Facebook CEO - Mark Zukerberg Pays Visit To Lagos, Nigeria

Mark Zuckerberg in Nigeria
We’ve just confirmed that Mark Zuckerberg is at the CoCreation Hub, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria at this very moment. He arrived this afternoon from Rome and is currently meeting with a few key players in the Nigerian technology sphere. In CcHub, he engaged with students and was in apparent wonderment at children coding.

Mark was in Rome with his wife, Priscilla, until a few hours ago (according to his Facebook page). He held a Q&A session, visited the Pope and did a few “touristy” things.
Mark Zuckerberg
There’s been a lot of Facebook-related development in Nigeria so there’s a ton of reasons why Mark may be visiting. First, Free Basics launched in Nigeria and Mark showed his support for the Jobberman team. Then the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative invested $24 million in Andela. Facebook’s developer workshop is happening tomorrow, and yesterday, we reported that Facebook is partnering with Cool Link to launch Express Wifi in Lagos some time this week.

There is going to be a Facebook Developer’s event tomorrow and I was expecting top devs from the Facebook team to show up, but apparently it is Zuckerberg himself that will be chairing the event tomorrow.

I reckon Mark is in Nigeria to kill all these birds – visit Jobberman, the Andela team he’s invested in, attend the developer workshop, launch Express Wifi AND have policy-centred conversations with the Nigerian government to further Facebook’s cause.

Infinix Hot 4 - Full Review, Specs and Price

We unboxed the Hot 4 a couple of days ago and you can find the images and video on this page. Infinix Hot 4 X557 is a direct successor of the Infinix Hot 3. The Infinix Hot 4 still features a 5.5-inch display, but with an upgrade to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and offers a fingerprint sensor like the recently launched Infinix Hot S. This new smartphone also runs on the new XOS user interface making your phone fully customizable.

The Design and Display

infinx hot 4

Infinix Hot 4 features a 3D textured back which gives you a solid grip of our device. The back covers are available in Blue, Red, Green, Champagne, and Black colours.

Infinix Hot 4 has a 5.5-inch Display with the same 720 x 1280 pixels resolution as its predecessor. 
However, the display offers 12 ultrabright backlight LEDs, which should make for a more brilliant viewing experience and better outdoor view.

There’s absolutely no button on the left side, but on the right side are the volume controls and power button as seen in the below image.

Hardware and Software

infinx hot 4

Infinix Hot 4 runs on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). It is the third smartphone from Infinix to offer Marshmallow. This new smartphone also runs on the new XOS user interface making your phone fully customizable. You can change your theme and fonts without the need of rooting.

Option that allows you change font
Infinix Hot 4 is powered by cortex, which offers a 32-bit address bus and a 1.3GHz quad-core processor.

The phone comes with 2GB RAM. This new smartphone is responsive, fast and performs exceptionally well. Games play just fine and I didn’t notice any lag when using the device. Multitasking works great, the 2GB RAM makes a lot of difference.


This phone also features a fingerprint sensor on the back like the Infinix Hot S which allows you conveniently secure ID access by placing you finger on the scanner right below the 8MP rear camera. 


Connectivity

It’s a dual SIM phone and the call quality was okay during use . Infinix Hot 4 features Smart Voice, which is just a technology that uses an additional microphone and some smart signal processing algorithms to isolate ambient noise for clearer calls. Whether you select SIM 1 or SIM 2 as default for data, you can set either to 3G. As expected, you can connect to the internet through WiFi and use your phone as a wireless hotspot.  You also have bluetooth for file transfer.

Storage

infinx hot 4

The phone comes with a 16GB in-built storage out of which you have almost 12G usable. It’s definitely not enough for people like me but there’s the option of using an external memory. It supports up to 32GB SD card.



Battery Life

infinx hot 4

The battery capacity of this device is 4000mAh and the phone has good battery management and you should be able to use it for 2 days.


The Camera

The front facing camera is getting an upgrade from 2 megapixels in the Hot 3 to 5 megapixels in the latest iteration. This makes the Infinix Hot 4 better for selfies.

There does not seem to be any improvement on the rear facing camera. Infinix Hot 4 still offers an 8 megapixels sensor with a five element lens system on top. This is essentially the same setup as its predecessor. The camera offers an LED flash with autofocus.

One of the things you will notice when you first hold the infinix Hot 4 is that tis device is quite weighty more than the infinix Hot 3. So if you are a fan of a bulky device then this smartphone is definitely for you.

3. This Smartphone Is Not Slim:

Compared with the Hot 3 you will notice that the Hot 4 is not a slim device. The Hot 3 is way more slimmer than the Hot 4.

4. Infinix Hot 4 Possess A Plastic Back Cover

Unlike the Infinix Hot 3 the Hot  comes in a "3D textured" plastic back cover which gives you a solid grip of your device because the texture isn't smooth.

Dear Infinix Fans, i will like to inform you that the notification sensor is also absent from the Infinix Hot 4, lol. But i am also glad to inform you that we still have the front flash and proximity sensor.


7. The Finger Print Sensor Is Very Impressive

The finger print scanning features came on a platter of Gold on the Hot 4. You can conveniently secure ID access by placing you finger on the scanner right below the 8MP rear camera. Judging from my usage, the fingerprint sensor of this device is very impressive and is 99.9% perfect.

Google Duo Finally Available For Download On Google Play Store

Google announced the launch of a video call app at the Google IO 2016 named Google Duo. This app is now available for download and I am already using it. Google Duo is another way Google answers to Apple's Facetime. This app makes face-to-face call with android smartphones and can also make video calls from android to iPhones too as this app is available to iPhone users.

Duo's unique feature is Knock Knock, which gives you a preview of who is calling by firing up the camera on the other end of the line. If you're initiating the call, you'll see a little notice that says your video is visible, which means the other person can see what you're doing right at that moment in real time. Android users can see Knock Knock regardless of whether Duo is opened or not (like on the lock screen). On the iPhone though, you'll only see it if you're in the app. Otherwise, you'll just get a little notification saying someone's calling you. Google's rationale for this is that Knock Knock already gets you smiling before the call starts. Of course, that's assuming you actually like/want to speak to the other person who is on the other line.

You can go and download this app now on play store for android users. Click here to download.


Setting Up Your Google Duo App

After downloading setting up your Google Duo is very easy.

=> Launch the app and click on I AGREE

=> You will be asked to input your mobile number and a verification code will be sent to you.

Wooohooo! After performing the above steps you are ready to use Google Duo. I hope you enjoy this app. Don't leave your feedback in the comment box if you are already using this app.

Negative Effects Of Using Microsoft Word To Compose Blog Posts

Recently, i had problems with my blog. I noticed i had just one post appearing on my blog's homepage when i had set it to show 10 posts on my homepage. I went back to my blog layout settings and checked it but it was still set to 10 posts. I noticed this problem after publishing a post i had composed with microsoft word. Now the question is what could the problem be?

Microsoft word generates some very mysterious and complex HTML "MsoNormal". This HTML affects the blogs pagination. This is why you notice some big blogs with lots of articles suffer from segmentation. This mysterious HTML could also cause the blog to load slowly both in blogspot and wordpress blogs.

So if you have have been copy-pasting from ms word to your blog i will advice you stop using it. Notepad is a preferable text editor which you can use to compose your blog posts and paste it to your blog. But still if you like using microsoft word you can use (CTRL+Shift+V) to paste content to your blog without the "MsoNormal" formatting.
