Infinix to launch a Smart watch Bluetooth Headset And A pair Of Earphones

Odimexy says ;

Infinix will not be ignored as the Apple, Samsung and the other mobile titans are venturing into wearables. To show they can rub shoulders with the big boys, they’ve just launched a smartwatch (or smart bracelet as they call it) called the Xband. At first glance, the most interesting thing about this accessory is that that you can detach what’s supposed to be the watch face, and use it as a bluetooth headset instead. A transformer, of sorts.

Like (m)any fitness watch(es), it works best as an appendage to your phone. It also monitors the usual metrics like steps, distance, estimated calories burnt, allows you set and share goals on social media and lasts 7 hours (they said). It has an IP Code of IP55. To break that down, it means it’s almost completely dust-resistant (the first 5), and it can withstand a jet of water sprayed at it from any direction for up to 3 minutes (the second 5) without getting damaged. Should you choose to buy it, I shouldn’t have to (but I feel like I need to) say, don’t try this at home.

I haven’t gotten a chance to actually use the Xband. At least, not yet, and Infinix hasn’t said how much it will cost, but my estimation is in the early twenties. Infinix was smart to not tie the Xband to their own smartphones, so anyone with an Android device can purchase and use the “smart bracelet” through the Xband app I just found on thePlay Store.

Second on their list is a pair of noise cancelling headphones called the XEo2. It’s the second in the series, and Infinix says it promises “an automatic noise cancellation quality (IC) of 95%”. None of that matters until you actually use it, so I’m going to hold my tongue. For now.

You Can No Upload 140sec Video On Twitter

ODIMEXYSAYS;
Twitter has announced that the video limit has been extended from 30 seconds to 140 seconds. That’s 2 minutes and 20 seconds. Vine videos are going to be longer too; moving from 6 seconds to 140 seconds. Twitter really does like the number 140.

BBM VIDEO HAS BEEN LAUNCHED IN AFRICA


Odimexy Says
After rolling out video calling services in North America and parts of Latin America, word has it that BBM users in Africa can now make video calls on their Android or iOS devices.
There’s no need to update the app on the store to be able to use this feature. It’s a server-side update so it should be showing on the app already. Users’ devices have to be running on Android Kitkat (version 4.4) or iOS 8 and above, though.

Techno Unveils It's first Marshmallow OS - The Tecno w4 And it's Wonderful Features

Odimexy says ;

TECNO mobile has silently released a new budget smartphone into the market, the TECNO W4 which obviously is the first TECNO device to run on the latest Android Marshmallow OS.

TECNO W4 is a well thought budget smartphone that meets the need of the increasing mobile users in Nigerians. The device is already on sale and it falls within the same price range with the new recently launched Infinix Hot 3.

Opening the box, you find the W4. Opening further you find the USB cable, power plug, earpiece and a complementary phone cover.

The device is a 5-inch display with screen resolution of 720p, it is made of plastic with removable back cover. The display is not bad for a budget phone.

Design and interface is different from the Boom J8, obviously not HiOS: both exhibit the form we are used to on TECNO devices except for a few borrowings from the Interface on the J8.

Navigation keys are on the screen while the volume rocker and power button are placed on the right side of the phone.

Speaker grill is at the back of the phone and its so wide, taking over half of the whole length of the phone so you expect a loud music.

This device runs on Android Marshmallow, obviously the first and its quite questionable why TECNO had to bump this budget phone with the latest Android OS instead of the Boom J8 which is higher on the rungs. Well this could be an indication that the coming devices will run Marshmallow, however we will wait till the next Camon is out.

The rear camera is 8MP with a flash while the front is a 2MP shooter, camera quality is what you obviously get from a budget phone.

Internal memory is 16GB but you have access to 10.GB out of the box, thankfully memory can be expanded with a memory card. RAM size is 1GB and I am not sure if this will be able to do so much considering the fact that people want to do so much with their devices.

The 2,500mAh battery seems to be pretty impressive within the short time with it. Although I didn’t insert a SIM card, it was connected to Wi-Fi all the time with continuous screen-on time and internet browsing.

Anyway that’s it about the unboxing and quick review; I still can’t stop wondering why this device came with the Marshmallow version of the Android OS and the Boom J8 had the Lollipop OS.

It really leaves one with questions and thoughts that only the guys at TECNO can provide answers to.

Yes you might be surprised,  but techno is really getting to itz edge

LinkedIn Acquired By Microsoft under $26.2 billion deal

Odimexy says ;
As Microsoft gives up on its failed
smartphone business, the company’s
interest has turned to social networking.
Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, announced
in a tweet earlier today that the company
is acquiring LinkedIn which is the
world’s largest professional social
network.

“ .@Microsoft &
@LinkedIn : world’s leading
professional cloud + world’s
leading professional network
https://t.co/63V90F77Wj —
Satya Nadella
(@satyanadella) June 13, 2016

The tweet has sent LinkedIn’s stock up by
48%. This is a $26.3 billion dollar deal
which is expected to close before the end
of the year. Microsoft says nothing is
changing about the LinkedIn despite the
acquisition and Jeff Weiner will continue
to be the CEO. Satya Nadella said:
‘ The LinkedIn team has
grown a fantastic business
centered on connecting the
world’s
professionals. Together we
can accelerate the growth of
LinkedIn, as well as Microsoft
Office 365 and Dynamics as
we seek to empower every
person and organization on
the planet.

Microsoft is rebranding itself as
a “productivity and platform company for
a mobile first and cloud-first world”
according to Satya Nadella. The
acquisition further emphasizes
Microsoft’s goal and this strong foothold
in social networking makes a lot of sense.
Instead of building its own social network
from the ground up, Microsoft now has a
tool that might might rival Facebook.

LinkedIn has about 433 million users
globally and it has about 7 million job
listings at the moment.
