A plastic build also means you can go without a case as its better protected against scratches and accidental drops, yet POCO bundles a protective case for concerned users. With this handset, Xiaomi has managed to break the norm with what it states as 'Honest pricing' and shake up the entire flagship-oriented industry by offering a most expensive chipset at the cheapest price point ever. So there you have it — one excuse for POCO to justify the lower price for its fans. In fact, the face unlock is so quick that it barely lets you see notifications on the lock screen — probably one feature which we did not like. The animations for the transitions and notification shade, which also has been redesigned extensively to imitate stock Android 9 Pie, makes the F1 feel faster than its peers. For the old-school, the F1 also offers FM Radio, making it one of the few flagships to feature an analogue radio. 

POCO also promises Android Pie before the year ends.The F1 also adorns the notch design from modern flagships.55-inch sensor and 1.However, we got to use the top-end Armoured Edition as our daily driver and we couldn’t resist taking off the case.Out-of-the-box, the F1 feels fast — really fast. There’s also a dual speaker setup, with the earpiece working as the secondary speaker. If speed is all you seek without spending a fortune, the POCO F1 is what you should be twiddling your fingers on during the Xiaomi flash sales. The thinner yet noticeable bezels, the notch and the thick chin contribute to a screen-to-body ratio of 82. POCO has equipped the F1 with a 12MP primary sensor with f/1. Not all may be lucky as the display is the most expensive part on the phone, should you happen to drop it on a rough surface. Add to that a massive 4000mAh battery and a slick OS, and it all starts becoming tempting, especially when you consider the rock-bottom prices. The gaming performance is almost as good, if not better than its flagship rivals that cost 3 times more.Mobile gamers, you will be happy. Xiaomi/POCO — are you reading this out?

CameraWhile the F1 offers flagship class performance in daily usage, it probably compromises a little in the camera department, especially when compared to other premium flagships. The app drawer categorises apps based on its type and even icon colours so as to make finding an app faster — tapping the brain's mental photography to make the best use here.Since bigger batteries require more time to top-up, POCO has gone for Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3. The screen is pretty average in its performance — the dynamic range is on par with phones in the budget segment. It's adequate for the upcoming generation of mobile gaming enthusiasts spending hours on their phones taming virtual battlefields.Sadly, cost-cutting makes POCO keep a fairly thick chin and noticeable bezels on to the top.9 aperture, 1/2. Gorilla Glass 3 is presently the best-known glasses that is both sturdy and scratch resistant.So how is POCO managing to deliver flagship-class specifications for midrange prices? What is the secret trick that Xiaomi’s sub-brand has adopted to threaten OnePlus at its own game? Let’s find out. 

The photos record a lot of details and a rich dynamic range.To tackle the issue, Xiaomi formulated POCO (aka POCOPHONE for the global market) — a new brand that appeals to the performance-seeking younger generation. Do note that we were on the first public build of the OS, which is why we encountered numerous bugs and disproportionate UI elements — hope POCO fixes faster. However, do note that the case doesn't fit snug enough and easily pops out if you exert a firm grip on the sides — we accidentally dropped our unit a few times due to that, but the sturdy plastic build ensured we were left with minor scuffs. MIUI's clever optimisations fused with Android Oreo's system level tweaking ensures an entire day's stamina under moderate usage, including a fair amount of calls, incessant texting, browsing the Internet and social media, light photography sessions, occasional gaming sessions, binge-watching YouTube and streaming music. Add to that dedicated liquid cooling technology and it seems that prayers have been answered for geeks with shallow pockets. Not only specifications, the F1 ensures the lightning fast day-to-day performance that an expensive flagship Phone offers these days. 

 Xiaomi has itself moved on to metal for its entry-level budget smartphones; so why adopt cheap-looking plastic for a phone sitting in the midrange category? Probably keeping weight, heat dissipation and affordability in mind. As for the video quality, the F1 can only shoot at a maximum of 2K at 30fps, with Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) only to assist for stability in 1080p videos. The major issue was the company’s brand image, which was assumed to be starry in the budget categories, but relatively cheaper in the premium segments. However, the tank depletes faster if you are playing heavy titles for a considerably longer amount of time. POCO uses an older Gorilla Glass 3 for protection, which should keep it fairly immune to light scratches and cracks on a daily basis. However, it is true that there's nothing that can presently beat OnePlus' Dash (now known as Fast) charge technology.Since POCO claims to be the ‘Master of Speed,’ they also worked extensively on the software front. The capacitive fingerprint sensor is quick as usual, but what surprises us is the face unlock. The UI is nothing but an MIUI with a new skin adorning an app drawer. Sunlight legibility is decent while viewing angles are good. Only a Xiaomi sub-brand could pull off such a thing. A plastic build is probably one way the company could keep the prices from hurting the consumers’ wallet. Nonetheless, the trendy notch design counts as a necessity for a smartphone seeker in 2018 and POCO has delivered there in a good way.The aim for faster performance also extends to its biometric verification system. Apps open and respond faster while multitasking is a breeze with several resource-intensive social media apps. POCO is meant to carve space for itself in the premium ‘OnePlus-ruled’ segment and help Xiaomi penetrate the segment like it does in the budget categories. Sadly, there is no way to turn this off here and you end up in the home screen immediately after unlocking. The Armoured Edition sports a Kevlar rear panel, which POCO says is pretty resistant to scratches the F1 could accumulate in daily wear and tear. Rating: Xiaomi has always been ruling the budget smartphone categories with its high value-for-money Redmi series. Other fine areas where the POCO cuts down on price are areas such as a missing IR transmitter, and probably a few other internals that we may not entirely know of. If you are even remotely interested in smartphone technologies, then it’s a no-brainer that a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip is the sole solution to high-performance requirements on an Android smartphone. Additionally, we noticed that the YouTube app is unable to offer the ‘Pinch to zoom’ function as of now. If you aren’t amazed yet, POCO has added copious amounts of RAM (6GB/8GB) and storage (64GB/128GB/256GB) to ensure the F1’s beastly intentions.4µm pixels, while the secondary 5MP sensor is used for depth data. On an average, we played PUBG MOBILE for 40 minutes and the F1 barely bothered us with high temperatures, unlike other SD845 phones that become toasty after such a long session.The 20MP front camera also uses pixel binning and other clever AI tricks to snap great looking selfies. As for the iPhone and a few others around, the moment you unlock the phone with your face, you would stay on that screen and be allowed to read the notifications.And if you are worried about the heating, the F1 doesn’t bother much — thanks to the liquid cooling system. Exposure management is also impressive, considering the AI mode tends to saturate the colours by a few notches.PerformanceThis is where the POCO F1 absolutely shines. An Antutu average score of 2,66,905 pits the F1 against the OnePlus 6 and Zenfone 5z with fierce. The dual rear camera setup is vertically and symmetrically aligned at the centre, with the fingerprint scanner sitting just below it — à la OnePlus 6. Compared to the segment-leading OnePlus 6, it definitely feels inferior in terms of appeal.DisplayAs stated, the F1 is equipped with a modern notch display. The AI also works impressively for the software-based portrait mode with bokeh effects and the subtle beauty modes. The F1 makes the Snapdragon 845's benchmark performance accessible to the masses that has been reserved until now for the affluent. But when you factor in the pricing, the F1 makes you wonder whether the extra moolah for the OnePlus 6 or the Zenfone 5z or even full-blown flagships from Samsung is enough to justify them, considering the F1 offers similar performance without hurting the wallet?To sum it up, the POCO F1 can be termed as the Roadrunner of smartphones to date — it revives the actual flagship killer when it comes to pure performance and price.1-inch IPS LCD panel renders pictures at a resolution of 1080 x 2246 pixels. For notch haters, POCO provides an option to hide via software trickery, similar to other ‘notched’ Android phones, with just a single setting switch, but be prepared to face asymmetrical curves on the corners of top and bottom of the screen. However, we wish that POCO could have gone ahead and offered the even faster Quick Charge 4+, which is supported as standard on the SD845.Does it mean the F1 is badly built? We recently saw Xiaomi impressing us all with a very high-quality plastic build on the budget Redmi Y2, which often fools onlookers for a metal build. Maybe POCO could fix it with an update in the future. In typical Xiaomi fashion, the notch is as big as the one on the Apple iPhone X. With the infrared sensors, the F1 can read faces and unlock the phone in a flash even in pitch dark condition, without breaking a sweat. The 6. The phone does bundle a 9V 18W charger within the box for a faster charge.Normal modePortrait ModeBattery:Since the POCO F1 smears performance all over itself, a bigger battery is necessary to keep it going for long. It's a smartphone built for those who value raw computing performance over everything else.0 fast charging standard, which makes the waiting period for the battery to replenish short. And yes, you get MIUI’s brilliantly implemented gesture navigation.The POCO F1 offers beastly performance at a midrange price, but compromises on the flaunt factor like its rivals. In low light, the camera tries its best to prevent noise from creeping up, which results in a slight loss of details and overexposure. It’s the same case with the POCO F1 — it’s built well with a sturdy fit and finish. Yes, you read that right — the POCO F1 is made out of plain old plastic. However, their premium Mi branded offerings could never make a dent in the market share of brands like OnePlus and Samsung — the 2015’s Mi 4, 2016’s Mi 5 and 2017’s Mi MIX 2 never managed to sell as expected.2 per cent.1 Oreo, but with a twist — it’s been tweaked by POCO and wears a new POCO launcher. What’s POCO offering as standard is the Snapdragon 845 — a chipset reserved for use by smartphones above the Rs 30,000 segment. It starts at Rs 20,999 for the base variant with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage and goes up to Rs 29,999 for the high-end model with a Kevlar rear panel. Nonetheless, with a few tweaks here and there, the camera should churn decent looking photos in various lighting conditions. The first device needed to be affordable enough to catch attention while appealing to the young urban crowd who want to relate to an ambitious brand philosophy. The POCO F1 is currently the only SD845 phone in India to feature the largest of them all — a luscious 4000mAh battery. The F1 makes the Snapdragon 845's benchmark performance accessible to the masses that has been reserved until now for the affluent.In daylight, the POCO F1 takes good-looking photos, with vibrant colours and contrasts. POCO also offers pixel binning, which fuses multiple pixels to form one large pixel for gathering more light, along with its AI features to help the optics. If that doesn’t satisfy your alter ego while justifying to your ‘OnePlus-friends,’ POCO says that most users will eventually put a case on the body, which eventually defies the point of building phones out of glass or metal.The answer to this is obvious — cost cutting. However, in our usage, we found that the second speaker is barely audible outdoors while the primary speaker does a great job with an impressive audio quality. However, there’s a very good reason behind it — apart from the earpiece and the front camera, it also houses the Infrared sensor-based facial recognition system (more in detail later). The use of plastic also means weight is kept under check. It offers the flagship SD845 chipset with liquid cooling technology featured on phones that cost upwards of Rs 50K+. The F1 is a great medium to kill opponents in the virtual battlefields of PUBG MOBILE or scoring the highest drift points in Asphalt 9: Legends.5mm headphone jack — features that pleasure an enthusiast. We have yet to encounter any other smartphone/camera do this with such least effort. Therefore, the F1 — POCO’s first offering — aims to hit hard the sweet spot between affordability and glamorous performance. Despite that, the phone never lagged and always felt ready for more.Aesthetics, BuildIn an age where manufacturers are basking their premium phones in fragile glass panels, POCO has boldly gone for a polycarbonate build. The SD845 powers the likes of OnePlus 6, ASUS Zenfone 5z, Vivo NEX, OPPO Find X and competes with Samsung’s flagship Exynos 9810 chipset on the Galaxy S9 and Note 9. The carbon fibre on the rear panel also makes it one of the coolest looking phones for an even cooler price tag. With fewer calls, occasional Internet browsing and being connected to Wi-Fi networks for a major part of the day, we even managed to achieve a whopping stamina of 1 day-10 hours-2 minutes, with around 30 per cent to spare

Mr Rathod added that the police was also verifying with the Mumbai University if charges of negligence could be added against them or not.The Bhandup police is on the lookout for two more clerks working in the Mumbai University who were allegedly involved in the engineering exam answer sheet scam that was unearthed last week. Letters sent to varsity seeking details of students, they will be summoned. "Our probe indicates that answer sheets were removed for manipulation in more than three subjects in the engineering course of the university,” said Mr Rathod. "We have asked the university and the college officials concerned to give the details of the students, the number of students who have given the exams this past year, how many mark sheets are currently missing from the examination house of the Kalina campus and from where the exam papers were leaked,” said DCP Vinaykumar Rathod. Soon they will be summoned to the police station, the officials said. The papers were taken out of the examination hall before they were scanned.Meanwhile, the police has found five more answer sheets during their investigation on Tuesday taking the total number of answer sheets seized to 97. 

They were getting only Rs 6,000 as salary per month and this was a way to earn more money. According to the police, the two clerks who were working in the engineering department at the Kalina campus wholesale PVC sheets on a contract basis had fled on May 20 after the police started arresting people involved in the scam.” Police investigations have revealed that security guard Prabhakar Vaze (50) and seven others collected the related answer sheets from these two wanted accused before passing them on to the students for a fee anywhere between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000 each.

One of the options is to crush the banned plastic in a crusher. However, a decision needs to be taken on what should be done of resultant plastic granules from this process. This was followed by Tardeo (D ward) 20 MT and Marine Lines (C ward) 16 MT. According to civic data, the 137 metric tonnes of banned plastic was recovered from all the 24 wards of the city. There are only four registered plastic recycling plants in the state. However, for this the plastic needs to be segregated properly. On this backdrop, we need to take a decision, which should be financially viable for the BMC, he added.. The highest amount of plastic was collected from Bandra (H/W ward) with 30 MT. The civic body has collected 137 metric tonnes of banned plastic from collection bins and dry waste collection centres in two months between April 1 and May 31. According to civic officials, the banned plastic should either be disposed or recycled, but the options should be financially viable for the civic body. Of them, one has closed down whereas three have asked for direct delivery to their plants. MUMBAI: Officials of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) find themselves in a quandary over the plastic collected all across the city. The least was collected from Mankhurd and Govandi (M/E ward). Since the state government enforced the plastic ban on March 23, the BMC had decided to install plastic collection bins at major public places in the city. The BMC is also planning to sell the banned plastic to registered plastic recycling agencies

The actor posted a video where he can be seen offering water to a monkey, whom he calls his 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', in a plastic bottle.Madhuri, who looked beautiful in a glittery maroon dress paired with a cape, urged people to "take responsibility" and do something small for the environment, whether it be saving water or not using plastic. "

Since I have kids, I will say that to every parent that we should think about what kind of planet we are going to leave for our kids and their kids after that.. It's up to each of us to make sure we stop using 'single-use plastic'. And I think we have to be responsible. Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Katrina Kaif at IIFA Press Conference.

Katrina, who also had her own little solution and opinion about the issue in hand, was all praise # for PM Modi's initiative calling it "incredible" and urged everyone to support the campaign. He also spoke about the initiative during the Independence Day address, urging people to join the movement. "Don't drink out of plastic bottles, try to carry some other container to hold your water," she added.Backing Modi's mission, Aamir Khan, who is quite vocal about social issues, had earlier tweeted, "The initiative by the Hon'ble PM @narendramodi to curb 'single-use plastic' is an effort all of us should strongly support. The actor then offers water in a glass and 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' quickly accepts it.However, the monkey refuses. But I think the easiest to do and a small change that we can all do in our lives that will make a big difference is about single-use plastic.He also spoke about the initiative during the Independence Day address, urging people to join the movement."In June, Salman had also posted a subtle yet impactful message on single-use plastic. 

Each one has to take responsibility and say that I am going to be an ideal citizen and I am going to do something for the environment," the 'Kalank' actor said. Salman, who was dressed in a black shirt and blue trousers, added, "Don't use plastic and don't be plastic."During his monthly radio address to the nation, 'Mann Ki Baat', the Prime Minister had pitched for launching a "new mass movement" against single-use plastic from October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. "There are so many things you can do for the environment and each one of us can do it in our own little way," she added.At an IIFA press conference in Mumbai, the actors voiced their concerns and drew attention to the pressing environmental problems that are slowly and steadily inflicting irreversible damage to the planet. I think PM Narendra Modi Ji's initiative is incredible and that's something we all should support," said Katrina, who rocked a blue dress for the event. "We don't see it happening in front of us

Thailand, the current chair of the group, has lauded the declaration as a "big step” for the region, whose coasts have seen whales and sea turtles wash up dead in recent years with large amounts of plastic rubbish in their stomachs..China is the worst offender.Thailand’s largest retail conglomerate Central Group said last month it aimed to reduce plastic bags by 150 million this year by giving customers rewards incentives. China is the worst offender. 

There should be designated places for every single item to go..Words on Paper?Environmentalists welcomed ASEAN’s move to adopt the joint declaration, but there are worries that implementation will be a challenge, because the group has a code of non-interference that would leave necessary policymaking in the hands of individual member countries.He also said ASEAN should aim to significantly improve its waste management schemes, as well as hold producers of consumer goods accountable.ASEAN members Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand are among the five countries throwing the most plastic waste into oceans, according to a 2015 report co-authored by environmental campaigner Ocean Conservancy.. The rest goes to incineration or landfill, where about 50,000 to 60,000 tonnes leaks into the ocean. 

This declaration will be a new milestone, but it will be just words on paper if there is no change in policies,” Tara Buakamsri, director of Greenpeace Thailand, told Reuters.sea animals dying from eating plastic.He said ASEAN countries should urgently all ban single-use plastic first for the declaration to be effective. "There is no other way,” Tara said. (Representational Image) Bangkok: Thai zero-waste advocate Thanaboon Somboon never leaves his home without what he calls full "weaponry” of reusable shopping bags, coffee tumblers and stainless steel straws for his daily battle against single-use plastic.According to Ocean Conservancy, 60 per cent of the debris comes from China and the four ASEAN nations.Each year, Thailand generates about 2 million tonnes of plastic waste, only about 25 per cent of which gets recycled.But individual efforts alone can’t fully stop the 8 million tonnes of plastic that make their way to the ocean each year, and with four of the five worst ocean polluters in Southeast Asia, the region’s governments must take action, he says. "Producers should also be made responsible for taking back the single-use plastic they produce .

A summit for leaders of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) being hosted by Thailand this weekend is expected to adopt the Bangkok Declaration on Combating Marine Debris in ASEAN Region.According to Ocean Conservancy, 60 per cent of the debris comes from China and the four ASEAN nations."I saw news of trash overflowing the world.

The declaration will come ahead of next week’s G20 summit in Japan, which assembles 20 major economies and will also aim to tackle marine plastic pollution.Environmentalists commend initiatives by some major wholesale PS sheets retailers to cut back on plastic bags, but say most businesses will not take action unless there is a stricter push from policy initiatives.”.CP All, which operates over 10,000 7-Eleven convenience stores across the country, said it has saved 464 million bags from circulation since December, donating more than 92 million baht saved from the process to public hospitals around the country.I felt I must do something,” says the 48-year-old entrepreneur, who leads an online community of more than 20,000 people seeking to practise a waste-free lifestyle. If things are piled up somewhere, they can leak into the ocean,” he said. This might make them think twice about producing single-use packaging.Unlike the European Union’s central bans and targets, Wijarn said the ASEAN declaration will outline broad ideas but it will be up to each country what it would take home to implement. Of 300 million tonnes of plastic waste the world produces annually, 8 million ends up in the oceans, killing marine life and entering the human food chain, it says.. "Every ASEAN country agrees that marine debris is a common problem that we must address urgently,” Wijarn Simachaya, permanent secretary of Thailand’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, told Reuters

Green turtles were once a delicacy in Kenya, but may no longer be eaten under laws to protect the endangered species from extinction. but they're # still hungry so they keep eating and it compounds, compounds, compounds and they explode on the inside," said Casper van de Geer, manager of Local Ocean Conservation, which runs the Watamu turtle rescue.But "sometimes they can't."It's a very successful story, we are hoping to release it if not today, in the next two days or so.-

Sometimes they can't' -Many turtles are found floating, barely alive, having eaten so much plastic that they become buoyant and can no longer dive into the depths where they live and feed.Fisherman-turned-environmentalist Kahindi Changawa, 40, looks with a smile over the tank for Kai, a green turtle which has been recovering from plastic ingestion at the Watamu rehabilitation centre for nearly a month.Dozens of the endangered creatures need rescuing every year around the coastal town of Watamu, where plastic litter accumulates in the Indian Ocean and the beach from as far afield as Indonesia, Madagascar and Yemen, according to the product labels.Ahead of the UNEA meeting to tackle the scourge of pollution, UN Environment Programme head Erik Solheim urged action to stop the oceans becoming a "plastic soup". die...1 billion tonnes of plastic had been produced to date, most of it dumped into landfills and the oceans. 

And by now it is pretty much everywhere.Plastic is cheap, versatile and nigh-indestructible."Sometimes I find (plastic) in the stomachs" of the fish he catches....As its human handlers step aside, Kenzo struggles out of the harness, pushes hard with its flippers on the sand, and slides into small waves specked with bits of plastic trash.

Be it a goldfish, hamster, rabbit or a cat and maybe even a dog, each pet brings with it a set of guidelines and things one must follow that ensures that the pet has a healthy and happy life.After careful investigation, it was found that the woman owned a free-range, golden hamster. The child was rushed to the hospital for recovery and the ferret was killed. So it was strange when South-African farmer, Marius Hels kept a Hippo at his farm in Free State for years despite being warned about it several times, even calling the animal a son to him. The ten month old animal weighing around 150 kgs had a history of erratic behaviour and knocked the lady to the ground and apparently tried to have sex with her. Its new home was made out of human skin, fat, and muscle tissue. What they didn’t expect was finding their bloodied baby with seven of his fingers eaten by their pet ferret.However, not all animals are perhaps meant to be kept as pets and keeping them often lead to darker consequences. 

She had bled to death after being clawed and bitten and later being dragged to the enclosure by her half wolf- half dog hybrid pets.Marius was eaten up by his pet hippo whom he considered to be his sonChild and family ferret: People are often fascinated into keeping ferrets as pets. Sometimes they just end up paying a price much higher than the one they paid to acquire the pet. He had a barn space for his domesticated bulls in Philadelphia where the accident happened. And that is not all, another case happened where a couple came to their drawing room to find their new born baby being eaten alive by their three pet ferrets!Pet ferret ate up baby's fingers before family realised the incidentMark Voegel and his spider: The 30-year-old from Germany was found dead in his apartment when his army of exotic pets escaped their cages.Sandra L. The victim was found dead in her home, with unusual marks and wounds on her face. He lay on top of her straddling her until she ran out of oxygen and died due to the unbearable pressure.Mark Voegel was killed by his black widow spider following which the rest of his exotic pets ate him up. Not all animals are perhaps meant to be kept as pets and keeping them often lead to darker consequences (Photo: Pixabay) Keeping animals at home is a huge responsibility. 

When investigators looked in an inconspicuous open drawer, they found a ghastly sight: the hamster's burrow. Her estranged husband went to look for her, only to find that her body was inside the cage of her wolf-dogs, partially eaten. While they were kept in separate cages, she was mauled to death one fine day by her black bear while she was cleaning his cage. Piovesan and her wolf-dogs: Sandra had raised a pack of nine wolf-dogs by herself and was extremely devoted to them, saying that they gave her unqualified love. A few years back, his body was found floating in the river being thoroughly chewed up by his pet hippo. There is a distinction between animals which can be kept as pets and those that are wild and people who break this code have very unfortunate accidents plaguing them. It was a day before his 53rd birthday that he was attacked by his one-ton bull and died succumbing to the injuries. Authorities believe that his Black Widow, named Bettina, may have orchestrated the whole human flesh eating event by fatally biting him.
