Future Of Pixel - Agreement Between HTC And Google Announced

HTC and Google have officially announced that the companies have reached a deal. Google will pay HTC $1.1 billion in cash in exchange for some of its employees and Google will have access to HTC’s intellectual property. So what does this mean for the future HTC and the Pixel lineup?

Certain HTC employees, many of which are currently working with Google to develop the Pixel phones, will join Google. In addition, Google will receive a non-exclusive license for HTC’s intellectual property. This means that Google will have access to HTC’s manufacturing patents and designs for its future Pixel devices.


The transaction will help HTC to excel with its upcoming flagship smartphone (which is already being worked on), and HTC will continue to expand its VIVE VR platform as well as invest in IoT, AR, and AI.

In turn, this shows Google’s commitment to the future of the Pixel lineup, and the deal will help to strengthen and streamline the Google Pixel portfolio. The transaction also introduces Google to a new technology hub in HTC’s home country of Taiwan.

The transaction is still waiting to be approved by regulatory officials as per usual, and is expected to complete in early 2018.

This is a huge step for Google in solidifying its foundation of building its own hardware and a firm first step into 2018 for HTC.

The Principle About Bluetooth 5.0 - Explained

Image
Bluetooth is one of those pieces of tech that we now take for granted. Ever since its introduction in the mid- 1990s it has become an essential wireless technology , not only for smartphones but also for tablets, laptops, desktops, and more. Bluetooth comes in two flavors: “Classic” and “Low Energy” . The former is the Bluetooth that enables our wireless keyboards and mice, along with wireless headsets and speakers. The latter, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) uses a lot less power and is designed for areas like health care, fitness, and beacons. That’s why wearables like the Fitbit Charge 2 use BLE rather than Bluetooth Classic . Bluetooth.  Last summer, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG) announced Bluetooth 5 . Since then the new specification has been officially published and the technology is starting to appear in development boards and consumer gadgets, most notably the Galaxy S8 . The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are the first smartphones to su

India, The Apparent Land Of kamasutra - Becomes The hird-highest visitors of Porn Hub

Image
Indians now account for the third-highest chunk of visitors to Pornhub thanks to falling data pack rates of Mukesh Ambani’s Jio When you think of India, the image that generally comes up in the mind is a deeply conservative society which has lots of taboos about sex. Well, it seems that with falling mobile Internet prices, Indians too are shedding their conservative outlook and visiting the world’s most popular adult entertainment website in droves. Yes, Indians are now the third largest visitors to Pornhub ahead of many European countries. And all this is thanks to Mukesh Ambani and his Jio mobile network which is offering Internet data pack to Indians at lowest rates in the world (Jio is offering hi-speed 4G 1GB data a day to Indians for as low as 0.08 cents). This has enabled the poorest of the poor to join the data pack bandwagon in India and Pornhub seems to be one of the major beneficiaries. Jio has in many ways started a digital revolution in India because it is giving 1G

Google Tez, Digital Payment App 'Made for India' - Everything You Should Know Before Using It.

Image
On Monday, Google has jumped into the crowded and fiercely competitive digital payments space in India , and launched a new digital payments app – Tez . Tez , which means ‘fast’ in Hindi, is a UPI-based app that can be used for online transactions, as well as paying offline at stores.  This is a payment app and with it Google joins India's growing e-payment market which is currently ruled by the likes of BHIM , Paytm , Freecharge , PhonePe and Mobikwik . Although it might be tempting to say that the Tez is yet another payment app at a time when so many companies, as well as government organisations, are trying to ride the cashless wave, it is special. No speciality is not exactly in its functionality. It has some unique features but then all payment apps have that unique edge. The big deal with the Tez is that it is a Google app and it has the full force of Google's money and resources behind it.  Google Tez UPI (Unified Payments Interface) was launched by Nat
