    Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 – Best Features

    Samsung is going for the smartwatch crown for Android with a few quirks it has the potential.

    Samsung has made many smartwatches and through all that experience the company has refined its Tizen software so much that it has completely ditched Google’s Wear OS.

    The Galaxy watch 3 is the latest effort to keep up with reigning smartwatch competitor Apple, introducing familiar features like fall detection and ECG. Samsung also improves their sleep tracking to perform faster than Apple. The hallmark physical rotating bezel is still a superior way to navigate a smartwatch. Watch 3 is priced at $400.

    Galaxy Watch 3

    Design

    The Galaxy Watch 3 is noticeably lighter and slimmer which doesn’t feel as overwhelming. Its stainless-steel case is shinier and classier than the Galaxy Watch active 2, although its underside is noticeably chunkier.

    There is also a bump in between the two buttons on the right side that prevents them from accidentally being pressed.

    Features

    The Galaxy Watch 3’s new features revolve around making it a better health and fitness companion, the upcoming ECG tool along with the new blood pressure readings helps provide more insight to your overall health but these are pending a software update and regulatory approval.

    Running Coach

    Samsung’s not the first company to provide real-time audio and visual feedback on your jog but the latest wearables from apple & Fitbit don’t offer this.

    Additionally, Samsung is doing it for free which is rare after selecting a goal from options like light running, calorie-burning, and speed endurance, you can start your running. The light mode guides you through four stages at gradually increasing speeds and the watch buzzes to tells you to either slow down or speed up to hit the targets.

    The watch would say things like great pace, keep up this pace or think positively you’re getting closer to your goal with every step which’s meant to be encouraging but delivered in its robotic voice.

    Galaxy Watch 3 shows a more comprehensive analysis for running than other workouts with average heart rate, session duration, and calories burned, you’ll see feedback on your symmetry, contact time, flight time, stiffness, and regularity with advice on what areas you need to improve.

    You get more guidance like suggested drills and charts showing your cadence and pace when you view your session in the Samsung Health app on your phone, A feature that will be appreciated by exacting athletes.

    Sleep Tracking

    Samsung updated the watch 3’s sleep tracking to use the heart rate monitor and accelerometer data which is a very similar approach to Fitbit and uses the info to estimate how much time you spend in zones like Rem, light sleep, deep sleep, or when you are awake.

    Samsung will count the time you spend to sleep and other factors like restlessness to assign you a score.

    Health Tracking

    Tizen OS health tracking outshines Wear OS and Fitbit OS,

    it offers a helpful widget for tracking your food and water intake, stress tracking with guided breathing to help you relax and prompt easy exercises when ideal for 1hrs.

    Heart rate monitor to check your heartbeat and Blood Oxygen reading to access your health using pores, temperature, blood pressure, and respiratory rate

    Fall Detection

    In life-threatening situations, Watch 3 can determine when you fall in to get help or you can push the home button on the right side three times to call your emergency contacts and share your location with them to.

    Sync

    One of Samsung’s smartwatch strengths at least against competitors like Fitbit and Garmin is how it syncs with your phone.

    Tizen is far better equipped at handling things like replying to messages, controlling your music, summoning an Uber, or controlling your smart home.

    When you receive a message, the watch will show some of the exchange before it so you can get some context for your conversation. Pictures and messages also show up in notifications which is something the Fitbit and Garmin’s don’t offer.

    If you want to, you can also use the Samsung watch to call your friends and the onboard mic will make you sound clear. The speakers are loud enough to hear over some light background noise too.

    Conclusion

    Watch 3 has a robust and well-rounded set of features. With the Galaxy Watch 3, Samsung easily holds onto the title of the best smartwatch for Android users.

    An honour held for the past two years.

    While the COVID-19 pandemic has affected several industries in the world, the mobile phone manufacturing industry just keeps on blooming. Infinix Mobility is one of these companies that were not really hit by the pandemic.

    Why am I saying this? This is because, while other industries like the flight industry had to literally shut down, the mobile phone manufacturing companies kept on producing new phones.

    If there’s a major reason for people making a purchasing decision to acquire an iPhone, it mostly has to do with camera quality. Apple has this at the back of its mind so no, they’ll never downplay the essence of the camera quality on their newest release. The new iPhone 12 pro packs a whooping Quad primary cameras. Each camera having a 12MP Lens. Awesome, right? This can take care of your professional photography needs. The primary camera also produces video of the following qualities; 4K@24/30/60fps, 1080p@30/60/120/240fps.

    iPhone 12 and 12 Mini: Details, Price, Best Deals In Ghana

    Apple’s latest addition to the already famous iPhone series includes the iPhone 12 and 12 Mini. While they are yet to be officially released, the phones announced in the early days of October 2020 have become a major talking point for phone lovers, especially iPhone lovers.

    The iPhone 12 and 12 Mini are a wonderful pair of camera giants expected to compete with some of the top-tier phones on the market presently and probably uplift Apple’s iPhone series to the top of present smartphone brands.

    If you are looking for the specifications, price and where to buy the all-new iPhone 12 and 12 Mini in Ghana, then you are at the right place. In this article, we shall discuss all there is to know about these two phones.

    iPhone 12 Specifications

    The Apple iPhone 12 is a good buy for those who value phone speed and quality camera alongside all the other amazing features possessed by the iPhone series.

    Announced in October 2020 and released on the 23rd of that same month, the iPhone 12 has body dimensions of 5.78 x 2.81 x 0.29 inches which makes it quite sizeable but smaller than the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.

    The phone is covered with Corning Gorilla glasses both in front and behind. It has a Super Retina XDR OLED display and a screen resolution of 1170 x 2532 pixels. The iPhone 12 is also scratch-resistant and is Ip68 rated – making it dust and water-resistant.

    This awesome phone runs on the Apple A14 Bionic chipset and the IOS 14.1 Operating system.

    For Processor speed, the iPhone 12 has one of the most powerful processors available on the market now. It runs a Hexa-core processor with two 3.1GHZ cores and four 1.8 GHz cores.

    As usual, the iPhone series does not support external memory cards but its 64GB, 128GB and 256GB memory models and an outstanding 4GB RAM take care of all your storage worries.

    For the camera lovers, here is yours. The iPhone 12 comes with dual Primary cameras all with 12 MP lenses. The secondary camera for selfies also has a single 12MP lens which gives it a higher quality than most phone’s primary camera output.

    What’s disheartening however about the iPhone 12 is the fact that its battery capacity is relatively low. Though iPhones are known for lower battery capacities, the iPhone 12 has a relatively lower size with a capacity of 2,815 mAh.

    iPhone 12 Mini Specifications

    The Apple iPhone 12 mini is the smaller and more mobile version of the iPhone 12. It comes with smaller body size with dimensions covering 5.18 x 2.53 x 0.29 inches.

    It was first announced on 13th October 2020 and is expected to be released on the 13th November 2020. Just like the iPhone 12, the 12 mini is also covered with the Corning Gorilla glass both in front and behind. It also has an aluminium frame to give it that shiny feel and look.

    The phone is also Ip68 rated and has a Super Retina XDR OLED display. It has a screen resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels.

    The iPhone 12 mini runs on the Apple A14 Bionic chipset just as the iPhone 12. It also operates with a hexacore CPU and runs on IOS 14.1

    Talk of camera quality, the 12 mini is no different from the iPhone 12. It also has dual primary cameras with 12MP Lenses and a secondary camera with a 12MP lens.

    If you are known for using phone continuously and consuming your battery quickly, then the iPhone 12 mini may not be the deal for you. Its battery capacity is far worse than the iPhone 12. The Lithium-ion battery only holds 2227MaH of battery power.

    Both phones have Fast charging 20W, 50% in 30 min, USB power delivery and Qi Fast Wireless charging at 12 Watts.

    iPhone 12 and 12 Mini Price And Where To Buy In Ghana

    If you wish to acquire Apple’s iPhone 12 here in Ghana, you should be looking at spending between GHS 6,300 to GHS 8,500. The price depends on the memory capacity with the least one being the 64GB model. You can either purchase it from online outlets such as Phone Aqua or visit an authorised Apple outlet. For the iPhone 12 Mini, it is yet to be released. However, prices are expected to range between GHS 4,500 to GHS 5,500.

    Conclusion

    Apple’s phones are made with wonderful sleek designs which make them the preferred choice for a large number of smartphone users.
