Oppo F1 Camera-Focused Smartphone's India Launch Set for January 28


Oppo F1 Camera-Focused Smartphone's India Launch Set for January 28
Oppo will debut its newly announced camera-focused 'F' smartphone series with the launch of its Oppo F1 in India on January 28. The company has sent out invites for the launch event. Oppo announced the new handset series during the CES 2016 trade show. Nothing much is known about the smartphone as of now.
At the time of its CES announcement, Oppo said the new F-Series smartphones will keep photography as its central focus. As per Sky Li, Oppo Vice President and Managing Director of International Mobile Business, the new series is said to "inherit the excellent camera performance and exquisite design tradition." He adds that the F-Series smartphone will include some "impressive specs" at "amazing prices."
Although the Oppo F1 was earlier said to be the global version of the Oppo A53, a new report suggests otherwise. The handset design however, looks similar to that of Oppo A53. As per the report, the Oppo F1 will feature a 13-megapixel rear camera with Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF), which we have already seen in the Oppo R7 models. It will also sport an 8-megapixel front-facing camera with f/2.0 aperture. The camera will be backed by the company's native PureImage 2.0+ platform, which will feature wide set of modes along with filters. 3GB RAM is also said to come housed inside the camera-focused smartphone.
Other details on the handset's processor, display, and battery are yet to be revealed. A 5-inch display and Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC is rumoured for the F1.
Oppo is known for smartphones with rotating cameras and photo-stitching technology. The company was among the first to introduce its N1 handset with rotating camera in 2013.

The first stethoscope

René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his  1819 treatise  on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

iPad Pro Review

The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
