The video, which is interestingly shot in portrait mode, is possibly meant to be marketing material for social platforms like Instagram. As per the leaked video, the Nokia 9 will sport 5 cameras with Zeiss optics, hence the name “Pureview” which also confirms the speculations we’ve been hearing from the rumor mills. The camera arrangement is claimed to take 5 simultaneous shots to produce an image with up to 10x more light when compared to a normal single camera smartphone....

Right now, the WhatsApp Web is live on https://web.whatsapp.com/ and you’ll need to open that in the Google Chrome browser, scan the QR code (from WhatsApp) that it displays with your phone and you are good to go! That pairs the phone and your web browser. Make sure you have upgraded to the latest version of WhatsApp on your phone before trying this. This new web client will NOT work with iOS devices, which WhatsApp claims is due to Apple’s restrictions....

2016 was the year that was supposed to see the arrival of a new Micromax, with a completely new brand image and all. Well, the company did have an elaborate event to mark a rebranding exercise and much was made of the fact that it was now among the leading smartphone brands in the world, and not just India. And more than two dozen phones (yes!!) were showcased at the event for good measure....

OnePlus’ co-founder Carl Pei was telling me about the launch of the next OnePlus device. The company had decided to do away with the conventional launch approach and make the device’s launch totally online. Not many thought that it would succeed. But it totally was in line with the company’s motto of Never Settle. “It is not really regular, is it?” I remarked. Carl laughed in his typically boyish manner and said, “Hey, we are OnePlus....

OnePlus 7T Pro Design: So much like OnePlus 7 Pro And this we feel has resulted in the OnePlus 7T just stealing a bit of attention away from its Pro brother. After all, the 7T was a very different phone from OnePlus 7 in terms of both design and hardware. The OnePlus 7T Pro, however, as we observed in our first cut, is actually a more subtle upgrade of its Pro predecessor....

The Nord 2 5G (hence referred to as the “Nord 2”) sings a rather different tune. It draws attention to its processor (CEO Pete Lau referred to it in his post on the OnePlus forum announcing the phone), its camera, and its blazingly fast charging. The first Nord did not seem to care about its spec sheet. The new Nord waves it proudly. If the first Nord was a great everyday phone, the Nord 2 claims to be “pushing the limits of a great everyday phone....

We heard that comment several times when OnePlus took the wraps off the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G recently. For, this was actually the Never Settling brand channeling the spirit of the bestselling products of one of its rivals, which itself was undergoing a change of sorts. OnePlus and Xiaomi have had an almost constant rivalry since they both entered the Indian smartphone market in 2014, and their latest encounters have been in the mid-segment....

Not the UI experience you would expect: The phone is still running the Android 7.1 Nougat with Oppo’s own ColourOS custom skin which in my opinion has failed to deliver. It’s not about the performance, but it’s about features which have become a defacto for any Android Smartphone. Right off the bat, I noticed that it did not show any notification icon from apps on top of the screen by default, then there was no app preview during multitasking, in order to remove the notification, I had to swipe, and press delete button, and lastly, there is no option to reboot when you press and hold the power button....

The Oppo R17 Pro’s biggest highlight, by far, is the rear camera arrangement. For starters, the primary 12-megapixel lens features a variable aperture between f/1.5 and f/2.4, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9. The secondary 20-megapixel sensor is included for depth information. The third sensor, however, is a Time of Flight (TOF) 3D sensing camera which can be employed for producing high-quality 3D images. On the front, you’ll find a 25-megapixel selfie snapper as well....

Here are our top ten picks for the pre-Black Friday Sale deals: 1. Google Pixel 3/3XL The two amazing flagships released last month are available at a discounted price with flat 50% off for this year’s Black Friday Sale.

Currently, Wanderio is aimed at European users, but as it will exit BETA, more locations across the world will be added, without a doubt. Those residing in Europe know that flights can be cheap here, but ground transport is expensive. The user interface of the start-up is familiar to services like Hipmunk or Kayak, but it lets you enter the exact addresses, which is really cool. Wanderio plans your entire travel for cheap Wanderio uses easy-to-understand visual timelines to explain the journey you’re about to take....

Design and Display In terms of design, the F2 Pro features an all-glass body, with a circular camera arrangement on the rear and a pop-up module for the front-facing camera. Towards the front, it has a 6.67-inch FHD+ E3 AMOLED panel with a 60Hz refresh rate a 180Hz touch response rate. The display offers support for HDR10+ and Widevine L1 certification. Moreover, both the front and the back of the phone come with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top....

Ever since the inception of the Reliance Jio, the demand for 4G VoLTE phones have peaked. While a large number of smartphones now come with 4G and VoLTE, that’s not the case with the feature phones. Add to that the fact that a large chunk of Indian consumers is still stuck with feature phones. In fact, Lava 4G Connect M1 is the only feature phone available in the market that comes with support for Reliance Jio, although Micromax is expected to launch Bharat 1 and Bharat 2 soon....

Design and Display Starting with the design, both the Realme X3 and X3 SuperZoom feature a curved-glass back design and comes in two color options: Arctic White and Glacier Blue. Towards the front, the two phones share the same 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with an FHD+ resolution. The panel offers a 90.5% screen-to-body ratio and a 120Hz refresh rate — something that is increasingly been seen across many newer devices....

Adding custom fonts to your blog is very difficult because for this you need a programming skill, as far as I know most of them hate it because you have to edit your CSS file (if you had design or coded your own theme then it is easy for you and if you are using free theme then you find it bit tricky and time consuming). And one more thing in addition to it, if your blog design uses a special type of font that doesn’t exist in reader’s machine, then you are creating a problem for yourself....

Budget phones normally come loaded with good specs but take a hit in the design and choice of build material. Not the case here – the M680 has a good metallic frame going around it and the edges are neatly curved off, and a contour we fell in love. Chamfered edges all through and a metallic back with the InFocus logo studded shines out. The power and the volume rockers on the right and left side of the phone respectively are well placed while the speaker grille at the bottom is not....

When you consider that this was a device with specs that were on par with the mighty Nexus 5 which costs about twice as much and could give the likes of the S4 and HTC One (which cost even more) a run for their money, the reason for the surprise – pleasant though it was – became apparent. While most other players in the ‘affordable but high performing” phone segment had come in with the odd hardware and/or design compromise (the Lumia 630 had 512 MB RAM and 800 x 480 display and no front camera, the ZenFone 5 was on a dual core Intel processor rather than one of the Snapdragon superheroes and ran a slightly older version of Android, and even the Moto G had a camera that sucked more like a lozenge and even looked like an oversized one), the Mi 3 pretty much threw the hardware kitchen sink at the user at a staggeringly low price....

No doubt that it will be a fierce fight, but Samsung has gone to great lengths to make the Galaxy S4 one of the best smartphones that the Android world can offer. Also, they’ve installed the newest Android Jelly Bean operating system, ensuring that everything works smooth and flawless, however, it also has the hardware to back it up. Without further ado, let’s see what the Galaxy S4 brought to the daily growing mobile industry!...
