HTC GOT US 10 OVER 10.

hey there, its been another while and yes we have our excuses but pardon us for the long intercessions of recent, we will make it up to you all...duly. 

well, well, well, look what we have here, HTC has unveiled its latest flagship (...if you still dont know what the term flagship stands for, then read some of our earlier posts, thanks) and for those who are big HTC fans, you will recall the first of their modern flagships was HTC One but now, this most updated and wow model is named the HTC 10. we like the name, not shabby but lets get down to why you are really reading this shall we.

looking at the key features of the HTC 10, this is what the average Joe should know;

• the design has been slightly changed and we do like, with large chamfered edge all round which seems to help with the grip, capactive keys are at the bottom now and not on screen and the power button has a pattern surface for easy feel. 
• the body is fully metal as previous models but much more reinforced against falls, damages, scratches and the likes, so you have a much more sturdy body even for our rough rural areas.
• the screen is 5.2" in size (the first HTC One was 4.7" so this is slightly larger which is good), has a pixel density of 564ppi (very sharp and contrast rich display) and a 2.5D Gorilla glass display ( keeps away scratches and chips plus is shatter proof, dont go testing that).
• there is a 12MP camera (not the old ultra pixel kind) at the back with a larger aperture sensor to capture good images irrespective of low light, 4k video capture with 2160p quality and hi-res audio plus slow-mo video at 720p 120 frames per sec (very cool, lets redo The Matrix), there's Optical Image Stabilization for shaky hands on both front and back camera (thats a first for front camera ever), the front is 5MP with 1080p video recording (very high quality video format for those into selfie videos).
• for the sound enthusiasts, there is a dual sound speaker in front (its not your typical sound speaker config, just note) and comes with premium head phones out of the box (we think this might be region specific).
• inside we have Android 6.0 (yes Marshmallow), a Snapdragon 820 chipset (as seen in the Xiaomi Mi 5 and Lg G5, top notch chip), 4GB of RAM with either 32GB or 64GB internal storage with MicroSD option. 
• there is now a finger print reader for smart security (no one guesses your finger print details but still wont stop some morons from stealing these).
• the battery has a capacity of 3000mAh plus there is quick charge which gives your device 50% of power from only 30mins of charging.
• regarding connectivity, there is everything a flagship should have, from bluetooth, NFC, WiFi, USB Type C (no longer your micro USB cable or popularly known to us as BlackBerry port), wireless streaming and more.

so there you have it, all you should know and if it is enough for you to upgrade (technically we shuld upgrade our devices every 3 years at most, most). we love the design of the new HTC 10 and it is a full power house contending very well with other flagships out there so it all comes down to preference.

to help you our (preciooouuussss) readers, here is a link that compares the HTC 10 with the HTC One and the HTC M9.

HTC 10 vs One vs M9

and here is another comparison with other flagships like the Samsung S7, LG G5, Xperia X and the Xiaomi Mi 5.

HTC 10 vs LG G5 vs Galaxy S7

HTC 10 vs Xiaomi Mi 5 vs Xperia X Premium

Our Thoughts:

we love and nothing says "hey look at my phone" than this HTC 10's unique metal body build. if you're coming from the much older HTC models, we do recommend this upgrade (if you're into flagships) but if not, you can skip but look into mid-range array of HTC phones from their list here. 

HTC has done a great job with this version 10 but they have to be extremely careful with pricing as they have not been doing so well regarding sales, if the cost is not favorable then customers will branch out to other more affordable flagships. all the best guys and well done.

P.S- do what makes you happy as long as it is not evil, no matter how weird...weird is good.

CONTENDERS STEP FORWARD, GALAXY S7 AND XPERIA X.

Hey there, hope you all have been having a terrific life so far, shame no one wrote us to find out why we were away so long...you're all mean, and we love you irrespective.

Well, well, well...what have we here? two flagship devices gracing the internet and causing a frenzy (...one more than the other though) all at the same time.
Lets meet the heavy hitters shall we;

Samsung has just announced their new flagship device (...you should see our faces) and it's the Samsung Galaxy S7. Yes, yes before you S6 owners start blowing steam just lets be done here okay. It's been roughly a year since the release of the S6 and Samsung has graced (...after horrendous levels of leaks) us all once again with another major flagship for the year. Whats the difference you ask? well, we are all about getting to the point with our views so here goes what the S7 brings to the table;



- slightly thicker in diameter to contain a bigger battery, 3000mAh over the 2550mAh of the S6, in lay terms, the S7 should have significantly better battery life.

- no camera hump as present on the S6, basically its just about design preference for you.

- ooh! water and dust resistant, swimming, showering, water balloon fights are all welcomed. for a timed duration though. (...took you guys at Samsung long enough to put this feature in a flagship than creating a S7 Aqua or something).

- techy stuff now; faster and more powerful processor (...there's the Snapdragon 820 version and Samsung's own Exynos version), latest Android version Marshmallow 6.0 (...which the S6 might never see, or not), fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor, supposedly better camera 12MP rare and 5MP front (...lower MP than previous S6 but then again, its not really about MP these days) with better low light capture, wireless charging and quick charging (...plug the S7 in and get about 80% in 30 mins, sweet), microSD support is back, 32/64 GB internal memory options and 4GB RAM (...seriously, Android needs to get their act together on RAM management).

- and its trademark feature, the ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY (...and NO, its not a battery draining feature as this works like E-Ink technology which if you know about that you'll understand it uses extremely negligible power, cool).

That's basically all you...we need to know about the S7. Techy folks can go elsewhere to seek reviews that dissect the phone antennae for all we care. These are the basics and now you know them.

Moving on, Sony has always captivated us with their designs, the top and bottom bezels (...the space above and below the screen) however have left much to be desired in terms of screen to body ratio but yeah, can't be it all now can we.



The new Xperia X series of phones are the next thing for Sony and there is a mid range device here too but we are not talking about that, the flagship is what we are looking at and it bears the name of the entire lineup...Xperia X Performance (...there's the Xperia X, X Performance and XA).
from the hands-on experience gathered, these are the offerings;

- new design aesthetic from previous Xperia phones with curved edge glass and brushed metal back (...edge to edge display is really pleasing but still looks overly a lot like previous Xperia phones, the brushed back helps grip and the curved edge glass for fluidity).

- every other feature is still very similar to the Xperia Z5; water and dust proof, stereo speakers, microSD support, 23MP rear camera, FM radio with RDS and fingerprint scanner.

- the front facing camera however has been bumped up from 5MP to 13MP (...those crazy about selfies will appreciate this).

- other techy details include; 3GB of RAM, 32GB internal storage and a faster Snapdragon 820 processor which means faster CPU (...for multiple app processing) and GPU (...for intensive graphic games).



Our thoughts:
So there you have them, thinking of changing your device (...unless you REALLY know the use of such high end devices), these are on the top list of fresh out the oven devices to keep your productivity going but we must warn, they do cost a pretty penny and knowing the exchange rate of where you might be purchasing from...we'll advice you think long and hard before making such a change.

Both devices are superb and beautiful in every aspect, it all comes down to personal preference. Great Job to Samsung and Sony on these and here's to a successful sellout to both.

HEARD OF THE MiTV3??? OTHER BRANDS PLEASE TAKE THE BACK SEAT.

Hi there, after what seems like an eternity crisscrossing the net for interesting enough tech news (...and watching cat videos), here we are again with something you need to give attention too...literally you need to.

XIAOMI is a popular Chinese phone manufacturer that if you haven't heard of by now then you seriously need to question your reality...tech wise (...if you're not a techy, don't fret). They make Android powered devices like the Redmi and Mi phone, note and tab series lineup (...here is a link XIAOMI DEVICES). Their devices are pretty awesome as they emphasize on premium quality devices at way cheaper cost of purchase, thus giving top vendors like Samsung, LG, SONY and co a serious run for the market share. Sadly, their devices but rarely make it out of Chinese markets to other countries but the company is working on making their products available to the international market. For now, if you ever want to get one of their devices, you probably will need contacts that route the Asian countries frequently (...just Google too, that always works).

The Xiaomi company is extending their device product range to bring us the MiTV and apparently, this is the 3rd generation of their TV (...funny how the world missed the first two generations). What really got us intrigued by the MiTV is its everything. from concept, build quality, screen output, ports, functionality and dimensions, This TV is truly impressive and oh, lets not even get started on the price.

The images should speak for themselves, enjoy.

OUR THOUGHTS:

We love the new MiTV3, it is sleek, gorgeous and efficient, the price clearly beats down those of more popular brands who would offer similar speced devices. the concept of separating the screen from the main console is truly genius which will see customers happy and less worried over casualties. The multi-functional port console is really great too allowing for USB, HDMI and even LAN connections for internet connectivity. The smart TV U.I is exceptional, allowing access to Google Playstore for app downloads and streaming. 

Really, what else could you ask for with the price tag of 6000CYN (...188,081.13 in Naira) giving that to get a more popular brand of TV with all these specs (...not this concept though and certainly not all these specs) will cost you x2 if not more. 

We sincerely hope when this MiTV3 launches, it will be available to the international market and if it wont, it will be a good idea for some company to invest in making it available locally.

Well done Xiaomi.

TV JUST GOT MORE ADDICTIVE,...HAVE AN APPLE WITH THAT.

So the big Apple event held on Sept 9 2015 is come and gone, most of you must have been wondering..."why didn't we cover something about this???", well, we are not mobile tech bloggers but more about concepts...design and tech concepts mostly. Frankly, we didn't see anything blowing our heads over for (...not entirely true, thus this post). Something did however catch our attention and we are bringing it to you now.

With the Apple Event came a number of unveiling such as the iPhone 6S and 6S+, a couple of new iPad, software improvements for the iWatch and the soon to be released IOS 9 (...if you really want to know all the juicy details about all these, well, you're online). Among all the unveiling, there it was...the Apple TV 2015 (...Apple TV 2nd edition too if you like).

It's Apple TV, not much fuss eh...you'd say, but lets look a bit into its details. lets outline some of the key-points of the new Apple TV 2015 shall we;

• it connects to your home TV via HDMI (...every TV these days has that port so check).
• connects via ethernet port to the internet to provide content like an iPad.
• it is small and discrete, minimalistic design will blend with your living room or wherever you put it.
• it has a UI and UX very much like a blown out Apple App Store, soothing and easy to navigate (...user interface and user experience, two different things so read up on them).
• the remote control has direct link to use Siri (...Apples Virtual Assistant) for searches, control certain media playback and quite much more. It also has a touch area for easy scrolling, swiping and general navigation.
• it provides rich content streaming services, like YouTube, CNN, Disney, ESPN...and so much more.
• you can rent and watch your favorite movies and TV show (...Avengers 2, Game of Thrones etc)
• not just movies and shows but your music is there with a sort of if not exactly iTunes service.
• now you can also get dedicated games on the Apple TV like you would your iPad and play with your wide screen TV (...ding! ding!! ding!!! we are sold).
• there are thousands of Apps that will be available to install and use, from media streaming, games, educational, sports, creativity, reading and so much more.
• it is not expensive (...knowing how Apple products and the word expensive are usually synonymous, this is good news).

All said and so not done, we think having this device in our homes will bring so much more entertainment and productivity to the table, not just home but also in your office (...private office or staff lounge). We could take online courses through certain apps on a much wider view, watch all our favorite shows without cable TV and certainly not on your laptop or tablet anymore (...those can be saved for more on-the-go work), play all your top-end games like Asphalt, Injustice, Modern Combat, FIFA, Infinity Blade and so on.

The remote bundled with the Apple TV 2015 deserves its own paragraph entirely (...we will only be brief however) as it brings a whole new level of interaction with the Apple TV. Allowing for touch navigation and game controls, it will certainly be improved over time to do things like pinch to zoom and pan (...possibly the next model will include force touch as seen in the new iPhone 6+...at least you should have learnt that much about the new iPhones).

Our thoughts:

We love the updates brought to the new Apple TV, it is quite refreshing and we cannot wait to get one to fully experience it. Yes, it relies a lot on online content and depending on where you are in the world, it could be a bit of a hassle but that too is changing as internet services are getting more affordable and reaching even more areas around the world. 

There's the competition, Nexus Player from Google (...yes, Google has theirs, stop living in your cave) which offers very similar content but it appears to lack behind that of Apple right now. A refreshed model though of the Nexus Player should bring some serious competition but for now, the Apple TV 2015 is it. At $150 for the 32GB version and $200 for the 64GB, we say TV could not get any better right now. 

well done Apple, and all the best.

P.S- try and read a book every now and then. If books are not your thing, then read intelligent articles/post online at least everyday.

"VENICE" HAS ITS WAY WITH LOOKS AND ANDROID...YES IT IS A BB.

A while back, we heard rumors of a BB Slider and soon after, we saw images of what it will look like. Not much detail was know but it will now appear that BlackBerry has been working hard to get into the market hard with the all new BlackBerry Venice. The device has been shown to run on Android via live images and even videos (...we don't have a link to a video but YouTube should) which as you can see in the images, it was not supposedly running such.
If you don't still understand what we are trying to let you know, lets simplify it shall we;

• the new BB Venice will not be running BBOS, whether surface or underneath. It will be running Pure Android (...mostly pure) and most likely Lollipop 5.1 (...with a good chance of Android Marshmallow 6.0 update).

• you wont be using BB World on it for app downloads and management, you will be using the Play Store of Google which is what Android uses.

• you will have a plethora of Android apps to install on your BB making it as efficient as any other Android device out there (...like Samsung, Sony and Co.)

• your BBM will be there as the major messaging app plus BB is most likely going to install their own security features on the Venice which if you know one thing about BB, it is that their security is tight (...very tight).

There, so now you have a more decent understanding of what to expect from the BB "Venice" (...nice name by the way). This device certainly has our attention and we will keep up with it, Personally we will like to see the BB Classic come with an option to download and install an Android OS update via their official site, this will allow more users the flexibility of trying out both BBOS and Android OS to choose their best fit (...plus we just think Android Lollipop will suite the BB Classic more).
Well done BlackBerry, and all the best with the "Venice" (...did we mention how cool the name is? haha).

P.S- when you are on the internet, be sure you are learning 80% of the time and not wasting 80% of your time.

WINDOWS 10 AFTER UMMM...TWO WEEKS, SHE KNOWS.

Hey there! so we got our free upgrade to windows 10 a couple of weeks back and we were opportune to upgrade two devices and test them from different platforms, one was upgraded from Windows 7 and the other from Windows 8.1. That being said, we are sure you are just ready for the conclusion and we kinda dislike stalling (...which an average blogger masters in order to keep you longer on their blog) so here goes.

The Windows 7 was a laptop and after installing our free upgrade to windows 10 heres what we made out of it;

• we had Windows 7 home and so we got Windows 10 home when we upgraded.
• Cortana didn't work as anticipated due to region and language settings that somehow no matter what we tried in manipulating the settings to get her to work (...with voice commands and dictations, not the search thing) she just did not want to give in.
• there was a lot of freezing and slow start-up/shut-down, over the top CPU usage thus lots of generated heat and the memory was almost at all times completely being utilized.
• on the plus side, the apps previously installed all worked perfectly without a hitch and no files were tampered with.
• other features of Windows 10 worked as expected like Edge browser, the multi-desktop and the app store.
• the new music player forced closed a number of times but eeerrr its kinda more stable after consistent use.
• overall, Windows 7 (...home particularly, that's what we tested) upgraded to Windows 10, starts off in the most uncomfortable way(...more like "you're gonna want to smash your system" kinda way) but later on tends to get less annoying and more productive but be warned, it will try your patience.

On to the Windows 8.1 update, this is as detailed as we can get on our experience;

• the initial transition was slow and draggy, we guess its a phase thing but it wasn't as crazy as that of the Windows 7 transition.
• we got Windows 10 pro as we updated from windows 8.1 pro (...the pro version is way more productive, trust us).
• Cortana worked at her best with no setting tampering, she was up and ready immediately we were done installing.
• all main features of Windows 10 worked excellently.
• odd how we did not experience such memory choke and CPU over working here, all systems were just right like we never moved from Windows 8.1 and we guess is has a lot to do with the fact that both Windows 10 and 8/8.1 have a sort of similar backbone unlike Windows 7 which is like a total stranger.
• all in all, we are enjoying our transition and its not so obviously different from Windows 8.1 (...the start screen is gone and we have the start menu though, don't worry, you'll like it)

In conclusion, we did take our time using both and we still are, overall we are finding the transition very interesting and quite refreshing in the sense that its a familiar stranger sort of upgrade. One thing we must however point and stress out is how much data the new Windows 10 digs into of you, it is very very very personal like "white on rice" personal, monitoring, suggesting, understanding your usage and interaction generally (...she is like a enamored stalker that must have you at all cost) so be weary about that and carefully go through your settings to limit as much info as you can which you don't want her to access (...like us, we just don't feel so comfortable with her hands literally everywhere).

You should be excited to update (...if you have not already) and we can say it is a go if you're coming from Windows 8/8.1. however, from Windows 7, well...it is not a bad idea but be ready for the tantrums your system will throw at you. if you survive that, then you most certainly will enjoy Windows 10 in all her glory.

On a last note, enjoy this display of how Cortana relates with you (...she is really smart, smarter than yours). 

P.S- sorry for the delayed review, no excuses to give...only apology to you our number one reader. love you lots.

THE XPERIA M5 BLURS THE LINE BETWEEN TOP-END AND MID-RANGE...OH YES IT DOES.

We love Xperia phones, their build, style, quality and charm just leaves you and anyone around, mesmerized. They certainly know how to keep every range of their mobile devices appealing.

Sony Xperia has announced the C5 and M5 but we are more interested in the M5 (...sounds like a name from MI5) and these features will explain in itself why it piqued our interest.
The main features of the M5 we are noting include;

• the Xperia M5 is water and dust proof (...it doesn't pick up on dust nor allows it into its build and incase you want to ask, it can take a shower and probably a dip with you).
• the M5 has a whooping 21.5MP rear camera with 5x zoom without image quality loss (...okay, we like, very much) and on the front it has a 13MP auto-focus camera with full HD recording (...these camera MP ratings should be respected and not, we repeat, NOT be compared to those ugly China phones flooding the market, this is SONY).
• it has a 5" full HD screen producing vivid colors and sharp images with the Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine installed. The details look stunning and the viewing angles are amazing.
• under the hood we have a 64-bit Octa Core processor, 3GB RAM and 16GB internal storage with support for external storage up to 200GB (...hey Sony, easy, we are already impressed).
• a two day battery life thanks to the 2600mAh battery installed and yes it comes with 4G and NFC connectivity (...not certain about dual-SIM, what is it with you people and dual-SIM?).
• excellent Omni-balance design with metal frame and front and rear glass protection just kills the M5 with style (...is it just us or are we over excited about this device? meh! its most likely just you).

We have given the basics about this device and we are sure you are already head over hills for it, what will really pull the trigger now is the price and from rumors...it will probably be between $300 - $400, do the maths in your local currency. It will be released this August to the market but which market receives it earlier...we can not say.

Our thoughts:

We are truly impressed by the specifications of the Xperia M5, it truly treads in the territory of flagship device and thus should not be overlooked. With major flagships costing so much (...an arm and a leg mostly) it is very bold of Sony to put up a device that irrespective of the mid-fees, will provide the user with competitive top tier performance. At least we can say that certain 2014 flagships are lacking in certain strong areas that the Xperia M5 stands head high in.
Thinking of changing your device this year (...or even next year) without conforming to the madness of flagships, then note the Xperia M5 down as a possible option (...there's the Moto G 3rd Gen too).
Well done Sony.

P.S- if you host a party and there are party packs, make sure everyone gets one...everyone.

WELCOME WINDOWS 10 AND WE ARE SOOO EXCITEEEEEED...WAIT LETS US TAKE SNAPSHOTS!!!

Windows 10 became official yesterday 29 July 2015 (...we will like to read this in 10 years and remember the feeling) and all geeks are losing it, downloads are happening, settings being modified, terms and conditions read and approved (...who ever reads those). A lot of hype did go into the emergence of Windows 10 and with it finally out, well...lets see whats it is really about and how it changes everything.

We got our free reservation of Windows 10 but since we just couldn't wait any longer for the auto-install update, we went ahead and got it all installed (...yes, you can do that officially), and viola!!! we are now running on the latest update to the Windows OS. We are so excited to see what it can really do and how much change it brings but here are some snapshots of ours running. 

Windows 10 brings the following to the table;

• Virtual personal assistant Cortana that you can talk and type to when in need of info. 
• Revamped browser with functionalities like "read later", "scribble, save and send pages" and "Cortana" syncing.
• Multiple work screens with each not affecting the performance of the other.
• Returned and improved start menu.

No more typing, we are going exploring so that's that. we will give our full hands-on experience after a week (...next Friday, hopefully). This should help you all who are not certain if this upgrade is for you or not. So relax and wait on us to fill you in before you make your choice. Upgrades are not all rosy (...especially at launch) but don't fret because we will make sure you know what you're doing thus avoiding nuisances and regrets.

P.S- reading can be fun, school makes it boring but it really can be fun and you should never stop reading.

MOTO 2015 LINE-UP HAVE GOT OUR MOJO WORKING, YOURS TOO.

 Hey there people, its been a while (...more like eternity) we got a post for you but somehow there was just too much (...but little inspiring) concepts and techs to post about but we got something to get our mojo flowing again and its all thanks to Motorola.

The pure Android phone manufacturers have just announced the release of their 2015 line up of devices and we must say, we do find them stunning and tempting. 

Introducing the Moto G 2015, Moto X Style and Moto X Play. these three devices smartly cut into all categories of class, the Moto G for the low-end, the Moto X Play for the mid-range and the Moto X Style for the high-end, plus they seem to do their job in each aspect they represent.

Looking at the quick specs sheet,

• Moto X Style is simply beautiful in craftsmanship, it comes with a brilliant 5.7" Quad HD gorilla glass protected display (...exceedingly sharp and crisp with 551ppi), a "Motorola Mobile Computing System including a 1.8GHz Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 808 with hexa-core CPU (MSM8992), Adreno 418 GPU, Natural Language Processor, and Contextual Computing Processor", front facing speakers with stereo sound, a 3000mAh battery for all day use (...it better be more than a day), water repellent coating for splashes and accidental dunks (...we wouldn't advise swimming), 21MP camera with zero shutter lag, rapid focus and color-balancing flash (...the what now?) plus a 5MP front facing camera with flash also (...very nice). internal memory options are 16, 32 and 64GB with external micro-SD of course. RAM is 3GB and the usual connectivity options are available including NFC.

• Moto X Play is the mid-ranger here with a 5.5" full HD display of 403ppi and gorilla glass protection, a 3630mAh battery to keep you going for two days (...certainly more depending on usage). the processor is a "Motorola Mobile Computing System including 1.7GHz Qualcomm®Snapdragon™ 615 Octa-core CPU, Adreno 405 @ 550 MHz GPU, Natural Language Processor, Contextual Computing Processor" which is very capable of runing your power hungry games and apps quite easily. memory options are 16 and 32GB while RAM is 2GB. all other features are same as its high-end sibling (...mostly).

• Moto G 2015, the low-end device doing big things comes with a 5" HD display of 294ppi and Gorilla glass protection, 2470mAh of battery for all day use (...more or less), a "Qualcomm® Snapdragon(TM) 410 (MSM8916) processor with 1.4 GHz quad-core CPU, Adreno 306 with 400 MHz GPU " which is an upgrade from last years Moto G model (...we used one and it did surprisingly well like a mid-range), 8GB internal memory with microSD option and 1GB of RAM (...okay, this part we frown on, WHY? 16GB with 2BG RAM should have been it). it has a 13MP rear camera with a quick capture function and color-balancing flash, the front is a 5MP one with display flash (...both are improved upgrades from the previous), splash proof and all connectivity options are present...oops! no NFC here. 

Our thoughts:

We love, love and love all three devices, one thing (...among others) about Moto phones is the pure Android O.S installed in them, no bloatware (...ahem, Sammy) or such annoyances. If you have ever used a pure Android device then you'll understand. The build and specs of these devices will appeal to all class of power users definitely and it would appear their prices are just right too (...yep, we are not putting them up). Moto products are not big here in Nigeria and its almost a divine scene when people see our Moto phone and ask which brand to be answered "its Motorola". As a customer, we cannot guarantee you will readily be able to get these devices locally but a bit of digging wont hurt and we will be glad to take your orders too.

WELL DONE MOTOROLA...(we are not fan boys btw).

YOUR EYES JUST GOT AN UPGRADE...BULLET TIME ANYONE???

 We've always wondered if our eyes could be modified somehow to do more than what it can without added strain or stress and then as curiosity would have it,...we stumbled upon this pretty neat technology concept that provides such a solution.

The company is MHOX (...google or Bing them to know more), a generative design studio in Italy and they are proposing this very interesting concept for synthetic eyeballs that are 3D printed (...dont know what a 3D printer is??? start researching) and will be equipped with a number of amazing features.

Named EYE (...Enhance Your Eye, literally thats what its called), there will be three concepts for clients/patients to select from.

• EYE Heal, which its main functions are to cure blindness, eye diseases and deterioration.

• EYE Enhance, this version will provide the extra of sharper vision, given the patient 15/10 vision (...we have 20/20 vision which is lower in resolution and quality, do your research), it will have a built in camera to sync to your devices and get this...swallow-able pills to activate different filters (...temporarily we hope).

• EYE Advance, added will be a wi-fi modem that can be activated by taking a pill to sync online directly (...we are not sure the extent of the wi-fi usage, like internet access directly from the eye or something).

Now be aware, clients will have to get their natural eyes surgically removed to be replaced with an artificial retina receptor that will allow interchanging of EYE by the user without even seeing a specialist (...kinda creepy interchanging eyes, but kinda cool too).

This is all a concept but seems work has already commenced to making this a reality, what can we say, the future of bio-technology will only keep getting more interesting.

Our Thoughts:

We think this is really cool and all, having a synthetic eye or pair of eyes that can do so much over the ones we have, plus it eliminates the fear of becoming blind or getting eye diseases that could leave one without an eye (...or two), having one less part of your body to worry about is relieving. 

We would like to see the EYE concept integrate things like the following; 

• Increase the viewing frame rate by gesture control (...or winking or blinking in sequence, that will do too), allowing users to see otherwise very fast movements we cant normally follow.
• Night mode and day mode, allowing users to see at higher details in the darkest of night and in the brightest of day, it can go as far as thermal vision and flash bang auto protect mode for military usage (...or Secret Agent usage).
• Another thing we will like implemented is the ability for EYE to keep track and monitor the view area constantly for familiar identities, threatening situations and mapping (...should you be looking for a location or are lost).

It will really be a significant invention if...rather when implemented, we could collaborate with the team behind this and create our own models with the listed functions (...you never know). We love this concept and wish MHOX all the best in making this a reality.

P.S - don't be afraid to imagine, let your imaginations run wild, you never know what great revelation could come in.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN BE A DESIGNER...FOR ONCE BE HONEST.

This is an info graph we stumbled upon and to all our readers/ followers/ listeners (...yes we have an audio blog, Foxcast) we say take the test and join us or keep following (...we love you just the way you are).

Graphic designing is not something you stumble upon (...so is blogging, not the blog re-posters to be clear), you got it in you or learn it fully only to be treated in most cases like you learnt it overnight and don't deserve to be professional about it (...avoid free loaders who want your work for free and are crafty about it too). If you got it, follow up and don't let down, its not a buttery road, and 7 out of 10 times you will be blank on ideas (...don't beat yourself up about that, letting your mind drift helps A LOT) but its only part of your growth so keep at it, you'll amaze a whole lot of people.

So here it is, follow the choices (...honestly) and see where you end up.

P.S - be original in everything you do, its better to deliver nothing than be an imitator. 

* we lost the source site, when we do get it, we will update here.

REUSABLE BOTTLES ARE JUST PERFECT...FOR DRINKING "ANYTHING".

 Another week and another set of innovative concept creations to learn about. Plastic bottles leave us all with one thought, crush and toss anywhere once done with. Even recycling is just a joke to the majority (...admittedly, even here the issue of recycling is almost nearly not practiced) as provision to carry out such is scarce (...or not, depending on your country and state).

This genius concept creator named Niki Singlaub has provided quite a solution we do say, that is also very "handy". Named the "Hydaway", this collapsible plastic bottle can be used and reused as long as your foot wears (...unless you're the type that literally wears your footwear to extinction then no, this wont do). They can hold up to 600 ml (...that's about 60 cl of your favorite drink) and when its empty, you just collapse it like crushing a can into a disc form. BRILLIANT!!!

The material used in making these is food-grade silicone (...we know, just don't try what you're thinking). Such silicone materials are bio-degradable and will not become poisonous over time to you or the environment plus they can last longer than regular plastic and are more hygienic.

Our thoughts:
Its light, reusable, comes in various appealing colors and holds enough liquid to satisfy you. We will like to point out that it also is quite a mischievous creation as there's no way to tell what the owner is actually drinking from observing (...perfect). Any one interested should look into investing in it, we will like to also encourage private companies and even the government to look into this as it could help in reducing environmental liter and also reduce production costs for certain companies (...we hope), its a great "water bottle" to say for all professions and space of people.
Well done Niki, all the best.

P.S- do you know how a laser printer works? you should do some reading, learning is fun...unless you're dead. cheers!

OUR PORTFOLIO SAYS...RED.

design evolves and quite fast too, you either keep up or get dumped on the shelf. there was 3d designs and now its flat designs (...you most likely don't get it but a little google reading will help). however, bending the trend to be distinct is a thing every designer should play with (...yes its fun for us) and occasionally too.

here's our portfolio, we sure you'll love it and request your company's profile be redone by us and it will be our pleasure (...just be prepared to have your senses go Kaa-BOOM!!!, or something like that).

yep! that's a wrap. However do not linger on this concept as we wont either, sitting still aint our thing, hmmm! shades of gray, touch of silver and burgundy...lets see.

p.s you should have pizza with your friends occasionally, it might be annoying but you will be glad you did.

SMART WATCHES ARE IT, OUR CONCEPT IS PERFECT...WE DO SAY.

Hey there, the week seems new but it seems loooong already for us. Smart watches are a thing and they will only keep getting better with time in both design and functionality. No one company can dominate the tech world but having big guns (...meaning having impressive tech) will always stand them out from the rest.

Check out our Concept Smart Watch done entirely with with an iPad app "SketchBookX", we did this on an iPad mini and take our word, drawing with your fingers alone on these things IS not EEEEEAAASSSYYYY.

Enjoy.

The functionality and features of the device will not be explained here but studying the diagrams should give a hint at certain killer features not implemented yet.

We will really like to see our concepts taken up in partnership/sponsorship with us (...DigiFOX Concepts, yep us) under start-up to become a major contender in the market.

P.S ideas run the world and keep it running, we got them, a lot of them. oh! kindly do not steal this, that's not cool.

we got you.
