Panasonic Eluga I7 Specs and Price

Panasonic is not new in the tech world so you most likely know about the Japanese OEM. Their newly introduced budget smartphone was released in India which is one of the biggest smartphone market by the way. Like other budget smartphones, the Panasonic Eluga I7 only offers a handful of features with nothing premium in view. Suitable for buyers who are not willing to spend much and still be able to get a functional and good enough features from the smartphone.

Panasonic Eluga I7 Key Specs and Features 5.44-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 1440 X 720 pixels (295 ppi) Quad-core MediaTek MT6737H CPU with 2GB RAM 16GB built-in storage, up to 64GB with a memory card 8MP rear camera and an 8MP from camera 4G LTE Fingerprint sensor (rear) 4, 000mAh non removable Li-ion battery

Panasonic Eluga I7

Design and Display

As regards design, you would have to cut the Panasonic Eluga I7 some slack as it has nice aesthetics seen in its 18:9 aspect ratio and slim bezels even if it is only wrapped in plastic. Up front you see Lenovo branded on the bottom bezel with sensor, camera and flash arranged at the top of the screen. Navigation buttons are on screen and the fingerprint is placed at the back.. To wrap things up, the smartohone has a nice polished finish and the plastic it is made of.is quite durable.

Visuals is portrayed by a fairly decent HD+ screen  which is not much but better than what some of its contemporaries come with. Reaching up to 5.45-inch in size with little bezels in the way which makes it altogether appealling. However, colour reproduction might not be to epic but it much gets the work done. There’s a pixel density of 295 ppi and also brightens up enough to be seen in daylight although not in direct sunlight.

Battery and Camera

This is by far one of the highlights of the Panasonic Eluga I7 as it comes prepared to carry you for up to two days on minimal usage. Powered by a 4, 000mAh battery and with the low specs especially the low resolution display. The smartohone should be able to offer a considerable longer usage time compared to some of its pairs.

In charge of taking pictures on the smartohone is a same pixel camera on both side. What that means is, the rear panel has an 8MP camera with LED flash and at the front you also have an 8MP camera also accompanied by a soft selfie flash. This an inexcusable low budget camera arrangement you have here, however, you could still take some nice pictures with it in full light.

Hardware and Software

Backed up by a low tier MediaTek SoC, you should not expect a stellar performance or high-speed touch and go response as you have in premium smartphones. However, it does well with a Quad-core MediaTek MT6737H processor, which handles basic tasks quite well. Also, the smartohone has a Mali-T720 GPU for sorting out graphics.

Still on hardware, the Panasonic Eluga I7 comes with 2GB of internal memory combined with 16GB internal storage space. This is a bit small which is why you have a chance to expand the storage up to 64GB with a memory card. Unfortunately, this smartphone runs Android 7.0 Nougat an there’s no word on an update yet.

Pricing and Availability

The Panasonic Eluga I7 is available for sale on different online shopping platforms for around 35, 000 naira depending on the deal and your location.

Panasonic Eluga I7 Specs

Here are a few specs of the Panasonic Eluga I7:

General Features Platform: Android 7.1 Nougat Processor: Quad-core Mediatek MT6737H GPU: Mali-T720 MP2 Memory: 2GB Colours: Black, Gold, Blue Dimension: 148.8 x 70.9 x 9.3 mm Weight: 168g SIM Type: Nano sim SIM Count: Dual sim Display Display: 5.45-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 1440 X 720 pixels (295 ppi) Screen Protection: – Camera Rear Camera: 8MP camera, 1080p Video@30fps Rear Camera Features: Phase detection autofocus, LED flash, Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, HDR, panorama Front Camera: 8MP camera, 720p Video@30fps Storage Built-in Storage: 16GB Memory Card Support: Yes, up to 64GB Bundled Cloud Storage: – Network Support 2G GSM: Yes 2G CDMA 1X:3G WCDMA: Yes 3G CDMA EVDO:4G LTE: LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 8(900), 40(2300), 41(2500) Internet & Connectivity GPRS: Yes EDGE: Yes 3G/WCDMA/HSPA: Yes HSPA+: Yes, 42.2/5.76Mbps, CDMA EVDO:4G LTE: Yes, LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 8(900), 40(2300), 41(2500) WLAN: Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct Wi-Fi Hotspot: Yes Bluetooth: Yew, v4.2 with A2DP, LE NFC:Infrared Blaster:USB Port: MicroUSB 2.0 Messaging SMS/MMS: Yes Instant Messaging: Yes Push Emails: Yes Email Protocol: – Entertainment Music Player: MP3/WAV/FLAC/eAAC+ player Video Player: MP4/H.264 player FM Radio: Yes Loudspeaker: Yes 3.5mm Jack: Yes Navigation Navigation: Yes with A-GPS, GLONASS Maps: Yes Sensors & Control Digital Compass: Yes Accelerometer: Yes Proximity Sensor: Yes Light Sensor: Yes Barometer:SpO2:Pedometer:Heart Rate Monitor:Gyroscope:Fingerprint Scanner: Yes, (rear) Iris Scanner:Face Unlock:Intelligent Digital Assistant:Motion Sensing / Gesture Control:Voice Control: – Other Features Video Streaming: Yes Active Noise Cancellation: Yee Wireless Charging:Built-in Mobile Payment:Water Resistant:Dust Resistant:Image Editor: Yes Video Editor: Yes Document Viewer: Yes Document Editor: Yes Battery Battery: 4, 000mAh non removable Li-ion battery Talktime:Standby Time:Fast Charging:

How to Charge Electric Scooter Without Charger

Electric scooters are great possessions, not until your charge runs out in a remote location. That is when you will wish you knew better and opted for a diesel-powered one. However, this ought not to be so much of an issue. It is indeed possible to utilize an electric scooter in a distant location without worrying about what to do when the charge depletes.

This is because it is indeed possible to charge the vehicle without using the ordinary power outlets. In our discussions below, we are going to look into the two main options that may help you out.

In Case you do not buy an electric scooter yet, visit joinfuse.com for some great reviews.

Option #1: Using a portable car jumper.

This is basically a portable battery which holds higher voltage than the normal batteries. To charge your electric scooter using this technique, follow the procedures below:

Step I: Attach the Jumper to your Scooter’s Battery

Start by attaching the jumper to the battery of your scooter. Connect the red wire to the positive terminal and the black wire to the negative terminal. Be sure that there are no leaks or breaks in the connections as these may to you to danger. Resist the temptation of attaching other devices onto the jumper as this may drain the current and render your charge of no effect.

Step II: Turn the Jumper On

Switch the jumper on. This is to trigger the flow of current from the jumper to the battery. It is this flow of current that will eventually charge your scooter’s battery.

Step III: Leave to Charge

Leave the connection for around 20 minutes for the battery to fully charge. Do not disconnect the jumper from the battery before the 20-minute duration is complete. Such a disruption may damage your battery. It may also subject you to the risks of electrocution or even electrical fires.

Step IV: Check the Battery Levels

After the 20 minutes have elapsed, check the level of your scooter’s battery. In case it is not fully charged, you may wish to leave the connection intact for quite some time.

Step V: Disconnect the Jumper

Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect it from the jumper. Do so by unplugging the negative terminal of the jumper from the battery. Proceed thereafter to unplug the positive terminal. You are now free to test the ride and go!

Option #2: Utilizing a Universal Power Adapter

The universal power adapter is an electronic device that has the ability to store up electrical charge for some time. It is also superior to most other electronics of its kind in that it is compatible with as many devices as possible. You will, therefore, most likely find it suited to your unique situation. To charge the battery of your scooter, follow the procedures below:

Step I: Plug your Power Cable to Adapter

The adapter as stated can accommodate different kinds of devices. You will thus be certain that at least one of the connecting wires can fit your port. Find this specific one and connect it to the port of your batter. Plug it in tightly to avoid any leakages that may render some loss of power.

Step II: Switch off your Scooter’s Power

Now proceed to switch off your scooter’s power outlets. Switch off the radio, lights, and any other component of the scooter that may be drawing power. This is to expedite the process of charging and reduce the wastage of energy.

Step III: Leave to Charge

Leave the battery to charge for some time. The universal adapter stores up less voltage than its car jumper counterpart. For this reason, you will not have to wait for too long as is the case with the car jumper above. Do not, therefore, wait for the battery to fully charge before disconnecting.

Step IV: Disconnect when Done

As soon as the charge is depleted, unplug the power cable and start the scooter.

PS: This second option is a stop-gap measure in the sense that it only helps you to navigate a difficult situation. It does not at all provide a permanent or long-lasting solution to your power problem.

CLOSING REMARKS

As you may see, this feat can be accomplished. The various options are however not so reliable, especially in the long run. You still have to find a permanent solution to the issue to avoid encountering unnecessary inconveniences.

VPS Hosting and the Best VPS Hosting Websites in 2018
Best VPS Hosting

Let’s say all is set for your business to go online, but one thing key element is missing — hosting. But that seems to be no problem. There’s Google, right? You go in search of the best web hosting websites and services out there. Then the reality hits you and confusion sets in – particularly if you are a noob in the hosting world.

However, depending on the aim of your business, application or website, there many common types of hosting to choose from. There are some you would come across a lot: web hosting, cloud hosting, and WordPress hosting. VPS Hosting is another (that seems to get people confused).

Best VPS Hosting

First, VPS is an acronym for Virtual Private Server and going by Webshostingsecretsrevealed‘s apt and summarized definition, “VPS hosting = Shared Hosting + Server Root Access + Dedicated Resources + Isolated Environment. What this means is that VPS sits in between Shared and Dedicated Hosting.”

The above is a geekier and technical explanation. Now let me break it down (by taking you back to the basics) — for beginner’s sake.

In Shared Hosting, multiple websites are under a single umbrella (read: server) and share the same resources like CPU, RAM, hard drive space, and bandwidth. In Dedicated Hosting, a website has its own unique umbrella (again: server) likewise, its unique RAM, CPU, OS, bandwidth and hard drive space.

You following? Good.

Now, VPS Hosting has a stand-point is between Shared and Dedicated Hosting. This simply means VPS Hosting shares some characteristics with Shared and Dedicated Hosting. Here’s how: Like Shared Hosting, VPS Hosting places your website on a giant unit of server shared by other websites with each websites having their individual RAM, CPU, bandwidth, h, and OS (as in Dedicated Hosting).

And why should you care about VPS hosting? Or is there any reason why you should consider VPS hosting for your website? Well…yes, there actually is. VPS Hosting has reliability and control advantage over shared hosting & and less expensive than dedicated hosting.

So if you do not want the activity of other websites to affect yours (as in Shared Hosting) or you do not have enough dough to opt for Dedicated Hosting, VPS Hosting is the perfect option for your website/business. VPS Hosting is more of an affordable version of dedicated hosting, so to speak.

Listed below are some of the best VPS Hosting websites to subscribe to in 2018, as well as their plans and pricing.

InMotion VPS Hosting

InMotion offers a wide range of VPS hosting plans. Their plans are affordable and reasonable. InMotion’s least VPS hosting plan goes for $27.99 per month (on a 2-year contract) or $29.99 per month (on a 1-year contract) and comes with 4GB of RAM, 75GB hard disk space, and 1TB of bandwidth. See more plans in the image or on the official InMotion VPS Hosting website.

Best VPS Hosting

Liquid Web VPS Hosting

Liquid Web is another reliable website that provides VPS Hosting. Liquid Web’s VPS plans are just as reliable as InMotion’s, but a bit on the high side price-wise.

Best VPS Hosting

HostWinds VPS Hosting

Talk about best VPS hosting companies, you’ve got to mention HostWinds. The website boast of state-of-the-art hardware and flexible plans that won’t have you breaking your piggy banks (or the real bank). For as low as $7.99 every month, you can get your website on HostWind’s Virtual Private servers.

HostGator VPS Hosting

HostGator is another platform for VPS Hosting. Renowned for its affordable plans, colossal disk space and bandwidth size, HostGator wouldn’t be a bad choice if you are looking to move your website hosting over to VPS, HostGator would serve you good.

Best VPS Hosting

BlueHost VPS Hosting

For as low as $19.99, you can get your website on BlueHost’s virtual private servers. And this is good for small businesses looking to improve site power, flexibility, and have a bit more control over their websites.

DreamHost VPS Hosting

Be it for your application or we site, hosting on DreamHost VPS guarantees unhindered performance, unlimited bandwidth, as well as simplistic control panel. Prices are also appealing – starts from $13.75 and varies upwards depending on the storage property of the plan you opt for.

GoDaddy VPS Hosting

GoDaddy is another hosting company that offers VPS hosting services. And like DreamHost, it also offers unmetered bandwidth and expandable storage. In addition, GoDaddy’s VPS are quite affordable and budget-friendly.

The VPS Hosting provider you choose to go for entirely depends on what you need for your business and your purchasing power. But listed above are presently some of the best VPS Hosting to use as a guide when VPS-shopping for your application, businesses and website.
