It does look a fair bit like the Mi Watch Revolve with markings on the outer part of the frame, but that is not really a bad thing....

Initially, the Reliance Jio Preview offer was rolled out for a handful of Lyf smartphones.

Of course, not ALL interface tweaks work out well – we have had people complaining about the complexity of TouchWiz, for instance – but when they do, it is a marvellous bonus to the consumer.

According to Financial Post, Apple currently boasts a huge cash reserve of US$75.876-billion as of June 2011, while the US treasury department revealed on Thursday that it has just US$73.768-billion in reserves.

However, once the chipset reached consumers, things started to go steeply downhill as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, while powerful, offered sub-par performance with CPU throttling issues and poor battery life. It was determined that this was due to the technical failures that came with using Samsung’s inferior 4nm manufacturing process. To address the damage and shortcomings of the 8 Gen 1, the San Diego-based company announced its latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset in May this year, jettisoning Samsung’s far inferior 4nm process in favor of TSMC’s N4 (4nm) manufacturing process....
