After a few alleged Redmi clones in its M series this year, Poco has again gotten into original mode and come out with what we think could well be the best phone you could get for under Rs 20,000. Moreover, it even manages to challenge the devices that have defined this segment for a few years now – the Redmi Note series. A Pro with hardly any cons The biggest strength of the Poco X4 Pro is that it does not really have any major weaknesses....
While Oppo surely did well in the offline market in India, the online segment belonged to Xiaomi, Honor, Moto and various other Chinese OEMs who would cut down on seller margins and advertising costs, and price their devices in an extremely competitive manner. In short, the price to performance ratio of these smartphones being sold online, was much higher when compared to Oppo’s offline offerings. Or to put it in simpler words, Oppo’s smartphones were in no way value for money compared to the online competition....

Well, you are very welcome to get to know more about these two phones in our detailed reviews of the Realme 5 Pro and the Realme XT.

It’s not clear if the set-top box is for Jio DTH or Jio IPTV, but the chances for DTH are bleak as there are no reports of Jio leasing transponders. Moreover, IPTV seems like a more logical fit considering Jio is an all-IP network. Jio has gone on to disrupt the telecom market even since it launched early this year. While some analysts are skeptical about Reliance Jio’s freemium policy, there’s no doubt in saying that the upstart telecom brand has revolutionized the market by forcing competitors to step up their game....
The Note proved many of us wrong on that count. What the iPhone did for touchscreen phones, the Note did for large screen ones. However, for some reason, the S Pen did not quite spark the stylus revival that some had expected it would. Phones did keep getting bigger, and even the Note’s bet noir, the iPhone had to come out with Plus and Max editions to keep up with the phablet phenomenon....
The renders further showcased all the four color variants of the upcoming smartphones. For those wondering, the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) and Galaxy J5 (2017) would be coming in Black, Blue, Gold and Rose Gold hues.

Compared to the Galaxy S9+, the display on the Note 9 is just 0.2-inches bigger while the resolution stays the same.

Back in the beginning of this summer, there have been rumors circulating online suggesting that both Samsung and Apple were exploring a dual-camera phone technology. But as Apple unveiled its newest iPhones and Sammy released the Galaxy Note 5 and the S6 Edge+, we didn’t see this feature being present. However, it seems that at least Samsung is still tinkering with this technology behind the curtains. At the time it was believed that Samsung would incorporate the new tech into its 2016 Galaxy S7 flagship smartphone, but now sources say that this will actually happen after the device is released, and Sammy will use it in the handsets that will follow the S7....

As tech bloggers, we love and hate this at the same time. Content discovery is no more a problem, but it has become increasingly difficult to suggest the right phone to the right person, specially when the prices keep fluctuating and new phones from Asia and elsewhere keep popping up to spoil your recommendation list. If this is the plight of someone whose primary work revolves around smartphones, imagine the plight of an unsuspecting consumer who wants to buy the best phone available at a price he is comfortable to pay....
