Project Scarlett The all-new console will include a custom-designed CPU based on AMD’s Zen 2 and Radeon RDNA architecture and a fast GDDR6 RAM that promise the console to be four times more powerful than the Xbox One X. It will also have an SSD (used as a virtual RAM), which Microsoft claims to be their new generation SSD, to deliver faster game loading speeds with 40x performance boost over the current generation....
Verge had recently published pictures of the Keyboard in flesh and this gives us a good idea of how the keyboard would actually look and if the layout can manage to score on the utilitarian front. Swipe keyboard has always been a problem in large screened phones even though I’m blessed with a relatively big sized palm, it still is difficult to clutch the phone tightly and swipe the message....
It’s been four months since Microsoft announced the Surface tablets. There was a lot of drama surrounding the announcement back then. Microsoft had not let anyone play with the tablet and of course, they had kept the pricing under wraps as well. Now that we are just a few days away from the official Windows 8 launch, we are seeing a flurry of activities and announcements from Microsoft. Currently, all the three variants are shown as “out of stock”....
After years of flagship slaying, it was as if OnePlus decided it was time it launched a series which was a flagship itself, and therefore, the OnePlus 8 series was launched. Settling on a premium strategy! With a price of Rs. 41,999 for the base variant of the OnePlus 8 and starting price of Rs. 54,999, (and even higher price tags of $699 and $899 respectively in the US), the new OnePlus 8 range was more away from its flagship killing past than ever before....
To overcome this, WhatsApp has today announced the roll-out of a new option that would allow users to prevent other people from adding them into groups. With the new update, starting to roll-out today for some, users will get three options: ‘Everyone’ – allows anyone to add you to groups, ‘My contacts’ – only the contacts present on your device can add you to groups, and ‘Nobody’ – as soon as someone adds you to groups, you will have the option to approve or decline the request, under the ‘Groups’ settings....
Noke is a Bluetooth enabled padlock that lets you control it through apps available for Android and iOS. Once you have downloaded the app, it automatically finds and pairs to your smartphone. By default, the lock is at idle, protecting your possessions. However, as soon as you press the skank, it wakes up and hooks up with the paired device. To make things even more convenient, Noke automatically unlocks itself if the paired device is at within 10 feet distance....

The latest Nokia 9 leak is a concept render video which is further based on the previous leaks by Onleaks. Needless to say, the video gives us a better glimpse at how the device might look as opposed to the pictures. That being said concept videos/renders are based on rumors and leak thus it is not fair to treat the same as a picture of the real phone. The video shows off the purported Nokia 9 in full-glory....
And today marks the entry of its first product in the market, called the Nothing ear (1). Coming in as a pair of wireless earbuds, the ear (1) are a collaborative effort between Nothing and the Swedish consumer electronics brand Teenage Engineering, with an aggressive price tag. Let’s dive in to take a closer look at what Nothing has to offer with these earphones. Design Starting with the design, the Nothing Ear (1) feature a traditional earbud-like design—in-ear style with a stem....
Almost two and a half years ago, I wrote those lines after Xiaomi had launched the Redmi 1S in India, stressing that for all its “amazing specs at amazingly affordable prices” products, the Chinese brand’s secret weapon was the mystique surrounding its Global Vice President, former Google (and Nexus) man Hugo Barra. Those words might be haunting the Chinese company, following Barra’s decision to step down from his post a few hours ago....
So I dallied and played my share of golf games on iOS and Android from the relatively simple Stickman Golf series to the more complex Tiger Woods titles. There have been games that have been minimalistic in the extreme to those whose attention to detail would have got Steve Jobs dancing in delight. Ok Golf, however, is something else altogether. The game has been making waves for the past few days – in spite of coming with a price tag (USD 2....
Sticking to those Nord basics That is evident from the moment you see the Nord 2. We got the Blue Haze variant, and it is a testament to how well the first Nord was marketed that we got Nord-ish feels off it right away. Yes, there are subtle design changes (the cameras on the back are arranged slightly differently, and the lenses on the back are larger). Still, there is no way you can mistake this phone for anything but a Nord, even without that OnePlus logo on the back....
The Oppo R11 comes equipped with a 5.5-inch FHD AMOLED display with a color gamut of up to 98.50%. In the meanwhile, the Oppo R11 Plus settles for a bigger 6-inch FHD display.

Oppo R11 and the R11 Plus both come equipped with a similar camera module i.e 16-Megapixel primary sensor with a wide angle lens and an additional 20-Megapixel sensor....
Not many of the options available on the market have fulfilled my needs and after approximately one year of searching, I finally found it. But shoulder-worn bags lack the room of accommodating chargers and they’re heavy weight, and I couldn’t simply commute with a laptop that runs out of battery in two hours and needs 800 grams of equipment to charge. Now, thanks to Phorce, people like me have an option....
The plot twist comes in the form of a deal that Crystal‘s developer, Dean Murphy inked with Adblock Pro creator Eyeo. This is nothing new for AdBlock Pro, the top ad blocking software on desktops as it has previously dealt with whitelisting certain ads from ad networks, they approached Murphy and advised him to do the same, of course for a certain sum of money. The company likes to shroud the issue with a clean blanket and call them as ‘acceptable ads’ policy according to which “minimally intrusive” ads will be served to the users, but the question still remains the same – is ad-blocker more of a revenue-generating machine or it does have a utilitarian background to it....

As rightly pointed out by ArsTechnica, most of the recent increase in LTE speed have been offered by combining chunks of spectrum across multiple antennas to magnify the bandwidth. It is common for the LTE modems to blend in different technology to offer the speeds, phones usually use chunks of 20MHz spectrum along with a higher rated QAM (Quadrature amplitude modulation) which is in turn expected to increase the data transmitted over the same link....
Just in case you are unaware, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 and 652 have been among the most popular chips for the leading chipmaker in 2016. With major upgrades over its predecessor, they succeeded in replacing the reigning Mediatek 6752 to become the prime choice in almost all mid-range smartphones. Starting from the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 to the Sony Xperia X Performance, Snapdragon 650 can be seen inside many smartphones....
For some context, we used the Realme Band alongside the Mi Smart Band 4 throughout the review period in order to have a reference or benchmark. Design and Comfort The Realme Band looks like any other fitness tracker out there. A rectangular module with a display attached to straps on either side. You don’t really expect a fitness tracker, especially at this price point to score big on uniqueness so it’s certainly not a major con....
We have been testing the Realme Buds Wireless Pro for almost a week now, and here’s what we feel about them. Realme Buds Wireless Pro: Box Content The Realme Buds Wireless Pro come in a large rectangular box. When opened, the first thing you get access to are the earphones themselves, housed within a plastic encasing.
