Reasons to buy the new Apple iPhone SE 2020



Apple has finally launched the 2nd Gen iPhone SE ( 2020 Edition ) worldwide. This is currently the cheapest iPhone powered by the A13 Bionic chip which also powers top-end iPhone 11 Pro Max. It is priced at $399 for the base model, making it tempting to pre-order one when it goes live.

 Is it worth buying an iPhone SE 2020? Let's check out the Cons and Pros.

Reasons to buy iPhone SE 2nd Gen

  • A13 Bionic Chip - the fastest chipset you can get in a smartphone 
  • 4K @ 30fps - many high-end Android smartphones still struggle to implement this ( For eg: Google Pixel 4 )
  • iOS 13 and future software updates for years to come and Apple sends them much faster comparing to Android OEMs
  • Small and Compact design - Easy to carry around in the pocket unlike iPhone 11 Pro max and those bulky newer 6.5+ inch Android phones
  • Touch ID Sensor - for those who own older iPhones would love to have this Home button back.
  • Wireless charging - that's a rarity to see in a $399 smartphone
  • IP67 Water and Dust Resistant - there is hardly any Android phone in this price range offer that.
  • 12MP Main Camera with Smart HDR and Computational Photography features similar to what we see on Google Pixel phones and iPhone 11 Series

Reasons Not to Buy an iPhone SE 2020

  • Almost all Android Smartphones in this price range offer multiple cameras at the back. There is only one camera at the back of the iPhone SE which is disappointing to see.
  • Older Design - some love it, some hate it - especially if you have used a bezel-less Android smartphone, you would find it not so good to look at.
  • HD screen only - like the iPhone XR launched a while back, there is no Full HD resolution available. 
  • 7MP front camera with F2.2 aperture lens - Don't expect exceptional selfies from this.
Who is this 2020 iPhone SE made for?

This is 100% made for those people who have been using older iPhones - SE, iPhone 6, 7 and 8. Switching from those older iPhones to newer SE would be an easy transition thanks to the familiar design and User Experience.

[ FIX ] Ubuntu 20.04 Bluetooth doesn't Turn On

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. I could toggle Bluetooth On button from the Settings, but it did nothing.  After spending some time Google Searching why my Bluetooth started not working all of a sudden, and after trying a variety of commands to troubleshoot the problem, I finally found a working fix for this issue. Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T )  and enter below commands one after another.  sudo rmmod btusb sudo modprobe btusb That's it. Your Bluetooth issue would be now solved.  I can guarantee you this problem is going to pop-up every now and then. So copy the above commands to a text file for future uses. Sometimes, even after entering above commands the bluetooth would refuse to turn on. In such cases, just Suspend the system and then wake up it again and check.

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...
