The Phone Case in itself serves multiple purposes apart from offering better lens. The lens can be screwed to the case within seconds and according to Moment, this is the only case that lets you attach the lens on either side the case. The case will also come baked in with a 2,500mAh/3,500mAh power bank that is literally expected to double the battery backup. That said users can either opt for a phone case without the battery....

Impressive numbers, limited Interface The new addition to the G family comes with a 12.0-megapixel primary camera and 5.0- megapixel secondary camera. Yes, we know that its predecessor, the Moto G4 Plus came with an extra megapixel but the G5 Plus comes with a larger aperture – f/1.7 which is a rarity to see in this price band (to see the different aperture can make, check our Tech Detox). The same aperture value was seen in the high-end Samsung Galaxy S7, which is considered by many to have one of the best cameras ever seen on a phone....

The Camera App While the P20 Pro’s camera muscle continues to impress, its camera app and post-processing algorithms have been a big letdown. For starters, the app will sometimes show a warning after you’ve clicked a picture which will say “sharpening the photo, please steady your device” and if God forbid, you move your phone in that two-second spell, you will be left with an unprocessed shot. That essentially means it will be undersaturated, contrast levels won’t be balanced, basically, you’ll have to try again....

Update 2: We did some digging around and it seems that the notification only addresses the earlier standing order which had a flat rate of 41.492% for any item costing over Rs 2,000. That limit has now been increased to Rs 50,000. So any item whose CIF value is less than Rs 50,000 will be assessed at appropriate duty rates (usually between 2 to 28%), and not at a flat rate of 41....

HERE maps will be finally handed over to AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG as part of deal that is expected to be concluded by the first quarter of 2016. HERE was sort of orphaned after Nokia sold off its handset business to Microsoft and ever since then its future has been in dark. According to TechCrunch, it is still not clear on how Nokia envisages to handle HEREs 6,454 staff and the significant headcount also seems to be the reason why the Finnish giant was keen on selling off its Maps business....

Update – 1: The offer has expired, it didn’t last for long this time. Norman antivirus and antispyware is a wel-known product in corporate circles and not so popular amongst home users. This is because, traditionally, Norman is known to have an interface which only a techie guy can love and others usually found the interface to be unfriendly. But its not the case now. Normal Antivirus and Antispyware protects you against Internet threats such as viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits and spyware....

The steps involved in flashing the ROM would however differ from the ones followed to flash an Android phone. If you want to access the flashing guide, you are required to register for the Microsoft Insiders program first. Rest assured that at any point of time if you want to revert back to MIUI, you can do so by flashing the MIUI ROM. The caveat lies in the fact that the Windows 10 comes only as a Chinese version, thus indirectly barring the non-Chinese users....

That is a quote attributed by Steve Jobs to Pablo Picasso. And going by that definition, there are a lot of good artists around in the world of tech. But then, not everyone subscribes to that definition, which leads to accusations of copycat time and again, with the accusers sometimes becoming the accused. Copying, intentional or accidental, has been around for a while, but then it surfaces from time to time, creates a stir, and then disappears....

Today, of course, one can change an image with a few taps on one’s phone, thanks to the likes of Instagram, Pixlr, and even Adobe’s own Photoshop Express. But most mobile image editing apps restrict themselves to adding filters that change or add color accents to an image. What if one wanted to do something, well, more artistic, without getting caught up in the whole ‘layer editing’ business? Well, that is where Prisma comes in....

Not just that, though, Quora is also a useful tool for small to medium businesses who can use it to generate awareness about their products, gain organic reach, and reach out to diverse audiences by engaging with questions that revolve around their own products and services.
