What is wrong with Smartphones?

Smartphones were meant to be your pocket computer which could also make phone calls. And at first, it seemed as if that phones were truly becoming your pocket computer.

However, in recent times, smartphones are losing their usability. These phones were supposed to be tools for you to get work done. That no longer is the case in recent times. Flagship smartphones nowadays tend to basic features which made them so smart.

Flagship smartphones today tend to lack the most basic port! A headphone jack! Phone manufacturers no longer add useful features to the product but tend to bloat them with useless design flaws. Take the iPhone x, for example, it has a horrible notch at the top. The sole purpose of this notch is to differentiate the phone from the competition. It adds no improvement in functionality to the phone. All it does is worsen your media consumption experience.

Furthermore, Operating systems for these devices are getting bloated and resource hungry day by day. We need octa and deca core processors and 4 to 8GB of ram on a phone! Battery life is getting shorter and displays are getting bigger!

Take all screen phones! These phones instead of reducing the size of the phone, make them even bigger with large and power-hungry displays.
For me, 5-5.2 inch is all you need in a phone and manufacturers seem to continue to increase the display size to more than 6inches! This results in large devices and makes it unusable in one hand!

Phones will be a lot better if they had a reasonable display size and front-facing speakers, instead of those. The list of compromises is ever increasing and will some raise a question on whether to use one or not!

Birds of Prey: Feminism done right

While the world is at a standstill due to the Novel CoronaVirus, I finally got time to return to watching movies and series. The first movie I saw? Birds of Prey and how I regret missing out on this in the cinemas. The movie is great! It is a self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking joy ride. It paints a new picture of Gotham city from the perspective of Harley Quinn and I love this vibrant new Gotham! The movie kicks off with our protagonist Harley, who has recently broken up with the Joker. She is trying to get by all alone and prove herself to the world. The plot of the movie revolves around Bertinelli's fortune, the key to which is in a diamond. Roman Stonis aka The Black Mask is behind the killing of the Bertinelli's’ and now wants their fortune. He hires Harley to recover the diamond and viola! We have ourselves a popcorn crunching, the edge of your seat, jaw-dropping female-led action movie! All the characters were spot on, be it Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn or my second fa...

Spiderman: Homerun

The third reboot of the Spiderman franchise is old news. So is the fact that it was a huge success, but I only got to watch it tonight, Now that I am done watching it, I am going to talk about it. Spiderman homecoming is a good movie. It has a simple story, stellar cast and a director who knows what he is doing. At its core, Spiderman homecoming is a simple coming of age teen flick. And that is what makes Homecoming so good! The movie has very little faults, so let’s get them out of the way first. It lacked action and the soundtrack was average. Done these are my gripes with the movie. Now let’s talk about the good stuff. The movie really fleshes out the characters . Supporting characters like Ned get a lot more screen time then they did on Spiderman’s last outing. Tom Holland is perfectly cast as the web-slinger and for me, he rivals Toby for the best Actor to portray Spidey! For the first time, Spiderman is an actual teen! He has school to deal with and his aunt is not hi...
