Presales for the new rugged Ulefone Armor X2 started at just $99.99 | Rugged Smart Phone

Moving from traditional passwords to stronger forms of authentication is “one of the great challenges that we face in online computing,” said Saboori. “[Microsoft] is embracing a future without passwords by building Windows Hello into the platform experience and enabling multi-factor authentication in first- and third-party applications.”

One particularly interesting feature of the Armor 6 are its advanced imaging capabilities, which are comprised of a 16 MP + 8 MP main camera with an ƒ/2.0 large aperture and dual LED flash, as well as an 8 MP selfie camera with an ƒ/2.0 large aperture. In order to improve the resulting image quality and boost the effective resolution of photos taken with the phone, it’s configured to use both cameras at once, combining their inputs using a special algorithm designed by Arcsoft and running on the SoC ISP. While a neat feature in and of itself, the unfortunate side-effect is that Ulefone is advertising this higher interpolated resolution as the native resolution of the camera system, which in practice isn’t the case.

It packs 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. As for the photography, there’s a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 21-megapixel RGB primary sensor and a 13-megapixel monochrome secondary sensor. On the front side, there’s a 13-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling. The phone’s camera comes with Arcsoft algorithm and AI-based features.

Other forecasts have pegged Windows 7′s January 2020 user share at a remarkable 34%, meaning more than a third of all Windows PCs will rely on the then-unsupported operating system.

There are two other aspects to the P8 that we need to mention for anyone considering a purchase. The first is that while this phone came with a relatively unadulterated version of Android Oreo 8.1 installed, when we got the phone, the latest security update was dated June 2018.

While Windows was previously the de facto standard for mobile devices in the manufacturing and warehousing space, Microsoft’s decision to end support for legacy platforms like Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5, Windows Embedded Compact 7 and Embedded 8 has opened the door to even greater adoption of the Android operating system. Microsoft will stop supporting those Windows platforms after 2020, so we expect that more companies will begin the platform transition over the next 12 months.

In short, just too many cost-cutting choices have been made with the Poptel P8, and for less than £20 ($25) more you can buy another Chinese-made waterproof design with four times the storage, twice the memory, a better screen, fast charging and an eight-core processor (namely the Cubot King Kong 3).

I think The Third Wave kind of hit on that since technology would make it easier to have customized products, while a side-effect is reducing resale value.

Those familiar with older Honeywell mobile computers will find that, like all recent models, the CT40 handheld is only available with Android. Several earlier Honeywell handhelds offered a choice between Android and mobile versions of Windows. But with Microsoft stopping further development of Windows 10 Mobile, it didn’t make much sense to offer an abandoned OS in a new product.

This lag makes taking pictures a rather haphazard exercise, as the framing of the captured image rarely matches the image which was on-screen when a snap was initiated.

If you’re looking for a portable printer that offers very good print quality – some times better than standard inkjet printers – while also being fast when it comes to producing printouts, then the HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile Printer is a great choice. Weighing less than HP’s previous mobile printers, the HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile Printer is a brilliant little portable printer that can hook up to devices via Wi-Fi. It offers plenty of connectivity options, though Bluetooth isn’t included. A lack of an included USB cable also feels a bit mean.
