But just because it is more affordable. does that mean you actually need ANC? Keeping the noise out Active noise cancellation or ANC is basically a technical way of keeping ambient noise out of your audio experience. All earphones/ headphones come with some sort of noise-canceling on board from the get-go. In many cases, it is as simple as ear covering cans, extra padding, or in-ear plugs that cut out some of the noise that can interfere with what you are hearing on them....

Build and Design When you pick up the Yoga Duet 7i, it feels very light in hand, while at the same time, its metal design makes for a sturdy build. The aesthetics of the device are kept clean, aside from an off-center rear camera. If you have a penchant for symmetry, then this might bother you a bit. Other than that, the device looks pleasing to the eyes and is very well made....

Link is a teeny-tiny cube by Fasseto, a Wisconsin-based cloud start up and is being showcased at the ongoing CES in Las Vegas. The Link is capable of storing up to 2TB of data wirelessly and it also comes baked in with its own operating system, powered by a quad-core ARM processor and 4GB of RAM making it pretty similar to a tiny computer box without a display. The Link can be used by any Wi-Fi/Bluetooth compatible device through a companion app or even the device’s browser....

Meet Liven Live Wallpaper Liven is an overlaying live wallpaper that enhances your existing background with levitating stars, particles, and snow effects. The app basically, adds a dynamic layer to your current wallpaper which you can obviously, customize with some additional patterns, filters, and settings. For me, the most prominent feature is the fact that it doesn’t feel unnecessarily complicated or teeming alike other offerings. It goes well with your rest of the setup which for some reason, isn’t a common sight anymore....

The ’S’ variant stands for “Sports” while the E is for “Express.” The makers of Ticwatch have tried to strike the perfect balance between the Fitness and smartwatch functionality. Both the variants are powered by Google Assistants, and they leverage the Google’s exhaustive ecosystem. As one could see in the demo video, the Ticwatch responds very well to the commands, and the integration seems to be near perfect. Apart from the usual set of applications the Ticwatch also helps you monitor sleep, detect music and other stuff right from your waist....

Microsoft Edge on Android and iOS comes the usual trappings of a mobile browser including Favorites, Reading List, and a Reading View as well. The cornerstone here, however, is the fact that it allows you continue browsing where you left off across devices with the “continue on PC” feature. Although the app, as of now, misses out on a range of aspects required for a wholesome browsing experience. One of these is the lack of Tab Syncing which is quite baffling considering it is already syncing with your Microsoft account....

It is the Moto G60 vs the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max vs the Realme 8 Pro. Display – Size matters Let us start with perhaps the most visible part of a phone – its display. While the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max comes with a 6.67-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the Realme 8 Pro comes with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display with a 60 Hz refresh rate, the Moto G60 takes your viewing and working experience to another level....

Design and looks: Brushed metal against Blue This is an incredibly close battle. Both devices are sleek in their own right, and the blue shade of the View 10 makes it a very different kettle of fish from others. But then the spherical camera unit makes the Moto Z2 Force a very distinct entity in its own right. The Z2 Force is also slimmer – 6.1 mm as against 7 mm – and lighter (143 grams as against 172 grams) than the View 10....

As per the product listing page which has went live on the Indian Play store, the 16GB version of Nexus 5 will cost Rs.28,999, while the 32GB will cost Rs.32,999. These prices are little more than what we had seen with Nexus 4 earlier this year. But that’s understandable as rupee has greatly lost value against USD in recent months. Both the 16GB and 32GB models will come in two colors: Black and White....

The Nokia 1 Plus features a seamless wrap-around polycarbonate material with a 3D finish on the outer back and a 5.45-inch FWVGA+ IPS display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. Under the hood, it is powered by a 1.5GHz Quad Core Mediatek MT6739WW processor, 8GB of internal storage, and 1GB of RAM.

With the Nokia T21, the company is not only targeting students and casual users but also users who are looking for a productivity-oriented portable device. Nokia’s latest mid-range tablet – the Nokia T21 – therefore features pen support. We have been using the Nokia T21 (4GB + 64GB variant with WiFi connectivity) for the past 4-5 weeks, and here’s our in-depth review to help you make an informed buying decision....

The first phone from OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei‘s new initiative, Nothing, evokes similar sentiments. At the very outset, it is only fair to point out that the Phone (1) is not without its share of headaches. And yet, it has grabbed attention like no phone has this year. Some would attribute it to Carl Pei’s ability to generate buzz, which was evident in his OnePlus years. But the buzz is of little use if there’s not much to buzz about, and in that regard, the Phone (1) is pretty much a tech beehive....

The Oculus Go is a mobile headset that bridges the gap between the company’s two other offerings – the Samsung Gear VR and Oculus Rift. For the uninitiated, the Samsung Gear VR is a VR headset designed to be powered by a handful of top-tier Samsung smartphones. The Oculus Rift, on the other hand, would cost you nearly $500 and needs a powerful PC. So, the Oculus Go attends to the shortcoming of other two headsets....

Right, let me get this off by stating that I am going to miss being in the market, as I am on the way out. And it has been great being here and I would like to thank Carl, Pete and… Bro! Do you mind? I am trying to make a statement here! But bro, this is about me, right? I mean this review is really about me. Review? I was told it was an interview… No really....

OnePlus 8T Specs confirmed so far This is what we know so far is definitely going to be on the spec of the next OnePlus phone, and unless specified otherwise, all of this comes from the company itself: It will called OnePlus 8T 5G (not so duh) The only device that OnePlus has been talking about officially is the OnePlus 8T 5G. And this seems to indicate that there might be no Pro variant launched at this time....

Looks like nothing in the market Just like the Reno 7 Pro, the Oppo F21 Pro grabs attention with its appearance. But with sass rather than class. We got the Sunset Orange variant (there is also Cosmic Black), and well, in terms of color, there is nothing like this out there. The back is a very mango-ish yellow-orange and is what Oppo calls fiberglass leather. It looks very smooth from a distance but actually has a slightly leather-like texture when you touch it....

Switching to a Switchblade design It also is perhaps one of the most striking 5G phones in the mid-segment. In its second coming, Poco has shown a willingness to go for designs that stand out – from the large logos on the X3 series to the bright yellow back of the M3 launched a few months ago. The front is business as usual – a tall 6.5-inch LCD display with a punch-hole notch in the center – but flip the phone around, and you are likely to either smile or frown, depending on your sense of aesthetics....

Just like MagMyPic, WriteOnIt is a simple online service that lets you caption and create Fake Magazine Covers with your own pic on it. Just upload your photo and choose a caption, your fake magazine cover will be ready! It can also insert your uploaded image onto coffee mugs, billboards, art easels, and fake mirrors within ready-made photos. This is not a revolutionary service as such. There have been many such services even before which have been reviewed on Technically Personal!...

The biggest highlight of the new processors is the fact that they are now compatible with two rear camera sensors. Both of them support up to a pair of 8-megapixel lenses. For single arrangements, the Snapdragon 439 can power a 21-megapixel snapper, while the Snapdragon 429 is limited to 16-megapixel. The Snapdragon 439 supports a maximum resolution of Full HD+ and the Snapdragon 432, HD+. Performance upgrades are largely marginal on these new processors especially in the case of the Snapdragon 439....

With a focus on scaling 5G and AI in 2020, Qualcomm has introduced the new SoCs with support for 5G, with the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 865 packing the Snapdragon X55 Modem-RF System, which Qualcomm says is the world’s most advanced 5G platform that will offer improved connectivity and better performance on the upcoming flagship smartphones. And, the Snapdragon 765/765G packing integrated 5G connectivity with AI processing and select Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Gaming experiences....
