Reliance Jio is yet to have a commercial launch, but the preview offer has enticed people to do their best to get a Jio SIM. JioFi is a portable 4G MiFi router which costs Rs 2,899 and creates a 4G Wifi hotspot through which you can connect up to as many as 31 devices. The device takes up to 3 hours to be charged completely and can then run up to 6 hours....

Today, a person tempted by the thought of not having to deal with tangled wires, and having free, unshackled buds and devices, has a number of options to choose from. What however should not be forgotten is that while truly wireless earbuds are growing popular, they are still far from perfect and come with their own challenges, especially when compared with other existing earphone options. So, if you are looking to invest in a pair of true wireless earbuds, do go ahead, but just remember to keep six factors in mind:...

(Red)Mi looks slightly more premium Both Nokia 4.2 and the Redmi Note 7 are based on the same basic design blueprint. The two smartphones come with tall displays with a drop notch, trimmed down bezels and shiny glass backs. When two devices look largely the same, it all boils down to the finer details. The Nokia 4.2 comes with a smaller display as compared to the Redmi Note 7, which makes the Nokia 4....

Similarly, another option is to use dedicated object remover tools to remove unwanted objects from images. However, since most of these tools aren’t very effective at their job and often leave pixelated stains behind, they aren’t an ideal solution either. A good alternative to both these approaches is a web-based object eraser tool called Cleanup.pictures. Here’s a guide describing what Cleanup pictures is and how you can use it to remove unwanted objects from your pictures....

So to begin with, if you would think that this app is for transferring contacts from one device to another you are mistaken, Microsoft has created something pretty unique and yet simple. The Connections app will let you record the important happenings between your contacts, say for instance you just had a meeting with your boss and want to jot down a few stuff. Now the app takes it a step further and will also let you keep a reminder on what info you have and about whom do you want to follow up and also when to follow up....

Scenario: My wife needs to use the washing machine twice to get all clothes done. It starts at 8 AM where first the clothes are kept for rinsing for around an hour and then followed by washing. This is then repeated at 10 AM again. Everything completes at noon. Then I suggested her to use the Smart Plug to schedule the first slot in a way that first washing job is complete by 8 AM, and she can start with the second job by 8:30, and finish everything by 10:30 tops....

And, praise be, it has done so with simplicity and charm. At a time when a number of developers seem to be upping the graphics stakes and trying to deliver “console-like” experiences on one’s smartphones and tablets (witness the last Deus Ex title), Flyro takes a more basic path. No, your eyes will not pop out at its amazing graphics, because, well, it does not have any. In fact, if anything, it will remind you a bit of those space shooting games of the mid nineties when you controlled a spacecraft and took out aliens that kept descending on you....

You see, in contrast with the olden days, when Facebook was more like an online platform to connect with people, it has slowly evolved into what is today known as a social media website, which possesses the power to alter society’s viewpoint across various subject matters. And the ill effect, you ask? Well, an integral part of what Facebook is capable of achieving today is data. As a result of this, any entity that controls vast amounts of data about its users or customers can transform the rational climate of a nation and influence the lives of the masses....

Along with the offline saving feature, YouTube Go offers a detailed view of the content you’re downloading or about to download including the size, memory available in the preferred location (SD Card/Internal) and obviously, the time it will take for completing. Additionally, there’s an intuitive share function through which you can send saved videos to nearby devices over a Bluetooth connection. YouTube Go is built upon the previously launched Smart Offline feature for YouTube but adds better performance and accessibility....

The swipe down to search feature is an extremely helpful thing, especially if you want to scourge your phone or the internet in a jiffy. Unlike the Nova launcher the Evie is very simple so much so that one would start disliking the barebones approach in the due course of time. Users can book Uber rides, search for nearby stuff and also access the files on the phone all with a single swipe down....

At present, there is no CTRL+ Z for a message that you send on Facebook Messenger. Once you have sent a text, it is bound to deliver. The help center of Facebook says: depending on the person’s notification settings, they may also receive your message as an email notification.(sic) At present, you can only delete a sent message from your inbox (but not from the recipient’s inbox). This, however, might soon be changing....

So you can imagine our surprise when we clapped eyes for the first time on the Qiku Q Terra. No, we will not call it a small phone, for it isn’t one. But it definitely does not look like a phone with a 6.0-inch display either. For at 157.6 mm in length, it is a tad shorter than the 158.2 mm iPhone 6s Plus and significantly shorter than the 159....

GSMArena reports that Lenovo has teased the launch event of the device on Chinese social media but has revealed any further details about. As you can see for yourself, the image only shows the date and the word ‘VIBE’ on the background. A hint for the ‘Vibe Z3 Pro’ launch could be the date, which contains two times ‘3’, but this is just my personal assumption. At MWC, we’ve seen the Vibe Shot, and it did sport some features which many assumed to have belonged to the Vibe Z3 Pro....

Yes, we cannot accuse the premium range of being exact copy cats of one another, but there are definitely a number of basic design details that most high-end phones today share – the largely glass build, the notch (size and shape can vary), the edge to edge display and the multiple camera arrangement sit on top of this list. Now, while there was scope for forgiveness in the budget segment as looks are really not the first priority in that range (and resources for the design were limited), things are very different in the high end and premium phone zone, where design, numbers, and performance all go hand in hand....

Hacking Team is known for exposing zero-day vulnerabilities, the loopholes in software which are unknown to the vendor. The loopholes are further exploited by the clients to discreetly inject the target with their software. As a matter of fact, the researchers have also found out several zero-days in the deluge of leaked e-mails since last month. The company’s update labeled MS15-078 has fixed a flaw in the rendering of OpenType fonts which is jointly created by Adobe and Microsoft....

Starting out as a… game boy! He may now be the director and founder of a multi-national company, but Carl Pei’s first job for a company was when he was in just sixth grade at a (wait for it) game store. It was for just a week in Sweden because kids in Sweden are allowed to do different jobs from grade sixth to ninth for just a week. He mentions that he shrink-wrapped games, restocked shelves and ate hot dogs for a week there....

Gionee Marathon M5 will be launching in Bangalore next week, i.e November 24 and to start with, it will retail as online exclusive. We expect the phone to be priced around Rs 18,700 (or in fact a little lesser). The M5 is fitted with a 5.5-inch HD display and draws its power from a 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6735 processor coupled with a 3GB RAM. On the storage front, the phone offers 32GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot that can further accommodate 128GB....

Android 4.0 ICS and Battery Management To be honest, Improved Battery Management was the only thing I was looking forward to in Android 4.0. Many users are happy to see new features like ability to take screenshots, new system font, Android beam etc. These are some nice features to have and welcome improvements by Google. But not even once did I hear any Google executive talk about battery performance in Android 4....

When first writing about the Google Fiber service, I was saying that Google needs to fix these issues: price, adoption and equipment. After seeing today’s announcement, I’m now confident they’ve managed to solve all 3 of them or, at least, to have a healthy start. The price and equipment is all set, the adoption depends on how customers react and just how badly they want Google Fiber in their homes....

The New Google Glass will be called “Enterprise Edition” and as expected it does come with an improvised hardware and a redesigned button and hinge system. The folks at 9to5 Google were able to lay their hands on the new Google Glass hardware and they have corroborated that the new Google Glass doesn’t look strikingly different from its predecessor. That being said, the new design seems to offer a greater leeway as it also incorporated the foldable design....
