Nokia is hoping to get back in the leading cellphone maker race by targeting what it always managed to be good at – low priced phones. Nokia hopes to outrun Samsung but truth be told – this will be really tough, provided that Android’s far more popular than Windows Phone is. But the price is appealing for the Lumia line and the quality is satisfying, so the single question is – will consumers be lured in?...
The truth, however, would seem to be that the decision not to release the Pixel in India could be a purely commercial one. #TeamPixel trended in India, but not in the market Initially, there is no doubt that India featured very high on Google’s Pixel release list. The Pixel, the Pixel 2, and the Pixel 3 series were all released early in India. And the releases were very high profile, with a high degree of influencer marketing and a very prominent advertising campaign as well....
The same single judge has now been asked to hear the case afresh as the bench felt that it was not a case for grant of an ad-interim injunction. The crux of the decision lies in the fact that neither OnePlus nor Micromax eats into the territory of the other. The bench observed it was not proper of the single judge to finally decide the application without giving the parties time to file their pleadings....
We are getting a similar vibe from the first smartwatch from the brand, the OnePlus Watch. On paper, it comes packed with potential, but it has a few issues to address. Looks smart, but not very different We had covered the design and specs of the OnePlus Watch in our first cut, and here’s a quick recap: while OnePlus does claim to have put in a lot of effort into the design of the watch, the OnePlus Watch follows a rather familiar format – a 1....
OpenVid is completely free and unlike some of the other tools, it comes devoid of time limit or any other cap over the features. The caveat though means that one needs to refer to users to OpenVid in order to get unlimited features free. The new update has further bettered the offering by integrating front camera recordings in a Picture-in-Picture format. The entire desktop can be recorded and once done the videos will be uploaded....
Well, the brand has started off 2021 with another Enco product. This time, it is aiming higher than the value for money budget segment. With their price tag of Rs 9,990, the just-launched Enco X train their audio guns very squarely at a more premium segment – one populated by the likes of Samsung, Apple, Jabra, and Sony. Looking routinely smart… And to be fair, the Enco X do bring a fair bit to the battle....
Poco C3: Design and Display In terms of design, the Poco C3 appears similar to the Redmi 9C in that it has the same plastic back with a square-shaped camera module on the rear to house the triple camera setup. However, it does get the Poco’s signature two-tone pattern, which reduces fingerprint smudges and also claims to offer a better in-hand grip and feel. And there is also P2i coating....
The announcement comes from the Xiaomi Vice President and Xiaomi India Managing Director, Manu Kumar Jain, who tweeted saying, “What started as a sub-brand in POCO has grown into its own identity in a short span of time. POCO F1 is an extremely popular phone across user groups and remains a top contender in its category even in 2020. We feel the time is right to let POCO operate on its own now, which is why we’re excited to announce that POCO will spin-off as an independent brand....
While the Android market is filled with great power monitors such as Battery Status Plus and there are a couple of good practices that can also help, from the plains of the XDA forum comes Quad Core Manager, a rather simple software which allows users to disable processing cores, one by one. Aimed solely at rooted phones with quad-core processors, this application can spare some vital battery juice in case you desperately need it....
The intention is to deliver and ease the process of adding dual-cameras on products through a universal technology. Clear Sight is developed based on the way humans’ visualize surroundings – using cones and rods. While the former is detecting colors and details, latter is absorbing light particles. The approach is fundamentally identical to what Huawei has done with the P9, you can read more about it here. Clear Sight will, as a result, utilize two separate camera sensors with same focal length and aperture for mimicking the purpose of cones and rods....
Quoth is a new age social media tool that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to figure out what the picture is about and suggest a quote related to it, in a way creating a perfect combo that would give you the likes you have always been longing for. According to the maker of the app, Quoth uses computer vision APIs from Apple and Clarifai to analyze the image and determine things like attributes, color, facial information, etc to create a perfect combination of the picture and quote....
The Realme 5 follows in that tradition. Some feel that the device was targeted squarely at the Mi A3 which Xiaomi has launched today. And with good reason. The two devices were launched within a day of each other. And there is no getting away from some of the similarities – the slightly edgy design, the 720p display, the multiple cameras, the big battery and of course, that processor. But comparing those two phones is another story – and one which we are doing!...
You get the idea. The Redmi Note series has seen itself expand into a family of sorts over the past three years or so, with a Pro and a Pro Max being added to the line (we expect a simple Max to join the club at some stage). But the “plain” Note continues to play a key role in its success, being the most affordable of the series that sticks to its core philosophy of maybe missing out on flashy features but doing the basics very well indeed....
Design and Display To start with, the Galaxy A52 (4G and 5G) and the Galaxy A72 both feature a similar design language — a plastic back encased in a plastic frame. All three models come with IP67 water and dust resistance and have a rectangular camera module on the rear. Moving to the front, the Galaxy A52 has a 6.5-inch display, while the Galaxy A72 sports a bigger 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display....
The Korean smartphone giant has added yet another star to their ever-growing Galaxy lineup and this time, it’s for the “On” budget series. The new Galaxy On8 will be exclusively available on Flipkart in India and features impressive specifications such as 3GB of RAM, Super AMOLED Full HD display, all for an affordable price tag. To begin with, the Galaxy On8 flaunts a brushed metal body and measures merely 7....
A College Project Snapchat was initially started as a project for one of Evan Spiegel’s classes in Stanford where he was a product design major. It was originally called “Picaboo” as the core ethos of the selfie-oriented app was to allow users to post ephemeral images. The Reggie Brown Lawsuit Reggie Brown is one of the foundational members of Snapchat, however, for some reason, he was deposed from the company by Spiegel and Murphy....
Twitter is not just about functions and features A big error being committed by the authors of many of these pieces is to evaluate Twitter purely in terms of features. So any app or network that allows you to share or respond to messages with a community is being touted as a ‘Twitter alternative.’ Many even highlight extra features that other apps have – the ability to write longer messages, share longer videos, see fewer ads, and so on....
Just like any regular SDHC card, this smart product can store high amounts of media, while having the big advantage of performing transfers without any wires attached. Moreover, some products even come with advanced options, such as a dedicated application for mobile operating systems (Android, iOS, etc.) which allow the user to view files and share them, right from the camera. How can Wi-Fi enabled SD cards transform your camera?...
The X50 modem focussed mostly on the smartphones and claimed to offer maximum download speed of 5 gigabits, which is less than the newest offering from the company, which promises to provide as much as 7 gigabits of download speed. In addition to the speed, it also claims to enhance the connectivity among devices and also allow for devices of different categories to be connected together. That surely hints to the fact that we can see the new modem chipset not only on the upcoming 5G-enabled smartphones but also on the Internet of Things (IoT) devices that primarily require various devices to be connected together via the internet....
Both these Sony devices run Google’s Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and not the latest KitKat. Also, both devices have been released as single SIM and dual-SIM models. The dual-SIM versions are probably targeted for emerging markets; but at the moment we don’t know their pricing and availability. You will also get 50GB of free Box storage with any of these two devices. Director of Xperia Marketing at Sony Mobile Communications, Calum MacDougall said:...
