Lower the screen brightness:

The ‘auto’ setting is of no help as it automatically adjusts the brightness and drains the battery. Remember that the display feeds on battery and demands a larger share of it. So, take care to lessen the brightness of your screen so that the battery life is stretched.

Shut down redundant Radio feature:

The phones come with LTE, NFC, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth feature but may be keeping all of them awake throughout the day is not conductive for the battery. Take care to turn off the Wi-Fi when you are not under a battery network etc.

The Background Apps should be shut down:

Sometimes we are too lazy to close the apps on the whole and simply press the home or background button to exit. Keep closing the apps that might be running still and eating into the battery periodically in a day.

Don’t download widgets and wallpapers:

Apart from looking teenagerish, the widgets and wallpapers are voracious battery-eaters so ditching them seems like a good idea to us, especially those internet based widgets like weather and news.

Hunt down the battery saving features in your phone:

Your phone comes equipped with battery saving features such as All ROMs, whether stock Android, OEM UIs such as TouchWiz and or custom ROMs like CyanogenMod which enable you to conserve battery consumption. Like HTC has Extreme Power Saving Mode, Samsung has Ultra Power Saving Mode, so there may be one such in yours too.

Ditch Auto-Sync:

The applications such as Gmail, Twitter, Calendar etc have self-updating features provided to them for bringing you the latest information which definitely adversely affects the battery life. There is an auto-sync options in the settings menu, if you turn it off, the said thing won’t happen.

Use Greenify in your phone:

Greenify helps optimize performance and increase battery complacency. The apps that are in hibernation because not being in use currently are shut down by Greenify .

Turn off vibration:

This is the most tried and tested method to save battery life and we completely recommend you to turn off vibration for the incoming calls because vibrator is a ruthless battery drainer.

These are the ways you can save your Android phone’s battery and keep it going for longer hours.

How to Know Your Smartphone Camera is Good as Megapixel is Not Only Important to Determine That

The saleability soars up of a Smartphone because of its camera and the companies are moving heaven and earth to produce best camera features possible in lowest of prices. Improving the low-light performance is the main focus as of now alongside the camera modules at the back. Either way, there is a paradigm shift from the quaint point-and-shoot cameras which are close to extinct now. Come the time when a camera’s credibility is judged by the megapixel count and every company is taking one step ahead into future from the other. The minimum range starts from a 1 Megapixel and goes up to a whopping 41 Megapixel camera bordering on cutting-edge features.

However, high-end megapixel count is not the only deciding factor while buying smartphone, there many hiding features about a camera phone that make it worth your while and here under discussed are a few of them.

What is a Megapixel Camera?

The resolution in a megapixel camera is denoted when the camera captures the image. Depends on the digital resolution of the photo or the video that the camera is capable of capturing, take for instance, a 12 megapixel camera will capture in a  4200×2800 pixels resolution whereas an 8 megapixel one will do that with 3264×2468 pixels.

What it means if a camera has higher resolution?

It is proved that a higher resolution camera will capture an image with a sharper appearance or good deal of detailing but that nevertheless make it a good camera because there are other necessities that earn it that benediction.

What importance does the lens play?

The lens plays a very crucial role in determining a capable camera as the subject comes across a lens first before capturing. The lens fixes the input of light which hits the sensor so the lens glass has to be of good quality. If your camera lens belongs to companies like Zeiss, then you can surely rely on it.

Phones that have wider aperture:

There are phones like Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the One Plus 5T that allow more light into the lens for the wider aperture, even with a 13 megapixel sensor.

What are the other things the image sensor is responsible of?

The sensor also pushes the limits of light when it has completely utilized the lens’ capability. It also brings the ISO feature to usher the image into more light when there is not sufficient light already. If the ISO in the camera is troubled or there is more noise, it works to lessen the noise to improve the image quality.

Bahrain To Host The Very 1st ‘Baby Olympics’ And We Are All Going Gushy-Mushy, Already

We love babies. And, every cute antics of these cuddle-buns. You must have derived immense hormonal push while seeing their adorable videos online. Amirite? (Guilty!)

Last year, there was a video that made our ovaries burst with the awwdorableness. Baby Olympics, guys. Yes, the hypothetical setting in which toddlers competed to clinch some medals. Medals? They won every heart!

Olympic Channel had a video where they placed a scenario in front of us, If Cute Babies Competed in the Olympic Games.

We remember telling ourselves that we need something like this in real-life. And, looks like that our prayers have been answered. Bahrain will have a Baby Olympics where 2-4 years old kiddos will contest, this April. Kyoot!

This is done so that the Olympics principles and exercise practice is inculcated in them from a very young age, reports RT.

“THE BAHRAIN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE (BOC) INTENDS TO INCLUDE FIVE DISCIPLINES. THE ATHLETICS COMPETITION WILL HOST THREE EVENTS: MEDLEY RELAY FOR FOUR YEAR-OLDS, A HURDLES TODDLE FOR THREE YEAR-OLDS, WHILE PARTICIPATING TWO YEAR-OLDS WILL CROSS A SPECIALLY DESIGNED STRETCH OF 15 METERS IN A FREESTYLE RACE.”

There would be even a freestyle gymnastic moves contest, a free-kick competition in football, a basketball free-throws contest and a weightlifting show. Aww!

BOC General Secretary Abdulrahman Askar, who also heads Bahrain’s Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, at a meeting at National Stadium, proposed the idea of Baby Olympics. (God bless him!) They aim to popularise sports in the kingdom in hopes that they could have an Olympian some day.

Woah! These kiddos would surely bag those hearts, if not medals.

And, we hope that they keep the sports as fun-only event and not make it too competitive.

Fake Stories Of 2017 That We Blindly Believed

This year saw social media at its strongest, so much so that it made us believe some of the weirdest news that kept coming our way. While social media is necessary to spread the news and to have a bit of fun, today's public should be well aware of the 'breaking news' that might have broken to just break our heads off with hoax information.

Having said that, a number of viral flawed and invalid stories and news had flooded the social media with a storm. One after the other, it all got a seal of the 'wow' or 'oh my god'. Sadly, these fake news are still considered to be real and need to be out with a full stop to them. Here is a list of such news, that had made us cringe, laugh and mostly weirded us out. Take a look!

1. Pictures of the G20 Summit that went viral.

The leaders of particular countries were photoshopped into the picture which saw many powerful world leaders coming together and discussing something serious. This picture was trolled, and some did believe that their respective leader was in fact, the VVIP among the VIPs.

2. Kiran Bedi's tweet of a picture where monuments around the world were lit up in tricolour.

Kiran Bedi tweeted a picture of monuments such as Leaning Tower of Pisa, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, etc., which were lit up in tricolour on the eve of the Indian Republic Day. The truth was that apart from Burj Khalifa, no other monuments were lit up that way. 

3. A girl underwent 50 surgeries to look like Angelina Jolie.

The viral pictures of the Iranian teenager Sahar Tabar went berserk because it was earlier claimed that she had undergone 50 surgeries to look like Hollywood star Angelina Jolie and the outcome to all those surgeries is in front of you. Not only this, but she was also claimed to look like Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, among other equally horrific names. Later, it was known that all of this was nothing but a fake news. She just photoshopped her own image, and the pictures that she posted did not look like her at all.
