Gmail Shelfie Taking selfies has become a social phenomenon and recently even Apple has added a new category to iTunes with special apps for taking selfies. So, perhaps this one was a little bit hard to catch. On its 10 years anniversary, Google announced Gmail Shelfie, a tool that allows you to easily take a photo of yourself and set it as your Gmail theme. Google Magic Hand Google Japan has introduced the Magic Hand, a new input method for smartphones which lets operate your own mobile device with a magic hand....

WeChat pitches the service as “super-low calling rates” and “excellent call quality”, and as rightly pointed out by VentureBeat it will help the company to link customers’ credit cards to their WeChat accounts. So the feature can be accessed by tapping on the ‘+’ symbol at the top right and selecting WeChat out. The service will take some time to import your phonebook post which you can dial the number directly....

Here is an useful tip for Samsung Galaxy S II owners. As we all know, Samsung Galaxy S II is an Android device featured with almost each and every feature which should be present in a high-end smartphone. The interesting feature about which I am going to talk about in this article is the “Wi-Fi Direct”. What is Wi-Fi Direct? Wi-Fi direct is a feature available in Samsung Galaxy S II....

The move from Facebook comes at a time when several WhatsApp users complained about the new changes in its privacy policy — changes that suggested that the messaging platform will soon start sharing a few different types of user data with its parent company, Facebook. For which, users were required to agree to and accept the new policy update before February 8 or risk the chances of getting their accounts deleted....

Design and Display The Mi Mix Alpha comes with an all-screen display that wraps around the entire body of the smartphone and encases the camera module. It has a ceramic back strip and a TC4 aerospace-grade titanium alloy frame, which according to Xiaomi is three times stronger than stainless steel. The display offers a 180.6% screen-to-body ratio and comes with 2.15mm bezels on top and bottom, Surround Display layering technology, Display Acoustic technology, ultrasonic proximity sensor, and more....

The Redmi Note 2 Prime is fitted with a 5.5-inch FHD display and is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Helio X10 paired with a 2GB of RAM. The internal memory will be bumped up from 8GB to 32GB along with a microSD card slot that can accommodate another 32GB. On the imaging front, the Redmi Note 2 Prime is expected to feature a 13-Megapixel primary Samsung/OmniVision sensor with PDAF and 1080p video recording....

Now let’s talk about the new features Google has baked in to the YouTube, the first one and the most awaited one is the Trending Tab. So now YouTube app will have four tabs on the top as we can see in the screenshots above and the new Trending tab will showcase the videos which people are watching, discussing and are being shared the most. In essence the Trending tab will let you in on the viral and the pre-viral videos thus enabling a new content discovery feature, something that YouTube needed desperately....

That does not seem to have disheartened Meizu CEO Jack Wong, however. He has claimed that the crowdfunding was only for research purposes and not for mass production. He has also evidently referred to the Indiegogo campaign as a “marketing stunt” on Weibo. All of which would come as a surprise to many who had hailed the device as a glimpse of the future. The Meizu Zero indeed had brought a lot of crazy high-tech to the table, claiming to use a ceramic unibody that was IP68 dustproof and waterproof and had no openings whatsoever – the sound came from the display, the fingerprint scanner was under the display, there were pressure sensitive buttons on the side for volume and other functions, eSIM card support, and wireless charging....

Ingredients you can consider using include: Bose SoundSport Free Apple AirPods Bragi Dash Pro Jabra Elite 65t Of course, geography limits us to trying locally available ingredients, but we think these are the best that one can get at the time of writing. Starting with…well, sound! Cooking the perfect pair of true wireless earphones is basically like making one-pot meals. You need to take all your ingredients and mix them up, blend them well, till the time they all get infused in each other well....

Sturdy and Stylish The Zephyrus M GU502 has an extremely robust build and feels solid when held in hand. The top lid has a brushed metal finish which does attract a ton of smudges, but there’s no denying that it does look attractive, nonetheless. The laptop belongs to the premium segment and its quite evident from the way it is built. While not constructed out of metal to keep the weight in check, the polycarbonate does not feel cheap at all, neither does it flex on the palm rest or the keyboard which shows the quality of materials used....

Let us get one thing clear: the Honor 8 Pro is a very contrary beast from the Honor 8, which remains one of the most gorgeous devices we have seen with that brilliant glass back (especially in the blue edition). Yes, the 8 Pro too has the curved and smooth edges of the Honor 8, but there the similarity ends. The back is all metal for starts. For another, this is a larger device, even though it remains relatively compact....

It’s so hard to tell the different brands apart by just the looks these days and the Vision 3 is nothing different. Though the phone has an 18:9 aspect ratio, there is a considerable amount of bezels all around but not as much as we have seen on its earlier cousins. The overall build is made of plastic, and the one we got is the gold variant, rather falling into the darker shades....

It is also the most striking Micromax device we have seen for a while. No, we are not going down the path of some of our colleagues who have tried to draw visual parallels with the Samsung Galaxy S8 or the LG G6 here, but there is no doubting that in its price segment – the sub-Rs 10,000 one – the Micromax Canvas Infinity’s 18:9 aspect ratio display makes it one of a kind....

New(ish) Design? Before we speak about the phone itself, let’s take a moment to appreciate the bold design of the box the 7T comes in. Takes us back to the OnePlus One. And no, we are not complaining. It’s nice when something stands out every once in a while, and credit to OnePlus for doing exactly that. Not just the box, but the phone makes some bold design choices too....

Right. Digest that. And take our word for it, nothing really comes close to it at this price, not even its own SuperZoom-less sibling (which loses out on OIS and other camera muscle). And that in our books is what makes the Realme X3 SuperZoom special. Yes, we know that there will be a lot of talk about the Superzoom – it can go up to 60X digital zoom – and the special Starry Mode (which lets you take pictures of stars at night), but take it from us, do not go by the Superzoom in the name....

Solid and substantial – design and specs For, unlike the Galaxy M31s and Galaxy M51 that threw some very good specs at the competition, the Galaxy M12 seems to take a slight step back and rely on a back-to-basics effort. The design is a little on the basic side, with the front being all-display with a drop notch. Samsung has tried to add a touch of the unusual on the back with a dual-tone touch – a very finely striped upper portion and a metal-like lower part, with a square camera set up in the top left corner....

So, how to know what exactly crashed your computer? Answer is – WhoCrashed. WhoCrashed shows the drivers which have been crashing your computer with a single click. In most cases it can pinpoint the offending drivers which have been causing misery on your computer system in the past. It does post-mortem crashdump analysis and presents all gathered information in a comprehensible way. Going by the traditional way, one would have to resort to Debugging tools to debug and analyze what caused the crash....

For those who know it not, the Chromebook was supposed to be the über affordable notebook – the one that allowed you to do just about every routine notebook activity, by using mostly online tools and relatively fewer hardware resources. It ran on Chrome OS, a very light and speedy OS built around, as its name indicated, the Chrome browser and Google’s services. Most significantly, the use of relatively less powerful hardware allows Chromebooks to be super affordable, without compromising on speed or performance....

That was the chant that used to ring out in cricket stadia around the world when Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar was batting. It has been a while since it has been heard as Tendulkar has retired from the sport he adorned, leaving behind a series of records (most runs, most centuries) that is going to take some breaking, no matter how talented the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers might be....
