07/05/2019


Huawei team officially launched the P30 model at an event in Paris on 26th March. In India, the official launching is expected to be in May 2019. Huawei P30 is a great option with its stunning design and one of the best camera with incredible zoom option and night mode that most of the other smartphones in the same range could only dream of. It comes with a big display (small notch),slim body, and some lovely colourful finishes.

Huawei P30 Key Specifications:

• Android Pie 9.1 + EMUI 9.1
• 6.1in 2340x1080, 19.5:9 OLED display, 422ppi
• Kirin 980 octa-core processor
• Mali-G76 GPU
• 6GB RAM / 128GB storage
• Cameras: 40Mp with OIS + 8Mp telephoto (3x) + 16Mp ultra-wide
• Front camera: 32Mp, f/2.0
• GPS + Glonass
• 4G LTE
• 3650mAh battery
• USB-C SuperCharge 22.5W
• IP53 rating
• Colours: Breathing Crystal, Amber Sunrise, Aurora, Pearl White, Black

Huawei P30 Design & Display: The smaller & slimmer model

• 6.1 inch OLED FullView Display, FHD+(2340x1080) resolution
• Colour: Breathing Crystal, Amber Sunrise, Aurora, Pearl White, Black.
• 3.5mm headphone jack
• On-screen fingerprint scanner
• IP53- dust and waterproof
• Teardrop notch

P30 got a higher pixel density that looks great as it's squeezed into a smaller scale. Even though it is small and a natural fit in the hand, it found harder to type with the default keyboard setup. The dewdrop notch on the top of the screen embodies a new idea for the series. The P30 includes a conventional earpiece speaker placed at the top of the screen that breaks the lip of the design. The on-screen fingerprint scanner is easy to register, quick and accurate to login. The removal of the physical space allows P30 to be more screen dominant.
This model comes with a 6.1 OLED display with a resolution of 2340x1080. The display cant match with the 4K displays but still it's above the regular HD. When compared to other displays, the colours are slightly muted and even miss a bit of vibrancy. This model holds IP53, which is limited dust protection, and water splashes, but this doesn't mean you can put it under water.

Huawei P30 Cameras:

• Leica Triple Camera with super sensing main sensor
• Three cameras with OIS - Optical Image Stabilisation
• 8MP, 3 x optical zoom, f/2.4
• Main: 40MP, 27mm, f/1.8

• Selfie Camera: 32 MP

P30 camera comes with one wide-angle lens, one ultra-high resolution sensor with a conventional 27mm equivalent lens, and a 3x optical zoom optic. The Super Sensing sensor is entirely different from conventional sensors. Huawei comes with a red, yellow, blue, yellow (RYBY) array as the yellow light frequency is more sensitive and can capture a lot of information for a more detailed result. The image captured with P30 is a bit overexcited with over-sharpening details and over-saturating colours. If you focus on taking photos in auto mode for sharing on social media,then p30 is more than good enough. The camera captures more light and improves low-light photography. Overall Huawei P30’s camera is excellent.

Huawei P30 Battery:

• 3,650mAh battery
• Huawei’s SuperCharge fast-charging

The Huawei P30 comes with 3,650mAh battery pack, which is enough through out a day of moderate to heavy usage. We could play games, listen to music, watch videos, and more where the battery wouldn't drop too low. Based on the Techradar battery test, upon playing a 90 min video in its full brightness and at the same time the accounts synced over Wi-Fi, the charge just dropped 7% which is the best result that has ever seen. This model also supports fast-charging.

Huawei P30 Performance:

• Processor: Kirin 980, 6GB RAM
• Battery-3650mAh, fast-charging (22.5W)
• No wireless charging
• EMUI 9.1 software skin on Android Pie

Huawei P30 is powered by Huawei’s Kirin 980 CPU and a 6GB RAM that offers great performance and can surely handle high-fidelity games. This model holds a cooling system which is surprisingly effective. The Apps opens in milliseconds, and menus scroll smoothly. The Emotion User Interface (EMUI) has long pushed adopting a slightly updated version, EMUI 9.1, built over Google's Android Pie 9 OS. It is in a place where customers find this offering and accept its customizations.The charging is fairly quick but it won't support wireless charging. The battery is commendable given its capacity. This model charges fast enough and for most of the customers, wireless charging isn't essential.

Summary

Overall, Huawei P30 is a well designed pocketable model with a great camera solution. This might be a better purchase option and a perfect match for the customers on account of its lower price point.

WHY SMARTPHONES OVERHEAT AND HOW TO OVERCOME IT?
27/04/2019


We use our smartphones and accessories to perform various tasks such as taking photos, connecting with our family and friends, reading news, playing music, watching videos, sending emails, doing some quick work and the basic function of making calls. Thus mobile phones play a vital role in our day to day life.

At times, you may have noticed that your phones get overheat. There are multiple causes for this and this is a problem that needs to be fixed soon as constant/continuous overheat can cause the phone to be damaged permanently. But hey, do not worry! There are a wide variety of ways to prevent the mobile phones from getting overheating.

So here are the main causes of mobile phones overheating:

1. Overcharging

One of the main reasons for overheating is by charging your phone for long. You can see a message "Phone sufficiently charged please unplug” on the screen that pops up when the charging reached 100%. If not unplugged even after a long time, then it becomes hotter that can wreak havoc on your smartphone. A low-quality charger can also create overheating issues.

2. Low-quality charger and/or cable

Always use the branded charger and cable provided along with your mobile phone to charge it. If it's become faulty, make sure you buy the genuine charger and/or cable. Using a duplicate charger and/or cable is dangerous as it can cause the mobile phone to overheat and even blast in the worst case.

3. Using Incompatible charger

Most people use charger of other mobile phones without realising that the charger is not compatible with the phone. If the cable connector of a charger can match your mobile phone, it doesn't mean the charger is compatible. Always use the charger provided along with the phone. If it's necessary to use some other charger, make sure the output voltage and current match with your mobile and the charger doesn't have any extra feature that your phone doesn't support.

4. Infected by a Virus

If your phone lacks a good anti-virus software, you could be attacked by a hidden malware which causes over-heating. To overcome this, download apps only from the trusted sources, and periodically scan your phone with a good anti-virus app.

5. Suffocating mobile phone cases

Many fancy phone cases are available in the market that makes your phone looks good. But some of these cases could make your phone suffocating from inside making it no space to breathe. Try to avoid such cases and go for branded mobile phone cases which is available for all almost all models.

6. Apps running in the background

Now, the apps are great at multitasking that runs many programs at once. If you are using applications that have many background tasks, then these apps can heat up your phone without even using it.

7. Over usage of mobile phones

Adjusting your mobile phone usage at a comfortable level is not only harmless for your phone, but it is good for your eyes too. More the mobile phone usage, more the heating and battery issues. So adjust your mobile usage to a healthy level today itself. Also, make sure the screen brightness of your mobile is at the optimum level. It's recommended to buy a mobile phone that has an auto brightness adjustment feature.

How to Prevent Your Phone From Overheating issues

• Do not overcharge
• Do not use low quality or incompatible charger/cable
• Do not use suffocating cases
• Reboot your mobile phone once in every 3 days if it has been running straight.
• Avoid direct sunlight
• Reduce the use of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. Use only when needed.
• Download apps only from trusted sources.
• Limit mobile phone usage at a comfortable level.

Preventing overheating of your phone also helps its battery live longer. If your mobile gets overheat at any time, shut down your mobile phone, allow it to rest for some time (until the temperature has come down) and start it back. As a safety feature, both phones and tablets are designed to shut down in extreme temperatures. All you need is to wait until it gets recovered from high temperature to put the above into practice.
