The Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro and C7 Pro will apparently be the enhanced version of the Galaxy C5 and the C7 smartphone that were launched in China earlier this year. Just in case you are unaware, the Galaxy C series is the company’s latest range of device that aims to carve a niche for itself in the mid-range segment which is currently dominated by the Galaxy A and Galaxy J Series devices....
App Store Yes, Android has an application store as well, which nearly houses a million more listings than iOS’. As of late, however, Google’s Play Store’s design has been sort of a mess. The company continues to add more tabs and carousels which, as a matter of fact, even violates its own Material Design guidelines. Compared to the iOS App Store which neatly highlights titles across various categories, the Play Store is just an endless stream of apps and games....
Since that moment on, “selfie” gained a lot of popularity. Part of the reason why this happened has to do with the increasing number of social networks users. Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and Snapchat are just a few examples of where one could share a self-taken photo. Some mobile companies came up with innovative ideas for their Selfie smartphones to make it easier to take a good selfie, but what if a smartphone’s camera is just not enough?...
Some of these apps offer a few layers over what Google Maps have, but many of them operate on the Google Maps backbone, so, basically, you will see the same map (most of the times), but with a different level of details. On the other hand, some Map apps use topology maps (a.k.a. topo maps), these have great detail and terrain view, excellent for mountain hiking, but also have city and roads layers....

The Numbers The latest data from IDC unravels some interesting facts. The report says that there were 334.9 million smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2016 as opposed to 334.3 million last year. The overall year-over-year growth is the smallest growth ever recorded. The top rungs are still maintained by Samsung at the first place followed by Apple (despite the fall in shipments) but the things get interesting as we move down the ranks....
The Vivo X21i is the third smartphone in the X21 lineup, with the previous two phones being the Vivo X21 and Vivo X21 UD. The former features a Snapdragon 660 processor, whereas the latter features the highly touted under-display fingerprint sensor. Unlike the original Vivo X21, the all-new X21i comes with a MediaTek P60 octa-core chipset under the hood. The new chip from the Taiwanese chipmaker also features an in-built APU for handling AI tasks....
If you want to know how it all began and the turn of events related to NavIC support on Snapdragon 865, we have dedicated articles where we tested the claim ourselves as well as one that answers a few questions you may have. This article, however, is more generic and aims to explain the working of NavIC and its advantages. Treat this more like an explainer in the format of frequently asked questions....
In this article, we will talk about how to reuse an old smartphone and turn it into a useful device. 15 Cool Things to Do With Old Smartphones Many people have two or more smartphones. And often, the old one just sits around collecting dust. If you have an unused smartphone, be it an iPhone or an Android phone, there are many cool things you can do with old phones that will make them useful again....
Also, you should know the difference between Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows 8 Pro before you set sail onto this new journey. Because, if you’ll get a Windows RT device, such as the Surface tablet, you might be quite enfuriated that you won’t have the same user experience as someone with a Windows 8 tablet or hybrid. But let’s see what the first reviews can tell us about Windows 8....
Legendary football manager Jose Mourinho made “the Special One” a special term when he gave a press conference in 2004. He gave the term a meaning that went well beyond the words in it. The Special One henceforth was not just written in capitals but also referred to someone or something that was more than just special – it was used to refer to something that not everyone would like but whose quality could not be denied, even by its critics....
Xiaomi has launched the Mi Laser projector that comes with Mi TV built in. Users are given a choice between the dedicated remote or the smartphone app. The Mi Laser Projector boasts of ALPD 3.0, 5000 lumens brightness and a rated lifetime of 25,000 hours. The casing or the body has been built by Yorkey, an Optical Technology company while the Mi Laser users Texas Instruments technology for the DLP imaging chip and the optoelectronic technology....
In China, Xiaomi Mi5 comes in three variants, 3GB RAM/32GB Storage, 3GB RAM/64GB storage and 4GB RAM/128GB storage. For some reason, the company is bringing just the base variant to India, which should be a disappointment for many users. Mi5 is equipped with a 5.15-inch FHD display and it also bakes in the fingerprint scanner on the front, similar to iPhone 6S and Samsung Galaxy S7. The display is said to be more power efficient and will be able to work at a brightness of 600-nits....
The Xiaomi Redmi 5A is an update to the company’s Redmi 4A which was launched in India earlier this year. The variant that was spotted on TENAA comes with a 5-inch HD (1,280 x 720p) display. It seems that Xiaomi has also made some modifications to the design of the budget device. The Redmi 5A appears to sport a metal unibody design with horizontal antenna bands. That said, it’s too early to take a call on the same by simply looking at the TENAA images....
Given the specifications and looks of the TV, we are assuming that the ‘Lux’ in the name stands for luxurious edition and you will agree to when you find out more about the TV. The Mi TV Lux is an OLED TV which you may think is quite regular, but the twist here is that the OLED panel on the Mi TV Lux is transparent. Xiaomi had launched a variant of the Mi TV Lux earlier which had a 65-inch display but that did not have a transparent panel....
As per the Police records, a group of people tried using their Find my iPhone functionality and all of them were able to locate their phones with Henao on the Festival grounds. The festival goers then sought help from the local police who were able to easily pin down the iPhone thief. While most of the people have got their phones back, some of the devices are still lying with the lost and found section, a list of which is maintained on their website....
Well, the iPhone 12 is the new normal. Blast from past: Compact, simple, solid…and so so elegant For, the iPhone 12 is very different from its predecessors. Yes, it remains more affordable than the Pro series, and yes, it shares the same powerful A14 Bionic chip, but that apart, there have been changes. The most obvious of these is in terms of design – after the slightly tall iPhone 11 and XR, the iPhone 12 is surprisingly compact....
For Rs 23,999, the Galaxy F62 brings a whole lot to the smartphone table. In terms of both design and hardware. We got a unit with a rather unique lined pattern on the back, what Samsung terms a “laser gradient” design. The back itself is smooth and slightly glossy, but the lines on it give it a very different appearance. Samsung has also gone with a slightly square-ish camera unit on the back with a 64-megapixel Sony IMX682 main sensor (and a less impressive supporting cast of 12, 5, and 5-megapixel snappers), a change from the rectangles we have been seeing of late in their mid-segment offerings....
Samsung has attempted to do something similar with the Galaxy M51. 7000 mAh battery…in a surprisingly lean frame Just as Hero Honda had shown us that you could get terrific mileage from a motorbike that did everything else very well too, the Galaxy M51 delivers a huge battery and does so without cutting too many corners. We have had big battery phones in the past as well, but they generally tended to be bulky and slightly underpowered affairs, with not the greatest displays, cameras, or design....
Since then, there have been multiple updates to the OnePlus 7 Pro camera which has slowly, but surely, ensured that the camera isn’t anymore the Achilles Heel of the OnePlus 7 Pro. And that has been made possible thanks to Simon Liu and his team based out of Shenzhen and Taipei. Earlier this month, we had the unique opportunity to visit their new camera lab in Taipei, Taiwan and speak to the co-founder, Carl Pei as well as the Image Product Manager, Zake Zhang who works with Simon in the OnePlus camera team....
