All of this printing just takes about 5 seconds and thanks to the companion smartphone app one could upload the images to the app or even draw their own designs. However, before the printing actually happens one needs to apply a base coat, preferably white in color. The Nailbot app comes preloaded with thousands of emojis along with the option of uploading your own designs and drawings. The makers of NailBot also show how one can also paint an actual image on their nails....

Similarly, Noise’s other offering, the Noise ColorFit Pro 3, which also comes with a large display and multiple health-tracking features, became its best-selling product in the last quarter. Building on this momentum, Noise recently announced two new smartwatches to expand its flagship smartwatch portfolio in the country, the ColorFit Pro 4 and the ColorFit Pro 4 Max. Both these smartwatches feature significant upgrades over their predecessor, the ColorFit Pro 3, and are targeted at different audiences....

For the uninitiated, the PureView technology is a pixel oversampling technique that reduces an image taken at full resolution into a lower resolution picture, thus achieving higher definition and light sensitivity, and enables lossless zoom. We saw this first on Nokia 808, but has been improved further on Lumia 1020. The camera on 1020 couples the 41MP 2/3-inch BSI sensor with Optical Image Stabilization and a high resolution f/2.2 all-aspherical 1-group Carl Zeiss lens....

Predictable but solid design Looks and design is one area where we do not really see any dramatic changes unless the devices belong to the premium segment. In the more humble mid-segment, we generally see just a few changes that help us differentiate one device from the other. Well, the Z17 Mini’s case is no different. While Nubia has its own stamps which say “Nubia,” the device does not “really” stand out in terms of design....

What’s Changed on the OnePlus 6T from the OnePlus 6 If we have to be concise, the display now has a smaller water drop notch with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 under which lies the fingerprint scanner with OnePlus’ ‘Screen Unlock’ technology, the battery is bumped up to 3700mAh, the headphone jack is gone, there are some new camera modes, and it’s now pricier. If you wish to see a detailed comparison between the OnePlus 6 and 6T to see what’s changed in detail, you can find it here....

Look, a tale of two shades! We are going to be blunt about it – these have got to be two of the most interesting phones in terms of color. We had the Ocean Green variant of the Oppo Reno and the Nebula Blue variant of the OnePlus 7 Pro, and both turned heads with their subtle and classy sheen. Importantly, even though both phones used the now-almost-universal glass back, both did so in a manner that made them look strikingly different....

Often referred to as the “flagship killer of 2014,” the OnePlus One is one heck of a great smartphone to ignore. It packs in the top-of-the-line hardware modules coupled with software from Cyanogen Inc. But as impressive as the OnePlus One is, it too comes riddled with a few glitches here and there. As we pointed out earlier this week, there are a number of issues the phone ships with leaving users confused about many a things....

And this is the philosophy behind Prynt, a new startup that is currently seeking crowdfunding on Kickstarter. To put it as short as possible, Prynt is described as the world’s first instant camera case for smartphones. But before you get too excited, at the moment it will work only with the iPhone 5/5s/5c/6 and the Samsung Galaxy S4/S5. But the team behind Prynt says they are working to bring support to more smartphones....

Starting with the name itself, the Snapdragon 888 is a successor to the Snapdragon 865, which is the current top-of-the-line chipset powering a majority of flagship devices out there, and a successor to the Snapdragon 855. And therefore, going by Qualcomm’s naming trend for the past few years, one expected the successor to the Snapdragon 865 to be called SD875. However, Qualcomm seems to have approached the naming with a different headspace this time around....

Qualcomm is arguably the biggest Global player when it comes to SoC’s, 3G and 4G modems and it is also involved in security space. The NXP purchase will not only help Qualcomm to broaden their offerings but also ramp up its capacity and eventually achieve larger volumes. Also, with the NXP Qualcomm can finally move beyond the mobile ecosystem. Post the deal Qualcomm’s mobile revenue will be decreased to forty-eight percent alongside the Auto and IoT revenue of 29 percent....

As already mentioned, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G is a follow up to the Snapdragon 730G. The latest from Qualcomm emphasizes more on the gaming aspect of the device and will power the mid-range smartphones. When compared to the 730G, the 732G promises to offer better AI and gaming performance, with upgraded CPU and GPU. To give you a quick rundown, the Snapdragon 732G offers the Kryo 470 prime cores, clocked at 2....

Realme X50 5G: Design and Display The Realme X50 5G features a 3D glass back with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top with an 8mm liquid-cooled copper pipe for better heat dissipation. On the front, it has a 6.57-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 90.4 percent screen-to-body ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, a 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution, and a hole-punch cutout to house the dual front-facing cameras....

Xiaomi’s Redmi 4A, now, is a very different kettle of photographic fish. In terms of numbers, there is nothing about the Redmi 4A’s camera which would make you jump out of your seats. It comes with a now-usual 13-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and LED flash coupled with a 5-megapixel front facing camera. But this is not actually the reason why we are talking about the Redmi 4A’s camera. The real reason is the performance which it delivers at this price point....

As the name suggests, Oppo R7 Plus is the bigger size variant of the R7. The 6-inch screen has a 1080p FHD AMOLED display. Although Oppo has done well to cut down the bezels on the sides, the phone is still pretty wide to hold in one hand. Being metal clad, the R7 Plus weighs around 193g (exactly same as iPhone 6s Plus), but Oppo has done well to keep the weight below 200g despite the huge screen....

The imagination and work of mobile developers is incessant, I am always amazed by what kind of apps they create. There are apps that you didn’t even know you needed and such is this one. Currently available only for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad), Roadster automatically tracks your car mileage. This is a very helpful tool, especially for those who use cars given by their employers. It’s a great way for employers to keep track of just how much fuel is being consumed and for the employee to report correct numbers....

Both phones are so much alike and have more similarities than differences, and hence we’ve clubbed the review but will call out differences when appropriate. We were impressed by the style, the design and the elements used in building the phones during our initial impressions and that stays. Both phones sport exact same looks and in some angles resemble Samsung’s S6 series. As a matter of fact, we had some friends coming and asking us if we got the S6 and in some cases it was us successfully fooling others in having them think we had the S6 – mission accomplished Samsung!...

Samsung Galaxy A71: Design and Display The Galaxy A71 comes with a similar design as the A51. It has a diamond-cut design on the rear with multiple shades of color and a rectangular camera module housing the rear cameras. Towards the front, it features a 6.7-inch Infinity-O Super AMOLED infinity display with 2400 x 1080 pixels. Since the phone sports an Infinity-O display, there is a small cutout at the top to house the front camera....

The slide did its work – it drew the regulation gasps from a number of onlookers. However, it also highlighted a rather strange phenomenon in the phone market today. It has been more than a year since Nokia’s Lumia 520 surprised everyone by rocking the Android order and become one of the most popular handsets in the sub-USD 200 price segment, and also since Motorola stunned everyone with its surprisingly low price of the Moto G....

Fortunately, I’ve discovered a solution that manages to find the perfect middle ground. It’s called “Snooze Tabby”, a free extension for Chrome, Firefox and as the name clearly suggests, it lets you snooze browser tabs. Therefore, whenever you come across a link you don’t have the time to read or watch, Snooze Tabby simply allows you to configure a time period for when you’d like to revisit it. Once the clock hits the defined hour, Snooze Tabby will automatically reopen the tab for you....
