Besides the ingenious engineering that has made this device so thin (the motherboard for the Vivo X5Max that is only 1....

Channel 9 in Australia and Star Sports in India have the exclusive rights to telecast the cricket world cup 2015, but not everyone will have access to television sets all the time. If you are a cricket buff and don’t want to miss any action, you can watch world cup 2015 online for free. Thing to note here is, most of the services are geo-restricted. We will make the best efforts to clarify that in-line, but the alternative option would be to use one of the Free VPN services to bypass geo-restrictions....

With a net worth of roughly $6.5 billion, Acton currently overlooks the company’s engineering team and is expected to hand off his duties to other engineers. In the post, he stated plans for developing a non-profit which will be primarily focused “at the intersection of nonprofit, technology and communications.” In a lot of ways, though, this is what WhatsApp had always stood for before Facebook acquired it three years ago....

Basically, if the touchpad on a PC stops working, then using that PC is a user’s worst nightmare.

I still remember the intensity with which the Motorola executive briefing us about the Motorola Moto X in early 2014 uttered those words. It is a line that we think Google could do well to pick up when it starts marketing the Pixel 4a in India. And that is because the Pixel 4a somewhere seems to hark back to the Moto X in terms of philosophy. By Moto X, incidentally, we mean the first Moto X, not the ones that followed, that got drawn into the spec sheet battle....

As per the report, Xiaomi shipped around 3.7 million units during the last quarter, thereby beating both Apple and Fitbit by a small margin. The shipments resulted in Xiaomi capturing a 17.1% market share in the still nascent wearable market. It’s a huge leap ahead for Xiaomi considering, the fact that the company was occupying the third spot in the first quarter of this year. Fitbit and Apple, on the other hand, had a reasonably dry quarter with the companies placed at second and third spot respectively....

The AirDots Pro 2s feature a similar design as the older model, and they include a 14.2mm driver with support for LDHC/SBC/AAC codes. The company says the earphones come with semi-in-ear design, which ensures they fit your ear canal and don’t fall off easily, while also being comfortable. Besides, there is support for smart voice controls and an infrared sensor that automatically pauses/resumes music when you take them out of the ear....

Smart looking… In many ways, the Redmi 1S takes a few leaves out of the Mi 3 book of design and specs. And that, believe us, is not a bad thing at all. As in the case of that worthy, the front is dominated by a 4.7-inch touchscreen with three touch buttons beneath it for home, back and for tweaking the homescreen/launcher and general settings. A neat touch is the fact that these buttons are in red, which makes them appear a bit more snazzy, although they do sometimes tend to get lost in the dark....

Yahoo was in fact the first to introduce access to Yahoo account by SMS verification, a method wherein every time a user wants to login to his Yahoo mail account the password will be sent to the registered mobile number in the form of a OTP, just like how bank authenticates its transactions. Yahoo in a bid to improvise on the OTP password has introduced a better login method which is more efficient as well....

But beneath those very similar sounding specs are a number of improvements on the cameras of the latest iPhones. Most are subtle, but there is one in the Pro range that jumps right out at you – the macro mode. For the uninitiated, the macro mode is used to take extreme close-ups – shots that you take from literally an inch or two from the subject. Those amazing insect or water droplet close-ups?...

Looks and design: No glass palaces please At a time when so many phone designs are going on roads paved with glass, both Honor and Xiaomi have opted to follow a more metallic path. In fact, both devices follow a broadly similar design aesthetic – with a display dominated front and metal backs that curve away from it. However, there is no chance of any person mistaking one for the other, and that is because, within these broad similarities, there are some sharp differences....

It is also the most striking Micromax device we have seen for a while. No, we are not going down the path of some of our colleagues who have tried to draw visual parallels with the Samsung Galaxy S8 or the LG G6 here, but there is no doubting that in its price segment – the sub-Rs 10,000 one – the Micromax Canvas Infinity’s 18:9 aspect ratio display makes it one of a kind....
