Protect yourself from Coronavirus (COVID-19)

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.

Vivo being a Brazilian telecommunications company, have introduced their new smartphone, named as the Xshot. According to the reads from the sources, the new Vivo Xshot will be the world's first smartphone to feature a fast camera lens with the speed of f/1.8 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization technology on board. Vivo has always been a progressive company, which never looses any opportunity on creating records, and if you remember, Vivo was one of those manufacturer, who offered world's first 2K display handset and also the world's thinnest smartphone, just before Gionee announced Elife S5.5.

 As far as it's design is concerned, the phone will have an aluminum frame around it's sides with smooth touch plastic on the back. According to the internal specifications of the newly announced Vivo Xshot will come out of the box in two versions, one being dubbed itself as the Flagship, featuring a Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, speeding at 2.5GHz, 32 gigabytes of on board expandable storage and three gigabytes of Random Access Memory, another model is named as the Elite version, sporting a 2.3GHz Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, 16 gigabytes of internal expandable memory with two gigabytes of RAM.



Other hardware specs of the phone will remain neutral to both the aforementioned variants, with a 5.2-inches Full High Definition LCD screen of 1080p resolution display, there is a 13 megapixels main camera on the back with dual-tone LED flash light with Optical image Stabilization and 4K video recording facilities over the hood. Where else on the front is sitting an eight megapixels secondary front facing camera with a dedicated LED flash, capable of recording videos at 720p resolution pixels. Alongside, the phone will also feature a non-removable 2,600mAh powered battery, Bluetooth 4.0 and 4G LTE network support, while the flagship will have connectivity to both FDD-LTE and TD-LTE signals. The Vivo Xshot will run the company's own Funtouch Operating System 1.2 based on Android's version 4.4 KitKat, with other proprietary software features.

 Vivo Xshot will ship with a "powerful" Maxim MAX97220 headphone amplifier, Cirrus CS4398 DAC and Texas Instrument TLV320 ADC chip for a really wider audio input bandwidth experience. Unfortunately, the smartphone is said to be a Chinese exclusive at the moment, and is expected to widen it's market around the world, eventually in the coming months. For now, both the models of the handsets are due end of May in China, where the Flagship phone is reportedly priced around 560 United States Dollars and the Elite version for $480.
