Oppo launches smartphone that takes 50MP photos

Chinese smartphone maker Oppo has launched the first smartphone in the world that can capture photos with 50MP resolution.

Though the rear camera of the phone, Oppo Find 7, has resolution of 13MP only, it has a Super Zoom mode that merges 10 photos to create a single 50MP image. Nokia's Lumia 1020 smartphone has a 41MP rear camera but can take photos with maximum resolution of 38MP only.

The smartphone can also capture 4K (movie hall quality) as well as slow-motion (720p at 120fps) videos. It packs a LED flash on the back and a 5MP camera in front.

Another unique feature of Oppo Find 7 is its QHD (or 2K) display panel, offering resolution of 2560x1440p, much higher than the 1920x1080p screens of most smartphones available at present. With screen size of 5.5-inch, the Find 7 has the highest pixel density in the smartphone market with 538 pixels per inch.

Vivo Xplay 3S, launched in December last year, is the only other smartphone to feature a QHD screen. Samsung is also said to be working on a Galaxy S5 variant with QHD screen, rumoured to be unveiled in May this year.

Oppo Find 7 is powered by 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 chipset, which also powers the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2. The phone runs on Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) operating system, with the company's own ColorOS 1.2 on top, and 3GB RAM. It comes with 32GB internal storage, microSD support and 3,000mAh battery.

Oppo says that users can operate the phone with wet hands without any risk of water damage. The phone features a notification strip at the bottom, where it displays incoming calls as well as unread SMSs and emails. The manufacturer has used the VOOC technology in the smartphone, which allows it charge from zero to 75% in 30 minutes.

Apart from the two smartphones, Oppo also unveiled the O-Band wearable device. This gadget can track users' sleeping patterns, record fitness data and send notifications.

Oppo entered the Indian market in January this year, bringing the N1 smartphone with rotating camera to the country at Rs 39,999.

Use Whatsapp on Android? Your chats are not so secure

 If you use WhatsApp on an Android phone, you should be careful about what you talk about or share on the instant messaging app. Using a few scripts and a rogue app, anyone can peer into your chat logs and see what you talk about with your friends.

A Dutch security consultant has found that WhatsApp chat logs saved on the SD card of an Android phone can be read by other apps because of the way Android allows sharing of data between apps.

"The WhatsApp database is saved on the SD card which can be read by any Android application if the user allows it to access the SD card. And since majority of the people allows everything on their Android device, this is not much of a problem," Bas Bosschert wrote on his blog.

"What do we need to steal someone's WhatsApp database? First we need a place to store the database," Bosschert explained. "Next thing we need is an Android application which uploads the WhatsApp database to the website."

When an Android application is installed, whether from the Play store or through an APK file, which is an installer file for Android phones and can be downloaded from various sources, the app requests for permissions to use network and SD card etc.

To explain his hack, Bosschert set up a web server and then created an Android application that required several special permissions on a user's phone. But because Android OS allows applications to access various parts of the phone - this is why users can conveniently share almost everything through any app on Android phone - Bosschert's app had no difficulty gaining access to WhatsApp data.

Bosschert wrote that the code that allows his application to access WhatsApp data and then upload it to his web server can be added to a popular Android app by a rogue developer to fool users and steal WhatsApp chat logs.

The older versions of WhatsApp were so insecure that they didn't even encrypt their data stored on SD card. The data from older versions of whatsApp could be read by anyone once it was uploaded on the web server. Even the data from newer version of WhatsApp, which uses encryption, can be accessed with ease.

"The WhatsAppp database is a SQLite3 database which can be converted to Excel for easier access. Lately WhatsApp is using encryption to encrypt the database, so it can no longer be opened by SQLite. But we can simply decrypt this database using a simple python script. This script converts the crypted database to a plain SQLite3 database," wrote Bosschert. "We can conclude that every application can read the WhatsApp database and it is also possible to read the chats from the encrypted databases."

Bosschert joked, "Facebook didn't need to buy WhatsApp to read your chats."

The security issue apparently doesn't exist on iPhones or Windows Phone devices because on these smartphones, apps have limited access to storage and other phone hardware. The more flexible access to phone hardware allows Android apps to talk to each other and helps a user quickly share content between apps. This is very convenient compared to what is possible on iPhone or Windows Phone, where it is difficult to share content between apps. But it also exposes data to rogue apps.

Google says that it keeps an eye on apps inside its Play store and removes apps if they pose any security risks. But this doesn't negate the fact that theoretically it is possible for a rogue app to do more damage on Android because of the open nature of the OS compared to iOS, which uses silos. Google also advises people against installing apps that don't come through Play store. By default Android phones are set to not install apps downloaded outside the Play store.

How to Download Subtitles Automatically in VLC Media Player

Vlc media player is the best video player for all operating systems with full of codecs which are useful to play any type of audio/video format. Vlc media player is an open source application, so everyone can use it for free of cost. Straight to the point subtitles are useful when you watch non English movies or any other language movies. But you can’t get subtitles for every movie by default in vlc player.

So what to do? Here I show one simple process to download and play subtitles in vlc media player.

Download and Play Subtitles in VLC Player:

Actually there is no default option available to get subtitles when watching movie in vlc player. So here we use one extension to get subtitles for every movie that is Vlsub.
1. First of all you need to download this extension from the below link which is available at videolan official website.
Download Vlsub extension
2. Now extract the zip file of vlsub and copy the vlsub extension.

3. Navigate to vlc installation directory where you install it on your pc. For example
C:Program FilesVideoLANVLClua
4. Now create one folder and named it as “extensions”, paste the vlsub extension into extensions folder.
5. Once you complete this process, simply open your vlc player and go to view menu you will see vlsubextension.

6. Now play any movie and select vlsub extension, it prompts one dialogue box with some options like title, subtitles language etc.

7. You can search for subtitles using two different options search by hash, search by name. If you have hash address then use that one otherwise search using title of the movie.

8. Type the name of the movie in title section and click on search by name button then it shows some results in the below box. Click on Download Selection and close vlsub dialogue box.

9. Now you will see subtitles while playing movie on vlc player.

Troubleshooting Vlsub Extension:

If you use the latest version of the vlc player then you can’t use this extension in your pc because videolan remove lua net module for this release. So you need to use 2.0.8 version to work with this extension or wait for the next release.

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact review: Worthy rival to iPhone

Big screen phones are wonderful. They can double up as a phone and an entertainment device. But what if you don't want a large-screen phone? What if you don't like the large slab of glass pressed against your cheeks when you are making a call on your phone? What if you don't like to carry the phone that barely fits in the pocket of your jeans? What if you have small hands?

You have two options: Buy the top-end iPhone or get one of those Android phones that have smaller screen but boring design, cheap build quality and slow hardware.

Sony is trying to address this problem with its latest phone in the India market. Xperia Z1 Compact - how aptly named, eh - is a small phone but with top-end features and hardware. It is basically, the compact version of quite popular Xperia Z1.

It looks really good; on almost all parameters that matter.

 Build and design
Z1 Compact follows the design adopted by Sony with Xperia Z and Z1. Sony has built Z1 Compact using one-piece aluminium frame. The back cover is topped with glass, which feels really tough.

However, tough or not, glass is glass. If you use Z1 Compact without a cover, it is likely that you will start seeing scratches on it after several weeks of use.

The edges have been rounded in Z1 Compact, which makes it fit really well in hand.

The whole design is very classy. It is minimalistic and looks good, especially because all ports, except the one for 3.5mm jack, are covered with flaps and the metal buttons, including rather prominent (but stylish) round power button.

Under the power button there is the volume rocker and below that a camera shutter release button. The volume buttons are placed too low and are difficult to reach during calls. The camera shutter release button is too small and pressing it makes holding the phone steady while clicking photos difficult. Minor issues but issues nevertheless.

Read ALSO: Now, charge your mobile phone while you walk 

 Z1 Compact is a waterproof phone. This means you can use it in the rain or even take a call with it while you are in a shower. Now we realise that taking calls while you are shower is a bit extreme. But it is undeniable that a waterproof design is incredibly useful in a phone and is a great convenience.



With all the glass, metal and clean lines, Z1 Compact looks and feels really a premium phone. The finishing on this phone is fantastic. Looks are subjective but in our opinion it looks as good as an iPhone 5S and HTC One. As far as iPhone 5C, which has a plastic body and is a direct competitor to this Sony phone, we don't think there is any comparison. Z1 Compact wins hands down.

Display
Z1 Compact has a screen that measures 4.3 inches. The resolution is also lower. Unlike Z1, which has a screen with FullHD (1080P) resolution, Z1 Compact uses a screen with 720P resolution. But what Z1 Compact gives up in quantity, it gains in quality.

Among all Z series phones so far, Z1 Compact has the best screen in terms of how colours it can show. Despite using a TFT panel screen, this phones shows rich and deep colours. Brightness, though, still doesn't match screens on phones like Galaxy S4 or LG G2. This means if you are using Z1 Compact under direct sunlight outdoors, you may find the screen little dim and text may not be legible on it.



The quality of touch response is fantastic. Also, given that it is a smaller screen, we don't miss FullHD resolution on Z1 Compact. In our use we found that it showed crisp text and photos.

Software
Z1 Compact is powered by Android 4.3. Sony is likely to introduce Android 4.4 in Z1 Compact through a software update in April but it doesn't really matter, at least from the perspective of user experience. Sony uses customized version of Android and we don't think users will even notice the difference between Android 4.3 and Android 4.4.

Talking of customizations, Sony's software in Z1 Compact is a mixed bag. The user interface looks good and slick - though not as good as the stock user interface in Android that we see on Nexus 5. Of course, it is all Android. And the level of customization is not as drastic as found on some of the Chinese phones. This means, you can still set home screens, access app drawer and customize Z1 Compact like any other Android phone. Sony's mini apps - they float on the top of the open app in a small window - such as note app and calculator are available on Z1 Compact. These apps are useful.

By default Sony has installed a lot of apps. This is both good and bad. Good because you get apps like Facebook and File Commander preinstalled. Bad because if you want, you cannot uninstall them. Though, you can disable them. Then there are apps like BigFlix, Sony Jive (a rather limited music store for streaming songs), Sony Select (an app store) and WisePilot (a navigation app). We didn't find these apps useful. They just add to the clutter and are unnecessary.

Camera
Z1 Compact has a 20.7MP primary camera. It also has the same large image sensor found inside Z1. Camera is a highlight feature of Z1 Compact and for right reasons. In our use we found Z1 Compact to be a very good shooter. In good light, it captures images that show punchy and accurate colours. The performance of the camera is also very good as it focuses and clicks images fast.

In low light, if you use the default shooting mode and keep the hand still, Z1 Compact clicks impressive photos. Though, it also tends to over process images. But if you are going to use photos on social media sites or on the web, the over processing is not a major concern.



That said, there are two issues. And both are likely related to the camera software. By default, Z1 Compact clicks images in Superior Auto Mode, which means in 8MP size. If you want to click images in 20MP, you have to use Manual mode. Don't worry, it is not the usual manual mode. It is rather Auto mode with access to a few more settings but Sony calls it manual mode. Anyways, that is not the problem. The problem is that in Manual mode, you can't select any 'scene'. The various 'scene' modes like 'night' or 'macro' are only available in Superior Auto.



Also, we found that in some scenes with lots of bright light, images shot with Z1 Compact lacked contrast. This is a minor issue, though.

The performance of primary camera while shooting videos is impressive. The FullHD videos that we shot with Z1 Compact showed clear and sharply-focussed footage. The phone also has the option to capture videos in HDR mode, but we preferred the normal mode. The HDR mode captured deeper colours but also had more noise in videos.
In our use, the 2MP front camera handled the video chats well.

Performance
Z1 Compact is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. It is a top-of-the-line quad-core processor running at 2.2GHz. Z1 also has 2GB RAM. A powerful processor, lots of RAM and optimized software make Z1 Compact a very fast phone.

We did not notice any user interface lag on this phone. It seemed as fast as Nexus 5. And that is saying a lot, considering Nexus 5 is the fastest Android phone out in the market. The device handled web browsing, social media use and multi-tasking with ease. GPS in the phone works well. The device also played most of our 1080P videos with ease. Some video formats that could not be played with default player were handled fine by third-party apps like MX Player.

During calls, we found that Z1 Compact mostly maintained good connectivity. The voice during calls was clear and loud. Speaking of loudness, the speaker in Z1 Compact is very good. It not only produces rich sound - well, as rich as you can realistically expect from a small smartphone - but is also loud enough to be used in a small room for music playback.

Battery life of Z1 Compact is above average. When used with a 3G connection, the device lasted for around 14 hours before its battery drained completely.

Gaming
The graphics processor in Z1 Compact is Adreno 330, which is a very capable chip. The result is that Z1 Compact plays almost games available for an Android phone. Casual games like Angry Birds run smoothly on this phone. Even the demanding games like Asphalt 8 are smooth at their maximum graphics settings.

Verdict
We like Z1 Compact a lot and recommend it even with its rather high price of Rs 36,990 (in market the phone is available for around Rs 35,000).

In the same price, you can buy Xperia Z1, which is almost the same thing with a bigger screen. Or you can get the excellent LG G2 or very good Samsung Galaxy S4, which recently got a massive price cut and is now available for around Rs 30,000. Or you can just pick the Nexus 5, which we believe is the best Android phone, due to its fantastic price of around Rs 29,000.

But all these phones have a big screen and hence a big size, which you may not like. If you want a small and Compact phone but don't want to give up on performance and camera, Z1 Compact is the best package in the market. iPhone 5C is the only competition on this parameter but in our opinion Z1 Compact is a better deal because of the better hardware, superb performance, better design and more premium finish.

Now, charge your mobile phone while you walk

Scientists have developed a new device that can generate electricity from your body movements to power your mobile phone.

The device built by researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology consists of four discs layered on top of one another.

The first disc is made of copper, and rotates. The next is a polymer and remains stationary, and the third is a gold layer that is divided into sectors, with alternating sections cut out, to make something that looks like a bicycle wheel. The last layer is made of acrylic.

When the copper disc rotates, positive charges in the copper move past the negative charges in the polymer. This causes an imbalance of charges in the gold layer, with each "spoke" of gold having either more positive or more negative charges.
The imbalance means that when a wire is connected between sectors, a current flows.

The team led by researcher Zhong Lin Wang said the device can generate power as long as something causes the copper disc to rotate.

The device works on the same principle as static electricity. For example, when you walk on a rug in wool socks, electrons build up in the socks (and in you), and when you touch a metal doorknob, they jump from your finger, making a spark, 'LiveScience' reported.

Wang said the new device is more efficient than a traditional generator, at least for its size.

A generator works by moving either a wire through a magnetic field or a magnetic field over a stationary wire. Either one requires a certain number of turns of wire to make a certain voltage, plus a strong magnet.

However, the device the researchers created can be made thin and flat. The prototype demonstrated by Wang was about 10 centimetres across, and swinging it in the hand generated enough electricity to power a small array of lights, or about 5 volts, which is enough to charge an iPhone.

Wang said the device is 50 times more efficient than a traditional generator of the same size.

The details of the device are published in the journal Nature Communications.
