Hope you reach at a conclusive choice from the above comparison. Points to note here is that 

(*) while all three have Gorilla display, the Vanilla S21 has glasstic rear empanelments than the other two which makes it little weird in having hands on. 

(*) Again all three models of Galaxy S21 Series have Samsung's Exynos processors, but Samsung USA is offering Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processors to its customers.

(*) Additionally, all prebooking customers will get Galaxy SmartTag free + Samsung’s E-shop vouchers of Rs. 10000 + Galaxy Watch Active2/Galaxy Earbuds combo + Travel Adapter with a device of your choice. Now, since Samsung is not giving charger in the box, isn’t that a welcome perk of jumbo size?

Signal Vs. WhatsApp Vs. Telegram – Which Private Messaging App is better alternative?

Want to switch off your WhatsApp profile and looking for best alternative private messaging apps? Here I am comparing two relatively new apps – Signal & Telegram, with WhatsApp for making your choice convenient. Even if you are new to these platforms, my review can help you take step by step guide.

Very recently Facebook has made public announcement that its private messaging platform WhatsApp is going to share the user data with other social media websites/apps. WhatsApp has thus updated its privacy policies. A simple question pops out here is: “if you are going to share the confidential information of users, then why are you calling it as privacy?? “

Very clear to say, you or your profile information are no longer secure over WhatsApp. Privacy has actually turned out to be a joke, believe it or not. Many users have started shifting to other alternatives like ‘Signal' private messaging app which assures your privacy better. ‘Telegram’ messaging app has also seen daily surge in number of downloads and increasing users. Let us compare the best features of Signal with that of Telegram and WhatsApp altogether which makes it so exciting for users to quit WhatsApp or other apps.

(1) End-to-End Encryption: Like WhatsApp, messaging through Signal is end to end encrypted with ‘Sealed Sender' and ‘4 digit passphrase' features that ensure high quality data security. That is to say, no third party except the sender and receiver can view, read or breach any part of it by any means. Telegram for PCs and desktops does not provide E2E in its web version by default. You have to enable the secret chats feature while Signal has detailed procedures to use desktops version.

 (2) Group Chat: You can create groups and make multiple admins in Signal messaging platform like WhatsApp. Editing group info is also very similar.

 (3)Media Sharing: Like WhatsApp, you can send/share and receive photos and video clips of all format types through Signal app.

 (4)Desktop Support: WhatsApp runs in PCs and desktops through its ‘WhatsApp Web' feature. Similarly, Signal App is easily accessible through Laptops, PCs and desktops other than Smartphones. Telegram by default is accessed at web.telegram.org.

 (5) Voice/Audio Message: Like recording and sending voice messages in WhatsApp, you can also record and send or receive audio messages in Signal.

 (6) Voice/Video Calling Support: Making voice calls or video calls using high speed internet data by WhatsApp is a well known feature. Signal App also allows voice/video calling through internet with super clarity.

So, from the above comparative analysis, no measure difference is pointed out between Signal and WhatsApp.

 (*) What makes Signal private messaging app better and so much hyped talk of the town is its own adherence to users privacy policies, which WhatsApp is toying with its users off late.

 (*) Signal only stores the personal phone number of the user while Telegram has access to your user ID and saved contacts.

(*) WhatsApp and Telegram share the ‘last seen' and ‘online' data of users, but Signal does not share this information.

 (*) You can download Signal from Google Play Store. Installing and creating your profile is the very same process as WhatsApp. My ratings to Signal from my personal use of the app is 4.5 stars out of 5.

10 Safe Vastu Tips for constructing new homes

 So, here are your best proven vastu compliant safety tips to keep in mind while constructing your new dream home:

* Make sure keep your home east facing. This provides all the positive energy and vibes as well as good health. 

* Make sure your kitchen is in South East direction which is the direction of Fire. 

* Install all your water resources like hand-pumps, tanks and piped water supply to the North. 

* Your Bedroom must be in South West. 

*Your Puja room must be in North East and facing East. 

* Your stairs must be either in West or South West and designed with comfort and safety for elderly persons. This strengthens the financial stability of the house owner. 

* Your balcony area must not be facing South. 

*If you have a number of pets, make sure to construct their sheds/nests to West. 

* Avoid Black colours or extreme dazzling colours while painting your home. 

* Generally, a lot of Yellow color should be used while painting your home as it releases positivity and keeps you vibrant. 

*Never construct toilets at the center of your home. Never keep toilets adjacent to puja rooms/kitchens. It will be best to construct toilets completely separate from residential area. But people do not prefer this nowadays. They want to save time and energy. You can keep toilets to West, may be next to your bedrooms in South West. 

These are simple yet proven vastu remedies for homes as I have learnt from professional scholars. I have shared for everyone's knowledge and well-being. However, readers are requested to consult an astrologer according to the place, time and need they have.
