It comes in three color options: Steel Grey, Rose Gold, and Phantom Black, and has an ‘always on’ (Ambient Mode) display to allow users to have a quick peek at what’s important, without having to press a button. Towards the back, the encasing is made out of stainless steel and has a curved design, and also houses a rotating crown and a customizable action button on its side....

MVNOs have not existed in India with the exception of Future Group’s T24. I believe there are two key reasons why MVNOs didn’t exist in India – The easy availability of telecom licenses meant that anyone who wanted to provide vanilla telecom services would apply for a license and build out a network. Considering that during 2008-2011, the Indian telecom market was still growing, many thought that it would make sense to apply for a telecom license and get a slice of the “growing” Indian telecom market....

The loophole seems to be a SS7 flaw in the architecture of the signalling system which is devised to allow mobile phone roaming across telecom providers. SS7 signalling protocol was developed way back in 1975 and now in the current cellular setup it is used to perform transitional functions including, prepaid billing, SMS, local number portability among a host of other services. Flags were raised in 2014 when it was reported that a protocol vulnerability of the SS7 will allow non state actors to track the movement of cellphone users from any location across the world with a success rate of 70 percent....

After years of flagship slaying, it was as if OnePlus decided it was time it launched a series which was a flagship itself, and therefore, the OnePlus 8 series was launched. Settling on a premium strategy! With a price of Rs. 41,999 for the base variant of the OnePlus 8 and starting price of Rs. 54,999, (and even higher price tags of $699 and $899 respectively in the US), the new OnePlus 8 range was more away from its flagship killing past than ever before....

The Nintendo 3DS will be launched in the USA on March 27, and will be available for $250. It is already breaking all pre-booking records. “Consumers are going to have to expect for at least the first year that possibly finding a 3DS might be difficult“, says EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich. The prices have already hit $500 for some 3DS systems on eBay. Nintendo aims to ship 4 million 3DS systems globally by the end of March....

With the 3310, Nokia has decided to play the nostalgia card and as a result, has kept the changes at minimal best. The Nokia 3310 is still a basic phone and doesn’t come with frills that one would usually associate with the current day smartphones. The Nokia 3310 comes baked with the uber popular Snake game and will now be running Nokia Series 30+ software. The display on the Nokia 3310 has moved on from monochromatic to a 2....

For example, one can easily customize a Mac that they’re buying in the US as per their needs. More RAM, storage, better CPU and GPU, etc. However, such customization options were not available in India for the simple fact that Apple did not have its own stores in the country. That is about to change on September 23, though, when Apple is unveiling its online store in India called Apple Store Online....

No new sound of true wireless music AirPods All those who had expected Apple to update the earphones that started the whole “true wireless” revolution, had to go back empty-handed, or rather, eared. Notwithstanding endless leaks about better noise canceling, improved battery and even multi-colored cases, the AirPods stayed firmly under wraps. Mind you, we are sure new ones are on the way. The Pros rule, there’s no room for mini players The iPad Mini Apple did introduce two new iPads, but neither of them fit the mold of the iPad mini, the smallest iPad of them all, which for a brief while had been the darling of all those who found the “normal” iPad abnormally large....

Looks…very familiar! Mind you, it does so in a manner that is surprisingly understated. OnePlus rattled a lot of the competition with its very different phones and audio products. With fitness bands, however, it seems to have taken the path most traveled. The OnePlus Band with its capsule-fitting-into-a-strap design is not going to stand out from the general fitness brand crowd in terms of design. At slightly more than 20 grams in weight, it will sit easily on most wrists, and is comfortable to wear....

The display offers an FHD+ resolution and provides a 90Hz refresh rate along with up to 180Hz of touch sampling rate....

Mistake not, the CaloRieco is not a machine you would tuck in your purse or your pocket, it, in fact, resembles a kitchen scale. Panasonic recently showcased the prototype of the CaloRieco. The gadget promises to measure calories along with the other Nutrition facts in just about 10 seconds. All one needs to do is open the lid and place their food inside the loading bay. Once done the user can initiate the process by using the touchscreen....

Beta apps on Play Store usually require you to have an invite to try out the beta or sign up for some additional stuff which doesn’t seem to be the case here. All you have to do is just head to the Play Store, navigate to the beta version of the game and install it. However, since this is just the beta version, you cannot sign in with your existing account and will have to create a new account with the guest option in order to be able to play the game....

Starting off with the camera, the new integrated Qualcomm Spectra™ 160 premium camera ISP (image signal processor) aims to promise relatively accurate skin tones, higher throughput for dual camera smartphones, and more importantly, improves on low light photography. Furthermore, it also supports smooth optical zoom, dual pixel autofocus and refines video stabilisation.

The Snapdragon Wear 3100’s biggest highlight is a new coprocessor. Qualcomm says 95% of the times a smartwatch sits idle and is only employed for checking the time or date. So it essentially separated all those functions to a dedicated processor. What that does is optimizes the watch’s sensors and ambient display features to use up to 20 times less energy than the main processor would. For the user, that means a longer battery life....

A familiar spec sheet with some changes… That leaves the Realme 8 with quite a lot to do. And we are not too sure it actually succeeds in doing what is expected. Let us get one thing out of the way – the Realme 8 is a very decent proposition in many regards. It comes with a 6.4 inch Super AMOLED full HD+ display (with a 60 Hz refresh rate, rather than the 90 Hz on the Realme 7) and runs on the impressive MediaTek Helio G95, which is known as one of the best gaming chips in the Rs 15,000 price range and comes with a large 5000 mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging....

The Realme GT Master Edition aims to be a different phone, unlike other special editions where an existing device gets a new theme or redesign in terms of appearance but has the same specifications. The Master Edition differs from the Realme GT 5G mainly in the core, the processor. With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G on board, the device brings a potential chipset in terms of performance, with an added touch of 5G connectivity....

A Note shaped hole in the sub-Rs 10,000 segment First off, there came the arrival of two Redmi Notes, and both came with suffixes – the Note 9 Pro and the Note 9 Pro Max. They were also slightly more expensive than their predecessors. But there was no sign of the “simple, basic” Note. A few weeks ago, that appeared as well – the Redmi Note 9. And well, it broke a tradition by being the first Note in a while to come at a starting price that was in five figures – Rs 11,999....

What is the difference between Redmi Note 10 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro max? There is just one major difference between the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max and that is to do with the primary camera. The Redmi Note 10 Pro has a 64MP primary camera whereas the Redmi Note 10 Pro max gets a 108MP primary shooter. If cameras are your main priority, you can spend the additional Rs....
