HomTom S12 Specs and Price
HomtomS12

The Homtom S12 is a budget smartphone that has the trendy 18:9 aspect ratio as well as a nice crafty design. As far as design is concerned, there is a minimal compromise to cut price same for other smartphones in the category. The smartphone is a cheap one which is why the specs are very basic in the aspect of display, better, camera and the chipset inside. However, it does well when it comes to bezel reduction and looking a bit modernised.

Design and Display

For the sake of looking attractive without necessarily hiking the price, the Homtom S12 offers a plastic body with a minimal bezel especially at the side. You’ve got rounded edges, capacitive button, thick conventional bottom and top bezels. You’ve got a speaker at the bottom part of the rear cover as well as a camera placed centrally to the top. The smartphone is made of plastic which is available in blue, black and white finish.

The display is not much either just about 5.0-inch in size and a TFT panel for that matter which is not quite known for its good viewing angles. That said, the smartphone display also has a low resolution of 960 x 480 pixel. This is all justifiable considering the price you’re paying for the smartphone.

Battery and Camera

You don’t really have much of a battery capacity inside the phone which is the way most of these entry-level smartphones are. Same goes for the Homtom S12 which comes with a 2 750mAh battery built-in and a MicroUSB port for charging it. This would do well to go a day on a full charge only if usage is minimal though.

Speaking of photography on a smartphone, the Homtom S12 has a decent low budget one in place. There is the combination of an 8MP camera and another 2MP camera on the rear side with a flash just in-between. Selfies on the other end are being handled by a 5MP camera.

Hardware and Software

Powering up the features on the smartphone is a more or less typical processor of cheap smartphones like this one. Having four cores, you’ve got the MediaTek MT6580A in charge taking care of things and a 1GB RAM. Regarding graphics, you have a Mali-400 MP2 GPU assigned to do the job. You also have an 8GB internal storage which can be extended to 32GB with an SDcard. Also, there is Android 8.1 Oreo booting up with the smartphone from the scratch.

Red Hydrogen One Specs and Price
Red Hydrogen One

Red is a high-end cinema camera maker which is used in some of Netflix blockbusters and movies like ‘Straight Outta Compton’. The company formerly scheduled the smartphone with 3D display to be released earlier this year. However, the smartphone wasn’t released due to some issues that needed to be perfected. Nonetheless, the smartphone is more likely to be released soon and it has some great features on board. This smartphone is not available as it does have an expensive price tag with a version even more expensive more than the iPhone XS Max.

Red Hydrogen One Key Specs and Features 5.7-inch, 3D LTPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 1440 x 2560 (515 ppi) Android 8.1 Oreo Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 CPU with 6GB RAM 128GB/256GB built-in storage space, up to 512GB with a memory card Dual 12.3MP + 12.3MP rear camera and a dual 8.3MP + 8.3MP front camera 4G LTE Fingerprint scammer (right-side) Modular compatibility 4, 500mAh none removable Li-Po battery

Design and Display

The RED Hydrogen is unlike any other smartphone out there with its own unique look and that includes some unconventional additions. Being a premium smartphone itself, it doesn’t quite have the reduced bezel and glass build charade. Instead what you have is heavy bezels bearing sensors with ridged blunt serrated edges at the sides. At the side is the fingerprint scanner which is also the power button. The back has a patterned striated design and a circular camera module with a pin for the camera module and another at the bottom for additional modules.

One of the highlights of the smartphone is the 3D display, the first time you have that on a smartphone. The 4 view display as it is referred to by Red has the ability to show the 3D holographic images or videos. This means you can play HD 3D contents without the need for a VR headset. Also, it can be used as a monitor to view 3D contents being recorded by a Red camera. The 5.7-inch screen comes with a 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution and it helps bring the 3D display to life.

Battery and Camera

The smartphone sports a  4, 500mAh battery which is a quite generous deal with sufficient power for the day. You’ve got a USB Type-C at the bottom of the bunch and a likely fast charge feature.

Red is a big player in the camera scene which is why there is a lot of expectation about optic capability of the Red Hydrogen One. Frankly, the smartphone is poised to do very well in this area and is even likely to go to the top of the camera pyramid. There is a dual setup on both axis which includes a pair of 12.3MP rear cameras and a duo of 8.3MP cameras at the front. Both front and back camera can shoot in 4k resolution which is very impressive.

Hardware and Software

The smartphone has been in the works since the previous year which is why it has a predated chipset. Inside, you’ll find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor handling things and an Adreno 540 GPU in for graphics. There is a spacious 128GB or 256GB storage space in the smartphone and a possible 512GB added expansion support. However, there is plentiful storage space available up to 6GB RAM on board for easy navigation between apps. On the operating system.side of things, you’re getting the Android 8.1 Oreo from the pack with a likely Pie update later on.

Battery and Camera

This smartphone has the usual small battery power on these entry-level smartphones because of their inferior spec sheet.

From the looks of things, it is so obvious that the smartphone is an entry-level one with an outdated design. You have thick bottom bezel below the screen with capacitive touch buttons arranged on it. For a smartphone with a small screen, the smartphone doesn’t really have a small size.

Going back to the era of TFT screens, the smartphone sports a small sized display surrounded by heavy bezels and in the 16:9 aspect ratio from the days of yore. Sized at 4.0-inch, the smartphone has about the low resolution similar to others in its price bracket. Having a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels don’t quite expect stellar visual on the device but it does enough for day to day use.

Battery and Camera

Following the principle of law of demand and supply, the smartphone has a small battery capacity answering to the little specs on board. In that regard, the smartphone does feature a 1, 500mAh battery which will suffice for the 24-hour mandate for most users.

There is not much of a camera on the smartphone with the sensor present more of a courtesy than an actual snapping tool. The front has a mere 0.2MP camera and a 2MP primary camera at the back with LED flash in support.

Hardware and Software

The rest of the specs inside the phone includes a quad-core chipset, MediaTek MT6580 processor to be specific. This is accompanied by a 512MB RAM and Mali-400 MP2 GPU. What you have here are not sturdy performers but it does well for itself because of the optimised Go Edition of Android 8.1 Oreo pre-installed. Storage space inside is just about 8GB which is even low besides some are taken up by the OS and built-in softwares. You can actually add an extra 8GB using a memory card which has its own dedicated slot.

The Design of a Database Management System can simplify the Process of Data Recording
Database

The presence of a suitable database management system is essential for computer operating systems. The DBMS or database management systems are designed in such a way, so that independence of both logical as well as physical data is ensured.

This implies that DBMS provides protection to users and also applications. In this process, the users need not concern themselves about any physical changes which have been made to the storage or hardware system as the DBMS will work functionally even if changes occur.

The main important thing while using the DBMS software is the interface which is the API or application programming interface. If programs are opened by using the DBMS specific API, then modification of programs is not required when changes are made in the database system.

The representation of Data by a Database Management System

The DBMS can be considered as the most useful system which is responsible for creating and providing a centralized view of information. Multiple users can access this information or data, from several locations.

However, the access is always provided in a restricted manner to prevent illegal accesses. The presence of DBMS is also important in the situation where data that is to be viewed is to be displayed in a limited scope to end users.

In case of the single schema of the database there can be more than one representation, and in this way, the end user can also view the same data in different ways.

The DBMS provides the most suitable representation of data depending on the end user application. The DBMS handles requests regarding physical location of data and the kind of storage media needed for the data and hence software programs are free from handling those requests.

The method for Managing Data Processing

In the field of technology bulk data doesn’t only refer to a huge amount of generated information but also refers to different kinds of data that is generated across multiple fields like web servers, social media, emails, clickstream logs, etc.

All these fields generate structured, unstructured and also semi-structured data and analytic applications are important to process the bulk amount of varied information.

There are many ways in which data management is processed. Many processing frameworks utilize an open source method of distribution for managing information processing and data storage.

Bulk data running across multiple systems is also processedin a similar fashion. Hadoop is a well-known name in this regard. The tasks which are to be done by applications present for data processing include the following:

Supporting initiatives that are related to advanced types of analytics Applications for effective data mining Supporting analytic performances based on a predictive module Applications that involve automated learning Handling different forms of information that includes both structured as well as unstructured information Flexibility for users in order to collect, organize and analyze bulk The presence of Data Management Software Providers

As far as database management is concerned, there is a need for system software that will effectively prevent the system from losing data and at the same time will allow suitable access to the system through an interface that will enable modification.

At RemoteDBA.com, there are professionals who create robust databases that actively carry out the task of data recording and cataloging. The previous versions of the database that were dependent on CRM were not that reliable, but the licensed version was costly.

In the present generation, DBMS is drafted as per the need of a particular business organization by a service provider and the health of the system is also monitored by the service provider from time to time. The undeniable advantages that can be gained by hiring a service provider for drafting a suitabledatabase include the following:

The Database will be developed using the most suitable system that is needed for creating the DBMS for the Client:

There are many kinds of systems which are used for creating the system software of DBMS. Relational, NoSQL, Columnar, Cloud database are to name a few. All companies do not require a similar system and all systems do not work for a particular company.

Hence specificity is an important factor which is adequately addressed by a service provider. When a client contacts a service provider the expert personnel will observe the storage needs and data generation of the client’s company and then suggest a suitable database system that will be able to properly handle the task of streamlining data generated from different fields.

The installed Database Software will be under Constant Supervision:

The task of a service provider that deals with database management doesn’t end with the deployment of the software but continues for checking on the functional status of the installed software.

The software can suffer from slowdowns or crashes, and the task of a service provider is to either avert problems or to ensure that the whole system restarts as soon as possible because if the database software is rendered non-functional, then it will affect the whole business organization.

Storage of data in a safe manner:

Database service providers take the task of securing data very seriously. The database system is kept updated in such a way so that data loss can be prevented.

However, most service providers install cloud storage option, so that retrieval of data becomes easy and quick. Data is stored in such a manner so that the crash in a system won’t result in information loss as recovery options are kept in place.

Therefore, it can be understood that a database management system is indispensable for a company and it is suitable to choose a service provider for working out the best software design for creating the database as databases need to be tailored according to the data generation of a specific company or business organization.

Cast your mind back, if you’re old enough, to what people were saying about the internet and how it was Big Brother and the government trying to control and monitor everything we do, that it wouldn’t take off and the public would rebel… the rebellion didn’t necessarily take place, but who knows who’s watching…
