In OnePlus still the flagship killer?

OnePlus 5 has been out for a while now. Two of our users have reported it to be the 'coolest thing on this side of an iPhone'. And considering the price bracket, it probably is.

One complaint some people have mentioned on the forums is an occasional 'jelly-like' effect as you scroll. OnePlus states all its components are made of the highest quality materials.

The Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 and Adreno 540 offers incredibly fast performance and the 3300 mAh battery provides an 18 hour usage or more than a day of regular operation.

It also comes with one of the best cameras on the market. Dual main cameras of 16 MP f/1.7, 24mm and 20 MP, f/2.6, 36mm. Those two cameras are now standard fare to get that all important Instagram friendly "bokeh" effect created from a shallow depth of field.

It's unfortunately not the killer budget deal it used to be. It's still cheaper, but starting to close the margin with others. A 64GB/6GB RAM costs $479 online and a 128GB/8GB RAM is $539. Compare that to an unlocked S8 at more than $650.

Daimler making buses that try to prevent crashing

Buses in Bangladesh are a vehicle of our nightmares considering the regular crash tests they perform on unwilling road users. Daimler makes buses (surprise?) and starting next year, their buses will be equipped with Active Brake Assist 4 (ABA 4) for its Mercedes-Benz (we have those) and Setra buses. It uses long and short range radar to detect pedestrians and other vehicles. It's a feature now almost standard on many high-end and luxury vehicles. It can gauge objects 250 meters away. The short range radar can detect people in less than 70including people moving around the front corner. What Bangladesh needs is a complete stop; no matter how fast the driver wants to go.

Ransomware protection from Microsoft

This year the biggest growing threat to your data security is ransomware where your data is literally held hostage till you pay. Come September, Microsoft is planning to add new security updates to Windows 10. It features a new option where you can control the access to your folders by apps. This way you can prevent selected apps from accessing your personal files.

June 29, 2007 saw the release of the first iPhone.

Steve Jobs considered it to be a device 5 years ahead of its time. Ten years later, Apple has sold more than 1.2 billion iPhones.

Social media is now primarily accessed through mobile devices and the shift is continuing. According to Facebook, roughly 84 percent of its $6.82 billion in ad revenue came from mobile ads.

Facebook now has over 2 billion monthly active users up from 1.94 billion in May.
