Almost always it is seen that when you increase the resolution of a video, the frame rate of the video decreases. For example, if the resolution is 1080p and the frame is 60fps (frames per second), and you increase the resolution to 4k, the frame rate will become 30fps. Why does this happen? This particular thing depends on the camera and every camera has its own hardware and software which has some limitations. The frame rate of the camera at a particular resolution depends upon the number of frames the camera is able to process in one second. Capturing a frame, processing each of the individual pixels in the frame and storing them are the steps involved in shooting a video. Whenever the resolution of the image or video is increased, the number of pixels increase drastically. Processing the more pixels means processing more data. And processing more data certainly requires more amount of time. The steps mentioned above in shooting a video have to be done for every single f

They are there just because they are the best way to connect headphones to a mobile phone or any gadget. But wait! We have got Bluetooth now. It might be better than wires and the mess. But we still need the jack! Or do we? Why do we want to remove the jack?  We want to remove headphone jacks because we want slimmer and more tech-filled phones. The thing that really promotes the removal of the headphone jack is Bluetooth. Bluetooth headphones are now widely available. Another way is using the USB headphones. Although this is not what we want, because of some obvious reasons, for now, it is the only option except for Bluetooth.
