Everything You Need to Know About iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

After Loads of leaks and never-ending reams of assumption which proved mostly to be truthful, Apple unveiled iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus at Apple's California event on Tuesday. Apple succeeded to keep most of the specifics about its hardware and software enhancements under cloaks.

Here's Everything You Need to Know About iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Screen Size

Undeniably the most chief difference is larger screens. Apple, which has persistently declined to follow industry tendencies in the past, has now apparently bowed to burden and gone in the direction that most Android device makers have gone. The iPhone 6 has a new 4.7-inch 750x1334-pixel screen, which is significantly bigger than the one on the iPhone 5s, while the iPhone 6 Plus comes in at an even bigger 5.5 inches and 1080x1920 pixels. The 326ppi density stays the same on the 4.7-inch screen, even though Apple now calls it a "Retina HD" screen, while the 5.5-inch model gets a substantial bump up to 401ppi. The iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c both have 4-inch 640x1136-pixel screens.

The bigger of the two new devices uses some software features from the iPad line, and takes benefit of its extra screen space by permitting more content on each screen. For the first time, you can use an iPhone completely in landscape the home screen will rotate, but unlike on iPads, all the icons stay in the same places. There's even an improved keyboard with devoted keys for copy, cut and paste.
 iPhone 6 has a new 4.7-inch screen while the iPhone 6 Plus has even bigger 5.5 inches and screen.

Power

Some might debate that the iPhone 5s was thin enough, and that Apple should have used larger batteries as a substitute of reducing volume further. The iPhone 6 promises up to 14 hours of 3G talktime while the iPhone 6 Plus is rated for an bewildering 24 hours. That's compared to 10 hours on the iPhone 5s and 5c. Standby time remains the same 10 days on the iPhone 6, while the iPhone 6 Plus can last up to 16 days on a single charge.

A lot of the power savings can be accredited to Apple's new A8 SoC and M8 motion coprocessor. Apple has not revealed the chips' specifications or speeds, but has promised 25 percent more CPU power and 50 percent faster graphics, along with remarkable power savings. The A8 is mass-produced on a 20nm process and has 2 billion transistors. The iPhone 5s was the first iOS device to use a 64-bit processor, last year's Apple A7, and also the first to have a devoted motion coprocessor. The iPhone 5c uses the older Apple A6 SoC which was presented with the iPhone 5 two years ago.





Dimensions

Certainly the larger screens mean that both models are taller and wider than their ancestors, but Apple has made the most of that and reduced thickness to pay compensation. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are 6.9 and 7.1mm thick respectively, as opposed to the 8.97mm of the iPhone 5c and 7.6mm of the iPhone 5s and 5, which had felt so much thinner than the 4S when it first launched.

The power button on both models has been moved to the upper right edge, which is stress-free to reach than the top.


Cameras

One zone in which Apple has not worried trying to catch up to Android manufacturers is its cameras. In terms of raw resolution, we've got the same 8-megapixel rating as before. Nonetheless, Apple says the sensor is all new, and has been intended to lock focus much faster. A new "Focus pixels" feature senses light intensity quickly, permitting the autofocus to lock that much faster.

Apple also hypes improved color precision and more progressive noise reduction algorithms. There is committed hardware for image processing. The iPhone 5s camera doesn't have these new features but is still grander to the iPhone 5c camera, which has a single LED flash.

The larger iPhone 6 Plus has optical image steadiness, which actually adjusts the lens to compensate for shaky hands and sudden movements, leading to sharper images and video. The iPhone 6 and 5s use digital stabilization, which is a method of achieving similar results through software.
The front camera now ropes a burst mode and you can panoramas up to 43 megapixels big with the primary camera, which uses the phone's gyroscope to automatically line up the edges of each frame.


Networks

On the less dazzling side, the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been upgraded with high-speed Wi-Fi ac support. They also work on more LTE bands around the world - the total is now up to 20, including the TD 2300 band used in India. The iPhone 5s and 5c also support the Indian LTE band but Wi-Fi n is the highest speed standard supported.

The two new iPhones gain VoLTE (voice over LTE) support and carrier aggregation, which allows multiple bands to be used at the same time to increase throughput.


NFC and sensors

Apple's new Apple Pay feature works using a combination of NFC and fingerprints. You can tap your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus to a payment station while holding your finger to the Touch ID sensor to approve payments. This feature won't be available on older iPhones counting the iPhone 5s. The iPhone 5c lacks the Touch ID sensor, so transactions still need to be authorized with old-style passwords.

There's also a new barometer, which helps health and fitness apps track your movements. The new sensor allows recognition of altitude so the device knows when you're walking and when you're climbing stairs.

Software

The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will come with iOS 8 preinstalled. The new OS introduces a number of features including Health, a new app that helps track your activity and nutrition; Photos, an all-new photo management and editing tool; more intelligent Spotlight searches; voice clips in the Messaging app; an improved keyboard with suggestions; and loads of new frameworks for developers to build on.

Most of these features should translate well to older iOS devices, but some, such as Apple Pay, require specific hardware that older products won't have.


Pricing and Availability

The iPhone 6 replaces the iPhone 5s at the $199 price point (on contract in the US), but the iPhone 6 Plus comes in at a new $299 level. These are the starting prices for 16GB models, and the increase is still $100 for each bump in capacity.

Fascinatingly, Apple has dropped the 32GB mid-tier models and you'll now get 64GB at the same price. Another $100 will get you 128GB instead of 64GB. Both models will be available in the same three colors as the iPhone 5s: gold, silver and space grey.

The iPhone 5s will continue to be available in 16GB and 32GB models. While the 16GB model drops to $99, the increase to 32GB will cost only $50 more. Only the 8GB version of the iPhone 5c will remain available, but it will be free on contract in the US.

Apple had primarily put a date of September 26 on its India website, which seems to have been a mistake, as it has now been updated to show October 17. It is not clear if this applies to the iPhone 6 Plus as well, though this is unlikely considering reports of production issues that have forced supplies. Pricing in Indian rupees is not yet known. Apple will most likely announce prices and retail tie-ups in the week prior to the launch.

Recover Deleted Files. Image Source: Internet

Have you ever accidentally deleted some unforgettable photos from your computer, camera or pen drive? Have you ever lost essential files because of a system or software crash? Let us assume the worst case scenario- that you accidentally deleted a file and then emptied your recycle bin as well. How do you recover the file now? In such circumstances, the trick to be able to recover deleted files could be a lifesaver.

So Here's How to Recover Permanently Deleted Files.

Generally, once a file has also been deleted from the recycle bin, it can no longer be accessed by windows, but still remains somewhere on your hard drive in the form of ‘Dead files’. Normally, such dead files remain on your drive for a number of days (Sometimes even for weeks or months) until they are overwritten by new files or data that you create on your system. Luckily, such dead files, although considered out-of-the-way to the normal user, can in point of fact be recovered using data-recovery tools like Recuva, available as a free download from here.

Once you realize that you have accidentally deleted or lost important data, it is recommended that you start the recovery process as soon as possible, to prevent the deleted files from being overwritten accidentally.
Once you have installed Recuva on your system, the Recuva Wizard will automatically start. The interface of the Recuva Wizard makes it very easy and straightforward for you to recover your deleted files. Just follow the guidelines on the screen and click on the next button to continue.

Recover Deleted Files Using Recuva


At the next screen, you need to select the type of the file you have accidently deleted that you hope to recover and click on the Next button. The more precise you are in terms of the file information you provide to Recuva, the better are your probabilities of being able to recover the files.

Recover Deleted Files Using Recuva


Now you need to select the location where the files was before they were deleted. You can choose a precise folder on your computer or external drive (Hard drive, pen drive, camera or iPhone), or even the entire system in the event you are unable to remember the exact location. Click on the Next button to continue.

Recuva will now search for all available dead files in the folder that you have selected. Normally, the scan does not take more than a few seconds.

Once Recuva has found the dead files, it will investigate them to figure out how damaged they are. If the dead files have already been written by new files, it may not be possible to recover them. Otherwise, most of the dead files that are found will be easily recovered.

You need to now select the files you wish to recover from the list of dead files that Recuva finds, and then click on the Recover button.


Recover Deleted Files Using Recuva

Within a few seconds, Recuva will recover the selected dead files, and will allow you to save them anywhere on your computer. It is suggested that after recovering the files, you should save them in a drive other than the place where the original files were located. Once you install Recuva on your computer, you can delete your files confidently because you know you can get them back.

Google adds which may possibly be the best feature in Gmail.


Sick of all the promotional or spam email. Not a problem now. Google today released a well-ordered feature for those who like to moderate the number of emails they receive. Google declared today that it’s adding a new “unsubscribe” link at the top of emails in Gmail making it stress-free to unsubscribe from mailing lists.

Most of us have searched for the unsubscribe button in an email that marketers often conceal at the lowermost and making it difficult to find. Making the unsubscribe option easy to find is a victory for everyone .Some users might have observed the feature progressing out in past weeks, but it look as if Google has now made it live for all.

This doesn't work for all types of email. Obviously, it only works for those that take account of an Unsubscribe link in the first place, but Google also records that the feature depends on Gmail’s new default filters: emails found in the Promotions, Social, or Forums tabs.


Google points out that this not only inspires users to keep their inbox mess-free, but it also helps the writers of the content: “For email senders, their mail is less probable to be marked as spam.” Conversely, we would suggest that if you didn’t subscribe to a mailing list but you’re still getting emails anyway, then mark them spam to have a clean inbox.

Apple is putting the final touches on iOS 8 ahead of its fall release, and while previous betas conveyed some surprising new features, the release of iOS 8 beta 5 is mostly full of tiny pulls, bug fixes and a few small new additions.

iOS 8 beta 5 is accessible beginning immediately for developers with compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. It can be installed as an over the air (OTA) update or it can be downloaded from Apple’s developer gateway and installed using iTunes.


According to sources, Apple has another beta prearranged for developers, with iOS 8 beta 6 due to be released on August 15th.

Those who would fancy to go back to a stable iOS build and wait for the public iOS 8 release can roll back to the latest version of iOS 7.1 until the ultimate version of iOS 8 is released in the future of Apple’s iPhone 6 launch.

Simple Tricks to Improve your iPhone's Battery Life.

Want to improve your iPhone's battery life? Sick of running out of juice around 8pm? Follow these tricks for all-day iPhone battery life

What is the most essential technology to any smart phone? It’s not the screen quality or size. It’s not the storage space or looks. It’s the battery backup. Because without a good battery backup it doesn’t matter how advanced your phone is, because if won’t work for too long. That’s the reason why iPhone is the most awesome device in the world for the first half of the day, and a great trouble for the latter.But I’ve started using a number of tricks to make my battery life last longer.

These tricks will not only enhance you battery life, but also improve the general performance of your much-loved iPhone. Most of the tricks listed below are simple to put into practice and should.

Here are few Simple Tricks to Improve your iPhone's Battery Life.


Those Motion Effects. Stop them.

The parallax effect is the name given to the faintly moving icons and notifications in iOS 7 when you move your iPhone. Apple fashioned the parallax effect to give the flat icons some depth. On the other hand, as with any process that requires movement, the graphic capabilities needed to do this suck up battery life. In order to disable this effect go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion > and toggle the switch to ON (green).

Disable the Dynamic Backgrounds.

An additional motion feature in iOS 7 is the dynamic backgrounds. These are the wallpapers that have slight motion in them. They look great, but that motion is sucking into your valuable battery life. It’s most excellent to use a still image for your wallpaper. To do away with of the dynamic images go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > Choose a New Wallpaper and select a wallpaper from the “Stills” selection.

Turn on the Auto-Brightness.

Increased screen brightness takes up a great amount of battery life. This is because the added light required to light up your screen requires a lot of energy, exhausting your battery faster. Screens commonly require less light in darkness and more when it’s bright outside. To adjust your iPhone’s brightness levels automatically go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > and toggle the Auto-Brightness switch to ON (green).

Or Reduce the Screen Brightness Manually.

 If Auto-Brightness isn’t doing great for you, you can always set the brightness levels on your own. Go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > and decrease the brightness level by adjusting the slider. This will help you in a big way to save your battery backup up to a great extent.

Turn Off the Bluetooth.

The most recent iPhones have Bluetooth 4.0, also known as Bluetooth Low Energy, or BLE. And while BLE uses a lot less power than previous versions of Bluetooth it still takes up power unnecessarily when you leave it on and don’t plan on connecting to any Bluetooth devices. To quickly switch Bluetooth off simply bring up the Control Center. Click the Bluetooth button so it turns black. This disables Bluetooth.

Turn Off Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi is another connection tools we usually don’t need when out. It’s more essential when we are in our home or office, as using Wi-Fi doesn’t drain into our data plans. But keeping it enabled all the time means our phones are frequently looking to join Wi-Fi networks as we roam across the city or take a trip on the train. The result is low battery backup. To quickly switch Wi-Fi off simply bring up the Control Center. Click the Wi-Fi button so it turns black. This disables Wi-Fi.
 

Stop Background App Refresh.

Background App Refresh is a feature in iOS 7 that enable apps to learn when you regularly check them. This allows the apps to calculate when you'll next check them and sees them craving their servers right before you do so they can pull the latest data and have it ready and waiting for you when you open the app. It’s a really versatile feature with the exception that it leads to draining your battery since these apps are running in the background.

To disable Background App Refresh go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh >  and toggle the switch to OFF (white) or toggle individual apps ON or OFF.

Switch Off App Location Services.

Location Services allows apps to know where you using GPS coordinate or Wi-Fi triangulation. This is helpful for a number of apps, but it sucks all the battery power.

To save battery go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > and toggle the switch to OFF (white) to turn off all Location Services (not recommended) or toggle individual apps access ON or OFF.

Turn Off System Location Services.

Just because you’ve tweaked every app access to Location Services doesn’t mean you can’t get some further battery savings from disabling the feature in other places. The core of iOS uses Location Services for many other purposes and some of them are absolutely meaningless. You don’t need them! So turn them off.

Settings > Privacy > Location Services > and scroll down until you see System Services. Tap that and toggle the switches to OFF (white) to disable individual system Location Services. I suggest disabling Diagnostics & Usage and Location-Based iAds.

Turn Siri Off.

Siri is always functioning in the background as a default on iOS 7. She’s just sat there waiting for you to speak to her meaning she’s always using up a little amount of battery in the background. It’s not helpful, particularly if you don’t use her, plus it isn’t hard to just turn her on by yourself.

You need to head into Settings > General > Siri and then turn off the Raise To Speak feature. Now you can’t call her to get into Siri but you can still do it with the home button.
 
There is an option to switch your iPhone battery to display as a percentage in its place. It’ll facilitate you keep a proper eye on the battery you’ve got left on your phone and know when to act with the tips above.

In every iOS release, Apple puts in a lot of exertion to not just add typical features like Continuity, Extensions, but to also improve iOS’ already remarkable set of accessibility tools. In this post, we roll out all new Accessibility features Apple added in iOS 8

All the new features Apple added in iOS 8.

Here are All the new features Apple added in iOS 8.


1. Natural Sounding VoiceOver.

Existing versions of iOS have a robotic-sounding VoiceOver that doesn’t feel as natural as OS X’s speech synthesis system. Apple is bringing Alex, its natural-sounding voice on the Mac to iOS. Alex will work with all of iOS’s spoken audio technologies except Siri which includes VoiceOver, Speak Selection. In real meaning, Alex is a substitute for the robotic-sounding voice that controls VoiceOver.

2. Speak Screen.

Speak Screen is a new feature in iOS 8, that speaks out the contents of the screen including text, buttons, labels etc. This feature will be a blessing to visually impaired users who may have issues reading text on their iPhone and/or iPad and can be triggered by a simple gesture. iOS 7 already has a similar feature called Speak Selection and It should be noted that Speak Screen is basically different from Speak Selection. Speak Selection  works only with text that is selected at the time.

3. Enhancement to Zoom.

 iOS has had zoom since moderately a few versions, that lets you zoom into the screen and then move around with the help of gestures. The feature is now more refined, users now have the ability to specify which part of the screen is zoomed in, as well as adjust the level of the zoom, and the keyboard appears in its normal size even when zoom is active.

4. Addition of Grayscale.

In addition to a pseudo-theme Invert Color. Apple in iOS 8 is adding a second pseudo-theme to the system with Grayscale that provides the entire user interface in gray scale rather than color.

5. Guided Access Improvements.

Guided Access is an accessibility feature that lets you limit your iOS device to a single app with a passcode, and disable unnecessary gestures, and hardware buttons. With iOS 8, Guided Access lets you use Touch ID for verification when quitting an app. Apple also had a feature that lets users configure a time limit for Guided Access, after which all parts of iOS are reachable without the need for any passcode.

Guided Access plays an significant role in businesses, offices and schools where iPads are set up and used to run just a single application. Guided Access’s new features are basically game-changing, crucial tools for educators.

6.Braille Keyboard. 

Apple has added support for a 6 dot Braille keyboard throughout the system. This feature involves a devoted Braille keyboard that will decode 6-dot chords into text.

7. Hearing Aids “Made for iPhone”.

Apple has several partners that manufacture Made for iPhone hearing aids that connect to the iPhone via Bluetooth, and provide a lot of accessibility features. Apple in iOS 8 has enhanced its Made for iPhone Hearing Aids software so that now users who use hearing aids and have multiple devices now can easily switch between them.  The user can also select which device they’d like to connect to, if there are more than two devices paired. 

8. Third Party Keyboards.

Apple has the same keyboard that shipped with the original iPhone in 2007. The problem is that the key caps are too small and the glyphs too hard to read.Apple’s Extensibility framework lets third-party developers build their own custom, system-wide keyboards. This opens up the possibility of improving the default keyboard’s key size, spacing and organisation. Basically with the new API, though, third party developers can create completely customized keyboards that users can use instead of the stock one.

Conclusion.

Apple’s dedicated loyalty for improving Accessibility year after year deserves the supreme praise, and 2014 is no different. Apple already had one of the best set of accessibility features in the smartphone and tablet business, and with iOS 8, it further improves upon these features to make iPhones and iPads even more functional for everyone.

Boost your Phone's Volume with a Simple Trick.

There are a huge number of D.I.Y object on the internet, some better than the others. I read several such articles every day, exclusively for the sake of increasing my knowledge reservoir of difficult to understand solutions. Every now and then, one or the other seems so simple and easy that it makes me believe that I am the biggest idiot for not thinking of that.

Here I am going to reveal a couple of such tricks.

How to Boost your Phone's Volume with a Simple Trick. 


If you crave to boost the volume of the music or audio from your Mobile device, then here’s an awesome do-it-yourself key created by @nnnnnnnn a Twiiter user.


All you need is two plastic cups and a paper towel roll.

Image posted by the Twitter user mentioned above.


I gave it a shot, and found that it really works. IT REALLY WORKS.

 In my case [for Sony Xperia P] i had to keep the cellphone upside down as its speakers are at the right top side. It doesn’t really sound better, but it did make it louder, but i notice that you can make it sound better by merely adjusting the music equalizer.

This is a very useful as well as helpful way out if you don’t want to buy a speaker for your device.
And you can always give it a cool exterior design (provided that you are talented enough).


The next trick is very simple and you have probably tried it. Equipped with nothing but a simple glass, you can double the sound coming out of your smartphone. But does it sound better? Obviously No, Duh! It‘s not like it’s a substitute for the cheapest of speakers in the market. But if you ever find yourself situation where you will need a loud sound for instance needing to blow up a conference call just a little then this simple yet powerful trick may prove handy.

How to Boost your Phone's Volume with a Simple Trick.

According to the tech giant which is famous for its world class smartphone that is the iPhone, Apple Saves the World Every Day.



Apple has posted its most recent iPhone 5s ad campaign, called “Dreams,” to its YouTube channel. The latest ad shows how the products are engaged around the world to do a variety of tasks away from the essentials like email and web browsing. The ad shows several iPhone owners using their devices in a mixture of professional as well as personal quest ranging from  medicine, to art, to fighting fires.

The ad with the tag line as “You’re more powerful than you think” is set to Jennifer O’Connor’s new single “When I Grow Up,” which was released on iTunes earlier this week and is available for download on iTunes now.

Here’s how Apple is Saving the World day after day.




For a full list of the apps used in the ad check out, 9to5Mac’s summary.

How Apple is Saving the World day after day.

HP is partnering with Fashion designer Michael Bastian and with a retailer called Gilt to put together an Android- and iOS-compatible smartwatch. The Smartwatch which will be designed by Michael Bastian is described as "Michael Bastian Smartwatch engineered by Hewlett-Packard," by Gilt.


The luxurious work of art will feature a circular, 44mm stainless steel case with a reasonably aggressive sporty design and swappable straps that are black rubber, brown leather, olive green nylon and a limited edition black. It’s hard not to notice that its shape possess a little similarity to the Moto 360 Smartwatch.

Have a look at HP's Magnificent New Smartwatch in the Image below.

HP's Luxury Smartwatch Looks Surprisingly Nice.


The software will be provided by HP, which may point that the Smartwatch won’t be a single OS believer. HP will also add the watch's smart features, which will take account of notifications like email, text and calls, along with sports update and other apps. It'll also put forward music controls and display weather forecasts.

Keeping in mind that how basic its function set is, it's doubtful that Gilt will be positioning this as anything other than a high-tech fashion accessory. We believe that the watch will maintain both Android and iOS, and will be controlled by means of an app. The company's move seems analogous to Pebble's, with most of the customization done through an app in its place of the device itself.

HP, Gilt and Michael Bastian team up on new Smartwatch


In accordance with Fashionista, The prompting by HP of the doubtful partnership gave an idea to bring in a fashion designer. From there, Gilt brought Bastian on board, who took care of the design while HP worked on the tech inside. But there are no other details like the type of display, memory or pricing of the product but I believe that it will cost you a good amount.


The Smartwatch is reportedly arriving this fall, Will HP succeed in building the hardware, software, and applications for a product? We'll find out this fall. Stay Connected.

"iPhone 6" Concept by Ciccarese Design.

In addition to the rumours and assumptions related to Apple's greatly expected "iPhone 6" unveiling, a doubtful report on earlier today claims that Apple to launch iPhone 6 on October 14.

MacRumors, in a report quoting an internal Apple Retail Store meeting, suggests that the Cupertino-based giant might be planning to launch the much anticipated iPhone 6 on October 14, which happens to be a Tuesday - a day when Apple habitually makes its declarations, followed by the release generally the same Friday.

Also Read: Alternative to iOS and Android: Ubuntu for Android.


Though the new iPhone 6 may first appear in October assuming this information is on the money, Apple in point of fact would introduce the phone at an occasion planned for September 16, according to the source.

For the past many years, Apple has usually unveiled the new iPhone in September and then launched it before the month ends. That line of attack has allowed the company to apply sales of a new iPhone to the September quarter to help increase economic results before the quarter comes to an end. Launching the iPhone 6 in October would put a depression in Apple's economic fourth-quarter results.

Apple is likely to launch two redesigned iPhone 6 models that are a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 with many look forward for a slimmed-down profile, superior components like an "A8" processor and perhaps more committed storage. A believed iPhone 6 logic board leak last week suggested the insertion of 802.11ac Wi-Fi and NFC support, though the rumour is unconfirmed.

According to MacRumors' source, Apple wants to push release up earlier in the week because of high customer demand and heavy supply of the product as a result of greater than before production.

Recently, a report suggested that because of production issues the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 launch might be pushed to December. Besides, the report also said Apple would introduce its long-rumoured smartwatch  (rumoured to be called iTime), together with the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 (also rumoured to be called the iPhone Air), in December.

While it is not clear why Apple changed its tradition and is waiting for October to lash out its brand new smart phone. In addition to a larger screen, both versions of the iPhone 6 are likely to feature a thinner side view, a faster A8 processor, and an enhanced camera.

When we talk about Operating Systems for mobile phones and tablets, two names comes in our mind right away that are Android and iOS, the most noticeable mobile operating systems presently available.

Android is developed by Google and can be set up on a very wide range of devices from different manufacturers. Thanks to the fact that Google creates the code for much of Android freely available, anyone from an individual to big companies can build on top of the Android platform. iOS, on the other hand is developed by Apple and works only on precise Apple hardware, like the iPhone and iPad.

While we are unsure that is Google has been delicately hinting that the version number will be a nice round 5.0, we don’t really know what the name of Android 5.0 is going to be in spite of the fact we know it will start with the letter “L”. Nevertheless, just hours before the keynote is to be delivered at I/O, Bulgarian tech insider Nixanbal has said that it has it on good power that the Next version of Android apparently confirmed as Google Android 5.0 Lollipop.


There’s not any further information about the genuine software besides the actual name, however we are expecting Google to be modify the Android interface to some extent, if only of the core Google apps. Rumor has it that Sundar Pichai, head of Android, will be giving a promo of Android 5.0 as part of his crucial delivery, and while it doesn’t appear ready for bulk consumption, should give us a pretty good idea of what to expect in the near future

So, you would like to work for Google, hmm? You’ve heard concerning their high pay, remarkable benefits and distinctive corporate culture and now you would like to Work for Google. Well, you are not unaccompanied. Google receives a lot of job applications; in actual fact, in one week only they reported being sent over 75,000 of them. The question is, in the middle of this firm competition, how can you set yourself away from others and get yourself a dream job? What does Google look for in their possible new hires?

Here are 7 things Google looks for in their workforce:


1. Cognitive skill Is appreciated Above All Else

Cognitive skill does not mean IQ. Google is searching for those with the capability to learn new things. They crave for people who can process data on the fly and get used quickly to new situations.

Google uses a cautiously designed and carefully tested behavioural interview process to assess a candidate’s cognitive skills. To train for such an interview, consider doing some imaginative thinking puzzles which force you to resolve problems through outside-the-box thinking.

2. Evolving Leadership

Google values evolving leadership over usual leadership. This means that they would rather see an example of where you took the lead on your own inventiveness, as opposed to hearing that you were class president or team leader. They want to see that you can show the way without being assigned to fulfil such a role, and, almost more significantly, that you are okay with relinquishing that authority when it is suitable to do so. Google is very team-oriented, and in many ways avoids a usual employee chain of command. They want people who can move in and out of leadership positions on the fly.

3. Humbleness

Google wants people who are confident in their abilities, but humble enough to know when to yield to a better idea. Lazlo Bock, Google’s senior vice president of people operations, put it this way: “You need a big ego and small ego in the same person at the same time.” You must be able to acknowledge and learn from your failures.

4. Ownership

Google wants employees who take ownership over the tasks they are assigned; those who are passionate about resolving problems and pushing the company forward. They feel a sense of responsibility which drives them to conquer obstacles. In other words, they do not want people who view working for them as just a paycheck, they want people who see their work as an extension of themselves.

5. Expertise

According to Bock, while expertise is vital, especially for more technical positions, it is actually the least significant of the qualities that they look for in an perfect candidate. Often a so-called “expert” will, when presented with a problem, default to the way they have always done things, as opposed to trying new techniques. Google prefers those that can show off their expertise in ground-breaking ways.

6. Deeds ahead of Your Degree

Bock said that the “proportion of people without any college education at Google has increased over time.” In fact, on some Google teams, up to 14% of the members do not possess college degrees. He went on to add, “G.P.A.’s are worthless as a criteria for hiring, and test scores are worthless…We found that they don’t predict anything.”

Obviously , none of this is to say that good grades and a relevant college degree are not important in landing a job at Google, especially since many positions there need advanced math, computing and coding skilfulness. It is just to say that while these things are a great initial point, Google doesn’t consider that they tell the whole story.

 7. Demonstrate, Don’t Say

Google desires to see what you can create. For example, If you are a programmer, you are more probable to get a job by showcasing your code itself than by rolling off your remarkable work history or industry certifications. They want to see obvious examples of your expertise, like an open source project that you contributed code to or an innovative approach you took to a difficult project. Ultimately, if you say you know how to do something, you’d better be geared up to back that up.



Google is looking away from usual qualifications and searching for those that know how to innovate, learn and work efficiently within a team. If you think that you’ve got what it takes, then don’t hesitate to apply for your dream job. Even if your sights are set somewhere else, showcasing these qualities will help you to be a more eye-catching candidate in any job hunt.
