For, in some ways, the Redmi Note 7 represents perhaps a crucial stop in Xiaomi’s journey back to phone camera supremacy. When Xiaomi first came into the Indian phone market, one of its strongest points was the camera its phones carried. In those days, it was rare to see even an average (let alone exceptional) camera in the budget segment. In this scenario, we have devices like the Mi 3 and Mi 4, the Redmi 1S and Redmi 2 and the Redmi Note, all of which sported very good cameras indeed....

If you’re in the market for a new smartphone and eying a mid-range device, you’re probably in for a roller coaster of a ride when it comes to making a choice. Not only do you have a mind-boggling range of available options, you have to figure out whether to opt for a tried-and-tested brand or lay your hard-earned dough on a relatively lesser known brand that, at least on paper, offers better bang for the buck....
What color options does Le2 have? Rose Gold and Grey. We are not sure if LeEco will bring both of them to India. Le 2 has a camera bump, does this cause any issues? It does wobble very little when placed on a flat surface, but LeEco packs in a transparent silicone case that flattens this out if used. How are the capacitive buttons? Le 2 has backlit capacitive buttons that turn on when you place a finger on it....
Lenovo will not be bundling controllers for the headset and will be depending on third-party accessories that will be manufactured in accordance with the Windows Holographic specifications.

Furthermore, the company claims that all the Windows Store application will work in a floating mode and it is likely that a handful of applications will be ported to better its support for HoloLens....
We all know it’s pretty frustrating to carry around two mobile phones, and the creators of this gadget are very much aware of this also.

What Microsoft aims to provide with the Surface Go is productivity on the move while still maintaining an extremely portable form factor and a slim profile. The Surface Go is equipped with a custom-built high-resolution PixelSense display with an aspect ratio of 3:2 that has support for Microsoft’s Surface Pen with 4096 different levels of pressure sensitivity for note taking as well as drawing or computer-aided graphics purposes, but is sold separately....
It is, however, rather apt that the best implementation of the gesture-based interface comes from the company many call the Chinese Apple, Xiaomi. The company brought a gesture-based interface to its “full screen” devices, i.e., devices with 18:9 aspect ratio (in India that would mean the Redmi 5, Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Mi Mix 2) with the MIUI 9.5 update that was made available for download a while ago – rather appropriately the gestures are called full-screen gestures....

Seen in isolation, the phone is very sleek and thanks to the round camera unit which sticks out at the back, typically Motorola – that spherical camera is becoming an integral part of the Motorola design language, making all its phones stand out in a very crowded marketplace....
So the legendary Henry Ford is supposed to have said when asked for alternative colors for his cars. Well, things have not been that color-bound (or blind) in the phone world, although we would love more color in it – things have reached a stage when black is considered a special edition (ask Xiaomi and OnePlus, if you believe us not). Apple – again – however, has stirred things up with a red edition of its iPhone....
