Capture #Selfies Which Are Once In A Lifetime Moment #Mobiistar @MobiistarIndia

Hi Friends, 

The camera is the invention which brought the world to capture the memories and keep them forever. Around the world museums, memorials and government buildings are flooded with photographs of world leaders and things alike. With the invention of the camera in a smartphone, the world came real close as the photographs were shared on online channels instantly. Rear camera smartphones were the trend but then the whole of the action moved to the front camera giving us what we call as a Selfie Experience. 

Selfie Camera gained wide acceptance and grew from VGA to now more than rear cameras megapixels or to dual cameras as seen in most of the smartphones these days. Vietnamese Smartphone brand, Mobiistar is one of those brands which beliefs in the principle of ENJOY MORE! They have come up with their smartphones in India which are launched in collaboration with Flipkart where you can check out its amazing 120-degree wide angle dual selfie camera capabilities.

I had an Enjoy More moment some months back at the birth of my second child after a gap of more than eight and half years since I became a father. My elder daughter was very eager to have one of her own brothers or sisters as she felt alone while we both go the office and in the day to day struggles or the rat race to meet your goals. The gap became wider and wider because of working locations and other commitments like not able to take maternity holidays in the first year of your job with the new organization.

Check out this selfie right from the hospital as my wife came out of the operation theatre and icing on the cake was that my parents too reached our city on the same day just hours before the birth of our child whom we named Reyansh - meaning a Ray of Light. Playing with him is just like playing with a toy and I really could relive the moments which I could not with my elder one. I was sent to London for a project assignment whereas my wife and daughter stayed back in India when she was just 11 months old. My wife got the opportunity to work again when she was 6 months old after a gap of two and half years. And I only came back after she celebrated her 2nd birthday too without me. It was a huge sacrifice for which I have no reasons or arguments to justify the same.

With Reyansh in my hands, I thank Almighty Lord that I was there for him from the time he was conceived to the caesarean birth time and out of the hospital. I take time to spend with him every morning and in the evenings to enjoy the parenthood which I missed earlier though I was with Keisha for around 11 months. Little kids are like a flower for which you smile as you look at them every once in a while. I always make it a selfie moment every weekend so that we can remember how it was to do his first things. I still remember when Keisha went to see her first movie, we met Amitabh Bachchan just randomly without any expectations. He came right into the PVR Gold Class lounge at Ambience Mall, Gurugram and sat just behind where I was sitting and later came Ritesh Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez.

Such moments in life can only be captured if you had a selfie camera which clearly I didn't have at that time but now I am sure, I will definitely go for Mobiistar #StarSelfieSeries Dual-selfie camera smartphone to capture both my family as well as the locations where we take Reyansh on his first tours around the world! Till that time....keep clicking on your smartphone and keep making memories with you in them too!!!

Cheers!!!

9 Reasons to Consider #HuaweiP9 #Smartphone @HuaweiZA @Leica_Camera

Hi Guys,

We recently saw the latest additions to the dual-lens P9 family, the P9 Red and P9 Blue. Now this can change the way you see the world in two signature colours and stand out from the smartphone crowd like a pro! Since launch, the Huawei P9 has sold over 6 million devices globally, a remarkable achievement to date and customers around the world continue to share and capture their experiences with the P9. You may be asking yourself what makes the P9 so exceptional? Here are 9 reasons to get the phone that everybody is talking about:

1. LEICA QUALITY
Innovative dual-camera smartphone photography system co-engineered with Leica to take image quality to a new level. Did we mention you can become the ultimate selfie expert with mastered selfies? With the P9, it is possible.

2. LEICA-SPECIFIED FEATURES
Authentic Black and White photography with dedicated monochrome sensor. Three Leica classic film modes for more stylish photos, more vivid and true-to-life colors. I am sure as soon as you click some photos with the monochromatic lens of P9, you will fall in love with them. I sure am fan of the same though I only have clicked one photograph so far at the launch event.

3. NEW COLORS
New bold RED and BLUE P9 colors, perfect for consumers seeking exquisite style. I fell in love with the Red P9 as soon as I first saw the same.

4. EXQUISITE THREE TYPE OF METAL-FINISHING
World-leading industrial design employing advanced ultra-fine brushed hairlines, sand-blasting and ceramic-effect metal polishing.

5. ULTRA-COMPACT
Sleek, streamlined design with bezel-less screen for better screen-to–body ratio. The dual rear lenses of the P9 fit perfectly so you do not need to worry about having that awkward camera bump.

6. BATTERY
No need to stress about charging your P9 throughout the day because a larger battery capacity gives you longer run-time with fast-charging capabilities.

7. CONNECTIVITY
Dual SIM and Single SIM options with Micro-SD memory expansion. This helps us to forget our DSLR at home and just push in some 32/64gb memory cards so as to click 3000/6000 photographs.

8. INTERACTIVITY
3D fingerprint recognition gives you added security with accurate and safer user access.

9. AUDIO ENHANCEMENT
The P9 has concealed stereo speakers (Horizontal mode) and high Fidelity Sound (Vertical mode) for the best quality audio.

Two lenses are just the beginning of dual-lens photography. Behind the lens, we have built a brand partnership with Leica who bring over 100 years of photography innovation. Our customers love the photography capabilities that are now available in the palm of their hands and capturing professional photographs has never been easier. The size of both dual cameras are 12-megapixels to help you get professional camera-like photo quality even in low light, all the time. Impressed? We hope so because the Huawei P9 will exceed your expectations over and over again. Search the hashtags #HuaweiP9, #CapturedonP9 and #OO to find some amazing shots taken by P9 users around the world.

12megapixels was the sensor on Nikon D90 DSLR and it's still used mostly by Wedding photographers so the real test of users will be to learn the art of capturing the candid moments on P9. I am looking forward to this phone as my day to day smartphone but there are still if's and but's at the end of Huawei South Africa. 

Cheers!!!

Modular Design Linked To "Play" Theme #LgG5 @LGMobileSA #LGPlayMore

Hi Guys, 

Juno Cho, President at LG Corporation in Korea described the new LG G5 device as an “adventurous theme park in your pocket” and we couldn’t agree more. A round of applause to the mobile smartphone of the year!

With an encased sleek all metal body design, always on display, a camera that offers a viewing angle that is approximately 1.7 times wider than those of existing smartphone and an innovative modular design that is able to transform the phone into a digital camera, hi-fi player and more. How has LG achieved such an accomplishment of technical wizardry?

The idea behind the LG G5 modular design, was to stand out from the rest of the premium-end smartphones in the industry and build an all-metal device whilst retaining the removable battery. The LG G5 surpasses the visual experience of its predecessor, the LG G4. The modular design of the G5 (the slide-out bottom), is a standout feature and headline grabber. It allows you to slide out the bottom half to replace the battery, add in the LG Cam Plus accessory, 360 degrees VR cameras, Hi – Fi Plus and more.

“LG Mobile has acquired a reputation for being an industry pioneer, offering solid mobile electronic options to consumers across the market spectrum. The G5 introduced a modular design first of its kind in the world with a wide range of companion devices. This innovation delivers fun while providing a new mobile experience far beyond traditional smartphone boundaries. Until this innovation, both were not possible,” says Deon Prinsloo, General Manager for LG Mobile at LG Electronics South Africa.

Additionally, LG has a built a great reputation as one of the leaders in smartphone cameras. The G5 offers its consumers dual cameras, one with a standard 78-degree lens and the other with a 135-degree wide angle lens, the widest available in any smartphone. The 135-degree lens on the LG G5 offers a viewing angle that is approximately 1.7 times wider than those of existing smartphone cameras and 15-degrees wider than the human eye’s field of view. 

The G5 weighs 159 grams and the rear power button and fingerprint scanner is vastly improved over the LG G4 and LG V10. The top of the 5.3 inch QHD display has a cool effect with the glass curves down towards the back. 

The 5.3-inch QHD IPS Quantum display on the LG G5 offers an Always-on feature, the first on an IPS smartphone display. What more can one ask for in a smartphone? The LG G5 is currently available at leading operators nationwide.

13 Ways To Help You #Snap Like A #PRO @LGMobileSA #LGPlayMore

Hi Guys, 

Cartier-Bresson is widely regarded as one of the greatest photographers of all time and once said, “To photograph is to hold one’s breathe, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.” LG's latest flagship, the G5 gives users the opportunity to fully experience the joy of photography. Here are 13 ways to get you snapping like a pro.

1. Accessing the manual mode

One of the best ways to start capturing those significant moments with the LG G5 is by accessing the manual mode. To access the manual mode, you’ll have to tap the 3-dot icon at the top-left of the screen, which brings up the three main modes: Simple, Auto and Manual. The manual mode allows you to control the white balance, focus, exposure, ISO, shutter speed and AE-L. The white balance allows you as the user to alter the colour tone, compensating for unnatural lighting or to create skewed colour effects. The purpose of the ISO is that it determines the sensitivity of the sensor. When choosing darker environments to take pictures, you will need to use a higher setting. The AE-L, locks the exposure, letting you use the light level as a creative effect, making shots either much brighter or darker than the G5 would normally use.

2. How to use manual mode to get noise free shots

All you’ll have to do is set the ISO to 200 (it goes down to ISO 50), then use the shutter speed control to see how slow you need to go for low-noise results. The benefit of using the G5 is that it has optical image stabilisation (OIS), you can make the shutter go fairly slow and still get sharp photos.

3. Shooting RAWs

RAW files are what you get when you take the 'raw' information from a camera sensor, before reducing the noise level and smoothing things out. Using RAWs allows you to do your own processing, often ending up with a finer detailed image. The G5 allows you to shoot RAWs by simply accessing the manual mode and tapping the second icon from the bottom of the screen, over on the left column. This will allow for the shooting of RAW and JPEG files, rather than just JPEGs. RAWs come out as a file known as DNG (Digital NeGative file).

4. Using the second camera as "zoom out"

The G5 has dual cameras (16 MP f1.8 main camera has 78-degree angle view and the 8MP additional camera captures a 135-degree super wide-angle image) to take your digital photograph to the next level. It has a new, unique feature like pop – out photo, capturing more with the zoom out. In the camera app you can switch between lenses via a button, and when using the digital zoom the camera switches seamlessly between the two modules. The autofocus is assisted by a laser that measures the subject distance. 

5. Use the main camera for the best image quality

The 16MP wide angle camera of the LG G5 is the best Android camera on the market giving users a fish-eye effect in every shot. What it means for the users is that the camera allows you to fit much more of the scene into a single photo.

6. Changing photo and video resolution

Should users want to play with different size images for that perfect selfie, they can switch to 4:3 or 1:1 images by tapping on the cog icon at the bottom-left of the screen and selecting the top option in the menu that pops up. As well as changing the shape of photos, they can also alter the video resolution. The G5 normally shoots 1080p video users can level-up to UHD (the exact resolution of '4K video').

7. Video stabilisation 

For that perfect steady shot users can find the option for video stabilization near the bottom of the camera settings menu, which you access by tapping the cog icon. Tapping on this flicks between SteadyShot stabilisation and OIS, if you're using the standard camera lens in Auto mode. The former is what most phones use, a digital enhancer that uses the edges of the frame as a buffer to smooth-out any movements. This leaves you with a slightly more 'zoomed-in' view than you get when taking photos. That's one reason why you might use OIS instead, which uses the little camera stabilisation motor to keep your footage smooth.

8. Simple mode is great for simple photography

Simple mode is found by tapping the 3-dot icon at the top-left of the camera app. Simple mode takes away almost all custom features you get with the other options. All you do is tap on the object on which you want to focus and the LG G5 camera app both focuses and takes a shot as quickly as possible.

9. Shortcut key for instant photos

In the main phone Settings menu, go to the General tab and then select Shortcut key. In here you'll see a flick switch for Quick Shot. Make sure it's switched on. This lets you press the volume down button twice quickly when the phone is off to fire-up the camera and take a photo.

10. Timelapse + wide-angle camera = cool movies

The G5 has several 'creative' modes in its camera app and Time Lapse is one of the more interesting ones. This shoots video, but at 1/15 the normal speed. That means it takes two frames a second rather than the usual 30. Use this with the wide-angle camera and you'll get footage that resembles some of the stuff GoPros are used for in action sport footage.

11. Use the grid display for landscape photography

The G5 has a grid option to stop those uneven photos and help you align or center pictures properly. What it means for the user is that you get another reference point of where to line-up the horizon, as well as helping you work out what you want the focus of the picture/image/photo to be. You'll find Grid at the very bottom of the camera app Settings menu, accessed by tapping on the cog icon.

12. Use 30sec exposure to make something special

The G5 can keep its shutter open for up to 30 seconds. What it means for the user is that it merges all the light information from that half-minute stint into a single image. What one can do while using the 30sec long-exposure photography is shoot a road where car lights turn into streaming neon lines, and create noise-free night shots that almost look like daylight photos.

13. 360 Cam

The G5 is the only Android smartphone on the market that comes with a series of module accessories (Friends) that fit onto its bottom and one in particular where users have been raving about is the 360 Cam. The LG 360 CAM provides 2K video and 5.1 surround channel recording on three microphones to help users effortlessly create high-quality 360-degree contents. Having secured a partnership with Google, images taken with the 360 CAM can be uploaded to Google Street View and YouTube360, adding the fun of sharing creative content with others.

5 reasons Why We #Love The #LGG5 @LGMobileSA @LGSouthAfrica #LGPlayMore

Hi Guys,

During the past few years LG has consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible with mobile technology. Whether its display technology, imaging or design, the company has always taken things one step further than its competitors and attempted to do “firsts” with its flagship releases. The latest release LG G5 Android has been a radical change in terms of what is expected from a smartphone. It boasts all the latest and greatest features, a metal sleek and stylish design, dual camera capabilities, and a removable and replaceable battery with expandable storage. With its innovative accessories, the G5 is undoubtedly everything that consumers want and need to enhance their mobile experience. Here are five reason why we love the LG G5.

LG G5 Display

The LG G5 has a 5.3 Quantum HD display technology, and it looks pretty amazing. It has a 2560 x 1440 Quad HD resolution, pixel density of 554ppi, constructed from magnesium and finished with a gorgeous matte finish. It is a compact device with an easy grip and sits perfectly where most users rest their index finger while holding it. The amazing double tap option is ideal for waking and sleeping the screen, which remains one of the favourite features on an Android smartphone. Another great innovation from the G5 is the “always on display” feature. It allows you to check the time, date, and see if you have any notifications without ever touching your phone.

Fingerprint Scanner

Implementation, feel, reliability, software and security all factor into making a good fingerprint scanner on a smartphone. LG abandoned the rear buttons from prior flagships in favour of a fingerprint scanner around the back. The volume buttons are back to the side, on the left, and the power button sits nicely under the camera. One tap and it wakes the phone and unlocks it in seconds. The G5 also has a fingerprint sensor on top of its power button, situated on the back of the phone. It’s a state-of-the-art fingerprint sensor that can read your finger quite quickly, without the need to press a button.

Diverse Range of Companion Devices 

With the G5, LG introduced a paradigm-shifting smartphone ecosystem — the LG Playground. With this, LG aims to strengthen the ties with its partners and introduce various devices and supporting programs to fully maximize the LG Playground. As part of the ecosystem, LG is introducing a wide range of companion devices, aptly called LG Friends, to deliver fun while providing a new mobile experience far beyond traditional smartphone boundaries. 

Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Processor 

The LG G5 is equipped with a powerful yet energy-efficient Snapdragon 820 processor which offers advanced features such as 64-bit performance, Adreno 530 graphics and lower-power Qualcomm® HexagonTM DSP as well as Qualcomm Spectra™ 14-bit dual image signal processors (ISPs). This advanced feature is designed to deliver high resolution DSLR-quality images and additional power saving.

Battery Power

The G5 is designed to deliver new and differentiated user experience through its innovative Modular Type design which offers the benefit of both premium metal uni-body design and a removable battery as an option. The bottom of the phone can be released to get a fresh battery inside, allowing you to extend battery life without ever connecting to a charger. Modularity has been the subject of many talks for a number of years but no brand was able to consumerise the concept until now and LG is happy to take on the mantle.

I am missing the LG G5 I had for review using which I took some of the photographs to win Instagram contest at Mall of Africa. I have not reviewed any of the LG Companion devices but would love to do so.

Product Review - LG G5 @LGMobileSA #LGG5PlayMore #Smartphone

Hi Guys, 

It's been a while that I fell in love with the camera on a smartphone device, last time I remember I really liked HTC One M9, Samsung S6 and LG G4 cameras but with the launch of latest LG G5 the capabilities of smartphones have increase multifold. The best part of LG G5 is it's amazing modular body which gives you power to create your phone as you like. You can have multiple batteries available, can listen to high fidelity Bang and Olufsen amplified music and have a full fledged point and shoot camera accessory. All these things are called the LG G5 Friends as they enhance and support the phone through thick and thin.

“I began to realize that the camera sees the world differently than the human eye and that sometimes those differences can make a photograph more powerful than what you actually observed", As rightly pointed out by the Galen Rowell, LG G5 dual rear cameras really takes your photographs to a new level. I had the opportunity to click several amazing pictures throughout my two three weeks of review device. Check out some of the photographs I took using the camera on instagram with #LGG5PlayMore.

LG’s new flagship, the G5, is equipped with two rear-facing cameras, one with a traditional lens (16MP, f1.8) and another with a wide-angle (8MP), 135-degree version. The latter is approximately 1.7 times wider than those of existing smartphone cameras lens, allowing users to capture more subject matter in a single photo. This is why the G5's second lens' near-fisheye field of view has proven so essential, given how carefully it has been integrated with the main camera. Now your landscapes photographs will be awesome. I am really going to miss the LG G5 when I will go to Drakensberg and other parts of very soon. The LG G5 features a collection of powerful photo effects including Pop-out Picture, Film Effect and Auto Shot. 

The software to control the dual camera is upgraded version from LG G4 and one can easily switch between the two in the camera app. I really loved that without moving your feet, you can take photographs of the whole large group as well as portraits of small number of people. The phone also allows to take RAW images and gives you total control of the camera in manual mode. Also the SD card can take 2TB of card so as you carry on clicking your photographs. I checked the file size in JPEG format is nearly 6MB per photograph and reaches 10MB per snap while shooting in RAW format. 

I really loved the display of LG G5 and games like MMX Racing looked wonderful on the phone as well as text documents. The phone is fast to process different games and apps and never got warm when I played the games or took a lot of photographs. The only time it got warm was during the fast charging and that too only little warm. I have always used the top of the end smartphone for my personal use and HTC One phones I use have the best of displays. G5 has 5.3in Quad HD IPS display producing 554ppi giving superb visual quality.

Mall of Africa, Johannesburg using LG G5

The removable battery on G5 is 2800mAh which comes with fast charger unit and can be fully charged in around 80-90 minutes when plugged in electrical power source. It easily gave me more than a full day usage when I played MMX Racing (10 tickets) multiple times each day. LG G5 comes with marshmallow Android Operating System enabling you to stay on the top of the latest technology. The processing speed is awesome with it's Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with 4GB of RAM.

The build quality of G5 is really great and comes with the latest USB Type C charging port where the cable can be used both ways just like lightening cable used in Apple devices. Though it's a new addition but I really felt helpless as I could not attach my old OTG Android drive to post photographs on Instagram. The only solution was then to use the built in memory of the device or the external Micro-SD card that can be inserted along with the nano-SIM slot on the right hand side of the phone.

The other side of the phone has a small button to use the modularity of the phone. The battery can then be taken out revealing a seamless body with which anyone will fall in love. The only problem I faced was the resetting of setting like time/location etc when taking the battery out of the smartphone without any active nano-SIM. I also felt that the body doesn't attach as seamless as we want it to be once you have taken the battery out. Maybe I was using a demo unit which must have been used several times on display so that mismatch has developed but as this feature is still new, it will take time to be precised. 

The back volume buttons as you must have seen in LG G4 has been moved to the sides and now sits on the left hand side in LG G5. The speaker slots are on the bottom of the phone along with the new Type-C charger. The headphone jack is on the top side along with infrared sensor. I felt speaker slots gets covered by my hands while playing the games in a certain fashion and you had to revolve the smartphone by 180 degrees. 

LG Health

Manual Mode Camera Settings

Going with the punchline of the product - "Life's Good When You Play More" the LG G5 allows you to definitely do more at the same time. The package contains the fast charger and Type-C USB cable in the demo unit. I really want the phone back as the same felt the right size in my hands and is lightweight with metal alloy body which is non-slippery. There is so much to talk about this phone about which I have already posted on my blog. This is one phone which you can use daily without any problems faced and TheLife'sWay would definitely want to use it as day-to-day usage smartphone if sponsored by LG South Africa.
