Biased (Positive) Review of POCO F1 by Xiomi

Why any of us buy new phone? May be because of adrenaline rush of new device, the sense of pride, show off or old one is outdated or not working anymore. Whatever may be the reason buying new phone these days is a task. Gone are the days when you know what you want to buy. In India Nokia was our only savior, we know 3310, 3510 and so on...   Buying New Phone Recently, my year and half old phone started showing signs of age (lol) and I thought great time to buy new phone. Now, comes the dilemma of choice. The market is flooded with choices cheap to expensive, entry to premium. one should know all these terms to be specific plus there is a fear of left behind and missed out exclusive offers this festive season. Anyhow I searched the market and made up my mind to have some defined criteria like first and foremost budget, RAM, Processor, Camera, Memory, Screen Display, Sound etc. my order of priority.

It is said that patience is the key for success, but it is not true in all situations, specially when your webpage is loading. I mostly wait few seconds for page to load and if it is not loaded I move on. This is the nature of most of us. Nature of impatience. In my previous article , I discussed about, how google is trying to solve this problem, by introducing, Accelerated Mobile Programming in 2015, where page content is loaded first, then associated JavaScript and so on. As a result, the page load under 1 second, with at least an improvement of around 2.7 seconds from the legacy systems. This is much better for both end users and business where much of the revenue is generated from Ad Network like google AdSense. Seeing the success of AMP. Google announced on 13-14 Feb 2018, in the Conference in Amsterdam, to implement AMP for Gmail. This will be one of the biggest change for Gmail in a way.

AMP your webpage for lightning fast loading!

I am very impatient if you are talking about the webpage loading time. The waiting image or progress bar seems forever to finish and keep going on and on and on which annoyed me in the past and still does even the speed of networks have increased many folds. It’s not always the ISP speed but also the webpage data load. The creator has the tendency to choose all-in-one page content than separate segregated webpages. This makes page heavy in terms of amount of content on it and will take much time to load. Google Announces Open Source Project AMP in 2015 to tackle the issue of page loading time which is essentially the most important part of users experience on your webpage. Till this article is published, AMP is adopted by over 31Million domains. Last year AMP alone help generating $6 million per week through Google AdSense and DoubleClick Ad Exchange, which is 3 time more revenue per day compared to past. What is AMP? AMP is not what we usually associated with the u...
