Samsung’s mobile business’ president confirmed that the Galaxy S10 d not be the first company’s phone to support 5G but another model will.

BlackBerry Key 2 vs. Samsung Galaxy Note 9 – Durability and Productivity Comparison

Productivity is Samsung Galaxy Note 9’s primary goal. From its S Pen which is enabled by Bluetooth to the DeX Mode recently integrated, this phone makes you work harder. Can it be compared to the new BlackBerry Key2? Let’s see!

Charging, performance, and battery life

Both the Samsung and the BlackBerry will get you through an entire day no matter how demanding you are. Despite the Key2 having a 500mAh smaller battery than Note’s 4,000mAh one, it still got some excellent stamina because it is also smaller and has a less powerful processor. They charge pretty fast as well giving you 3-4 hours of battery even though it charged only for 15 minutes. The advantage Note 9 has over its rival is its wireless charging.

This round’s winner is Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

Durability and design

Everything is more evident when it comes to durability. Note 9 is made all out of glass which does not get along with the floor. However, Key2 got an aluminum body, so it is less likely to break if dropped. The Note 9 has also gained a certificate from IP68 which makes is undestroyable to a drop in the water. On the other side, Key2 is not good at swimming so water might end its life for good.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is again the winner.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 wins

Taking into account the arguments above, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 can be considered the winner. BlackBerry Key2 is not a bad phone because it also has good productivity features but its specs are just not enough to beat Note 9’s DeX mode. If you are in search of a productivity workhorse, you will not go wrong with either of this phones. You can even save some money with the BlackBerry.

Responsive, Adaptive and Mobile-Friendly Websites – What is the Difference?

Because more and more people are using their mobiles to access the internet, sometimes it gets quite tricky. To get to know the difference between responsive, adaptive and mobile-friendly websites, keep reading.

Responsive Websites

On the websites with a responsive design, the mobile user is the top one priority.

The responsive websites sizes change simultaneously with the browser’s ones depending on the device used. It also, depending on the width of the browser, adjusts the design elements.

The user also makes is change when they choose the browser size. When you make your browser smaller while on a desktop computer, the website will adjust to it. This change will happen most optimally.

When it comes to mobile devices, the responsive websites take into account its size in the background before arranging the content to fit the best.

Even though this type of website is not made for mobiles, it still works quite well.

Adaptive Websites

The adaptive website can be considered the cousin of the responsive website because it mainly changes the browser size of the user and the elements of the site all considering the device. It will only adapt specific element to different screen sizes and browse contrary to dynamizing all the content.

There is a wide range of fixed layouts that designers create. The website chooses which one suits best your device.

The adaptations are pre-determined, so there is no dynamic process which can adapt itself.

Mobile-Only Websites

This type of website has an “m” in the URL, and it is a fading option. It makes the site best for mobile use.

This is also known as a standalone mobile site which is different from the desktop version. It includes the same elements as the desktop one.

What is the Future of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett and Who will Change it?

A new technology called game streaming might change the whole game industry and here is why.

Local content vs game-streaming

If you are a beginner, streaming games will not make you get a gaming hardware and spend hundreds of cash on it.

Yourhas the necessary hardware which can display the streamed games so you will not need huge hard drives, high-powered graphics card or processors as a way to store games.

Nvidia GeForce Now

Even though Nvidia’s GeForce Now is only in beta and it keeps upgrading, we still have the assurance that it might become official soon.

GeForce Now has the ability to support over 300 games at the moment and if you want you can also make your own additions from Uplay library and Steam, and you will be able to benefit from all your games.

At the moment of being, you do not have to pay anything to use GeForce Now, but you need to pay for your games on Steam. When the service will no longer be on beta, you might have to pay a sum.

PlayStation Now

Sony has developed a game-streaming service called PlayStation Now which was mostly created for PlayStation 4, but you can also use it on your PC if you get a compatible controller.

The PlayStation Now game-streaming service is no longer available on Sony Smart TVs, PlayStation 3, PlayStation TV, and PlayStation Vita.

Without access to Steam or similar services, PlayStationNow does pretty well alone as it has a wide range of games kept in its library. You can choose from over 600 games along with other new ones added month by month.

These two game-streaming services might steal PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett’s bread.
