Apple then grab new patent Lightning interface or a history Posted: 18 Aug 2014 11:58 PM PDT The new interface is now Apple's interface and data cables Lightning data line of mobile devices, which is Apple's iPhone 5 release after use, but a new patent from Apple's point of view, they are developing a "reversible Universal Serial Bus port connection is "simply means that the new data lines can be both positive and negative plug a USB port, which also shows that you may have to change the data lines. Currently Lightning data lines that we use only the iOS interface device can provide both positive and negative characteristics can be connected, and then the other end of the USB interface is using the traditional interface. But Apple's new patent allows both sides of the interface can use anyway, as shown in the patent, on the dielectric has four contacts on both sides, can support both positive and negative insert. However, this patent although very useful, but is not yet a reality, my friends, only the patience to wait.

Design of Axgio n1 Posted: 18 Aug 2014 11:33 PM PDT When I first saw the front of N1, I felt it like Huawei P7. The corners all of them are sharp but bottoms all are curved. This design makes the phone is not too square. The difference is the top of N1 also is curved but P7 is not. The borders are made of metal, it's same as P7. It's beautiful when you look at it in light. As for Volume keys and power button are located on the left and right sides of the border. There's no need to stretch your fingers to power off the device (especially if it's on the top). Moreover, the super thin bezel is wonderful, the Screen accountings for 71% and you can operate N1 with one hand easily even if it's 5 inch. The back of N1 is completely different from Huawei P7. It's curved unlike P7 is flat. This design gives you better feel when hold it, and makes the phone looks like thinner than real. We can find this kind of design from many brand phones such as HTC one M8，S5 and MOTO X. The only shortcoming is the back camera is a little protruding. But the thickness is only 7.5mm, so a little protruding camera is acceptable. Although the rear cover is made of plastic, it feels luxurious to hold and it's not easy to glue fingerprint. What's more, the rear cover is removable that is convenient to replace battery, SIM and micro-SD. But it's not easy to remove the rear because it's firm. Overall, the design combines the beauty and comfort. Attached Thumbnails
