Sure, they did offer a fleet of handy features stock Android has lacked for years and still does. But at the expense of either a crummy experience or a deteriorating performance. My affection towards vanilla Android remained, therefore, unhindered throughout the years irrespective of how much the phone maker said it’s dedicated to cutting down on bloatware. That is until I tried Xiaomi’s MIUI 10 Beta on a Poco F1 for over a week....

Mi 10 Ultra: Design and Display Talking about the design, the Mi 10 Ultra comes with an all-glass body with a curved panel on the back and a quad-camera array setup in a vertical arrangement. Towards the front, it has a 6.67-inch FullHD+ AMOLED curved panel with a punch-hole cutout on the top-left for the front-facing camera. The display offers up to 120Hz refresh rate and is HDR10+ certified. Mi 10 Ultra comes in three color variants: Obsidian Black, Mercury Silver, and Transparent Edition....

Coming up with such a step now makes more sense than ever before. As, with the growing popularity of the brand and its loyal customers, it is not an easy task to serve such a huge demand for smartphones. With an Express Kiosk, however, it would become much simpler for customers to buy smartphones and accessories, without requiring any sort of active assistance of staff, which in a way, also helps the company reduce on the operational cost of setting up stores and other related expenses....

The Mi TV 4 UHD will come paired with Mi TV Bar which consists of 10-speakers, 2-wireless rear satellite speakers along with a subwoofer. Also, the Mi TV 4 is the first TV to feature Dolby Atmos audio technology. Xiaomi Mi TV 4 is powered by a 64-bit quad-core processor coupled with 2GB of RAM. On the storage front, the TV offers 8GB of internal storage. The new Mi Port by Xiaomi can connect the Mi TV Bar to the display and will consist of a single cable....

In terms of design, all four models have tempered glass shelves along with LED lights to illuminate the interior. Out of the four models, the two high-end models include a display panel that mounted on the front door to allow users to monitor the temperature and control various settings easily. Further, the two entry-level models come with the traditional 2-door design found on most refrigerators, whereas, the two high-end models offer a 3-door design, which specifically targets people with large families....

The Note 4…with a taller display! The design of the Redmi Note 5 is kind of conflicting. The face of the smartphone is where all the major change has happened. It is the aspect of the smartphone which will make you feel you are holding the successor of the Redmi Note 4. With the Redmi Note 5, Xiaomi has stepped in the tall, 18:9, “almost bezel-less” mid segment smartphone community....

iPhone XR – for all ye in search of iPhone newness (Rs 76,900) Yes, that price makes one redefine the term “affordable,” but on the flip side, there can be no arguing with the fact that the iPhone XR is almost a fourth cheaper than the base iPhone XS. And while that price cut does come with compromises in terms of hardware (no full HD display, no dual cameras, an aluminum frame rather than a steel one), the XR also has its own share of aces up its sleeve – the A12 processor is the same seen on the XS and XS Max and delivers similarly stunning speed, the design is easily the most colorful in recent iPhone history (and the XR is a looker), the single camera is good enough to make you doubt the need for dual ones (a la the Pixel 3), and well, the battery life is the best we have EVER seen on ANY iPhone, easily getting past a day of normal use....

But even by his standards, January 9, 2007, was a masterpiece. I would tend to agree with Walt Mossberg – it was perhaps Jobs’ best presentation ever. In many ways, the presentation – or the iPhone part of it anyway – was a more refined version of Apple’s epic launches of the early to mid-eighties. A much younger Jobs then would love poking fun at the competition, deriding them, naming them openly and claiming that Apple’s own devices (computers in those days) were much better....

So basically if you have about two times ten grand to spend, there are two phones that will jump out at you – one that starts slightly below that price point, and one that starts slightly above it. Both come from the house of Xiaomi, both have 108 megapixel cameras, both have 6.67-inch 120 Hz refresh rate displays…but which Mi should you go for: the plain one or the one with a Red prefix?...

What every smartphone looks like What do smartphones look like these days? The tall display on front bundled with thin bezels and a drop notch? Plus a glass or glass-like back? This is definitely the latest template for smartphones across different categories and the Nokia 4.2 follows it to a T. It comes with a tall 5.7-inch display bundled with the latest design hygiene in smartphones, the drop notch. The screen is surrounded by thin bezels but comes with a slightly thick chin, which comes with ‘Nokia’ branding....

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite: Not quite LIKE the S10 Do not get fooled by the name though – it looks nothing like the S10, which looked far more premium with its glass back (the one on its lite avatar feels plasticky), and which had cameras on a straight strip rather in a rectangular enclosure on the back. It is a little on the large size but surprisingly slim (8.1 mm) and relatively light (186 grams) for a phone which packs a large 4500 mAh battery....

Slim, trim premium feels Let us get one thing out of the way – the Tab S7+ is an out and out premium device. Its price starts at a very princely Rs 79,999. And well, the design lives up to the price tag, in terms of material used. The Tab S7+ has a metallic build and at just 575 grams, it is very very light, lighter than the iPad Pro....

Long back we had written about multiple ways to track and recover stolen laptops. Some of them still work and some of them don’t. But here is a real neat solution, if you are a Dropbox user. Let me alert you that this article is not for those who have already lost their laptops. Rather this is for everyone else who can follow some simple procedure and avoid wasting hundreds of dollars on the insurance....

The smartphones going against the 5T are the iPhone X, the iPhone 8, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8....

Accessibility Menu Android Pie lets you pin a handy little accessibility menu to the navigation bar which can be employed for quickly accessing a bunch of options. This includes “Notifications” which allows you to pull the notification shade without stretching your finger to the top, “Recent Apps”, “Screenshot”, and more. The option to enable it is situated inside the “Accessibility” setting as “Accessibility Menu”. Although I wish Google lets us edit the menu in the next update....
