More on Huawei Enjoy 5.

Huawei has introduced a new smartphone called the Enjoy 5. Priced at RMB 999 (roughly Rs. 10,196), the new Huawei smartphone has been announced for the China market. Huawei hasn’t revealed when the Enjoy 5 phone will be launched in other markets.

The Enjoy 5 is powered by a 4,000 mAh battery, which is said to deliver 10-12 days of standby time. The phone is also capable of reverse charging. Interestingly, the Enjoy 5 manages to weigh about 160 grams despite a large battery. Overall phone measurement is 143.1 x 71.8 x 9.7 mm.
The smartphone has a 5-inch HD display. It runs EMUI 3.0 based on Android Lollipop 5.1 and is powered by a MediaTek MT6735 SoC with quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. The Enjoy 5 features 13-megapixels rear and 5-megapixels front-facing cameras. Other important features of the phone include 16GB built-in storage, expandable storage, dual-SIM and LTE connectivity support.

If launched in India, the Enjoy 5 will be competing against a slew of budget smartphones such as the Asus Zenfone 2, Xioami Mi4i and Moto G third generation. It’s worth pointing out here that Huawei’s Honor 4X has received mostly positive reviews and is one of the best smartphones under Rs. 15,000 in India.

Launch of the Enjoy 5 comes shortly after the company introduced its latest Honor 7 smartphone in India. Priced at Rs. 22,999, the Honor 7 features 5.2-inch full HD display, Kirin 935 octa-core processor, 20-megapixels rear and 8-megapixels front cameras, and 3,100mAh battery. The company also showcased a new wearable Honor Z1 Band in India. The band is priced at Rs. 5,499. Availability details of the wearable hasn’t been provided as yet.

Flexible Camera Developed That Can Be Wrapped Around Objects

A team led by an Indian-origin professor at Columbia University has created a novel sheet camera that can be wrapped around everyday objects to capture images that cannot be taken with one or more conventional cameras. "Cameras today capture the world from essentially a single point in space. While the camera industry has made remarkable progress in shrinking the camera to a tiny device with ever increasing imaging quality, we are exploring a radically different approach to imaging," said Shree K Nayar, computer science professor at Columbia University. "We believe there are numerous applications for cameras that are large in format but very thin and highly flexible," added Nayar who graduated from the Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi, in 1984. Nayar's team designed and fabricated a flexible lens array that adapts its optical properties when the sheet camera is bent. This optical adaptation enables the device to produce high quality images over a wide ...

Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Yahoo back Apple in its fight over encryption with FBI

The nation's leading tech companies joined security experts, independent programmers and civil liberties advocates who filed court papers backing Apple in its fight with the FBI over an encrypted iPhone used by an extremist killer. Several law enforcement groups, meanwhile, filed briefs in support of federal authorities who are seeking Apple's help in hacking an encrypted iPhone used by Syed Farook, one of the San Bernardino mass shooters. These "friend of the court" briefs come in advance of a March 22 hearing in which Apple is asking U.S. Magistrate Sheri Pym to reverse an order requiring Apple to create a software program that overrides iPhone security features. That program would let authorities try to unlock Farook's phone by guessing its passcode; Apple says it would make all other iPhones more vulnerable to future attacks. Relatives of five people who were killed, along with one survivor of the December 2 attack, also filed a brief saying the FBI's ...

Samsung Galaxy S7: 5 Features That Stand Out

Klutzes of the world should rejoice Friday, as Samsung officially starts sales of its new water-resistant Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The phones, which the company first unveiled last month, are now widely available in all their dunkable glory. The latest two Samsung's high-end smartphones are supposed to be able to withstand submersion up to five feet for as long as 30 minutes. So you're in luck if you drop your phone in the drink - as long as you fish it out reasonably fast. Samsung provided me with a review unit of the Galaxy S7, a 5.1-inch smartphone. Once I opened the box, I duly dropped the high-performance, expensive phone into my sink while doing the dishes. Apart from the mild palpitations I gave myself, there was no damage at all. The phone's touchscreen didn't work under water, but it continued on without a hiccup and was unharmed and still working perfectly when I pulled it out. It was just as impressively zippy as ever and no worse for ...
