Let's get to know about some more terms today.


  1. GorillaGlass

It is an alkali-aluminosilicate thin sheet glass engineered specifically to be thinner, lighter and more damage resistant. Today, most of the high-end smartphones use this glass to shield their screens from scratches while not hampering the quality of the displays. 
  2. Wi-Fi Direct
    • Wi-Fi Direct’ is a technology that allows Wi-Fi devices to talk to each other without the need for any wireless access points (hotspots). Recently, there was news that 'Wi-Fi Direct' has been included as part of DLNA specifications.
  3. DLNA
    • DLNA or Digital Living Network Alliance is a non-profit collaborative trade organization established by Sony in June 2003, and has more than 250 member companies in the mobile, consumer electronics, and PC and service provider industries. Many electronic devices including TVs, Smartphones, and Portable Media Players are ‘DLNA Certified’ which means that they can interconnect with each other effortlessly.
