Nowadays, the message is very clear: #STAYHOME! Many countries are in Coronavirus Lockdown and we must stay home, as that is the only “vaccine” we have for now. It’s never fun staying indoors for an extended period. Even worse, we can’t hang out with friends, see a movie at the cinema, drive anywhere or even take a breath of fresh air.

However, staying safe at home doesn’t have to be lonely or boring. There are still lot of fun things you can do to avoid boredom. Below are some examples of things you can do during the lockdown

Workout
Staying in one place without activity is a recipe for sedentary living and bad for our health. Hence, daily exercise and good food help to keep us rejuvenated. Therefore, you should step up your fitness game indoors. For instance, if you’ve never cared about your fitness goals due to the hustle and bustle, now is a good time to start.

Learn New Things
How about doing something new? You can take an online course to boost your career or academic goals. You can also learn a new language, join a cooking class or simply improve yourself by joining a program on mindset training.

Join Online Challenges
There are fun things you can do online like the hilarious things people are doing on social media. From the million-mask challenge to PSA Dance, toilet roll dribbling, template memes, and lots more.

For example, one of the ways to stay productive this period is by joining the Stay at Home reality challenge.

TECNO Stay at Home Realities
The Stay at Home Reality challenge encourages people to post pictures of different activities they are doing during the lockdown.

You can post pictures about watching a movie, having breakfast, family moments, working at home and many more. However, you should post pictures from different parts of each day, morning to evening.

Participate by, going to the TECNO social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and submit your entry with the hashtag #StayAtHomeRealities.

Every week, the most creative entries with the highest number of shares, likes, and replies will be announced as winners. Winners will be given the chance to choose between:

- 1 month premium cable subscription
- Airtime Research (worth same amount)
- Shopping Voucher.

I learnt this activity runs from 17th of April to the 30th of April, 2020.

Why not take advantage of the lockdown and have a fun time wherever you are? Who knows, you just might win one of the TECNO’s prizes while having fun this period.

The bezel is that space bordered around your smartphone screen where the camera, phone sensor, home button, etc. are located. A notch is that small space on the screen where the camera, sensor and the phone speaker is located.

These days in the race of bigger bezel-less screens, phone companies have been continuously innovating their smartphones and some go a ‘notch’ further and remove the notch altogether. One may wonder if the phone has a bezel-less screen, where does the camera go? How does it work?

Back in the day, the camera, memory, RAM management, screen material used, the micro-chip, processor speed, battery backup, brand, etc were considered to be important factors for a person to consider while buying a smartphone.

But with the introduction of Tecno Mobile, smartphones are now slimmer, slicker and it's improves screen-to-body ratio should be one of the reasons you should get a smartphone.

Below are reasons why pop-up camera phones are awesome:

1. The cool feel: Pop-up sliders are cool and attractive. It shows how revolutionary and transformative technology has become.

2. More display area: One good benefit of the pop-up feature on any smartphone is that it gives room for a bigger display, also hides your camera in such a way that your screen is at the full display which is the perfect view to watch all your favorite movies and play video games.

3. No requirement of notch screen giving an elusive and cool impression: In this type of display, a place where the camera is placed is blank for the camera, making it look good as compared to the notch display

4. They also have a futuristic vibe and give users concerned with privacy peace of mind, as the front-facing camera isn’t staring at them the whole time.

How are you preparing for this lockdown. I have got food stuff, filled my gas, subscribed my GOTV and also bought petrol because of epileptic power supply.

Like I read in the news, lockdown in Europe means you can't step out of your door, so what will happen when those food stuff, petrol and other essentials finish?

Also what about those that stay in ghettos that don't have the basic needs at home like water? Will they be allowed to go fetch water down the street. How are we going to keep grounded pepper for soup that will last till the lockdown is over?

So how are we going to eat? If corona virus doesn't kill us, then hunger and thirst will. Even in countries with high cases, Malls and markets are open, just that every one is on face masks and hand gloves.

Nigerians! How prepared are you for this?

Thanks for sharing

1. Microfiber cloth
One of the easiest ways to clean your smartphone – especially after someone else has touched the screen – is to wipe it away.

However, according to Prof. Gerba, the end of the shirt is not enough to clean the screen, therefore you need a microfiber cloth.

You can store microfiber cloth in your wallet or purse, so you can quickly use it to wipe your device.

2. Rubbing with alcohol and water
Microfiber cloth helps, but for a better cleaning rate, Prof. Gerba recommends trying a mixture of alcohol (60 percent) and water (40 percent) to rub on the entire surface of the smartphone.

“To use it, gently wet the corners of a soft, lint-free, or cotton microfiber cloth,” said Prof. Gerba.

“Gently wipe the smartphone to kill bacteria and use a dry corner of the cloth to remove excess fluid in your smartphone,” he added.

The thing to remember, do not spray the solution mixture to your smartphone, because it can damage the device

3. Disinfectant wipes
If you want a more practical way without having to make an alcohol and water solution, you can try using disinfectant wipes that are usually sold in packages, said Prof. Gerba.

However, you need to be careful using it on your device. Disinfecting wipes may be a better choice for use on your smartphone case.

4. Hand sanitizer
One of the best ways to stay germ-free during the flu season is to wash your hands frequently. Make sure you use soap and warm water to rinse for at least 20 seconds.

Using hand sanitizers is also a good idea. However, Prof. Gerba noted that most alcohol-based cleaners only work when it gets wet and evaporates quickly.

The best choice is one that offers long-lasting protection, you can choose a hand sanitizer product that can kill germs longer.

TECNO has a number of smartphones that have a specific target audience with the name. One of their popular lines in the Kenyan market is the Camon line and it is their photography centric line.

It seems like TECNO will take it up a notch with the next Camon line. The Camon 15 will feature a headlining 64MP camera as their main sensor at the back.

It is rumoured that it is a Sony sensor although it is not explicitly mentioned what the exact product name is. On further research, this could be the Sony IMX 686 sensor which has a relatively large 1/1.7 inch sensor with a pixel size of 0.8μm.

I would expect the Camon 15 to allow you to shoot native 64MP photos but I would bet it will be shooting 16MP photos as standard. The Sony IMX 686 sensor combines 4 pixels into one pixel to create a 16MP image with a ‘boosted’ pixel size of 1.6μm. You will see a number of phones sporting this sensor and Camon 15 could be one of them. This means that it will theoretically have sharper images with lower noise (grain in photos) which is great.

The 64MP sensor of the Camon 15 will be a significant update to the Camon fans since the current one on sale, the Camon 12 Pro has a 16MP camera.

We are still not sure about the rest of the specifications but expect 4GB or 6GB of RAM, 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, a huge display and a huge battery pack. We will update you when we get more information about it.
