Poco M3: Design and Display In terms of design, the Poco M3 features a distinct design language than some of the other smartphones out there. The back of the device comes with a textured finish and incorporates a rectangular camera block, housing the camera module and the Poco branding, which spans the width of the device. Towards the front, the phone has a 6.53-inch IPS LCD display with support for FHD+ resolution and Widevine L1 certification....

Let’s take a closer look at the specifications for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and find out how it fares with the last generation flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 865 (and Snapdragon 865+). Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Specifications 1....

Qualcomm X70 5G Modem with AI – How is it different? We have seen AI implementation on mobile processors for a while, but with the Qualcomm X70 5G, we are witnessing an AI processor dedicated to network management for the very first time. The X70 5G modem uses this section of the modem to mmWave Beam management using AI algorithms developed by Qualcomm. This results in better signal coverage and strength indoors....

The RealMe 2 Pro comes with a 6.3-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1080p. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 octa-core chipset, 4GB, 6GB or 8GB of RAM, 64/128GB of onboard storage which can be expanded through a MicroSD card slot and a 3500mAh battery.

The camera arrangement on the RealMe 2 Pro houses two sensors on the rear — a regular 16-megapixel f/1....

And this time they are clashing in the Rs 17,000-20,000 price segment. The contenders are the newcomer Realme 7 Pro and the bestselling Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. The Realme 7 Pro starts at Rs 19,999 while the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max starts at Rs 16,999, but has its top variant at Rs 19,999 as well. This makes them both candidates for anyone in the market for a smartphone with a budget of about Rs 20,000....

For some context, we used the Realme Band alongside the Mi Smart Band 4 throughout the review period in order to have a reference or benchmark. Design and Comfort The Realme Band looks like any other fitness tracker out there. A rectangular module with a display attached to straps on either side. You don’t really expect a fitness tracker, especially at this price point to score big on uniqueness so it’s certainly not a major con....

It follows the core philosophy of the brand, which is providing quality products at affordable prices, and it does it just right. We used the Realme Buds Wireless for around a week and even compared it to more expensive counterparts, and if we have to sum up our experience, in short, it’s fantastic! Design and Build Quality Realme has been consistent with its design choices for its accessories and the Realme Buds Wireless follows the same tradition....

They come with a 300mAh battery case, that promises to deliver up to 12 hours of battery for music listening and also use double-click to activate Xiaomi’s Xiao AI virtual assistant. And a single tap on the earbuds allows for easy play and pause option....

Those were the words of our CEO, Raju PP, when Xiaomi announced the price of the Redmi Note 10S. Now, at Rs 14,999, the phone was very competitively priced. But then Redmi is not known for competitive pricing. It is known for killer “the-competition-has-nothing-remotely-like-this” pricing. And the Note 10S seemed to be just short of it. It was very competitively priced, we repeat, but the likes of Realme and Samsung (its main rivals in the zone) would have been more concerned than rattled by the device‘s price tag....

No, this is not a spiritual saga – it is still a gadget review. A review of a device that is very good on its own, but perhaps bit off a little more than it could chew when it compared itself with the biggest names in cell town. We are talking, of course, of the Yutopia, the latest and – yes, we might as well say it – greatest device from Micromax’s sister YU brand, which completed a year of an extremely eventful existence....

Honestly, though, we think they could have just as well titled it “Stick Olympics,” as most of the sports covered in it seem to derive their gameplay from titles from the folks at Stick Sports, who are behind iconic games like Stick Tennis, Stick Soccer and are best known in India for their super casual, super addictive take on the Gentleman’s Game, Stick Cricket. But to get back to basics, the game is available as a free download on iOS and Android....

Here are the highlights of the report: We have a new number – all hail Samsung As per the report, Samsung has recaptured the number one position from Xiaomi. The brand recorded a very impressive 32 percent year on year growth to take a market share of 24 percent. The report attributes Samsung’s good performance to very good supply chain management, hitting new price points, and very aggressive online push – Samsung actually had its highest ever online contribution in its online portfolio....

Samsung Galaxy A10 Specifications The Galaxy A10 comes with a 6.2-inch HD+ Infinity-V display. As the name suggests, the device features a waterdrop notch at the top that houses the front camera, which is why Samsung calls it the Infinity-V display. Under the hood, it is powered by an Octa-Core Exynos 7884 chipset, paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage (expandable up to 512GB using a microSD card)....

In spite of what the Galaxy A9’s camera muscle might suggest, the rest of the phone is more a mid-ranger than a high-end flagship. It has a 6.3-inch 1080p OLED screen and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 octa-core chipset. There’s up to 8GB of RAM, 128GB of onboard storage which is expandable, and a 3800mAh battery which does support quick charging. The Galaxy A9’s biggest highlight is, of course, its set of camera sensors....

The Korean smartphone giant has added yet another star to their ever-growing Galaxy lineup and this time, it’s for the “On” budget series. The new Galaxy On8 will be exclusively available on Flipkart in India and features impressive specifications such as 3GB of RAM, Super AMOLED Full HD display, all for an affordable price tag. To begin with, the Galaxy On8 flaunts a brushed metal body and measures merely 7....

Looks like their main focus is on the S20 series, and the limited stock of the Z Flip can also be a factor as to why it may be coming to India at a later stage. Also, since Samsung manufactures its phones locally, India may not be having the facility to manufacture the Z Flip which can also be a factor contributing to the delay. Anyhow, let’s focus on the Galaxy S20 series for now....

The listing has been removed since then, but you can see in the above screenshot the cached page. It’s quite weird that the device has first popped up at a place where one would usually expect camera equipment to be up for sale. The listing describes the Galaxy View as Samsung’s biggest Android tablet & movable media display, which speaks about its destined use. Here are some more details from its description: The slate is priced at $600 for the 32GB version, which is apparently WiFi only....
