Not just a matter of waterproof, but also physical endurance smartphone overall, as reported by Cnet.

In addition to durability tests of water, there is also an endurance test dings, shock resistance, and resistance to pressure from other objects.

From the test results, it is evident that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge still function after plunged into the water with a depth of 1.5 meters within 30 minutes. But, after the phone is removed, the audio so the much fainter.

Apple iPhone 6S also showed a similar performance. In fact, during this time Apple never tout the ability of water resistance on the flagship.

Unlike the case with the iPhone 6S Plus. Variants with such a large screen can not stand for long plunged into the water. In less than 30 minutes, the iPhone 6S Plus is already "dead".

Despite winning to water resistance, S7 and S7 Edge Galaxy could not survive as well as the iPhone in terms of physical fitness on dings and shock. Based on testing, most powerful iPhone screen 6S, followed by the iPhone 6S Plus.

With this, it is arguably the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge suited to accompany its wet.

How to Enabling 60 fps Video Recording on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

2015-02-25T00:30:00.000-08:00

ilounge.com

The ability to record video at a higher frame rate is one of the less publicized features of Apple’s latest pair of iPhone models — 60 frames per second. By default, however, Apple chose to leave this feature disabled, so unless you’ve dug into your iPhone Settings app and found it already, you’ll still be shooting video at the same old 30fps rate used by the iPhone since video recording first debuted with the 3GS. A quick trip to Settings, Photos & Camera will reveal the “Record Videos at 60 FPS” setting. Toggle this on and you’ll be recording buttery smooth HD videos in no time at all.

Of course, with greater frame rates comes greater file sizes — if you’re recording twice as many frames, you’ll end up with videos twice as large. You’ll have to decide whether the increased frame rate is worth the extra storage, although that will likely be less of a concern if you’re sporting a 128GB iPhone, and with the full release of iCloud Photo Library on the horizon, offloading large videos to iCloud becomes an option as well.

How to charge smartphone correctly

2015-02-22T19:49:00.002-08:00

The smartphone can be used to help to do many things, ranging from checking e-mail, read news, photographing, until the activity with a variety of social media and instant messaging. Unfortunately, with many functions, battery life is still an obstacle.

On average smartphone today have a life of 4-5 hours if used intensely. Surely the time is not enough to accompany its activities all day. Here are some tips to charge the smartphone is good and right that the battery can be long-lived.

Do not let to run out the total

Many say that the smartphone battery should be allowed to run out first before recharging. It was true, but it is only for batteries with nickel, which is now becoming obsolete, so the above advice is not relevant. Smartphone-modern smartphones are now using lithium-ion battery material, which means the treatment was also different from the nickel battery materials. Should be kept to a smartphone battery power stored in it remained above 50 percent, or at least 20 percent. However, occasionally the battery also needs to be "topped up" until exhausted, for example, once a month for calibration purposes.

Do not "in-charge" overnight

The habit of letting the battery connected to the charger all night as he left the bed also was not good. Although some of the charger can be cut off electrical current when power is 100 percent occupied, let the battery always be 100 per cent occupancy is also not good. Charge the battery until fully charged briefly as many times even better for health than the battery is left in a state of zero percent or 100 percent on an ongoing basis. Lithium batteries are also vulnerable if left often run out of power because the battery also has a component that can be used to damage the battery itself to prevent the battery does not explode. Although not happen every day, users must be alert.

Avoid hot spot

Avoid smartphone from hot places, such as on the dashboard of the car under the windscreen, though the smartphone are switched off once. Therefore, exposure to heat can damage the battery. Lithium batteries are ideally stored in a temperature of 15 degrees celsius. Temperature extremes that can be handled is between minus 40 to 50 degrees celsius.

Charge directly into the electrical socket

Connect the battery to the charger through the power socket is the most recommended. Although today introduced a method for wireless recharging the battery, the method also produces heat which is not good for the battery. Method of connecting the charger to the power socket is also faster and safer when compared to connect the smartphone to a computer or laptop using a USB data cable / charger.

The Reason? Until now, Apple does not ever mention the exact reason. Most likely, Apple took the decision removal capacity purely as a business strategy alone. If the options 32 GB is not disappearing, perhaps, the 16 GB version will not be so sold. Of course, more users want to choose a sufficient capacity, not too big and not too small, which is 32 GB.

Threema Instant Messaging Application for Smartphones

2014-02-20T18:56:00.003-08:00

Threema is an instant messaging application for smartphones. Until now it is available for iOS and Android devices. In addition to text messaging, users can send each other images, videos and locations. A group chat and a multiple device support are already in development and will be published in a later version.Threema is a Swiss product. All servers are located in Switzerland.

Security

According to its developer, Threema use a 255 bit long asymmetric Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) which is comparable to 2048 bit RSA. This key is used to derive a unique 256 bit symmetric key for every single message that is sent. The XSalsa20 stream cipher encrypts the message. Moreover the communication between the server and the device is also encrypted. A 128 bit message authentication code is added to the message to detect manipulations, as well as a random amount of "cryptographic padding" to prevent inferences or changes being made to the content of the message.
Because Threema is a closed source proprietary application, it is not possible to verify whether the claimed encryption standards are properly used and well implemented. Furthermore, it can not be verified if the product is free of intentional or accidental security flaws. Attempting to reverse engineer the software is illegal.
However, the manufacturer offers interested parties a way to verify the encryption by logging the raw encrypted message to a log file. Using the sender's public key and the recipient's private key, the encryption can be tested by a program that is supplied in source code form.

Usability

On the first start of Threema, the user has to create his own keys by moving his finger on the display. The mobile phone can be linked with the phone number and the user's e-mail address. Next to every contact is a verification level, symbolized by three dots. It indicates the degree of confidence that a stored public key really belongs to the contact. This is independent of the encryption strength. Without checking the public key, a Man-in-the-Middle attack can not be excluded.

One dot colored (red): The ID and the public key were delivered by the server, there is no match with the address book and the user can't be sure that the person is who it claims to be.
Two dots colored (orange): The phone number or e-mail address of the contact was found in the address book. The user can be pretty sure that the person is who it claims to be.
Three dots colored (green): The ID and the public key were checked by scanning the contact's QR code. Except that the device has been hacked, the user can be sure that the person is who it claims to be.

Privacy

Threema offers the possibility to synchronize the contacts. Instead of uploading the whole contact the application sends a Hash to the server to check if there is a suitable user which is already in your contact list. After this comparison the Hashes will be deleted. In addition, all messages will be erased after their successful delivery. During this time they are only stored in the RAM.
