The Meizu Pro 7 and Pro 7 Plus are two of the company’s flagship devices that were launched in China earlier this year. Among the two, Meizu is expected to launch the smaller and cheaper Pro 7 in India. Once launch, the Meizu Pro 7 will apparently be the company’s first flagship to hit Indian shores in over a year. With that said, Meizu hasn’t revealed the launch date of the smartphone yet....
Microsoft’s Office apps have been available for Android phones in preview form, but now Microsoft is launching the final versions on the Google Play Store. Go ahead and download Word, Excel and PowerPoint on your Android phone to enjoy all the features that they bring. During the preview, Microsoft says they were able to test the apps on over 1,900 different Android phone models in 83 countries, which probably helped release the final versions so soon....
A breath of fresh air, an apple among oranges…Hello, Moto At the time when most smartphones look like identical twins of one another, the Moto G5 Plus comes as a breath of fresh air. We complained about the absence of a differentiating enough design in many budget segment smartphones, but the Moto G5 Plus has sailed beyond the set typical pattern. And not just in terms of the competition, the G5 Plus has also broken some stereotypes when it comes to its own series as well....
Nest Mini The Nest Mini, apart from being a home assistant, is a speaker at its core and that’s exactly what Google has worked on and improved in this iteration. Google claims that original Google Home users have listened to billions of hours of music on the smart speaker and that is the primary use case in several houses. Hence, the emphasis on improving sound quality. The Nest Mini can output bass that’s twice as strong when compared to the last-gen Home Mini....
The proposed law was the result of European Commission’s efforts to create a unified market for the streaming services. Portability of digital content has always been debatable and with the passage of this law it is quite possible that it might add a degree of clarity. According to Reuters, subscribers who have paid for the services like the Sky TV Now, 1MaxDome TV and ProSiebenSat will still be able to view the same temporarily when they are roaming in European Union....
To be Informed Means to be Powerful How are we, the public, going to make informed decision of any kind if we do not have access to hard data and reliable information? The Christian Science Monitor went a little further and published a story called “Are you smarter than a Fox News views? How about a CNN viewer?” The site attached a quiz which includes questions like this: Is it your impression that most economists who have studied it estimate that the stimulus legislation: Basically, what the survey found is that news viewers don’t really get the story straight and confuse critical details regarding economy let’s say, or related health issues....

The XR is a very different kettle of fish from the 5C. Yes, we know that there are obvious similarities between the two devices (hey, we just outlined them), but there are differences too. And those are telling ones. And perhaps the most important of them all is that while the iPhone 5C basically was a refreshed iPhone 5 and played second fiddle to the 5S (the flagship in 2013) in hardware departments, the iPhone XR is actually not that far behind....
The Nokia 5310 follows this template. One glance at it is enough to fill the room with nostalgic murmurs about how good the original 5310 Xpress Music was (the sins of Symbian are forgiven). The new avatar of the 5310 frankly looks a little different from its predecessor, which was released way back in 2007, a few months after a certain iPhone was released in the market. Yes, it has the same red accents, but they do not flank the display but instead are on the sides of the phone....
To give you some background, Arm licenses its IP to companies such as Apple, Samsung, and Qualcomm, which further customize its architecture as per requirements. As of now, Arm chipsets can be seen powering smartphones, tablets, a few notebooks, and data centers. To add to that, at the WWDC, earlier this year, Apple announced that it will employ Arm chipsets, as opposed to its own, with the upcoming Mac lineup....
The stint which probably won’t cause any harm to Snapdeal Remember when Evan Spiegel publicly said something and half of India began bad-mouthing Snapdeal instead of Snapchat? Yeah. Well, you would be surprised to know that one of the few early stints of Spiegel was at a company called “Intuit”. Specifically, he was part of the Txtweb team which aimed to make information available to regions like India where Internet connectivity is still not widely available through SMS....
Cutting back on a case and sound Of course, with that lower price come some compromises. And the most obvious of these is in the sound department. While the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z does deliver sound at a decent volume, it is definitely a big step down from the Bullets Wireless 2. Yes, there is an attempt to deliver a slightly more bass-friendly sound (something which is assumed to be popular), but this sometimes tends to drown out other instruments and vocals....
Earlier: You would have to be living under a rock to not know that OnePlus is about to launch a brand new mid-segment smartphone, the Nord. It was in December that we first heard of a smartphone that would put OnePlus back on the mid-range map and ever since then, it has been raining leaks, rumors, and official statements, revealing the upcoming smartphone’s identity inch by inch. It is supposed to be the second non-flagship level smartphone from OnePlus after the OnePlus X but it sure comes with flagship smartphone level hype....
So, the next time you open Gmail on Chrome, you will be greeted with a prompt like the one you see below Once you give it a go, Google Chrome will open all the mailto: links within Gmail! Thanks to some HTML5 code running in the background. There have been several browser extensions and plugins which were doing something similar before, but with the latest update, none of those add-ons are necessary....
When it comes to choosing a data migration service, you may find a bunch of different services out there, each taking a somewhat different approach to facilitate data transfer and offer its own set of utilities. But, despite that, not every single one of them manages to live up to its claims. And more often than not, you end up repenting downloading such services in the first place. However, that said, the one we are taking a look at today manages to tick most of the checkboxes (for utilities) that you need in a data migration tool....
So which of the two should you be going for? Design: Totally one-sided, and there’s no plus on that one! (Disclaimer: This is as one-sided as it gets. Yes, the Nord 2 is a good-looking phone, but it does not really stand a chance in the design battle against the Poco F3 GT. Sorry, not sorry.) The two phones are polar opposites when it comes to design, with one following a more traditional design blueprint while the other is anything but traditional....
That is a quote attributed by Steve Jobs to Pablo Picasso. And going by that definition, there are a lot of good artists around in the world of tech. But then, not everyone subscribes to that definition, which leads to accusations of copycat time and again, with the accusers sometimes becoming the accused. Copying, intentional or accidental, has been around for a while, but then it surfaces from time to time, creates a stir, and then disappears....
