You can either take a photograph through the app or choose an existing one. It is then that you get the option to make your picture appear in a style similar to more than twenty classic works of art, including Van Gogh’s “Self Portrait,” Andy Warhol’s “Self Portrait”, Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”, and of course Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa....

Just as we’ve finished writing about some really cool features that Android 4.1 Jelly Bean has, Google has decided to make available for download the Android 4.1 SDK (software development kit). The SDK for Jelly Bean has been available for developers since the Google I/O conference, but now it has reached its final, bug-free form. The update comes just in time, as Nexus 7 is already being tested by its new owners across the United States, Canada and soon the rest of the world to follow....

A quick recap, the QuadRooter makes way into the host device by using an app. Invariably you need to enable “Unknown Sources” from the settings and sideload the app. We had earlier warned Android users against sideloading the apps but now the Verify Feature app seems to provide an added degree of protection against such attacks. Android Central has got an affirmation from Google stating that the Verify App indeed protects and blocks apps along with the QuadRooter....

The new inclusion is accessible by merely searching on Google’s mobile application and selecting the “In Apps” filters which will accommodate snippets of information from installed apps such as Gmail, Spotify and more.

That declaration by Hugo Barra at the launch of the Mi 4 in Delhi surprised a lot of people. After all, for most people (the non-geeky mainstream), Xiaomi is best known for delivering excellent hardware at surprisingly low prices. Take the Mi 3 and Mi 4 for instance – both packed in some very good hardware (excellent processors, lots of RAM, very good cameras) and yet together cost less than most Android flagships (for the record, their combined cost is Rs 33,998!...

Treat this as a mere speculation. A new group of hackers called gull1b0ard claim to have found an exploit which will jailbreak iPhone 3GS with new bootrom and it will be untethered.

The new Honor View 20 comes with a host of advancements, some of which are “firsts” for both Honor and the industry. That includes a selfie camera which resides in a tiny screen hole measuring 4.5mm in diameter and a 48-megapixel camera on the back. One of its biggest highlights is the presence of Sony’s IMX586 sensor which is the world’s first mobile camera with a resolution of 48-megapixels. Of course, more pixels don’t necessarily mean better picture quality since smaller pixels can, in fact, let in more noise under dimly lit scenarios and the new IMX586’s 0....
