What Really happened to the Galaxy Note 7.

The Truth About The Galaxy Note 7

The Galaxy Note 7 was launched on 19th August of 2016. It was the much awaited successor to the Galaxy Note 5. It came with a better stylus and a curved screen. It was initially reviewed as a Great device

But, after a few days a device blew up. People thought that it was a minor problem and samsung reacted instantly by recalling the device instantly. Then, few other devices blew up and became known as a fiasco and tarnished the image of Samsung. Samsung immediately replaced all existing Note 7 devices and people thought that it was all over, but the replacements started blowing up and the device was banned in most major airlines and Samsung's reputation took a great dip. Samsung eventually cancelled the device and the device was shunned from the Samsung Reason. But what was the reason for this problem?

The reason for the explosions was later revealed to be caused due to cramming of the battery within the module of the phone. When the battery got heated due to lack of space heat increased and the lithium-ion batteries had less space for dispersion of heat, they caught on fire. In future phones they included a smaller battery so that no problem occurs and Samsung's image does not get Tarnished. This was the reason for the Note 7 explosions.

The story behind Samsung is quite interesting. The company was formed way back in 1939 as a trading store, which is around 6 decades before smartphones started catching. During the late 1960s, the brand moved on to create it’s electronics division, dubbed “Samsung Electronics”. This was the beginning of one of the largest electronics companies in the world. During the 1970s, the electronics division began exporting home electronic products all over the world. The Beginning of the Note Image Credits : Android Central Fast forward to 30 years later and cue the Samsung Galaxy series of smartphones.

Dear Realme "You Need To Slow Down"

Realme Narzo Series “Dear Realme- Stop IT!!!” The Realme Narzo series was recently introduced In India and it is supposedly launched for those who are performance driven and is basically tailored around millennials, but it seems that Realme is so lost with it’s new X3 Zoom and the 60x milky way option, that they evidently found extraterrestrial life and have made the Narzo series for the inhabitants of Mars, because if this is what Realme thinks the millennials want which is basically rebranded expensive junk then in that world, the Essential Ph-1 was a success!.

Xiaomi Might be the Next Apple, Here's Why

Xiaomi as a brand has been the cause for change in the Indian smartphone market. The price-competitive devices that we have in the market today exist because of one and, only one reason. This reason is Redmi. Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi freed the consumer from the shackles of devices from the likes of Lava, Micromax, Karbonn and more, who offered cheap devices but lacked certain basics of a smartphone that enhanced the usability aspect. The disrupter, the Redmi Note 3. In 2015, the usual smartphone was a run of the mill Micromax with a cheap plastic build, lacklustre specifications and poor quality cameras. To add to this, the basics of a smartphone such as a good display, a simple, easy to use UI were found in a handful of phones. Then, came the Redmi Note 3. The device shook up the market in such a manner, that Micromax had to take a leave of absence and return back in 2020, without the glory of it’s former, shady past. The Redmi Note 3 offered a huge display, a good set of ...

Google Pixel 3a XL

Google Pixel 3a XL Today is a special day for my blog as this is the 100th blog. So,for this special occasion I am reviewing a device which is wildly under appreciated and one which has actually helped Google a lot even though it may not seem so. Design The Pixel 3a XL comes with a design similar to the Pixel 3 with the same design but with a simple difference in the build material. In this device, instead of glass, polycarbonate has been used for obvious cost cutting, but this has made the device appear the same but with increased durability. Display The Pixel 3a XL comes with a 6 inch OLED Display which is a bit refreshing due to a change in the display size. The display has a resolution of FHD+ and is protected by Dragonglass. The device however has a problem as there is a thick chin and top bezel present, however for the price, some things are necessary. Performance The Pixel 3a XL comes with the Snapdragon 670 processor which is...

Motorola Edge+ "Bye Moto"

Motorola Edge+ Motorola recently introduced the Motorola Edge+ in the Indian market for a staggering price of 75k INR. This is also Motorola’s newest flagship entrant and the last Motorola flagship was launched in 2016, so does this mean that Motorola is too late or is this just enough to make a difference? This is what is going to be elaborated in this article. Do note this is not any kind of a review, it is more of a brief overview of the specifications of the device mentioned above. Design The Motorola Edge does not bring a major difference in terms of it’s design to the market in general. It is a rather conservative design with the exception of the curved display which used to be a trait of Samsung flagships but is now no longer viable for the market in general. Why was this so? The major reason for this was the fact that the curved display resulted in a host of issues including but not limited to accidental touches, irregular placement of power and volume rockers to name a f...
