Sony’s 8-MegaPixel Camera Is Expected In iPhone 5

These days we are hearing many rumors regarding iPhone 5, but the most expected thing we can see in iPhone 5 is Sony’s 8 Mega Pixel camera. It has confirmed in an interview with Sony official in which he said that you can expect 8 megapixel camera in iPhone 5, but due to the Tsunami in Japan, Sony might get late in shipping the camera sensors to Apple.

Before the launch of iPhone 4G, there were rumors that Apple will provide 5 megapixel of camera in 4G but it has just used OmniVision sensor till now. iPhone is the best phone in the whole world. I am not just saying this from my own but different surveys have proved this. Samsung, HTC, Nokia are in the competition with Apple, so it really has to work hard for maintaining its standard. The collaboration of Sony and Apple in regard of camera will add a plus point to its sales.
In present time Sony’s 8 megapixel camera is installed in Sony Ericsson phone that is XPERIA. This camera sensor will benefit Apple users a lot and then they can take pictures even in low or dim light. It should also be noted that every product of Apple is having camera of OmniVision and if iPhone gets the 8-MegaPixel camera of Sony then more probably, iPad 3 will also come up with the Sony camera installed in it.

Expected Features of iPhone 5 Camera:

• It will be of 8-megapixel.
• It will be Able to take pictures in low light.
• The pictures will be High resolution.
• It contains better zooming options.
• The videos will be of high quality with better frame rate.

These all are the views about the Camera of iPhone 5, it is most expected feature but one cannot assure this, as it can be just a rumor. So everyone should have to wait for iPhone 5 release.

Top 10 Mobile Battery Saving Tips

If you're expecting a call and your battery icon starts blinking , the first thing you should do is find a charger. But if that's not an option, here are ten things you can do to hang on. We'll skip the usual tips about the 'memory effect' and which battery type is better  NiCd or Li-Ion  because you don't really have a choice in that.

Close Background Applications
If you're using a Smartphone, close applications that you don't need. Applications that stay active in the background use up a bit of CPU, which uses up battery. Make sure you 'exit' the applications from the menu, not by pressing the 'End' key, as that merely puts the application in the background. In Series 60 Smart phones (mostly Nokia , hold down the 'Menu' key to get a list of all applications running in the background to close them. In Windows Mobile 5 phones, open the 'Memory' application and check the 'Running programs' tab to close them.

Turn Down Screen Brightness
The screen is one of the most power-consuming parts of the mobile phone. The lower the brightness, the lesser power it needs. Keep it as low as you can, so long as you can still see it! Also, some phones like the E61 and the BlackBerry Pearl come with auto-adjust features that increase the brightness in brightly lit areas and dim it in low-light areas. If you're setting the brightness low, make sure that auto-adjust is turned off.

Don't Use Animated Wallpapers or Screensavers
The animations in wallpapers and screensavers can drain a bit of battery as they also consume a wee bit of CPU. Turn them off.

Turn Off Keypad Lights
If you've been using the phone for a while, you may be able to use the keys without seeing them. If this is the case, the keypad backlight can be turned off. However, not a lot of phones support this, but it's worth considering if your phone does.

Decrease Screen Standby Time Out
The time till your screen dims out and/or gets turned off is configurable in most phones. 10 seconds is good, 5 seconds is better. Set it as low as you can go without it becoming inconvenient.


Turn Off Vibration
Probably the second most power-consuming feature of any mobile phone is the built-in vibration alert. See if you can do without it.

Turn Down Ringer Volume, Keypad Tones and Speaker During Calls
If you're mostly indoors, like in the office or at home, a low ringer volume can go a bit towards saving your battery. Most phones also have DTMF-like keypad tones, which are not necessary if the keypad has decent tactile feedback. I keep them turned off most of the time — you can try it too. Volume of the earpiece when you're on a call can also be lowered, and that helps too.

Disable Voice Clarity / EFR / Voice Privacy
Almost all phones now do Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) for voice communication that consumes a little more power. In most cases, the enhanced quality of EFR doesn't make a difference thanks to the high noise levels in our city. Keep it off, you probably won't miss it. Some phones (mostly Samsungs) have a 'voice privacy' feature which can also be turned off to save battery.

Turn off 3G / GPRS / EDGE
Most 3G/UMTS/WCDMA phones keep searching for 3G coverage by default. In India , they'll keep searching till 2008, draining your battery, so go to the network selection screen and choose GSM-only. If your phone has a secondary camera near the screen, it's a 3G phone. Check your phone’s specs on the website if you aren't sure. Sometimes, even regular GPRS or EDGE connections stay active in the back, so make sure you specifically disconnect when you're done browsing the web.

N-Gage

The N93i is not an N-Gage 2.0 compatible device unlike other models such as the Nokia N81 and Nokia N95. The N-Gage Application was unreleased for the Nokia N93i. The N93i has a 3D graphics chip. Unlike other models, the N93 and N93i make use of all of the keys on the keypad due to their design, all keys can be used in both landscape and portrait mode, although being a little less accessible.
Due to its incompatibility with the N-Gage application, many of the phone hackers made a modified version of N-Gage which is compatible with Nokia N93i.
