Is Google Pixel Worth the Market Hype?

The two top smartphone leaders increased the smartphone standards in the android market and the rivalry between the two had taken a new turn with the latest products iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy Note 7 being launched in the market. Just after this Google launched its first ever smartphone google pixel and spiced up the rivalry between the two leaders. But this newcomer was underestimated by the leaders of the smartphone market. But who knew that this newcomer may become big.

And then we had the explosion of the Galaxy Note 7 hitting the headlines. According to ET data and statistics, Google launched its first-ever smartphone at a time when People in India who couldn’t afford an iPhone and were waiting for an upgrade to the Galaxy Note 7 were devastated. Samsung being hit with this catastrophe saw a decrease in its sales and iPhone 6 and 6s users with a thought of experiencing something new started diverting over to the Google Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, this lead to Google capturing a 10% share of the premium smartphone market within 17 days of its launch.

Google had shipped 33,000 units of Pixel and Pixel XL to India and due to all this Apple strengthened its position with a market share of 66%, Samsung dropped with a market share of 23% and Google gained a position with a market share of 10%. Google Pixel gained grounds in the Indian market and was listed among the top three smartphones in the premium market at a time when it was finding acceptance in India.

Leaving no stone unturned and with the aim of capturing a good market share, Google did everything to lure the Indian buyers starting with exchange programs, Interest-free EMI, Cashback and even invested a large amount in online and offline advertising. Slowly Google started finding and acceptance in Indian markets and the features it offered at a price range of Rs.57,000 to Rs.76,000 it gained preference a little fast.

Google Pixel and Pixel XL is the first attempt made by Google to launch a smartphone which is a Google-only effort from top to bottom. The Pixel and Pixel XL were launched in three colors Quite Black, Very Silver and Really Blue and in two variants one with an internal storage of 32GB and the other with 128GB. Google Pixel has a 5.0 inches’ screen, a resolution of 1080*1920 pixel with a pixel density of 441ppi. It has a Snapdragon 821 chipset, a Quad core processor, 4GB of RAM, 12.3 Mega Pixels back camera and 8 Mega Pixels front camera and a rear fingerprint sensor. Its successor the Pixel XL has a 5.5 inches’ screen, a resolution of 1440*2560 pixels with a pixel density of 534 ppi, Snapdragon 821 chipset, a Quad core processor, 12.3 Mega Pixels rear camera and 8 Mega Pixels front camera.

During the launch, Google had announced that both Pixel and Pixel XL would be coming with the latest Android Nougat (7.1) preinstalled and would be receiving regular Android and security updates.

There were many reasons for the people preferring the Google Pixel and Pixel XL over other android phones and iPhone 7. Some of them are:

1. Pixel flashed a flat user interface with a slicker and a more versatile looking operating system. This made many things a lot easier to use than they were previously.
2. With a better pixel density, the Pixel and Pixel XL featured more saturated and vibrant colors as compared to the boring but accurate colors of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
3. Google’s announcement that Pixel and Pixel XL would be receiving regular software and security updates with a better software support, part and a fuss-free and clean Android 7.1 with new features and bug fixes for the next two years made it a very big deal in the android market.
4. A better pixel density, the Pixel XL was superior among iPhone 7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge.
5. Pixel and Pixel XL with the AI technologies and a better accent recognition made a real difference as compared to the Siri in iPhones and applications like Google Photos that gave an unlimited storage made pixel and Pixel XL truly exemplary.

So, with all these features and Indian market being a price sensitive market it is a little difficult to conclude that would Google Pixel and Pixel XL be easily making a mark in the Indian market in competition with the iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy Note 7 as there may be some probability of Samsung launching a new product a little better than Pixel and Pixel XL in the near future. So, the competition continues between Samsung and Pixel as iPhone cannot be afforded by all in the Indian market. But as per the present scenario, it is clear that there are maximum chances of Google making a mark in the Indian market.

Nokia is back again with an awesome smartphone

Exactly it cannot be said that Nokia is back. It has been relaunched by the HMD Global by the name Nokia. Of course, it was the best companies during its birth and has been the best. Until it decided to launch the Nokia XL and try their hands on the android market. Company was leading with its windows phones in the market. But the idea of launching and trying its hands in the android market was the reason that took it down. XL did not perform well in the market and it led to the downfall of one of the most reputed companies.

medianet_crid = “510873474”;
medianet_versionId = “3111299”;

After the launch of company’s Android range smartphones. There were so many people who were unhappy with this move of this phone. Slowly the company started falling and now it has come to a platform where it is almost shut. It’s windows phones have been the best in the market from the time they were introduced in the market till today.

It’s Windows phones had been an exclusive product by Nokia. After it had been acquired by Microsoft. Slowly and steadily as the competition in the market increased the company started to fall behind. It’s devices getting a little outdated. After the acquisition by Microsoft company had improved its place in the market. But till then the competition had increased so much that it could not survive in the market. Nokia had always been ahead of time but its late entry into the android market. Slowly getting updated to the latest trend led to the downfall of this company.

After HMD Global bought the body rights on Nokia, the Nokia 3310 was launched. It created a very big hype in the whole market and it felt like the company had emerged once again from the ashes. 3310 has always been the best phone as its predecessor 15 years ago. But in today’s competitive market it became a secondary phone for the user market. But the love will never die to be it in the market or in the hearts of the users.

Recently Nokia’s 3,5 and 6 have been announced at the MWC 2017 but they have not been able to create a hype as its rumored D1C had created. Now it has been decided that in the next month company would be launching Nokia 3,5,6,7,8,9 and also the rumored Nokia edge. The only difference in these phones in the better Snapdragon processor inside it. But it is being said that company will be just announcing these devices but they will be available from August, again it is a wrong step by Nokia. The company does not have production units but they are announcing it beforehand.

medianet_height = “90”;
medianet_crid = “510873474”;
medianet_versionId = “3111299”;

Companies like Xiaomi can produce the products and presently Xiaomi is taking over the market, so if Nokia does not roll out its product urgently in the market then Xiaomi make take over it, leaving it no chance of gaining a hand in the market. This may be the turning point for the mobile company if the launch which is due in the next month really happens with the devices available as per the bookings and the devices create a hype and steal the market. so, it happens then truly Nokia would be claiming it LOST THRONE BACK AGAIN.

Should everyone become vegetarian to save animals on this planet?

Friends, read this with an open mind. Please keep aside religious reservations, feelings of mercy and kindness towards animals. All that is justified, but not enough to prove the point that animals can be saved by giving a wide berth to non-vegetarianism. Friends, I eat meat. And I like non-vegetarian food. (Many of our dear readers can also relate to it). If I cannot defend it, then I should be called a hypocrite.

According to a 2015 statistics, 375 million out of the 7.5 billion people in the world are vegetarian. That makes a paltry 0.05%. And why not?

A man has been created to eat meat. Our stomachs, our intestines, bacteria in our digestive tracts, all have evolved to make us meat-eaters.

We humans are omnivores by nature, that is, we have incisors, molars as well as canine teeth.

The human body requires amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. They are responsible for strength, repair, and rebuilding inside our body. Our tissues, our cells, our enzymes and our brain all get their nourishment and protection from amino acids. Out of the 20 amino acids that our body requires, 9 are not produced in the human body. We have to obtain them from the external diet, and meat supplies it as a whole.

The matter will be to realize that though almost the entire population is non-vegetarian, none of the animals have gone extinct or even endangered in the last hundred thousand years of human existence. It is another thing that even if that were the case, we couldn’t have left eating meat just to save them!

Moreover there are places all over the earth where a single blade of grass doesn’t grow. People in these areas exclusively depend on meat. So, rationally, humans could not have spared the animals to endanger themselves.

The fish, the prawn, the crab, the chicken, the goat or the lamb, none of these animals appear even scarce today. On the contrary, the animals that have become extinct or endangered now have rarely been used as food. They are mostly country-specific. Just like the Chinese Giant Salamander, an endangered species, which a considered a delicacy in China. These are some exclusively rare cases.

The human civilization just pursues the diktat of the God Almighty. Not only humans, the animals to follow a pattern. They eat what they are supposed to eat. This is designed to keep equilibrium in the number of each of the living beings.

We have been studying about the Food Chain since our primary classes. If the tiger doesn’t eat the deer, its existence is doubtful. So the tiger goes on eating the deer and both of them are surviving on this Earth. Similarly, humans also occupy the topmost position of the food chain and hence, need meat for their survival.

There is another fact too.

If the humans stop eating meat, nobody would take care of the animals and eventually, they would perish.

Hence, I would suggest that it may not be appropriate to forego non-vegetarian food, just to save the animals since it can undermine our own existence.

It is my humble request to all the vegetarian and non-vegetarian friends out there, to share their views regarding this topic in the Comments section below.

(This is a purely debatable topic. Everyone’s opinion is highly welcome. No intention to hurt anybody’s sentiments.)

Startups: 5 Steps To Get Your Finances Back On Track

Having a startup?

A start-up comes with the diversity of responsibilities; keeping the finances on track is one of them. But you are too busy about working on the business idea instead of planning for the finances!

“Organised finance is a key to establishing and maintaining a booming business.”

Establishing a strong financial infrastructure is critical when starting a new business. It can be a major reason for stress for founders. But you can avoid it unless you are starting up your own accounting firm.

Managing your startup’s finances is not as complicated as you thought and can save you a ton of stress down the road. Monitor what’s going on today will help you to control your business’ future. It includes monitoring business’ key financial metrics consistently and effectively.

You should make a checklist when it comes to prepping the business finances. A pre-planning goes a long way, below are the tips for getting your start-ups finances in order.

These are the five key steps to getting your finances back on track:

1. Separate your accounts

Personal and business accounts stay separate; it should be the first thing on your to-do list which is often an overlooked mistake. Separating your personal and business accounts will help you to sort out the business expenses and deductions to keep business financials clean.

This is the most natural move to mix the two especially when you are running a small business. Set up the finances and maintain the separate accounts for business transactions in a way so that you can easily keep track on your business expenditures and keep confusion at bay.

2. Organise hard copies of your invoices

If you are organizing a small business, it’s easy to let a stack of bills piling up. But for measuring the financial status of the business, it’s important to take care of your business invoices.

Although invoices are not the most energizing part of being an entrepreneur they are something which cannot be avoided in any business and should manage efficiently.

3. Set up an accounting system

To get your business on the track, setting up an accounting system for your business considered a requisite movement. Before selecting any accounting system make sure what exactly your business need.

At the end of each quarter, many clients come with a shoe box which is full of receipts. Accountant emptied the box, tallied the expenses and reconciled the bank accounts. Finally, the financial statements delivered.

You decide which system is best the accounting system or the shoe box method.

4. Enlist your tools

Keeping the business finance on track can feel like a never-ending job. From organizing the invoices to expenses to daily accounting, it’s a wonder to get the time for any other task.

Technology brought about a multitude of tools to save the time of small businesses and headaches on daily financial tasks. The registration of a trademark is as important as registering a domain name because it gives intellectual property rights to protect your brand. In the realm of online, much online software is available which you can implement to track your business finance. They are less expensive with a superior combination of customizability, usability and accounting toolset.

5. Don’t forget the taxes

For every entrepreneur, tax time is the most stressful time period. But if you manage all the business finance efficiently throughout the year, it won’t trouble as you might think. Paying taxes as a business owner make you feel a lot more daunting than paying as an employee.

All you can do is open a separate tax saving account and put a percentage of every payment straight into the tax saving account. This will help you when the tax season rolls around.
