The best way to prevent the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic illness is by avoiding your exposure to the virus. Clean your hands often, use soap and water for at least 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands more frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

We have been hearing rumors of the company to announce a much cheaper model of iPhone 5C, from yesterday, where today morning, Apple Inc, did exactly the same, by launching their low-cost phone of the year in a new flavor, coming to the store shelves in a new eight gigabytes variant. The American smartphone maker currently added the new phone to the list of European retailers and carriers. United Kingdom's telecommunications and internet provider, Telefónica O2 UK and the French service provider SFR, will both sell the smartphones for free at one Euro respectively, on multi-year contracts, as we go through the latest reads. Apple's official domain from Britain lists the new 8GB iPhone 5C models at a price of 429 British Pound Sterling, about 712 United States Dollars off-contract, while the 16 gigs option will cost you 469 GBP, around 779 USD. Unlike in UK and France, prices in Germany for the new handset is 549 Euros, when compared to the 16GB option for 559 Euros.

As per the leaks, it is rumored that the South Korean manufacturer, LG Corporation's next smartphone will be model named LG D850 and will have a 5.5-inches QHD screen with the resolution of 2560 x 1440 display, marked at 534 ppi. We have got the screenshots proclaiming that the upcoming device will have 2K display. First screenshot is of the lock screen and second one is of the settings tab. It is rumored that LG G3 will run Android's version 4.4 KitKat over the hood. There are now two upcoming handsets that are coming with the 2K displays, first should be the Oppo made Find 7 and now the LG G3. It is expected that the device will be officially announced on 17th of May, 2014. Let's wait and watch for more news about the upcoming device.
It's another article, again with the tags of leaks and Verizon Wireless. The phone you see above is likely to be the South Korean's upcoming Windows Phone for United State's carrier, Verizon, previously codenamed Huron internally. This time too, courtesy of evleaks from Twitter, the upcoming device from Samsung gets a clean face lift in a Press render, wearing the exclusive Verizon's branding over the handset's chassis. As far it's design is concerned, the smartphone has got a physical home button of Samsung's kind with back and search button of either sides, giving you the traditional brushed metal finish on the back battery door. At the moment, the internal specifications, availability or the pricing of the device is disclosed, but going with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, five-inches screen of 1080p resolution display, two gigabytes of Random Access Memory (RAM), a 13 megapixels primary lens and running Windows Phone 8.1 OS will be a safe bet.

Nokia X's 1 Million pre-orders in China, were misleading?
Remember us sharing the Finnish manufacturer's amusement on receiving 1 Million pre-orders from China for their first Android powered smartphone, Nokia X, a couple of days back? And folks, unfortunately all that we reported in the past was fallacious. Well, as new reports come in from WMPoweruser and their sources, the pre-order story was invalid and numbers generated for the phone were from the country's online retailer JD.com, as a part of their instant win contest, where participants went clicking the pre-order button to win the Nokia made X. It was also said, that the process did not actually require any registration or money down from the customers. The handset announced by Nokia at this year's Mobile World Congress trade show will sell in China for about only 100 United States Dollars, off contract, which proves it to be a really affordable handset for this State of East Asia.

LG is reportedly in works of a new smartphone, from the current Lucid series, 3, model named VS876, coming to the Stateside's market and domain with the Verizon Wireless branding inside out. We have a neat leaked Press render of the yet to be official LG unit from a latest tweet of evleaks, Twitter. We have seen the South Korean company announce their second generation LG Lucid 2 for the same carrier back in last year. But this time around the firm seems to have updated their handset, skipping off the capacitive buttons, adding in a Samsung like physical home button in place, narrowed bezels and more rounded edges to the corners. The upcoming phone looks to be a middle ranged Android powered smartphone from LG, running out of the box with Verizon's 4G LTE speeds. We still lack the detailed listing of the handset.
