The design of the new Z2 Force is largely similar to other second generation smartphones the company has unveiled this year which isn’t a bad thing at all. In addition to that, Motorola is now using 7,000 series aluminum to provide a relatively more sturdy frame. Of course, the cornerstone of purchasing this flagship is its unbreakable screen up front. To achieve that, it features a multi-layer design with a replaceable exterior “lens” which essentially means you will be able to swap it out in case it gets scratched up from multiple falls....

If you can’t wait for the app to be officially available on the Play Store and want to download the beta, you should know that if you are using a cache cleaner on your phone it may disable navigation voices. The public release of the application is still undergoing final testing, so you are advised to get it once it exits beta. Let’s have a look at some of the most important features of the app:...

The company is yet to announce the actual price of Lumia 510, but has only confirmed that it’ll be below INR 11,000 (approx $210).

Some eagle eyed folks at Android Police have come out with the date (Dec 9th) based on the number listed on Notion Ink’s redesigned homepage which was 10001 two days back, 10000 yesterday and 1111 today. For those who are not familiar with the binary code, the initial number listed there was said to have been 17, followed by 16 yesterday, and 15 today. Since the number changes each day, it supposedly counts down to December 9th, most probably the day when the new tablet PC would be made available for pre-order for all of those who are interested in purchasing it....

The SHIELD TV and SHIELD TV Pro, both share a lot of similarities. For starters, the products are powered by the Tegra X1+ chip (an upgrade to the Tegra X1 chip) with a 256 core NVIDIA GPU. The Tegra X1+ chip is an octa-core CPU manufactured on a 16nm process and built on the same Maxwell microarchitecture.

The OnePlus Loop VR headset will convert your smartphone into a full-fledged VR device and unlike last time the VR headset will be made out of robust materials and will not come in cardboard. Further the lenses can be tweaked in order to achieve the perfect visual experience. The straps are adjustable and the VR headset also comes with an inner-padding. Last time around, OnePlus had to encounter mixed reactions from its viewers and while most of them were anxious to try out the VR some of them found it to be nothing less than a hype....

Pete Lau, CEO, and Founder of OnePlus took to the company’s official forums to announce it. In addition to that, he added, “Understanding the relationship between people and smartphones, we brainstormed with our community of OnePlus users to learn what the users want most – a flexible, light and quick experience. Keeping these parameters at heart, we have conceptualized the OnePlus 6. To make this experience a reality we have established within our ranks a special R&D unit, called Team FSE (Fast, Stable, Efficient)....

Smart design with a touch of fun It is a very promising debut as well. The Nord Buds get a lot of things right, starting with their design. We got the White Marble variants and liked their slightly unconventional look with flattened stems with tiny mirror-like metallic discs on them for touch controls. Those reflective circles give the Nord Buds a very distinct touch. The case they come in is pill-shaped with a USB Type C port on the back and a connecting button....

Developed by the OnBeep team, this little device will cost you $99, with limited quantities in the first production run. Onyx can be described as a personal communications device that pairs to a smartphone via Bluetooth and works where there is data service, either on Wi-Fi or cellular networks. So, while it’s similar to the Start Trek communicator, it still relies on the ubiquitous smartphone to work. So, wherever you go, you need to take your phone with you....

Oppo F3 Plus TVC The Oppo F3 Plus ad is like any other conventional ad which highlights the USP of the device. The 30-second ad is nothing fancy.

Looks: If they matter, they are not Note-able The Redmi Note 6 Pro has many gifts – hey, it is a best seller in its own right – but being drop-dead-gorgeous is not one of them. In fact, thanks to the efforts of the likes of Honor, Asus, and Nokia, its classic metal back and glass front are beginning to look almost like a pinstripe suit in a discotheque – quiet and classy, no doubt, but not quite in sync with the place....

A recent article on CNN talks about the possibility of some radical, positive changes being done to this issue. PayPal’s system is designed to fight fraudsters and to provide a very secure and safe platform to buy and sell things online. But sometimes they also make mistakes, as it was the case, so many times, with conference or event organizers that used PayPal to process ticket payments. In fact, there are many, many stories about how horrible was the experience with PayPal’s clumsy policy regarding frozen funds....

That’s a query we have been hearing from a number of people ever since OnePlus took the wraps off the OnePlus 7 Pro. Yes, the brand had been steadily increasing the price of its devices so much so that it had gone from its starting price of Rs 19,999 in 2014 to Rs 37,999 in 2018. It even brought out a McLaren Edition for Rs 50,999 in late December. But still not many expected a new OnePlus device to be released at Rs 48,999....

Head turning-ly good looking Smartphone designs have become a little predictable of late with similar tall displays and shiny glass-like backs. When we opened the realme 3i’s box, the front of the device had us believing that it was another “smartphone next door”, especially because we do not often see smartphone manufacturers actually thinking outside the traditional box when it comes to the design of budget smartphones. But to our pleasant surprise, the realme 3i comes with an upped design game....

“What’s so special about it?” That has been the call that goes out pretty much every year a new iPhone is released in the Indian market at a premium price. This year has been no different. With the iPhone 6s starting at Rs 62,000 and the iPhone 6s Plus at Rs 10,000 more, there has been a storm of outrage that almost borders on the moral from a number of people, ranging from mainstream users to tech experts and pundits....
