Sony has launched Xperia 5 with 21:9 CinemaWide display

Sony has been lately playing a different game than the rest of the Android phone manufacturers. Instead of pushing out bezel less devices, Sony is concentrating on the overall experience a user gets from using their phone. Xperia 1 was well received thanks to it's  21:9 CinemaWide™ display. Now Sony is coming with another phone with a similar display - Welcome Xperia 5.

Is Xperia 5 a flagship phone ? Of course it is. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Octacore processor and comes with 6GB of ram and 128GB of storage. It's actually a smaller variant of the Xperia 1 launched earlier.

Like every other flagship phone in the market, Sony has equipped Xperia 5 with Triple Cameras at the back. There is no depth sensor or monochrome lens, instead you get an Ultra wide ( 16mm), Wide  ( 26mm ) and Telephoto ( 52mm ) lens combination. All are 12MP sensors. The main camera comes with an F1.6 aperture lens. The ultra-wide lens has F2.4 aperture while the telephoto one comes with a F2.4 lens. Optical Image Stabilization is available on both Wide and Telephoto lens. When you record video with any of these lenses, you can get smooth videos thanks to Hybrid OIS/EIS video stabilization and SteadyShot™ with Intelligent Active Mode (5-axis stablization). On the front, you get a 8MP sensor with F2 lens.

Xperia 5, like it's bigger brother Xperia 1, supports Cinema Pro "powered by CineAlta" – 21:9 movie recording. 4K HDR video recording is supported as well. Xperia 5 uses BIONZ® XTM for mobile processor which is a toned down version of the processor you see in Sony Alpha Cameras.

I have been using a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for a while now with my Ubuntu 20.04. Everything worked well without any issues until one day the operating system refused to turn on the Bluetooth.

Reduce External Monitor Brightness on Ubuntu 20.04, 21.10

External Monitors are a great addition to any workspace. I have a Full HD Benq one connected with my laptop via HDMI cable to do multi-tasking. What I don't like about this setup is the external screen is still very bright even after setting it to the lowest possible setting via physical buttons present on the monitor. Changing brightness on the Laptop doesn't affect the brightness of the external monitor. However, In Ubuntu, you can adjust the brightness level of any connected monitor by opening up a terminal/command line and entering a few comments. Xrandr is the command we would be using to achieve this. How to change External Monitor Brightness on Ubuntu Linux Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) Enter the command xrandr -q | grep " connected" and press Enter. Find the external monitor name displayed in this command's output. In my case, it is  HDMI-1 To change the brightness enter this command xrandr --output HDMI-1 --brightness 0.5 and press Ente...
