Next week, on May 14, Nokia is also holding a pretty important event in London where the company is also expected to make some announcements. Stephen Elop did mention that the Asha 501 was only the beginning of its series, but the Lumia 928 is definitely the flagship; so what is there left for the event – the “middle class” phones? Until then, let’s see what exactly is so great about the Lumia 928....
Nokia 2.1 Features Let’s take a look at the Nokia 2.1 first, which is the least expensive of the lot. The Nokia 1 was Nokia’s first Android Go edition smartphone and they’ve followed it up with the Nokia 2.1. While the Nokia 2 was a very mediocre offering at most, the 2.1 doesn’t seem all that bad. It sports a 5.5-inch 720p display with a 16:9 aspect ratio which is understandable given the price the device sells for is pretty nominal....
This means people will be able to store videos in the YouTube app on Android phones and tablets when they are on WiFi and watch them later. Currently, the mobile data plans are quite expensive in India, and usually don’t offer great video streaming experience. Hence, the move to allow offline watching if YouTube will help millions of Android consumers in India. According to Google, around 40 per cent of traffic on YouTube now comes from mobile phones and tablets in India....

Predictable but solid design Looks and design is one area where we do not really see any dramatic changes unless the devices belong to the premium segment. In the more humble mid-segment, we generally see just a few changes that help us differentiate one device from the other. Well, the Z17 Mini’s case is no different. While Nubia has its own stamps which say “Nubia,” the device does not “really” stand out in terms of design....
OnePlus’ co-founder Carl Pei was telling me about the launch of the next OnePlus device. The company had decided to do away with the conventional launch approach and make the device’s launch totally online. Not many thought that it would succeed. But it totally was in line with the company’s motto of Never Settle. “It is not really regular, is it?” I remarked. Carl laughed in his typically boyish manner and said, “Hey, we are OnePlus....
As already mentioned, OnePlus has always been at the edge to deliver some of the most stylish looking smartphones inspired by some of the best-looking racing cars. Following this trend, and taking a leap even further, it has not come up with its concept phone that takes design inspiration from McLaren’s 720S Spider sports car, which is popular for its retractable hardtop that features an electrochromic glass panel to quickly switch between tinted and transparent states....
Until now, people could just point their camera at the problem which is in printed program and the app’s Optical Character Recognition would spring into action and solve the equations. It is worth noting that image processing algorithm is the cornerstone of this app along with the associated problem-solving algorithms. Photomath has announced an updated Version 3.0 for their app on the iOS app store and this update brings a slew of new features including a much easier way to solve the Math problems....
Upsetting the conventional applecart OnePlus, in particular, was able to get into the high-end segment market and disrupt what the territory of the big sharks like Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC and even Apple was. All this without a big marketing budget (as the company itself admitted in the past) and zero mainstream advertising. OnePlus (when started) was a relatively small company and it was easier for it company to experiment with this way of marketing – it thrived on word of mouth and different digital marketing initiatives, rather than traditional print, electronic and Web marketing....

Raspberry Pi, the credit card sized low cost mini-computer will be soon getting a proper Android port, according to a post on their official blog. Raspberry Pi has been making a lot of buzz for being very inexpensive (just $35) low-power computer designed to run Linux and other open source operating systems. Ever since Raspberry Pi was released, others like APC & Gooseberry have tried to come up with Android based mini computers....
Did you really bought Mark Zuckerberg’s claims that privacy is respected when you joined Facebook? When, then you will have a hard time. According to EFF Staff Attorney Jennifer Lynch, the majority of American inhabitants are already in a face recognition database, one that may extend to include every single person on this planet. Although the plan can be considered at least ambitious, it seems that its makers have various sources of obtaining data and in the process, they may violate our privacy....
Design By far, the RealMe 1’s biggest highlight is its shiny exterior which might seem like glass but is made out of plastic and a polymer composite material. The Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Zenfone Max Pro (M1), on the contrary, feature a rather traditional aluminum shell. Clearly, the RealMe 1 is the one which will stand out in a crowd especially if you opt for the Diamond Black variant....
Although not something entirely new, the electric (not ‘smart’) toothbrush is one such appliance that received mixed reactions worldwide in the initial days, but over time is slowly getting the attention of new consumers each passing day. For the uninitiated, an electric toothbrush is an appliance that simplifies your brushing process by offering a more convenient approach and also ensures better cleaning. The one we are looking at today is the Realme M1 Sonic electric toothbrush....
While there are a range of different options, under different price brackets, available, the one we are looking at today comes from the smartphone brand — Realme — which recently announced a bunch of IoT products. Generically named Realme Smart Plug, the maiden attempt from Realme aims to give users a better way to interact and control their home appliances. We have been testing the Realme Smart Plug for some time now, and here is our review of the same....
Rediff RealTime News is currently in beta and is in invite-only mode. I was given a special invite to preview the service and there are lot of good stuff to talk about it. And yeah, I have some invites to give away, more about it later. First, let us take a look at the RealTime news page. Instant News Search Rediff RealTime News is much like Google News when considering the concept, but provides a much better experience....
Well, that might be changing. Redmi recently released a new ad to promote its latest Note flagship, the Note 9 Pro Max, and honestly, there is nothing ‘Note’, nothing ‘Pro’, and nothing ‘Max’ about it. Unreal Pro to the power of Max The minute-long ad is staged in a moving metro train. The train stops suddenly, which makes the phone (obviously a Redmi Note 9 Po Max) slip out of the hands of our protagonist....
Standard design and hardware In terms of design and features, the Redmi Watch tends to tick most boxes. You can read our impressions in detail in our first cut, but for those who have missed that, well, the Redmi Watch is mainly made of plastic but is very smart looking. It has a square-ish 1.4 inch LCD display (with rather large bezels around it, but we do not really think that is too much of a factor in watches), with a single button on the side....
As the name suggests, Oppo R7 Plus is the bigger size variant of the R7. The 6-inch screen has a 1080p FHD AMOLED display. Although Oppo has done well to cut down the bezels on the sides, the phone is still pretty wide to hold in one hand. Being metal clad, the R7 Plus weighs around 193g (exactly same as iPhone 6s Plus), but Oppo has done well to keep the weight below 200g despite the huge screen....
While the RingID boasts of quite a lot of new features, the deal maker for me was the ability to place voice and video calls over a congested sluggish network and also low speed connectivity. The app comes with a menu head that would allow you to navigate between Home, dial pad, contacts, call history and messages. Cranking it up Getting on board is pretty easy with a OTP verification setup, however once the initial setup is done, things can get a bit crazy....
