Unbelievable Whatsapp's new update supports video call.

WhatsApp has rolled out an Olympic emoji to honour the upcoming Summer Olympic Games to be held in Rio de Janeiro. The developer team working behind WhatsApp, on of the most popular and widely used messaging app has constantly been improving the app. They have been working on many features but they continue to improve the unreleased features till they are polished and ready for the real-time.

The most imminent feature to come to WhatsApp is the group invites which looks much more refined and gone is the QR code implementation from the main site page. It’s not confirmed that the QR code implementation of inviting people to public WhatsApp group is completely scrapped but the absence could be a part of much need UI uplift. The feature to doodle and draw on the pictures before sending has also received a UI uplift. The in-development feature looks like Snapchat on demand as people may find the similarities between the two.

In addition to all these hidden features that have been unlocked by WABetaInfo, WABetaInfo has released modules that can help unlock the features for jailbroken iPhones. Android and all non-jailbroken iPhones will have to wait for the official rollout to being. This comes right after the rollout of large single emoji to iOS devices including proper management of text messages including selecting multiple chats at once.

Blu Energy XL phone promises 3 days of battery life for $299

Miami-based smartphone maker Blu, known — like so many companies these days — for producing cheap phones with solid specs, has a new phone out, and it promises something that all smartphone owners crave: decent battery life.
The Blu Energy XL is a 6-inch Android smartphone with a 5,000mAh battery which, while not unheard of (Acer Liquid Zest Plus has one, for example, and the Oukitel K10000 has an insane 10,000mAh battery), is definitely one of the larger batteries we've seen.

A quick comparison to popular phones of today: The iPhone 6S Plus has a 2,750 mAh battery, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has a 3,600mAh battery and Huawei's Mate 8 has a 4,000mAh battery.
But Blu has gone one step beyond even Acer, who promises two days of battery life for the Liquid Zest Plus. The company claims the Blu Energy XL's battery lasts 30 days of stand-by, or up to three days of standard usage.
Three days of usage sounds like a fairy tale in a world where most smartphones don't even last a day. And without testing the Energy XL, we can't really say whether Blu's claims are true or not, but we have an educated guess.
The phone sports a MediaTek MT6753 octa-core chip, which can't compare with top smartphone chips of today but it's not as power-hungry, either. But the phone's screen is a 1,920x1,080 pixel AMOLED — hardly the best option if you want to conserve power. With AMOLED screens, having a dark theme and background conserves energy, so with some optimizations, we can imagine the Blu Energy XL will have a really solid battery life, but three full days still sounds like a stretch.
The rest of the specs are in line with other top smartphones today: 3GB of RAM, 64GB of internal memory, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel selfie-cam.
Here's the other piece of good news: The phone costs $299, unlocked. Unless you must have the phone with the latest and the fastest processor out there, it's a pretty good deal, even without the outrageous battery life claims.
The Blu Energy XL is available exclusively on Amazon, in silver and gold.

Pokémon Go players are turning up in droves at a sex shop

Everyone is obsessing about Pokémon Go, the interactive game that sees users tracking down Pokémon on their mobiles while hanging around their city. 
The app is available in countries like the U.S. and Australia but hasn't made it over to the UK yet. That has not discouraged British gamers who have found inventive ways to download the game.
In the coastal town of Plymouth, hundreds of users are scouting the city in search of Pidgey or Squirtle. Among the businesses that have been turned into "pokestops" is a local sex shop, the Private Shop. 
A member of staff told The Plymouth Herald that people came into the store asking about Pokémon: 
"I have noticed it," they said. "There were a few people last week who came in and they were talking about it.
"They came in and I didn't know what they were talking about, as I'm not really into games."
They remarked that no Pokémon products were available in the shop.
A Facebook group
for Pokémon trainers already gathered more than 600 members since the game's release and an official meetup has been scheduled for this Saturday.

All about The New Pokemon Go

Augmented reality is all the new rage in the town, and everyone wants it. There has been a staggering surge in how Pokémon GO has captured the public imagination with this package. Niantic tried the same formula with its earlier offering, Ingress where players had to go around looking for treasures and capturing portals to create triangles on the maps to make control fields. Even though the game had a dedicated following and a passionate community driving it, the concept was new.
Niantic made a package that has reintroduced the adventure everyone wanted to go on since childhood, the real world. There was no need for the company to conceptualize a new idea and establish it with the users. Instead, they used an established idea, rather a fantasy of children. This was the first implementation of the technology in a long time which brought AR back on the discussion table after all the VR hype. AR was limited to the brief moments of “how cool that concept looks” keeping in mind how Google Glass was pegged by Google. With time, AR grew to “How cool the technology and experience is” with the execution of the concept by Microsoft with Hololens.

Pokémon GO made me give another chance to AR as a technology after all the VR things going around. After using the implementation of both the technologies on my mobile device, I came to the conclusion that AR is here and for the better. There are a lot of reasons for me to call out AR better, and the main thing is affordability. It is AFFORDABLE; you don’t need to break your bank for a good AR experience.

The technology works on existing hardware in addition to previous generation smartphones. You don’t need to spend $600 to $800 to buy an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive in addition to a VR compatible system. Many companies like Asus and Alienware have also come out with VR capable devices that require the user to carry the system in a backpack while costing an easy $1,000 just to experience virtual reality. In the smartphone market, experiencing VR doesn’t sound like an expensive affair but you need to invest in a decent virtual reality headsets which start from Rs 2,500, which again are not impressive. Another factor is the lack of quality of the experience unless your smartphone is equipped with a 2K display. Even with a 2K display, which increases the price of your smartphone,  there is no guarantee  of a complete immersive VR experience.

People around the world waited in line for 13 hours to buy this new phone

It's approaching midnight when the last customer finally scurries out of the door and into the crisp London night. The shop doesn't normally keep such late hours, but tonight is a special occasion.
The customer stands in the dim light outside of the storefront, giddily looking through the contents of his shopping bag, but it doesn't contain a new suit or any other tailored piece of menswear that would typically be sold during the bespoke tailor’s business hours.
It's a smartphone.

Like hundreds of eager Londoners before him, he had to brave a massive crowd that lined several blocks on Brushfield Street since the early hours of the morning in order to get it. Some arrived 13 hours in advance, to be joined later by hundreds of people who anxiously awaited the store opening at 3pm.
Just hours before, the scene looked the same outside of Colette on Rue Saint Honoré in Paris — before that, outside of Firmament on Mitte, Linienstraße in Berlin.
And as the doors of Joshua Kane locked in London, a line started to form outside of Magnum Soho in New York City.
Over the next few days, thousands of fans flocked to the bustling streets of Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore as the anticipation and excitement spilled over to India. Each location had been transformed, for a mere handful of hours, to accommodate the most anticipated smartphone release of the year.
But this phone — the one that compelled fans across the world to travel up to hundreds of miles to eagerly wait for hours on sidewalks — might not be the one you have in mind.

The phone you'll be willing to wait for

On June 14th, OnePlus launched its newest flagship device, the OnePlus 3. The following day, the phone was made available at a series of pop-up stores across the world. Now, for any casual smartphone user, it would be enough to sit back, order the phone online and patiently wait for the new device to arrive at their doorstep days later.
But for the OnePlus community, waiting isn't in the cards.
Eager to scoop up the phone at the first opportunity, rabid technophiles flooded the streets outside each pop-up location in New York, London, Paris and Berlin.
Thousands showed up for the phone's debut, and each store stayed open longer than anticipated in order to meet the demand.
While they were waiting, some OnePlus fans shared why they were so excited for the new phone, and why they keep coming back to the growing tech player.

iphone 7 with a new Ugly Camera>>>See photos

The iPhone 6 and 6S's most hated feature (aside from starting with 16GB of internal storage and the ugly antenna lines) is the protruding camera lens bump.
Fans hoping for Apple to flatten it down so the entire phone is flush on the back again will likely be disappointed when the iPhone 7 launches this year because it's probably not going to happen.

Corroborating previous leaks, the reliable Nowhereelse.fr has obtained an image of what is reportedly the case for the iPhone 7.
The image shows an aluminum body that closely resembles the iPhone 6S, but with re-worked antenna lines and a camera cutout that's significantly larger than the one on the current iPhone 6S.
In other words: OH MY FRICKIN' GOD THAT'S HIDEOUS.
The camera bump, as Apple chief design officer Jony Ive told The New Yorker last year was a "pragmatic optimization." Ive didn't elaborate, but it's clear the image sensor was simply too large to fit into the slim iPhone 6 and 6S's profile.

It's time we get over the camera bump since phone makers are unlikely to make their devices significantly thicker to accommodate better image sensors.

And it looks like the bump will only get bigger for this year's iPhone. A larger camera bump indicates there will be some kind of major camera improvement, which is a great thing. But an improvement doesn't make the bump any prettier. A case, like the many that are available for the iPhone 6 and 6S, will minimize the bump, but from a pure design standpoint, it looks like Apple's going to be making a concession yet again.
Competing devices like Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge also have rather large camera bumps to accommodate their larger and faster camera sensors.

The iPhone 7's larger camera bump might not even be the biggest, ugliest one yet. The larger iPhone 7 Plus is rumored to come with two camera lenses on the back, which means it'll have an even larger and wider camera bump. Double yuck!
At this point, maybe it's time we get over the camera bump. It's clearly here to stay until the image sensors get thinner or phone makers build thicker phones. And knowing Apple, devices almost always get thinner, not thicker.

Here’s why India has been shy of 2-in-1 tablets in 2016

2-in-1 tablets or ‘hybrid’ devices have had a slow growth primarily due to clunky design or inferior hardware that didn’t match up to entry-level notebooks. The onset of the Surface Pro was very crucial as Microsoft proved that a convertible tablet can replace a laptop, well almost. Since then various OEMs have created their own ‘Surface’ devices (even Apple and Google for that matter).
The scenario in India, however, is different as the Surface and similar devices fall in the premium price range. This makes them less accessible to the masses. Local OEMs like Micromax and iBall have tried their hands on creating a budget 2-in-1 tablet, but haven’t been able to intrigue their audience as of yet. Another important Indian OEM is Notion Ink. I say important because the company had a global presence when it announced its first product, the Android based tablet Adam, which was the same time when the Apple iPad started taking over the tablet world. Sure it didn’t go very well and the company got into trouble due to its slow supply chain, and it eventually got support from Microsoft to produce Windows based tablets. In my opinion, it is the only Indian manufacturer that has come close to creating a worthy budget 2-in-1 tablet.
Currently, the company sells a few models under the Cain series and recently introduced a new product called the Able, a sturdy Windows based 2-in-1 which has been designed based on consumer feedback. It is a solid value for money product, but yet again it hasn’t been able to create a buzz.
So why are OEMs not able to attract consumers? Agreed that some of them are not well polished, but devices like the Able are well suited for students and professionals who require a machine that is portable and reliable for everyday tasks. One of the reasons for the slow progress of 2-in-1 devices could be the explosive penetration of smartphones. Consumers have started relying on mobile devices more than the PC since they have become the next big tools of productivity, not to mention the growing size or popularly known as phablets. Another possible reason is Microsoft itself. By creating the Surface Pro, the company has not only set a benchmark but has also raised the expectations of consumers with its high-end features. Sadly that kind of technology is going to take years before it reaches devices in the entry-level or affordable range.
While the country is one of the early adopters of the new technology, but 2016 is not the year of 2-in-1 devices for India overall. Having said that, the coming years will be important as there will be a massive shift wherein consumers will move from large desktops to more portable 2-in-1 PCs.

Robberies and injuries rising in Pokémon GO frenzy

New mobile game Pokemon Go has become an overnight sensation with U.S. fans but also played a role in armed robberies in Missouri, the discovery of a body in Wyoming and minor injuries to fans distracted by the app, officials and news media reported on Monday. The “augmented reality” game based on the 1990s Japanese franchise surged to the top of Apple Inc’s app charts over the weekend. Gamers use their mobile devices to find and capture virtual Pokemon characters such as cuddly yellow Pikachu at various real-life locations.
Five days after its release, the game now is on more Android phones than dating app Tinder, and its rate of daily active users was neck and neck with social network Twitter, according to analytics firm SimilarWeb. Highlighting a dark side to its popularity, the game was used by four teens in Missouri to lure nearly a dozen victims into armed robberies, police and media reports said. Police warned players to be vigilant when using smartphones and other mobile devices to search for characters in the game.

“When you’re involved in a game and not paying attention to what’s going on around you, your situational awareness can go down,” Greensboro, North Carolina police officer Ben Wingfield told local television. Developed by Pokemon Company International, Niantic Inc and Nintendo Co Ltd, the game uses the GPS mapping and camera systems on players’ devices. “We encourage all people playing Pokemon Go to be aware of their surroundings and to play with friends when going to new or unfamiliar places,” Pokemon Company International and Niantic said in an emailed statement.
Police in O’Fallon, a suburb of St. Louis, said they arrested the four teens on Sunday after a robbery victim called police from a convenience store. “Using the geolocation feature of the Pokemon Go app, the robbers were able to anticipate the location and level of seclusion of unwitting victims,” O’Fallon police Sergeant Bill Stringer said in a release. Social media buzzed with reports of players who suffered minor injuries from tripping and falling while glued to their cell phones and minor incidents while driving and looking for Pokemon.
“I catch myself almost walking into things, so I’ve kind of started playing a little bit less in the street,” said Henry Mendez, 32, a parking valet from Los Angeles. The game was the most downloaded free app on Apple’s app store while Nintendo’s shares surged nearly 25 percent for their biggest daily gains in history after Pokemon Go’s takeoff. [nL4N19X16B] Shayla Wiggins, 19, was searching for a water-based Pokemon character near Riverton, Wyoming when she discovered a body near a bridge, where a man is thought to have drowned in shallow water, according to media reports. “I probably would have never went down there if it weren’t for this game,” Wiggins told CNN.

Resturant In Singapore selling a Meal for $2million

If you have an extra $2 million in spare change, you might be keen on this meal in Singapore that bills itself as the "world's most expensive dining experience."
Ce La Vi, on the rooftop of the Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore, is teaming up with Russian diamond company World of Diamonds, to offer the exclusive experience that will last an estimated eight hours, they said in a press release Tuesday.

The two-person package will start with a 45-minute helicopter ride over Singapore, and includes some time in a luxury cruise and a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce ride to Ce La Vi, where the diners will be presented with 10,000 roses and an 18-course meal.
The companies promise that the meal (to be eaten with diamond chopsticks with the diners' names engraved on them) includes all sorts of other decadent elements such as Belon oysters, Almas Caviar — supposedly the most expensive variety — and only 44- and 55-year-old vintage wines.
And at the end of the meal, the couple will be presented with a 2.08 carat blue diamond rose-gold ring that World of Diamonds has named after actress Jane Seymour.

According to Luxury Lifestyle, diamonds this blue have been known to be auctioned at over $2 million, and that it's already received interest from a number of parties, including a royal family.
Karan Tilani, head of Asia for World of Diamonds confirmed to Tech Info that the company had already received "substantial interest" on the ring before the Ce La Vi tie-up.
World of Diamonds unveiled the ring together with the actress in Singapore about three months ago.
The companies have not yet said when the meal will commence, but have noted that interested applicants will be screened, and they will select the lucky duo for this luxurious dining experience.
For now, the two will continue fielding requests from interested parties ahead of a press preview slated for August — no doubt intended to drum up more publicity for the event — at which Ce La Vi and World of Diamonds will present items such as a diamond dessert and the diamond-studded chopsticks.

How Iphone Help This Paratriathlete prepare for Olympics

Katie Kelly's life has always revolved around sport, and living with a disability has not slowed her down.
In her twenties, Kelly was diagnosed with Usher syndrome, a degenerative eye sight and hearing condition. Today at 41, she is aiming for a spot on the Australian team for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio De Janeiro. "I'm a living example that it's never too late to reach your peak," Kelly told Tech Info australia

Working in sports marketing for more than 20 years, she had participated in marathons and Iron Man challenges but remained a "weekend warrior." That changed around 18 months ago when her ophthalmologist confirmed Kelly was now legally blind.

While she had worn a hearing aid since age five, Kelly decided to find out if she could continue to compete in races as a vision-impaired athlete. She was recruited into Australia's elite-para triathlete team and won the 2015 World Triathlon Grand Final in Chicago.
To compete in para triathlons, which include a 750 meter swim, a 20 kilometer ride and a 5 kilometer run, she has been paired with a guide, Michelle Jones, herself an Olympic medalist. The two women are tethered together during the swim, use a tandem bike and then run together.

Next week, Kelly will know if she's been selected for Australia's Paralympic team.

Bringing tech into training

For Kelly, a range of technology has had a significant impact on her training, which takes place two to three times a day in sessions of up to three hours.
Training in Canberra, the iPhone 6+ with its Listen Live function has been a consistent asset. The smartphone feature can be paired via Bluetooth with a hearing aid.
"It's effectively a built-in microphone," Kelly explained. "I've now got a mount on my coach's bike and I put my iPhone on his bike. So if I'm doing sessions where he's guiding me directly in front on the bike and I'm sitting behind him ... it means that when he's talking it goes straight into my hearing aid."
"When I'm just doing sprints around a track, he can actually speak to me through the phone and tell me if I'm meeting the times," she added. Jones can also use Listen Live to communicate with Kelly when they ride together on the tandem bike.

While none of this technology can be used at official races, it acts as an assistant during training for Kelly. She also uses waterproof hearing aids so her coach can speak with her during swim practice. "Again, I can have him talking to me through the phone while I've got my waterproof hearing aids on in the water," she said. "That's even better than a hearing person."
Off the track, she just started using an Apple Watch, which she called a "God send."
"For someone like me, with my sight, it's easy to misplace things," she explained. "Not to have to get my iPhone out, it makes it so much easier to be communicating, talking to Siri and getting messages."
In daily life, other simple smartphone functions are a big help — the iPhone torch, for example. "As soon as it gets dark, I need a torch. Not having to carry a torch and having one through my phone is a big thing," she added.

Improving accessible design

While companies such as Apple work hard at making their technology accessible, Kelly suggested a few tweaks.
When using Listen Live, for example, she suggested it would be useful to have some kind of remote in her hand so she can easily control volume and switch it off or on. "For people with hearing aids, to stop having to take them in and out, that Bluetooth

function is absolutely critical," she said. "To be able to switch from talking to you to hearing what's going on around me, rather than taking my aids in and out all the time."
According to Kelly, it's incumbent on all brands to ask themselves whether a genuine range of people are able to use their products: "This is a product or service we are offering — are we catering for the majority and the minority?" 
"Where we are now with technology, with efficiency, there's no excuse for major brands not be thinking about how everyone can have the opportunity to engage or to use their product," she added.

Making sure everyone can play sport

While training full-time, Kelly has also been working on setting up her own foundation, Sports Access, which aims to remove barriers to sport participation for children with disabilities.
"A lot of progress has be made," she said. "That's not easy, there are a lot of resources involved, but I think increasingly as we've seen more recognition of women in sport, the next stepping stone is more inclusion of people with disabilities."
In her own case, she believes Usher syndrome was ultimately an impetus to success. When she discovered she had the condition and that her eyesight would eventually deteriorate, it gave her immense drive.
"Because of that approach, it's meant that incredible things are happening now in terms of potentially representing Australia in the Paralympics. I could never have imagined that would ever be the case," Kelly added.
"That's the irony of losing my sight, I'm blind enough to compete as a paratriathelete. I think that if you're going to lose it, you might as well use it."
