InFocus launches LED TVs in India at Rs 9,999 onwards

InFocus, which entered the Indian smartphone market last year, has now announced its foray into the home entertainment category with the launch of LED TVs in the country.

The complete range of InFocus LED TVs includes entry-level HD offerings to the full HD variants across 24 inches, 32 inches, 50 inches and 60 inches, which will be available exclusively on Snapdeal from February 29.

The 24-inch model is priced at Rs 9,999, 32-inch at Rs 15,999, 50-inch at Rs 34,999 and 60-inch at Rs 69,999.

The company has also introduced 'Free Demo at Home' initiative, thereby taking the online shopping experience to another level. This service has been launched exclusively with Snapdeal, under which the customer can experience the demo of InFocus 50-inch Full HD TV, at the convenience of their home/office and then decide on the purchase.

Like the InFocus smartphone, their TVs have also been manufactured by Foxconn.

As explained by the companu, the InFocus TVs uses the Smart UV2A technology which is said to eliminate light leakage due to the special pixel structure. "This technology creates low-reflection and balanced brightness by absorbing all unwanted light. It, therefore, helps in protecting the eyes during long TV watching hours and is especially beneficial for kids who are glued to the TV screen for a long time," said the company in a press note.

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 ...
