GST stands for GOODS AND SERVICES TAX. It is an indirect tax levied on goods and services. Under this scheme goods and services are taxed at following rates, 0%, 5%, 18%, 28%.  Before the implementation of GST  people were confused on how it is gonna impact their shopping bill. Now that it is in effect, let's see its impact on the gadgets and related services market. Earlier the tax rate on smartphones was nearly 13.5% but after GST it's 12%. All parts and components of the smartphone come under this category. There is no remarkable change in the wireless services like transmission and reception of voice and communication, landline telephone sets and wired connection due to GST. If we talk about smartphones that are imported, they are gonna get costlier as the government is gonna impose a 10% customs duty on and indirectly it is gonna benefit India as manufacturers will then consider establishing their manufacturing units in India that will create...

It's been a long time since I posted something on my blog. But from now on I'll be posting stuff regularly on this blog.   So what is Dolby Digital ? >  Formerly known as AC-3 is a digital audio coding technique that reduces the amount of data               needed to produce high quality sound. It has five full bandwidth channels i.e. front left , front right , center , surround left and surround right, due to which it creates full surround sound experience for the listener. This multichannel system is referred as 5.1 channel. Because everyone doesn't have the proper equipment to utilize the 5.1 channel sound, it's developer included a downmixing feature that ensure that it is compatible with any sound device. Now a days we can find various gadgets with dolby digital(or Atmos) feature like laptops and smartphones. Another variant : There is another variant of Dolby audio i.e. Dolby TrueHD . TrueHD,  while still using...

Smartphones have been evolving so fast that now we don't even think about using computer at first for many tasks. Let's get one thing straight, Mhz/Ghz and no. of cores do not indicate the relative performance of two arbitrary processors. Earlier they used to be the indicators for the performance but now when we have mobile devices showing similar nos. sometimes higher, it has become really confusing. I am going to talk about all this ahead in this article. Basically: as the Thermal Design Power increases, the "scale" of the CPU increases. Think of the "scale" between a bicycle, a car, a truck, a train, and a C-17 cargo airplane. Higher TDP means larger scale. The MHz  may or may not  be higher, but other factors like the complexity of the microarchitecture, the number of cores, the branch predictor's performance, the amount of cache, the number of execution pipelines, etc. all tend to be higher on larger-scale processors. Now as fabrication size ...

Hey guys!! I am again active to acquaint you all about the latest fabulous discovery in the internet world....... We all aspire to get high speed connectivity !! So now a days, Wi-fi is popularly used to get the high speed connectivity. Another such technology called Li-fi is discovered to provide high speed connectivity to the users. WHAT IS Li-Fi?? Li-Fi stands for LIGHT FIDELITY that uses electromagnet visible rays to transfer data. It is a Visible Light Communication system running wireless communications travelling at very high speeds. It uses common LED (Light Emitting Diodes) bulbs to enable data transfer and increasing the speed up to 224 gigabits per second. These light bulbs are acting as wireless routers. HOW Li-Fi WORKS?? It transmits data electromagnetically but using visible rays (Wi-Fi uses radio ways). It is created by fitting two devices :- a photo-detector called photo-diodes to receive signals, and a signal processing elem...

Hey guys!!! Here i am up with another interesting gadget which is really stunning!!! Sony has recently launched a camera  A68 A-MOUNT CAMERA WITH 4D FOCUS Its a magnetic launch in camera world!!!! Its a bold 24 MP camera which delivers unmatched auto-focus to the photographers to get detailed and crisp footage. Now you all must think what is the use of 4D focus!!!
