Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented reality (AR) are often viewed as technology of the future. From academic research to engineering, design, business, the arts and entertainment, there are many more uses of VR and AR. In the real estate market, VR is becoming more popular among consumers and businesses although creating output is costly and require advance equipment. This led Simon Gemayel, CEO and Founder of HomeSpace360, to utilize smartphone technology to create, share, and display 360 content in 2D and 3D, at a fraction of the cost.


“Technology is the great equalizer. And we want to enable all realtors by democratizing immersive virtual tours through user-friendly technology. With HomeSpace360, we use smartphone technology to bring high quality 3D virtual tours within reach of every marketer,” said Gemayel.

All Pictures were taken in Auto Mode... I had some trouble focusing but so far captures turn out well exposed. The IceKing is focused on first picture while on the second the background is focused. Clearly its rear camera has an aperture size of f/2.0 and so even in low light it does well. Selfies come out clear as you can see but seems there's too much noise reduction.

Lenovo K4 Note Now Available Online Price Specs Philippines

Look what we ave here, Lenovo K4 Note is now available ahead of its scheduled launch.

Lenovo K4 Note Black


Lenovo K4 Note follows Lenovo Vibe X3 in terms of design with its front facing speakers, button and ports placements including Fingerprint sensor on the back although it is made of polycarbonate compared to the metal contruction of the Vibe X3 still exudes executive feel with great grip for its curved back panel.

Lenovo K4 Note Dolby Atmos


Feature-wise, K4 Note also manifest entertainment quality with its 5.5 inch Full HD Display that is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Equipped with 13MP Rear camera with PDAF supported by Dual Tone LED Flash as well as 5MP FF Front camera for Lenovo K4 Note Optics.

Rear Camera Shot. In good light conditions, outputs are good but in low light it will be grainy. Per checking exif, camera has an aperture size of f/2.4 which is a downer since smartphone today even local ones carry at least f/2.0 aperture for better low light performance.

Looking at the selfie camera, it seems more dependable than the rear camera. With f/2.2 aperture it takes in double the light so better outputs in low light. Even in bright backgroud, my face is clear and not dark.

Complete set of connectivity with WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC. Ultra fast LTE is available for on the go internet connection but you do have HSPA+ and 3G just in case LTE is not available in our area. It is Dual Sim Dual standby handset.
