Out of the two new pairs of earphones launched, the first one is a pair of True Wireless Earbuds, similar to the Apple AirPods meaning the two individual buds are not connected to each other through any sort of wire but are standalone units with built-in batteries. According to the company, each earbud weighs in at just 5g making it extremely comfortable to wear even for long periods of time....
Google has yet again teamed up with NORAD to track Santa as he travels across the globe on Christmas eve. This year, the NORAD Tracks Santa website went live on December 1 and features a Countdown Calendar, a Kid’s Countdown Village with holiday games and activities that change daily, and video messages from students and troops from around the world. NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) has been helping families track the whereabouts of Santa for years....
In our books, the number one phone of the year would be the phone number one, or rather the Phone (1), from Carl Pei’s new initiative after going One Minus from OnePlus, Nothing. Yes, we saw no end of flagships with fancy specs and innovative features launched in the year, but when the tech dust settled, we think the best of them all was one driven by a mid-segment chip that would set no benchmark records, with just two cameras on the back, and an interface that was buggy as an autofocus abbreviation!...
Repeated-routine design “Have we seen you before?” – well, that’s what went through our minds when we saw the Nubia N1. It is not that the phone is bad-looking, just that it follows a design that is becoming very common these days. Although the front of the smartphone is distinctly different, the back of the device reminded us of the Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime. The smartphone holds a metal unibody design and the build seems solid....
Ojoy A1 Watch Review Ojoy is an Indian startup based out of Chennai. They have built two smartwatches for kids – Ojoy A1 and Ojoy B1. Not only are they designed for kids, but they have also built keeping parents in mind. After using it for over two weeks, I can say once you give this to your kid, the convenience can spoil you. It’s a good thing though. I can find out where my son is, can call him anytime I want, and he can do that as well....
Build and Design Both the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 8 share a similar design language. Glass on both sides with the back having a frosted finish. The OnePlus 7T has a unique camera arrangement on the back with a circular module while the OnePlus 8 has a more conventional vertical alignment. You also get some pretty interesting colors with the new OnePlus 8 like Glacial Green and Interstellar Glow....
Oppo F17 and F17 Pro: Design and Display The Oppo F17 series features a ‘shiny matte’ design that interacts differently as light falls on it at varying angles. It comes with a fingerprint-resistant finish on the back cover to ensure the rear does not attract a lot of smudges. Furthermore, of the two models, the F17 Pro boasts a comparatively slimmer design, which comes in at 7.8mm and weighs 164 grams....
In essence, the 5x technology encompasses of a dual camera system that makes use of a periscope-like structure in order to divert the light through the prism and make it fall onto an angled telephoto lens. The resulting shift from after the light deviates from its natural path is said to be capable of achieving a very high level of clarity at any zoom level. Moreover, the 5x is also expected to compensate for the vibrations thanks to a two-part optical image stabilization system....
Not so fast! What’s good about Nexus 7? But wait. It’s not all hunky-dory with this device. What’s not so good about Nexus 7? I’ve seen many people complaining about the looks of Nexus 7, particularly the big bezel around the screen. But looks are personal preferences and cannot be a compelling enough factor. There are other major reasons to consider: I understand that all the points (positives & negatives) will not be relevant to all the people looking to buy Nexus 7....
To recall, the RealMe C1 has a 6.2-inch screen with a resolution of 720p and a notch at the top. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 450 octa-core chipset, has a MicroSD card slot, and a large 4,230mAh battery. The phone was originally launched in 2GB RAM/16GB storage variant back in September 2018. There are two cameras on the rear — a regular 13-megapixel lens and another 2-megapixel sensor for depth-sensing....
Realme GT 5G: Design and Display Starting with the design, the Realme GT 5G appears to have a design aesthetic that seems inspired by sports cars. There are two design versions for the device: glass and leather. Talking about the glass design, Realme has two different finishes for this one: Silver and Blue, both of which undergo different manufacturing processes. On the other hand, the other variant, Leather, comes in a Racing Yellow color with a dual-tone finish....
But while most smartphones face competition from other brands, the Redmi Note 5 Pro has a bigger problem to tackle. It not only faces fierce competition from other brands but also from its own siblings. The Redmi Note 5 Pro stands right against not just one but two Xiaomi devices, the Mi A1 and the Mi Max 2, both of which are priced exactly at Rs. 13,999 (the Mi Max 2 for the 4 GB/ 32 GB edition)....
Leather love! Like Samsung, LG too has made a material change when it comes to design – literally. Mind you, the change is not as dramatic as the from-plastic-to-metal-and-glass-and-go-over-the-edge journey that its famous rival has made. In fact, the change is not apparent at first glance – from the front, the G4 looks like pretty much a routine large display Android, although with the base and top curving out gently rather than being straight-lined as in some devices....
That was the answer I got from one of my friends in the game developer community when I asked him why there were not too many good cricket games around a couple of years ago. Not too much has changed in the interim period – cricket games on the mobile platform continue to fluctuate between the painfully mediocre to the utterly complex, although there are some notable exceptions, like Don Bradman cricket and ICC Pro Cricket....
Wanna party? Sign an NDA! Allen never made the sort of headlines Gates did, and that was for a very good reason – the man valued his privacy. In fact, as per some sources, even those attending his parties (and some of them were very lavish) had to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Hah, and you thought that only tech gadget reviewers had to sign those? Guests often got goodie bags packed with, well, goodies, making his parties legendary....
Samsung Galaxy A21s: Design and Display In terms of design, the Galaxy A21s comes with a 3D glastic design on the rear and comes in three colorways: Black, White, and Blue. Towards the front, it features a 6.5-inch Infinity-O TFT display with a cutout on the top left to house the front-facing camera. The panel offers an HD+ resolution and comes in with a 20:9 aspect ratio. It’s little baffling to find an HD+ TFT display at this price range in 2020....
That might sound unexciting and simple but the A-series proved last year that a mid-ranger can get big numbers – the Samsung’s Galaxy A51 was one of the highest-selling smartphones globally in 2020. And now we have the successor to that bestseller, the Samsung Galaxy A52. Yes, it has big – wait, make that “huge” – shoes to fill. Just how well does it do that? Not your “smartphone next door” In the smartphone world, there are only a handful of brands that step away from the “follow the trend” bandwagon when it comes to design....
The Galaxy J4 Core sports a 6-inch HD+ 720 x 1480 pixels display on the front which is a TFT LCD panel, a considerable upgrade from its predecessor, the J2 Core which had a qHD display. Under the hood, the Galaxy J4 Core houses a quad-core chip clocked at 1.4 GHz which is still unnamed, but given that it is a budget-centric device, we expect it to feature the Exynos 7270 SoC which was also found on the J2 Core....
If you are Galaxy Note 3 (N9000) user in India, you can go to Settings -> More -> About Device -> Software Update, and click on Check for Update to get the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat. This update includes stability improvements, bug fixes and performance improvements, in addition to KitKat specific features like camera shortcut on lockscreen, font changes, cloud print support etc. Samsung had released the KitKat update for SM-N9000 users in Russia few days back, and Indian roll out was expected to happen very soon as the Galaxy Note 3 model sold here is the same....
If it is a Samsung Galaxy, it has to look like one! And the Galaxy On Nxt doesn’t stray too far from Samsung’s iconic smartphone design. That home button on the front with a capacitive button on either side for back and recent apps respectively, a power button on the right and volume rockers on the other side, they’re all intact just as expected. The Galaxy On Nxt is a delight as soon you pick it up, fits so well in the hands thanks to the subtle curve on the rear edges, the 2....
