Big battery? : YES
Last for 15 days? : NO. Pure gimmicks.

I will only take claims from these Chinese companies with a pinch of salt. If a 3,000mah battery can last a full day, then how can a 10,000mah battery last for 15 days? Shey dem think say we be mumu. We have seen 2,500mah phones that even last more than 3,000mah. Practically if 3,000mah can last a full day, then 10,000mah should last 3 and half days. But in practical I will be surprised if it can last a full 3 days of moderate to heavy usage unless the owner just dey use am receive and make calls. OK it has a 5.5 inch 720p screen, that's low specs and the phone will probably last 5 days tops. But 15 days? That's impossible. We are not even sure if its a true 10,000mah battery. Unlike top phone makers like apple, Samsung , HTC etc that have their phones go through FCC and other regulatory bodies before they are released, these Chinese companies just release phones and for all I care they can include a 4,000mah battery and call it 10,000mah. Same with all those stupid powwrbanks wey full market.
Yea you made a point bro all these china companies are not to be trusted because most of their products are prototype and made from samples they don't build from the scratch.

A mobile phone that could actually last for about 15 days? please forget about Tecno L5 and say Hello to Oukitel K10000.

This is what most Nigerians really want long battery life and with high functionality, i am very sure this is what Nigerians really want, now Oukitel K10000 is really here you don’t have to miss it make your researches about it.

Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to find smartphones with at least a 2,500mAh or 3,000mAh battery pack inside, but even the largest smartphone battery packs are considerably lower in capacity than the 10,000mAh battery inside Oukitel’s upcoming smartphone. Even the Gionee Marathon M5, which includes a 6,020mAh battery, pales by comparison.

Following the teasers published before the summer, Oukitel has released the final specs for the phone, and a pre-order campaign for the device has launched through import site GearBest. Aside from the monster battery, the K10000 isn’t the highest spec device you’ll see. It has a big 5.5-inch display, but the resolution is only 720p, and the processor is a quad-core MediaTek chip running at 1GHz with 2GB of RAM. The rear camera has 13 megapixels, and the selfie cam 5 megapixels.

oukitel-k10000-front-side-970x546-c

However, the K10000 is all about that gigantic battery. Oukitel says it’ll last for between 10 and 15 days of normal use, and has a clever reverse charge function where it can be used to power up other devices, a feature we’ve seen on Huawei devices in the past. Oukitel says it’ll charge an iPhone 6 Plus three times, and still have 10-percent power left over. If you’re worried the phone itself will take most of the day to recharge, a fast-charge system will take the battery to 100-percent in about three-and-a-half hours.

Wrapped in a steel frame, the phone runs Android 5.1 Lollipop, has 16GB of internal memory, a MicroSD card slot, and 4G LTE connectivity. Online retailer GearBest has the phone up for pre-order, where it’s priced at $240 unlocked, and shipping expected to start on January 2.

Bulkier than an Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy

Oukitel isn’t the first company to address the slow rate at which battery technology is advancing by packing a massive battery into a phone. The phone isn’t too thick at 9mm or heavy at 185 grams, especially when considering that it holds a 10,000mAh battery; but it’s certainly bulkier than most flagship phones. Until battery tech improves, smartphone manufacturers are limited to small batteries if they want to make slim devices.

However, that doesn’t mean companies aren’t trying to make better batteries. Back in April, scientists at Stanford University developed an aluminum battery that can charge from zero to full in as little as a minute. In addition, it was also reported in April that Google X, Google’s secret internal development team, is working on increasing battery efficiency and storage capacity. Google didn’t confirm the report, but it did mention the firm teamed up with the likes of Apple, Tesla, and others.

This mobile phone is said to have a jaw-breaking 10,ooo mAh battery and a fast charge capacity, right now the phone is not yet in Nigeria but it sells for $240 which is eqaul to N62,400 [N160 per dollar}

Health / How Social Media Like Fb And Twitter Are Affecting You By Making You Lonely by cyberwaver(m): 11:28pm On Dec 13, 2015
Social Media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, and the rest of them have really made many people socially isolated. Today we are going to learn see “how social media can affect your social life and make you lonely”.

Social Media has much advantages and importance in the society today where it helps in easy communications, business promotion, podcasting, lecturing and many other things you could think of, Social media plays an important role in online marketing for business promotion which is a must for every serious business owners to have a social media account and me active on it in order to reach more buyers or partners to create more leads, social media such as Facebook has grown into a certain stage that nearly everyone above 14 years old in Nigeria has a Facebook accounts and millions of Nigerian Facebook users are active on it everyday and they do so to gain more friends and somehow keep themselves busy. Now back to our topic, ”To Every Advantage there is Disadvantage” This quoted text occurs to everything in the world, you would be thinking that how can social media have disadvantages? Yes Social Media poses great disadvantages to mostly Nigerians Teenagers and Youths mainly those that are not yet married and one thing social media takes from you is your “Social Life”, your social interaction with your friends, relatives and many others, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp takes most our time and they are the first applications we check whenever we woke up from bed, Most Teenagers are addicted to social media and one thing they failed to forget is social media takes most their time, I can definitely remember when I used to be active on social media for good 18 hours every day and am quite sure others like me then stays more than that, what we derive then was the fun chatting with friends and laughing over meaningless stuffs and I didn’t know that it takes most of my time to talk with my friends physically and have fun engaging my body which seems good.

According to science, Loneliness can trigger self-suicidal ideation in young people and can affect their total well-being, a practical example, you will notice that when you are busy chatting on social media like Facebook you will stay in one position for a long time like laying down on your couch or bed on sitting down so as to concentrate but this is not good for health which can easily cause mental disorder and cause health problem by generating white blood cells which are not good for health . Social Media are taking the precious time we have to do other things to chats with our friends which might not be important. You would say there are some groups and communities on social media network that someone can join and will not feel lonely, it is true but I know you know that there is a huge difference between physical interaction and online interaction because physical interactions requires your body movement and makes you move from one place to make the interaction more fun while online interaction involves you typing after sending the receiver might reply you if so willing and it sometimes delayed which creates loneliness if the receiver at the other end wish not to reply you.

Safety Measures: We advise you to limit the time you spend with your smartphone and create room for physical interaction with your friends the more to reduce loneliness and increase your health stability status because when you have fun and you smile, laugh during the process you will age well not when you always make your face squeezed all the time how do you think you will age answer the question yourself.

Webmasters / Re: 10 Tactics To Increase Blog Traffic by cyberwaver(m): 9:00pm On Dec 11, 2015
Dgrea8t:
I launched a personal blog late last year and was amazed to see how quickly it gained thousands of visits to each post. There's an art to increasing a blog's traffic, and given that we seem to have stumbled on some of that knowledge, I felt it compulsory to give back by sharing what we've observed.
This post is intended to be useful to all forms of bloggers - independent folks, those seeking to monetize, and marketing professionals working an in-house blog from tiny startups to huge companies. Not all of the tactics will work for everyone, but at least some of these should be applicable and useful.
#1 - Target Your Content to an Audience Likely to Share
When strategizing about who you're writing for, consider that audience's ability to help spread the word. Some readers will naturally be more or less active in evangelizing the work you do, but particular communities, topics, writing styles and content types regularly play better than others on the web. For example, great infographics that strike a chord ( like this one), beautiful videos that tell a story (like this one) and remarkable collections of facts that challenge common assumptions (like this one) are all targeted at audiences likely to share (geeks with facial hair, those interested in weight loss and those with political thoughts about macroeconomics respectively).
Targeting blog content at less-share-likely groups may not be a terrible decision (particularly if that's where you passion or your target audience lies), but it will decrease the propensity for your blog's work to spread like wildfire across the web.
#2 - Participate in the Communities Where Your Audience Already Gathers
Advertisers on Nairaland have spent little amount researching and determining where consumers with various characteristics gather and what they spend their time doing so they can better target their messages. They do it because reaching a group of 65+ year old women with commercials for extreme sports equipment is known to be a waste of money, while reaching an 18-30 year old male demographic that attends rock-climbing gyms is likely to have a much higher ROI.
Thankfully, you don't need to spend a dime to figure out where a large portion of your audience can be found on the web. In fact, you probably already know a few blogs, forums, websites and social media communities where discussions and content are being posted on your topic (and if you don't a Google search will take you much of the way). From that list, you can do some easy expansion using a web-based tool like Google's Display Planner.
Once you've determined the communities where your soon-to-be-readers gather, you can start participating. Create an account, read what others have written and don't jump in the conversation until you've got a good feel for what's appropriate and what's not. I've written a post here about rules for comment marketing, and all of them apply. Be a good web citizen and you'll be rewarded with traffic, trust and fans. Link-drop, spam or troll and you'll get a quick boot, or worse, a reputation as a blogger no one wants to associate with.
#3 - Make Your Blog's Content SEO-Friendly
Search engines are a massive opportunity for traffic, yet many bloggers ignore this channel for a variety of reasons that usually have more to do with fear and misunderstanding than true problems. As I've written before, " SEO, when done right, should never interfere with great writing." In 2014, Google will see over 6 billion daily searches from around the world, and that number is only growing:
Taking advantage of this massive traffic opportunity is of tremendous value to bloggers, who often find that much of the business side of blogging, from inquiries for advertising to guest posting opportunities to press and discovery by major media entities comes via search.
SEO for blogs is both simple and easy to set up, particularly if you're using an SEO-friendly platform like Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla. Information on how to execute on great SEO for blogs would be posted later. But you can check out the following resources:
* Blogger's Guide to SEO (from SEOBook)
* The Beginner's Guide to SEO (from Moz)
* Wordpress Blog SEO Tutorial (from Yoast)
* SEO for Travel Bloggers (but applicable to nearly any type of blog - from Moz)
Don't let bad press or poor experiences with spammers (spam is not SEO) taint the amazing power and valuable contributions SEO can make to your blog's traffic and overall success. 20% of the effort and tactics to make your content optimized for search engines will yield 80% of the value possible; embrace it and thousands of visitors seeking exactly what you've posted will be the reward.
#4 - Use Twitter, Facebook and Google+ to Share Your Posts & Find New Connections
Twitter has 271 million active users every month. Facebook has over 1 billion active users. Google+ has over 300 million. LinkedIn is over 300 million. Together, these networks are attracting vast amounts of time and interest from Internet users around the world, and those that participate on these services fit into the "content distributors" description above, meaning they're likely to help spread the word about your blog.
Leveraging these networks to attract traffic requires patience, study, attention to changes by the social sites and consideration in what content to share and how to do it. My advice is to use the following process:
* If you haven't already, register a personal account and a brand account at each of the following - Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn (those links will take you directly to the registration pages for brand pages). For example, my friend Dharmesh has a personal account for Twitter and a brand account for OnStartups (one of his blog projects). He also maintains brand pages on Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+.
* Fill out each of those profiles to the fullest possible extent - use photos, write compelling descriptions and make each one as useful and credible as possible. Research shows that profiles with more information have a significant correlation with more successful accounts (and there's a lot of common sense here, too, given that spammy profiles frequently feature little to no profile work).
* Connect with users on those sites with whom you already share personal or professional relationships, and start following industry luminaries, influencers and connectors. Services like Whatsapp, Nairaland, Google+, Twitter, Linked in, Facebook and Instagram.
* Start sharing content - your own blog posts, those of peers in your industry who've impressed you and anything that you feel has a chance to go "viral" and earn sharing from others.
* Interact with the community - use hash tags, searches and those you follow to find interesting conversations and content and jump in! Social networks are amazing environment for building a brand, familiarizing yourself with a topic and the people around it, and earning the trust of others through high quality, authentic participation and sharing.
If you consistently employ a strategy of participation, share great stuff and make a positive, memorable impression on those who see your interactions on these sites, your followers and fans will grow and your ability to drive traffic back to your blog by sharing content will be tremendous. For many bloggers, social media is the single largest source of traffic, particularly in the early months after launch, when SEO is a less consistent driver.
#5 - Install Analytics and Pay Attention to the Results
At the very least, I'd recommend most bloggers install Google Analytics (which is free), and watch to see where visits originate, which sources drive quality traffic and what others might be saying about you and your content when they link over.
There's all sorts of great insights to be gleaned by looking at where visits originate, analyzing how they were earned and trying to repeat the successes, focus on the high quality and high traffic sources and put less effort into marketing paths that may not be effective. In this example, it's pretty clear that Facebook and Twitter are both excellent channels. Nairaland and whatsapp sends a lot of traffic, but they don't stay very long except if you constantly appear or participate on these platforms.
Employing analytics is critical to knowing where you're succeeding, and where you have more opportunity. Don't ignore it, or you'll never learn from mistakes or execute on potential.
#6 - Add Graphics, Photos and Illustrations (with link-back licensing)
If you're someone who can produce graphics, take photos, illustrate or even just create funny doodles in MS Paint, you should leverage that talent on your blog. By uploading and hosting images (or using a third-party service like Flickr or Niice to embed your images with licensing requirements on that site), you create another traffic source for yourself via Image Search, and often massively improve the engagement and enjoyment of your visitors.
When using images, I highly recommend creating a way for others to use them on their own sites legally and with permission, but in such a way that benefits you as the content creator. For example, you could have a consistent notice under your images indicating that re-using is fine, but that those who do should link back to this post. You can also post that as a sidebar link, include it in your terms of use, or note it however you think will get the most adoption.
Some people will use your images without linking back, which sucks.
Clicking the "similar" link on any given image will show you other images that Google thinks look alike, which can often uncover new sources of traffic. Just reach out and ask if you can get a link, nicely. Much of the time, you'll not only get your link, but make a valuable contact or new friend, too!
#7 - Conduct Keyword Research While Writing Your Posts
Not surprisingly, a big part of showing up in search engines is targeting the terms and phrases your audience are actually typing into a search engine. It's hard to know what these words will be unless you do some research, and luckily, there's a free tool from Google to help called the AdWords Keyword Planner.
Type some words at the top, hit search and AdWords will show you phrases that match the intent and/or terms you've employed. There's lots to play around with here, but watch out in particular for the keyword filters, keyword options, and include/exclude features:
When you choose "exact match" AdWords will show you only the quantity of searches estimated for that precise phrase. If you use broad match, they'll include any search phrases that use related/similar words in a pattern they think could have overlap with your keyword intent (which can get pretty darn broad). "Phrase match" will give you only those phrases that include the word or words in your search - still fairly wide-ranging, but between "exact" and "broad."
When you're writing a blog post, keyword research is best utilized for the title and headline of the post. For example, if I wanted to write a post here on Nairaland about how to generate good ideas for bloggers, I might craft something that uses the phrase "blog post ideas" or "blogging ideas" near the front of my title and headline, as in "Blog Post Ideas for When You're Truly Stuck," or "Blogging Ideas that Will Help You Clear Writer's Block."
Optimizing a post to target a specific keyword isn't nearly as hard as it sounds. 80% of the value comes from merely using the phrase effectively in the title of the blog post, and writing high quality content about the subject. If you're interested in more, read Perfecting Keyword Targeting and On-Page Optimization.
#8 - Frequently Reference Your Own Posts and Those of Others
The web was not made for static, text-only content! Readers appreciate links, as do other bloggers, site owners and even search engines. When you reference your own material in-context and in a way that's not manipulative (watch out for over-optimizing by linking to a category, post or page every time a phrase is used - this is almost certainly discounted by search engines and looks terrible to those who want to read your posts), you potentially draw visitors to your other content AND give search engines a nice signal about those previous posts.
Perhaps even more valuable is referencing the content of others. The biblical expression "give and ye shall receive," perfectly applies on the web. Other site owners will often receive Google Alerts (or, if they're using Moz, they might get Fresh Alerts :-) ) or look through their incoming referrers (as I showed above in tip #5) to see who's talking about them and what they're saying. Linking out is a direct line to earning links, social mentions, friendly emails and new relationships with those you reference. In its early days, this tactic was one of the best ways we earned recognition and traffic with the Moz blog and the power continues to this day.
#9 - Participate in Social Sharing Communities Like Reddit + StumbleUpon
The major social networking sites aren't alone in their power to send traffic to a blog. Social community sites like Reddit (which now receives more than 2 billion! with a "B"! views each month), StumbleUpon, Pinterest, Tumblr, Care2 (for nonprofits and causes), GoodReads (books), Ravelry (knitting), Newsvine (news/politics) and many, many more (Wikipedia maintains a decent, though not comprehensive list here).
Each of these sites has different rules, formats and ways of participating and sharing content. As with participation in blog or forum communities described above in tactic #2, you need to add value to these communities to see value back. Simply drive-by spamming or leaving your link won't get you very far, and could even cause a backlash. Instead, learn the ropes, engage authentically and you'll find that fans, links and traffic can develop.
These communities are also excellent sources of inspiration for posts on your blog. By observing what performs well and earns recognition, you can tailor your content to meet those guidelines and reap the rewards in visits and awareness. My top recommendation for most bloggers is to at least check whether there's an appropriate subreddit in which you should be participating. Subreddits and their search function can help with that.
#10 - Guest Blog (and Accept the Guest Posts of Others)
When you're first starting out, it can be tough to convince other bloggers to allow you to post on their sites OR have an audience large enough to inspire others to want to contribute to your site. This is when friends and professional connections are critical. When you don't have a compelling marketing message, leverage your relationships - find the folks who know you, like you and trust you and ask those who have blog to let you take a shot at authoring something, then ask them to return the favor.
Guest blogging is a fantastic way to spread your brand to new folks who've never seen your work before, and it can be useful in earning early links and references back to your site, which will drive direct traffic and help your search rankings (diverse, external links are a key part of how search engines rank sites and pages). Several recommendations for those who engage in guest blogging:
* Find sites that have a relevant audience - it sucks to pour your time into writing a post, only to see it fizzle because the readers weren't interested. Spend a bit more time researching the posts that succeed on your target site, the makeup of the audience, what types of comments they leave and you'll earn a much higher return with each post.
* Don't be discouraged if you ask and get a "no" or a "no response." As your profile grows in your niche, you'll have more opportunities, requests and an easier time getting a "yes," so don't take early rejections too hard and watch out - in many marketing practices, persistence pays, but pestering a blogger to write for them is not one of these (and may get your email address permanently banned from their inbox).
* When pitching your guest post make it as easy as possible for the other party. When requesting to post, have a phenomenal piece of writing all set to publish that's never been shared before and give them the ability to read it. These requests get far more "yes" replies than asking for the chance to write with no evidence of what you'll contribute. At the very least, make an outline and write a title + snippet.
* Likewise, when requesting a contribution, especially from someone with a significant industry profile, asking for a very specific piece of writing is much easier than getting them to write an entire piece from scratch of their own design. You should also present statistics that highlight the value of posting on your site - traffic data, social followers, RSS subscribers, etc. can all be very persuasie to a skeptical writer.
Be aware that Google's recently cracked down on guest blog posts and guest blog tools that focus exclusively on attracting links. While links can be a nice byproduct of a relevant, useful, and high quality contribution to another site, it can look very fishy to Google if all your links are coming from guest contributions that appear to have little relevance and low quality. Moz's Jen Lopez wrote an excellent summation of the new rules for guest posting here.
Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ are also great places to find guest blogging opportunities. In particular, check out the profiles of those you're connected with to see if they run blogs of their own that might be a good fit. Google's Blog Search function and services like BuzzSumo or Fresh Web Explorer are also solid tools for discovery.
