And let’s get this straight – the OnePlus Avengers Infinity War edition (to give it its full name) is the most striking special edition OnePlus we have ever seen. Yes, it has exactly the same dimensions and button placement as the regular OnePlus 6 (read our first impressions here), but unlike its predecessors which largely depended on a different shade and/or a logo to stand out, this OnePlus sees some serious design work, and is perhaps the most “stand out in a crowd” OnePlus we have seen for a while....

Plus new design with same hardware muscle To be fair, OnePlus has tried to be different in design terms. The company has been tweaking the appearance of its device from the very outset – remember the Sandstone finish backs of the OnePlus One and 2 – and after a flirtation night with metal in the 3/3T and 5/5T, it now turns to glass, which seems to be the latest flagship favorite....

That crazy spec sheet! The OnePlus 9 Pro does cut a very smart figure with its relatively slim (8.7 mm) frame and its silver grey-ish Morning Mist finish (we think Forest Green looks the best, with Stellar Black for the understated types) on the slightly glossy, glassy back, complete with a quad-camera rectangular unit (with a couple of big lenses) in the corner with Hasselblad branding. No, this is not a small or super light phone (197 grams), but the weight seems very well distributed....

Not just region specific, but there are some features that have been added to the global Oxygen OS firmware on the OnePlus 7 series smartphones. Options like Fnatic mode, which is essentially a gaming mode that blocks all your notifications and calls and restricts background data. Also related to gaming is the new option to record your screen while you play games, along with the option to record in-game sounds, which is really helpful....

Oppo Ace 2: Design and Display From the first look, the Ace 2 appears to have a striking design, with a circular camera module housing the quad-camera array on the rear and a hole-punch display with minimal bezels on the front offering a 91.7% screen-to-body ratio. The back of the phone has a gradient finish, and it comes in three color options: Aurora Silver, Moon Rock Grey, and Fantasy Purple....

We are talking about the new ads from Oppo and Gionee, that highlight selfies. Which of the two will be crowned as the best selfie ad at the end of this battle? Read on and find out for yourself(ie). Oppo F3 Plus TVC The Oppo F3 Plus ad is like any other conventional ad which highlights the USP of the device. The 30-second ad is nothing fancy. It has Deepika Padukone who endorses the brand and she is the face in this particular advertisement as well....

Right, so call us cheesy for that George Lucas-infused intro, but we cannot but dip into our repository of Star Wars when we look at the Rs 10,000-13,000 (USD 140-200) price segment in the Indian phone market. For, that is very much where the action has been over the past few weeks, with LeEco, Huawei and Xiaomi all releasing devices in this price range. And unlike in the past, where these devices played second fiddle to more high-end offerings, this time around, each of these three has been launched as a potential market conqueror, accompanied by high-profile campaigns online as well as offline....

You would notice that most of Qualcomm’s recent launches are heavily focused on gaming which is apparent by the use of the suffix ‘G’ in the nomenclature. With more and more smartphone users taking up mobile gaming in the form of games like PUBG Mobile (now Battlegrounds Mobile India), COD Mobile, Free Fire, etc., it only makes sense for Qualcomm to manufacture SoCs that cater to people’s needs and it seems as though they have been doing a good job lately....

To recall, 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, has a MicroSD card slot, and a large 4,230mAh battery. The phone was originally launched in 2GB RAM/16GB storage variant back in September 2018. There are two cameras on the rear — a regular 13-megapixel lens and another 2-megapixel sensor for depth-sensing....

1. How is the overall sound quality on the Realme Buds Air? Keeping the price tag in mind, the Realme Buds Air produces good quality sound with emphasis on vocals. The bass levels, as with most earphones with this design aren’t too high. For casual listening, you will be more than satisfied with the sound quality but if you’re an audiophile, there surely are better sounding pairs of earphones out there for the same price, but they may not offer the same set of features or come in a similar form factor....

While the first-ever TV from Xiaomi was a premium 4K Mi TV 4 (55″) which was one of the thinnest televisions available anywhere in the world at just 4.9mm, Xiaomi soon got back to what they were known for in the smartphone world – affordable, value for money offerings. Along with super-competitive hardware, the Mi TV could differentiate from other budget Smart TV brands through Patchwall – a well-thought-through interface helping people discover content while not complicating it for cable/DTH viewers....

After announcing that it will bring the OnePlus One to Flipkart soon, the device will soon make its way on Overcart.com, as well. Overcart is India’s first marketplace for unboxed, refurbished, pre-owned, and excess stock products being founded in April, 2012. Starting at price of Rs. 12,999, the 16GB of the OnePlus One 16 will go for sale next week. Saptarshi Nath, Cofounder at Overcart.com, said the following: OverCart says that as per its internal research, the return rates of leading e-commerce companies in India can rise as high as 25% in certain categories, with electronics being close to 12–15%....

The Chinese startup rose to fame with their Windows 10 look alike adaptation of Android for laptops and tablets that enables power users to use their hardware fruitfully without compromising on the vast array of apps available on the Playstore. This however isn’t the first time Jide is introducing a hardware of their own. In fact, they had initially launched a Remix Ultra 2-in-1 tablet last year and the all new Remix Pro is a successor of the same....

Leather love! Like Samsung, LG too has made a material change when it comes to design – literally. Mind you, the change is not as dramatic as the from-plastic-to-metal-and-glass-and-go-over-the-edge journey that its famous rival has made. In fact, the change is not apparent at first glance – from the front, the G4 looks like pretty much a routine large display Android, although with the base and top curving out gently rather than being straight-lined as in some devices....

The VPN technology has evolved a lot in the past few months and the VPN services in general have become more reliable and affordable than ever before. Previously, the VPN tools were always looked upon as slow and unfit for video browsing. But now, VPN services like SailFish VPN are fast yet affordable and offer high reliability in addition to the general nuances like privacy, freedom from censorship and anonymous browsing....

All three S20 models, the S20 5G, S20 Plus 5G, and the S20 Ultra 5G share a lot of similarities, such as the 120Hz refresh rate display, the 7nm chipset, and the Android 10 OS with Samsung’s OneUI 2.0 running on top. That said, let’s dive in and look at the specifications for each of these devices in detail. Samsung Galaxy S20 5G To start off, the Samsung S20 5G is the standard S20 variant, which features a 6....

To recall, the Galaxy Z Flip is the second foldable smartphone from the brand but is not necessarily a successor to the Galaxy Fold which follows a different design language. Unlike its big brother, the Galaxy Fold, the Galaxy Z Flip is a clamshell-type device that opens up vertically and folds into a smaller form factor that’s easily pocketable. On the inside of the Galaxy Z Flip is the Snapdragon 855+ chipset and thankfully, Samsung has retained the same internals even for the variant going to be sold in India, unlike the S20 series which gets the Exynos 990 SoC instead of the Snapdragon 865 on the US variants....

So, currently Infinit.io is limited only to Mac users, and it works like Airdrop for OS X only that it is not based on the local Wi-Fi. To send somebody a file that could have a size as big as you need, that person will also need to have an account at Infinity.io. You will then use the search function to send to that person files of virtually any size....

AirPods inspired? As much as companies would like you to believe that true wireless earbuds do not fall out of ears, let us tell you one thing: they do. The only difference is that some fall out more often than others. The Skullcandy Indy fall in the “others” category in this case. For the Indy, Skullcandy has basically clubbed the design of the button-like buds (like Skullcandy Push and Bose SoundSport) and combined them with the stem-like design of the AirPods....

Till now, smartphone cameras were able to capture images in portrait mode, but the processing prowess of the chipsets wasn’t simply enough to capture and process videos with depth sensing. During one of the sessions with Indian journalists last month, Google’s Marc Levoy, who heads the Computational photography team for Pixel phones, had explained why it’s not possible to do live depth sensing for an elongated duration which is required to have portrait mode effect on videos....
