Online advertising platform Adzooma has announced about there partnership with Google after just two months after backed by British billionaire businessman Fred Done.
The UK-based Adzooma are disrupting the digital agency landscape by making it straightforward for SMBs to advertise on Google Ads through tailor-made landing pages, simplified ad campaign creation, and ongoing performance optimization.
The newly formed partnership with Google will see both companies make further strides in
attempting to help small to medium businesses advertise online.
“We are pleased to have Adzooma on board as a Google Partner,” said Adrian Blockus, the head of channel sales for Google in the UK and Ireland. “Adzooma has demonstrated the product knowledge, technical expertise and drive to help their customers build online success through Google Ads.”
Adzooma’s business model stands it apart from the traditional digital agency crowd with an entry price point that makes online advertising more accessible to SMBs. Describing this innovative approach, Adzooma co-founder and CEO Robert Wass said: “Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy; driving growth, encouraging competition, opening up new markets and creating jobs.”
“Despite this, SMBs have been the hardest hit by an online advertising market that has become more expensive and increasingly more difficult to succeed in.

With cars produced by Google clocking over five million miles on public roads, Silicon Valley is quickly taking over Detroit as the automobile capital of America. As electric power and self-driving capabilities become more common, the link between motor vehicles and tech is becoming strengthened. Technology is making driving easier, safer and more fun. Here are some of the latest car tech trends to look out for in the coming months and years.
Cameras Everywhere
Cameras on cars have been around for a while, helping drivers to reverse safely into parking spaces. However, new innovations are replacing mirrors with cameras with can give the driver a more accurate and clear view. Soon the days of wing mirrors and rear view mirrors will be gone, as 360-degree cameras will provide motorists with all the information they need to navigate the roads safely.
The Audi e-Tron is an electric vehicle set to launch before the end of 2018. Promotional photographs reveal that its wing mirrors have been replaced with cameras and a small screen in each of the car’s front doors.
Pothole and Obstacle Detection
Cameras on cars don’t just help to provide drivers with a larger field of vision. They can also help to flag up potential hazards which cannot be spotted. New technology adds value to vehicles and can potentially offer significant savings. Potholes are the latest targets of new car technology, with the 2018 version of the Ford Focus coming equipped with pothole detection.
Each year, potholes cost drivers $3 billion, so these sensors make financial sense. The same technology is also being used to automatically slam on the brakes if the sensors detect a pedestrian in danger of being hit.
Wireless Charging
With a growing range of fully electric vehicles, cars are basically no different to a phone or tablet. They have a battery that needs charging. The job of tech companies is to ensure that these batteries last a long time between charges and that charging is fast and convenient.
With smartphone companies like Apple and Samsung using wireless charging, BMW has taken this idea and applied it to its new 5 Series. A charging pad that comes with the vehicle removes the need to plug it in. Simply park over the pad and it will begin to recharge the battery.
These exciting tech trends could change the way we use cars in the future. Cameras and sensors will improve visibility and take control when the driver misses an obstacle. Meanwhile, wireless charging is making electric vehicle use an easier and more viable option. Whereas car batteries place an important role in the future, many new car batteries are coming to the light every month like batteries sunshine coast etc.
Hope you like Latest Car Tech Trends that make change the future, if you have any suggestions like us know.
Mobiistar is a well-known reputed brand in the Vietnam market and always comes with something new and unique there. As the Indian market is one of the largest markets for smartphone makers, Mobiistar decided to launch some of their entry-level devices in Indian Market a few months back. Today we are having Mobiistar X1 Dual, which comes with quite good Built and selfie camera. So, let’s check it out how Mobistar X1 Dual is going to work in real-world usage.
Coming to the built part of the phone; here we get great polycarbonate classy built, with great selfie camera. The device fits perfectly in your hand and while using it on daily basis you will love the built and 2.75D curve display it has. It totally gives you the premium feel and still won’t affect your pocket much.
Starting with the design part; at the front top, we get 13+8 megapixel Camera setup which is the USP of the phone. One camera is a normal camera whereas the other camera is a wide-angle camera which can capture the shot up to 120 degrees. Beside it, we get different sensors, earpiece and Front LED flash.
Coming to the lower side we get a 5.7-inch HD+ Display which is covered with 2.75D curved glass. Nothing about gorilla glass is being mentioned by the brand. The curve glass gently melds in along with the curved sides, thus making it a joy to hold in the hands without any fatigue. In this price, no other brand is offering 2.75D curve edge on the display. Coming little bit down we get on screen capacitive keys as the device supports 18:9 full view display.
Turning the phone to the downside here we get a primary MIC and a micro USB port which supports OTG and no fast charging. Beside it, we get dual Speaker grills out of which right one is having the actual speaker in it.
Coming to the left side of the phone here we get Hybrid tray slot which supports Dual SIM’s or it supports Micro SD Card up to 128GB with one SIM in it.
Turning to the other side we get Volume rockers and power lock key which works quite well on regular usage and also gives your tactile feel while using them.
Further moving to the top side of the phone here we get a single vent for a 3.5mm Audio Jack and nothing much which need to mentioned over here.
Finally coming to the back side of the phone here we get a 13-megapixel camera with a support of Dual Tone LED flash. Below that we get a Mobiistar Branding. The back panel is made up of high-quality plastic with proper gloss finish overall you are going to love the built of the device.
Display of Mobiistar X1 Dual comes with a 5.7-inch HD+ Display with a resolution of 1440 X 720. The display gives you the ratio of 18:9. The colors on the display are sharp and playing games look great. While watching a movie on to the phone give immense experience. The Sunlight legibility is also good because of its really great brightness. When we compare the brightness with some other phones like Xiaomi Redmi 5A this one works really well in sunlight legibility.
Viewing Angle is good, and blacks are decent enough. While watching movies from an odd angle won’t affect you in any way. Overall no complaints about the display.
Mobistar X1 Performance
The phone comes with a MediaTek processor which they can improve. But still, for normal users, it will work well. We get MediaTek MTK6737 with a support of Mali T-72 MP2. Out of 32 GB of internal storage, you get about 26 GB free after that you can also expand it to up to 128GB as the phone support Hybrid SIM tray slot.
We get Antutu Score of 36999 and these scores on a budget device are good enough for daily usage. With this price, all that they have given is quite good for any normal person. We also get all the sensor which we get on other devices. No sensor is being removed from the device.
Coming to the gaming part, we can play almost all games, but you need to low down the graphics of the game. I was able to play PUBG at low graphics setting. Asphalt 9 can also be played at low graphics settings. We cannot expect high-end gaming at HD gameplay in this device.
Mobistar X1 Camera
Moving on to the cameras on the Mobiistar X1 Dual, the phone comes with a 13+8-megapixel front-facing camera setup. The photos capture using Mobiistar X1 Dual are quite good in daylight and quite average in low light. Still comparing with any other brand in same price bracket it offers way better image quality and selfie. The best part is that with this device you don’t need any selfie stick with you. The secondary camera which we are getting in Mobiistar X1 Dual is a 120-degree wide angle lens which can capture all by just using your hands.
Now coming to the back side where we get a 13-megapixel camera. The photos come out quite good when we see the pricing on top. The photos clicked in daylight are quite good but when we transfer the same in low light it gives us noise. I think the camera quality is above average from the back. Still, I have attached some camera samples from every aspect, hope it will help you to know the camera quality in a better way.

Mobistar X1 Battery
The battery on the smartphone is packed with a 3000mAh allowing you to sail through an entire day. You can use the device very aggressively still it is not going to affect your battery life, this might be because of proper battery optimization in there UI as well HD+ display which we are getting in this device. It will take me approx 2 Hours to charge from 0 to 100% using its default charger. Battery usage of the device is good.
Mobistar X1 Verdict
Overall, if you want great looks in the device with proper wide-angle selfie then this device is for you. You are going to love the device and compactness.

While talking backup, do not take backup of the whole application including other stuff such as App data. Just to a regular backup so as it doesn’t consume much memory on your phone. Before starting let us understand the significance of these apk files.
What is the use of apk?
You can transfer the applications to other devices and install them without having the internet.

Open-File Explorer, click on Apps, it will take you to all the apps installed on your phone. Now long press on the app or multiple apps and click on a Backup option in the bottom left.

The good thing is you can even get the version from two years ago or the latest version. ApkMirror is a decent online app repository. Thus saving you the process of installing the app from Google Play and then taking backup.

What Is A Computer Gaming Chair?
From the look of it, a gaming chair looks just like the desk chairs we use in the office; spacious and an extended high backrest to support your head, large armrests and a spinning-wheeled base that allows you to swing, spin and roll freely. However, gaming chairs are made a little different with special features that lift your game station.
Unlike the normal office executive chairs, you are used too, gaming seats offer a wide variety of modern designs and colors that make them so attractive just from looking at it. The designs are closely related to the racing chairs mostly used in simulators taking more of a bucket than the frumpy armchair designs. The adjustment and tilt feature is just on another level as they come with adjustable armrests which can slide and pivot upwards or downwards. Additionally, the seats allow you to lean back at your preferred angle but just a push of a button or pull of a lever as well as a reclining feature that gives you maximum comfort and stare at your gaming screen.
