The laptop can be used in four different modes- laptop, stand, tent, and tablet. Lenovo claims the Yoga 900 comes with an improved battery life with 50 per cent greater battery density that allows it to offer up to 9 hours of local video playback.

On the audio front, the device comes with JBL stereo speakers with Dolby DS 1.0 for better entertainment experience.

Other than the Yoga 900 hybrid laptop, Lenovo also launched its Yoga Tab 3 Pro, touted to be world’s smallest home theatre. The tablet comes with a 178 cm display that offers home theatre-like experience to users while watching movies, playing games or browsing the web.

It comes with an optimised projector which is 180-degree rotatable and can beam life-sized images on wall or ceiling. The QHD display further offers 299ppi resolution and richer colours with its Smart Display technology.

As the Yoga Tab 3 Pro comes with an inbuilt JBL sound bar and Dolby Atmos technology, users can have a cinematic experience without headphones. The tablet is said to come with an all-day battery life.

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...

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 ...
