What Makes OPPO A53s 5G The Most Affordable 5G Phone in India

We all know that affordability is the key to making technology accessible to a vast number of people. That’s the reason I was surprised when I noticed that smartphone manufacturers were launching 5G mobile phones at much higher price levels like Rs 40,000 and above.

But, then, something happened recently, which took me by surprise. OPPO launched the most affordable 5G smartphone in India called ‘OPPO A53s 5G’ at a jaw-dropping price of Rs 14,990/-.

By launching this new mobile phone at less than Rs 15,000 price, OPPO has genuinely made the 5G technology accessible to a significant number of users in India. If you want to buy the OPPO A53s 5G, it is available in two variants – 6GB RAM & 128GB ROM variant priced at Rs 14,990 and 8GB RAM & 128GB ROM variant priced at Rs 16,990.

Upon doing more research, I realized that not only is the OPPO A53s 5G the most affordable 5G phone in India, but it also has many features, which gives great value to the buyers.

Here are OPPO A53s 5G’s features that make it one of the best Android phones in under Rs 20,000 price brackets:

1.       A capable processor that also lets you play games.  OPPO A53s 5G comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC chipset that supports Dual Sim 5G. In other words, it allows both the SIMs of OPPO A53s 5G to provide you with a 5G experience. It allows you to play games at medium settings with great ease without any issues. The processor is more than capable of performing day-to-day tasks. The MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC processor is a 7nm octa-core chipset, which means it’s battery-efficient as well. Imagine you’re getting such a capable processor at less than Rs 15,000 price. Isn’t it great?             

2.       6GB RAM is under Rs 15,000 price + scope for RAM expansion. OPPO has clearly built this phone for the future, and that’s why it’s providing you 6GB RAM at less than Rs 15k price. While 6GB should be more than sufficient to perform all sorts of tasks, you’ve also got an 8GB variant, which is available by just paying Rs 2,000 extra. And, if that’s still not sufficient, you have the scope for further expanding RAM as well. You’ve got plenty of options with OPPO A53s 5G to suit your needs while using this phone.

3.       Sleek design that’ll look great in your hands. OPPO is known to make its devices look appealing, and to that extent, this new phone is no different. With an 8.44mm thickness, the phone looks sleek. At 189.6 grams, it’s easy to hold in your hands and slide in your pocket. I’ve seen some of my friends using it, and it looks neat and elegant. If you’re concerned that it’s affordable and hence may look a bit unwieldy, don’t worry because OPPO has ensured that this phone is far superior to many phones in the looks department.

4.       Sufficient battery capacity to last for 2 days. OPPO A53s 5G is equipped with a large 5,000 mAh battery, which ensures that you can use the phone for 1.5 to 2 days when fully charged. Moreover, it comes with a battery-efficient MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC chipset, which further enhances its battery’s performance. With the rollout of 5G, people will be watching more video content and playing games on their smartphones. That’s why OPPO has provided a big enough battery in this phone so that people can use it without any hiccups. When you’re in the quest to find the best smartphone with long-lasting battery, this is it!

5.       AI camera features. Last but certainly not least, OPPO A53s 5G can be great fun when you want to take photos. It comes with artificial-intelligence (AI) enabled camera features that allow you to take superb pictures of a sunrise or a meal with scene recognition, colour mapping, and tone algorithms. In under Rs 15,000 price range, it’s undoubtedly the best camera phone by OPPO.

OPPO A53s 5G also has a triple camera set-up on the rear, including a 13 MP primary lens, a 2 MP macro lens, and a 2 MP portrait lens. It has an 8 MP lens on the front for selfies, etc.

How is the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G an ‘entertainer’ in the true sense of the term?

Gone are the days when mobile phones were used only for calling and messaging. With the advent of technologies like 3G, 4G, and now the upcoming 5G, smartphones have become entertainment devices.

Smartphone users are playing video games, watching movies, and even shooting films on their phones these days. They have high expectations, and only a few manufacturers are able to provide them with smartphones that can take care of all their needs.

When I researched the recently launched ‘OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G,’ I realized that it has so many impeccable features, which make it an entertainer in the true sense of the term. Here are some of those features:

AI-Highlight Portrait Video

This latest OPPO phone uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the quality of portraits in videos by automatically detecting and adjusting for light conditions. If you’ve ever shot a video in low light, you’d know what I mean.

OPPO uses an ‘AI-Highlight Portrait Video’ feature to make human portraits look vivid with sharper details. 

This feature is a combination of OPPO’s proprietary technology like Ultra Night Video and HDR Video. The Ultra Night Video feature ensures that night videos are brighter with a better dynamic range. HDR Video feature can be really helpful in the day time, as it minimizes image noise even when there’s a backlight.

Front & rear video cameras can be turned on simultaneously

For content creators and even for an average user, OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G is a blessing, as it allows them to turn on both front and rear cameras simultaneously and create videos in a split screen mode. 

Such videos can capture great moments when you’re travelling or doing an outdoor activity, as they can show the same scene from two different perspectives. I’ve seen such videos getting excellent traction on Instagram and Facebook.

Super-fast charging

If a phone is genuinely an entertainer, it needs to ensure that it’s easy to charge and its battery doesn’t drain quickly. On this count, OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G excels, as it’s packed with a 50W flash charge combined and a 4310mAh battery. 

With just a 5-minute charge, you can do 1.5 hours of your Instagram work. Imagine you’re a popular Instagrammer and an influencer, and you want to interact with your followers. 

This latest 5G mobile phone by OPPO will be your savior in tight situations, such as when your phone’s battery is low. Suppose you want to talk on your phone; OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G can let you do 5 hours of calling with just a 5-minute charge.

Great AMOLED display to watch video content

What’s a phone without a good display and in an age when we’re all consuming a lot of content through our smartphones? 

That’s the reason OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G comes with a super AMOLED display with a large 90.8% screen-to-body ratio to watch HD content. One look at its display, and you’d know how good it can be to watch films or any sort of content.

Tons of features for gamers

This new phone by OPPO comes with many features, which provide an immersive experience to the gamers. 

For example, gamers won’t like it if notifications interrupt them while they are playing. In OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G, you can turn on bullet notifications, which help you in having gaming sessions without any interruptions. 

Whether you’re getting messages from Whatsapp, Telegram, or SMS, this phone will ensure that they don’t come in your way and you enjoy your game.

Powerful chipset

None of the above features would be possible if the phone doesn’t have a capable processor. OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G comes with MediaTek 5G Dimensity 800U chip that has eight powerful cores, including two 2.4 GHz Arm Cortex-A76 big cores, which enable you to do your day-to-day tasks, shoot videos, take pictures, watch films, and even play games seamlessly without any hiccups at all.

For my money, the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G smartphone is a great entertainer. It’s a 5G-enabled smartphone, which means it’s future-ready. 

But, it also allows you to switch between 4G and 5G networks seamlessly. Depending upon the network available, you can move from 4G to 5G and vice versa. Moreover, it’s available at an affordable price of Rs 25,990.

How does OPPO band compare with the fitness bands of Honor, Mi, and OnePlus?

Launched on the 8th of March, the OPPO Smart Band Style will give many of its competitors a run for their money. With this product, the OPPO brand has ventured into the budget fitness tracker segment in India. Priced at roughly Rs. 3,999, this fitness band sports a simple design in a capsule-shaped module inside a silicone strap.

A 2.5D curved glass accompanies the 1.1-inch AMOLED display for protecting the screen. The fitness band is water-resistant up to 50 metres, with a 5ATM certification. 

It is capable of tracking 12 workout modes that include reduced-fat running, training assistant, indoor running, outdoor running, walking, cycling, indoor cycling, swimming, elliptical machine, rowing machine, badminton, free training.

However, the major highlight of the OPPO Smart Band Style is its continuous Sp O2 monitoring, which helps you track the oxygen level in your blood. The best part is, this function is active even when you are sleeping, which can detect drops in oxygen level at night. 

This in turn, is highly crucial in identifying sleep breathing problems, and providing alerts whenever the band senses potential health risks. This is all the more important for brain workers, snorers, and senior citizens. 

Backed by 16 months of continuous research and development, OPPO could incorporate this technology in this fitness band. Unlike most blood oxygen monitors available in the market, this does not depend on isolated readings reflecting the blood oxygen level of a single instant.

It also offers features like sleep monitoring, besides daily activity trackers such as steps taken, calories burnt, distance travelled, and sedentary reminder. Additionally, OPPO has equipped the product with a host of innovative features such as notification mirroring, caller ID display, reject calls, stopwatch, alarm clock, weather, music control, and find my phone.

In terms of battery life, the 100mAh battery unit will last for about 12 days on a single charge. However, it also depends on usage habits. The charger in the package will be able to charge this product fully in 90 minutes. What’s more, the OPPO Band supports over 40 watch faces, depending on the requirement.

If you are keen to buy this, you can check it out on Amazon.

Let’s look at some of the wearables from other players that the OPPO Band will take on.

 1.      Honor 5 Fitness Band: This fitness tracker flaunts a 0.95-inch AMOLED display and can track sleep patterns as well as heart rate. Water-resistant up to 50m, this fitness band also has multiple watch faces to choose from.

It offers a simple, easy-to-use UI and can display the number of steps you’ve taken, your heart rate, sleep duration, workout details, and other notifications. It also buzzes you if you have been inactive for a considerable period of time. You can choose from nine workout options from the workout tab, including a free training mode.

You can track indoor as well as outdoor runs, besides swimming. Thanks to a recent update, it now boasts music controls and SpO2 (blood oxygen level) tracking. Going by the claims of Honor, this fitness band will deliver 14 days of battery life, while the charger takes about 1 hour 20 minutes to charge the Band completely.

 2.      Mi Band 5: This latest offering from Xiaomi in the fitness band category sports a 1.1-inch AMOLED colour display and comes in 5 strap colours. Thanks to the 5ATM waterproofing, you can use it in a swimming pool and also in the shower.

It offers 11 professional sports modes, including outdoor running, treadmill, cycling, indoor cycling, walking, elliptical machine, rowing machine, yoga, jump rope, pool swimming, and freestyle. You can also keep a tab on your steps taken and calories burnt, PAI index, heart rate stats, notifications, stress level, breathing level, and menstrual cycle monitor.

There are 100 watch faces to choose from. Tracking stress and menstrual cycles are the newly added features that make this fitness band stand apart. You can expect two weeks of battery life, and the wearable takes a little more than 2 hours for a full charge.

3.      OnePlus Band: The first fitness band from OnePlus, this product comes with a 1.1-inch AMOLED display and offers 5ATM of water-resistance. It is capable of SpO2 tracking, besides letting you check your daily activity, heart rate, sleep duration, and the weather. Powered by a 100mAh battery with 14 days of battery life, it can store up to 5 watch faces at a time.

The dual colour band is one of the key design elements. This fitness tracker supports Bluetooth 5, lets you access notifications, read incoming messages, etc.; it is also equipped with a Breathe app for guided breathing exercises. The multiple workout modes cover outdoor walking, cycling, running, cricket, badminton, and swimming.

OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G all set to relieve the mid-range smartphone category from mediocrity

At a time when everyone is looking for exceptional features in their mobile phones, people usually stretch their budget to go for an expensive smartphone. But, frankly, not everyone wants to break their bank. So, what should they do?

Many consumers make a compromise and settle for a mid-range smartphone. After doing so, they realize that their smartphone lacks premium features. Fortunately for these customers, OPPO is going to launch a smartphone, which will relieve the mid-range smartphone category from mediocrity. 

The mobile giant is rumoured to be launching its new mid-range smartphone called OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G very soon in March 2021. The mobile phone is likely to be available in India in two colours - Fluid Black and Space Silver. 

A lot of mid-range smartphones in the Indian market don’t offer premium features. OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G is here to make an exception and relieve this category from mediocrity. Here are all the features of this upcoming phone which you should be looking forward to: 

Body & Display: The new F19 Pro+ 5G phone will flaunt a 2400 × 1080 FHD with a Super AMOLED Display, featuring a 6.43’’ Mini Hole-Punch with a diameter of only 3.7 mm. The screen-to-body ratio is going to be 90.8%. 

It’s ultra-thin and ultra-light, with only 173 grams of weight. The phone is built with DragonTrail Pro Glass, which will make it scratch-resistant. The smartphone will come with an On-screen fingerprint sensor for securely unlocking the device.

Hardware: According to rumours, the new F19 Pro+ 5G is likely to be powered by a MediaTek 5G Dimensity 800U. It will support dual-mode (NSA and SA) 5G SIM, and it will be super fast with eight powerful cores of up to 2.4 GHz and fast memory. It will feature 8 Antennas in a new 360° wrap-around design for better signal performance.  

Camera: F19 Pro+ 5G is likely to be an ideal camera smartphone with a one-piece quad-rear camera setup consisting of a 48MP primary sensor with f/1.7 aperture, 8MP wide-angle macro lens with f/2.2 aperture, 2MP portrait mono, and 2MP macro mono. 

But what’s interesting about the camera is its exceptional features. The camera has a sensor with Ultra Night Video Algorithm, which can detect and automatically apply night time graphics algorithms to improve night time video performance dramatically. Built for videography, the phone will offer an AI Highlight Video feature which will enhance the photos and videos according to different scenarios. 

Another notable camera feature is Night Plus that helps to capture three different styles of textured night city shots with one tap. By offering features like Dual-View Video, Focus Lock, and HDR video, this smartphone will certainly not be a mediocre in this range. 

Battery: This Android smartphone will be backed by a non-removable Li-po 4310 mAh battery + 50W Flash charge. It will allow you to charge your phone quickly. It will take approximately 44 minutes to fully charge at this speed. According to leaked reports online, the mobile phone will be sold in India with a 65W VOOC charger.  

Connectivity: Now download files from the internet at a superfast speed because the new OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G will provide a 5G modem. It will have a dual-network channel, which will allow 4G/5G connection to be used together to achieve smoother and faster network access. 4G will be the default setting, and 5G will have to be enabled manually.

Users will also get access to features like WiFi, Bluetooth, A-GPS, Mobile Hotspot, USB Type-C, USB OTG, along with 5G and 4G VoLTE networks.

Immersive Gaming Experience: The new F19 Pro+ 5G will have a smooth ColorOS 11 with Game Focus Mode that will block all interferences, including gestures and notifications. Skip the waiting time because this smartphone is designed with the right gaming features like Game Space and Game Floating Window. 

With Game space, you can access a game quickly with one tap within 24 hours after exiting the game, without having to wait for game introductions and loading videos. While the Game Floating can keep a game running in a floating window, you can re-access it anytime.

Other Notable Features: The OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G will include sensors and will offer many other amazing features like Flex Drop. It will help to multi-task more efficiently with Apps as floating windows on the screen. It will have Google Cast to mirror the screen on to a TV screen. 

With One Tap App Lock, the user will be able to lock all apps together before handing the phone over to someone else, ensuring privacy. In case you lose your mobile phone, you can use HeyTap Cloud to retrieve lost data from your Private Safe.

For a mid-range phone, the new OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G promises to be an exceptional smartphone in the market by offering amazing features which big mobile giants usually don’t offer at this price range. This smartphone is surely going to be a catch for people who want premium features in a mid-range smartphone.

How the OPPO fitness band will play an important role in your fitness motivation

Rumours are suggesting that OPPO will be launching an OPPO Fitness Band very soon. It's highly expected that the fitness band will be launched along with the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G smartphone in the first half of March 2021 itself.

I also tried getting information from various sources, and it seems that OPPO's new fitness band will have many features, which will make it your ideal fitness companion. So, here are some of the features of the band, which I think can play a huge role in your fitness motivation:

 a)     OPPO Band will provide constant health protection. My research shows that OPPO's new fitness band will continuously monitor SpO2 to check whether a user's blood has a sufficient amount of oxygen or not. The ideal percentage for SpO2 is between 94% and 100%. In the event it falls below 90%, the fitness band will alert the user so that he/she can consult a doctor. In the COVID-19 times, when all of us can get affected by the deadly coronavirus, it's highly recommended that we keep a check of our SpO2 levels using a fitness band like the one OPPO is going to launch. In addition, the band will also monitor "sleep quality," which will involve measuring body oxygen levels and breathing quality while a user is asleep. The device will accurately read these parameters to help users improve their lifestyle.

 b)     It will have 12 workout modes covering a range of fitness-related activities. Although the company is yet to come out with final details, it's highly likely that the OPPO Fitness Band will have 12 workout modes for activities like outdoor walking, outdoor running, outdoor cycling, indoor cycling, indoor running, badminton, swimming, etc. It means for all these activities, you'll be able to measure the calories you're burning, heart-rate, and several other parameters. Imagine the comfort of tracking your fitness performance across a vast range of activities! That's exactly what this product will deliver.

 c)     1.1" AMOLED touch display and a lot of customizable options. What's a fitness band that doesn't suit your personality or has such a small display that you've trouble reading it! In its new fitness band, OPPO is likely to take care of such issues that consumers often face with other fitness bands. The manufacturer is likely to provide a 1.1" AMOLED touch display in the band, which will definitely be bigger than the displays of other fitness bands. Users will get 40 plus watch faces, which means they will be able to customize the dial of their fitness band. In other words, you won't be compelled to use an interface which you don't like. The band will allow you to customize it based on your preferences.

 d)     12 days of battery life and many other useful features. A dominant reason why users abandon fitness bands soon after making a purchase is poor battery life. Keeping this into consideration, OPPO's new fitness band is expected to offer 12 days of battery life. Isn't it cool? Once it's fully charged, you'll be able to use it for 12 straight days for all the fitness activities and other day-to-day uses. Unlike other products in the market, this band won't make you run around for finding a charging point every now and then due to low-battery. The fitness band is likely to be water-resistant so that it's suited for swimming and also outdoor workout in the event of heavy rains. 

 It seems that OPPO has manufactured the fitness band with the objective of motivating users to remain steadfast on their fitness journey. While these features are compelling enough, I'd suggest readers keep an eye on this space because I'll be writing in greater detail about the OPPO Fitness Band very soon.

5G Smartphones are set to revolutionize Healthcare & Education

In the past few years, we have seen how 4G technology took mobile internet to the masses. All across India, even in rural areas, people started using the internet on their mobile phones. If 4G delivered better mobile internet experience, 5G will take the game to an altogether new level. 

 The launch of 5G technology will transform the lives and economy in a manner 3G and 4G could never do. Even though 5G is going to have a positive impact on all the industries, the impact on healthcare and education sectors is going to be particularly noticeable. 

 Let's take a deeper look into what 5G will mean for healthcare and education sectors.

Whenever we are ill, we usually prefer going to a hospital or a clinic physically. But for people living in remote areas with limited access to healthcare, it poses a huge challenge because they have to travel to nearby cities to go to a hospital. 

 With the advent of 5G cellular technology, people will be able to connect with their doctors from their homes' comfort through a short video call. Usually, MRIs and other diagnostic-related images are huge files, and therefore, they have to be submitted manually. It makes medical procedures lengthy and painstaking. 5G technology will help by making it possible to transfer huge medical files efficiently. 

 Since 5G offers lower latency and faster speed, it will be possible for healthcare providers to remotely monitor a considerably higher number of patients than possible currently. 

Hospitals and doctors will also be able to receive data in real-time, which will allow them to treat their patients more efficiently. Simply put, healthcare systems will be able to enhance the quality of care and patient experience with the help of 5G. 

 On the same lines, even the education sector will get a boost thanks to 5G. All across India, universities and colleges are searching for new and innovative ways to provide an improved learning experience to their students. 

 The introduction of 5G will make it possible for teachers to connect with their students remotely. 5G technology will also allow more devices to be connected with the network. It will be useful for schools and colleges, which use multiple devices for SMART classes. They will be able to download videos faster without facing buffering issues.

 5G will help deliver a seamless experience for online classes. As a result, teachers and students will be able to connect remotely. They won't have to spend time travelling. The students will be able to access lessons on smartphones, which they are doing with 4G, but 5G will provide them with a much-improved experience. 

 After COVID-19, people have become comfortable with the 'new normal'. They are taking doctor consultations and classes online with video calls. But, their experience has not been satisfactory. This is where 5G will help by offering a seamless experience in delivering and accessing healthcare and education services. 

 That's why many manufacturers have started launching 5G smartphones. OPPO will launch Reno5 Pro 5G on January 18. The all-new OPPO phone is going to deliver a great experience to the users. 

 The mobile phone is equipped with 5G modem that will provide lower latency and high-speed internet connectivity. The smartphone will offer features like 64MP quad-camera, MTK chipset 1000 plus, fast charging, 32MP selfie camera, borderless screen, AMOLED display, making it a perfect handset for your online classes and video conferences.

Your new 5G smartphone OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G is a gadget of innovative tech, learn how and what?

Smartphones are getting smarter every year, if not oftener! Between 2004-2006, the foray of smartphones was indeed a path breaking milestone in the evolution of technology. With their advent, we bid adieu to the times when phones were mainly used to make calls and send text messages, and our primary concerns when buying a new phone were centred on talk-time. Now we consider a host of factors, including operating systems, camera quality, battery life, download speed, and what not! Thanks to the multitude of apps, ordering and paying for goods/services is just a ‘touch’ away!

Smartphone and Internet: A match made in heaven!

In recent times, the Internet has been restructured, keeping mobile devices in mind.

Unwire yourself with the help of premium TWS earbuds - Enco X

I'm sure you've been in this situation. You're listening to your favourite song with headphones plugged in, but the background noise is ruining all the fun. Now, you have a solution to your problem.

OPPO has recently launched premium TWS earbuds, Enco X, which are priced at Rs 9,990. Although OPPO is best known in India for its smartphones, but the brand has a strong presence in the mobile accessories segment as well. And, Enco X is a premium addition to that.

 Let’s find out how Enco X can help you unwire yourself with its premium reconstruction and high sound quality.

 Customisable Noise Cancellation: The new OPPO Enco X is equipped with Hybrid ANC Technology, which means that you can customise Active Noise Cancellation. It allows you to fine-tune the amount of noise being cancelled via four modes, namely Max Noise Cancellation, Noise Cancellation, Transparency, and Noise Cancellation Off. 

 You won’t have to turn the volume up in a noisy environment. With hybrid ANC technology, you can enjoy immersive music experience by eliminating all the noise around you. Also, the Transparency mode allows you to hear ambient sound so that everything sounds normal while talking to people. To switch between ANC and Transparency modes, all you have to do is touch and hold the earphone handle.

 Co-created with Danish High-End Audio Brand, Dynaudio: OPPO has collaborated with Danish audio brand, Dynaudio, to provide high reconstruction, real, and natural sound quality in Enco X earbuds. Founded in 1977, Dynaudio has 40 years of experience in producing high-end speakers. The company is an expert in sound mixing style by reconstructing authentic and natural sounds. In Enco X, Dynaudio has focused on balancing the distribution of low, mid, and high tones. As a result, the earbuds can capture each detail of the music.

 Coaxial Dual Drivers Speakers: Even as balanced membranes and dual drivers are rarely used in TWS headphones, Enco X is offering 11mm dynamic dual drivers and 6mm balanced membrane drivers. This allows users to experience distinct levels of sound. While balanced membrane can produce high sound quality at higher frequencies, dynamic drivers take care of low to midrange sounds. Being coaxial ensures that low midrange sounds and upper midrange sounds join naturally.

 Triple mic call noise control: The Enco X has three dedicated microphones for call noise reduction. The triple-mic noise control algorithm ensures that clear audio and dialogues are achieved in cycling navigation. 

 Battery Life: OPPO Enco X’s 44mAh battery can provide up to four hours of music playtime in Max Noise Cancellation mode. That number goes up to 20 hours with the charging case, which has a 535mAh battery. Switching off ANC should get you 5.5 hours of playtime; 25 hours with the case. 

 Other impressive features: The TWS earbuds support Bluetooth 5.2 upto 10 meters of distance with a stable connection. It is compatible with Qi wireless charging protocol to charge the box. For reverse charging, a function has to be enabled on the mobile phone. It helps you quickly switch between multiple devices.

 You can instantly pair it to connected devices on opening the case and disconnect automatically on closing the case. It is sweat and water-resistant. It supports Google Voice Assistant, Apple’s Siri, and Amazon Alexa. 

 With so many exceptional features, OPPO Enco X is definitely a catch at this price. The earbuds are available on Flipkart. You can check them out here.
