Good day boss.

Nice review, hope you will do a review about google allo because the google assistant on allo already conquered Whatsapp.

Google assistant chats like a real person.

I am planning to do a review on my blog also.

Op it's like it works with phone numbers in your contact list. Cos it's asking me to invite people to video chat with them.

Google released their own video chatting app, called Google Duo. It is called Duo as it can be utilized for one-to-one chatting.

The application gathered around 10 million downloads within its very first month however is gradually going cold. The app has been extremely rated on the Play store but a little less on the Apple Store. It has a score of 4.5 stars from over 142,000 votes. So, here is my review of the Google Duo app with all the functions explained.

The app is truly small and is around 8MB on the Play Store. Press the Install button to download. When finished the app will set up like all the other apps. After that is done, you can leap straight to the video chatting function.


You will need to approve Google Duo the authorization to access your contacts, take video, record audio, and gain access to SMS. When all the approvals are given, you will be welcomed with the Terms. Hit agree and after that verify your mobile number.

After typing your mobile number, wait for the confirmation code to show up as an SMS. It will immediately apply to your account and you will go into the screen of the app. The shutter button is exactly what you have to press to begin video chatting.

The top right corner has the settings button in which there are options to alter vibrating feedback, turn on/off Knock Knock, restricting data use, including blocked contacts and more. Google Duo is an easy app with a non-cluttered interface that anyone can get used to in about 2 mins.

The app has truly increased since its release however the first 5m downloads came within a week. Now after nearly a month we have around 10m downloads. Certainly, the buzz around it is going down, but it is a very easy yet effective app.

Time really is a big factor in life. That's why one has to make the best of every time because it will not last for ever. It was once Yahoo messenger back in the days and then BBM came and it looked liked the world will end without BBM. I can't even remember when last I used mine too and am sure a season will come when even Facebook and whatsapp itself will fade away. ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME if they don't also seat up.

what about google hangout

After introducing the DTEK50 a couple of months back, BlackBerry might quickly release a new device call Dtek60.

CrackBerry spotted a page on the BlackBerry site (which has actually been taken down) that exposed some specs of the upcoming gadget. If the specs hold true, then the DTEK60 looks like a really powerful smart device.

The phone is tipped to include a 5.5-inch QHD display screen and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC with 4GB of RAM. The gadget might also have 32GB of storage and a 3000mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0. Other functions include 21MP and 8MP cams, finger print sensing unit, and a USB Type-C port.

These line up with the rumoured specs of the 'Argon' gadget that BlackBerry was tipped to be working on. The firm was also supposedly working on 2 other gadgets called 'Neon' and 'Mercury'. The Neon was introduced to be the DTEK50, while the Mercury is yet to be revealed. Rumours also show that the Mercury smart device might have a physical QWERTY keyboard.

The batteries that our smart devices presently use (and the majority of electronic gadgets too) consist of inflammable elements.They are lithium batteries, both Li-ion and Li-Po.

All batteries have a cathode and an anode (positive and negative), a compound which minimizes and provides electrons and another which oxidizes and gathers them. This transfer is utilized to supply the mobile phone with energy.

In all batteries, the cathode and the anode are separated by a membrane. If the cathode and the anode touch each other then they react chemically, and when it comes to lithium batteries that reaction is extremely quick. It's really not an explosion, however rather a really fast combustion. The good thing is the battery does not have enough fuel to blow up strongly but it will trigger damage to anything within a radius of half a meter.

Batteries have 3 layers (cathode, membrane and anode) rolled up numerous times on themselves in such a way that the cathode and anode never ever touch. The problem occurs when the membrane that separates them weakens or even worse, when it comes faulty from the factory like Note7.

All lithium batteries have a temperature level control circuit. If the battery warms up above a particular temperature level then the circuit will stop it from charging. High temperatures harm the membrane and as quickly as this lets the cathode and anode contact each other the combustion starts.

Anyhow, it's very important to keep an eye on our batteries. We must ensure that they never ever go beyond 60 degrees. If it begins to swell or deform it must be replaced immediately. And one thing you must never do is pierce them with a sharp object.

It's a smart messaging app because it has the power of Google built-in and can obviously learn with time. Although the user interface resembles any chat application, the combination of the artificial intelligence takes Allo's performance and simplicity of use to a brand-new level.

[size=15pt]How does Google Allo work?[/size]

Just like WhatsApp, Allo is based upon your telephone number, so you can use it to send out messages to anyone in your phone contact - not just other Allo users. Asides that, Google had highlighted 3 elements of Allo that make it distinct eg. Security.

[size=15pt]Security[/size]

All messages in Allo are encrypted. Allo provides an Incognito Mode, similar to Chrome browser, which means you get access to not just end-to-end encrypted messages. however, functions like expiring chats and personal notifications.

Nice one, what if you slept off while your phone is charging and it got to 100% to me I will say, a smartphone has the builtin functionality to detect when The phone is fully charged and it will automatically stop the inflow of any external current to the battery.

Yes, we understand. Our mobile phone batteries are bad because they hardly last a day. However, it's partly our fault due to the fact that we have actually been charging them wrong this entire time.

We have a deep-rooted idea that charging our mobile phones in small bursts will trigger long-lasting damage to their batteries which it's much better to charge them when they're close to dead.

A site from battery firm Cadex called Battery University gave information how the lithium-ion batteries in our mobile phones are sensitive to their own variations of "stress." And, like for human beings, extended stress could be damaging your mobile phone battery's long-lasting life-span.

If you wish to keep your mobile phone battery in good condition and go about your day without stressing over battery life, you have to alter a couple of things.

Don't keep it plugged in when it's completely charged

According to Battery University, leaving your phone plugged in when it's completely charged, like you may overnight, is bad for the battery in the long run.

As soon as your mobile phone has reached 100% charge, it gets "trickle charges" to keep it at 100% while plugged in. It keeps the battery in a high-stress, which wears down the chemistry within.

Battery University goes into a lot of scientific information describing why, however, it also sums it perfectly: "When completely charged, get rid of the battery" from its charger.It's like relaxing the muscles after exhausting workout. You too would be quite tired if you exercised continuously for hours and hours.

In fact, don't charge it to 100%.

At least when you do not need to.

According to Battery University, "Li-ion does not need to be completely charged, nor is it preferable to do so. In fact, it is much better not to completely charge, due to the fact that a high voltage disturbs the battery".

That may appear counterproductive if you're aiming to keep your smart device charged throughout the day, however, simply plug it in whenever you can during the day, and you'll be ok.

Plug in your phone whenever you can

It happens that the batteries in our mobile phones are much better if you charge them periodically throughout the day instead of plugging them in for a huge charging session when they're empty.

Charging your device when it loses 10 percent of its charge would be the best-case scenario, according to Battery University. Clearly, that's not useful for most people, so simply plug in your mobile phone whenever you can. It's fine to plug and disconnect it several times a day.

Not only does this keep your mobile phone's battery working efficiently for longer, but it likewise keeps it topped up throughout the day.

let's hope this isn't another ticking bomb in a PROfessional style.

Twitter's defining characteristic, the 140-character-limit will be removed. Beginning September 19, users will get more area to compose and express. In spite of the change, Twitter will still hang on to a limitation however media attachments like GIFs, videos as well as quoted tweets won't be included in the count.
The modification was announced earlier this year, by CEO Jack Dorsey, who stated that the move was among the biggest modifications in recent times. He claimed the modification will provide the "complete expressiveness of 140 characters"

In the beginning of this year, there were reports concerning Twitter totally getting rid of the word count limitation however Dorsey cleared the air by calling it a "lovely restriction" that the firm can never ever lose.

Goodday friends, pls I need ur advice on the best android 4G enabled phone within the price range of 40k.

Marshmallow has lastly acquired traction and is being utilized by a substantial portion of Android users, new data revealed.
Google published distribution information for the most popular variations of Android, with its analysis drawn from use throughout the seven-day period to September 5. It reveals that Marshmallow has actually gotten considerable share about one year after it was first launched.

As you can see in Google's pie chart, the most current versions of Android are the most pervasive. This may come as little surprise but, as we see every year, the latest release takes lots of months before users will get it. The frequently slow update release cycle from phone makers produce bottlenecks that result in fragmentation within the ecosystem.

Marshmallow is operating on 18.7 percent of gadgets, while Lollipop (with versions 5.0 and 5.1) is the most prevalent at 35 percent. Nevertheless, KitKat, which is about 3 years of ages, still works on 27.7 percent of gadgets to be the second-most popular Android version.Which version of Android are you still on?
