The RealMe 2 retains Oppo’s signature diamond-cut exterior with one significant change. The front now has a notch at the top of a larger 6.2-inch screen. The resolution, though, oddly has been downgraded to 720p as opposed to 1080p found on the RealMe 1. Another critical change RealMe has made is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset which theoretically is a step back from the MediaTek Helio P60 powering the new phone’s predecessor....
The Realme C3 is the brand’s entry-level smartphone and aims to offer the best bang for your buck at Rs. 7,000. And that starts right from the core of the smartphone, which comes fitted with a MediaTek Helio G70. It’s the first time we are seeing this chipset on any smartphone, let alone at this price point. It’s a huge leap compared to the Helio P22 on the Realme C2, and on paper, it is miles ahead of the Snapdragon 439 found on the Redmi 8A which should be the closest competitor till Redmi 9A comes out....
The Galaxy A40 features a 5.9-inch 2280 x 1080 pixels Full HD+ Infinity-U Super AMOLED display on the front and a 3D Glasstic back, found on the Galaxy A30 and A50, on the rear. It is powered by an Octa-Core 14nm-based Exynos 7885 processor with Mali-G71 GPU, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage (expandable up to 512GB via micro SD card). The A40 sports a fingerprint scanner mounted on the rear, for authentication, and USB Type-C for charging and data transfer....
The renders further showcased all the four color variants of the upcoming smartphones. For those wondering, the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) and Galaxy J5 (2017) would be coming in Black, Blue, Gold and Rose Gold hues. Externally, these smartphones would come with a rather unconventional rear design. Instead of having horizontal antenna bands, Samsung had decided to make two U-shaped bands on the extreme top and bottom corners of the rear metal housing....
Samsung Galaxy M21: Design and Display In terms of design, the Galaxy M21 comes with a gradient finish back, with a triple camera cutout aligned vertically and a fingerprint scanner. It comes in two color options: Midnight Blue and Raven Black. Towards the front, the phone features a 6.4-inch Infinity-U Super AMOLED display with a waterdrop-style notch to house the front-facing camera. The display offers a 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution with a 19....
There’s no denial that Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is one of the most anticipated phones of 2016. So it isn’t quite a surprise to see the large number of rumors that are doing rounds in the web over the past weeks. While it is already confirmed that the flagship Note 7 is launching on August 2 globally, no information regarding the India launch were known so far. Well, it seems that the India launch isn’t far away....
To recall, the Galaxy Z Flip is the second foldable smartphone from the brand but is not necessarily a successor to the Galaxy Fold which follows a different design language. Unlike its big brother, the Galaxy Fold, the Galaxy Z Flip is a clamshell-type device that opens up vertically and folds into a smaller form factor that’s easily pocketable. On the inside of the Galaxy Z Flip is the Snapdragon 855+ chipset and thankfully, Samsung has retained the same internals even for the variant going to be sold in India, unlike the S20 series which gets the Exynos 990 SoC instead of the Snapdragon 865 on the US variants....
Samsung has been bullish about the Bixby, and since the company senses that the smart AI-powered speakers are the future, it’s very likely that Vega will be offered in different variants. This is what Samsung VP Injong Lee had to say in a recent blog post, “Starting with our smartphones, Bixby will be gradually applied to all our appliances. In the future, you would be able to control your air conditioner or TV through Bixby....
At their special event in London, today, Samsung has announced the Ativ Q tablet that comes with two operating systems: Windows 8 and Android. Apparently, consumers all over the world are not satisfied only with ATIV Smart PC that comes Windows 8 and they need also Android to go along with it. It’s an interesting move from Samsung, but I’m really curious who is that informed as to buy a device that comes with Windows 8 and Android (4....
If one decides to settle for the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, he/she will be receiving Samsung’s Gear VR and a Samsung Level U – Stereo Wireless headset absolutely free. Additionally, Samsung will be offering an Oculus VR content voucher worth INR 3,300 ($50) approximately and one-time screen replacement for a period of 12 months from the date of activation. Out of these, certainly the display change policy will appeal to many as in theory, it should cost a bomb for regular users....

The Snapdragon Wear 3100, which was supposedly meant to address the poor battery issues that plagued the Wear 2100 SoC is still not in major circulation and the devices that use the new chipset still struggle to get a past a full day’s usage. With all these shortcomings generally accompanied by a hefty price tag, does it make sense to invest in a WearOS smartwatch in 2019? I used the Skagen Falster 2 and the Misfit Vapor over an extended period of time to gauge if it does make performing smartphone-related tasks easier....

A regular design, no “+” to it Unlike truly wireless earphones that come in different shapes, sizes and designs, there is only so much you can do in terms of design when it comes to their slightly wired counterparts. There has to be a long wire with some module(s) in the middle with earbuds at each end. And that is the basic template of most wireless earphones. It is also exactly what the Skullcandy Jib+ looks like – a long wire that goes around the neck, with two pill-shaped modules and earbuds on the two ends of the wire....
To counter this, although there are a handful of different alternatives to VPNs, most of the time you either run into certain problems/or have to make some compromises in exchange for the service on a majority of them. However, one service that aims to make accessing geo-restricted content easier, without having to compromise on other aspects, that too at a relatively lower price, is Smart DNS Proxy. But what exactly is Smart DNS Proxy, how is it different from a VPN, and why should one consider it over VPNs to unblock geo-restricted content?...
This trend was first observed when the Snapdragon 650 was unveiled and the performance it provided on a mid-range smartphone like the Redmi Note 3 surprised a lot of people. Then onwards, Qualcomm has added more such chipsets to its portfolio which can be used on smartphones that do not cost a lot of money but still provide solid performance, the Snapdragon 660 being a prime example. While the 660 was not used by a lot of OEMs initially, it has recently gained a lot of popularity with the likes of Asus, Realme, and Xiaomi using it on their devices priced less than Rs 15,000....
The report is available online, but here are some of the striking points in it: (the data is based on global cumulative sales in the Q3’18 – Q2’19 period) Nokia is the boss of software updates It might still be on the road back to sales supremacy, but when it comes to software updates, Nokia is in a zone of its own. A staggering 96 percent of its phones run on Android Pie, with only 4 percent on the previous version, Android 8....
Remember GroupShot? That magical app which blew our mind few months back. The developers behind GroupShot are back with another app for iPhone, which they call StillShot. StillShot might not be as magical as GroupShot, but it is incredibly useful. How often you have felt sad for missing that perfect moment while clicking a photo? How often have you gone to take a picture and realized your iPhone was still in video mode?...
So at last, it all comes down to this: how secure is your internet browser? What kind of hidden things it shares? As much as we love to use free services, is there any dark side of this coin we are not aware of? How can we use some little unknown services to prevent ourselves from these brutal hacks? And, what changes you could make to strengthen the security of your browser?...
