Having said that, Samsung is now ready to share its cutting edge technology in its latest Galaxy Note 10 phone that promises enhanced user experience.
Design
Style and display
Samsung is here to impress us with its brand new display. The color of the phone is inspired by a range of bold and vibrant hues and is made of durable Gorilla Glass 6. The polished glass material of the phone catches light that creates a premium futuristic aura. The Note 10 is available in three color variants – Aura Glow, Aura Black, and Aura White.
User interface
Samsung’s user interface, One UI, focuses on what matters to the users. The intuitive interface makes your life easier and allows you to operate your phone with much ease, especially when you are multitasking.
Bixby Vision helps you with the things around you like your food, the wine bottle in front of you, the status of your flight, and translation of the words from other languages.
The supportive UI helps you with your daily tasks by learning your daily patterns and taking certain actions automatically. For example, it would automatically turn down the ringer before you hit the bed, turn to hands-free navigation and music as you get in your car, or turn off sounds while you are at work.
The phone also allows you to hear the next day’s schedule and weather. Another most interesting part about the UI is that it allows users to join the UI Beta programme that would enable the users to experience the latest software updates before anyone else and give first-hand feedback.

The phone allows users to experience a cinema-grade viewing experience in bright day light as well as in the dark. The screen is HDR10+ certified coupled with Dynamic Tone Mapping for effective playback with tone. This display is easy on the eyes as it reduces the harmful blue light without compromising color.

Camera
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 has four cameras of which three are rear and one is on the front. The camera brings a user-friendly pro-grade movie technology to a smartphone. It lets you take clearer videos and photos while enabling immediate editing tools to enhance your videos.

It is Bluetooth-enabled, which makes the S Pen a remote control that can be used for navigating through presentations, playing and pausing videos and clicking pictures.

Are you a new homemaker? Want to buy the latest home appliances for your abode? Well, truth to be told, it isn’t an easy thing to do. Selecting home gadgets needs research and great decision making. You need to be smart while shopping for the same because as a consumer you always want to buy the best, and that too in your budget. Achieving the same may not always be possible, however, you can try to do so by employing some of the tips, listed below.
Know your needs
Best home appliances are those that suit your requirements. Therefore, before shopping, make a list of the features that you want in your home appliances, according to your needs. Often, people end up following a trend or buying in the pressure of impressing others. Features like energy efficiency and long-time warranty should be included in your list. Make sure you know what your requirements are. All home appliances come in different height and sizes. If you plan to use you new microwave as an oven, then buy the one that has enough space inside to fit your baking dishes.
Learn from other’s experiences
Before you go for shopping, ask your friends and family about the appliances they are using. Whether it is a front load washing machine, stainless steel microwave or a top end gas range–everyone will have something to share about the product they are using. Some appliances may look perfect on display, but may give trouble when used. The good as well as the bitter experiences of others will help you to make smart decisions. Also read up reviews as much as possible.
Compare prices
Once you’ve made a list of what exactly you and your family needs, it’s time to compare the prices at different stores. Also, don’t miss taking a look at the deal available online, so that you can get the best price after comparison. If possible, wait for the holiday season when the retailers offer best deals. It is the best season to buy appliances as the retailers try to clear off the stock to make space for the upcoming models from the new year. And, it also depends whom do you take along with you to help you make the big decision.
Know the space available
Buy appliances that can fit in the allotted space in your home. If possible, take measurements with you so that you can measure if the appliance you want to buy can fit in the designated space or not. Make sure the doors of the refrigerator or the washing machine do not block the way when opened.
Look beyond the design
Many appliances come with fancy look and attractive colors. But do not get mesmerized with the designs because you can get trapped. Always look for the reviews for that particular model and buy only if the appliance works efficiently. Because not everything that looks great, will work fine.
Dupuytren’s disease is a deformity in which the fibrous tissue beneath the palm and fingers, known as fascia thickens and tightens especially at old age. Here the patient develops knots under the skin which forms a thick cord and brings the finger inward. The patient is unable to straighten it, and the resulting condition is known as “Dupuytren’s contracture.” It interferes with the functioning of the hand and the person suffering from it faces difficulty in performing daily activities. In most of the cases, the patient’s ring finger gets affected by Dupuytren’s disease.
Symptoms of Dupuytren’s disease
The primary sign of Dupuytren’s disease is shortening of palmar fascia or palmar aponeurosis tissue. The symptoms develop gradually and in the beginning, the patients feel a tender lump under the skin. Eventually tough bands of tissue form below the epidermis which makes it difficult to stretch the fingers. The patient shows the presence of unusual dimples or lumps which looks like a small callus. In 50 percent of the cases, both hands get affected, and there are also reports of “Dupuytren’s contracture” in the toes of certain individuals.
Cause of Dupuytren’s disease
The exact cause of Dupuytren’s disease is still not known in the medical world. However, studies point to a connection between open wound (including surgery) in hand with the development of this disease.
Risk factors
There are certain conditions which increase the chance of developing Dupuytren’s contracture. These include the following.
Diagnosis
The doctor diagnoses Dupuytren’s contracture after physically examining the hand. If he notices the presence of dimples, thickened skin, bent finger, or pitted marks, then he may advise you to perform the “tabletop test.” Here the patient places his hand flatly over the table top. If the finger bent on the table, then the doctor suspects the Dupuytren’s disease.
Treatment
At present, there is no permanent cure for Dupuytren’s disease. However, there are surgical and non-surgical treatments available to improve the motility of fingers. In most of the cases, therapy helps to remove the cords from the fingers. Doctors may recommend needle aponeurotomy, enzymatic injections, or surgical removal of knots to improve the condition.
Dupuytren’s disease poses a problem for aged people in performing their life activities. If the disease progresses slowly, and do not cause any pain, the doctor may advise you home remedies like swearing gloves and stretching exercises to manage it.
