The offer comes on the heels of Microsoft discontinuing the Surface 3 lineup, a device that would have otherwise appealed to the student buyers budget. It is still unclear if the Surface 3 will have an immediate successor or if Microsoft will continue piggybacking on the more expensive Surface 4 Pro lineup.

No, it was much more than that. Allow me to digress for a moment. One of the first questions that often get asked whenever we take a good picture is: “which camera/phone did you use to take it?” It is almost as if in some way, the camera (be it a proper camera or one in a phone) plays the biggest role in taking a picture. Well, there is no doubt that the camera is very important – hell, the photograph would not exist without it – but what so many of us sometimes forget is that it is the person behind the camera who actually makes the photograph happen....

The answer to that is complicated. But before we try to unravel it, here’s what you need to know about OnePlus 5T’s position in the market today. There are primarily three fundamental aspects where the OnePlus 5T still holds an edge over its competition. Performance, software, and screen. I’ve been playing the new PUBG Mobile game regularly as of late.

The letter only sparked more debate, with Redmi’s opponents considering it an admission of the fact that the devices were overpriced (Xiaomi had never issued such a letter about its pricing in the past), and its supporters using it to bolster their arguments that it was not.

In a letter obtained exclusively by the New York Times, major investors of the company, which together own more than a quarter of Uber’s stock, asked Mr. Kalanick to leave immediately as Uber “needed a change in leadership”.

The company on its blog mentioned that when a user refreshes his/her Twitter feed after some time, tweets which are ranked on top by the algorithm will appear on top in reverse-chronological order. Though, the ones that aren’t yet analysed will show up underneath as usual. It looks like right now that Twitter is currently keeping this in beta by not enabling it automatically. Users will have to turn it on manually from the settings, “Show me the best tweets first,” is what Twitter is calling it right now and it totally seems like a way for roping in more testers....

Smartphones have traditionally sported SoCs, which stands for System-on-Chip, at their hearts consisting of all the basic hardware required for the phone to run including the processor, GPU, RAM, storage etc. The reason SoCs were adopted is that they take up much lesser space which is a basic necessity in a smartphone due to size constraints. However, as smartphones keep getting more and more powerful, the need to include more components such as larger batteries, multiple cameras, and cameras with large sensor sizes is increasing, but the overall form-factor of a smartphone needs to be maintained at a manageable size....
