Didi Chuxing is also expected to make an investment of $1 billion in Uber at a valuation of $68 billion. The deal comes close on the heels of Chinese government legalizing taxi-hailing services which are something that will give a huge leeway for Didi and Uber to expand its services in the country. It’s also worth noting that Didi has previously invested in a slew of ride-sharing services including Lyft, Ola, and Grab....

Though it is not the first thing that will strike you about the phone. You will be dazzled with its sleek design, especially that stylish gradient finish on the back with understated lines that become visible only when light plays on them from certain angles. You will also love the large 6.35-inch display and how well it handles colors. And of course, the moment you hold the phone, one of the first things you will notice is just how solid it feels in spite of being surprisingly light for a device that contains a massive 5000mAh (yes!...
And 2022 has got underway with Vivo adding its own contender to the list – the Vivo V23 Pro. Vivo has taken a very different approach from its competitors at around this price point to the brand’s credit. While most have tried to play up their spec sheets and unleash potential “flagship killers,” Vivo has developed a device that focuses on style rather than benchmark scores and spec readouts. It might not have the heavy-duty specs that some of the devices at this price point do, but it has other features that they do not....
Unlike last year, the claim to fame for Vivo’s latest smartphones are its front cameras. Vivo apparently claims that their V5 Plus is the first smartphone to boast of a dual front camera setup. That said, it’s worth noting that the company’s claim isn’t really accurate as Lenovo had launched a similar smartphone before in the form of their Vibe S1. Vivo V5 is the cheaper of the two and comes with a 20MP front facing camera....

The introduction of the new Obsidian Black Edition isn’t quite surprising though, as last year itself, in light of the new iPhone 6S launch, we had seen Samsung and Sony launch Rose Gold variants of their flagship Note 5 and Xperia Z smartphones respectively. That said, the Jet Black variant of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus can’t be termed revolutionary as we have seen some Android phones being launched with this color even before....

A German blog seems to have gotten hold of the private beta for the app and the screenshots depict video calling and a couple of other features being tested out. Apart from the Video calling thing, WhatsApp also seems to be testing a multiple chat window option that would let users private chat with users in different tabs, simultaneously. The Video calling menu comes baked with the usual set of features including the front/back camera toggle, repositioning the video preview on the main screen and the option to mute/unmute the microphone....
If you are in US, India, UK and other countries, when you buy an iPhone, Apple ties up the iPhone 4 device you are buying to a local telecom provider like AT&T, Vodafone, O2 or Airtel. The service providers in turn subsidize the price of iPhone 4 by more than half of its actual price. But in turn forcing you to sign a contract (usually 2 years) to use their voice and data plans....
Apple announced iPhone 4S earlier this week. It is now available for pre-order in US, Canada, Australia, UK, Germany, France & Japan and will be available starting Oct 14th. The problem with iPhone 4S in many countries including US, is that Apple ties up the iPhone purchase to a local telecom provider like AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone or O2. The service providers in turn subsidize the price of iPhone 4S by more than half of its actual price....
Talking about listening to music on smartphones, there is a general belief that an external device (like a headphone) connected to an iPhone sounds much better than the one connected to an Android. The root cause for this is the difference in the quality of DAC and AMP used on these devices. Before jumping onto how these affect the sound quality, let’s first get some basics out of the way....

But at the end of the day, browsers are apps too. And it can get a tad messy when you’re trying to do everything on one application especially while juggling between hundreds of tabs and tons of windows. Enter Workona, a Google Chrome extension which brings the concept of workspaces to your browser. Workspaces, on Workona, are nothing but your work divided in multiple windows which, of course, begs the question — What’s the purpose of installing a third-party tool then if it’s just creating new windows?...
