ZTE Blade D Lux debuts in Vietnam and Singapore

Posted on by

ZTE has launched a new smartphone in its Blade series of affordable offerings. It’s called Blade D Lux, and so far it’s only been made available in Vietnam and Singapore. However, we assume it will be headed to other countries too in the near future.

The D Lux is a lower-midrange product, as you’d expect from the Blade line. It comes with a 5.5-inch 720p touchscreen with 2.5D glass on top, a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash, an 8 MP selfie cam, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset (with a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU), 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, LTE, and a 3,000 mAh battery.

It runs Android Lollipop, though whether that’s 5.0 or 5.1 is up for debate, since both version numbers show up in different parts of the ZTE website. The Chinese company is clearly aiming this one at young people, and especially selfie lovers thanks to the high-res front-facing snapper.

The Blade D Lux can be had in Vietnam for VND 3.89 million, which currently translates into $173 or €159. Over in Singapore, the device will be sold by the M1 carrier for SGD 239 ($166, €152).

Los patrones de desbloqueo que no debes usar jamás

Posted on by

Hexlock bloquear apps Android

La seguridad es una de las principales preocupaciones de todo ser viviente. Si nos centramos en el mundo tecnológico, esta preocupación es también muy importante, y es que hacer un mal uso de la tecnología puede acarrearnos graves problemas en materia de seguridad y privacidad. En muchos casos, los usuarios ni tan siquiera saben que están cometiendo un error, ni son conscientes de las consecuencias que ello tendrá.

Si nos centramos en los smartphones, lo de la seguridad y privacidad cobra un nuevo sentido. En nuestros teléfonos llevamos un sinfín de información personal, desde imágenes y vídeos, hasta mensajes, números de cuentas bancarias o tarjetas, direcciones, contraseñas, o información de nuestros contactos. Por ello, es conveniente saber utilizar bien nuestro terminal, y emplear de forma correcta las herramientas que nos proporciona para mantener nuestros datos a buen recaudo.

Los patrones de desbloqueo más comunes en Android

Una de esas herramientas es la del patrón de desbloqueo. En caso de pérdida o robo, un buen patrón puede mantener seguros nuestros datos, y aunque esto no nos devuelva el teléfono, muchas veces es más valiosa esa información que el propio dispositivo. Un patrón de desbloqueo debe cumplir básicamene una regla: que tenga cierta dificultad para que no sea fácil de adivinar.

Por eso, debemos evitar cualquiera de los que podéis ver en la imagen que aparece junto a estas líneas. Se trata de los patrones de desbloqueo más comunes que usan los usuarios de Android, y como podéis comprobar, no tienen ningún tipo de dificultad, a excepción del último (esquina inferior derecha), que es un ejemplo de un patrón más seguro.

Así que ya lo sabéis. Si usáis patrón de desbloqueo, debéis usar uno con los máximos puntos posibles, y lo más enrevesado posible, porque un patrón de desbloqueo típico como la L, la M, la Z o la S, de poco nos servirá si se hace con nuestro dispositivo alguien con maldad y un poco de suerte.

¿Y tú que piensas? Pásate por Los patrones de desbloqueo que no debes usar jamás para dejar tu huella.

watchOS 2.2 beta allows multiple Apple Watches to pair with one iPhone

Posted on by

The new iOS 9.3 beta for developers isn’t the only thing Apple is releasing today. The company has also made the watchOS 2.2 beta available for developers. This latest iteration of the software running inside the Apple Watch comes with one big new feature.

You can now pair multiple Apple Watches with one iPhone. This is only possible if all of those wearables are running the watchOS 2.2 beta release, and if that iPhone has the iOS 9.3 beta installed.

The watchOS 2.2 beta also brings with it a new Nearby menu, which you can find in the Glances section of the Maps app. Nearby will show you sub-categories like Food, Drinks, Shopping, Travel, and Health, letting you choose which one you’re interested in. Meanwhile, Glances will run searches and show you quick directions when you need them.

With watchOS 2.2, developers can create more detailed workout summaries in their apps. This means you may see things such as “active energy burned” or the amount of time spent exercising listed inside your favorite fitness apps.

Unlike for iOS, Apple doesn’t currently have a public beta program for watchOS, so you’ll only get these new features on your watch when the software is finalized. That’s probably going to take (at least) a few…
