And no, they do not necessarily cost a bomb. 1. Cover with a stand: Prop it up please You have to start with basics, and we would recommend getting a cover for your iPad....

Interestingly, OnePlus chose India as its launch market for smart TVs. The company claims that India is its most important market when it comes to smartphones so it was a natural choice to launch the TVs here as well. For a company so new to televisions, OnePlus took quite a risk when it launched the OnePlus TV Q1 at Rs 69,900 and OnePlus TV Q1 Pro at Rs 99,900, both being 55″ 4K UHD QLED TVs....

If you are in US, India, UK and other countries, when you buy an iPhone, Apple ties up the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS you are buying to a local telecom provider. But when you buy iPhone 3G through the Hong Kong Online Apple Store, you can officially and legally get a Factory unlocked iphone which you can use with any operator. Yeah, right! “ANY” operator.

Windows 8.1 will sort of bring back the start button that computer users have been asking for ever since Windows 8 was released. Apart from this update, Windows 8.1 will have a number of other upgrades, which shows that Microsoft has payed attention to the user’s demands.

Redmi A1: Note-worhty surprise, but not like the Note The Redmi A1 made such an impact because it was very unlike any phone that Xiaomi had released in a while. In fact, some would say that it is the biggest surprise Xiaomi has sprung on the Indian phone market since it stunned everyone by bringing high refresh rate AMOLED displays to its Note series at surprisingly affordable prices in 2020....

Indeed, notwithstanding the almost traditional howls of “it’s too expensive” that accompany the launch of an Apple product, the fact is that Apple’s pricing is not as crazy and over the top as some are assuming it is. Yes, at Rs 59,900 in India (USD 549 internationally), they are significantly more expensive than the likes of the Sony WF-1000 XM4 ( Rs 29,990), Bose 700 (Rs 34,500), and the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless (Rs 34,990), which for many users represent the higher end of the headphone market....

And Brando replies deadpan: (Check the scene again here. Swooning over Brando is not optional). And well, that was what ran through my mind as Samsung unleashed its latest series of flagships on the world. We have discussed their specs often enough and there is no doubting their ability and quality. The big question that however needs to be asked is: what is their competition? Started out with the iPhone and other premium flagships About eight years ago, the answer would have been simple – the iPhone....

The Mi crowdfunding platform would help Xiaomi bring its hoard of innovative products to the country. Initially, the company is bringing it tripod selfie stick and Bluetooth audio receiver into the Indian market. The Mi Tripod Selfie Stick is a mixture of a tripod and a standard selfie stick. However, unlike a standard tripod, this one comes with a mobile stand and not a DSLR. Additionally, it comes with a Bluetooth receiver and is priced at Rs 1,099....

Rumor mills have been predicting this move from quiet some time but on this Wednesday, Richard Lee, chairman of laptop manufacturer Inventec said that the company would be assembling Xiaomi’s first laptops which will be shipped starting the first two quarters of 2016. He further also expressed his delight at the fact that Xiaomi already has a 200-million strong registered smartphone users, which will sort of create a baseline for the company to pitch their products....

Dapper under the Black Mi Wrapper The Redmi 4 looks literally like the offspring of the other two Redmi 4s present in the market – the Redmi Note 4 and the Redmi 4A. The device has got the size of the Redmi 4A and also comes with a similar back but looks more like a mini Redmi Note 4 from the front and obviously the metal body and the black color (yes, we got the black variant) just reinforce this impression....

The Mi TV 2S comes with the latest version of MIUI which is based on Android 5.0. The standout feature of the new TV set is its aluminium frame that’s only 9.9mm thin. The Mi TV 2S has a 48-inch 4K display which can decode 4K at 60Hz. The 10-bit panel is made by Samsung and has a 85% NTSC color gamut coverage. MStar 6A928 SoC with four Cortex A17 CPU cores clocked at 1....

The key reasons for me to buy the new iPhone were – the previous one conked out, faith in the brand, and having the means to acquire a new one. The 7 is a beauty, the photos and video quality once again are great and I love the slo-mo. The Voice Memo sound quality works well for my thoughts and interviews and the Notes app is fantastic for scribbling a few quick ones....

Which, let us confess, is one heck of a surprise for us. For, when Apple unveiled the iPhone XR, it seemed to have cut back on the cameras and the display to accommodate a lower price tag than the XS and XS Max. So while the XS (and Max) had dual 12.0-megapixel cameras on the back and a 7-megapixel front camera, the XR only had a single 12.0-megapixel rear camera, although it had the same front camera set up....

As always, we have gone with auto mode on all the shots, as that is the mode in which most consumers use their devices. We would advise you to take a look at the full resolution shots of the images we have used (just click on them – it is that simple) to get a better idea. Let’s get the hardware part of the camera out of the way! OnePlus 5T: Primary Camera: 16MP f/1....

Design and appearance This is a clash between the traditional and the modern. The Moto G5s Plus harks to a slightly more conventional style of design with its metal build although its rounded edges and spherical dual camera unit do make it stand out in the camera crowd. However, while being smart looking, the G5s Plus has to reckon with the downright beautiful Honor 9 Lite which comes with an 18:9 aspect ratio display and a wonderful glass back with a mirror finish....

Of course, just how well it performs (and whether it will follow the footsteps of that illustrious predecessor) will be revealed in the coming days, but our initial impressions can be summed up in seven points (of course) and one more (of course, again): Solid and smart…and yes, it is actually made of metal! We must confess to feeling a certain sense of fatigue when “block of aluminium” references crop up as regards Nokia devices, but even though the Nokia 7 Plus too follows the “carved out of a block of aluminium (Series 6000, in case you wish to know what kind), it does look very different from its predecessors....
