A colleague of mine murmured as he watched the launch of the Redmi Note 7 Pro last week. On the large display at the venue was a picture of the Taj Mahal. He was right. Nokia had also used a picture of the Taj Mahal when it was launching the Lumia 1020 in 2013. The biggest attraction of that phone had been a 41-megapixel sensor, something that has been unheard of at that time, even in cameras....

The first thing that one would notice is the new bright color scheme which is present even on the inner frame, a pleasant change from the usual white one. Samsung has further also taken care of the ergonomics and ensured that it is more comfortable when worn. The new touchpad is touted to be faster than the previous one and thankfully Samsung has still retained the dedicated button for Oculus home....

Design-wise, the Vivo X21 looks like any other bezel-less phone with the screen taking up a majority of the front space along with the infamous notch. Powering the Vivo X21 is an Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 clocked at 2....

Called Rewound – Music Player, the app is available free on the iTunes App Store, and is a light enough download at 6.9 MB for the iPhone 11 Pro. And the reason for its being light is simple – it is actually a skin. Launch the app and you get a view of your Apple Music app within it, but there are no images, just different headings on the upper part – Now Playing, Albums, Artists, Songs, Shuffle, Playlists, and Settings....

So what is RCS, and how can it change messaging on Android? Let us explain! What is RCS and how does it work? RCS (Rich Communication Services) is a communication protocol between phones and carriers that aims to replace the old conventional SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) services with a more interactive messaging experience. The idea behind replacing SMS and MMS with RCS is to make the messaging experience on Android on par with the modern standards, which allow users to enjoy a rich messaging experience, much like Apple’s iMessage or some of the popular internet-based messaging services like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger....

This story sounds very familiar if you have followed the journey of the likes of OnePlus or Mi in the market recently. Both the tech players are just as new as some of the other new entrants like Vivo, Oppo or newer than the likes of Gionee in the Indian market, yet if you were to ask an average Joe on the street, he is more likely to recognize the names of a OnePlus or a Xiaomi than say a Vivo....

Nomophobia is well and truly real. While I might be inching towards one extreme end of “screen time”, I’m sure a lot of people would fit in this scale of high screen time in their day-to-day lives. Other than the obvious ‘addiction’ issue, high screen time can be detrimental to our eye health. What is Blue light or HEV (High Energy Violet) Light? Please bear with me as I take you back to your primary grade Physics, where you were taught that Light is made up of different colors....

This is not an article meant to compare the advantages and the disadvantages of cloud storage. You already know what the cloud can do for you, but maybe because it’s so easy accessible and at hand, you might not be aware of the minuses that cloud storage presents. While you might be lured into the beauty and versatility of cloud storage, you should be aware of the dangers that it represents....

Yes, the camera shutter button was of a “Hasselblad orange” color. We were told that the color tuning on the phone’s cameras had been done in collaboration with the camera legend. All said and done, the cameras did a good job, but as my colleague wondered, we really wondered where the much-talked-about and hyped “Hasselblad” touch was. It also prompted many to dismiss the Hasselblad tie-up as merely a marketing gimmick....

The Black Shark Helo also comes with what seems like a more ergonomic exterior. More importantly, though, there are now LED strips on the edges and the logo is backlit, similar to the Razer Phone 2. Under the hood too, the Black Shark Helo is laden with hardware. For starters, it has a 6.01-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1080p and an 18:9 aspect ratio.

Roidmi’s parent firm Xiaomi is yet to enter the highly competitive US market with its smartphone offerings, rather it plans to use its subsidiaries first to improve its branding in the country. Previously, Xiaomi had launched a Roidmi 3S Bluetooth car charger in the country for just $39, which allows users to wireless stream music in their car whilst charging. Besides, the Roidmi sells various other products including air purifiers, mattress cleaner, phone mounts and more....

That is a very common question at smartphone launches today. The kind of glass protecting a display – and even a phone’s back now – has become an important part of the spec sheet. And the most popular class of glass (rhyming intended) in that category is Corning with its brand, Gorilla Glass. But how did Corning getting into the classy glassy business? Well, as in so many smartphone matters, we can blame this one on that one device....

As the formal presentations ended at the launch of the HTC 10 Desire Pro in India yesterday, and media persons drifted off in different directions – some searching for answers to their queries, some for something more edible – one image summed up the state of the company in the country today. It was of HTC’s South Asia President, Faisal Siddiqui, standing quietly in the center of the room. No one seemed to have anything to ask him....

And now, a new chapter has been added to the 2019 rivalry with the Redmi Note 8 Pro and the Realme XT confronting each other and claiming to be the best option in this highly competitive segment. Both come with quad cameras with 64-megapixel main sensors, large displays, big batteries and offer terrific performance for relatively not too much money. But if you had to pick one of the two, which would you go for?...

There are two variants of Tenor E based on the storage and the RAM capacities. We have the higher variant that costs Rs 8,999. For its price, the 10.or E is a well-built phone with polycarbonate unibody design. The edges are curved, and they fit well into your hands. The overall design is reminiscent of the Redmi Note 3, and one cannot deny the resemblance especially on the back. With 8....

The R-Rated Pea from the OnePlus 9 Pod The OnePlus 9, the OnePlus 9 Pro, and the OnePlus 9R are basically peas of the same pod, the OnePlus 9 pod. And this commonality reflects in their design language. Much like the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro, the OnePlus 9R will also fulfill all your premium desires. Keep the three OnePlus 9s next to each other and they would look more like triplets born minutes apart rather than just ordinary siblings, which we think is a major plus design-wise....

And the Note 20 Ultra reflects this King Kong ability of Samsung. Note 20 Ultra: Ultra large Let’s get one thing out of the way – the Note 20 Ultra is a big phone. If you thought that the iPhone 11 Pro Max at 158 mm in length was big, the Note 20 Ultra exceeds it comfortably at 164.8 mm. It is not exactly light at 208 grams but the size of the device actually helps here as the weight is distributed over a larger area....
