Google Pixel 6a security lapse
Pixel 6a

Google Pixel 6a was recently launched by its makers in numerous countries but many users have discovered a massive security lapse in one of its features. There have been quite a few complaints that their smartphone can be unlocked through any fingerprint not just theirs.

Only last week there was a report where two users complained about the under-display fingerprint sensor that allowed anyone to unlock it including those that had not registered their fingerprints ahead of time.

The reports are growing alarmingly high as six more people have come out with similar complaints ranging from being able to unlock the phone with a different unregistered finger to being able to unlock another’s handset.

This alarming security lapse has elicited extreme negative reactions from many viewers who have called out Google for this poor testing the handsets as now none of them can trust their fingerprint scanner with their personal and sensitive info.

PUBG banned in India again

 Today’s youngsters have a lot of enthusiasm inside them that is bursting to come out and nothing excites them more than action adventure mobile games. Given the enormous variety available, it is difficult to pick one as most of them are of topnotch quality.

PUBG banned in India

PUBG: Battlegrounds can easily find itself on any list of Top 3 action adventure games out there whether in India or abroad. The game has set a massive benchmark for future endeavors to replicate but as of now it has no peer.

It has been a mere five years since PUBG released and has already soared in popularity throughout the globe and takes the credit for reigniting the craze for battle royale ventures during its peak in 2018 when it was played by nearly 60 million people.

However, there is bad news for Indian subscribers as it has been banned in India again by the Indian government citing national security issue. Krafton, developer of PUBG, has struggled to keep it going in India with little success.

The reason for the ban is the growing tensions between India and China as Krafton has partnered with Chinese gaming publisher Tencent. The central government opines that China will use it to their advantage and siphon of data from mobile phones.

This is the second time it is banned in India in the last two years and that too after Krafton launched a brand new update in PUBG that contained different types of content to make the game more entertaining.

The update in PUBG 18.2 version brought the Deston map with new mechanics and breathtaking locales along with an O12 shotgun to add to the list of powerful arms needed to tackle the mission.

This ban will serve as a huge financial blow for Krafton especially after so many image makeovers to cater to the Indian public due to which it won their hearts in the first place but now they’ll have to think of an alternative fast.

The advantages of the Google Pixel 6a over the iPhone SE in terms of price (2022)

0
Google Pixel 6a

When pitted against each other in direct comparison, it’s easy to see a number of similarities between Google’s new Pixel 6a and Apple’s iPhone SE (2022)

Each phone also boasts the same cutting-edge chipset that powers its flagship bigger brother (that’s the A15 Bionic chip on Apple’s most recent iPhone SE and the Google-designed Tensor chip on the Pixel 6a), making them both the most affordable handsets in their respective manufacturers’ 2022 ranges.

However, there are a few areas where Google’s low-cost smartphone clearly outperforms its rival created by Apple, giving it a somewhat more luxury feel.

With that in mind, here are three justifications for why the new Google Pixel 6a is a superior entry-level smartphone to Apple’s iPhone SE (2022), as well as two against them.

  1. The display is bigger and better

 With all due respect to the vivid True Tone display on the iPhone SE (2022), the Pixel 6a’s screen is outstanding in every aspect imaginable. Its thin bezels and lack of a forehead and chin allow it to be significantly larger at 6.1 inches (the iPhone SE’s is only 4.7 inches).

Additionally, the Pixel 6a has OLED display technology, which enables far higher contrast and vibrancy at the individual pixel level than the iPhone SE (2022), which has an outdated LCD screen.

Which brings us to each phone’s display resolution. The iPhone SE (2022) offers a less-premium LCD display, but its resolution only tops out at 1334 x 750 with a density of 326 ppi. The champion of this category is unquestionably the Pixel 6a, with its 429 ppi density and 1080 x 2400 resolution.

Google Pixel 6a

  1. Camera Features

Additionally, the iPhone SE (2020)’s Touch ID sensor was kept apart from the display because it was wise for Apple to do so. The Pixel 6a’s in-display fingerprint scanner is so slow that it confirms this.

Both smartphones include a 12MP primary camera, but the Pixel 6a has a dual camera configuration with an extra 12MP ultra-wide sensor, allowing you to record more in a single frame.

  1. Double the storage for a comparable cost

The entry-level Apple iPhone SE (2022) costs $429 (£419/AU$719) and has a meagre 64GB of storage, while the Google Pixel 6a costs $449 (£399/AU$749) and has a single 128GB storage option.

How to compare mobile devices online and things to consider before choosing the best mobile devices

compare mobile devices

Smartphones have become an important component of our daily life. We use them for communication, photography, cloud storage, internet surfing, and even as a power bank to charge other smartphones.

You can compare mobile phones online with the help of a website or comparing tools.

Here’s a checklist of items to think about before purchasing your next smartphone.

  1. Quality of construction

The durability of a smartphone is determined by its design. The whole handset market is separated into two types of construction: metal and plastic.

There are few with glass-coated panels, but they are few and far between. If you are prone to dropping your smartphone, it is best to choose a metal or plastic-built device.

  1. Display

The size and quality of your smartphone’s display are controlled by how you use it. If you frequently stream videos, edit photographs or videos, or download and watch movies, a smartphone display with a 5.5-inch to 6-inch full-HD or QHD resolution should suffice.

compare mobile devices

 

  1. Processor

The processing capability of a smartphone varies based on numerous aspects such as OS version, UI, bloatware, and others.

If you are a heavy user who needs to edit images/videos/documents online, play demanding games, streams movies, or often use applications in split screen mode, smartphones with Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 or Snapdragon 820/821 should make multitasking easier.

  1. Camera

Simply having further megapixels doesn’t indicate that the smartphone camera is superior. A camera’s orifice, ISO settings, pixel size, autofocus, and other features are also important. A 16MP back camera isn’t always superior to a 12MP camera. The same holds true for the front-facing camera.

  1. Battery

The battery use varies from stoner to stoner grounded on how the smartphone is used. However, plays games, and aqueduct vids, If you’re a heavy stoner who works on applications. However, a handset with a 3000mAh battery will last you a whole day, If you’re an average or light stoner.

  1. Storage

The OS and the apps that come pre-installed on the smartphone consume a significant amount of storage space.

A 16GB/32GB/64GB or more does not always come with the specified amount of space. If you want to keep fewer programs on your devices, 32GB storage is an option.

Apple iPhone 14

The iPhone 14 series, one of the most eagerly awaited mobile gadgets of 2022, will be unveiled by Apple in less than a month. Four products from the Cupertino-based tech titan will be released this year. An iPhone 14, an iPhone 14 Pro, an iPhone 14 Max, and an iPhone 14 Pro Max will be available. A number of individuals have been startled by Apple’s decision to forego releasing an iPhone 14 small.

The 5.4-inch iPhone “mini” form factor was released by Apple with the iPhone 12 series in 2020, and despite the device having many loud advocates and receiving favorable reviews from a number of well-known critics, it just did not generate enough revenue for Apple. The iPhone 12 mini’s poor sales compared to the rest of the iPhone 12 series were instantly apparent.

The iPhone 12 small had only made up 6% of total iPhone sales in the first two months, according to a study from analysts at CIRP at the time. In comparison, sales of the iPhone 12 standard model accounted for 27% of all sales, followed by the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max at 20% apiece.

Apple iPhone 14

In spite of being a member of a flagship series, the analysis discovered that it was underperforming more recent models like the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, and the inexpensive iPhone SE.

iPhone 13 had a comparable tale. It still selling badly even after gaining a much better battery and a lot brighter display. According to a recent CIRP report, just 3% of all iPhone purchases were attributed to the iPhone 13. This was obviously bad news for the products that Apple had the lowest profit margin on among its flagships.

This Apple smartphone is marketed as having a Hexa-core CPU, which will enable you to access several programs and play graphically demanding games without experiencing latency. The device may also have a respectable 3115 mAh battery and the iOS v15 operating system.

Specifications

4 GB RAM, 4 GB CAMERA 6.1 inches, 12 MP + 12 MP Display (15.49 cm) PERFORMANCE, Apple A15 Bionic (5nm)
