Android or iOS device. Nokia 8 was made official on August and so far, it's HDM Global's highest spec Android phone tasked with returning the "Finnish" name back to its glory. The flagship runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat and it's plastered on Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 with 4GB RAM and 64 GB mass storage expandable with 256GB MicroSD card. The device also brings support for livestreaming video to Facebook and YouTube. One of the futuristic features you'd find on Nokia 8 is the Dual-Sight mode that allows its users to use both the front and back cameras simultaneously for split-screen photos and video.
Nokia 8 Bothie feature
Nokia pouted this feature as 'Bothie' and it's an advancement to the regular Selfies we're used to. You do know that feeling, when you are taking a photo of your friends & realised that you are the only one 'left out' of that beautiful moment since you're holding the camera. Well Nokia wants to change that feeling positively by letting you share your emotions together with your friends at the same time. While the Nokia 8's Dual-Sight mode is exclusive only for the device, there's also a way to get it on Android and iOS. So if you want to experience this bothie feature, you can get started with this apps.

1. Frontback

Frontback is one of the best apps that can mimic Nokia 8 'dual-sight' camera mode experience. The app lets you combine your device's front and back camera to captures multiple sided photos at once. One cool stuff you'd like about this app is that the photos are always in full screen mode, and you can go as far as applying effects to the second photo. Moreover there's an option to switch between capturing a single picture and two sided photos. The app is quite handy when it comes to taking "frontbacks" together with your friends.

2. Bothie


Just as the name implies, bothie is another cool app that let's you use both the rear and front cameras at the same time to capture awesome photos of your family and friends. The app is easy-to-use, as it automatically switches to front view when you've taken a back view image. Once you have taken both images, (albeit not at the same time just one after the other) they will be merged together into Bothie and saved to your gallery. Hence you won't be left behind in that best moment of your life as you're been included too. Download and install Bothie from Google Play Store.

Another popular app that can bring Nokia 8 Bothie feature to your Android & iOS device is front and back camera effects.

How to Get iPhone X Features on Android


iPhone X is one of the most sensational device that offers plethora features. But the price tag isn't something you can swallow easily, and you'd have to wait a little bit longer until the device ships into the smartphone market.

Apple's iPhone X brings a completely overhauled design, with spectacular edge-to-edge display that nearly covered the entire front of the device. This is one of the exceptional concept that made the device stand aside from its mates​. iPhone X/10 brought some cool features that are quite rare in older iPhones. Most of this features includes notch, face ID, animoji and the 'all new' gesture multitasking. While many technophiles will prefer to wait until November 3 to get this features, geeks who are eager to try something new won't take that chance. Therefore, we'll have to use a workaround to get most of the iPhone X features on Android.

1. Notch

iphone-x-notch

Have you seen that weird bump on top of the iPhone X screen? It's called notch. Apple integrated it when they introduced the new Face ID (a replacement for Touch ID). While some thinks the notch is cool, my opinion is contrary to that. But the notch is connected to the Face ID which uses infrared camera to scan your face and unlock your phone. If you're​ eager to get the new iPhone X notch on your Android phone, then XOutOf10 will surely help you with that. The app simulates iPhone X notch on your device without root access and you won't have to spend $999 to get this feature. Grab the app on Google Play Store now and enjoy the camera notch that covers the iPhone X screen on your Android phone.

2. Face ID

iphone-x-face-id

The introduction of Face ID on iPhone X is a great concept, as you won't have to go through the hassles of unlocking your phone with password. iPhone X Face ID scans your face through the infrared camera and thus your device gets unlocked and you can log into it. There's a similar app on android that can give you that functionality and that's Zoom Login. The app uses a 3D facial recognition algorithm and ultra-secure selfie-style face authentication to unlock  your smartphone. Alternatively, there is an inbuilt "Smart Lock" feature on Android 5.0 lollipop that unlocks your phone using your face. Go to settings and see if it's there, then set it up.

3. Gestures


If you decide to buy the iPhone X, then you'll have to re-learn how iPhone works. Apple ditched the Home button on the iPhone X to introduce a bottomless display and in this way, you'll only access iPhone X menu by swiping up from the bottom. This gesture comes quite in handy for multitasking, and you can use All in one Gestures for Android to get iPhone X swipe-to-go-home gesture. The app hides your device's soft keys and allows you to control your phone with simple gestures. One of the plethora features it offers is the ability to enable immersive mode on device running on Android 5.0 lollipop. So get the app, set it up, swipe your finger across the screen and the action you want will be performed.

4. Animoji

iphone-x-animoji

Animoji is one of the features introduced in iOS 11, it is simply the animated version of the popular emojis found on older iPhones. On iPhone X, animoji will use the Face ID recognition to create custom 3D emoji based on your facial expressions and this will be animated in-real time before you send it across to your recipients as a looping video with audio. With iPhone X, you'll be able to create cool animated emojis​ based on a scan of your face. For Android users, you can try this Animoji for Phone X app, since it creates stunning emoji of your eyes and face. The app doesn't bring an exact animoji functionality as seen in iPhone X, but it's close to it.

Final Words

iPhone X offers lots of handy features that'll make your smartphone experience easy. It isn't an overpriced piece of metal, and you'd love the device for what it is. So if you're an Android user, and you want to show your friends what the open source operating system can do, then the above iPhone X feature can help you with that. They're simply the best, go grab them now!.

One of the "remake" you'd notice on the new pixel launcher is that the search widget has been moved to the dock and this has been replaced with a weather widget. Since the new pixel launcher hasn't been leaked yet, the good news is that you can setup Nova Launcher to look and feel like the Pixel 2 launcher. But before we get into the how to of this thing, we'd like to remind you that most of the 'Settings' (we are going to use) aren't available in the free version of Nova launcher.

Access Region Restricted YouTube Videos Without VPN or Extension


access-region-restricted-youtube-videos

Except on blocked countries, the video sharing website - YouTube is accessible worldwide. The major reasons why some countries are restricted from accessing YouTube videos is due to hate speech or criticism. Of course there's a workaround to this exasperating issue, as you can access most of the videos on the platform through VPN or proxy servers. But in this article, we're going to show you how to access Geo Restricted YouTube videos without VPN or proxy servers. Before we begin, below are the highlights..
  • Bypass and watch YouTube videos not available in your country.
  • Access geographical restricted YouTube videos
  • Fix this video is not available in your country.
  • Bypass YouTube regional filter without VPN or extension.
When it comes to video streaming, we'd give the credit to YouTube. YouTube is no doubt, the second most popular website globally and it allows its users to upload and even watch numerous videos that are beneficial. If you're addicted to YouTube (who wouldn't be) and you're unfortunate to live in one of the isolated or blocked countries, then you might've been faced with frustrating errors such as "the uploader has not made this video available in your country​" or in most cases, you'd be confronted with "you're not allowed to watch this video, Geo Fencing Restriction".

The main reason why you see this error is because YouTube has region locked filter and most of the videos uploaded on their server is restricted by geographical location and can only be accessed in countries that aren't blocked. Fixing this errors is a bit tricky but yet simple, as the most common method involves using VPN or the popular Hola extension to fake or change your IP address. In as much as this trick works, they can be cumbersome. Hence we're going to show you the best way to watch YouTube videos not available in your country without VPN or extension.

Find Region Restricted YouTube Video URL

To begin with, you'll need to find and copy the URL of the YouTube video you want to watch into a browser. This part only applies to those who are using the official YouTube app. But we'd recommend you to use a third party browser. So open up your Chrome, Firefox or UC browser, login to YouTube and then 'type in' the movie name that you want to watch (which is not available in your region).

access-region-restricted-youtube-videos

Change the Video URL from 'tube' to 'pak'

From here, locate the search bar at the top of the browser and edit the keyword from tube to pak. Then press enter. For example, let's assume the video URL to be..
https://youtube.com/watch?v=watFrxeBNgk
Now erase the keyword tube and change it to pak just like below
https://youpak.com/watch?v=watFrxeBNgk
Note: if you're accessing YouTube with your mobile phone, then make sure to delete the m. For instance if the video URL is
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=watFrxeBNgk
Delete the m. to make it
https://youpak.com/watch?v=watFrxeBNgk
Once you're done, hit the enter key.

Watch your YouTube Video

From here, you will be redirected to eachvideo.com. This website will automatically hide your location to bypass the geo-restriction error. To be sincere, it's just like VPN but the benefit is that you're not installing any third party app or extension. There's also another method to fix "the uploader has not made this video available in your country". Simply download the YouTube video and watch it offline... case closed!. To do this, add ss before the video URL. For example if the video link is https://youtube.com/watch?v=watFrxeBNgk change it to https://ssyoutube.com/watch?v=watFrxeBNgk that's it!.

How To Charge Your Smartphone With Firewood



It's quite exasperating when you decide to go camping​ with your friends and during the road trip, you realised that there is no electricity in your destination. This could make your camping turn sore if you're​ ​been accompanied with your smartphones and camera. But not to be saddened, there's a new innovative "BioLite CampStove" which converts heats emitted from firewoods into electricity to enable you charge your phone while cooking. This way, you wouldn't have to go for camping with your kerosene stove. BioLite CampStove provides a dedicated USB port for charging small electronics and you can set a kettlepot and portable grill on top of it to cook up a wood-wired meal or boiling water.

How it Works

Boilite capmstove works by capturing waste heat from the fire through a heat probe that is attached to the orange powerpack. From here, the heat gets converted into electricity via a thermoelectric generator. This process powers a fan and sends electricity to the USB charging port. The internal fan at this stage injects air back into the burn chamber to improve combustion and ensure a clean and efficient burn. One cool thing about BioLite CampStove is that it came built-in with 2600 mAh battery that charges your device with or without a live fire.


Setup and Use BioLite CampStove

Setting up BioLite CampStove is pretty easy, first you will need to fold the legs out for nested portability. From here, the charging module will hook into place on the side of the honeycomb heat mesh. Now build a pile of twigs, sticks or pellets, (this serves as fuel renewable biomass) and arrange it inside the cylinder. From here, press the power button​ to start/set the fan (into charging unit), then light in a match.


Note that the internal starter battery will help to kick-start the fire before the stove begins generating its own power. And you will have to be careful while dropping in a match, since the cylinder is "deeply narrow" down to the bottom. So be quick, to avoid getting your hands burned. Once the wood caught up, the whirring turbine will fan the smokeless flames. You can now mount your cookware and boil some water or prepare a delicious wood-wired meal while charging your gadgets. If you love this ergonomic​ patented technology (BioLite CampStove), then you'd like to purchase it now for your next camping.
