Surprisingly, this is not the first time that the details for Pixel 4 are out.

On the front, the device has a 6.67-inch IPS LCD display with FHD+ resolution and a centered hole-punch cutout to house the front-facing camera. The display is HDR10 and Widevine L1 certified certified, and it offers up to 450 nits of brightness with a 240Hz touch sampling rate and a 120Hz refresh rate....

Design and Build The Realme 8s 5G is quite well made for the price, starting with the build and design. Unlike the Realme 8i or the Realme 8, which had a glossy back, this device has a matte back panel. We got the device in the universal purple color option, and it looks beautiful. I personally prefer matte backs because they keep fingerprints and smudges away. The button layout is similar to most Realme devices, with the power button on the right side of the device and the volume rockers and sim tray on the left....

A Kindle that looks classy? Yep! The Voyage is Kindle turning on the style. Earlier Kindles were known for being sturdy and functional, and well, smart at best. This one? Ah, it is definitely not flimsy but whoever we have shown it to has remarked on its sleek finish. At 7.6 mm, it is definitely in the slim category – the iPhone 6 Plus is 7.1 mm – and at 180 grammes, is just a fraction heavier than the iPhone 6 Plus, which is 172 grammes....

Familiar fabric, different buds – going for a design makeover The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 come with a very different design from their predecessors. The famous fabric-covered rectangular case is still very much there, with just the logo on top of it. While the case looks as distinct and attractive as ever, it remains a little large when compared to the AirPods and even Sennheiser’s own CX Plus True Wireless, especially in terms of thickness....

Until not so long ago, I only used wishlists to keep track of the items I wanted to buy and from time to time used even shopping list apps. But that meant I had to manually check the price of my items, which was a real burden.

While that statement may be entirely made up, its implication is not, at least in the smartphone industry. If you’re looking for an extraordinarily sized battery, you’ll have to settle with an abnormally sized phone. Smartron, the India-based company which had entered the market with a lot of promises and IoT ambitions, thinks it can surpass those notions. And it’s doing so with a new smartphone it likes to call the t....

Since social distancing is a major parameter, in this case, one obviously cannot use a thermometer that needs to come in contact with the body, especially when checking temperatures of multiple individuals in public places every single day.
