Top Trending technologies in Smartphones of 2015

2015 was a very awesome year for the new technologies and innovations so by remembering all those awesome things that we have seen in 2015. I have selected top 4 technology trends that have changed the way we see technologies. So without wasting much time let's start it

Fast Charging

This is the one of the most common features you have seen in every smartphone in 2015 excepting Apple because it uses its style cable known as Thunderbolt cable. Moving further in fast charging is a fantastic feature for the people who don't have much time to charge their smartphone.By this technology, you can use your smartphone for a longer period of charging very less.This technology is mostly seen with a Qualcomm processor aka Snapdragon. And many you guys know or use this feature by naming it quick charging, turbocharging and many more.

Fingerprint Scanner

Now this is not a new feature that we see in a smartphone.We have seen the first smartphone with a touch id sensor aka fingerprint scanner in Motorola Atrix. And after that, we have seen one of the most responsive fingerprint scanners in Apple 5s.It was an excellent & fast touch sensor ever then Samsung launched its Galaxy s5 and note 3 with a fingerprint sensor and that was a shit a real shit all.It was not very responsive, and it was also very hard to setup for newbies.But after that, many companies started to make smartphones with fingerprint scanners like Nexus, Huawei, Motorola, Coolpad and the list goes on.

Laser Autofocus

This feature is like a blessing for the persons who want to click pictures with their phone.I mean pictures not selfies with making funny mouths :P. This is feature firstly seen in LG G3 in 2014 I think. These features help you to focus on an object fastly, and I think most you are thinking what we can do with focusing on a object and for the answer you can see the pictures below. And now this feature is mostly observed in the Asus laser series

Clicked by me :P (Laser Focused Camera / One Plus 2)

Usb Type-C

Now Usb type-c is a new generation of USB relatively it is based on USB 3.0, and we all know what we get in USB 3.0.It is fast, reliable, can transfer extensive data in seconds and much more. We have seen USB type-C in every flagship killers like one plus 2, Galaxy S6/Edge, Nexus 5x/6p, etc.It is also seen in many laptops like surfacebook, MacBook pro-2015 edition

3D Touch 

This is the one of the best features I have seen in Apple's smartphone. This feature is like awesome.You just have to put a little bit pressure on the icon of the app and boom you will get a short menu by which you do all the fundamental features of the app without opening the app.But for now, this feature is not supported by all apps only some apps like Instagram, stock camera, message and that's all.Hope we will see more apps that will support 3D touch aka force touch

Most of Android are still running on Old Android versions

Google revealed earlier this week that 71.6% of Android users were still using the pre-Lollipop version of the OS. The divisions are as follows: 36.6% of devices are still running Android 4.4 KitKat while a 26.9% of users are still running various versions of Jelly Bean. While the latter was released in 2012 and hasn’t seen an update since October 2013, the former first arrived two years ago.Google Android OS

As for iOS users, a massive 70% of them are running iOS 9 which came out only in September this year. Additionally, iOS 8 is being used to run about 92% Apple devices; an OS released not more than 16 months ago.

Though Android 6.0 Marshmallow has enough things to like about it, many users will have to wait another couple of months before they can run it on their devices. The contrast between iOS and Android updates offers an interesting picture. Perhaps the inertia and stagnation that sets in once the users become accustomed to running a particular OS make them shy away from updates. Other than the availability of the OS what else do you think could keep users away from upgrading their Android devices?

Now in my real time, I am also using Android Kitkat 4.4.4 in my Redmi 2 Prime because it is the most stable version of Android.I also use 6.0.1 in my Micromax Android One (Sprout).I found it quite disappointing because it lots of bugs like sometimes it blurs the whole display while you are launching app drawer (it sucks sometimes) and we all use our smartphone while its full battery is drained and think if your battery can't last longer!.The big reason to worry and that is what is found in Android M (6.0.1).That's why I am using a custom ROM in my sprout with a custom kernel that is helping a lot for making my battery last longer and if you have to

Xiaomi's Mi5 [LEAKED][SPECS]Should launch on 21 JANUARY

Xiaomi may not have revealed launch date of the Mi 5 flagship smartphone. But the company has been buzzing social media with claims that the handset will be "worth the wait" and is "very, very good". A new leak tips that the company may launch the Mi 5 smartphone next year on January 21.

A Weibo tipster claims that Xiaomi will launch two versions of the Mi 5 - one priced at CNY 1,999 (approximately Rs. 20,800) and another at CNY 2,499 (approximately Rs. 26,000). It also claims some of the features of the Mi 5 smartphone including a pressure-sensitive touchscreen, which is in-line with an earlier report that claimed Mi 5 will debut Apple's 3D Touch-like pressure sensitive technology. The Weibo tipster also claims that Mi 5 will be the company's first smartphone running Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

The Weibo tipster has also posted an image that purportedly shows the Mi 5 smartphone. If this picture is accurate, then the Mi 5 will be the first handset in Xiaomi's lineup to sport a physical button. In-line with several previous leaks, the physical home button on the display is likely to serve as a fingerprint scanner.

In a separate leak, Chinese analyst Pan Jiutang has come out to claim that the Mi 5 will not pack Qualcomm's Snapdragon Sense ID 3D fingerprint technology. According to Chinese analyst, the Sense ID is still in early days and is not as reliable as the current technology.

To recall, Qualcomm's Sense ID was launched at MWC and was claimed to be more secure than current implementations thanks to the ability to generate highly detailed 3D fingerprint maps with recognised patterns of sweat glands and ridges.

Based on leaks, the Xiaomi Mi 5 is said to pack an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 v2.1 SoC. However, a separate report had recently claimed that due to a delay in Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 chipsets, Xiaomi may opt for MediaTek deca-core Helio X20 processor. Other purported innards of the Mi 5 include 4GB of RAM; Adreno 530 GPU; a 5.3-inch QHD (1440x2560) pixels resolution display with pixel density of 554ppi; 16GB or 64GB inbuilt storage variants with no option for expandable storage; a 16-megapixel rear camera with dual-LED flash, and a 3030mAh battery.
