It’s called the “Norton Core” and is also incidentally Symantec’s first hardware product. The mobile-enabled router employs an extensive array of machine learning algorithms and Symantec’s threat intelligence to defend your home network which could include anything from the Nest thermostat or Phillips’ Hue lights. The device itself looks quite uncanny and resembles a disco ball. However, apart from that, this spherical edgy design also allows it to broadcast an unobstructed signal....

Starting with a bang in 2021 The Nothing story started with a pair of TWS– the Ear (1). Although most people expected that Nothing would start with a bang and get into smartphones straightaway (given Pei’s track record), Nothing delivered a curved ball and launched a pair of TWS. Pei had claimed that this pair of TWS was going to bring excitement back into the true wireless earbuds zone. So it did....

Before we jump in to check out these specifications, though, here’s a quick primer on the OnePlus 10 Pro’s design. OnePlus 10 Pro Design Based on the teaser image shared by OnePlus, the OnePlus 10 Pro features a triple-camera setup on the rear, housed within a camera module with a flash and the Hasselblad logo inscribed on one of the edges.

While the X55 modem that goes along with the Snapdragon 865, this year’s flagship SoC is already capable of running 5G networks, the X60 aims to improve stability as well as the average connection speed by introducing a combination of both sub-6 GHz networks as well as mm-wave networks. The X60 stands out due to the fact that it will be manufactured on the 5nm manufacturing process which is the best achievable node to this date....

As rightly pointed out by ArsTechnica, most of the recent increase in LTE speed have been offered by combining chunks of spectrum across multiple antennas to magnify the bandwidth. It is common for the LTE modems to blend in different technology to offer the speeds, phones usually use chunks of 20MHz spectrum along with a higher rated QAM (Quadrature amplitude modulation) which is in turn expected to increase the data transmitted over the same link....

One other customization that users like to make on their devices is for the lockscreen. This is something that Google has not offered on their Android OS until recently (this feature was implemented in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean), and because of this, third party app developers have taken on this task. Quick Launch offers a new Lock Screen We have previously looked at another app that gives users some interesting customization options for their lockscreens: Picture Password LockScreen....

Realme 8 Starting with the design, the Realme 8 features what Realme is calling an “infinite bold design”, which it says is inspired by the digital design and “created through a split design and splicing process”. Towards the front, there is a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. The display offers an FHD+ resolution and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. Realme 8 comes in two colors: Cyber Silver and Cyber Black....

We have been testing the Realme Buds Wireless Pro for almost a week now, and here’s what we feel about them. Realme Buds Wireless Pro: Box Content The Realme Buds Wireless Pro come in a large rectangular box. When opened, the first thing you get access to are the earphones themselves, housed within a plastic encasing. The box opens up from the bottom to reveal the essential accessories, which include a USB Type-C cable, along with three pairs of silicone ear tips in three different sizes....

Although not something entirely new, the electric (not ‘smart’) toothbrush is one such appliance that received mixed reactions worldwide in the initial days, but over time is slowly getting the attention of new consumers each passing day. For the uninitiated, an electric toothbrush is an appliance that simplifies your brushing process by offering a more convenient approach and also ensures better cleaning. The one we are looking at today is the Realme M1 Sonic electric toothbrush....

Well, we think we got that partially wrong. The Realme X3 SuperZoom is actually a real camera star. The specs are good This is not to say the hardware on the device is bad. No, as we stated in our first impressions, the Realme X3 SuperZoom ticks most budget flagship boxes, although it looks a trifle plain. The Snapdragon 855+ chip with RAM and storage combinations of 8 GB/128 GB and 12 GB/ 256 GB (no expandable memory), is good enough to handle every task you throw at it from PUBG to Call of Duty to video editing to dozens of Chrome tabs, and social networks....

The launch was imminent as Reliance was conducting its 4G field trial since November 2010 on its campus, further the company had said that it will be launching trials in July last year and this phase would be extended from the end of 2014 to early 2015. Airtel and Vodafone had long anticipated this move from Reliance and hence they had started investing additional funds to strengthen the infrastructure and increase its coverage....

The Galaxy Note series is one that meant success for Samsung right from the beginning, when the first Note broke sales records and properly introduced the concept of enlarged smartphones in the market. Now, several years apart, Samsung has finally unveiled the third generation device and by the looks of it, we dare to say it will be another successful release. As we speak, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is being welcomed in the scene by IFA’s Berlin audience and Samsung’s own CEO, JK SHIN....

While it is intriguing so as to why Samsung skipped the number 6 in the Note series and instead is about to announce Note 7. However, one of the deduction says that it you take into consideration the Galaxy Note Edge released in 2014 the next Note should be aptly numbered Note 7. This is what Samsung itself has to say about the nomenclature, “The Galaxy Note7 will minimize confusion about the latest mobile technology from Samsung, and provide full alignment with Galaxy S smartphone....

With iOS 12 released, and the Shortcuts app available for download on the App Store, here’s everything you need to know about the new app. What is ‘Shortcuts’ and how to use it? Similar to the Workflow app that allowed users to create ‘workflows’ by stitching together different actions, the Shortcuts app is the same for the most part. Except, the ‘workflows’ are now called ‘shortcuts’, and come with an added support for low-level functionality to get better control over automation in addition to integrated-Siri, which allows the shortcuts to be triggered using Siri....

The Blockchain technology has been a byproduct of Bitcoin and is apparently the most secure platform. Blockchain system is designed to use nodes which are in agreement with each other for order transactions. Every node or blockchain is etched with permanent data that is passed on to the next node. The clever bit though is that every node has its own set of data and for a transaction to happen the authentication is carried over on all the nodes using mathematical functions and codes....

Good looking! Design-wise, the Skullcandy Crusher ANC are classic over the ear headphones with a touch of contemporary. Although the headphones are majorly plastic, they do not feel flaky. They have a very sturdy, solid feel to them. There is metal in the headband which not only adds to the solid feels but also makes the resize transitions very smooth. The cans are padded with memory foam which is lined with faux leather....

That is the question you have to ask yourself before you think of investing in Skullcandy’s Crusher ANC headphones. For, there is bass. And then there is Skullcandy Crusher bass. The Crusher series is renowned for its almost abnormal bass levels, making the headphones literally vibrate on top of your ears (read our review of the Crusher Wireless). So what happens when Skullcandy takes this to another level and adds ANC to the mix for good measure?...

While the naming of the Xperia phones can be confusing, the design is ever so identical. The boxy hunk is aiming for more symmetry no matter where you look at it from. As good as this sounds, for a phone with a display size of 5.2-inch, the XZ has a rather big forehead and chin. We compared it to some 5.5-inch phones such as the OnePlus 3 and the Moto Z Play, and the XZ is really as tall as them....
