The iPhone XS and XS Max just destroyed the iPhone X – and every Android phone – in benchmarks

The first iPhone XS and XS Max reviews are out, which means the first official benchmarks are also available, comparing the 7nm A12 Bionic chip to the best chips powering the hottest Android phones in town. Until now, we only saw leaked Geekbench scores for the A12 Bionic, which revealed the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR will all be a lot faster than the competition, but thanks to a new review we have a bunch of other benchmark comparisons available.
The folks at Tom’s Guide put the iPhone XS and XS Max through a variety of tests, including Geekbench 4, 3D Mark Slingshot Extreme, and GFXBench 5.0, and also measured video editing speeds as well as app opening times.
Android phones only managed to beat the new iPhone in the 3DMark Slingshot Extreme, with the OnePlus 6, Galaxy Note 9, and Galaxy S9+ scoring better in the graphics test than the new iPhones.

The new iPhone XS models won everything else, crushing the competition at intensive tasks such as transcoding a 2-minute 4K video clip to 1080p.
The conclusion is simple, and not at all surprising:
Based on our testing, the A12 Bionic processor inside the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max make these the fastest phones you can buy. Android phones powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chip are speedy, but they are a step behind Apple’s phones.
What’s more interesting is that the iPhone XR packs the same A12 Bionic as the XS phones, which means the cheaper 2018 iPhone will be just as fast as the XR — the iPhone XR does have only 3GB of RAM, 1GB less than the XS versions. The comparison doesn’t mention the XR because the phone hasn’t been released yet.
The only Android phone to ship with a 7mm chip under the hood will be the Huawei Mate 20 Pro that’s set to launch next month. With Huawei caught cheating in benchmarks recently, reviewers will pay particular attention to the Mate 20’s scores when it comes out.

What is Li-Fi technology ..Let's know all about Li-Fi

Li-Fi  (Light Fidelity) , a ground-breaking light-based communication technology, which makes use of light waves instead of radio technology to deliver data . With the invention of  new Li-fi technology , you will soon find light bulbs of your car, light lamps in your room, lights in subway, flashlight of your mobile and any other light source are providing you  internet access  at very  high speed . It is so far measured to be about  100 times faster  than some Wi-Fi implementations, reaching speeds of 224 gigabits per second ! (Quite Amazing , Right ?) So what exactly is Li-Fi and how does it work ? Li-Fi is the use of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to transmit information at very high speeds. This is in contrast to established forms of wireless communication such as Wi-Fi which use traditional radio frequency (RF) signals to transmit data. Li-Fi is a Visible Light Communications (VLC) system for data tran...

How much water should a normal, healthy adult drink on a daily basis to avoid dehydration?

How much water should you drink each day? It's a simple question with no easy answers. Studies have produced varying recommendations over the years, but in truth, your water needs depend on many factors, including your health, how active you are and where you live. Although no single formula fits everyone, knowing more about your body's need for fluids will help you estimate how much water to drink each day. How much water do you need? Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water. So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need?  The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly about 13 cups (3 liters) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is about 9 cups (2.2 liters) of total beverages a day. You may need to modify your total...
