The cylindrically shaped webcam is equipped with a 4K Sony sensor, which is said to provide improved video communication even in low light. Dell has also preloaded an Auto-Framing feature, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to keep users focused even if they move slightly. The webcam also has a noise reduction feature that is powered by software. The Dell UltraSharp Webcam is being released at a time when video conferencing is becoming more popular as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Specifications for the Dell UltraSharp Webcam

The Dell UltraSharp Webcam has an 8.3-megapixel Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor with up to 4K UHD resolution and a frame rate of 24fps/ 30fps.

The webcam has a Digital Overlap HDR capability for capturing vibrant colors. There is also a 3D/ 2D video noise reduction feature that eliminates grainy images using software algorithms.

Unlike traditional webcams, the Dell UltraSharp Webcam has a customizable field of view that can be set to 65, 78, or 90 degrees, as well as 5x digital zoom. The webcam also has a Dell Express Sign-In feature, which detects your presence using the built-in proximity sensor and automatically logs you out when you walk away.

The Dell UltraSharp Webcam is constructed of an all-aluminum cylindrical body with a smooth textured metallic finish on top. For easy clipping, the webcam also comes with a magnetic mount and a tripod adapter. The magnetic mount, which has a cable management slot, can also be used on a thin-bezel monitor.

In terms of connectivity, the Dell UltraSharp Webcam has a USB Type-C port that can be used to connect with a PC via the bundled USB-A-to-USB-Type C cable (two meters in length). When not in use, there is also a magnetic snap-on cover that can be placed on the front to protect your stay. When the webcam is in use, you can also snap the cover to the back.

In addition, the Dell webcam has a white LED light indicator to let users know when it is in use. This is similar to how on Apple MacBooks, a green indicator appears next to the webcam. For improved focusing, the webcam employs the AI-powered Auto-Framing feature, which keeps you in focus and in the center of the frame.

The Dell UltraSharp Webcam costs Rs. 18,999 ($199.99 in the US) in India. Starting today, the webcam will be available for purchase worldwide through Dell’s enterprise channels (Tuesday, June 29).

Realme C11

Realme C11 (2021) launched in India with a 5000mAh battery and 6.5-inch HD+ Display.

Leave a Comment / News, Product, Tech News / By

The Realme C11 (2021) has been quietly launched in India in a subtle way. The new Realme phone is an improved version of last year’s Realme C11. It mostly has lower specifications than the previous year’s model but particularly has the same design. The Realme C11 (2021) has one rear camera, a 20:9 display, and a 5,000mAh battery. It also has an octa-core processor and 2GB RAM. Furthermore, the Realme C11 (2021) has expandable storage of up to 256GB.

Sky Li officially launched Realme, a technology brand, on May 4, 2018. Realme’s ambition is to provide products that provide a comprehensive superior experience for the young, and Realme is committed to being a trendsetting technology brand. Due to its capabilities in cutting-edge smartphone and IoT technologies, Realme brings consumers products with trendsetting technologies, features, and experiences that are first applied in the price segment. Realme announced its dual-driven strategy of “Smartphone + AIoT” at the start of 2020. In June 2020, Realme’s global smartphone user base reached 35 million, and its sales volume of AIoT audio products surpassed the one million mark.

Realme had a flurry of launches last year, leaving no time to catch a breath. It is clear that there will be several launches this year as well, but the game plan has clearly changed. Realme has progressed from the low-cost segment to the premium segment and now into the IoT space. And all of this has occurred in less than two years, which is commendable. Given the path Realme is currently on, it is clear that the company’s goal for this year is to be everywhere, including the budget and premium phone segments, smart TV, audio, smartwatch, and many more.

Realme C11 (2021): Price and Availability in India

The Realme C11 (2021) is priced at Rs. 6,999 in India for the 2GB RAM + 32GB storage variant. The phone is available for purchase on the Realme.com website in the colors Cool Blue and Cool Grey. The Realme C11 (2021) was first seen on the market in Russia and the Philippines. It debuted in the Philippines at PHP 4,990. (roughly Rs. 7,600).

To put this in context, the original Realme C11 was priced at Rs. 7,499 in India last year for the same 2GB RAM + 32GB storage configuration. However, that model is no longer available on the Realme.com website. At the time of writing, it was still available on Flipkart.

Realme C11 (2021): Specifications

The dual-SIM (Nano) Realme C11 (2021) runs Android 11 with Realme UI 2.0 on the very top and specifically has a 6.5-inch HD+ (720×1,600 pixels) display with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a screen-to-body ratio of 89.5 percent which contributes to the phone’s hype in a big way. The phone is powered by an octa-core SoC and 2GB of RAM. The Realme C11 (2021) has a fairly single 8-megapixel primary rear camera sensor with an LED flash for photos and videos. This mostly is, in contrast, to last year’s Realme C11, which featured dual rear cameras, which is quite significant. In the front, there is a 5-megapixel selfie camera sensor.

The Realme C11 (2021) for all intents and purposes has 32GB of onboard storage that can be expanded via a microSD card (up to 256GB) that fits into a dedicated slot. 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS/ A-GPS, Micro-USB, and a 3.5mm headphone jack are among the connectivity options, which generally are fairly significant. The phone for the most part has a 5,000mAh battery and mostly supports wired particularly reverse charging, allowing users to charge definitely other phones using an OTG cable.

Google

Security Changes in Google will Disrupt Old Links of Drive and YouTube.

Leave a Comment / Google, News, Tech News / By

Public links to an untold number of Google Drive items will soon cease to work. Google is changing the ways in which link sharing is handled on both services in the name of increased security, and even if active users are allowed to choose from the switch, abandoned files and videos on unused or inactive accounts can simply go unnoticed.

Security Changes in YouTube Links

Because shared links are now part of a newer system, Google says security is increased. The newer links on YouTube would appear to be harder to guess or access for anyone without explicit access. The newer links also have the effect of connecting more activity to specific accounts and requiring viewers to connect to a user profile that allows access to be tracked and included.

On YouTube, any publicly available videos, but labeled “Unlisted,” will have an effect. As described in a 5-minute video and blog post by YouTube, any unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 will be changed to a private one on July 23, 2017. The way private video works now, killing any old links or embedding, as well as limiting sharing to up to 50 people — all of whom require a Google account to view it. As a reminder, you and the people you choose can only view private videos. Once these videos are made privately on July 23rd, any previously used link will no longer function as Unlisted.

Google

To retain your unlisted videos in their unlisted state, you should fill out this form by 23 July 2021 before 2017. YouTube recommends that you choose to avoid this amendment when you treat your unlisted videos such as public videos (for example, they are embedded or shared on third-party websites). If you opt-out, your current connections will continue to work as they currently do, but they will not benefit from the security update.

Using YouTube, you can make your Unlisted video uploaded before 2017 as “Public.” The older videos can be re-uploaded under the new system to take advantage of the security update. Data, like views or comments, related to the original upload, will not be transmitted. Each video that is embedded using the old link must also be updated to the new video URL.

As a reminder, the Unlisted feature will not be removed. It is still possible to upload new videos as Unlisted. Only videos uploaded prior to January 1, 2017, will be affected by this update. YouTube creators can go back through their older Unlisted videos and select the privacy setting that is best for them.

Security Changes in Google Drive Links

The same change is happening for Google Drive, as announced on the Workspace Updates blog earlier today. Now a link will contain a resource key that determines who accesses or does not receive access to cloud-stored files. You’ll continue to have access to the file if you’ve already accessed it (presumably when you log into your Google account) and have “direct access.”

It is a little more complicated if you use a workspace Google account managed by your employer, school, or other company. The IT/administrator department can decide either to opt-out completely, to update anyone without an opt-out, or to upgrade and enable individual users to remove the update.

Administrators can use the Alert Center to see how much your organization affects users, folders, shared drives, and files. Search a warning with the topic “Drive security update.” Admins should decide how their organization will be asked to update their security before 23 July 2021. Admins can choose how their organization uses the security update at Admin Console Apps > Google Workspace > Drive and Docs > Sharing settings > Security update for links.

If the administrator does not choose to update the security, end-users with impacted files, starting July 26, 2021, with their impacted files, will receive an e-mail notification. End-users have to decide how to update their files by September 13, if their administration permits it.

Users not included in Google Workspace receive a notification on their affected files from Google Drive from July 26, 2021, and are able to remove the security update. The new files are subject to the above-mentioned conditions. These users are expected to decide how to apply the update to their files until September 13, 2021.

Issues with type=domain or type=anyone Drive API permission that are affected by Link=true(v2) or allowFileDiscovery = false(v3) In addition to the item ID, a resource key for accessing these items is now required.

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Fold

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Fold With Folding 2k Display Now Available In India.

Leave a Comment / News, Product, Tech News / By

On Tuesday, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold, the company’s first flagship laptop with a folding display, was released in India. The folding design of the ThinkPad X1 Fold is enabled by a multilink torque hinge. Lenovo has also included a Bluetooth Mini Fold Keyboard, which nestles inside the fold and wireless charges when placed on top of the screen. When opened, the ThinkPad X1 Fold also functions as a tablet. When you want to browse the web, watch a video, or listen to a presentation, you can use it as a tablet by using the built-in kickstand or the optional easel to prop it up.

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Fold Specifications

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold laptop has a 13.3-inch 2K (2,048×1,536 pixel) pOLED display from LG Display that can be folded to allow for a variety of use cases. The ThinkPad X1 Fold looks more like a sketchbook than a laptop thanks to its attractive leather folio. It is not only compact and stylish, but it is also functional. With a weight of only 2.2 pounds, it is small enough to fit into a jacket pocket or even a small handbag.

To enable the folding form factor, there is a mechanical hinge between the display. Users can use the ThinkPad X1 Fold as a regular laptop in landscape mode or as a notebook in portrait mode, taking notes or drawing sketches with Lenovo’s Active Pen. Lenovo has also included its Easel Stand, which allows for easy portrait or landscape placement on a desk, as well as the Bluetooth Mini Fold Keyboard, which allows the ThinkPad X1 Fold to function as a traditional laptop.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold runs Windows 10 Pro and comes preloaded with the Lenovo Mode Switcher app, which allows the machine to change orientation as needed. It quickly and easily splits the screen into two halves or uses full width for one large display. The ThinkPad X1 Fold, as the name implies, offers a split-screen experience. Fold it like a book for two side-by-side displays—ideal for comparing things, taking notes, reading, or simply multitasking. Turn it so that the split-screen appears from top to bottom, and you can sketch, jot notes, or type using the on-screen keyboard.

Unlike folding phones, which are fragile and easily damaged, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold is marketed as a rugged and tough device. MIL-STD 810H certification is claimed to have been obtained. Furthermore, Lenovo claims that the ThinkPad X1 Fold underwent additional testing to ensure that the screen could withstand the stresses of being opened and closed thousands of times. The ThinkPad X1 Fold encrypts data with a discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM), making it more difficult to hack and keeping your critical data more secure.

The ThinkPad X1 Fold is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, Intel UHD graphics, 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and up to 1TB of PCIe-NVMe M.2 2242 SSD. Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.1, and two USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports are among the connectivity options (one of which can be used as a DisplayPort). Optional 5G/ 4G LTE support is also available. For a better multimedia experience, Lenovo has included four microphones and a Dolby Atmos speaker system. The ThinkPad X1 Fold also has a Hybrid infrared (IR) and an HD webcam for Windows Hello facial recognition and video chat.

On a single charge, the ThinkPad X1 Fold can provide up to 10.4 hours of video playback. In addition, there is 50W Rapid Charge fast charging technology.

Price And Availability

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold is priced at Rs. 3,29,000. The laptop is currently available for purchase through the Lenovo India website for a starting price of Rs. 2,48,508. Gadgets 360 contacted the company and was told that the difference between the listed and official prices is due to limited-time offers that will end at the end of this month. Customers can also choose a no-cost EMI option that lasts up to six months. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold was released in the United States in January of last year for $2,499 USD (roughly Rs. 1,85,700).
