Leveraging data gathered from an event with the use of modern technology is one way to increase return-on-investment (ROI) in the event industry in Nigeria and to improve event marketing methods to yield higher results. Event marketing is a promotional strategy that involves face-to-face contact between companies and their customers at special events like concerts, fairs, and sporting events.

As an event organizer in Nigeria, you will like to ensure that your partners and sponsors are able to maximize your event to get a reasonable return-on-investment (ROI). Technology, in recent times, has proven to be the best go-to for effective, efficient and manageable data gathering for driving a desired event marketing goals. One of such technologies that event organizers in Nigeria can use is the AllEvents Selfie Mirror Photo Booth, a multipurpose user-friendly technology for events, first of its kind in Nigeria which can be creatively used to gather data during an event.

What then is the effect of such data gathering technology on both pre-event marketing and post-event marketing?

• Encouraging online registration prior to the event helps event organizers have a better understanding of the event attendees they are expecting at the event. With online event registration, you are able to verify that everything you have planned, as regards ensuring that event attendees have the most memorable event experience, is in line with their expectations for that event. You can itemize the different segment of the event in the registration form and ask that the registrants select the ones they are interested in. You can also have accurate demographics to work with during and after the event.
• You can use data gathered to communicate with event attendees in real time. You can send in notifications through email or SMS about the event. This helps event attendees keep track of everything that is going on at the event so that they won’t miss anything depending on how large the event is.
• You can connect with event attendees on social media as well, with event gadget tools like the AllEvents Selfie Mirror Photo Booth, people can connect with your brand right there at the event and share their experiences live. This increases your brand awareness online which would also create a positive effect on the brand.
• Whatever event data gathering technology that you decide to use before, during or after the event should help you get accurate demographics about people attending your event. This is a goldmine for those that understand the power of the database. Big companies like Facebook understand that and the company rakes in millions every time anyone put up an advert on their social platform for a specific market target. So, if you have to invest in getting an effective data gathering technology for an event in Nigeria, we recommend you use Allevents Selfie Mirror Photo Booth. You can segment the data after use, pull it to CRM software like Zoho CRM, Salesforce or anyone available to you and use it to conduct a survey, send mail, send specific adverts or as leverage to bring in bigger sponsors-partners for your event.

Microsoft knows that we all love to play Minecraft in HD or 4K to enjoy the real farming, that’s why last year they announced the 4K Super Duper graphics pack. This is the set of the graphic which will bring a lot of new visuals, graphics, art, styles, and colors.

According to Microsoft the new Minecraft 4K Super Duper Graphics Pack will have new shaders, lighting effects, and even the new textures etc. So, as a Minecraft player, you must be excited about the launch date of Minecraft 4K Super Duper graphics pack, its features and would want to know whether its free or not.

To help you with all of your questions related to Minecraft 4K Super Duper graphics packs, I bring a detailed post about it. This will surely answer all your questions.

The release date of Minecraft Super Duper 4K Graphics Pack:

The pack was supposed to release in 2017 but unfortunately, it was delayed. The pack has been made for the Bedrock version of Minecraft which was specially supported by Xbox One X and Windows 10 PC but unfortunately, there was a delay in the launch of the Minecraft Super Duper graphics pack.

According to the developer of Minecraft, they are still working on this pack to make it more supportive so that it can work beyond Windows 10 and Xbox X.

The Developer also claims the Minecraft Super Duper pack will also work on Nintendo Switch, VR, mobile devices, etc.

The Microsoft has not officially announced any release date for this graphics pack, but it is expected that the Super Duper graphics pack will be released at the end of 2018 or in the start of 2019. We will update the date as soon as we get any confirmation from Minecraft and Microsoft.

Features of Minecraft Super Duper 4K Graphics Pack:

Expect the new iconic look of Minecraft on the launch of 4K graphics pack. This pack is awaited due to the features which have been promised by Microsoft which goes equally well on all devices where one can play Minecraft including PC with Windows 10.

Here are some of the features of the Minecraft Super Duper 4K graphics pack that we know so far:

• Better water textures which come up with reflective surfaces
• Volumetric lighting to give dramatic look to the whole game
• Objective edge highlighting with dynamic shadows
• Objects with 3D models to replace the flat textures
• Reflective textures for blocks to add highlights to diamond blocks etc.

Don’t these features make you excited?

Although all these features are being produced by Minecraft developers themselves. There is an alternative that adds graphic enhancements to Minecraft, and unlike SDGP it is totally free.

Optifine HD is the name of this tool, it allows you to load Shader Packs in Minecraft. Some shader packs have incredible graphics, very similar to SDGP. If you are very anxious it is a great alternative.

Price of Minecraft Super Duper 4K Graphics Pack:

I won’t say much about price. Walmart had earlier labeled $10 for this graphics pack before pulling down the listing from their online store. So expect the same price of this pack in future after the release of 4K Super Duper graphics pack.

Somehow this will be available to download and install free in the future like we have seen how graphics packs become available for free after some time.

Normally ,the word Note in the recent smartphone world means a large screen which doesn’t necessarily have a certain size bracket. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is not the only new Note snartphone around, Huawei is out with the Huawei Honor Note 10 smartphone. The smartphone comes with an even bigger screen running 6.95-inch display which is amazing. It also features a decent hardware that has top notch performance level. So if you’re a big screen fan why don’t you get into the remainder of the features of the smartohsma we are about to examine.

Design and Display

It is nice that the smartphone does have not dubbed the style of trending phone but rather maintains a conventional honor style. There is an aluminium frame sandwiched in between the glass on both sides. It has a nice reflective rear that also borders on being shiny with an upper quadrant circular depression that serves as the fingerprint scanner. Still on the back, you’ll find two round cameras lined one on top the other and a flash below it along which you have inscriptions from Huawei going all the way down.

In recent times, we’ve had an uprising of increasing display size on smartphones going alongside the bezel reduction. This has led to smartphones that have large displays and still manages to look sleek in part due to the switch to 18:9 and 19:9 aspect ratios. The Huawei Honor Note 10 takes this to another level going on to sport a 6.95-inch screen with a fair enough 2160 X 1080 pixels. This is still a nice arrangement considering it is an AMOLED display being offered.

Battery and Camera

It is only normal for a smartphone of this size which borders on being a tablet rather than a smartphone to have a sizeable battery. As promised it has a nice 5, 000mAh battery which is quite needed to enjoy the large display. Even so ,it has a large battery and you would sure get over a day of use on this one. There is fast charge through the USB Type-C port but is not carrying wireless charge.

The optics on the smartphone have been beefed up with AI enhancements and also ships with a dual camera on the rear. The camera duo both have f/1.8 aperture, the main one with 16MP and the other 24MP. Still on the camera, there’s a 13MP f/2.0 aperture sensor  atathr front which is optimised for low light capture.

Hardware and Software

You still get the same premium grade processor has the high performing Huawei P20 Pro on the smartphone. It relies on the Hisilicon Kirin 970 chipset with a Mali-G72 MP12 GPU taking charge. There’s also word of a CPU turbo or double turbo which is suspected to improve both the processor and GPU perfomance.

To complete the awesome internals, the Huawei Honor Note 10 has a 6GB RAM with 64GB storage space. To get more out of the smartphone, another variant has 8GB RAM and 128GB built-in storage. The Android 8.1 Oreo running on the smartohsma is layered with EMUI 8.2 skin on top.

Huawei Honor Note 10 Pricing and Availability

The smartphone will cost around 150, 000 Naira depending on the deal and your location while the 8GB variant will go for more at 190, 000 Naira.

RingCentral is a renowned provider of cloud-based communications and collaboration solutions for homes and business, particularly for businesses. The company was founded and established in 1999 by Vlad Shmunis and is headquartered in Belmont, California. The company has offices in various locations like Denver Colorado, Toronto Ontario, Singapore, Philippines, Russia, Florida, Ukraine, and China.

RingCentral uses technology to make it easier for businesses to work and grow by providing the ground for businesses to effectively communicate, collaborate, and connect with teams, customers, and partners over the internet in any place, on any device, and through flexible means.

To achieve this, RingCentral has a couple of products and services that allows easily adoption and transition of business communication systems from on-premises PBX hardware to cloud-based voice over IP (VoIP) services: voice, fax, text, audio conferencing, and online meetings.

RingCentral Office

RingCentral Office is a pure cloud-based voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone system that supports personal phones and IP desktop phones. The service is easy to set up (takes minutes) and it eliminates the unnecessary costs that come with archaic communication hardware.

Some features of RingCentral Office include unlimited voice calling; unlimited SMS messaging; fax; extensive call handling; conference calls and video conferencing; integration with third-party email; file sharing; mobile apps integration; online meetings; 1,000 minutes per month of inbound toll-free calls; and team collaboration workspace.

Phone Service

RingCentral Office comes with a phone service “Auto-attendant” features which allow businesses customize welcome messages, greetings, or pleasantries for inbound calls. Furthermore, the auto-attendant feature, businesses can also route inbound calls on business hours, date, or date range basis.

Calls can, likewise, be forwarded to any within the office, sent to voicemail, or routed to a phone number outside the office.

A feature of RingCentral’s business phone system employers, bosses, or supervisors will most likely enjoy is the “Call monitoring” feature. With call monitoring, bosses and supervisors can listen in, in real time, on staff calls.

Fun part: a supervisor can talk directly to an employee during an active call without the customer hearing, directly jump in during a monitoring call to speak with both parties, or take over a call from an employee.

Video Conferencing

RingCentral provides, to businesses, one of the most inexpensive video conferencing system for start-ups, small businesses and the big ones.

With support for unlimited one-on-one meetings as well as compatibility for up to 100 participants in a video conference call, RingCentral video conferencing is one of the best out there.

Easy to use and organized interface

A side to RingCentral that many users and businesses have had positive words for is the simplicity of usage and interface of the system.

“Our experts were impressed by the fact that RingCentral handles complex phone configurations the same way it transfers contact numbers for simple ones, and makes the transition simple to help least-savvy users cope with it without training.” as reviewed by Finances Online.

Plans and Pricing

There are four flexible and affordable plans that, depending on the size and nature of your business, will fit perfectly with your communication and modern VoIP system needs.

The plans are Essential, Standard, Premium, and Ultimate. The Essential plan is the smallest of them and starts at $19.99/month per user. Key features of the plan include unlimited calls, conferencing, and business SMS; 100 toll-free minutes, and online meeting support for a max of 4 people.

Do you wish that you, as an accountant, had more time to spend building relationships with your clients and giving them business advice?

In my discussions with practicing accountants, I often hear them say that they wish they could spend fewer hours balancing books, preparing reports and recording transactions, and more on adding strategic value to their clients’ businesses.

The good news is that a new wave of technologies is automating many of the routine processes that once took up so much of your time. Big data, cloud computing, IoT, artificial intelligence are reinventing accounting across West Africa.

Here are some game-changing technologies that will empower you to take a new role in your clients’ businesses:

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is not only increasing the pace of automation, it’s also helping businesses find patterns in complex data, enabling faster information discovery and empowering accountants to generate smart forecasts. In our survey, 66% of respondents said they would invest in AI to automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks.

Chatbots, like Sage’s Pegg, are becoming popular in accounting as consumers get more comfortable asking computers questions. By simply asking Pegg who still owes them money, for example, businesses can get an instant overview about where they stand with debtors.

Tip: AI technologies are redefining the role of accountants. Don’t be afraid of them. Learn how to use the tools and data to help your clients meet their financial goals. As cool as chatbots are, many people still want to engage with a human.

2. Big data and IoT (The Internet of Things)

Big data and data analytics have allowed us to interact with data in new ways, while the IoT allows us to instantly and automatically capture information, like business kilometres and expense receipts. This information can be presented visually, to provide new insights into the business and to help you make better decisions.

Tip: Help your clients understand their data. Combine their data with financial trends and industry information to produce insightful forecasts that will help them run smarter businesses.

3. Automation

Manual data entry is becoming a thing of the past. Businesses can instantly capture and categorise receipts, expenses and invoices, giving them a real-time overview of their cash flow and improving compliance.

Tip: Automate as much of your client processes as you can so that you can add value in other areas, like advising on regulations and identifying areas for growth.

4. Head for the clouds

Today, businesses can instantly and cost-effectively access world-class accounting solutions that let them manage their finances from anywhere, on any device.

Tip: Upgrade your accounting practice to cloud-based solutions. You’ll always have access to the most up-to-date, compliant version and you’ll be rewarded with more time, fewer errors and happier clients. You can collaborate with your clients on the same software, in real-time, without needing to be in the same place

The Role of the Business Advisor

Sage research found that 42% of clients expected their accountant to provide business advice. Accountants that embrace this new role will be in high demand. It starts with understanding opportunities presented by the latest business solutions and upskilling yourself to add value to your clients.

There is a fuel injector fitted in most vehicles. The main job of injector is to supply fuel to the engine. However, just like any other machinery, a fuel injector can start malfunctioning at any time. It can either cease to spray fuel to the engine or the interval of spraying could be messed up by chance.

How do Fuel Injectors Work?

Before we talk about its functionality, let us first learn about the brief definition of a car Fuel Injector. It is basically an electronically controlled mechanical device that is responsible for spraying, or in other terms, we can call it ‘injecting’ the appropriate amount of fuel into the engine.

The right amount of fuel injection ensures the thorough mixture of air and the fuel, leading to complete combustion without any residue left behind due to partial combustion. This mechanism was initially implemented only in diesel engines, however at present, it seems to be popular among regular gasoline engines as well.

Coming to the functioning, the ECU or the Electronic control unit collects information from various engine sensors and determines the precise amount of diesel or gasoline to be released and the perfect timing of the fuel injector coil.

This ensures the correct dosage at the right time. The basic purpose of a fuel injector is to spray the fuel in a mist or an atomised form. This ensures uniform burning of the fuel. The injector comprises of an inlet port through which the Fuel Injector Pump, commonly abbreviated as FIP supplies pressurized diesel.

There is a spring present inside the conventional injector that holds the needle valve in a closed position. It keeps holding the needle valve until the high pressure lines meet a specific value.

What are the bad Fuel Injectors Symptoms?

Your fuel injector can be dirty, clogged or faulty. Carbon particles, old fuel and accumulation of residue leads to clogged fuel injectors. The collection of debris in the filter basket prevents the fuel to flow through it.

The unburnt hydro carbons affect the fuel flow rates and atomization. To make the description compact, here I am going to list some of the commonly seen bad fuel injectors symptoms:

• Poor performance of the vehicle
• Complications while starting the vehicle
• Fuel odours.
• Failed emission
• Engine fails to reach the full RPM
• Rough engine performance
• Oil thinning
• Pollution
• Smoke emission
• Increased fuel consumption
• Catastrophic engine failure

How to Prevent bad Fuel Injectors?

A regular maintenance is hardly advised. However, the parts of the vehicle must be inspected almost on a regular basis. Although the fuel injectors have got the finest tolerances, still a careful note of the components will prevent turning your head to troubles too often in the middle of the way or during emergencies.

Add moisture drawing ethanol or additives, conduct ultrasonic cleaning, visual supervision and actual flow pattern for volume and spray testing. This would produce a more reliable and guaranteed outcome.

Becoming a successful startup is not an easy job. On the contrary, it’s a difficult road filled with a lot of challenges, trials and errors. In the words of Elon Musk, a member of the PayPal mafia, billionaire and founder of Tesla and SpaceX:

“When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favour.”

Having an excellent business plan is how you can tip the odds in your favour. Going through each of the phases of the plan can give you a chance to set your priorities and, at the same time, evaluate the process.

Putting your thoughts on paper is a fantastic chance for you to get a clearer picture of what you want to accomplish and the best way to do that.

The ultimate startup business plan needs to have the following sections:

• Executive summary
• Company description
• Market research
• Products and services
• Marketing plan
• Operational plan
• Operational structure
• Management plan
• Organization plan
• Startup expenses
• Capitalization
• Financial plan
• Sales strategy
• Appendices

What you need to keep in mind is that this is a general overview, which includes almost all categories involved in the planning. However, you need to individualise everything according to your own needs.

For example, if you’re launching a new product on the market, it’s crucial for you to do market research, but if you’re upgrading an already existing service, then you need to do a competitor analysis.

Important Notes for the Business Plan

Understanding the process increases your chances for success and, as a startup, you have a responsibility to work out the details more carefully due to the obligations toward the investors.

One of the best approaches for developing a good business plan is to see what your competitors in the industry are doing. You need to identify the ones that already achieved the end goal, and then research the methods they used to get there.

Duplicating their business model, or at least borrowing some parts of it, will help you along the way because you will be working with an established and functioning strategy.

This will also help you find your unique selling point, which will differentiate you from your rivals and make you a brand on the market.

While you’re creating a business plan, you can additionally prepare a SWOT analysis, which will show you the potential risks and weaknesses of your company. Even though it might look that this is not an essential step at the beginning, it might save you many headaches down the line.

Profit and customers (the target market) are the last and most crucial chain of the process. You need to develop a strong marketing strategy that will be precisely directed at the target audience. Moreover, you need to find the channels and the techniques that will promote your startup to the right people and in the proper, most innovative way. Analysing consumer behaviour and studying the data available on the subject is going to help you form the price of the product/service.

Statistics

Now we can talk numbers. A high-quality business plan:

• Increases your chances of success by 16 percent
• Helps you in the process of raising capital for your startup company (bank loans and investors)
• Higher growth rates down the line

In a recent study published in the Harvard Business Review, the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics II found that:

• High-growth-oriented startup entrepreneurs are 7 percent more likely to plan.
• Entrepreneurs seeking external finance are 19 percent more likely to commit their vision to paper.

The main conclusion is that if you want to increase your chances of success, you should write a business plan!

Are you on the hunt for a modern phone system or solution for your home or workplace to replace the archaic wired phone lines? At that, a cost-effective one? Well, Voice over Internet Protocol (or VoIP for short) is the best modern and commonly used communication system which capitalizes on the power and speed of the internet as well as software integration to send data.

While the traditional telephone lines are still very much popular and stand as a competition to VoIP communication system, many homes, businesses, and individuals are going wireless. Likewise, people are getting enlightened about the numerous edges VoIP has over landlines and are looking to adopt the technology.

How VoIP works? Information sent (voices, text and videos) are encoded into digital signals and transmitted over the internet and subsequently decided into their original forms on the receivers end. Unlike cellular phones and landlines, VoIP reduces cost, eliminates the need for complex hardware, and has more useful features.

VoIP Services are, however, rendered by quite a number of providers. Hence, choosing the best one for use in the home, for your start-up, or small business can be stressful and confusing.

This is why we have identified some of the top players (read: service providers) in the VoIP ecosystem to help you find what’s right for you.

Best VoIP Phone Services Providers

Vonage

Vonage is one of the oldest and pioneering providers of VoIP solutions for households and businesses. While it functions quite similar to how traditional wired landline phone system works, Vonage services are accompanied by advanced features like visual voicemail, three-way calling, caller ID, call return, Do-not-disturb mode, and a wide menu of modern, business-class phone and call management service features.

Vonage comes with a ‘Vonage Box’ which upon installation works with traditional landline telephone handsets, and mobile apps integration which allow users to make/receive calls with their Vonage number. Vonage offers a variety of plans (personal, residential, and corporate) to choose from with price starting from as low as $9.99 monthly (on annual contract).

See more about Vonage’s VoIP services, features, plans, and pricing.

RingCentral

RingCentral is another leading provider of VoIP services. The company provides cloud-based voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone system that supports personal phones and IP desktop phones. With over 50 features some of which include call forwarding and recording, video conferencing support for up to 75 users, 10,000 minutes of toll-free minutes, voicemail-to-text, internet faxing etc.

RingCentral’s VoIP service is best for small and big businesses and comes with variety of plan with the least starting at $19.99/month.

Ooma

One of the highlightfeaturese of Omaa’s VoIP service is its encrypted crystal clear HD calls at extremely cheap cost; a one-time fee which allows for unlimited calls (in the United States). Ooma has a $90 router which comes with regular phone features, and other advanced features like support for smart home gadgets like Amazon Echo, smartphone app through which users can receive calls, and advanced voice compression to decrease bandwidth usage.

Lingo

Lingo is another VoIP service provider they renders phone and communication solutions to homes and business. It is similar to Ooma in that it has affordable plans, comes with smartphone support, and works perfectly with landlines. On Lingo, users can get as much as 500 international minutes for as low $10 in a month.

Skype

Owned and operated by Microsoft, Skype is one of the most popular VoIP provider used by many individuals, homes, and businesses. Although it doesn’t offer many complex VoIP features like the above providers, many of the basic one it does offer comes at no price — Skype-to-Skype voice calling, video calling, instant messaging, group or team chats and messaging, and video conferencing.

Calls to local and international numbers, however,r come at a (cheap) price and varies according to region. Skype is available on mobile app (Windows, iOS, Android), desktop app (Windows, Linux, Mac OS), web, consoles like Xbox, and even comes built-in some smart TVs.

While some of the above-mentioned VoIP service providers don’t come with any investment in hardware (i.e Skype), they are best for use in the home as an alternative to landlines (Vonage, too). However, if you are more focused on finding an effective VoIP system for your business, RingCentral is the best bet as it comes with top-of-the-line voice and video communication solutions. Skype is good for business use too.

Other notable mentions include 1-VoIP, Voipo, Jive, DialPad, Phone.com, and Google Hangouts.

At an event held in New York City, United States on August 9, the South Korean electronics giants announced a new product —the Samsung Galaxy Home— to mark its debut in the artificial intelligence (AI) driven smart home assistant ecosystem. While the OEM did not fully disclose all the specifications and features of the virtual assistant —we understand that this means Samsung aims to go toe-to-toe with big names like Apple, Google, and Amazon who are already dominating the market— it may be too early to make predictions on whether the company will succeed at it…or not.

But in the meantime, let’s have a peek at some of the properties of the Samsung Galaxy Home who got hold as the official launch is anticipated.

Samsung Galaxy Home: Design

Picture this: a typical big black cauldron (pot) with a narrow opening but big base, sitted comfortably on a metal tripod. Or a pineapple with its crown attached to its bottom. Done?

Well, I don’t know what you thought about but I’m quite sure the product of your virtual imagination looks something near the object in the image below.

The exact dimension of the Galaxy Home are unknown but it sort of appears to be bigger in size than the Google Home and Amazon Echo, perhaps due to the presence of the stainless steel tripod. However, as size isn’t exactly of much significance, Samsung does score extra points for the unique and elegant design and form of the smart speaker.

At the top, indicator lights coupled with a set of physical buttons are located. The body is covered in what seem to be a “texturized fabric cover” and available in Black colour (except Samsung introduces more colour variants during official launch). The legs (tripods) are rubberized at the tips to prevent them scratching off and damaging surfaces the speaker will be placed on.

Music & Audio

During launch, Samsung mentioned that the Galaxy Home will ‘make music sound even more amazing’. Audio in the Galaxy home will be powered by six speakers and a subwoofer based on the AKG Audio technology from Harman, a company Samsung acquired back in 2016 for $8 billion.

For attendants and prospective users to have first-hand audio experience of the Galaxy Home speaker, likewise, its room-filling capability, Samsung used 160 of the speakers to provide the audio during the launch event.

To handle music on the Galaxy Home, Samsung announced its long-term partnership with popular digital music service, Spotify at the announcement event. And not just only on the Galaxy Home, Spotify will be powering Music on other Samsung products henceforward.

Voice Input

As the Samsung’s native virtual assistant, Bixby will be running on the Galaxy Home, proper receipt of voice commands is paramount. This I why the device comes with eight far-field microphones for detecting and picking up voice input and commands.

On a side note, the Bixby Assistant has been updated to become even smarter, understand commands better, and follow up with conversation more smoothly. Probably still not anywhere near Google Assistant or Siri but it sure is a welcomed development.

Price and Availability

Not sure if you already picked it up from the intro that Samsung isn’t ready to release the Galaxy Home smart speaker. The announcement at the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launch event was just to put word out on one of the many next-big-thing it in store.

However, it is certain that the smart speaker will be released in California on November 7 at the upcoming Samsung Developer Conference. And if the device isn’t released at the event, more features, specs, and information regarding release date and pricing will surely be made available.

Nevertheless, price of the Samsung Galaxy Home is expected to be in the range of $300 to $359.

The Meizu 16 has been in the pipe for a while now with leaks and rumours flying around. The smartphone is here and guess what? It will be Meizu”s first high-end flagship to be made. It follows the recent smartphone trends when it has to do with the design unlike the Meizu 15 which was somewhat a classica piece. Meizu’s new flagship is one that has most of the boxes ticked when it has anything to do with flagship features.

Design and Display

The Meuzu 16 comes with what most of these flagships bring to the table which is an appealing glass and an 18:9 aspect ratio or something close. It has more rounded edges which makes it look a bit different. Also, it comes with a 3.5mm audio jack, USB Type-C port, and a speaker at the bottom while the side as the volume rocker as well as the power button. There is the much reduced bezels around the screen especially at the side to bring the display coverage to 91.18%.

Meizu retajns the mBack button that is on screen and adds an underscreen fingerprint scanner for your own use. Made with an aluminium frame that blends with the glass covering, thus the smartphone appears uniform. The dual camera is placed vertically at the upper center with the ring flash below it.

Coming to the screen, you have to give Meizu some accolades for the Super AMOLED display used in the Meizu 16. Same as the other recent flagships, the smartphone comes with a fairly large display of 6.0-inch. Regarding resolution, the display is a Full HD+ 1080 X 2160 pixels resolution with a 402 ppi pixel density.

Battery and Camera

As for the battery, there is about the same average capacity most of these smartphones have. The Meizu 16 for example ships with a 3, 010mAh battery. As it should, there is mCharge 4.0 which is Meizu’s fast charge feature for filling your battery quickly. However, you will not be enjoying wireless charge on this one.

Now for those of you interested in the optics on the smartphone, you have a capable dual camera on the back of the smartphone. It possesses a  12MP camera with f/1.8 aperture and a 20MP camera having a f/2.8 aperture. The selfie camera is a 20MP sensor which according to Meizu is nothing short of impressive.

Hardware and Software

Interestingly, the Meizu 16 comes with the kind of chipset only seen in top of the line premium smartphones  Under the hood,  there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 CPU which is paired with Adreno 630 GPU  On this, you should enjoy no lags and a smooth experience even on the most graphic intensive mobile games.

Furthermore, it packs a large 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage , although, a less speced variant has 6GB RAM working with 64GB built-in storage. It also carries a copper tube heat dessipation tube to distribute heat away from the chipset. It is however, not with the latest Android Oreo version (Android 8.0 Oreo) and a customary Flyme UI.

Meizu 16 Pricing and Availability

Considering this is the first time Meizu is featuring the high-end Qualcomm chipset it sells for just about 142, 000 Naira depending on the deal and your location.

The past week has been quite a busy one for Samsung as the South Korean electronics and gadget giant has embarked on an unveiling spree of new products; the latest being the Samsung Galaxy Watch — the new flagship off its wearable line of products. Other products that were unveiled include the Galaxy Home AI speaker, the Galaxy Tab S4, and the Galaxy Note 9.

While the last notable wearables from Samsung were the Gear S3 released in November 2016, and the Gear Sport (2017), Samsung has decided to steer towards a totally new direction and drop the ‘Gear’ codename from its smartwatch line of product and adopt the renowned ‘Galaxy’ branding. Hence, the release of the Samsung Galaxy Watch, and not ‘Gear S4’ as many had expected and previously predicted.

With the Galaxy Watch, Samsung is looking to re-enter and (maybe) dominate the smartwatch market in grand style. But with top-of-the-line smartwatches from rival brands like Apple, Xiaomi, Huawei etc., will the features of the Galaxy Watch compete effectively? Does it cut the mustard? I guess time will be the judge of that.

Samsung Galaxy Watch: Design

Generally, the aesthetical property of the Samsung Galaxy Watch is similar to its predecessor, the Gear S3. The only difference, which might take quite much time to notice, is that the dial designs have a more analog-y appearance.

About the display, a 1.3-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 360 x 360 resolution is in place. While one might wonder why Samsung chose to adopt the same display hardware used on the Gear S3 of 2016, you can’t but admit that display is a good one. Surrounding the display is a rotating bezel for navigation and switching between apps.

The Galaxy Watch sports the Gorilla Glass DX+ which was recently announced by Corning for wearable devices.

The Gorilla Glass DX+ —asides improving sunlight readability by 75% and offering improved resistance against scratches, bump, knocks, and whatnot— surprisingly brings about improvements in battery life.

Variants

The Samsung Galaxy Watch comes in two variants, the first time Samsung will release a smartwatch in two types; like it mostly does with smartphones.

The two variants are entirely differentiated by watch face size, with (the smaller) one coming in at 42mm while the other is sized 46mm. The 46mm Galaxy Watch will be available in Silver colour while the 42mm variant will launch in Rose Gold and Midnight Black colours.

All features and properties of both watches are entirely the same, save for battery capacity, RAM, and connectivity. Both variants are 5 ATM water resistant and possess military-grade (MIL-STD-810G) protection.

Hardware, Processor & OS

Underneath the body of the Samsung Galaxy Watch is a dual-core Exynos 9110 chipset that clock up to 1.15GHz. In assistance is 1.5GB of RAM (46mm 4G model) for fluid operations and 4GB of built-in memory for data and multimedia storage. The Bluetooth (42mm) variant, however, comes with 768MB of RAM.

The Galaxy Watch will run Samsung’s native Tizen OS, but a rather improved version; the Tizen OS v4.0.

Battery

One of the highlights of the Samsung Galaxy Watch is the seven-day battery life it boasts of. The 42mm model comes with 270mAh battery while the 46mm model is almost twice the size of the smaller counterpart; 472mAh.

Other features

• Samsung Health App — tracks up to 40 different workouts
• Built-in GPS
• Samsung Pay — supports only NFC transactions
• Compatible with Android 5.0 or iOS 9.0 and above
• Heart rate monitor
• Calorie tracking
• Reminders
• Sleep tracker/monitor

Price and Availability

Perhaps to drive up sales, Samsung beat down the price of the Galaxy Watch to be about $90 cheaper than the Gear S3. And though they won’t be up for sale till August 24 in Korea, pre-order have officially begun; global shipping of the wearable will commence on September 14.

The 42mm variant of the Samsung Galaxy Watch with 768MB of RAM and Bluetooth will cost $329.99 while the bigger 46mm variant with 1.5GB RAM and 4G LTE will sell for $349.99.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Specifications

• Dimension — 46 x 49 x 13 mm, 63g (46mm) l 42 x 46 x 13 mm, 49g (42mm)
• Battery — 427mAh (46mm) l 270mAh (42mm)
• Chipset — Dual-core 1.15GHz Samsung Exynos 9110 processor
• RAM — 1.5GB (4G) l 768MB (Bluetooth)
• Storage — 4GB internal memory
• Operating System — Tizen OS 4.0
• Compatibility — Android 5.0 or iOS 9.0 and above

Apparently the way smartphone looks have been evolving over time especially recently. Oppo has just released its latest mid-range smartphone which by the way features a modified notch. Quite frankly, the features on the smartphone is nice but certainly nothing to fuss about. However, the way the smartphone is made is the major standout defining factor from the competition out there. You would also be getting a number of cool nice features like VOOC fast charge, premium glass build and some fairly powerful mid-range hardware.

Design and Display

The Oppo F9 is crafted in away that, both the front and rear have one or two appealing quality. Facing you, the smartphone comes with a nice screen coverage and little pinch into the screen housing the camera, speaker and sensors. It comes with a gradient colour design where the colour gradually changes from bottom to bottom. Made from glass, the smartphone has a cascading colour effect which is very attractive. It is also likely to come with the audio jack port which is gradually dwindling in some set of smartphones.

To the front, the smartphone comes with an impressive 90.8% screen coverage on the surface. To achieve this, bezels have been greatly minimised and the notch too is well reduced to look like a tiny cut out from the screen. The 6.3-inch display will be having the protection of the latest Corning Gorilla Glass 6 to make it much more durable. The pixel density is 409 ppi and with a 1080 X 2340 pixels resolution.

Battery and Camera

In the smartphone scens, the Oppo F9 would certainly qualify as one that have a reliable battery capacity. The Oppo F9 has a 3, 500mAh Li-Po battery which is about enough for average day to day operations. Oppo also offers the VOOC Flash Charge which is said to be 4X faster than normal charging on the smartphone.

For most people especially the young buyers, the camera on a smartphone is very important if not one of the most looked out for feature on a smartphone. To this end, the Meizu 16 sports a dual camera on the rear side involving a 16MP primary camera and 2MP background seneor. At the front, the smartphone has a 25MP canera which should more than handle things quite well for selfie lovers.

Hardware and Software

The Oppo F9 might look like one high-end smartphone, but the inside tells a different story entirely. The SoC on the smartphone is a decent MediaTek Helio P60 chipset working hand in hand with a Mali-G72 MP3 GPU. The processor is a recent top of the mid-range line tech from MediaTek, so you should expect a nice smooth performance.

Furthermore, it will be shipping with 6GB RAM for multi-tasking with ease and a 64GB storage space from the box. If you’re an heavy user of space you can extend the storage to 256GB using a TF card. There is the ColorOS 5.2 from Oppo layered on the Android 8.1 Oreo.

Oppo F9 Pricing and Availability

The smartphone is has been launched in the Philippines but the expected price tag should be around 120, 000 Naira depending on the deal.

Businesses today want more from their accountants. Business strategy, growth planning and future vertical industry trends are all areas that accountants are being expected to input on with knowledge and confidence.

Sage’s own Practice of Now 2018 report found that 83 per cent of clients are demanding more today from accountants than five years ago, while 42 per cent also expect their accountant to provide business strategy and advice.

It’s likely that many accountants are managing this evolution with a mix of anticipation and trepidation.

Beyond the Books

With clear sight into a company’s profits, losses and operational expenditure, accountants have a birds-eye view of a business and can clearly see what growth strategies are working and which aren’t. This vantage point is often under-appreciated and overlooked within the businesses they work for, but accountants can be a fantastic source of information and insight.

Until now many accountants have been expected to ‘do’, often without being asked for their opinion or input on the strategic elements of the business growth plan. But what is certainly clear is that clients’ expectations have changed – and accounting professionals are in a stronger and more valued position than ever before.

For years, accountancy teams have crunched numbers. But now, they are being asked to use these figures to help support new strategies and changes of business direction. Better still, before these strategies are developed they are in a position to give input on business direction based on what the numbers and insights are telling them.

Imagine a world where business strategy is driven by numbers, instead of just supported by them. That time, it seems, is now.

Pushing into new markets, calculating the risk versus benefit of launching new products and services, and determining which parts of a company require investment are all areas of responsibility rarely associated with accountants. Today these are expected of accountants.

This will no doubt be an intimidating prospect for some, and an exciting one for others. So how can accountants keep up with the pace of change and become truly invaluable to their clients? The future of accounting lies in technology innovation and productivity improvement but also in being able to provide guidance and consultancy, beyond their traditional remit.

Shake up Today’s Business for Tomorrow’s Success

So, you run a small-to-medium sized business. Your accounts process is working well. However, there still are plenty of opportunities to improve and drive value – and technology innovation is often a good place to start.

For example, wider use of cloud-based systems can dramatically improve processes and drive efficiency. As remote working becomes common practice, cloud accounting enables staff to work seamlessly and quickly, no matter their location.

If someone is on the move, reports can be accessed on mobile devices to make instant updates, to which people back in the office can respond immediately. With a master database in place you will also avoid duplication, making for seamless collaboration that will reduce time spent fixing problems and increase productivity.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and the myriad of systems to choose from can be dizzying. But the right technology innovation in accountancy can significantly reduce admin and allow staff to use the time to carry out strategic tasks to bolster a business’ bottom line. Such an approach is given credence when you consider that US businesses alone bleed nearly a billion dollars a day on lost productivity to basic administration tasks.

Augmented Accountancy

Many accountants have already significantly changed how they approach their work or service their clients, and the question they may be asking is, ‘what next?’

Technology with machine learning or ‘smart’ capabilities may well be the answer. Through the use of automation and the ability to work anywhere and anytime, some 66% of accountants said they would invest in artificial intelligence.

At first this may require some investment and learning of new skills for accountants and their firms, especially given only 39% of accountants describe themselves as early technology adopters. Yet with an eye on the future, these outlays in money and time can yield much more valuable results further down the line.

Newly skilled accountants, backed by the latest technology, will be better prepared to transition into a world beyond balancing books and filling out forms into one that offers the chance to help drive a business’ future.

Preparing for Change

Mirroring the business world as a whole, accountancy is changing rapidly – and is a very different world from 10 years ago. For some, the evolution is swift and with others it is more of a gradual transition. But regardless, change is an opportunity.

Businesses will almost certainly gain more value from their accountants if they see them less as financial administrators and more as consultants with specialist knowledge and deep operational and strategic insights. Accountants and companies willing to embrace this shift will be at the forefront of future business leadership, while those that resist it risk being left behind.
