so it is always a good thing to update your smartphone.

 

The update isn’t that big in size, weighing in less than 30MB on both the devices, but we suggest you to download over WiFi just to be on the safe side. Before installing the update, ensure that your important data, files, music, photos etc. are backed up safely in your PC. Again this is just as a safety precaution.

If you haven’t received the update notification on your Note 4 or Note Edge yet, you can try looking in Settings » About » Software update. It usually takes a while to fully dispatch an OTA update so you may need to wait. 4

Sega To Release All Their Games For Free On Android and iOs

Good news to all SEGA fans and retro gamers. Every SEGA game ever made is coming to iOS and Android, and it’s free-to-play. SEGA has just announced SEGA Forever, which will offer games released for every console era—Master System, Genesis/Mega Drive, Dreamcast and more—via smartphone or tablet.

SEGA Forever will launch this week on iOS and Android for free. Some of the titles that are expected to be released are Mega Drive games Altered Beast,Comix Zone, Kid Chameleon, Phantasy Star II, and Sonic The Hedgehog. According toMetro UK, these games will be playable offline and has modern features such as cloud saves, online leaderboards, and Bluetooth controller support.

SEGA plans to release a new game every two weeks, until eventually incorporating titles from every SEGA console from the SG-1000 through to the Dreamcast. Behind the SEGA Forever concept is Chief Marketing Officer Mike Evans who shares that he also has plans of including previous unreleased games in the West such as Dreamcast game Segagaga, andGirl’s Garden, the first game from Yuji Naka.

“We’ve never before done something that really crosses all of the different gaming eras, and isn’t prejudice against someone because they grew up in the ’80s versus the ’90s. And so what we’re trying to do is look at how we can take content that spans two decades and make it all available in the same place,” Evans tellsMetro UK.

The only setback is that the SEGA games were designed to work on a proper controller and not on a touchscreen. To this, Evans says that they are trying to get the experience as good as possible, but for those who don’t want to play on a touchscreen, players can buy a cheap Bluetooth controller, which can even be set up on the TV.

Unfortunately, there will be no added difficulty levels or aids, other than lowering the difficulty within the game itself. This is because the SEGA team prefers to keep the games faithful to the original.

“We haven’t gone in and changed the original ROM itself, we’ve kept them as faithful emulations. Which was important in making this project work commercially,” Evans explains.

Since the games are free, the way that SEGA will profit is through short adverts that would play before the start of a game. According to Metro UK, there are plans in the future for a subscription service, where there would be no need to wait for the ads to play out. For now, there is an option to pay £1.99 for each game to get rid of the ads.

Meanwhile, Eurogamer was able to try some of the games on both Android and iPhone. According to the popular gaming blog site, although the ads didn’t seem at all intrusive, the appeal for use of a physical controller is definitely there. SEGA is also reported to be working on native apps for the Apple TV and Android TV.

Senheiser Develop $55,000 Headphones

Senheiser is one of the most popular audio brands and the company grabbed many headlines around the world when it came up with new version of its Orpheus range of premium headphones two years ago (mostly because of the $55,000 price tag). On Thursday, the company launched the successor to Orpheus, new Sennheiser HE 1, headphones in India. If you want to put your hand to your heart for the price, now is the time to do so, as the company has priced the headphones at Rs. 45 lakhs for the country and will be made available from May 27.

If you are wondering why these headphones cost as much as a house does, it could potentially be because the company says that just the development of these headphones took around a decade. As per company’s claims, the new HE 1 premium headphones offer “a frequency response that extends beyond the range of human hearing and the lowest total harmonic distortion that has ever been measured in an audio reproduction system.”

In order to achieve improved sound, the new Sennheiser HE 1 headphones use a tube amplifier. The amplifier comes with eight vacuum tubes that are used to process the incoming signal. The company claims that the use of tube amplifiers is because of their superior impulse processing. However, as the tubes are sensitive to air-borne-noise, the company says that it crafted amplifier housing from granular, inhomogeneous Carrara marble and says that it is freely suspended with the amplifier.

“The decoupling of the tubes in combination with the damping properties of the marble has the effect of reducing structure-borne noise to an absolute minimum. The tubes themselves also have a high-quality patent-pending enclosure consisting of quartz-glass bulbs that perfectly shield them from their surroundings,” the company said in its release. The tube amplifier is coupled with a ultra-high impulse amplifier stage integrated into the earcups.

“The headphones use a completely new amplifier concept that combines the superior impulse processing of a tube amplifier with the low distortion of a transistor amplifier to perfection,” said CEO Andreas Sennheiser. The company is also touting gold-vaporised ceramic electrodes and platinum-vaporised diaphragms for better acoustic output. Another highlight is a frequency response from 8Hz to 100KHz.

Commenting on the launch, Kapil Gulati, Director Consumer Segment said “We are very thrilled to have launched the world’s finest headphones, now in India. India has emerged as one of the biggest and fastest growing markets in the audiophile industry and with the launch of these headphones we have managed to set a new benchmark yet again. We at Sennheiser always thrive for excellence and are reshaping the future of high-end audio world in pursuit of perfect sound.”

Handy Utility Apps

Here are some apps, that I use a lot and find really handy in day to day proceedings.

Sectograph:

Ever feel bored scrolling through your schedule and have trouble keeping the clock in sync with your activities. Well here you go.. this is sectograph it is a personal clock come schedule display. It syncs with a calendar app and even with your Gmail account. So you don’t have to worry about updating your schedule two times. Displaying both time and the upcoming activity is really handy.

 

 

Night Owl:

If you are a night owl, this app is for you. Studies have shown that blue light tricks the brain into staying awake which may cause Insomnia i.e. not be able to sleep at night. This app locks out the blue light allowing you to use your phone without interfering with your sleep pattern. It can also be configured to filter other colours, but the default is blue. Unfortunately this app cannot have allow you to sleep 7 hours of sleep in 4 hours.

Daylio:

Ever feel the need to keep track of day to day stuff, but can not write much about it or are just lazy like me xD…well Daylio is for you. This is not just another Diary app. This allows you to mark your mood for each time of the day and what activities you were doing. Activities are represented by Icons. They can be edited if,the need arises. Also the app is password protected by a 4 digit pin and can be backed up to Google drive. The best part is your mood can be reviewed as per week, month or Year. Now, a diary entry is just a few taps away!

Google Keep:

If I were to say that Google Keep is just another notes app, I would be so wrong. Well actually, no, it’s just a really convenient one at that. Its convenience stems from it being a Google app, so it can be synced from different devices in real time (almost.. I had to refresh it in order to sync).

The notes can be archived, labelled and even colored in order to differentiate them better. You can also store pictures and sound recordings on the app and even drawings (i.e. the pen icon). The smaller widget lacks the feature of displaying the notes, but is really efficient in terms of space. However, the larger widget is better for usage but it takes up a lot of space in order for the user to be able to even read the notes effectively.

P.S>

F.Y.I. This review was written with the help of this very app :P.

That was all! Hope you find this review helpful 😀
