  If you experienced sim block on 800MB usage only, I recommend that you disconnect and unplug your modem every 400MB download, and just plug it and reconnect again to continue browsing and downloading.

9 Must-Read Tips for Choosing the Right Smartphone

Planning to upgrade your current phone? With the wide variety of smartphones available in the market, it is never easy to decide which one to pick. It is always tough deciding the one that may suit our needs best. There are tons of great phones to choose from. With all the options out there, how do you know which one to get? Here are few things to look for so you can find the phone that's perfect for you.

1. Figuring Out Your Requirements

While buying a smartphone, the first thing you need to do is to figure out what your needs are. Do you need a phone with a large screen, small screen, a dual camera? Maybe you absolutely need Messenger, Exchange support, or a phone with an awesome camera. Or, if you are a gamer, you need to focus on processor and if you are a selfie lover, focus on camera quality. Figure out what matters most to you and write it down. Your decisions here will affect everything that is to come.

At Lazada, the hassle free online shop with free delivery, there are so many smartphones to choose from. For gamers, check out Octa-Core Smartphones, while for photo lovers, check these Smartphones with 11-15MP Rear Camera.

2. Checking the Build Quality and Design

The durability of a smartphone depends on its build quality. While buying a smartphone, better-built quality must get attention. The entire handset market is largely divided into two types of builds - metal and plastic. There are some that even have glass-coated panels, but those are very limited. If you are one of those prone to dropping your smartphone, it's advisable to go for a metal built handset. If you prefer to have a smartphone with a lucrative design and premium build quality, ceramic built is for you.

3. Choosing the Most Suitable Screen Size & Resolution

Screen size is measured corner to corner diagonally. Ultimately, screen size is a matter of preference. Smaller screen phones may fit better in your pocket and are often cheaper. Larger displays may be preferable if you plan to watch a lot of videos. If you like 5 inch device you can choose 5-inch display, or a 5.5-inch display can be in your choice list. If you like to watch a lot of movies, you can go for 6.44 inch display.

Be sure to pay attention to the resolution; currently most of the smartphones come with at least 1280×720 pixel resolution. If you can, find a phone with a 1080p or 1920×1080 pixel resolution, that’s top of the line. Besides, you should be conscious of display quality if you are accustomed to use a smartphone at night. Some phones display keeps eye care in mind, by reducing harmful blue-ray, while still keeping the colors vibrant. There's also 1-nit ultra dark night display for your late-night reading.

4. Considering Larger Battery

Battery technology is improving steadily so newer phones tend to have longer battery life. You should not settle for a smartphone with a battery capacity of less than 3,000 mAh. However, your usage habits are what really dictates how long the battery lasts. Talking on the phone, gaming, and using phones outside of wifi range will all drain a battery more quickly. Phones with 5300 mAh large battery can help you in this regard.

You may also consider the Quick Charging feature - some newer Android phones utilize a quick charge technology to help recharge their large batteries faster. Check out Smartphones with Quick Charge feature, wherein you can charge it up to approximately 68% in just 1 hour.

5. Choosing the UI/OS

User interface and the Operating System version are also the key factors to consider while buying a smartphone. These are the interfaces that one would have to interact with each time to access anything, so it should be easy and simple. For the most basic and pure Android experience, you can go for Android One devices or Nexus/Pixel smartphones. Check out smartphones with Android Nougat OS.

Read also, List of Smartphones and Devices To Get Android Oreo Update

You can also go for any customized interfaces like MIUI, ZenUI, Flyme, TouchWiz, Oxygen, EMUI and others those offer more nifty features to sort applications and more options in styles the company thinks users would find more friendly.

6. Considering Camera Performance

Although smartphones are known for taking high-quality photos in general, actual picture quality will vary quite a bit between brands and models. The best way to measure camera quality in a phone is to search for sample pictures online taken with that smartphone model or to demo the camera yourself. While manufacturers often advertise a camera's megapixel count, features like ISO, low-light performance, brightness, and noise reduction are equally if not more important to consider. Having dual rear camera with dual tone LED flash is the latest camera equipment. You can also consider for optical zoom for better capture.

7. Checking out the CPU and Storage

Better CPU helps in ensuring better performance. While buying a new smartphone, CPU consideration should be one of the priorities. if you like to play a lot of HD games in your device, it's a must. Check out phones with Octa-core and Deca-core processors. If you want bigger storage capacity, check these phones with 32GB/64GB/128GB Internal Storage.

Having a larger storage on your phone can help you store a lot of Movies and other files. That's why before buying a smartphone you should check out the storage. At present most of the flagship smartphone comes with 64GB of internal storage while some of them have a 128GB or 256GB variant. If you need a phone with larger internal storage, the 256GB of ROM will surely take place in your choice list.

8. Picking the Right Price

The final consideration, and perhaps the most important for many of us is the price. One quick way of narrowing down your choices for a new phone is to just set your budget and see what's available in your price range. For the most part, phones that cost just a few hundred dollars will serve you just as well as those that push closer to a thousand dollars.

9. Choosing the Best Time

Last but not least, you should also consider the time when you plan to buy. Otherwise, your shiny new handset could be replaced within a few weeks. When you've got your eye on a particular phone, check when it launched. If it's coming up for its one-year anniversary, you might be better off waiting for the next version.

If you are budget-conscious, it's a good compromise to wait for a new model of your desired smartphone to become available and to then take advantage of a drop in the price of the other models. When a new phone model premieres interest in older models will immediately go down and the price will often change to reflect that.

Lenovo Officially Starts Grand Finale of Legion Of Champions Series II Bangkok 2018

Lenovo, the world’s leading PC manufacturer, has officially kicked off the “Legion of Champions Series II” Grand Finale (LoC; former League of Champions). This three-day LEAGUE OF LEGENDS gaming extravaganza, held in partnership with Intel, is expected to bring together over 60 gaming talents in Asia Pacific together in Bangkok, Thailand, from January 26 to 28, 2018.

Following last year’s successful debut, the competition has expanded its footprint to include teams from Hong Kong and Taiwan, in addition to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The in-market champions from the eight markets will battle it out and the winning teams will walk away with a combined pool of close to 500,000 THB (approximately PHP 812,000) in cash.

After three days of intense competition, from January 26 - 28, the champion team will walk home with a cash prize of 210,000 THB (approximately PHP 341,000), while the first and second runners up will be awarded 110,000 THB (approximately PHP 178,000) and 70,000 THB (approximately PHP 113,000) respectively.

Lenovo Legion gaming devices will be the enablers for qualifying champion teams to compete during LoC, empowering them with a world-class experience in speed, performance and consistency. The anniversary edition of Legion Y520 laptop will also make its first appearance at LoC to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the launch of Lenovo Legion, a gaming sub-brand first introduced in CES 2017. Coming in two designs – one in red and another in black and gold. In the Philippines, the black and gold version will be available in limited stocks in February 2018.

Legion of Champions Series II is one of Lenovo’s major efforts in nurturing the next-generation gamers and growing the gaming community in Asia. Professional or amateur gamers alike, the teams competing at the Grand Finale of LoC are the best in Asia’s gaming scene. These in-market champions have stood out despite the fierce competition; all of them have gone through multiple elimination rounds at the local level to finally reach the highly-anticipated Grand Finale, competing against other top-notch talents for the ultimate gaming glory.

6 Reasons for Slow Mobile Internet Connection and How to Fix It

Tired of looking at your mobile phone while you wait for websites to load? If yes, maybe it's time to find out why your internet connection is so slow. There are many contributing factors to connectivity when using the Internet: it is not just about the type of your internet service provider, or the features of your smartphone - different issues can present various combinations of issues, causing trouble with your internet connection. Most commonly, internet connection speed is affected by types of Internet access, issues within your phone, or by external factors. Let's troubleshoot the reasons for slow internet connection!

6 Reasons for Slow Mobile Internet Connection and How to Fix It

1. Crowded Wifi Network

If you're not the only person using your WiFi network, you'll be sharing bandwidth. The pipeline between your devices and the internet is limited, and if a lot of devices try to send and receive a lot of data, they'll have to take turns. This will slow down the internet for everyone connected. For Wi-Fi networks, numerous connected devices can also lead to a slowdown, as the Wi-Fi communicates with each device in turn.

Fix/Solution: In order to get rid of this, you can use 'Portable Wifi Hotspot Manager' which can be downloaded on Play Store, to manage users connected on hotspot, or if your phone has One-time data limit feature which can limit the number of connected devices, these can be found under Settings > Portable hotspot.

2. Network Range and Physical Obstructions

One simple reason why you are experiencing unstable internet connection and may not be working as well as it should be is that you're not in a great spot to pick up a Wi-Fi signal. If you're far from the Wi-Fi router or have many walls, floors and lots of objects between your device and the router, you'll probably have a poor connection that can slow down your internet access. Stone, brick and concrete walls will especially interfere with your signal, as can any device giving off its own wireless signal, like a smart home device.

Fix/Solution: If you can carry your device somewhere else, this is an easy fix. Just place your device near the WiFi router.

3. Issue with Philippine ISP data plan along with speed

Sometimes, your internet is slow because you're only paying for slow internet. Log onto your provider's website may it be Globe, Smart, PLDT or Converge ICT, or give them a call thru their customer service hotline and find out what plan you have.

Fix/Solution: If you're just paying for slow internet, and the best way to speed it up will be to upgrade.

4. Local congestion or ISP throttling

Another reason you might be getting slow internet, and one that's not easy to do anything about, is simply that there are tons of people using up the bandwidth available to your neighborhood. The area you live in doesn't have an unlimited pipeline to the internet, and if a huge population is all on the internet at once, the congestion can slow down the internet. This probably won't happen often, but when it does, you're going to hate it. Regarding bandwidth throttling, Globe implements Fair Use Policy which slows down internet once 800mb a day was reached. Smart implements also a fair use policy on data usage, but instead of slow internet connection, once 800mb a day was reached, the SIM will be blocked from connection to the internet. To solve this, read how to unblock Smart SIM.

Fix/Solution: To monitor your data consumption and to avoid reaching the data cap of ISPs, these apps might come in handy:

For Android users, download Datally on Play Store. After installing, open Datally app > tap Daily Limit > set the amount you can use in a day > tap Set a daily limit.

For iOS users, download My Data Manager on Apple App Store. This app will help you monitor your data usage.

5. Bandwith hogging due to background process

It might not even be your neighbors that are stealing the bandwidth available to you. Let's face it, our phones and electronic devices do a lot of stuff behind the scenes that we don’t even realize is going on. Like auto updates and auto sync features which consumes data without the user knowing it.

Fix/Solution: If you’re browsing the internet while the automatic update is turned on, your browsing may be slower than usual. To fix the automatic update of apps is recommended to be turned off. You may also clean up the unnecessary tasks from the task manager to get more free RAM, just swipe rarely or unused apps from your recent apps.

6. Issues with DNS server

When you type an address into your browser, like google.com, your phone uses something called DNS to look up and translate that into a phone-friendly IP address. Sometimes, though, the servers your phone uses to look up that information can have issues, or go down entirely. If your default DNS servers aren't having problems, then you probably won't find too much of an improvement with an alternative server—but it might speed up your browsing by a few milliseconds, at least.

Fix/Solution: While there was no exact solution when you experience DNS problem with your ISP, using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) might be a help to make your internet connection more stable.

Android One vs. Android Go: The Difference Explained

Android is very popular among the mobile operating systems. Android OS accounts for over 84% of the total smart phones. You say a thing, and Android will do it. Be it customizing your device, optimizing an app, changing its fonts and looks or interface, installing different ROMs and kernels to try different functionalities or anything else, Android will do it without blinking an eye. Since it is based on the Linux, it has endless possibilities. When comparing Android to iOS or Windows, Android isn’t comparable! Talk about anything related to iOS, Android is far ahead of it.

Widgets, customization, price, budget, multitasking, ROMs and Kernels, Android is far ahead and better in almost every aspect. Coming to Windows, there is ROM available for Android OS which is almost similar to Windows OS. Plus, you can dual-boot (install and use 2 or more than 2 OS simultaneously) in Android. So, why to go for iOS or windows, when you can use them both at the same time on your Android device?

Now, over the years, Android Operating System has evolved greatly. Coming from the days of Android 1.5 (Cupcake) to Android 7.0 (Nougat), Android has developed vastly and has added various features in its archery which makes it one of the most loved Operating System of the era. Many Smartphone OEMs especially Samsung saw the light, thanks to Android. But what was coming next? An expansion, of course! Android soon expanded in the domains of Tablet, TVs, Chrome books and even cars. From being a simple OS to being Google’s Everything, Android came a long way.

But in all this, Google also launched its Android One Program in its I/O of 2014 and Android Go in its I/O of 2017. Over the years, developers became occupied with Android Marshmallow, Nougat and now Android O which diverted the attention from Android One and Android Go. Now, discussions are doing the round that Go is going to replace One, which is NOT correct. So, we decided to cover everything about Android One and Android Go, the differences and similarities between them and how Google is going to operate between Android, Android One, and Android Go. Now, let us begin with Android One Program.

Android One

The keynote of Google I/O 2014 developers conference began with the topic of how great Android is doing. CEO Sundar Pichai introduced the all new Android One which deserves an ovation for the innovative thinking. Android One was based on the idea of giving smart phone access to the emerging markets across the globe at very low costs.

Android One program was quite different from the normal Android in which Google only handles the software department of the smart phone. In this program, Google first gave a reference of hardware required to the OEMs which develop high-quality affordable components for smart phones which pave the way for building a smart phone at a very affordable price points. Next, on the Software front, instead of depending on OEMs for software updates, Google has directly provided updates like it does with Nexus or Pixel and Google Play Edition devices. As understood, the software was Stock Android with full Google Apps support.

The manufacturing of first Android One devices was started in India with Micromax, Karbonn, and Spice all joining hands with Google to develop a device at less than $100. Android One was one great way to overcome the ‘updates’ related issue as low-cost Android smart phones run Android 4.0 (Ice-cream Sandwich) or sometimes even Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). As the things have shaped till now, we see Android One as the program used by Google to raise the quality of smart phones at the bottom scale of Android smart phone industry.

Micromax Canvas A1 was the first smart phone based on Android One and it ran on Android 4.4.4 KitKat, build KPW53, and a Google-built Linux 3.4.67 kernel dated Aug 20. Next, Android One made its way to new emerging markets like Philippines, Turkey, Myanmar and also finally in the US. Soon, developers started contributing and we saw CyanogenMod Custom ROMs for Android.

The bottom line is Android One wasn’t built for those who are used to premium smart phones, it was for providing entry level smart phones to the ones stuck on feature phones. And, we must say, Android One was quite successful in this regard. But the Indian companies, with which Google partnered, didn’t market Android One devices as they should have. These lead consumers to forget about them and move on. Then came, Xiaomi, and Lenovo and they became the king of mid-range smart phones by making phones which had premium features at a mid-range price, thus leaving Android One to fail. By the end of 2016, it was quite clear that Google Partners were abandoning the Android One strategy.

Android Go

Android Go was unveiled at the Google I/O conference of 2017. Android Go was unveiled by Sameer Samat, the VP of Product Management, Android and Google Play. The idea of Android Go is somewhat similar to Android One. With Android Go, Google plans to provide a complete Android experience to users with low-end smart phones. According to Sameer Samat, “Android Go is not a new version of Android; It’s just a project name inside Google”. Android Go will be launched alongside Android O and will be available for the devices with 1 GB or less RAM.

We all know Android is a memory hungry operating system. But with the advancements in battery optimization and app cache, Android O will most probably run smoothly on all the smart phones. Remember Project Svelte, which debuted with Jellybean. It was a Customized Jellybean for low-end smart phones. Similarly, Android Go is a customized version of Android O. The difference is just that Android Go will support every Android OS which comes after Android O.

For Android Go, Google is customizing all of its major apps like YouTube, Gboard, Chrome so that they use as little data as possible. In Android Go, chrome will use its data saver feature by default and YouTube will be used as YouTube Go, to save data. Gboard will support multiple languages and translations.

In Android Go, Play Store will show light-weighted apps first like Facebook Lite, YouTube Go which is less than 10 MB in size. These apps will mostly remain in the compressed state and there won’t be any prompts for regular updates.

With these features, Google can make any phone work with limited memory and without the need to partner with various OEMs for running a stock version of Android without much customization.

But the next question which comes to our mind is, why will Android Go succeed where Android One failed? So here is the answer.

Android Go vs Android One

In 2014, Google launched Android One Program with almost a similar mission as of Android Go, but then why did Android One failed and Android Go will succeed?

When Google launched Android One in 2014, it focused on providing a standardized hardware design and stock software to OEMs. Thus, OEMs had no freedom and they couldn’t compete with other smart phones in the market. But in 2017, Google has realized that standardized hardware design won’t create much competition between OEMs thus it won’t be adopted by manufacturers. This resulted in Android Go, where Google has left the hardware part for OEMs and is fully focusing on software which can run smoothly even on a low-end smart phone.

This is the reason why Android Go will succeed as OEMs and users both have the freedom to choose what type of smart phone they want. With apps like YouTube Go, Gboard, Chrome and Play Store made to save data and power, Android Go will be a hit. Android Go will bring a new experience for low-end users, as it will combine smooth software with low-cost hardware.
