The geek was plucked from the blogosphere – that mysterious part of the universe where the tech savvy lurk. He was put through an intensive training routine. He was taught to speak a dozen languages, was made to do push ups with both hands tied behind his back, run miles with his left foot tied to his right wrist, learn to forget pain and focus on inner peace while he was being eaten alive by white ants…and so on....
The steps involved in flashing the ROM would however differ from the ones followed to flash an Android phone. If you want to access the flashing guide, you are required to register for the Microsoft Insiders program first. Rest assured that at any point of time if you want to revert back to MIUI, you can do so by flashing the MIUI ROM. The caveat lies in the fact that the Windows 10 comes only as a Chinese version, thus indirectly barring the non-Chinese users....
What’s the USP of the OnePlus 7? It’s got to be the performance that you’re getting for the given price. The OnePlus 7 comes with the Snapdragon 855 SoC and the raw speed that you get with the chipset makes the OnePlus 7 one of the fastest phones in the market – be it for performing day-to-day tasks or for intense PUBG battles. If speed is what you need and performance is at the top of your priority list, the OnePlus 7 will surely not disappoint....
The new OnePlus X comes with class leading features and a design that is by no yardstick borrowed from its sibling, and from the looks of it it, seems OnePlus has ensured to the fact that the X looks apart. But specs-wise, it’s dangerously similar to the good old OnePlus One. Design The phone will come in two variations – the Onyx and a limited Ceramic edition, and the titles are not just fancy names....
Turns on the style The Reno series has been known for its snazzy design, and the Reno 6 Pro 5G carries this tradition forward. We got the Aurora edition (there is a Stellar Black one too), and we think it will catch a lot of attention, with its ability to change colors depending on the angle at which light falls on it. The back has a matte, slightly grainy-textured finish which Oppo calls the Reno Glow, and is remarkable for its ability to stay comparatively stain and smudge-free....

As per its report, Xiaomi says it saw a 177 percent increase in the edutainment category, along with a 205 percent increase in overall kids streaming....
That apart, Paytm has also been instrumental in creating a space for mobile payments in India, a market that later attracted Samsung Pay, Google Tez and other payment companies to bring their services to India. Paytm is now all set to take on WhatsApp with its in-app messaging facility. The Paytm messaging service is called “Inbox” and is already available for iOS and Android users. How Does Paytm Inbox work?...

Qualcomm X70 5G Modem with AI – How is it different? We have seen AI implementation on mobile processors for a while, but with the Qualcomm X70 5G, we are witnessing an AI processor dedicated to network management for the very first time. The X70 5G modem uses this section of the modem to mmWave Beam management using AI algorithms developed by Qualcomm. This results in better signal coverage and strength indoors....
Most of these desktop image editors and online image editors fail miserably when it comes to PNG image resizing, especially when retaining Transparency. They always remove the transparent background and replace it with a colored one. Latest version of Irfan View does show an option to resize PNG images AND retain transparency, but I never figured out how to use it successfully. Using Adobe Photoshop solves the issue, since it has an inbuilt plugin to resize PNG image cleanly....

Plastic CAN look fantastic! Some people think that a phone with a plastic back cannot look premium. They clearly have not used the realme X. For, there is no denying that the X looks premium from the word go. The phone is available in two shades – Polar White and Space Blue (there are also the famous Garlic and Onion special editions, which will be released later). We got the Polar White edition and it looked downright gorgeous....
And for the most part, the cameras so far have lived up to the Realme tradition. We have been snapping pictures with them for a few days and the results have by and large been impressive. Mind you, we really think that one is better off taking pictures of places rather than people with them, as textures get captured beautifully. Human subjects, on the other hand, seem to suffer from a bit of smoothening, courtesy the software and AI, we suspect....
Realme X50 Pro: Scoring on specs It does come with perhaps the most elegant and understated design that we have seen on a Realme device (the frosted glass back finish is so reminiscent of the OnePlus 7T series and the double punch hole in the front is classy), but it is really the hardware that makes the phone a star. The star of the show, of course, is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, which is THE flagship processor in the mobile world at the time of talking, and comes with plenty of RAM and storage to spare – there are 6 GB/ 128 GB, 8 GB/ 128 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB options....
Shipments go up by a record margin The first quarter of the year saw 340 million smartphones being shipped all over the world.

The image shared along with the tweet shows a U-shaped notch on the top of the smartphone that houses the 32MP front-facing sensor for selfies. Taking into consideration the previous generation Redmi Y2 that also focussed on better image quality and provided a 16MP sensor, we can expect its successor, the Redmi Y3 to showcase some good quality images out of its 32MP sensor on the front. Y wait? The #32MPSuperSelfie is coming your way soon....
To give you some context, in September last year, TRAI extended the deadline for implementation of the Bill & Keep (B&K) pricing regime, which left Jio no other option but to start charging its customers for off-net voice calls to offset the losses incurred due to IUC. However, while the company announced that it will start charging customers for off-net calls, it also announced that these calling charges are only going to be applicable for the time being — until TRAI abolishes Interconnect Usage Charge (IUC)....
Samsung has apparently applied for a patent for the next generation scrollable TV in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The company essentially aims to take the scrollable display technology which they built for their future smartphones onto a TV. That’s a tough task indeed. LG Display apparently was the first to the race as they showcased an 18-inch rollable OLED display during the CES earlier this year. While a TV with an 18-inch panel may be puny by today’s standards, making a scrollable display that large is one challenging task....
Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Design and Display Going by the name, one would assume that the S10 Lite follows the same design language as the S10. However, that’s not the case with the S10 Lite, as it rather takes a much different design approach and comes with a glossy plastic panel at the back with a rectangular camera module for the rear cameras. Towards the front, it includes minimal bezels all around and features a 6....
