The Razer Phone - The Peformance Beast

-
Gaming peripheral outfit Razer is launching a smartphone. Yep, just when you thought the year was winding down and tech reviewers could finally take a breather, this newcomer to the smartphone race has thrown its hat into the ring for the first time: hello, Razer Phone.

Razer Inc. (stylized as RΛZΞR), is a Singaporean gaming hardware company founded by Min-Liang Tan and Robert Krakoff, with headquarters in Singapore and San Francisco. You must have heard about its Razer Blade Pro or Stealth Ultrabook.



What you need to know:

The Razer Phone's core specifications are quietly impressive. There's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor inside, complete with 8GB of RAM and 64GB of storage that’s expandable by up to 1TB via microSD. Keeping things running is a massive 4,000mAh battery. It comes with Nougat 7.1.1.

On the front is a 5.7in 120Hz 1,440 x 2,560 IGZO LCD display, complete with a pair of 12-megapixel cameras on the back. One is an f/1.7 wide-angle unit; the other is an f/2.6 2x telephoto zoom effort.

So, it's made for game gods as it is purely performance-centric. It would be really unreasonable to miscalculate it by comparing its aesthetics to top flagships which come with bezel-less displays and strikingly superb cameras.

Performance:


That’s certainly no surprise; inside you’ll find Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 830 powering things, with 8GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. In our benchmarks, yet again, everything was neck and neck.
Graphics performance is a similar story. Running GFXBench’s Manhattan 3.0 test recorded a native resolution onscreen result of 40fps, and an offscreen score of 63fps. It appears that despite the 120Hz display, the Snapdragon 830’s GPU is unable to handle higher framerates at 2K resolution.

In a nutshell:

Razer seems to have done just enough to make a decent impression with the Razer Phone. It might not be the last word in cutting-edge design but with its unique 120Hz display and a laundry list of high-end components, it really does set itself apart from 2017’s other flagships.

How to verify your downloaded files using MD5 Checksum on Windows?

-

MD5 stands for Message Digest version 5 . The MD5 algorithm takes a file (the “message”) of any size, and reduces it down to a code that looks like this: “ac30ce5b07b0018d65203fbc680968f5″ (the “digest”). The brilliant thing about the MD5 algorithm is that if the message changes by so much as a single byte, it will produce a completely different digest. An MD5 sum is a string of letters and numbers that acts like a fingerprint for a file. If two files have the same MD5 sum, the files are exactly alike - which is why MD5 "fingerprints" can verify whether or not your downloaded file got corrupted in transit, hence it is used to verify the integrity of files, as virtually any change to a file will cause its MD5 hash to change. MD5 digests have been widely used in the software world to provide some assurance that a transferred file has arrived intact. For example, file servers often provide a pre-computed MD5 (known as md5sum) checksum for the files, so that a user can compare th...

The World of Technology

Without technology, our lives wouldn't be just the usual walk in the park daily routine. Technology is a huge contributor to the well being of human kind. Just try to imagine how hard it would be to make it through the day without the simplest of technologies. We have grown by using the luxuries that technology provides that many wouldn't know how to adapt to the traditional and simpler methods. Technology has surely proven itself to be very beneficial, if not necessary. Some people may be confused on what exactly technology is? Technology is the systematic study of the methods and techniques employed in industry, research, agriculture, and commerce. These studies are then put to use in order to make daily life much easier. Some might think that technology is not necessary due to the opinion that it brings out the worst in people. The earliest technologies of all time are said to be made during the Paleolithic Era. When these technologies were made, language was a key factor in...

How to check your anti-virus is working or not using anti-malware testfile?

-

Say, you want to test your anti-virus program on your PC. Using real viruses for testing in the real world is rather like setting fire to the dustbin in your office to see whether the smoke detector is working. Such a test will give meaningful results, but with unappealing, unacceptable risks. Since it is unacceptable for you to send out real viruses for test or demonstration purposes, you need a file that can safely be passed around and which is obviously non-viral, but which your anti-virus software will react to as if it were a virus. The good news is that such a test file already exists. A number of anti-virus researchers have already worked together to produce a file that their (and many other) products "detect" as if it were a virus. It's called EICAR.COM anti malware testfile. It is also short and simple - in fact, it consists entirely of printable ASCII characters, so that it can easily be created with a regular text editor. So, without any further ado, lets get d...
