Heineken The Lager Company, Just Launched A Telephone

What happens when Human Mobile phones (HMD), Heineken brew, and a Boston-based streetwear brand named Bodega meet over some Lithium lager and examine mankind's undesirable computerized fixation? They make a telephone. What's more, they choose to consider it the "Boring Phone."

 

Is this simply one more endeavor to benefit from the most recent moronic telephone trend that even had The New Yorker spilling digital ink over it? Indeed. Is it the most dazzling retro-present day thingamabob to emerge after the Pocket Analogue, and will it make any geek waste their time? Additionally yes.

 

It's likewise transparent. Recollect the Nothing phone? This is The Exhausting phone, sans any great Drove light strips. Yet, there is such a lot of happening here. Right under the cover screen of this sublime Nokia-wannabe flip telephone, you can see a green motherboard. That variety plot mixes impeccably with the green backdrop illumination of the screens, the one outside and the bigger one inside. I won't call it Heineken green, however much I might want to name-drop The Framework here, since that is what the green T9 keyboard screams.

 

No features, just swag

What's the motivation behind this phone? "Heineken and Bodega present a telephone made to return you to when cell phones weren't a thing," says Heineken. It believes you should speak with companions utilizing SMS as opposed to losing it over the green-blue air pocket inclination; no virtual entertainment, no warning torrential slide applications.

 

The Boring phone believes that you should delight in the monochrome delight of Fast Snake as opposed to shouting into the mic while playing Call of Duty with appallingly empty colleagues. It additionally trusts you will click brilliantly pixelated images of good minutes with companions as opposed to fixate on things like openness, life-like colors, and so on.

 

The Boring Telephone can likewise endure a couple of drops without breaking with a costly crash like the cutting edge iPhones. There are a few perfect elements like speed dialing (which I neglected was even a thing once), design customization with 3D stickers, and the fulfillment of disengaging calls with a snap.

 

The phone was exhibited at Milan Design Week, yet it appears there is no retail cost for this one. Priceless, eh? "Devices will be offered to revelers all over the planet, so they can separate, recover quality time with companions, family and friends and family, and dial up their evenings out," says the company.

 

The entire thought behind the telephone is to communicate something specific such as the reality of past  smartphones. Now and then, less advanced commitment implies more taste of the real world. Furthermore, what is the preferred method for achieving that over a phone that does only the absolute minimum? That is the Boring Phone.

We couldn't care less about the specs here, and neither should the fortunate rare sorts of people who score this phone.

7 Things You Didn’t Know Your Smartphone Could Do

In today’s world, the smartphone is an essential part of our lives.

They act as our business agents, tools, and our regular friends.

But have you fully harnessed the power embedded in this handy tool?

What if your smartphone can be your lifesaver in times of trouble?

At the end of the post, you’ll know some hidden special capabilities of your smartphone that you’d wish you had known earlier.

1. Smartphone As Remote Control

We’ve all been there…when it’s time to watch your favorite movie, program, or football match and suddenly the remote went missing.

You are frustrated and you feel like kicking out your TV…but wait, there’s a way to fix it – don’t kick your TV.

With your smartphone, you can control gadgets like your TV, DVD, AC, Projector, and more.

Smartphones – such as Samsung – often come with a custom remote feature that you can access in the tools or system folder.

And if you don’t have a custom feature on your phone that can do that…don’t panic!

There’s yet another way out – download the third-party remote app from the Google Play Store.

Just type “remote control apps” and you will find loads of them.

2. Cast Multimedia to a Larger Screen

Sometimes you’d wish you had a bigger screen to watch the movies on your phone but you’re limited.

The limitation isn’t because the phone can’t do it, it’s because you’re unaware that your phone is equipped with that feature.

In case you don’t know, your smartphone can cast a video, picture, or even a game from your phone to your TV or external monitor at home.

To do this, you don’t need to crack your brain, just get a USB cord.

Other ways you can do this include using HDMI cables, through Chrome cast media devices, or even going wireless.

3. Create Customized Vibration

If you don’t want your smartphone to interrupt you in the middle of a movie or when you’re in serious business with your spouse (you know what that means, yo!), you can create customized vibration that helps you know whether a call is urgent or not.

To activate this function, hop on to your ringtone setting on your phone, then you’ll see a custom vibration icon beneath the vibration option.

4. Diagnose Your Car

No longer do you have to wait for the technician before you understand what’s wrong with your car.

With your smartphone, you can identify where the fault is.

Download the Automatic Pro app for your phone and you’ll see an adapter that allows you to plug into your car’s ODB II port close to the base of the steering column.

When the plug is in, the smartphone identifies your current location, diagnoses the route, and even reaches out to your family and loved ones when an unfortunate situation arises.

5. Check Battery Level on Your Remote

This is tricky, but it’s a good way to save yourself from unnecessary stress and focus on what’s next.

Sometimes, you suddenly realize your remote is not working and you’re almost frustrated and agitating.

Don’t worry, those days are over.

Point the remote to your phone’s front camera, if it blinks the infrared light, it’s working.

If not, your battery needs replacement.

6. Power on Your Lights

Do you know that some bulbs are WI-Fi enabled?

Don’t open your mouth in surprise, technology is advancing and some of the bulbs we use at home today are WI-Fi enabled.

Download the Amazon Alexa app from the Google Play Store to power your lights with your smartphone.

7. Monitor Heart Rate

Last, here, your phone can save tons of time that you'd rather use to call your doctor.

You can check your heart rate with an app called Instant Heart Rate by Azumio.

Once you download the app, you can use your phone’s camera to measure your pulse and find out about your heart rate.
