OckyPocky

Each child perceives the world anew. They are eager to learn and explore the environment around them. But, is the environment safe for them to explore freely? A lot of kids consume edutainment content across different apps such as YouTube, which have a volley of different content – not all suited to kids.

As a parent myself, I set out to look for an app that my child could use independently without my assistance. Not just this, I needed a platform that gave equal weightage to having fun and learning. This is when I came across OckyPocky by WhizKidz Media.

The app comes with a vision to help parents of small-town kids who face challenges with English speaking. The app bridges the gap for ‘Bharat’ thereby building a better foundation for its future generations at a stage where it really matters, which assists children with their English learning needs using AI/NLP behind the screens.

This app was created by ex-YouTube head, entrepreneur and dad (times two) Amit Agarwal, and allows kids to have fun, learn and grow all at once. This interactive learning app is exactly what several parents are looking for. A hassle-free destination that can be used by kids all alone in a safe environment without parental assistance.

The best part? OckyPocky promises to teach your kids English in a fun and interactive way through gamification. Fun videos, stories, and activities await your child on the app. Through all the enjoyable moments they’ll spend on this platform, they will also learn over 2,000 words of English, creating a solid foundation for their future.

Getting started

Once you have installed the application, you’ll be welcomed by a fun jingle and will get the option to choose from English, Hindi or Marathi. Once you’ve selected your preferred language, you’re introduced to OckyPocky – your kid’s new best friend. Enter your child’s name and age, and that’s it, let the uniquely enjoyable learning experience begin!

The top left corner of the screen will take you to the Parent Corner, where you can edit your child’s info, choose language, check notifications, and see your rank. Here, you’ll also find the customer service tab. The top right corner allows you to stop or start the background music.

Now you can either visit the First Words section or the Videos section. Within First Words, you’ll find activities such as Matching, Read, Listen & Learn, and Speak. The Videos tab will take you to a host of options, including Alphabets, Animals, Body Parts, Colours, Shapes, Activities, and several others.

Top USPs and Features

Safe Learning Experience: This app is KidSAFE Seal Certified and is designed for kids from Grade 1 to Grade 8. Parental control helps to set a timer lock which will make sure the kids are using limited screen time.

Technologically superior learning process: OckyPocky is a great app that leverages AI, NLP, and other innovative technologies to enable an interactive learning experience for children. OckyPocky will literally listen to your child pronouncing words and then provide real-time feedback on their efforts. There can be nothing better for a parent. Further, a Magical Proprietary Algorithm detects your child’s interest and shows the related videos.

High level of customization: You can add multiple children to the dashboard and change age, gender, and language settings for each of them. OckyPocky provides age-appropriate videos, stories, and activities created by a team of experts who are also mothers. So, you’ll always find relevant content. Plus, there is also a Galactic Mind Map which shows what characters, cartoons or rhymes your child has been watching and monitors his evolution. You can download your kid’s favourite videos, which they could watch offline.

Learning in the mother tongue: Kids learning English in their mother tongue is a unique concept that has huge potential. This will allow kids to learn English comfortably and retain the concepts much faster and better. Children can learn in English, Hindi, or Marathi.

User-friendly and interactive UI/UX: From the colours to the sounds, everything about OckyPocky is inviting and interesting for the kids. It will never get boring or dull, and children can enjoy hours of independent learning. There is a co-watch zone where parents can watch interactive and activity videos with their kids.

Conclusion

In conclusion, OckyPocky checks all the boxes that a parent could think of. It is a highly useful app that is created with an in-depth understanding of DIY and gamification and can transform your child’s early learning experience. For me, OckyPocky is now the first choice for English learning and edutainment content consumption.

Infinix Note 11 series takes extended RAM one step further with latest OTA update

Infinix-Note-11

RAM (random access memory) is a major attribute of the customer-purchasing journey and the everyday user aspires for a mobile phone with plenty of RAM. A mobile phone has two memories, RAM and ROM, which correspond to the memory and hard disk of a computer respectively. The memory is responsible for running programs and exchanging data, while the hard disk means the storage space where you can store photos, videos and other files. All programs in the phone run on RAM, therefore, read and write speed and capacity of RAM are crucial for the performance of the phone.

Countless smartphone users have encountered a scenario where the game is forced back and has to be reloaded only because users switch to social apps to replay messages during playing the game. This is the so-called “Kill APP” which is caused by insufficient memory. With a larger running memory, users can run more apps simultaneously and quickly switch between apps without lag. This is a big deal for heavy users and especially gamers as more RAM make the game run smoother, making the experience proudly more fun. RAM, however, increases the price significantly leading to a dilemma for customers wanting a phone with more ram but not having the budget to purchase it.

Infinix extends RAM for a smooth experience

With the latest OTA update, the Note 11 series featured a brand new feature having extended RAM technology, which allows the phones RAM to be boosted. Upon installing this OTA:

  • In Note 11s (8GB+128GB), device’s RAM will be boosted by 3GB – from 8GB to 11GB.
  • Similarly, in Note 11s (6GB+64GB), device’s RAM will be boosted by 1GB – from 6GB to 7GB.
  • Similarly, in Note 11 (4GB+64GB), device’s RAM will be boosted by 1GB – from 4GB to 5GB.

This is a game-changer when you’re using more apps at a certain time and need a temporary boost in performance without compromising your daily battery life too much. Extended RAM technology means that a part of the ROM will be used to work as RAM when the RAM is not sufficient to ensure smooth performance.

With extended RAM technology enabled, the number of apps that the Infinix NOTE 11S can run simultaneously is increases from 9 to 20. With the same 20 apps running, the average startup speed of applications can be increased by 60% to about 300ms in the Note 11 Series. The phone can load games faster and ensure that users can get into games quickly even if they switch among multiple apps.

The Infinix Note 11S also features a more advanced UFS 2.2 flash memory, which uses write booster technology, providing faster storage speeds than traditional UFS 2.1, including an 8% increase in random write speed, 35% in random read speed, and 80% in sequential write speed.

Physical memory in Android phones has climbed from 1GB to 8GB in the past decade, and there are several flagship phones with 10GB or more. In contrast, Infinix adopts its own extended RAM technology on the basis of the increased physical memory, bringing users a more stable and smooth multi-application running experience through technology upgrades for the same attainable price.

Next generational technology isn’t beyond reach and Infinix is working hard to ensure several future devices have innovative technology that solves the daily issues consumers face at a convenient and attainable price point.

Tecno-Camon-18

Tecno knows how to steal a market. They always comes with a device that brings so much to the table that it makes you forget about the other brands. Recently, the company launched the Camon 18 series that includes the Camon 18 Premier, Camon 18P, Camon 18i, and the regular Camon 18.

We received the Tecno Camon 18 as a review unit to review the same. Tecno claims Camon 18 to be the best camera-centric smartphone with a price range of under Rs 15,000. So, does the smartphone really live up to the company’s claim? Apart from the camera, what is there in the phone, which makes it a better mid-range smartphone? We’ll get to know now!

What’s in the box?

Like many budget phones, Tecno provides everything needed out of the box. When you open the box, as usual you get the handset at the top. Then, we have a transparent soft gel phone case over here with the one common at the back. We have the 18W flash charger along with the USB Type-C cable. The phone even has a plastic film screen protector that’s pre-applied. And lastly, we have the SIM ejector tool. Besides, the TWS earbuds priced at Rs 1,999 are being given free with the smartphone, which is great.

Design

Compared to the previous phones of Tecno Camon series, Camon 18 has done a lot of work in the design department. It comes in premium design. Especially the rear look of the smartphone is quite spectacular, which comes in glossy finish. But due to the use of plastic, fingerprints are clearly visible on the rear panel when the phone is held.

At the right side of the phone, you will find the power button which also doubles as the fingerprint scanner, which is pretty fast as expected. On the left side, you will find the dual SIM tray that can hold two SIM cards and an SD card. At the bottom, you find a USBC Type-C port, a headphone jack, and a single speaker outlet. At the back, we have a triple camera setup with quad flash. At the front, we have a dotting display front camera with the earpiece on top.

The Tecno Camon 18 has a large 6.8-inch LCD panel display with Full HD i.e. 1080 x 2460 pixel resolution. One can easily hold the phone. The display has a very tall aspect ratio now as I have used it to consume contents on most social media platforms. The display has a 90 hz refresh rate and it’s very smooth comparing it to devices like the Redmi 10. The display comes with 500 nits peak brightness; therefore, there is no problem in using the phone outdoors.

Performance

From the box, the Tecno Camon 18 comes with Android 11 based HiOS 8.0 skin and is being powered by MediaTek Helio G85 chipset. You get up to 4GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage. Also, 3GB expandable RAM support is available. You get up to 4GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage. Everything actually works very smoothly. Performing day-to-day tasks like watching videos, using social media and putting the phone under heavy task of switching between applications is quite smooth. However, it is not suitable for high graphics gaming. Overall, the Tecno Camon 18 is quite better in terms of performance.

Cameras

The Tecno Camon 18 is a camera-centric smartphone that has been introduced with 48MP + 48MP combination. This means a 48MP triple camera has been given in the rear of the device as well as on the front. Along with 48MP main camera, you get a 2MP depth and a 2MP macro lens at the back. AI Cam, Beauty, Portrait and Super Night Mode have been given in the phone.

The night mode pictures on this phone are just on point like it’s surprisingly good. I have used some more expensive smartphones that can pull of the kind of night mode pictures that this phone pulls and that’s a plus and something I really love about Tecno Camon 18.

As for regular pictures, I think the performance is just average because a lot of times, the HDR doesn’t work as expected, other times it works well so there is no consistency. If you are buying a phone like this, you should expect this kind of behavior from the cameras.

Talking about the video department, the Tecno Camon 18 comes with 2K video recording mode. We also have short video if you are into Reels and YouTube Shorts. For the other useful features in this phone are time lapse, slow motion and super night feature. Talking about the overall camera department, the phone is quite good.

Battery

For the battery of the Tecno Camon 18, you get up to 5,000mAh battery and supports 18W fast charging. It took me around one and a half hour to get the device fully charged. The screen on time on this device could be between 7 to 8 hours which is fairly good enough for the battery capacity that device has that means depending on how much of heavy user you are. This phone should be able to take you through the whole day before you are able to kill the battery.

Price

The 4 GB RAM + 128 GB internal storage base variant of Tecno Camon 18 price in India starts from Rs 14,999. The smartphone is available in Dusk Grey and Iris Purple color options. Tecno stands out from the rest of its competitors with attractive features under Rs 15,000.

Conclusion

From my perspective, there are a couple of main sections that any phone owner want to see their phone excel in – that is – performance, camera, and battery. The Tecno Camon 18 does really well in all of these areas. A 4GB of RAM, a triple rear camera, and a massive battery. Hence, the device is totally great and worth the price it currently sells for. It’s good that Tecno is quickly catching up to what price-conscious customers want and has also brought major improvements. I thoroughly enjoyed using this Tecno Camon 18!

FiiO announces the launch of the M17 Portable Desktop Class Music Player in India. The player is priced at MRP 1,79,990 and is now available for purchase at the official website of FiiO and leading online & retail stores.

Key features of the M17 are below:

Desktop-league DAC ES9038PRO: The left and right audio channels each contain a desktop-class, 8-channel ES9038PRO flagship DAC. This means that each audio channel has 8 parallel outputs summed together for superior resolution and minimal distortion for extremely pure audio reproduction.

Desktop-class THX 788+ headphone amp: Desktop-class amplification also plays an important role in the M17. FiiO and THX jointly developed the exclusive THX AAA-788+, an upgraded version of the original op-amp. Compared to the original, output power is increased by 225% up to 3000mW per channel with a lower output impedance – allowing it more effortlessly power all kinds of headphones.

Desktop-level connectivity: The M17 DAPs features: 3.5mm output: headphone out/line out; 6.3mm output: headphone out; 2.5mm output: balanced headphone out; 4.4mm output: balanced headphone out/balanced line out; RCA coaxial port: coaxial input and output; USB 3.0 port: supports USB Host and Device modes, can be used for high-speed data transfers and fast charging; USB 2.0 port: supports USB Host mode, allowing external DACs or hard drive storage to be connected.

Desktop-tier heat dissipation: With exceptional audio quality comes with large power consumption, so effective heat dissipation was a large focus when designing the M17 DAPs. Not only are ‘H’ type heat dissipation and VC liquid cooling technologies adopted, the M17’s 151g unibody aluminium alloy frame also effectively transfers heat out of the device. Finally, the cooling fan stand also further makes sure heat is rapidly transported away.

Desktop-quality power supply: The M17 portable player contains two power supplies – a battery power supply and a power supply powered by external DC power. The battery power supply allows you to use the M17 in situations where there is no access to a power outlet. Under DC power supply, voltage in the analog circuit is increased by 35% up to 11.5V compared to under battery power supply; and the battery is kept healthy since it is not used in this mode.

Desktop-grade gain: Under battery power, there are 4 gain levels: low, medium, high, and headphone mode. When under DC mode, the enhanced over-ear headphone mode gain is unlocked, with a truly desktop level of amplification gain. In balanced output, gain can get as high as 16dB – allowing the M17 to easily drive most headphones.

A true smartphone-like experience: Android 10 OS open to install 3rd party apps; Bluetooth 5.0 with support for aptX Adaptive, supports up to DSD512 and 32bit/768kHz, supports MQA 8x unfolding for master-level sound.
