OnePlus’ Upcoming Affordable Smartphone Could Have a Quad Camera Setup For the first time ever, OnePlus is prepping to launch a device exclusively meant to be a mid-ranger that is not going to compete with top of the line phones. The smartphone will either be called OnePlus Z or OnePlus 8 Lite and is going to launch soon. Initially, it was believed that the OnePlus Z will have a dual-camera setup, however, later the leaks mentioned that it will have a triple camera module instead. Now the latest report goes against all previous rumors and suggests that it will have a quad-camera on the back.

Hackers Can Now Spy On You Using Light Bulbs A recent study conducted by researchers at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel suggests that hackers can now listen to your conversations from 25 meters away using a light bulb. The near science fictional method is dubbed Lamphone and requires a remote electro-optical sensor that analyzes the changes in the light bulb’s frequency response to sound waves. The optical sensor can be focused on a light bulb using a telescope. The electro-optical sensor analyzes the subtle vibrations on the surface of the light bulb that is run through specially developed algorithms to isolate an audio signal from an optical signal. The output can be then passed through a voice-to-text application like Google Speech to translate it. Moreover, the range of Lamphone primarily depends on the telescope used. The study details, “Lamphone recovers sound optically via an electro-optical sensor which is directed at a han
