Dell UltraSharp 4K webcam: Worth the Hype?!

-
Image
Ever since Dell launched their UltraSharp 4K webcam a few weeks ago , I've been on the lookout for some better alternatives, if there are any.| Like, I wasn't so sure that this 4K camera would live up to its hype. But I found that after looking around, yeah! This indeed is an industry-leading standard in webcams as of now. No other 4K camera in the market seems to match the contrast and the HDR quality that this thing offers. And not to mention all the cool software tricks that it has, like the AI reframing. There are a few downsides though! Some early adopters of this camera have reported that it gets a little hot after using it for a while. While that isn't ideal, I wasn't surprised to hear that; because 4K is a lot of resolution to be handled for an image sensor. And besides, the camera has a top-notch dynamic range and great low-light performance. Even better than the industry standards like the Logitech Brio. The second downside would be that this doesn't have

Xiaomi Unveils Quad-Curved Waterfall Display Concept!

  When early adopters of curved smartphone displays, like Samsung, are moving back to a more traditional 2.5D flattened screen design, other players like Oppo and Xiaomi seem to have taken a keen interest in it.   Oppo had revealed their extremely curved waterfall display a couple of months ago, and now, Xiaomi has decided to take it up a notch, with a four-sided curved screen phone concept! They're calling this a Quad-Curved Waterfall Display; a rather lazy and lengthy name. But the showcase video seems pretty far from a cheesy CG render.     The phone in question doesn't have a name yet, but the display tech is very much a manufacturable reality. Xiaomi has also written a detailed article on their blog describing the complex methods employed in making such an extreme curved edge, and their vision of this button-less, port-less phone being the future,   "Unibody no-port design, a new direction for future smartphones"   Xiaomi firmly believes that Apple's ea

Are Old Flagship phones worth it? Samsung Galaxy Note 9 - 2021 Revisit

-

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was an amazing smartphone back in 2018. It improved upon pretty much everything that the cautiously launched Note 8 lacked; A bigger battery, way better (stereo) speakers, Better performance, and of course, improved cameras. I am one of the many users who still own and swear by their Note 9 even as we start marching through 2021. That made me wonder, perhaps a revisit or re-review of sorts is an order for my trusty Note, 2 something years after its launch.    Should you buy an older flagship in 2021? let's take a look at how the Note 9 has aged.   The physical build is probably the least affected one here. The metal frame has a few scratches and so does the display; general wear and tear of sorts. Nothing out of the ordinary to report.   The beautiful 1440p QHD+ AMOLED Display, despite physically being at "only" 60 Hz, due to faster animations on Sammy's new One UI 2.5 software skin, feel like almost 90 Hz.      The new UI also brings

The former of which has already launched its product into the mainstream consumer market, though it's strictly placed in the ultra-premium segment at the moment.
