How to pick a smartphone in 2018


Choosing a smartphone at any time can be a difficult task,and with all the great smartphones coming out in 2018,it makes this task even more difficult. There are those who don't have a problem though;they have sold their souls to Apple  and will continue to buy Apple's products,regardless of the price Apple is asking them to pay. There is also another camp of people that doesn't really care about brand name,provided they get quality. And there's the last camp:their phones are only for calling,texting and occasional browsing. No social media,no games,nothing.
From this simple illustration of people,the way you use your smartphone(or which camp you belong to) can greatly affect your choice of a smartphone. For instance,assuming I'm a heavy user(which I am,by the way),I'd go for a large phone(above 5.5 inches),a crazy good battery (4000mAh+),a meaty processor(Snapdragon 636-845) and of course,a modern screen since this is a 2018 phone we're talking about here. In other words,I'd either go for the Xiaomi redmi Note 5 Pro,Honor 7X,Asus Zenfone 5(Review),the newly launched Xiaomi Mi 6X,or any other great phone launched in 2018 that fits these specs. And for lighter users,the Xiaomi Redmi 5,the Asus Zenfone 5Z or HTC U11 Life.That's how your needs can affect your choice of smartphones.

The first criteria is your user type. For this cause,this post will be divided into two sections
-the section for light users
-the section for heavy users
For light users who don't need a lot of power and battery and use their phones quite casually as in no gaming or streaming netflix,the phones in this list would be cool for them. Phones in that list include the Xiaomi Redmi 5(from 54000 naira on Jumia),the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus(from 60000 naira on Jumia) and some phones from Elephone. Visit Elephone's store on Jumia for some phones.
Huawei has some cool offerings for the light user also,check out their store at Jumia.com.


The second criteria is your budget
If you're on a light budget,you can go for some budget offerings to be found in this link . You could also visit Xiaomi's store on Jumia. They have a large selection on Mi budget phones.
If money is no object for you,then you can buy any of these phones ranging from 300000 naira to half a million naira.(These phones include the iPhone X,Galaxy S8,Huawei P20 Pro,iPhone 8,etc)In recent news,the price of the Galaxy S8 has come down to somewhere around 200000 naira. Visit Jumia's store to find out more.


So,that's it for how to pick a smartphone in 2018. Thanks for stopping by.

How smartphone cameras work

Image
The fact that people take a lot of photos on their smartphone is nothing new. In fact,many manufacturers now make phones which emphasize the camera as the main selling point of the phone. The Infinix Zero 4, Camon CX ,HOT S,many phones from many manufacturers emphasize on taking great shots. But many people do not know how these cameras work. So,I'll explain. There are six basic steps in taking photos on a smartphone camera. They are: 1. The user (or smartphone) focuses on the object. 2. Light enters into the lens.(light is everything on photography) 3. The arpeture controls how much light enters into the lens. 4. The shutter determines how long the sensor is exposed to light 5. The sensor captures the image 6. Post processing takes place in the software of the phone. There may also be some noise reduction. Since most of the machines that do this are relatively simple machines,they all follow the laws of physics. Now,in smartphones,some problems will arise. These problems

iPhone X Hands On :Apple Has Done It!

Image
Predecessor and successor face off (Big thanks to our bosses,Big Tycoon™ for helping us get one. Grateful is an under statement!) The iPhone X was released some days ago. The reason I haven't been posting lately is because I have been working my ASS of to get a copy for you guys. Now I have one,so let's get to this immediately. The iPhone X is nothing like what Apple has ever done before. Apple has finally added wireless charging,and there's an infinity display now. Apple calls the resolution "Super Retina", and it is really cool. It now has deep blacks,and super bright colors. The processor is faster,cameras are better,but there's no Touch ID. In  it's place is a 3D facial recognition which,at the launch failed once. If you didn't watch the launch,and you're an Apple fanboy,<tsk> Okay,there's also no home button.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Review For years,Samsung has been the pinnacle of Android phones ,engaged in an extremely stiff competition with the epitome of smartphone greatness in the sense of the iPhone. For a long time,the iPhone has been the definition of what a smartphone should be,with iPhones starring in commercials,as the template for website performance tests,game tests,celebrities carry them,and this is just to name a few.And Samsung has tried to change this orientation for years.They created their 'S' smartphone variants to take on the Apple flagships and try to push their phones as iPhones with flashier designs and more functions than you could use. They basically made iPhones running Android. And each year,the next
