As a result, the service has seen a spike in recent years and is continuing to grow with the same trajectory. However, it does come with its share of problems.

There are hell lot of Bit-torrent clients available, but uTorrent is arguably the best torrent client amongst all. The best thing about uTorrent is the low memory footprint which enables us to carry out our normal work while the torrent is getting downloaded at the backend. But uTorrent, being an open source software has loads of configurable parameters, which have to be manually set for optimal performance. Add to this, ISP throttling is another issue which needs to be dealt with for many torrent users....

Build Quality and Design I have reviewed plenty of TWS earphones recently and what I have realized is that the fit of the earphones and how it feels inside your ears over prolonged usage is as important or in some cases even more important than the quality of sound produced by the earphones. While the design and fit are largely subjective, I personally prefer an open-ear design, similar to the AirPods or the Realme Buds Air....

The Xperia X is pitched as the flagship smartphone, at least here in India. But globally, it sits in between the real flagship – Xperia X Performance and the mid-ranger, Xperia XA. For reasons best known to Sony, the Japanese company thinks that Xperia X has enough to be a flagship and take on the likes of Samsung Galaxy S7, the LG G5 and the HTC 10, and the Indian market isn’t ready yet for the Xperia X Performance, which comes with the same camera module, but much better hardware overall....

The Verge reached out for a comment from Google and the statement they received seems to be far from satisfactory....

Fast forward to the current year, and we feel tempted to use the same lines to describe the Pixel 3 XL that we did for its predecessor. For, let’s get it out of the way, yes, its design does seem a slight refinement from its predecessor (more glassy, more classy, if more smudge-prone too) in spite of the large notch on the top that seems unusually intrusive, and the hardware is top notch (pun intended), but – BUT – there is just no doubting that the camera on the Pixel 3 XL is a tech miracle of sorts....
