The photos show a device with a huge camera, just like what we had seen in that leaked video (which was later removed by Google). There is no Nexus branding though, which makes it a bit tough for us to be sure it’s a Nexus 5. But most hints are fitting into the jigsaw puzzle, saying its Nexus 5 indeed. As per Phonescoop, who first spotted it, the filing was submitted as a “class 2 permissive change” for the LG’s latest flagship Android device, the G2....
The sudden rise in audio consumption over the past few years can be attributed widely to the increase in audio creation and consumption platforms and tools that are empowering creators to churn out audio versions of their content to cater to a larger audience. Listnr happens to be one such tool that we are discussing today. It is an all-new podcasting solution that helps you convert blog posts into audio (speech) content, which you can distribute or embed across various online platforms....
The ’S’ variant stands for “Sports” while the E is for “Express.” The makers of Ticwatch have tried to strike the perfect balance between the Fitness and smartwatch functionality. Both the variants are powered by Google Assistants, and they leverage the Google’s exhaustive ecosystem. As one could see in the demo video, the Ticwatch responds very well to the commands, and the integration seems to be near perfect. Apart from the usual set of applications the Ticwatch also helps you monitor sleep, detect music and other stuff right from your waist....

And did not mention China or the Chinese even once in a very brief launch. One that barely spanned half an hour. In fact, at the very outset, Rahul Sharma, one of the founders (and for many the face) of Micromax, said: “Product ka jawaab sirf product se hi diya jaa sakta hai…” (“Only a product can counter a product…”) Cheeni? Cheeni kum? Heck, NO Cheeni at all! It was a surprisingly low-key presentation from a brand that has never fought shy of engaging with its competitors – heck, it even poked fun at the mighty iPhone....
It is, however, rather apt that the best implementation of the gesture-based interface comes from the company many call the Chinese Apple, Xiaomi. The company brought a gesture-based interface to its “full screen” devices, i.e., devices with 18:9 aspect ratio (in India that would mean the Redmi 5, Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Mi Mix 2) with the MIUI 9.5 update that was made available for download a while ago – rather appropriately the gestures are called full-screen gestures....
Moto G was launched back in November last year in Brazil, US and some European countries. Back then, Motorola had promised to bring the budget android smartphone to India in Jan 2014. As we reported sometime back, Motorola had some issues striking a deal with offline retailers and hence they decided to team up with Flipkart and others to have an online-only launch. In markets like India, sub-15k segment has some serious competition, but mostly had Indo-Chinese brands like Micromax, Gionee, Lava/XOLO and Karbonn competing with each other....
The loophole seems to be a SS7 flaw in the architecture of the signalling system which is devised to allow mobile phone roaming across telecom providers. SS7 signalling protocol was developed way back in 1975 and now in the current cellular setup it is used to perform transitional functions including, prepaid billing, SMS, local number portability among a host of other services. Flags were raised in 2014 when it was reported that a protocol vulnerability of the SS7 will allow non state actors to track the movement of cellphone users from any location across the world with a success rate of 70 percent....
Xiaomi addressed the situation with a statement, which reads, “At Xiaomi, our endeavor is to provide the best Smart TV experience to all our Mi Fans and we are constantly working on improving it. While we have pushed the latest Android TV update to over 3 Million devices, we regret to inform that android updates cannot be made available to Mi TV 4 55″ because of the custom chip used in the device on account of its unique design which does not support the requirement for Android TV codecs....
And as if that were not enough, now we have a slight change of sequence. We are saying this after the company’s most recent smartphone, the Nokia 8.1. Now going by the name of the device, most people would think that the Nokia 8.1 would be next in line from the flagship Nokia 8, right? After all, more than 90 percent of their names are the same – they are separated by just a decimal and one....

And it’s not RED. This special edition OnePlus 5T comes in gorgeous white color on the back with red accents for the alert slider. As you would expect, there is also a Star Wars logo etched in red on the back. We didn’t get to see the OnePlus 5T Star Wars edition phone in person, but OnePlus played a teaser video at the event. As per our sources, the phone is expected to launch on December 16th, a day after Star Wars: The Last Jedi gets released....

Now, traditionally you would think that the more expensive of the two comes from Apple and the more affordable one from OnePlus. After all, OnePlus has been known to bundle top of the line specs with surprisingly affordable price tags whereas Apple, on the other hand, has been accused of being ridiculously overpriced more than once. These two companies, for a major part of their lives, have played these roles where one introduced flagship killers and the other introduced, well, flagships....
Well, sort of… Looks a little more mainstream That is because while the OnePlus 8T is an upgrade of the OnePlus 8 that was launched earlier in 2020, it is perhaps the first T series device from OnePlus that features the same processor as its predecessor. Whereas T devices in the past always had the newer Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship chip, the OnePlus 8T sticks to the Snapdragon 865 we saw on the OnePlus 8, and does not go for the 865+ that some more recent flagships have used....
The OnePlus Band features what the company refers to as an active design, with an IP68 (and 5ATM) rating that keeps it protected from exposure to dust and water. It has a detachable tracker module that allows for customization and makes it easier for you to switch between different straps. Upfront, there is a 1.1-inch AMOLED display — a colored one with a screen resolution of 126 x 294 pixels....
The Oppo Enco Free follows the ongoing trend of truly-wireless earbuds and adopts a similar design language, except for the added silicone ear tips. Instead of offering a single kind of ear tip, the Enco comes with two distinct designs: in-ear tips for a more secure fit and semi-in-ear tips for offering some breathability. One of the interesting highlights of the earbuds is the Binaural Simultaneous Bluetooth transmission, which claims to offer a synchronized audio experience by delivering sound to both ears simultaneously....
Oppo has treated the back with Carbon Fibre and an Oppo logo that comes etched in Gold. The Lamborghini Logo is placed on the lower half. Apart from the design changes, the Lamborghini edition Oppo Find X also comes equipped with a Super VOOC charging that is capable of charging the device from 0-100% at just 35 minutes, as fast as a Lamborghini! Well, this isn’t the first time we have seen smartphone manufacturers partnering with automobile companies....
Today’s update brings several other exciting features as well, including several new themes and hundreds of emoji, some of these features had been available for a while in the beta, and it’s nice to know that they have been ironed out for the final product.
