That is a question that has been asked again and again ever since Nokia launched the Nokia 8 Sirocco a few days ago in India. The reason for this is simple – from a distance, the 8 Sirocco seems to match the Google device in many regards. Take a closer look, however, and the Nokia Device seems to loom large as a potential Pixel 2 challenger. Sounds hard to believe?...
Well, that is where Prisma comes in. Yes, we have add apps that attempt to convert images into sketches and even works of art (we reviewed Waterlogue way back in 2014, remember?), these efforts have largely been gimmicky – you could see that it was a photograph that had been tweaked, and the options were generally restricted. Prisma, now, is a very different kettle of fish. It not only allows you to convert your photographs into art work, but actually lets you pick the styles that you want....
And things took on another dimension when Realme launched the Realme 5 a few days ago, just a day before the Xiaomi Mi A3 was launched. And while that rivalry did get its share of attention (check our comparison here), Xiaomi added another dimension to the battle by slashing the price of its own Redmi Note 7S to exactly the same level as that of the Realme 5. Both devices start at Rs 9,999 and lay claim to being the best smartphone you can get for under Rs 10,000....
How do the Realme Buds 2 fair in that aspect? Let’s find out if it’s the best pair of earphones you can get for Rs. 599. Here is our Realme 2 Buds review. Design and Build As stated earlier, the Realme Buds 2 are build with solid materials and feel much more premium than the price tag might indicate. Right from the housing to the cables, the earphones feel robust....
The reason why we rank the Note 11S a notch above the Note 11 and the Note 11T is good old performance. As we remarked in our reviews of the Redmi Note 11T 5G and the Redmi Note 11, both devices were good in their own ways, but neither had anything compelling about them. This was very odd by Redmi Note standards. Both were good phones, but neither really stood out from the competition....
High on substance, low on style We had touched upon the appearance of the OnePlus 3 and how it differs from its predecessors in our first impressions of the device. Suffice to say, it differs significantly from its predecessors and ditches its trademark sandstone finish back for a smooth metallic one, that makes it look more like a HTC device than a OnePlus one (pun unintentional this time). It might not be as distinct as the OnePlus One or the OnePlus 2, but the OnePlus 3 is a handsome phone nevertheless and one that no one will shy from flaunting – we just wish that camera on the back did not jut out so, but then no one is perfect....
Here’s all you need to know about the Exynos 1080 The latest Samsung SoC builds on the 5nm fabrication process as opposed to the 7nm-based Exynos 990, which should improve the power efficiency to a certain degree. It is an octa-core processor based on the 1+3+4 configuration. The configuration features one Cortex-A78 core (clocked at 2.8GHz), three Cortex-A76 cores (clocked at 2.6GHz), and four Cortex-A55 cores (clocked at 2GHz). According to the company’s claims, the single-core performance on the Exynos 1080 has been improved by 50%, with a roughly 2x gain in multi-core performance....
Samsung Galaxy A10 Specifications The Galaxy A10 comes with a 6.2-inch HD+ Infinity-V display. As the name suggests, the device features a waterdrop notch at the top that houses the front camera, which is why Samsung calls it the Infinity-V display. Under the hood, it is powered by an Octa-Core Exynos 7884 chipset, paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage (expandable up to 512GB using a microSD card)....
And to give Samsung credit, the Korean brand has not really cut too many corners in this regard. As we pointed out in our first cut of the product, the A50 cannot be called a lightweight in any department by any stretch of the imagination. Right from the 6.4-inch full HD+ Super AMOLED display to the Exynos 9610 processor (just a notch below the ones seen on the flagship S series) backed with 4 GB and 6 GB of RAM to the under display fingerprint scanner to the massive 4000 mAh battery to the triple camera set up on the back, which in itself is beautifully crafted and reflects light in different patterns, in spite of being carbonate rather than glass, the Galaxy A50 radiates a level of class that is a clear cut above most of its mid-segment counterparts....
Samsung Galaxy M02: Design and Display In terms of design, the Galaxy M02 appears to have a textured finish on the back and comes in four colors: Blue, Gray, Red, and Black. Towards the front, it has a 6.5-inch HD+ (LCD) display with a teardrop-style notch to house the front-facing camera. Samsung Galaxy M02: Performance In terms of performance, the Samsung Galaxy M02 runs on MediaTek MT6739W, which is a quad-core processor with up to 1....
Galaxy M32 Review: Solid, substantial, if not stylish For, the Galaxy M32 is really all about ticking the basic boxes. The phone is designed on very solid rather than spectacular lines. The front is all about a tall display, albeit with a drop hole notch, rather than a more modern punch hole notch. The back is glossy carbonate but comes with subtle stripes that change color when light falls on them....
Flagship killers become flagships…so why not vice versa? The term flagship killer was introduced by OnePlus when it hit the market with devices that were literally out on a mission to sink flagships at that time. These flagship assassins were bundled with high-end specs, good design, and relatively affordable price tags. However, OnePlus over the past year, in particular, seems to have moved from this position. The new OnePlus devices seem to have gone from being flagship killers to just being more like the flagships they were killing a few years ago....
Furthermore, Blass also shared an image that reveals the Galaxy S8 will feature an iterative design upgrade rather than a complete reboot which isn’t particularly a bad thing. Additionally, Samsung has removed almost every front component including the fingerprint reader and hardware navigation buttons to make room for a larger display with minimal bezel, a trend we expect to go standard in the smartphone industry this year. Speaking of the biometric reader, the fingerprint sensor has been shifted to the back, and the front camera houses an iris scanner instead of a dedicated opening....
One of the worst kept secrets in the recent history of gadgets, Samsung Galaxy tab (GT-P1000) was officially unveiled today at IFA 2010 in Berlin, Germany. This is the first tablet which comes close to be a competitor for Apple’s iPad and definitely the best Android tablet out there in the market currently. Update: Samsung Galaxy Tab Price – $599 on Verizon The major selling point of Galaxy Tab is that it can also be used as a phone unlike iPad....
With each of these products, Samsung has something unique to offer. Starting with the Tab S6, the newest flagship tablet from the company targets people who want to get work done, while on the go. For which, it comes with an improved keyboard, that supports a built-in trackpad and a dedicated DeX key, and also offers new DeX features. On the other hand, with the Galaxy Watch 4G, Samsung forays into its first eSIM product that offers mobility and allows users to always stay connected without a phone....
Fortunately, that won’t happen as the Sennheiser M2 has done nothing but impressed over the past ten days I have been carrying it around my neck. It has a premium leather design, lucid sound and more importantly, will fit any ungodly set of ears you throw at it thanks to the wide range of extra buds that Sennheiser bundles. But is it worthy enough to justify that lavish price tag?...
As the name indicates, the Indy ANC are of the well-known Indy series, and well, they come with the Personal Sound option that customizes the listening experience for every user, provided you use the Skullcandy app for it. Also promised are an “enhanced” fit and the ability to use each bud on its own if needed. Battery life stands at a very respectable 19 hours with ANC running, and the buds come with IPX4 sweat and water resistance....
In terms of design, the all-new Push seemingly has a smaller footprint, compared to most of the other truly-wireless earbuds and features an ear gel design that provides a snug fit in the ear. It comes with a charging case that appears to be quite handy and offers an additional six hours of battery, on top of six hours of battery life of the earbuds alone. For connectivity, the Push uses Bluetooth 4....
However, once the chipset reached consumers, things started to go steeply downhill as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, while powerful, offered sub-par performance with CPU throttling issues and poor battery life. It was determined that this was due to the technical failures that came with using Samsung’s inferior 4nm manufacturing process. To address the damage and shortcomings of the 8 Gen 1, the San Diego-based company announced its latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset in May this year, jettisoning Samsung’s far inferior 4nm process in favor of TSMC’s N4 (4nm) manufacturing process....
Futuristic, blinky looks The Sony WF- 1000X wireless earphones come in a compact metal case which also acts as a charger for them. The case itself comes with a micro USB 2.0 charging port. The boxy case at first might look a little bulky (especially when compared with the square-ish small one for the AirPods) but generally fits most pockets. When you open the case, there are two slots labeled “R” and “L....
