For the first time, Huawei is taking a dual-SoC approach with the Kirin 990. Instead of offering one chipset, it is offering two — the Kirin 990 with 4G connectivity and the Kirin 990 5G with both 4G and 5G connectivity. Albeit, as of now, there are very sparse adoption rates expected for 5G in the near future, Huawei is still pushing forward to get on the 5G forefront with its newest 5G chipset....

The Huawei P30 Pro features a 6.47-inch Full HD+ OLED display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 2340×1080 pixels screen resolution, and a dewdrop notch on the top. Under the hood, it is powered by a 7nm-based Octa-Core HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset with Mali-G76MP10 GPU, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage (expandable up to 256GB). The device comes with IP68 dust and water resistance and uses an optical in-display fingerprint scanner for authentication....

This is pretty much the size of a smartphone. The device weighs just 200 grams, so this is truly a portable computer that you can anywhere you go....

It might be best known for its iPhones and computers and other cool gadgets, but one of the biggest names in tech, Apple is at the forefront of digitization of education as well. And we got a glimpse of it recently at TechConX, an education technology conference by Canadian International School (CIS) in Bangalore. Today’s students are increasingly digital natives. The way they interact with technology is vastly different from the way their predecessors did....

If installing the cracked applications is the main motive behind jailbreaking, a certain iPhone hacker, iPAGod has found a way to do that without jailbreaking your device, so that you still retain the Apple warranty. Shockingly enough, iPAGod app is not using any new or existing exploit in iOS. Rather, it uses a method created by Apple for developers to share their apps for beta testing over the internet. iPAGod lets you install cracked Apps on iPhone iOS 4....

We are talking of Soan Papdi, a sweet that is a very popular gift in Indian festivals, especially during Diwali, the festival of light. Rare indeed is the middle class Indian household that does not get in line at a sweets shop for a Soan Papdi Ka Dabba (a box of Soan Papdi) at this time. And gorges on the sweet when it does come home. Every year! The iPhone is becoming a bit like that....

While Safari will let you download files, there are some problems with it. Firstly, Safari won’t show a progress bar, so if you’re downloading a 200 MB file on a slow connection, you’re basically praying to the ghost of Steve Jobs that the download doesn’t time out. Plus, once the file is downloaded, you’ll be asked to open it in an app, and then the file belongs to that app’s storage....

When Steve Jobs revealed the iPad to the world in 2010, he positioned the device as something that was neither a keyboardless notebook nor an extended smartphone. Instead, it was what would be famously referred to as a “third screen” that came between a notebook and a smartphone, combining features of both and actually doing some things (such as browsing the Web and lasting longer on a single charge) better than both....

Asus CEO Shen Zhenlai (Jerry Shen) has announced that he would step down his post, and focus on the AI field. This ends his eleven year tenure with the company, one in which he was seen as the main force behind devices like the PadFone, Transformer series, the ZenBook series and of course, the Zenfone. The company’s board of directors has replaced him with two Co CEOs, Xu Xianyue (the general manager of the PC division) and Hu Shubin, who is part of the Global Customer Service team....

The Net Neutrality debate in India Just like Netflix started the Net Neutrality debate in the US, the Net Neutrality debate in India was started by a popular app as well,i.e., WhatsApp Messenger. When WhatsApp introduced the voice calling feature on its app, Airtel decided to charge for VoIP related data separately. People were furious at Airtel’s attempt to make extra money by charging for VoIP data separately and used Net Neutrality as a tool in their fight against the operator....

That was the query of the most of the non-tech media in India (and they do end up at tech events – how and why is another story for another blog, perhaps) were asking at the launch of the Jolla phone at an event in Delhi a few days ago. Some wondered if Jolla was doing something for the “handicapped” (a term regrettably still in use in this country) and whether the tall, slim, bearded person with a shrunk right arm, in a T-shirt and jeans was a representative of that initiative....

The prolific leaker in the gadget space, @evleaks posted a tweet showing the render of LG Lifeband Touch. Last year, at CES 2013, LG had announced a similar activity tracking device which never made it to the market shelves. The Lifeband Touch might actually be an improved version of the same. Right now, we don’t have much information about what this particular wearable device can do or when exactly it will be announced, but CES 2014 being just about a week away, we can safely bet about LG divulging more details at the Las Vegas trade show....

lenovo K5 Note Specifications and Price The K5 note seems like a relaunch as Lenovo had already released a phone with the same moniker long back in India. Coming to the specifications of the device, the Lenovo K5 Note comes with a 6-inch IPS display with the modern 18:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, there’s a 1.8GHz Snapdragon 450 quad-core processor along with 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of internal storage....

LG G8X ThinQ Design As already mentioned, the LG G8X ThinQ takes a dual-display approach to offer its version of a foldable smartphone. The new form factor offers a detachable case to house the G8x, which acts as a secondary display and uses a 360 Freestop Hinge to allow it to be adjusted at different viewing angles, just like a laptop. The phone is MIL-STD 810G compliant and has an IP68 dust-and-water resistant certification....

The reputed tipster further leaks that the LG Q6 will come with the same 18:9 display as found in the G6. This falls in line with Technobuffalo’s previous report which also reveals that the smartphone would have nearly 80% screen to body ratio. The LG Q6 is expected to come with a smaller 5.4-inch display. For the uninitiated, the LG G6 comes with 5.7-inch (2,880x1440p) IPS LCD panel. The alleged LG Q6 has apparently cleared FCC with the code name of M700....

LG Velvet: Design and Display In terms of design, the Velvet features what LG likes to call a Symmetrical Ellipse design and has a teardrop notch on the top for the front camera. The back of the device has a triple-camera setup, with three small circular lenses in decreasing order of their size. Towards the front, it has a 6.8-inch Cinema FullVision display with a 20.5:9 aspect ratio. LG Velvet: Performance At its core, the LG Velvet is powered by the Snapdragon 765G processor with Adreno 620 GPU and X52 modem for 5G connectivity....

The third generation of the LG L series is born with three mobile devices that boost metallic colors and integrate narrow bezels. As you’ve probably hinted, all these smartphones come with 3G connectivity and the latest version of Android 4.4 KitKat (which is a very nice treat for a phone with a modest price). Another thing we’ve observed pretty soon is that there’s very few things which set these phones apart, except of course for internal components and size....

Meizu 16T: Design and Display The Meizu 16T features an all-glass design and comes in three colors: Green, Orange, and Blue. It has a glass back on the rear and a 6.5-inch (2232 x 1080 pixels) Full HD+ Super AMOLED display. The display offers up to 600 nits of brightness and supports 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. Since there is no fingerprint scanner on the rear, the display has a Super mTouch in-display fingerprint scanner integrated into the display for authentication, which, according to the company, takes only 0....
