While technology trends have always shifted, the need for more has remained constant. Following this philosophy, we expect 2013 to be the year of the average consumer, but without leaving burn marks on the back of business clients. The market for software and hardware products has expanded exponentially this year and it’s hard to believe that the trend will not apply for the next. What does 2013 has in store for the tech industry?...
The HTC 10 comes equipped with a 5.2-inch QHD display and draws its power from the Snapdragon 820 alongside a 4GB of RAM. On the imaging front the HTC 10 boasts of a 12-Ultrapixel primary camera and a 5-Megapixel secondary one. The camera unit will be studded with features like Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), f/1.8 aperture, Pro Mode, Zoe Capture, hyper lapse, 12X slow motion mode and 4K video recording....
To begin with, the Huawei Nova 2s features a 6-inch Full HD+ display on the front with an aspect ratio of 18:9. Flaunting the company’s signature all-glass body, the phone looks every bit of high-end as its price. Huawei has also managed to cram in a narrow home button on the chin which houses the fingerprint sensor as well. Under the hood, the Nova 2s is powered by Huawei’s Kirin 960 octa-core processor, 6/4GB of RAM, 128GB internal storage that is expandable up to 256GB and a non-removable 3340mAh battery....
That good old camera app The camera app on the iPhones has been pretty basic, and while some people were expecting to see a few fireworks with the introduction of iOS 11, the camera app still remains largely the same. And unlike the iPhone 8 Plus that has a few additional photography tricks up its sleeve, the interface on the iPhone 8’s camera app remains more or less unchanged. The camera app has a circular white shutter button right in the middle; there is a gallery icon on the left and the camera switch (from rear to front) icon on the right....
The Lenovo K9 is a budget-oriented smartphone with a few features that make it seem more expensive than what it costs. For starters, both the front and back sport 2.5D curved glass which is a rarity in this segment. Then there’s a USB Type-C port which again, is usually found on more premium smartphones. The K9 houses a 5.7-inch HD+ display with an aspect ratio of 18:9 which does not have a notch surprisingly and many might consider this as a boon....
The X cam is equipped with a 5.2-inch FHD display and is powered by a 1.14GHz octa-core powerhouse paired with a meagre 2GB of RAM. On the storage front, the device offers 16GB of onboard storage and a microSD card slot that can accommodate up to 256GB. The LG X cam comes with brushed aluminium finish and it seemingly shares some of its design lines with the LG G5. The imaging setup consists of the 13-Megapixel dual camera (13MP Standard Lens+5MP Wide Angle Lens) primary sensor and an 8-Megapixel secondary sensor....
Apple’s support communities and forums like Reddit were flooded with reports from users who claimed that the MacBook Pro has been returning a battery life of only 3-6 hours as opposed to the rated 13 hours. Later on, it was known that the folks who reported relied on the estimated battery life figures shown when one was clicking on the battery icon and this was apparently displaying the inaccurate estimate....
The problem with the “great specs and performance at an affordable price” formula, of course, was that it could be copied. And copied it was. With telling effect. The years that have passed since the arrival of the Moto G have seen manufacturers not just clone its essence but boost up spec sheets and undercut its price significantly, so much so that the previous Moto G was reduced to fighting purely on ‘experience,’ something that is not seen too often in the spec-heavy world of Android devices....
DESIGN and BUILD While both of these phones feature an aluminum unibody, there’s a substantial difference in their aesthetics. The OnePlus 3T comes with a more conventional design that feels comfortable to hold for prolonged periods and flaunts enough zing to attract a few eyes. The Z2 Play, on the other hand, carries the company’s signature chassis with rounded corners with a bar of sixteen pogo pins on the rear and a more visible camera bump that can be an annoyance at times....
OnePlus One: Captain America The first one makes a mark…always The first (and some say the truly original) Avenger reflects the very OnePlus device best. Like Captain America, the OnePlus One was a bold experiment in a market that was getting very predictable. Just as Steve Rogers, a virtual nobody, was transformed into a superhero by some very innovative technology, OnePlus was transformed from being a run of the mill device, thanks to some supremely clever technology and marketing....
In a forum post, OnePlus mentioned that they’ll be releasing the update to the masses in the next quarter. The update is as of now, limited to OnePlus 2, although OnePlus One and X users might also soon receive it. Until then, non-supported handsets will have to use the Jio4GVoice app (previously Jio Join) in order to make high-definition calls over Jio 4G network in India. Their OnePlus 3 flagship phone supports the functionality out-of-the-box though....
But even though its starting price of Rs 41,999 was a pleasant surprise for Indian users, there is no doubt that the OnePlus 8 does face considerable competition even at that price point (as we pointed out earlier). This is why unlike the 7 and 7T which were seen as the best options at their price points, the OnePlus 8 has a lot more to contend with, including its own predecessor, the OnePlus 7T....
The company announces today that users can grab the Cardboard VR for free, as long as they are willing to take care of the shipping expense, which is $5 in the US, £5 in the UK, and €7 in rest of Europe. The OnePlus Cardboard is based on Google’s Cardboard, which the Mountain View-based company had given away to attendees at its I/O developer conference last year. Since then, we have seen plenty of Cardboard VR sets crop up on the market....
Also, the new generation of smartphones and tablets, like the new iPhone 5 (which has lots of new features) or the Samsung Galaxy S 3 give children the possibility to navigate the web and interact with others on social sites. This puts them in danger of becoming victims of cyberbullying or navigating, even by accident on adult websites. The good part is that developers of Android and iOS apps are working on making smartphones safer for children, restricting these websites or apps from being installed....
Today, while sifting through Apple’s recent patent filing, I stumbled upon a patent application strengthening the claims of Rock Fix. The title of the patent application is Dual SIM Dual Standby with Caller ID Enhancement. I found that our friends at Patently Apple uncovered this patent first on July 29th in this article. Patently Apple, however, missed a unique feature mentioned in the claim 9 of patent application US’421 that sets it apart from the crowd of other dual SIM smartphones....
Aside from the Bing problem, the default search window also lacks advanced search features. If you’re someone who works mostly on their keyboard and relies on CLI, you can relate to this problem. In which case, naturally, your obvious move here would be to opt for some other launchers that offer flexibility and functionality to open items or execute commands more efficiently. If you find yourself in the same boat, Microsoft has its PowerToys Run as an answer to your problem....
At a Q&A session with a section of journalists in Hawaii, Miguel Nunes who heads Product Management for Qualcomm confirmed that they are at the final stages of supporting Chromium builds and we should be expecting Snapdragon-powered Chromebooks by H2 2019. He specified that the Chromebooks would initially not be based on the latest Snapdragon 8CX. “We want to start with affordable Chromebooks so that the initial products will be based on the Snapdragon 845“, says Nunes....
Realme Buds Air Neo In terms of design, the Buds Air Neo appear to have a similar design as the Buds Air, with a semi-open design and a charging case. The earbuds feature a 13mm dynamic boost driver that suggests offering a bass-heavy sound, and they connect over Bluetooth 5.0. Buds Air Neo comes in three color options: White, Red, and Green. At its core, the earbuds are powered by the R1 chip, which, according to the company, aids it in offering a 119....
Realme Buds Wireless 2: Box Content The headphones come in a rather large white rectangular box. Upon opening the box, one is first greeted with the Realme Buds Wireless 2 in a plastic enclosure. Sliding the packaging open underneath the plastic case reveals more items, such as an extra pair of earbuds, a USB Type-C cable, and a quick-start card. Build, Design and Fit Starting with the build, the earphones are quite well made....
The RealMe C1 has a 6.2-inch screen with a resolution of 720p and a notch at the top. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 450 octa-core chipset, 2GB RAM, 16GB of internal storage which can be expanded through a MicroSD card slot, and a large 4,230mAh battery. There are two cameras on the rear — a regular 13-megapixel lens and another 2-megapixel sensor for depth-sensing. On the front, you’ll find a 5-megapixel selfie camera as well....
