 Amazon Echo vs Google Home

Speaker:

Sound Quality:

The 'Home' delivers much better and richer sound quality than the Amazon's Echo. However, both the Echo and the Google Home can be used as Bluetooth speakers for your phone, and both support multi-room audio.

Compatible:

Both devices support iHeartRadio, Pandora, Spotify, and TuneIn. The Echo also supports Amazon Music, while the Home supports Google Play Music and YouTube Red.

Wake Up Options:

The Echo has many wake up options like-  "Alexa" "Amazon" "Echo" in the female voice, believe me, its female voice is very pleasant. Whereas Google Home only has one wake up option, "Hey Google," but it now has both male and female voices. 

More helpful:

Alexa uses Wikipedia for queries related to general knowledge, while Google's home search comprehensively. Both can do things like spell words, set timers, and read the news. Google has superior multi-user functions.

Which one to buy?

I will recommend you should go for the Amazon Echo for the two reasons- First, it has impressive sound surrounding in the 3.5mm jack and secondly, Alexa is more refined than Google Assistant.

Windows Phone in 2018?

Windows is PC market leader but in the smartphones market, it is unable to keep that position. Windows failed in smartphones due to its own mistakes and late acquisition. 

Once the windows OS (operating system) in phones was the global leader followed by Blackberry and Symbian OS. But the condition got changed in 2007 after the launch of Apple's first iPhone. 

iPhone came with multi-touch capacitive touchscreen and the ios software was feature-loaded and finely tuned according to that time. On the other hand, Android was open source. It was compatible with numerous devices and was available in every price segment whereas Windows was not open source. Companies had to give some royalty to the windows to use their OS. Also, it ran on the keypad when android and ios adopted touchscreen. The software was boring whereas android and ios look enough modern at that time. They also attracted the attention of developers. One of the reasons for the failure of windows was not getting the good response from third-party apps developers. Because of the less active user, developers were less interested in working with Windows operating system. In this way, the huge market of windows phones went into the hand of ios and Android. 

Windows realized its mistake too late when the majority of the market was captured by android and ios. Last windows phone was Microsoft Lumia 950, launched in 2015 but failed to leave its mark and in providing stability to windows in the smartphone market.

Rooting in Android

Bottleneck 

I hope all my blog visitors easily understand the topic "Why Windows Phones Failed?" in light english.

What is android rooting?

Rooting means access of admin user, sometimes called superuser. Smartphone companies lock this feature with certain limitation for the normal user for security purposes. Breaking this shield of limitation and getting admin's right is rooting.

Why companies lock this feature?
Smartphone companies lock this feature because they do not want the users to get all the authority. Sometimes during rooting phones get damaged and companies have to bear all the loss of the user. If the phone is in warranty, then companies have to give new phones to its user. That's why they lock this feature. 
Now smartphone companies started mentioning that rooting can void their smartphone's warranty.

What can a user do with their android by rooting?
First of all, a user can give all new look to its existing android
- Can remove the bloatware
- Can change the firmware
- Can improve the performance by relocation cache
- Can increase or decrease the clock speed
- Can enjoy the feature of upcoming android in existing android

Rooting is good or bad?
In my opinion, if you know rooting and are a tech-savvy then it is good for you. If you forget any step of rooting then your phone will be dead and you have to visit service center.

"I have just explained the complicated topic that is 'Rooting in Android'. Hope you guys understand. Don't forget to share, comment and subscribe. I need your support."

In simple words, a component in the computer or smartphone which slows down the performance of the entire system is called a bottleneck.

Suppose you have a computer or smartphone with powerful components and still you are not getting the best performance. This is because of the bottleneck. 


Suppose you have a powerful PC which has the fastest i7 core, best graphics card and best ram (8/16 GB) and still it lags and gives a slow performance, the reason might be Hard disk. The speed of the hard disk is not so fast as other components like processor, GC, ram to provide information to them on time. Maybe it does not meet the quality of other components. So here bottleneck is the hard disk.

Hard disk is not the reason for bottleneck every time. It also occurs due to processor, GC, ram. 

[ Also Read: Why Windows Phone Failed? ]

Now take another example, if a PC has a high-end processor and the ram is only 2/4 GB. It is obvious that it will lag the most😣. So here ram is the bottleneck. Any component in the computer can create bottleneck, if it does not meet up the quality of other.

It is impossible to get rid of a bottleneck. Even having a system with advanced component, there will be a component which is either underpowered or overpowered which will create bottleneck in your system.
