The latest to join the Note gang, the Redmi Note 11T 5G, is actually the SEVENTH Redmi Note phone to be launched in India this year, making it perhaps one of the most well-populated phone series in the market. This Note-able population explosion could, however, confuse consumers. A few years ago, choosing a Note was as simple as opting for a Pro or a plain version. Today, it is a lot more complicated than that, with seven Notes to choose from, spanning a price range of Rs 13,999 to Rs 21,999....

Furthermore, tablets and Chromebooks have gotten substantially better over the last year, and customers have actually begun to consider them while looking for their next computer. These underestimated categories of computing devices have been aggressively snatching Windows’ share under Microsoft’s nose. Everything put together, it’s not difficult to understand why PC sales have been plummeting for five straight years. So, is there any way for Microsoft to come out of this deadlock?...

On the hitherto Windows 8.1 users felt left in the lurch with no news about the update, something that Microsoft had promised in the beginning, now it seems that a bunch of Lumia handsets will be treated to a Windows 10 upgrade. Microsoft’s Micheal Fortin quoted “Today, we’re pleased to begin the roll-out of Windows 10 Mobile to select Windows Phone 8.1 devices, Consistent with our approach to the Windows 10 PC upgrade, we are focused on delivering a high-quality experience for our customers....

The embargo was simple: certain members of the media were given access to a product before its release date and were asked not to write about it until a certain, which often was the release date. The reason for this was simple as well: to make sure the public had access to reviews of the product soon after it was released, and while doing so, also ensuring that the media had a level playing field....

In fact, it reminds us of the Nokia N95, which was initially promoted for its (then) amazing 5.0-megapixel camera and its two-way sliding design before the brand rejigged its messaging superbly to switch it to “this is what computers will become,” highlighting a number of other aspects of the device. Showstopper? Well, it is more Bond than Batman That does not mean that the Xiaomi 12 Pro is not good-looking....

MACE is designed to optimize mobile chips to support AI based tasks and has support for heterogeneous computing acceleration (CPU/GPU/DSP), TensorFlow/Caffe model, and multiple SoCs from well-known silicon manufacturers like Qualcomm and MediaTek. Currently, MACE is utilized to provide some AI based features like scene detection in the camera and portrait mode, to name a few, in Xiaomi devices. MIUI 10 also has some AI features like Xiaomi’s own voice assistant built-in which makes use of the MACE technology....

The Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter comes with an aircraft grade aluminum frame with a folding design. The easily foldable frame of the scooter will allow users to carry it easily with them even when not in use. Just to recall, the QiCycle from Xiaomi also came with a similar design philosophy. Apart from that, the electric scooter is quite light too at just 12.5kg and the can folded quite easily in just 3 secs with a press of a button....

Mi Band 4: Hardware The band features 6-axis high-precision sensors that allow it to recognize and track different types of activities....

Remember Loki using those words to a seemingly distraught Agent Romanoff in The Avengers? Well, he was referring to Dr. Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk, a massive green creature whose strength and size are unmatched even in the Marvel super hero universe – heck, the guys even thumped Thor (the God of Thunder) once. And well, we must confess that words similar to those of the Norse God of Trickery sprung to our mind when we first clapped eyes on the Mi Max....

What’s special about this announcement is that this is the first open sale for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G where Indian users are not required to register for the purchase. As you already know, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G will be available at Rs. 9,999 via Flipkart. As a reminder, let’s have a look at the top specs and features of the deivce: Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS with MIUI v5 skin on top Quad-core 1....

Reuters seems to have gotten hold of an internal document from the company which revealed that Xiaomi had earned $564-million from its Internet services. That being said, Xiaomi had initially set a target of $1-Billion for the Internet services and 100-Million for the number of devices shipped, both of which were out of reach for the company. The internet revenues are a result of the games and the mobile payment apps which surged a 150 percent Year-on-Year growth....

The Bluetooth Headset Air resembles the Apple AirPods in a lot of ways, right from its appearance to functions. The exterior housing is white in color (a black version is also available unlike the AirPods) with interchangeable earbuds of various sizes since this one is an in-ear type earphone, unlike the AirPods. What’s exactly like the AirPods though is the ability to control your music playback using touch controls on the earbuds themselves....

The Xolo ZX features a 6.22-inch HD display with a notch at the top, 2.5D curved glass design, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top. Under the hood, it is powered by a 2.0 GHz Octa Core MediaTek Helio P22 chipset with AI Gaming Mode for additional GPU resources, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage (expandable up to 256GB using a microSD card)....

Apple and Microsoft. Those two are supposed to be on as good terms as Real Madrid and Barcelona, in football terms. Or Iran and Israel, in political ones. Each claims to be not just a rival but an ideological superior to the other. It is not just about market share, but about values and indeed, at some level, life itself. And yet, it is these two companies that provide us with perhaps the best Friendship Day story in the world of technology....

Very mainstream, very Vivo looks iQOO has positioned the iQOO 7 as mainly a gaming device, just like it had done with the iQOO 3. Well, you could not say so by looking at it. Unlike phones like Asus ROG that scream “gaming” in your face the moment you clap eyes on them, the iQOO 7 has a very mainstream appearance. Make that “a very polished mainstream appearance.” Indeed, we think it borrows a few pages from the design book of its sister brand, Vivo....

The OnePlus 7 Pro is the brand’s shiny new flagship smartphone and while it ditches the affordable flagship segment and competes directly against flagships from other premium brands, the younger, less-talked-about sibling, the OnePlus 7 sticks to the brand’s initial core philosophy of providing a flagship-grade experience at an affordable price. Can it still retain the flagship killer tag though? Let’s find out in our first impressions of the device....

It has not been long since Realme stepped in the smartphone business but the brand is already one of the top five smartphone brands in the country, and is seen by many as the closest thing Xiaomi has to a real challenger, thanks to its similar product proposition. After launching the Realme 1 and Realme 2, the brand has now added a new number to the list, the Realme 3....

Plastic can look…well, different (and even “fantastic!”) And well, fans are definitely going to like the slightly different look and feel of the Galaxy S20 FE. The front is obviously a Super AMOLED 6.5-inch Infinity O display with a punch-hole notch in the center, but it is the back that is going to catch attention. Yes, the camera arrangement is the now-standard sensors arranged in a rectangular unit on the top left section (and it juts out in a manner that worries us), but it is the colors that will make the phone stand out....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjKd24UCPYY Get your flying “gear” on, birdy! The company in its latest ad has motivated an ostrich to fly with the help of Gear VR and Samsung Galaxy S8. The ad shows an ostrich that accidentally wears the Gear VR with a Galaxy S8 in it – it actually went in search of food and ended up with a Gear VR (the luck these birds have). The ostrich after putting on the Gear VR experiences the joy of flying because of a flight simulator app which was already running on the device (such coincidences) which actually inspires the ostrich to fly (years of evolution?...

Trust Apple to ignore both. Bloody typical. The Cupertino based tech giant has created a new ad that along with highlighting a major part of its tech product portfolio, also features an utterly non-tech product that the legendary tech brand patented years ago. Oh and at a time when most brands rarely venture beyond the sixty-second mark, it has gone with a three-minute ad! “Apple at Work— The Underdogs” is a three-minute ad film that features a number of products from the company along with a pizza box....
