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.

Virtual reality set to transform filmmaking

Chris Milk stepped onto a TED Conference stage and took the audience on an awe-inducing trip into the future of movies. While much of the early attention on virtual reality has focused on use of the immersive technology in video games, Milk and his US startup Vrse are using it to transform storytelling and filmgoing. "We have just started to scratch the surface of the true power of virtual reality," Milk said. "It's not a video game peripheral. It connects humans to other humans in a profound way... I think virtual reality has the potential to actually change the world." He had everyone in the Vancouver audience at TED , which ended Friday, hold Google Cardboard viewers to their eyes for what was billed as the world's collective virtual reality experience. Google Cardboard gear is literally that -- cardboard

Explained: Camera Improvements in the New HTC 10

With the HTC 10, the Taiwanese company is promising to undo the past wrongs in the cameras of its previous flagship phones. The camera has long a weak point in HTC devices. At first, HTC sacrificed image resolution in the M8 and made the size of individual pixels larger to capture more light (what HTC called Ultrapixel). But the resulting 4 megapixel images were often fuzzy, especially when cropped or enlarged. To fix the issue, in its next flagship - the M9 - HTC went with smaller individual pixels in a 20-megapixel camera last year, but it still underperformed in extreme situations, such as indoors and close-ups. In the HTC 10, the company attempts to strike a balance with larger individual pixels (1.55µm), but not as large as before and a 12 megapixel sensor in its camera coupled with a ƒ/1.8 lens. HTC accepts that in the imaging performance in the M9 was not up to the kind of spec of what they really like to see in a flagship. HTC is giving a slight boost to the selfi...

The company has now confirmed that it has not sent out the payment emails to anyone else who registered - "we were working out details of cash on delivery, which we are announcing now, so we will be sending emails to the first 2.5...
