</script> <h2>Insta360 Nano S 360-Degree Camera : Detailed Hands-on Review and Features</h2><h3>Retail Box and Unboxing</h3> 
Insta360 Nano S comes in a beautiful white premium looking retail box. On the retail box, you will find some information regarding the camera inside and its highlighted features, content inside the box, the list of Apple devices compatible with it and also the MFA (Made for Apple) certification logo. 
 
Inside the retail box you will find the Insta360 Nano S camera, user manuals, a pouch for carrying the camera, USB cable to charge the camera, and a smartphone stand. Just like the retail box of Insta360 Nano, it also comes with lenses in-built. So the box can be converted into a virtual reality viewer to watch all the images and videos you have captured on your Insta360 Nano S just by sliding the smartphone in the given slot. 
 
<h3>Design</h3> 
Just like the Insta360 Nano, the Insta360 Nano S is also designed to be connected to an iPhone to convert the phone into a 360-degree camera. 
 
The design of Insta360 Nano S 360-degree camera is nice and it is very identical to the Insta360 Nano. Once connected with an iPhone, it is easy to notice that it is designed in a way to compliment the design and shape of iPhone. 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2018/10/insta360-nano-s-360-degree-camera-review.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Insta360 Nano S 360-Degree Camera : Detailed Hands-on Review and Features" border="0" data-original-height="520" data-original-width="520" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C_lvGC0_XOc/W8l-iAY4j1I/AAAAAAAANPc/UFbJRXiFDR8DAad9Fkq76Db1n5HYiMvoACLcBGAs/s1600/insta360-nano-s-360-degree-camera-review.jpg" title="Insta360 Nano S 360-Degree Camera : Detailed Hands-on Review and Features" /></a></div> 
The body is made of Aluminum that makes it lightweight and durable, both. Insta360 Nano is just 21mm thick and weighs only 66 grams. So it is easy to hold in hand and use it for long. 
 
The front of the device is having one of the lens along with the single multi-functional button on which the Insta360 logo is printed and the brand name in the middle. On the back, there is the second lens at the top and the bottom half part is removed to hold the device and to connect the camera with iPhone using the lightning connector provided. 
 
At the bottom of the Insta360 Nano S, there is a microSD card slot that supports up to 128GB of memory card that is also an improvement over the Nano that can support only 64GB of memory card.. There is no internal storage in the camera, so you will have to use a memory card in it if you are using the camera without iPhone. 
 
You will also find at the bottom a USB port to charge the device and for transfer between computer and camera. The battery is built-in and non-removable. There is also a tiny hole provided for resetting the phone if it gets stuck or you face any software issues with it. 
 
<script data-height="400px" data-kuula="https://kuula.co/share/7PSh3?fs=1&vr=0&thumbs=1&chromeless=0&logo=0" data-width="100%" src="https://static.kuula.io/embed.js"></script> 
 
One drawback of the design of Insta360 Nano S is that you will have to remove any case you are using on your iPhone to connect it to the Nano properly but this flaw is justified as it provide a perfect fit and firm grip of the camera to the smartphone. 
 
Overall the design of Insta360 Nano S is nice and impressive. It is lightweight, durable, looks beautiful and premium with smooth edges and feels good in hand too while holding it. While using the Nano S without iPhone, it is easy to hold and provide good grip. It fits perfectly on iPhone and matches with the design of iPhone enhancing the beauty of the device. 
 
<h3>Camera and Imaging</h3> 
You can use Insta360 Nano S in two ways – either with the iPhone or as a standalone 360-degree camera using the physical button that can be used to capture images, regular and time lapse videos and even set up the timer. 
 
Insta360 Nano S comes with dual f/2.2 fish eye lens. The output of these two lenses stitch and overlap together to create the 20 MP resolution 360-degree image. Insta360 Nano is capable of recording 3840 x 1920 pixels @30fps videos. So you will get the 360-degree videos in better than 1080p full HD resolution and quality. 
 
<script data-height="400px" data-kuula="https://kuula.co/share/7PShz?fs=1&vr=0&thumbs=1&chromeless=0&logo=0" data-width="100%" src="https://static.kuula.io/embed.js"></script> 
 
The stitching of the images and videos is automatic and instantaneous. So it let user live stream the content without any time delay that usually happens due to processing of the files and this is one of the most highlighted feature of Insta360 Nano S. But the most unique feature of Nano S is the 360-degree video calling that is not available on any 360-degree cameras including the Insta360 models. 
 
The images captured by Insta360 Nano are nice in quality with good amount of details. In daylight and good amount of artificial light indoor, pics come out great with good amount of details. In low-light condition, if the light is very low images come with some noise but with sufficient amount of artificial light, image comes out great. You can have a look on few samples in different lighting conditions below. 
 
<script data-height="400px" data-kuula="https://kuula.co/share/7PShg?fs=1&vr=0&thumbs=1&chromeless=0&logo=0" data-width="100%" src="https://static.kuula.io/embed.js"></script> 
 
<script data-height="400px" data-kuula="https://kuula.co/share/7PShs?fs=1&vr=0&thumbs=1&chromeless=0&logo=0" data-width="100%" src="https://static.kuula.io/embed.js"></script> 
 
<script data-height="400px" data-kuula="https://kuula.co/share/7PShw?fs=1&vr=0&thumbs=1&chromeless=0&logo=0" data-width="100%" src="https://static.kuula.io/embed.js"></script> 
 
The video recording output of Insta360 Nano S is nice in quality and with good amount of details. In both daylight and low-light, the video output is nice. It also comes with the time-lapse mode that can be used with or without the smartphone as well. 
 
One thing you need to know here is that Insta360 Nano S captures the images and videos in its own proprietary format and to share them with other you will have to either use the Insta360 Nano S iPhone app to upload the content on social media or export them to your computer or iPhone using the Insta360 Studio software or Insta360 Nano iPhone S app first. If you just want to watch the images and videos captured then you can use the Insta360 Player app. 
 
But you can also capture images in the RAW format and videos in LOG format to edit them later in the professional level editing softwares. 
 
<h3>Smartphone App and Social Features</h3> 
There is a dedicated iPhone app for Insta360 Nano S and it is one of the most important part of the camera as you need it to use all of the camera features. The app prompts on the screen once you connect the camera to iPhone. Once Insta360 Nano is connected with iPhone, the app will be launched itself in inverted view for better handling of the content and controlling the app on the device. 
 
The app works as live viewfinder for the camera while capturing the image and video. It also let users watch the captured videos and images on the iPhone. But the most important feature of it is to live stream 360-degree videos on social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc. and to make 360-degrees video calls.

Insta360 One X is targeted at action-oriented consumers and it is capable of recording 5.7K resolution videos in 360-degrees with impressive FlowState stabilization and 18MP still images in 360-degrees and in HDR. 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2018/10/insta360-one-x-360-degree-action-camera-specs-features-price.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Insta360 One X : Full Hardware Specs, Features, Prices and Availability" border="0" data-original-height="593" data-original-width="283" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e4CnPwRuqbo/W75i7y-jXOI/AAAAAAAANOU/UXg5Qo4VwbExQXNz6HM4YTM19MsHPJ1YACLcBGAs/s1600/insta360-one-x-specs-features-price.jpg" title="Insta360 One X : Full Hardware Specs, Features, Prices and Availability" /></a></div> 
But the most impressive feature of the Insta360 One X are the Drift Shot and TimeShift mode. Drift Shot captures an action from multiple angles to create an amazing view. 
 
TimeShift mode creates amazing Cinematic Slow Motion effects in the captured video that creates beautiful effects, first time in a consumer level camera. It manipulates time and frame in the video to create a perspective that earlier was possible only with couple of cameras and pro-level video editing. 
 
Insta360 One X provides an unlimited field of view and gimbal-level stabilization. It also comes with high-FPS shooting modes. Insta360 One X can record 360-degree videos at 5.7K at 30 FPS, 4K resolution videos at 50 FPS and 3K videos at 100 FPS to provide great amount of details and super-smooth video allowing user to slow down videos to highlight the perfect action.

The 18 MP photos captured on Insta360 One X also show great amount of detail and low-light imaging capability due to large pixels. 
 
The One X app is available for both Android and iOS and lots of options to users like to reframe the best parts of the shot, and later connect them with ultra-smooth camera movements, to add your favorite music and effects to create a perfect shareable content for social media. 
 
Insta360 One X also supports the Invisible Selfie Stick feature that we have seen earlier on Insta360 One. It removes the selfie stick completely from a shot giving an impression that the camera is suspended in the air. Based on this, the Bullet Time feature also works on it perfectly.

The History and Evolution of Google Smartphone from Nexus to Pixel Devices (Infographic)

With Google shiny new<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2018/10/google-pixel-3-xl-specs-features-price.html" target="_blank"> Pixel 3 series of smartphones </a>being launched, we felt it would be great to turn back into the pages of history and have a look at the journey of all of Google's smartphone creations. To help you visualize this we have an infographic from HomeTop that beautifully shows us the journey from the first Android phone, the <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/09/google-nexus-s-vs-nexus-prime-features.html" target="_blank">first Nexus phones</a> to the latest Pixel devices. 
 
While the HTC G1 was not a Nexus device it was the first Android phone. So it remains an important point in the history of Android. Armed with a slider keyboard and trackball it was designed for people who wanted to get their jobs done on the move. While it did not have great performance, the single core processor and 192 MB of RAM helped it scoot along nicely. The G1, in fact, did not even have a front facing camera and made do with just a single 3.15 MPx camera. 
 
The first Nexus, in fact, was the <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2010/12/google-nexus-s-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-vs.html" target="_blank">Nexus One</a>. This phone was built by HTC and based on the HTC Desire. It brought along improved specifications in terms of a larger and higher resolution AMOLED display, better camera, faster processor and 512 MB of RAM. Despite not selling very well it was one of the first true challenger to the iPhone. 
 
The Nexus One then began the trend of the Nexus smartphones which had a simple recipe of value hardware and stock <a href="https://hometop.in/best-smartphone-rs-25000-india/" target="_blank">Android</a> experience with regular updates. Over the years Google launched many Nexus smartphones collaborating with many manufacturers like Samsung, LG, Motorola and Huawei. The final two Nexus devices were the <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2014/02/download-nexus-5-google-now-launcher.html" target="_blank">Nexus 5X</a> which was a nod to the popular Nexus 5, and the <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2014/10/google-nexus-6-specs-features.html" target="_blank">Nexus 6P</a> which was a premium offering after which Google shut down the Nexus program to the disappointment of their fans. 
 
Then came the more premium Pixel smartphones which had the same basic recipe as the Nexus phones; great software experience and quick updates. But to that Google added premium build, better hardware experience and class-leading cameras. The Pixels were also split into two versions; a smaller petite sized version and a much larger "XL" variant for people who wanted a larger screen for more creativity. One of the most popular Pixel devices is the Pixel 2 XL, which got a fresh minimalistic design with cool colours and an amazing camera experience that was unparalleled. So good it was in fact that even after a year it remains one of the best cameras on a smartphone. 
 
This brings us to the Pixel 3 series which pushes the envelope further with a much larger display with lesser bezels, improved cameras, more memory and of course faster performance. Are they the best smartphones Google has made? only time will tell but for now, you can check the cool infographic and tell us of your favourite Nexus or Pixel device.

Huawei Mate 20 Leaked Press Image shows Water-drop Notch, Triple Rear LEICA Cam, In-Display Fingerprint Sensor

Huawei is going to launch the Mate 20 series of smartphones soon and we are receiving lots of leaked images of the device since last few weeks. 
 
And now an official press release image of the Huawei Mate 20 is leaked. It is not the image of Mate 20 Pro as it will have a different design and a bit different hardware too. 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2018/10/huawei-mate-20-leaked-press-image-shows.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Huawei Mate 20" border="0" data-original-height="529" data-original-width="574" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5UWYReDxbp0/W7eKYyixnzI/AAAAAAAANNk/rAlahDNXbRsYp9zxtMFSeELQwT_V8NwIQCLcBGAs/s1600/huawei-mate-20-leaked-press-image.jpg" title="Huawei Mate 20" /></a></div> 
This leaked press image of Huawei Mate 20 confirms the nearly edge-to-edge bezel-less screen with a water drop notch, a front camera without the laser sensor for facial recognition that will be on Mate 20 Pro. 
 
Since there is no fingerprint sensor on the back, in-display fingerprint sensor is confirmed as well. 
 
The tri-rear camera module that was leaked earlier is also confirmed now. Huawei Mate 20 will come with theKirin 980 octa-core SoC which Huawei introduced at the IFA. 
 
Once the device is launched on 16th October, we will find about all the hardware specs of Huawei Mate 20 series devices officially.

Apple and Amazon Deny the Hacking of their Servers by Chinese Chips

<div class="tr_bq">Bloomberg recently published a report claiming that more than 30 US companies, including Apple and Amazon, are hacked from a Chinese chip that was placed in their servers by the Chinese maker of the servers.</div> 
Bloomberg also claimed that these major companies found this threat by themselves and reported to US government about it that a chip equal to the size of grain of rice was placed in their server. 
 
And now Apple and Amazon are out with their official statement regarding this by totally denying the incident at all. 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2018/10/apple-amazon-server-hack.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Apple and Amazon Deny the Hacking of their Servers by Chinese Chips" border="0" data-original-height="280" data-original-width="500" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ELsyov6mM5A/W7dNHDei0II/AAAAAAAANNM/xTOv8RaZQmMBIv6869vZEpLb8Cycgy6zgCLcBGAs/s1600/apple-amazon-server-hack.jpg" title="Apple and Amazon Deny the Hacking of their Servers by Chinese Chips" /></a></div> 
Steve Schmidt, Chief Information Security Officer of Amazon said: 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">As we shared with Bloomberg Business Week multiple times over the last couple of months, this is untrue. At no time, past or present, have we ever found any issues relating to modified hardware or malicious chips in Super Micro motherboards in any Elemental or Amazon systems. Nor have we engaged in an investigation with the government. There are so many inaccuracies in ‎this article as it relates to Amazon that they’re hard to count. 
Security will always be our top priority. AWS is trusted by many of the world’s most risk-sensitive organizations precisely because we have demonstrated this unwavering commitment to putting their security above all else. We are constantly vigilant about potential threats to our customers, and we take swift and decisive action to address them whenever they are identified.</blockquote> 
Apple also made a statement on the report and said: 
 
<blockquote>Over the course of the past year, Bloomberg has contacted us multiple times with claims, sometimes vague and sometimes elaborate, of an alleged security incident at Apple. Each time, we have conducted rigorous internal investigations based on their inquiries and each time we have found absolutely no evidence to support any of them. We have repeatedly and consistently offered factual responses, on the record, refuting virtually every aspect of Bloomberg’s story relating to Apple. </blockquote><blockquote>On this we can be very clear: Apple has never found malicious chips, “hardware manipulations” or vulnerabilities purposely planted in any server. Apple never had any contact with the FBI or any other agency about such an incident. We are not aware of any investigation by the FBI, nor are our contacts in law enforcement.</blockquote>

HOW TO: Capture Better Photos Using a Smartphone Camera

Over the years the <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2018/09/history-evolution-of-smartphone-photography.html" target="_blank">cameras on smartphones</a> have steadily improved, and nowadays they are actually quite good. That being said it can still be challenging to capture photos that look great with a smartphone. 
 
If you’d like to start to capture better photos using your smartphone, there are a few things that you should do as mentioned below. 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2018/09/smartphone-photography-tips.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Top 5 Smartphone Photography Tips" border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="596" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mO94_FhjNkQ/W6-gB-0jCHI/AAAAAAAANMQ/ahoeB5HKHLYH6MUIiUfGJdrcY7nSURLJQCLcBGAs/s1600/smartphone-photography-tips.jpg" title="Top 5 Smartphone Photography Tips" /></a></div><h2>HOW TO: Capture Better Photos Using a Smartphone Camera</h2> 
<h3>Make Sure there’s Lots of Light</h3> 
The sensor on smartphone cameras is typically smaller than your average digital camera or DSLR – so it captures less light. That is why smartphones are notoriously bad in low-light conditions, and the photos they snap will <a href="https://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/iso-and-noise-explained-for-photographers/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">look grainy</a> if there isn’t enough light. Now some flagship smartphones like <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2018/07/huawei-p20-pro-review-features-specs.html" target="_blank">Huawei P20 Pro</a> are great for low-light photography but still come with some restriction. 
 
Considering that, you should always make sure that there is lots of light when you’re capturing photos using your smartphone. Ideally it is best if the light is soft and diffused, and evenly illuminates the subject. 
 
<h3>Turn Off the Flash</h3> 
While this may seem counter-intuitive if you want lots of light, it is actually essential. Although the camera on your smartphone may be quite good, its flash probably isn’t – and more often than not will hurt your photos more than it helps and cause the colors to look bad. 
 
<h3>Lock the Focus Before Snapping a Photo</h3> 
Try to get into the habit of locking the focus before you snap any photo. On most smartphones all it takes is a single tap on the subject to lock the focus – and some smartphones with facial recognition may even do it automatically. 
 
Overall this should help improve the definition of your photos, and avoid any last-minute shifts in the camera focus.

</script> <h3>Hold the Smartphone Steady</h3> 
Honestly you’d be surprised how many smartphone photos look bad because the camera wasn’t kept steady. Ideally you should keep your camera completely still while you snap any photo, but that can be challenging considering how thin and light smartphones are nowadays. 
 
If you’re having difficulty, try gripping your phone with both hands and keep your arms close to your sides for additional support. In some cases you may want to consider using a tripod stand, or finding a stable surface to prop your phone on. 
 
<h3>Don’t Use the (Digital) Zoom</h3> 
Although some smartphones have started to include dual and even triple cameras with optical zoom, most still rely solely on <a href="https://www.dummies.com/photography/digital-photography/the-difference-between-optical-zoom-and-digital-zoom-on-your-digital-camera/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">digital zoom</a>. If yours uses a digital zoom it is best to avoid it completely, as all it actually does is enlarge the image while lowering its overall resolution – resulting in a photo that looks worse. 
 
In short you’d be much better off moving physically closer to the subject instead. 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2018/09/smartphone-photography-tips.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Top 5 Smartphone Photography Tips" border="0" data-original-height="317" data-original-width="597" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4Ita7xFI-I/W6-g78f4c4I/AAAAAAAANMY/xPNdiqM72WctiBwgUwwjyPRVJL6mBOSkQCLcBGAs/s1600/smartphone-photography-tips.jpg" title="Top 5 Smartphone Photography Tips" /></a></div> 
While these tips can help, you should still have an editor handy that you can use to tidy up the photos that you snap. For example, you could try <a rel="noskim" href="https://www.movavi.com/photo-editor/">https://www.movavi.com/photo-editor/</a> if you need a place to start. 
 
At the end of the day there’s really no reason why you can’t snap impressive and professional-looking photos using your smartphone camera. All it takes is the right approach, and now that you know what to do you should be all set.
