Moto Z and Moto Z Force



The new trend of modular smartphones has begun to flourish in the global market from the release of LG G5 in February 2016 to the 2 new smartphones announced by Lenovo named as 'Motorola Moto Z' and 'Motorola Moto Z Force' which are much more modular than the LG G5. After the unveil of these smartphones a day before yesterday I thought to take some time and research about the same. The pricing of these is said to start from $499 and will be available to consumers from September 2016. The 16 dots on the rear bottom of the device connects different types of mods made by different developers in the name of 'Moto mods'. There were 4 different mods shown by the company at the launch named as 'Style shell, Power shell, JBL SoundBoost, Insta Share Projector'. There's also a concept of Virtual Keyboard mod in the future for these devices. There will also be more mods available in the future since developers are working on it to provide the best experience to the users. Let me tell you in brief about these 4 mods:-



1. Style shell- These are the normal back covers with different textures to make the users feel of wooden, leather, etc. and feel good in hand.
2. Power shell- This mod provides extra power of 2200mAH which adds to the existing 2600mAh in Moto Z or 3500mAh in Moto Z Force. After the battery dies, the mod can be charged by the phone's charger when plugged in.
3. JBL SoundBoost- This mod boots up the power of the speaker present with its own speaker providing better soumd quality even at noisy places.
4. Insta Share Projector- This mod is the most stunning one from the all of the above mods as it provides facility to instantly project the device's screen on the wall upto 70 inches. Also it provides additional battery life upto 1 hour of projection but after the battery dies it will run from the phone's battery.

Now let's discuss about the features of these 2 devices. The features are mostly identical to each other but with minor changes. Let's see them below:-

Google Calculator's most awaited feature..

Google Calculator is one of the most loved calculators by us. It provides instant result to the mathematical operations as well as its available on almost all stock Android devices. This wasn't perfect as a calculator though. Why? It did not have 'show history' feature as most of other calculators had. This was a big problem to be looked into as it was the most essential feature for every user. And it was easiest feature Google could add in it's app. Yet Google wasn't seem to be looking into it and this resulted in bad reviews on play store. But on Jan 11, 2017; this feature was added by Google and now the operation history in the app can be seen by swiping down from the top. Also another feature which was needed to be added was MS, MR, M+, M-. The MS (Memory Store) button copies the number from the screen to the memory. The MR (Memory Recall) button brings the memory value back to the screen. M+ and M- add or subtract the screen value from the memory val...

Best Stock Management Software for FREE

So, are you looking for FREE Stock Management Software online? Even my friend was looking for the same until he discussed me if I could make it for him. Why? There weren’t many options available for the requirements he had for his Business. He needed a solution in Excel with no VBA (Later on I added some to make it even better and faster).           He needed Stock Management Automation for Electronics with Excel so that he could further go and use it for Analytics. I created him the Excel software as per the requirements and showed it to him which he loved at the first glance. After he started using it, he wasn’t going back to manual work ever again.             After this review, I thought why not to share the Best Stock Management Software with the world made by just using Excel which everyone has it installed nowadays. Here Are Some Key Features of the Stock Management soft...

Xiaomi MIX

Yesterday Xiaomi also launched one more device named 'MiX'. A concept phone from Xiaomi that clearly shows how hard it is working in innovating its products. Remember I discussed about Xiaomi Redmi 4  which was nothing new and just an just add-on to one or more feature. And I said Xiaomi is just putting specs on their device without any innovation. These were the 2 devices they were working on, first which I already posted about Mi Note  2. So the Bezelless phone is here with a screen-to-body ratio of 91.3%. Not only the Bezelless phone with no features but with the high-end specs making it a flagship phone to look at. As keeping the snapdragon 821 underneath the hood and 6 gigs of RAM with the finger print sensor at the back and supporting a 6.4 inch FHD Amoled display (1080 x 2040) as the aspect ratio of this device is kept at 17:9. There is a 16MP rear and 5MP front camera. There's no proximity sensor and the earpiece since the device is bezel less but th...
