On the storage front, the Vibe S1 offers 32GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot. The Vibe S1 comes with a dual front camera setup, made up of a 8-Megapixel sensor and a 2-Megapixel senor which will work in tandem just like the dual camera setup found on the likes of HTC One M8. As expected, the 2-Megapixel sensor will be used to add the depth to the photographs while the 8-Megapixel sensor will still perform the primary task of capturing photos....

Simple Inglese? You get an image with washed out color because of too much light or the light seems to cover too much of the image, blurring out everything else in what seems like an explosion of light. A lot of people use a lens hood on cameras to dodge lens flare. And as per most photographers, lens flare is something that one should try to avoid, as it interferes with the image quality, blurring it....

Despite Qualcomm announcing the updated Wear 3100 SoC, the poor optimization of Wear OS from Google meant that the same old issues plagued watches even with the newer chip. Sluggish UI and barely a day’s worth of battery life just did not make the cut if one had to spend over $300 for a smartwatch. Just as consumers started to lose all hope for an ideal Wear OS smartwatch that could give the Apple Watch a run for its money, Google announced a radical shift in direction for Wear OS at the I/O 2021....

Which does not make its appearance any less pleasant. The OnePlus 2 is cut from a different design cloth than its predecessor. It is tad less curvy than the OnePlus One, and its top and base do not curve out the way its predecessors’ did. Even though it too has a 5.5 inch full HD display (cue complaints of ‘how can it kill flagships if it ain’t quad HD’?), it is actually shorter and less wide than the OnePlus One, which many with smaller hands had found a tad unweildy – the OnePlus 2 is 151....

You know, the type who arrives at a discotheque in an immaculate suit, when everyone is dressed casually.

For at the end of the day, that is what the Gray Ash variant of the Nord is – the same specs, pretty much the same design as the original Nord....

Great specs for that price The result: Rs 10,999 for the base Poco M3 variant gets you a whole lot more than most of the competition can summon up. You get a very decent 6.53-inch full HD+ display (we have brands still doing HD+ displays at higher price points as India’s Poco head rather bitingly pointed out at the launch), a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor, 6 GB RAM, 64 GB of storage (UFS 2....
