But beneath that common beauty lie two very different beasts, with very different price tags too – the iPad starts at Rs 44,900 while the Air has a more princely price of Rs 59,900. However, their strong similarities can confuse many as to which to go. Are those extra bucks for the iPad Air worth it, or would the new iPad suffice for most needs? Let us try and work that out for you....
The iPhone 14 is powered by the A15 Bionic, which is very similar to the one seen on the iPhone 13. However, there is a small difference – the chip on the iPhone 14 actually has an additional graphics core, as was seen on the A15 Bionic chips on the iPhone 13 Pro series. The general consensus among most tech experts is that, in most regards, the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 13 have the same heart....
Yes, lovelies, according to my sources – and at least three different ones have confirmed it – Apple is working on a device that will showcase its gaming service, Apple Arcade. For those from a non-gaming planet, Apple Arcade is Apple’s service which lets you access several games for a fixed monthly fee (Rs 99 in India, USD 4.99 in the US – yes, India does get some lower rates for Apple products, you know!...
To understand the ‘why’ of this argument, we will have to revisit the MacBook Air. The principal reason behind the lineup’s soaring popularity was simple. It absolutely nailed the kind of notebook customers at that time demanded. A thin and light machine that didn’t look like it’s designed to do “math” and was powerful as well as long-lasting enough to handle everyday tasks. Apple, however, grew way too comfortable with that equation and refused to let it go....
Back in last year October, Swiftkey unveiled an experimental application that was entirely developed through artificial networks that were designed to predict what you’re going to type next based on the context instead of what you typed a second ago. Now, after months of testing and changes, the main Swiftkey app has been reengineered by implementing those networks at the core for providing smarter and more importantly, natural recommendations. To be slightly more precise, the ditched N-gram probability model read the last two words you wrote, scrutinized the massive database, and displayed the three best-suited words....
We had resisted writing about the rumors on Nokia’s android phone, as it looked unlikely that the Finnish giant would be allowed o pursue interests in non-WP8 device, specially after that deal with the Microsoft last year. But this latest leak shows that Nokia has put enough efforts in Project Normandy, and rekindles the hope again. The leaked image shows Nokia’s custom Android skin which looks like a mix of Asha and WP8 design elements....
And before you ask: you DO NOT NEED A KINDLE to buy and read a book from the Kindle eBook Store. All you need is an Internet connection. Actually, you do not even need a credit card or anything. You can read a book you have purchased from the Kindle Book Store on your phone, your computer, your tablet and well, of course, on a Kindle as well if you have one....
The company now wants to continue with its effort in helping kids build their own toys with a modern touch to it. The ThingMaker 3D is Mattel’s latest endeavour to provide an affordable 3D printer that would pair up with an app and let kids create a diversified range of toys and jewellery. The ThingMaker will be priced at $300 which is indeed a killer price for a 3D printer that lets you churn out your own toys....
Matrix is a smartwatch on Indiegogo that claims to have solved the battery issue once and for all. The best part of the watch is that there is no need to charge the same as it is powered by you, yes a smartwatch powered by humans. The team behind Matrix have clung to a less known aspect of the human body i.e its power generation capability. The human body generates heat and this heat is converted into usable electric power by making use of the temperature gradient....
Although it’s highly unlikely to see football matches on three iPhones linked to one another, there are high chances that someone would really use a tablet linked to a smartphone at his workplace or say, for gaming. How exactly the Pinch interface works? Well, Pinch was developed more out of curiosity and ingenuity by a research group at the Tokyo University of Technology, to help developers construct applications that can be shared between several screens and that can work with a symbiosis of smart mobiles....
The display on the Meizu 16 is an AMOLED panel which is 6 inches in size and has a Full HD+ resolution along with an 18:9 aspect ratio, while the Meizu 16+ has a larger 6.5-inch panel with the same resolution and aspect ratio and a 91.18% screen to body ratio which is common to both devices. Another aspect common to both devices is the chipset underneath which is the top of the line Qualcomm Snapdragon 845....
The brand which made online flash sales fashionable in India is going big offline with these Mi Homes. No, it is not like Xiaomi did not have an offline presence in the country. The brand had been associating with a few distributors and retail chains across India for the past couple of years, but Mi Home presents a unique opportunity – to directly deal with customers while giving them an option to physically check products before purchasing....

Do note that in order to flash the MIUI 10 Global Beta build, your phone needs to have an unlocked bootloader, as you will need to flash the ROM through fastboot.

A breath of fresh air, an apple among oranges…Hello, Moto At the time when most smartphones look like identical twins of one another, the Moto G5 Plus comes as a breath of fresh air. We complained about the absence of a differentiating enough design in many budget segment smartphones, but the Moto G5 Plus has sailed beyond the set typical pattern. And not just in terms of the competition, the G5 Plus has also broken some stereotypes when it comes to its own series as well....
OnePlus minus the usual design However, the OnePlus 10R 5G throws all of this recent design history right out of the window. So much so that at first glance, it will not even strike people as a OnePlus. It has straight sides and a flat back, instead of curved ones. Its back is dual-textured and actually has lines flowing on it from the camera unit – the first time we have seen any sort of design element on the back of a ‘regular’ OnePlus other than the camera unit and the logo....
Smaller Notch The most significant cosmetic change OnePlus has made on the OnePlus 6T is the narrower notch at the top of the screen. Unfortunately, though, it houses the same set of sensors as the OnePlus 6 which essentially means the facial unlock system on the OnePlus 6T still relies on software to authenticate you. The presence of a smaller notch, however, mends one of our pet peeves with the OnePlus 6 which was that there wasn’t just enough room for any status bar icons apart from the essential ones....
And well, more than a month after it hit the market and after its own share of updates (hey, this is a OnePlus), the OnePlus 9R does give us some very classic OnePlus feels. The design, which we covered before in our first cut, follows the template of the OnePlus 9 series, which is good, although some might find it being a little too similar to the OnePlus 8T. We think it is a good-looking phone, though....
Its OnePlus Buds Z was a runaway success in 2020, and the brand has now launched its successor, the OnePlus Buds Z2. The OnePlus Buds Z2 come with a number of new features as compared to their predecessors. They have larger 11mm dynamic drivers, active noise cancellation, Dolby Atmos support, and battery life. But will these new Buds turn out to be bestsellers too? Speaking the same design language as the Z In terms of appearance, the OnePlus Buds Z2 largely follow the same design language as their predecessors....
The Oppo F3 Plus comes fitted with a 6-inch FHD JDI 2.5D curved display along with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 Protection.
