Redmi Note 9 Pro: Design and Display In terms of design, the Note 9 Pro features an Aura Balance design that incorporates an all-glass approach. The phone comes with splash-proof P2i coating and also offers Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both the front and back. Towards the front, it has a 6.67-inch IPS LCD display, which comes with a 20:9 aspect ratio and provides an FHD+ resolution. The phone comes in three color options: Interstellar Black, Aurora Blue, and Glacier White....

The foray of new Chinese brands has proven to be an headache for OnePlus. Although the company doesn’t publish the official sales figure, OnePlus still seems to have missed the 1-Million sales mark in India in 2015. Nevertheless, OnePlus X is still a great buy at this price (our impressions) and it does come powered with the Snapdragon 801 paired with a 2GB of RAM. The phone will run on Oxygen OS, which is essentially a barebones Android Lollipop 5....

Starting tomorrow, i.e 16th November, Jio is kicking off a campaign across platforms including Facebook where users will be able to sign up for the home delivery of SIM cards. As per the TRAI directive, one person is entitled to hold a maximum of 9 SIM cards. Reliance Jio will let users schedule the time for the home delivery and will send the personnel to complete e-KYC based on Aadhaar....

Alto’s Adventure was an endless runner game that did not really spread like wildfire in a dry forest but more like a subtle stream of water that pretty much-rejuvenated everything it touched. And that was because it focused not on frenetic action but a much more peaceful, if just as continuous, journey. So even while the contemporaries of the game started feeling old and boring to many, Alto’s Adventure just seemed to flow along....

However, sometime around 2010, DTH started gaining steam in India. The end of the tussle between Zee and Star regarding carriage fee opened the floodgates for mass adoption of DTH in India. High-profile DTH launches by Tata Sky, Reliance’s Big TV, Sun DTH, and Videocon D2H, pushed DTH to the next level. MSOs were content providing analogue TV, which gave users no option other than changing channels and volume through a remote, even as DTH operators stole the thunder by providing set top boxes (STBs) that could help one classify channels according to genres; know which show is running currently, what show would come next, set reminders, change languages, get monthly bill statements and a lot more....

That might sound unexciting and simple but the A-series proved last year that a mid-ranger can get big numbers – the Samsung’s Galaxy A51 was one of the highest-selling smartphones globally in 2020. And now we have the successor to that bestseller, the Samsung Galaxy A52. Yes, it has big – wait, make that “huge” – shoes to fill. Just how well does it do that? Not your “smartphone next door” In the smartphone world, there are only a handful of brands that step away from the “follow the trend” bandwagon when it comes to design....

In spite of what the Galaxy A9’s camera muscle might suggest, the rest of the phone is more a mid-ranger than a high-end flagship. It has a 6.3-inch 1080p OLED screen and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 octa-core chipset. There’s up to 8GB of RAM, 128GB of onboard storage which is expandable, and a 3800mAh battery which does support quick charging. The Galaxy A9’s biggest highlight is, of course, its set of camera sensors....

Plastic that rocks metallic looks Glass is the trendy smartphone material at the moment. Any phone that comes with a glass back suddenly gets termed as premium, so it comes as no surprise that smartphone manufacturers want to make everything look like glass, even plastic. Samsung is one of the brands that broke away from the trend. It introduced smartphones that came with plastic backs but, more importantly, did not masquerade as glass and stood loud and proud....

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+: Display The Galaxy Tab S7 features a 11-inch LTPS TFT display with a 2560 x 1600 pixels screen resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the Tab S7+ comes with a slightly bigger, 12.4-inch S-AMOLED display with the same 120Hz refresh rate. Talking about color offerings, the tablet comes in three colorways: Mystic Black, Mystic Bronze, and Mystic Silver...

The DeX pad comes with an arrangement that clips the smartphone to the top. The DeX pad comes with a micro USB port that needs to be connected to the Galaxy S9 and the S9+. Once the device sits flush it can be used as a touchpad and also as a keyboard. I personally feel that using a smartphone as a keyboard for a larger screen is a bit of overstretch....

We have always stressed how important it is to cross check the privacy settings of Facebook, but for a not-so-tech-savvy user, the process is cumbersome and time-consuming. Thankfully, some concerned folks at ReclaimPrivacy have come out with a bookmarklet that can scan a Facebook account to evaluate the privacy settings. The bookmarklet is a no-brainer and really easy to use. All that the Facebook users need to do is to drag the bookmarklet to their bookmarks and click on it to initiate the privacy scan....

In recent weeks, we have seen organizations asking their employees to avoid the commute to office and work from home instead. And as a result, we have seen different companies chip-in to contribute by offering their services for free or discounted tariffs to aid with productivity for those working remotely. However, irrespective of that, the one thing that everyone should have on top of their priority is to keep their hands clean....

Sony WH-1000XM4: Design In terms of design and appearance, the WH-1000XM4 appears identical to its predecessor. The headphones come inside a hard-shell carrying case and are available in two colors: Black and Silver. As for the changes, Sony suggests there is a reduction in the headband padding on the M4, which it claims reduces the clamped feel on the head to offer a more comfortable fit. Sony WH-1000XM4: Hardware The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones incorporate 40mm hybrid drivers to drive the sound and run on Sony’s own QN1 chip, which aids with noise canceling....

First, there was Nordic Blue The brand started it off with its first TWS, the OnePlus Buds, which had normal white and gray variants, but also came with a “Nord Blue” variant, and here, the brand went a little crazy with bright blue earbuds and a stem and a blue case with fluorescent green interiors. Yes, we had seen brands do the odd color experimentation, but this was frankly another level....

Stuffcool PB9018W Review: Minimalistic, solid design Yes, we know that we are recommending a powerbank and that too one that is priced at Rs 4,990, ahead of a conventional charger. Hear us out. Technically, the Stuffcool magnetic wireless power bank is indeed a 10,000 mAh power bank, but it does more than enough for us to rank it as a charger in its own right. Well, it does charge an iPhone, and it does so through a wire as well as without it....

The best calorie counting apps offer a variety of methods for scanning food, including taking a photo of a food product, scanning the barcode, and more. Some calorie-tracking apps occasionally offer a daily calorie intake plan tailored to your specific needs and health goals. They create a comprehensive database and visualize our eating habits, diet plans, etc. But before we start with the best calorie counter apps for Android, let us understand some basics....

We’ve broken this list into two parts – the Top 5, which are the latest and the greatest Chinese phones available in the market to import and the next 5 which are a little dated but still a great choice. So without further ado, let’s start. LeTV S1 What TV? LeTV? Founded in November 2004, LeTV is one of China’s biggest and fastest growing Internet companies whose main business is to stream media content in smart devices i....

Circa got a lot of users, overworked a lot of their employees. But without a clear monetization plan, it was difficult to survive. They closed shop on June 24th. But Circa was a thought leader in this category and showed us the need for a mobile-first news reading app with just the right balance of notifications. A perfect substitute to Circa doesn’t exists. But there are many apps that come close....

To begin with, one will be able to scan the phone numbers from the smartphone camera and detect the same. Users can point the camera at billboards, business cards and the app will detect the number without actually having to take a picture. The best part, however, is that the Number Scanner doesn’t require an internet connection and will fetch the results on a real-time basis. In case of active internet connection, the app will display the details of the contacts you are trying to add....
