This small flagship smartphone could be the answer to many people’s problem with the big and bulky smartphones of today. 

Pricing

With two colors- Obsidian Black and Horizon Silver, the company has released the Asus 8Z in a single variant of 8GB RAM and 128GB Storage which is priced at Rs 42,999. The smartphone will be available to purchase on Flipkart from 7th of March onwards where you can avail several bank and EMI offers. 

Specifications

The Asus 8Z flaunts a glass back and a 5.9-inch Samsung-made E4 AMOLED display(1080x2400 pixels) with HDR10+ certification and an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz. The front panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus and the back is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. With a peak brightness of 1100 nits, you can use the smartphone in bright environments without having to squint your eyes too much. In the optics department- the front features a punch hole selfie camera on the top left corner with a 12MP lens while the rear features a dual camera setup which includes a 64MP Sony IMX686 primary lens and a 12MP Sony IMX363 lens which can autofocus and also work as a macro. The imagery produced by the smartphone shows good coloring which makes the photos look more natural. Since it is a compact smartphone and there is only so much space for multiple camera lenses, the dual camera provided does a good enough job. Asus 8Z comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset which when combined with LPDDR5 RAM of up to 8GB and UFS 3.1 Storage of up to 128GB will perform and multitask seamlessly. You can play every game and swipe between multiple apps and the smartphone will do its job and keep up with your needs. Out of the box, the smartphone runs on Android 11 and ZenUI.

It is not the best flagship smartphone out there, but it is the best compact flagship android smartphone that you can get. Asus has forged a way for itself in which it can launch better products in the future which can deal with further issues of customers and bring in more to the table. The Asus 8Z is a decent flagship smartphone which you can use for your daily needs but do not expect all the premium features that you would think a flagship smartphone should come with.

How to get unbanned from Omegle Easily?

What is Omegle?

Omegle is a free to use website that allows its users to interact through chat or video. This website connects random strangers from across the world and lets them talk about anything without having to register or make an account. Anonymity and freedom are the main catch of Omegle which attracts a lot of users daily. Additionally, a user can put in certain ‘interests’, after which they can connect with other users who would have also put in the same ‘interests’. 

Is Omegle safe?

The word ‘safe’ is very subjective. If you mean if someone can track you through Omegle and cause you harm in real life, then MAYBE no. But if you mean if you will be exposed to Pornography and Predation, then yes. Due to the lack of proper moderation and the site’s digital security, it is recommended that you do not share any personal information which can leave you vulnerable to being blackmailed or your personal data getting shared. Omegle stores users’ chats for up to four months. So if you are in bad luck and the Omegle servers get hacked within those four months, any sensitive information that you might have shared via chat would be out in the public. 

Why does Omegle ban users?

Although there is a long list of reasons for which one could get banned on Omegle, the main reasons for which users usually get banned are- Violating Omegle’s Terms and Conditions Although the moderation of Omegle is not the best, sometimes it works. Cases of ‘adult’ content, abuse, harassment, racism, use of copyrighted music/TV shows etc in the background, spamming are most likely to get someone temporarily banned or permanently banned based on repeat offenses. Dropping too many people or getting dropped by too many people Omegle allows you to disconnect from a chat/video any time you want to. But if you disconnect too often or people disconnect you too often, then it can likely get you banned. If you drop too many chats, then the reason assumed by the Omegle moderators for the ban may be that you do not want to participate constructively in the Omegle community. On the other hand, if too many people drop you, then the reason assumed by Omegle moderators may be that you have been harassing or abusing or spamming users.

How to get unbanned from Omegle?

Users usually get a temporary ban which can stretch from 5 days to 120 days. If you feel like you have been wronged and did not deserve the ban, take a look here about how you can get yourself unbanned on Omegle- Since Omegle only bans the IP address and not the user itself, most of the ways to bypass a ban revolve around changing or manipulating your IP address. Use a VPN A VPN masks your IP address by rerouting your web address through a proxy server in another location. Although Omegle may not function while using a VPN for some users, it will function for a lot of other users. So give it a try. Connect to a different network Since your IP address is banned and it is assigned to your network enabled device, you can use other networks like a mobile hotspot, public WiFi et cetera to change your IP address and start chatting on Omegle again. Use  Proxy service Similar to VPNs, proxies will send your traffic through an alternate server and mask your IP address which might help you get back into Omegle again. Get a different IP address - Find out your IP address with a quick google search of ‘what is my IP address’.  - Unplug your modem and wait for about an hour. - Plug back your modem and let it connect to the network. - Google search your IP address again and check if it has changed. In the case of having a static IP address, contact your Internet Service Provider(ISP) and ask for a new IP address. Wait for a few days If none of the above mentioned ways work for you, then the best thing that you can do is give it some time. The bans on Omegle are temporary and if you are in luck you can get back into Omegle in only a few days. Or in the best case scenario, your ISP refreshes your IP address automatically which also lifts the ban without you having to do anything. In any case, visit Omegle regularly to check the status of the ban received. Read the full article

Everything you need to know about your CIBIL Score. How to calculate CIBIL Score ?

What is CIBIL score?

CIBIL score is a 3-digit number ranging from 300-900 which lenders look at to judge your credit worthiness before issuing you a loan. Credit Information Bureau of India or CIBIL is a credit rating authority in India which has been authorized by the Reserve Bank of India to conduct official financial inspection of individual profiles. The score generated by the company by taking into consideration various factors like past credit history, repayment behavior et cetera determines whether an individual is credit worthy or not. Thus, a higher CIBIL score will result in a higher chance of credit approval and vice versa. According to statistics, 79% of loans are credited to consumers with a CIBIL score of 750 or more. Hence, it is crucial that you keep track of your CIBIL score and know about how you can keep it high.

How to calculate CIBIL score?

CIBIL score is mainly influenced by- Payment History This makes up about 30-35% of your CIBIL score and takes into account how you have repaid your past debts or how many times have you made a late payment or defaulted on paying EMIs.  Credit Portfolio This includes how much debt you have taken in the past(both secured and unsecured loans) and makes up about 25% of your CIBIL score. Multiple Credit Inquiries This reflects as a loan hungry behavior and using too much credit in comparison to your income will affect your CIBIL score negatively. Several other miscellaneous factors are also taken into consideration to determine your CIBIL score. Note- Not having a credit history at all affects your CIBIL score negatively as there will be no history to vouch for your creditworthiness.

How to have a high CIBIL score?

- Always pay your loans on or before time.  - Do not use too much credit. - Maintain a healthy mix of secured(home loan and auto loan) and unsecured loans(personal loan and credit cards).  - Do not default on EMIs. - Check your CIBIL score regularly and keep track of all paid and unpaid accounts. You can avail several benefits like lower interest rate, higher chances of credit approval, higher credit limit et cetera when you have a high CIBIL score. So go ahead and do what you can to maintain it.
