    Xiaomi Mi 10,000mAh Power Bank Review: Everything You Need to Know

    Xiaomi’s 10,000mAh Power Bank is one of the best we’ve seen, and not just in a long time – ever. The design language oozes style with an elegant and high portability with aluminum-alloy design, the Xiaomi packs useful capacity and at an extraordinary value. Find out more in our Xiaomi Mi 10,000mAh Power Bank Review.

    in some countries like China it comes in different colors (*sigh* typical Xiaomi.)

    Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 10400mAh Review: Box Contents

    When we first took the Xiaomi power bank out of its box we were confused. Opposed to standard with Xiaomi products (all product info written the writing on the box) this box was pretty bear with only Mi logo on it along with MRP and basic info. on the side (and a weird warning sticker but I hope it is not meant for us).
    Inside the box, sits the powerbank itself in all its glory and a good quality short micro USB cable in its own small slot. they supplied a quick setup guide as well which is in English as well as in Chinese, Just In case you don’t know how the power bank works.

    Xiaomi Mi 10,000mAh Power Bank Review: Design and build Quality

    The Mi Power bank have anodized aluminum shell that gives them a premium look and a solid build quality that you don’t expect in power banks in this price range. These have curved corners and have Mi branding on the front. The charging/discharging chips are designed by Texas Instruments and the cell is manufactured by LG or Samsung.

    Xiaomi has managed to squeeze so much power into such a package

    India gets only the silver-colored variant, but in some countries like China it comes in different colors (*sigh* typical Xiaomi.). These feel solid in hand and is quite scratch resistant, but don’t test it. Since it is in silver color, dust and stains are clearly visible. But this power bank is water and corrosion resistant so cleaning it is easy.

    The Mi Power bank have anodized aluminum shell that gives them a premium look and a solid build qualityThe powerbank have LED indicators, standard USB slot, micro USB slot and a button on the top. The 4 LED indicator shows the remaining battery left when you are using and the remaining battery that needs to be charged when it is charging. The LED indicator might be too bright in dark environment. It charges devices immediately when it is connected, pressing the button simply indicates the remaining charge left.

    The Power bank have LED indicators, standard USB slot, micro USB slot and a button

    This isn’t the only thing, Xiaomi has taken extra care over in designing its Xiaomi power bank. The fact that Xiaomi has managed to squeeze so much power into such a package means this is the first 10,000mAh power bank we’ve seen that we’d happily slip into a pocket rather than a bag. No power bank makes a better compromise between portability and capacity.

    Xiaomi Mi 10,000mAh Power Bank Review: Charging Time, Performance

    Coming to the performance, This 10000mAh power bank has 2.0A input and 2.1A output, so you can even charge an iPad (or any android tablet). The 10000mAh power bank can charge the Redmi note 3 and 3s prime upto 1.5 times and Samsung Note 4 twice. The power bank charges the devices faster since it offers 2.1A output which is good enough to charge smartphone along with its accessories such as Bluetooth headphones, fitness bands and more as well.
    Power loss during voltage conversion is a common problem in power banks, and Xiaomi promises 93% charging conversion rate for the 10000 mAh power bank. It also says that these have been tested to withstand 5,000 MicroUSB insertion or removal cycles and 1500 USB insertion or removal cycles.
    These power banks don’t get heated a bit even after hours of usage, compared to most other power banks with metal build. Lack of USB charger in the box is acceptable considering the price tag. Wish the 10000mAh power bank had an additional USB slot to charge another device. These have nine layers of circuit chipset protection (that’s what the company says. And I believe them).
    We think Xiaomi has been somewhat over-cautious with this 6250mAh rating in any case. The hardware inside has been optimized for increased efficiency and durability, which Xiaomi claims is up to 93 percent.

    Most major manufactures mentions the efficiency along with minimum charge

    These power banks come only with a small USB cable. You need to get a wall charger separately to charge these power banks, Better use a 2A charger since it takes several hours (and several hours’ means more than 6 hours) to charge these power banks with a 1A charger.

    Xiaomi Mi 10,000mAh Power Bank Review: Price, Conclusion

    Overall, these power banks are highly recommended for the impressive build quality and affordable price tag. And the 10000mAh power bank offers more value for money at just Rs. 1299(which drops to Rs. 999 for seasonal sales), and is a powerful battery pack that can  charge even the latest iPad. That being said I think this might be the Best power bank for your phone or tablet

  • How To Choose Right Power Bank For Your Mobile Phone

    How To Choose Right Power Bank For Your Mobile Phone

    How To Choose Suitable Portable Power Bank For Your Android, iPhone or any Smartphone?

    Power banks or Portable Batteries or Battery Packs, whatever you call them but all serve one purpose! To give you power on the go without a need to look for power output. Just like cables, Power banks come in different shape, size, capacity, and don’t get me started on the features. Some do just light up as well! I have seen some powerbanks that can jumpstart a full size SUV!! How cool is that? Here, I’ll give few tips to choose best powerbank for your mobile phone suitable for your needs.

    choose right suitable portable best power bank for your iphone android mobile phone
    So with all these option, how to buy right powerbank one that gets the job done for you?

    What is Power Bank Capacity, mAh?

    Let’s start by understanding what exactly is the capacity of a Powerbank? How it is measured? How much of the stated capacity you actually get? Is there any difference between genuine branded powerbank and a cheap powerbank (you guessed it right from some shady seller outside your local railways station)? Well let’s find out the answers.
    Now first what is the powerbank capacity? The amount of charge the battery cells inside the powerbank can hold. It is generally measured in mAH (milliAmp-Hour) or WHr (Watt-Hour). Now we know that we never get even close to what mentioned capacity on the powerbank. So, how to know what you are going to get?

    Inside Powerbank
    if you open a powerbank something like this is expected to be seen. (If not, you might be screwed)

    If your phone has 4000 mAh battery and if you buy powerbank of 2000 mAh capacity, its not going to last enough! So, make sure you look at your phone’s battery capacity too while choosing right powerbank for your mobile phone. There is a theoretical equation to calculate the USB output capacity from a powerbank. Let’s understand some basics. Inside powerbanks are 3.7V batteries (this voltage varies but only in point margin) but the USB standard is 5V. Between the battery and the USB socket is a conversion circuit and this changes the 3.7 V into USB friendly 5V. When converting into a higher voltage you must also convert the mAH into the new voltage.

    How to Calculate Power Bank Capacity? (Formula)

    A simple equation can be used to convert the 3.7V into 5V.
    Capacity with respect to 5V = 3.7 X Advertised Capacity / 5
    In this case a 10,000 mAH powerbank: 3.7 X 10,000 / 5 = 7,400 mAH
    So a 10,000 mAH at 3.7V powerbank really only supplies 7,400 mAH at the 5V USB connection. So straight out of the box is a 26% reduction in the stated mAH. But that’s not it, there is also something called as conversion loss. What is a conversion loss?
    As you use your powerbank, the circuit inside that converts 3.7V to 5V USB uses some energy and also creates heat. During this conversion you lose some charge. This loss is called as conversion loss. There is a wide range in conversion efficiency and most brands don’t state the losses, but here Xiaomi has prized themselves on their conversion efficiency chips which are up to 93% efficient, meaning you only lose 7% off your battery power in the conversion. This loss is more is the cheap generic powerbanks as conversion circuits are not even remotely as sophisticated as the ones of branded powerbanks.

    You can see 5V output, which is a standard for USB output

    So now what you actually get out of your powerbank?
    To get a rough idea the equation (yeah! I know maths suck. But it is part of life. Deal with it) will be
    Actual output percentage= (Capacity with respect to 5V / Advertised Capacity *100) – conversion loss
    In this case, Actual output= (7400/10000*100) – 7%
    = 67%
    So the mi powerbank should supply roughly 67 mAH of charge. Which is good enough to charge most smartphones at least 1.5 times if not more. But again this percentage varies on the basis of conversion loss.

    Most major manufactures mentions the efficiency along with minimum charge

    Now a bonus answer. Why don’t they just state the actual output?
    The manufactures don’t need to!! As technically, most people have no idea what’s inside the box. By not giving the actual 5V output brands can reap these benefits;
    • Manufactures can have a higher number of mAH for their powerbank and sound more powerful.
    • It avoids the talk or testing of conversion loss and brands with low efficiency conversion chips can still market them in the same league as other efficient brands.
    Some manufacturers will state in the manual or in small print on the device (but most will not state) the minimum output of the powerbank. So as a general rule always buy a powerbank with atleast 30% more charge capacity than you need.

    Till now, hope you’ve learned how to choose right power bank for your phone! Make sure you share this post with your friends too.

  • VR Box Review – one of best budget VR headset in India

    VR Box Review – one of best budget VR headset in India

    After the article of How To Experience VR (Virtual Reality) on Smartphone many of you have this question which head set to get? Should I get VR Box in India? Is it worth buying VR Box? How is the review?

    vr-box-intro

    While searching for any VR headset for your phone, you always have lots of questions, Will this headset support my phone? How will be the experience? Good, Bad? Will it cause troubles in my vision? Are the lens good enough? Can I wear them with specks? Will it affect my vision? How is the built? Are they comfortable? Will VR Box give satisfying VR experience? And the list goes on…

    Well considering all this I rounded up on one that was the VR Box. By the pics it looks convincing and VR Box Price In India is Rs. 650 it seemed like a good deal! Turns out, the deal was pretty darn good. Enough warm-up let get into one my favorite VR headset of all time!!

    The headset arrived in a brown box with an image of VR box Virtual Reality Headset on the front and pricing sticker and VR Box written on top on the top.

    vr-box-india-unboxing-pack-sealed-box

    Inside a box was the VR Headset and some document and the QR code for Cardboard App along with some safety guide and a manual.

    The box also had some Styrofoam sticker which you can stick to the phone casket to prevent scratching the phone and a nice soft cleaning cloth for the lens. That all for the VR Box content. Now let’s concentrate on the actual headset.

    vr-box-india-review

    VR headset is made out of two part abs plastic, one part the headset that is all black and has matte finish that reminds of the interior of older Maruti Suzuki Alto’s interior and other is the white face that is bit glossy. Overall the built is above average with no creak or cracks if you compare it to something like Gear VR.

    Now to the holder or the casket, casket sits behind the white face and is big enough to house my Samsung galaxy note 4 perfectly but that’s it no more as I don’t think anything bigger than the note 4 is compatible with VR Box.

    vr-box-compatible-devices

     

    The phone is held in place by a nice spring loaded mechanism with in my opinion quite good and the phone feel locked into place but don’t test it, it won’t take much shake before the phone pops out. This problem is decease as the phone size decreases, but nothing serious.

    After placing your phone in the casket all you have to do is slide the casket in place and you are all set. The VR box also has the option to remove a part of front face to expose the camera for augmented reality. You can also add some headphones (which is highly recommended) and a charger or USB OTG controller to your phone through the openings on the side

    vr-box-3d

     

    Now let’s talk about lens and comfort. Firstly the lens, lens are made of non-replaceable plastic and are very prone to fingerprints, but they are very easy to clean, they offer clear image without any issues. The lens can be easily adjusted (right-left and front-back) for better viewing with the help to two sliders on the top of the headset and the cavity is big enough to fit your spectacles (subject to condition you don’t those huge hipster frames).

    Now the comfort, VR Box come with 3 point (one on each side and one on top) adjustable head strap which can fits perfectly over my big head, but it needs some adjustment. As for the portion the touches your face his wrapped in soft foam filled mesh material that helps to keep the sweat at bay and helps in those awkward moments when you have to share the headset. As for the heat generated, there are vents in the front face and on the side so the headset allow the phone to breathe.

    vr-box-technology

    Overall this is a very good deal considering the price and if you ask me Rs. 650 for such headset is a good investment. Only drawback with this headset is that it don’t have magnetic trigger so keep that in mind or connect a controller to tackle this issue or just by a third party magnetic trigger and stick it to the headset.

    On the rate of 1-10, this headset deserve a 7 due to affordable price point and great build quality

From the history of Past Android version names, we have seen that Google names its every Android version easy to pronounce, easy to spell, sweet dessert which most of the people on the earth like. In 2013, Google has first time given the commercial chocolate-covered wafer biscuit bar name to its Android version i. e. KitKat for Android 4.4. Let’s see the top 5 Android N Name Possibilities.

    Android N For Neopolitan

    Android N Neapolitan

    Unlike KitKat, Neapolitan is one kind of ice cream, sometimes known as harlequin ice cream, which has vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream blocks side by side in the same container. Some brands intermix the flavors more, though the separate flavors are still clearly visible.

    Android N For Nachos

    Review of SuperSU:

    There is no doubt about usefulness of SuperSU. Is it really worth? In straight word yeah it is worth to use SuperSU application on rooted device. User interference of application is simple and easy to understand. Most important thing is you can download and install it without any cost. It is free for all. If you want some extra features then i suggest you to go for PRO version of SuperSU. Download link is given below. Grant or Delay function is quiet easy. In addition with permission control, SuperSU also keeps an extensive log of all root permissions. You can also remove root functions temporarily on one click. PRO version helps device to quickly re-rooted after an OTA (Over-The-Air) update. Overall SuperSU for Android is great application.

    Introduction on Development in Android Edition

    What means Development in Android?

    Most of the Android user now knows about Root, ROM, Kernel, Boot-loader,etc. Earlier years, seen was different. Android device was not so handy like today. One from ten person used to come up with smartphone. Small children wanted to grow up fast so, they can have their own mobile phone. But, Today it’s not like that. Age doesn’t matter for smartphone. Now, Everyone has a smartphone. And lot of people are coming out for development in Android. That’s a good news.

    Things have changed.

    We are now living in a society where progress and development is important. Due to vast availability of smartphones and Internet now 80 percentages people know about Root, Kernel, Boot-loader like terms. Lot of people have shown interest in those things. Number of young fellows are choosing this as a career option. Those all things affecting on our life so much. We will call it as “MOBILIZATION”. Its nothing but globalization of mobile industry.

    Before 3-4 years ago, for any small thing we have to be dependent on mobile companies or shop. But, now things are changed. Every possible solution to any threat comes from developer first then it comes from Company. Every house has at least one developer who knows how to deal with those things.

    As a development how many days you are going to use resources from others. True developer is who try to design and build things differently. In this section we are going to guide you on different development sections.

    How to develop? What you should do?

    From Internet you have probably seen a large number of ROMs, Applications which are built from different sources. Many people know about ROM and how to flash it? But, why so less number of geeks are there who wanted to develop their own ROM. There are some methods of ROM developing which are unknown to us.
    This section aims to guide you on Android Development. We will start from basics to Advanced.
