The report also mentions about provisional specs of the first Tizen smartphone. It comes with a 4.8-inch 720p (HD) display, powered by a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor. No word on other details like RAM, camera and internal storage. From the leaked image, we can see that the externals look very similar to the existing range of Galaxy smartphones, while the UI is reminiscent of Windows Phone’s square tiles UI....

The phrase Homomorphic Encryption might sound heavy, specially if you are hearing it for the first time, but its whole purpose is to simplify your database and information solutions. Let’s try to understand the term better before getting to know all about it. Homomorphic encryption alludes to an encryption where plain texts and cipher texts both are treated with an equivalent algebraic function. Now, the plain text and the cipher texts might also be not related but the emphasis is on the algebraic operation that works on both of them....

Well, the brand has released as many phones in the last thirteen months. Eight phones in thirteen months. If that sounds a little hard to believe, check the following: iPhone 11: September 2019 iPhone 11 Pro: September 2019 iPhone 11 Pro Max: September 2019 iPhone SE: April 2020 iPhone 12: October 2020 iPhone 12 mini: October 2020 iPhone 12 Pro: October 2020 iPhone 12 Pro Max: October 2020 That is the sort of premium device schedule that you would expect from a Samsung, a brand that believes in totally covering the shopping place with its options....

Does NOT look similar, thank God The thing about budget smartphones is that many of them look very similar and design is generally never their strongest suit. But this is not the case with the Honor 7X. The smartphone is a blend of metal and glass and comes with curvy sides and edges. The face of the smartphone is majorly covered by the display, and there are thin bezels above and below it....

Touch Sensitive Edges Cramming in all the controls for a battle royale game like PUBG on a smartphone screen can be a little messy. Asus is making that situation a bit less cumbersome by letting you move two of them to the phone’s sides. It does so with the help of a pressure-sensitive edge, the extreme ends of which can be individually mapped to various actions inside and outside of games....

If you’re not familiar with Windows 8, you may have tried to download it and use the product key from your previous OS or use the one from this OS with 8.1. The bad news is that it won’t work, because each operating system from Windows will have a different product key. The good news, however, is that you can still get Windows 8 for free without doing anything illegal....

While it’s fine to take a screenshot this way, you can only take the screenshot of a single page or screen using this method. For instance, if you wish to capture the contents of a PDF, this method would require you to take individual screenshots of each page and stitch them together using editing apps like Tailor and Picsew. However, with the release of iOS 15, Apple has made it easier than ever to capture full-page screenshots....

The absence of the GMS core on Huawei/Honor smartphones meant that they had to come up with their own solution in order to continue selling their smartphones. Apps are what add functionality to a smartphone and not having the Google Play Store onboard means Huawei now has to rely on its own solution – the Huawei AppGallery. While this is not a problem in China since Google Services are inherently banned in that region and consumers rely on third-party app stores like AppGallery by Huawei or GetApps by Xiaomi, it certainly poses a problem when you talk about other global markets where users are tied to Google’s services....

The Ascend series has typically carried the flagship mantle from Huawei. But surprisingly, Huawei chose the Honor series to have the honor of being the first smartphone with the new HiSilicon Kirin 920 SoC which is an octa-core processor made of four Cortex-A15 cores and four Cortex-A7 cores. That’s kind of a big deal for us geeks, but what about the end users? Does Honor 6 has enough stuff to warrant a look into your pockets?...

They say that for geeks, their devices are heroes. Well, we decided to go a step further and make them superheroes. And proper superheroes at that – the cape-costume ones. We delved into the annals of comic history and for each flagship device, pulled out a superhero to match. Take a gander at our results: Apple iPhone 5 – Batman All understated (but distinct) style, and quiet effectiveness. Others may have more muscle and more powers, but he has the brains (apps), the gadgets (accessories) and well, the mind space....

So if you are in the market for a phone with a pop-up selfie camera, go right ahead and check these options: Vivo Nex – the one that started it all Rs 32,000 (approx) The phone that started the whole pop up camera trend, the Vivo Nex is beautifully crafted and also comes with some very high-end hardware – a 6.59 inch Super AMOLED display with full HD+ resolution, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 8 GB RAM and storage variants of 128 GB and 256 GB....

HCL Technologies Ltd is a well known Indian computer services firm and will help manufacture 100,000 low-cost computers under a government project which is aimed to boost the role of technology in education. Last month, when the IT minister, Kapil Sibal ran a hands-on demo, things were clear that the tablet is for real and will definitely see its light sooner than later. Now that HCL has got the contract, it proves that the government is serious enough to get it on the shelves by January 10th 2011....

With the iPhone 6, Apple started the tradition of having a standard sized iPhone and a larger variant. The larger variant was also better endowed in many regards, boasting a larger battery, a bigger display (obviously) and better cameras. With the iPhone XS, the company put a slight spin on this “Big Brother” concept. Yes, there were two iPhones (three actually, but the XR was mentioned separately so we will exclude it here), one of a “standard” size and one that was larger....

First with a Snapdragon 768 The highlight of the iQOO Z3 5G is its processor. This is the first phone in the country to sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 768. As its name indicates, this is an update over the much-acclaimed Snapdragon 765, and well, while the difference in performance from a Nord (the original) will not jump at you, the iQOO Z3 5G seems very snappy. Moreover, it has plenty of RAM and storage to spare – the variants are 6 GB/ 128 GB, 8 GB /128 GB, and 8 GB / 256 GB, with RAM being LPDDR4X and storage being UFS 2....

Well, it is back, darlings. And with a tie-up with Flipkart at that, and also talking of taking on all comers – of course it can, given its track record. There have been brave talks of taking on the likes of Xiaomi, and right now, they do not get bigger than that in the Indian phone market. There is, however, evidently a dark cloud to this silver lining. As per some of my sources, darlings, the current financial year represents the final throw of the mobile phone dice for Asus....

According to the company, an affordable Internet has become a fundamental need for a human in today’s day and age, which is why it has taken initiatives to offer data (along with voice) for a much affordable price. Not to mention, the JioPhone, which is the cheapest 4G-enabled smartphone, announced to make the internet available for every individual in the country. At its launch, the company sold the phone for Rs 1,500....

The market for miniature content streaming dongle has been maturing with an increasing number of options. In addition to Google’s Chromecast, users now also have the option to buy alternatives like Teewee 2. Lenovo’s Cast is a tad bit costlier than others, as Chromecast is priced at $35 while the Teewe 2 is priced around $37. Much like Chromecast, the Lenovo Cast is very easy to use. Users are required to either plug in the device to an HDMI port available on their TV or any other big screen or place it anywhere near them, configure (link) the device with their computer or phone, and start beaming content from a DLNA-supported or Miracast-enabled tablet or smartphone....

A majority of LG’s revenue came from its home appliances and TV business. The South Korean firm reported a record 61.4 trillion won ($55.4 billion) revenue from its electronics business throughout the entire span of last year. Out of this, a whopping 16.96 trillion won ($15.3 billion) came from the last quarter of the past year, thereby recording a 14.8% increase over Q4 2016. Overall, LG Electronics revenue went up by 10....

But if there is one thing these efforts have proven is that people have become incredibly comfortable with their laptop over these years, and they are not easily willing to adopt another era of products just yet. So, if companies do want to replace it, they’ll have to find something which is already a part of customers’ lifestyle. The most obvious answer to this conundrum is the slab of a screen that sits in your pocket every day – the smartphone....
