So, naturally, this has upset those users who were hoping for a not so heavy modified Android version and something closer to the clean, Vanilla version. While this could happen in the future with another device, if you own a Nokia X, X+ or XL and you want to run on clean Android, an ingenious developer has released Vanilla Android 4.1.2 for the Nokia X which is already available for download....
Some eagle eyed folks at Android Police have come out with the date (Dec 9th) based on the number listed on Notion Ink’s redesigned homepage which was 10001 two days back, 10000 yesterday and 1111 today. For those who are not familiar with the binary code, the initial number listed there was said to have been 17, followed by 16 yesterday, and 15 today. Since the number changes each day, it supposedly counts down to December 9th, most probably the day when the new tablet PC would be made available for pre-order for all of those who are interested in purchasing it....
The alleged hackers who go by the name “TeamUnknown” on Reddit have posted what appears to be the screenshots of the internal database structure of the company. The team further goes on to point out that OlaCabs’ servers were very weakly configured, making it easier for them to glean sensitive information such as customers’ credit card transaction history and unused vouchers from the database. “Their Application design is very poor and their development server is weakly configured....
OnePlus 8 Pro Specifications (leaked) Update: Famous tipster @OnLeaks on Twitter has just leaked the official press render of the OnePlus 8 Pro in Green and the color surely looks unique! You can check out more images on igeeksblog. OnePlus introduced the ‘Pro’ series with the OnePlus 7 last year wherein they went all-in with regards to specifications and numbers, and that seems to be the case with the OnePlus 8 Pro too....
The Nord 2 5G (hence referred to as the “Nord 2”) sings a rather different tune. It draws attention to its processor (CEO Pete Lau referred to it in his post on the OnePlus forum announcing the phone), its camera, and its blazingly fast charging. The first Nord did not seem to care about its spec sheet. The new Nord waves it proudly. If the first Nord was a great everyday phone, the Nord 2 claims to be “pushing the limits of a great everyday phone....
Often referred to as the “flagship killer of 2014,” the OnePlus One is one heck of a great smartphone to ignore. It packs in the top-of-the-line hardware modules coupled with software from Cyanogen Inc. But as impressive as the OnePlus One is, it too comes riddled with a few glitches here and there. As we pointed out earlier this week, there are a number of issues the phone ships with leaving users confused about many a things....
As already mentioned, the upcoming flagship smartphones from OnePlus will feature an OLED screen with Quad HD+ resolution, 10-bit HDR, and the most interesting, 120Hz refresh rate with a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The company says each of its screens is calibrated to accurate colors with an RGB color temperature sensor with a <0.8 JNCD (Just Noticeable Color Difference) rating. Further, it also suggests that the new technology offers a 4096-level automatic brightness level (over the current 1024-level), which is the highest in Android smartphones....
For, let’s get one thing straight, the Oppo K1 does not come into the “do things better” category and does not even try to fight on price. At Rs 16,990, there are some who would think that it is actually losing the price battle to the likes of the Galaxy M20, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and of course, the Redmi Note 6 Pro (yes, comparisons are underway). The fact, however, is that the K1 brings a number of new beats to the mid-segment smartphone party....
The above effort made by a startup, Numecent is fruitful in this direction. The company has filed for a patent on this budding technology.

Thanks to the fast internet connections provided by internet service providers; with minimum coding on local computer, online games can be played. Cloud Paging Technology, Next Step in Online Games Hardware resources present at the nearest computer will be utilized to process the request from the user....
Let us examine the evidence – while Poco’s comeback device, the X2, seemed reasonably different from anything in India (it was evidently a rebranded Redmi device that had been launched internationally), the M2 Pro and the M2 have been rather different. The Poco M2 Pro mirrored the Redmi Note 9 Pro and added a slightly different design (in terms of colors) to the mix, while the M2 seems to be the Redmi 9 Prime with more RAM and a faster charger and again in different colors, at a slightly higher price tag than the Prime....
The biggest highlight of the new processors is the fact that they are now compatible with two rear camera sensors. Both of them support up to a pair of 8-megapixel lenses. For single arrangements, the Snapdragon 439 can power a 21-megapixel snapper, while the Snapdragon 429 is limited to 16-megapixel. The Snapdragon 439 supports a maximum resolution of Full HD+ and the Snapdragon 432, HD+. Performance upgrades are largely marginal on these new processors especially in the case of the Snapdragon 439....
The next generation of Always Connected Personal Computers (ACPCs) will be significantly more powerful and at the same time, significantly more efficient. Qualcomm has managed to beat Intel to announce the first ever PC chip based on the 7nm technology. In fact, Intel has been struggling to go past the 14nm architecture and there is news of them abandoning 10nm recently. While the primary focus remains the same – always-connected PCs with all-day battery, there is a significant leap in performance....
Starting off with the camera, the new integrated Qualcomm Spectra™ 160 premium camera ISP (image signal processor) aims to promise relatively accurate skin tones, higher throughput for dual camera smartphones, and more importantly, improves on low light photography. Furthermore, it also supports smooth optical zoom, dual pixel autofocus and refines video stabilisation. Moreover, the Snapdragon 660 comes equipped with Qualcomm’s Hexagon™ 680 DSP that allows the chipset to attain higher performance levels, power efficient processing of imaging and machine intelligence workloads....
Connecting the Razer Phone to the dock powers the laptop, which apart from a battery and a few extra GBs of storage, entirely relies on the phone including the speakers. Doing so extends the phone’s interface on to the bigger screen which you can control with a full-sized keyboard and the Razer Phone itself as the trackpad. In a nutshell, you’re basically using a big Android tablet with a keyboard and mouse....
Earlier this year, the series joined the “40 million units club”, marking the milestone of reaching 40 million sales globally in just over two years. And now, it’s got two new devices poised to keep up the pace: Realme 10 Pro 5G and Realme 10 Pro+ 5G. Between the two, the Realme 10 Pro+ 5G is the higher-end offering, featuring a 120Hz curved display, a 108MP primary camera, a Dimensity 1080 5G chipset, and a 5000mAh battery....
That is because the Realme 3 Pro sticks to the Realme formula of combining distinct design and good hardware with a pretty compelling price tag. With good reason! I mean, why abandon a formula that has got you in the top five smartphone players in a market as big as India. So, the Realme 5 Pro gets off the ground at a price of Rs 13,999 – right in the middle of the highly competitive mid-segment of the Indian smartphone market....
Earlier this year, the company added the GT Neo 3 as a successor to the GT Neo 2 in the GT lineup. The Neo 3 packed plenty of improvements over the Neo 2 and delivered generally better performance, thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset, good battery life (with insanely fast 150W charging), and above-average cameras. Now, months later, Realme has a new (read affordable) variant of the Neo 3 in the lineup....
Redmi 7A vs Realme C2 vs Samsung Galaxy M10 Display The Redmi 7A features a 5.45-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a 1440 x 720 pixels screen resolution with an 18:9 aspect ratio (which is hard to be seen these days), and a 2.5D curved glass. On the other hand, the Galaxy M10 comes with a 6.22-inch HD+ TFT display with a 1520 × 720 pixels screen resolution and a 19....
Looks Note-ably different So how well does the Redmi Note 9 Pro come equipped to handle all this? Let’s get one thing out of the way at the very outset. Like its two immediate predecessors – the Note 7 Pro and the Note 8 Pro – the Redmi Note 9 Pro comes with a very distinct design touch. But whereas the earlier Notes had been notable (pun intended) for their use of materials on the back and gradient finishes, the Note 9 Pro stands out for the design of the camera unit....
Jide failed to gain enough market traction with the Remix OS. The Android based OS, despite offering a great alternative to Windows for PCs failed to garner adequate revenue for the startup. Remix OS ran on PC based hardware (x86) hardware and enabled users to install Android apps. To popularize the OS, the developer had embarked into the consumer electronics market. The Remix Ultratablet was the first product from Jide to hit the market in 2014....
