The Smartphone market has been moving rapidly and unpredictably over the past few years, anything can happen, absolutely. Looking at Xiaomi’s performance, it should be essential for us or Xiaomi’s competitors to consider seriously about the possibility that its CEO’s words may be happen or not.
If the company thought of extending its distribution across the world, Europe or America, for example, it would be able to see a significant climbing in sales almost immediately, after all.

As Windows 8.1 is the latest version of Windows operating system, a lot laptops and notebooks being released have this OS installed.
HP Stream Windows 8.1 is one. With its configuration and features the laptop offers, would it beat other already popular low-end laptops such as Google Chromebook?
Hardware Configuration

One of the problems with this device is the display. Though it runs on Windows 8.1, it does not have a touch screen. We all know Windows 8.1 can only perform at its fullest on a touch screen device. This version of HP Stream can not afford to be equipped with one due to the low price.
Another disadvantage is that the HP Stream only has 32GB or 64GB of internal storage on the solid state drive. For extension of data usage, you will have to have an SD card or an external hard drive. The use of SSD instead of a usual hard drive has its pros though, such as improving the laptop’s performance.

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge awes users with its unique and edgy display
At IFA Berlin this year, in addition to Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the Korean company also announces one of most interesting smart phone of this year – Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. The Note series now have two impressive models with eye-catching features.
Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
“Revolutionary display” claimed by Samsung
The most noticeable feature of the Note Edge is, of course, its screen. Its edgy screen. At the first glance, you can see that the screen of the Note Edge is curved at the sides. The Edge Screen, however, is not just for appearance though. It has a lot of functions that helps you a lot in controlling and saving power.
Let us say something about the phone’s main screen first. It is still a normal screen, with 5.6’’ in size and features a Quad HD Super AMOLED display. The resolution of this screen is 1600 x 2560 p, which is really impressive. With pixel density of 524 ppi, it can display images and videos more lively and fascinating than any other phones. You can say that Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is one of the best smart phone out there with its display.
2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3 is also there for screen protection.
Now with the 1’’ side screen and curvy slides. While the display is totally one, the side screen functions alone. However, since there is not many developers who design apps and features for this Edge Screen yet, right now there are only a few options to customize the screen. For example, users can add some shortcut app icons, a weather forecast and pedometer to the screen.
When the main screen is locked, you can further operate your phone with just the side screen. You can also control media playing on the Edge Screen. Things are easier and faster now with how you can manage your phone without sliding and unlocking it. And when you are watching a video, all of the settings are on the Edge screen so your video can have more space on the main screen. Awesome.
Developers are encouraged to create new feature for this type of Edge Screen. And maybe other company will consider copying this design for their phone. However, it is a bit inconvenient for left-handed users since there is only the right side of the phone that is curved. Samsung says people can just use it upside down, but what about the other functions and button?
Moreover, the Edge Screen also have some issues. While the phone fits easily in their hands, some users point out that if the screen takes up that much space, there will not be enough protection for the phone when it drops and it can be broken. Let us see how Samsung can make the Note Edge’s durability as high as other Note products.
Powerful smart phone with high configuration
Aside from the screen, Note Edge also has a good configuration which is the same as Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It will be powered with either a 2.5 GHz quad core processor from Snapdragon, or a 1.3 GHz and 1.9 Ghz octa core processor from Exynos. These CPUs are enough to create a powerful smart phone, running smoothly all of your applications and data. 3GB of RAM and 32GB / 64GB of internal storage are also a big plus.
Android 4.4.4 Kitkat with TouchWiz UI will provide a lot of colorful and lively looks and themes to your phone. Moreover, a lot of other features are to be available on Samsung Galaxy Note Edge when it is officially released.
Stay tune with the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, if you are going to purchase one this Christmas.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in different colors
With the same display size as the Note 3, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a lot of new features. And it is really a beastly new phablet for Android lovers.
Same design with additional finishing touches
The design of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is similar to other of the same series. There is a new metallic frame covering the sides of the Note 4, which gives off a very elegant and great feeling. However, the back cover is still made from plastic, and while it does not affect much in use, it does not feel premium, either. There is one plus point to the plastic cover that it is now softer and it ensure a tight grip.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be available in four different colours: Charcoal black, Frosted white, Bronze Gold and Blossom Pink
The note 4 also has a lot of accessories for covers. Even a shiny Swarovski crystal cover is made for the Note 4. So instead we have the luxury feelings from its flip cover if you do not want to touch the plastic back.
Flip covers filled with Swarovski crytals for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Curved screen for better viewing
The screen is 5.7’’ and is unchanged from that of Note 3 last year. However, with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass on top, the screen has a curvy edge.

These specs can make sure you have the best viewing experience Samsung has to offer.
Powerful processor, large storage

The graphic processor also differs. One version is equipped with Adreno 420 and the other is equipped with Mali T760. Both will have 3GB of RAM and we will not have to worry about the pressure the Note 4 has to take when running large games or when a lot of apps are open at the same time.

Upgraded camera and photo shooting features
The camera on Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is now 16MP, and it’s an impressive upgrade from the 13MP camera on Note 3. With optical image stabilization, the Note 4 can now produce even livelier, brighter, colorful photos and videos. Other shot feature such as dual shot, touch focus, auto focus, face and smile detection, etc … are also there.
The front camera is also upgraded and improved. Being a 3.1MP camera, it now has a new wide-angle (90 degree) selfie mode, which will be satisfying to users who enjoy taking self-portrait photos. The new panorama feature allows you to take group picture without cutting anyone offscreen.
Also, Snap Note, a new application on Note 4, allows you to take photos of writings and texts and your phone will automatically convert it to digital data for you to read and edit. This is great because of no more writing in a notebook.
A brand new S pen
The S Pen that comes together with Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is impressively improved, too. It is more sensitive while using it on the screen, and with just a little pressure you can easily tap, write and draw things on your Note 4. There are new options on how the S Pen works, such as fountain pen and calligraphy mode.
Selecting text and multiple items are now easier with the S Pen. You can put together what you select, edit them and save at once. Even Samsung has said that the new S Pen functions like a PC mouse. This is better than ever with an advanced S Pen.
Other enhanced features
There are a lot of new features this time on Note 4. For example, you can open multi windows and manage multiple applications at the same time. Samsung has also improved charging speed on the Note 4, making charging time shorter than previous device. You will only wait around 30 minutes for half of the battery.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is also compatible with the next generation of smart wearable devices such as Samsung Gear S and Samsung Galaxy Gear VR.
Galaxy Gifts also brings you a lot of services from many service providers. Note 4 also has several microphones, which allows you to record what sound you want and cancel noise based on direction.

Sony Xperia Z3 officially launched at IFA this year
Like other big names in the market, Sony has announced their latest product – Sony Xperia Z3. It’s just 6 months after the release of Xperia Z2, what is in the box for users with Sony flagship smart phone?
Sony Xperia Z3 – the latest model of the Xperia series.

Better camera for your photography experience

The one touch connectivity ensures you the speed of any task. Viewing photos from your phone on TV, sharing between devices … are also easier now.

Great durability
And of course, you have to mention the waterproof feature of this phone. Sony Xperia Z3 is resistant to water and dust thanks to its impressive IP (Ingress Protection) 65/68 rating. You can use your phone literally in any kind of environment without worrying about damaging the phone too much.

Xiaomi is popular with its smart phone models such as the Mi series, and MIUI interface. This time, with Xiaomi Piston Earphones , we can have a look at the accessory category the company produce to see how good they are. Xiaomi Piston Earphones are said to have excellent sound quality and super clear sound.
Xiaomi Piston Earphones
The price of these earphones is relatively low, and as compared to other produced by big brand company, this is really superb in quality. They were sold out in mater of minutes like other Xiaomi products. So what exactly do the earphones have that attracts that many customers?
The package of the Xiaomi Piston Earphone is really impressive with instructions being printed on the sides of the cardboard box. They can be easily unfolded and you can read very clearly from all sides. Moreover, users have claimed that they are what instruction papers should be – easy to read and follow.
And when you are done with reading, you can fold it back to form a box again, which is very convenient. The box can be used for putting the earphones back, or can be recycled.
The plastic cover case is small and pretty, which is very eye-catching from the first glance. It has rounded edges and a transparent cover. The golden earphones are placed neatly in the box, and you will feel that this is some high class and luxurious box. Even Xiaomi stated that the box can be used as gift box for friends and yourself. What a clever way of marketing by making such an elegant box.
The earpieces, control module and the 3.5 jack are placed neatly in the box, with very noticeable cracks. The piece of molded rubber housing all these parts is light. Although removing the parts can be tricky because they lie almost glued to the rubber, when you are used to it they are really easy to be removed and put back.
The earphones are gold-plated and have a very elegant appearance. The aluminum casing they have and laser etched circular line patterns make Xiaomi Piston Earphones a very nice looking product. Additionally, the shiny pieces completely feel premium and solid. This gives us a very reassuring feeling about the quality of the earphones as well as their durability.
The cords of the earphones are braided, which is a very unique feature you may not see on most of the earphones out there. Xiaomi states that these cords are tangle free, and it is really true since the braided parts make a surface between the cords that lessens the chance of them being tangled up like Rapunzel’s hair.
The Kevlar braiding is not complete on the cords though, since the part from the splitter-remote to the phones is covered with durable rubbery coating.
While the whole cords being braided are a nice idea, there will be a probability of the threads being sprung out. This unraveled, worn effect of the thread will cause discomfort and lessen the quality of the earphones. Sweat can be absorbed into the braided part and it is really a bad thing.
At the bottom of the box, under the rubber housing, you will find three different sets of silicone ear buds that you can choose. These are in different sizes, and you can swap them to fit your ears or when sharing music with your friends.
A holding clip is also included to make sure the cords will not be swaying back and forth. It keeps you comfortable while listening and moving at the same time.
For audio quality, Xiaomi Piston Earphones are probably one of the best audio devices. Consider its price and design, the earphones set really satisfies a lot of people. There is a balance double damping system on Xiaomi Piston Earphones helps to give more pure sound effects.
The Mi earphones has beryllium alloy as a material for faster, better and clearer sound. Moreover, its diaphragms allow lower bass and higher treble performance on the phones. The earphones can cover an extended range of frequency.
The ear buds are also very crucial to how the audio will play. By choosing the set that fits your ears, the quality of bass will be further improved. The smoothness and clearness of the treble can also be noticed more easily with a good ear bud set. And since Xiaomi has prepared you with 3 different sets, you do not have to worry about sound quality.
All kinds and genre of music play great through the earphones. Moreover, you can adjust the setting of audio quality through MiSound – an audio enhancer in every Mi series smart phone. With this, users can get every piece of their music to sound right. Xiaomi Piston Earphones are compatible with a lot of Android devices, and tests on other smart phones of different brand show that the earphones work efficiently.
The multi function button on the earphones work great when you choose to play or pause music. With just a single tap on the button, you can pause what you are listening or receive a call.
A double tap means skip to the next song or mute the call. A triple tap means skip to the previous song. To end the phone call or to access Google Now, you just have to press the button for a while.
Phone calls received when Xiaomi Piston Earphones are plugged in are also clear and loud enough.
Owning these braided earphones, 3 different sets of ear buds, you will be satisfied with the experience Xiaomi Piston Earphones give. Since the earphones are compatible with Android smart phones, you will not have to worry if the earphones can play on what devices or not. The price of the earphones is very reasonable, and they are really worth buying.

Xiaomi Mi Power bank
Xiaomi has been a big name ever since it got into the technology market 4 years ago. Now with the expanding of its business, the company has produced a lot of different types of devices, not only smart phones. This time, they introduce their Mi Power Bank as a new “accessory” to your smart device. Battery life is not a problem anymore if you have a Mi Power bank with you anytime, anywhere.
The Xiaomi Mi Power Bank
Xiaomi claims their power bank as “A sleek aluminum casing surrounds dual battery cell technology from LG and Samsung.” The power bank looks nice enough, and with just 5.5mm in width and the size of a business card, it can even fit in your pocket. Users can easily put the power bank in their handbag or pocket to bring it along with them for “a day worth of power.”
The curves of the power bank also make it easy to hold.
Xiaomi Mi Power bank and its compact size
Xiaomi Mi Power bank has a beautiful aluminum surface, with each single piece metal casing being formed by high precision CNC digital cutting. The case is resistant to water and corrosion, which is a great bonus since you will probably bring it to a lot of places and leave it in a lot of different environments.
Xiaomi boasts that their Power Bank can endure a 50kg pressure limit.
Internally, the Mi Power Bank is equipped with LG and Samsung battery cells. For Xiaomi products, the power bank can fully charge the Mi 3 with just one go. It can even do two full charges of the iPhone5s.
The Mi Power Bank is also equipped with smart-control chips and nine layers of circuit chipset protection made by Texas Instruments. These protect the power bank from damage of short-circuit, input overvoltage, incorrect insertion, output overcurrent, output overvoltage, and overcharging/over-discharging.
Like other Mi series products from Xiaomi, the Mi Power Bank will only be available on Lazada. Take a look at the power bank and decide if it is worth buying one for yourself.
