Until now, there was no possible way of going live from your DSLR or a Video camcorder without relying on a handful of messy cables and conversion boxes. However, a new Kickstarter project promises to change all of this. The YoloBox is a new camera equipment that will finally make Professional Live Streaming possible. The YoloBox is designed to work with a majority of camera equipment and all one would need is an HDMI cable....

Recent positioning of brands in India Recently, major brands posted the numbers achieved by them in the last quarter of the year 2015 and we are not surprised to see Samsung at the top of the chart, yet again. The South Korean handset maker owned 28.6% market share in the smartphone domain, which is a significant improvement over the same period of last year (27.4% in 2014). In 2015, Micromax had the second largest chunk of the market share with a 14....

Apple and Google are the absolute leaders when it comes to mobile apps, and no matter what Microsoft didn’t try, it was pretty hard to reach them in terms of number of supported apps. Thus, Microsoft’s plans to enable Android apps on Windows and Windows Phone have been known for quite a while. And now it seems that the company has finally come up with a plan that actually makes sense....

However, the operating system was not well received by users. After getting a lot of flak by reviewers across the planet, Steven Sinofsky, head of Windows 8 development lost his job. Later came Windows 8.1, which brought the Start button to the desktop, and the operating system did improve a lot of things which was echoed by experts as well. Earlier this year, Microsoft released Windows 8.1 Update that allowed the traditional mouse and keyboard users work on the new operating system more efficiently, and allowed people to boot directly to the desktop mode....

The laptop comes with the latest Intel processors, Nvidia GeForce GPU with GDDR5 memory and 12 hours of battery life. There’s a precision glass trackpad onboard with 5 points of touch. Microsoft claims that it gets the best-in-class key stroke and it also features backlit keys for those moments when you have to work at night. They are also very, very silent, stable and comfortable. Also, it seems that the trackpad has been “optimized by the Windows 10 engineering team,” which is something that we don’t see too often....

Going by the leaks, the P30 sports a glass back along with an aluminium frame. The tall 6.2-inch 19:9 display on the front now sports a notch accompanied by a small chin at the bottom. The phone resembles the Lenovo Z5 released earlier in a lot of ways, and given that Lenovo took over Moto, its no surprise. The leaks alsho show three color options – The conventional Black and White along with a third unique option, which looks like a colorful gradient, similar to the one found on some Huawei devices like P20 Pro....

Motorola is simply lending its brand name to Flipkart which is designing, manufacturing and marketing the TV. For the uninitiated, Flipkart already has its homegrown brand for electronic appliances called Marq which will continue to exist alongside Motorola TV.

It has a new active liquid-cooling system that comes along with an internal turbofan (claimed by the company to be the world’s first in a smartphone) to keep the heat out of the device and keep it cool during heavy graphics crunching....

Well, the OnePlus 7 Pro changes that. For, with the addition of the Pro moniker comes not just a significant increase in price but also aspiration. Previous editions of the OnePlus (special editions aside) had been content to be well (rather than exceptionally) designed, excellently specced devices which might not have been able to totally match their premium counterparts in all departments – most notably design, display, sound and cameras – but ran them close enough in a few and never made you feel too bad about what they missed out on because hey, they came at much lesser price tags....

And it has done the same with its watch. The OnePlus Watch released earlier this year got most things right, and the ones it did not like an always-on display were fixed (in best OnePlus tradition) through updates. Now it has got a special edition that is, well, magical. Literally. Let us get one thing clear at the very outset – the OnePlus Harry Potter Limited Edition Watch is basically the same OnePlus Watch that was released earlier....

At Rs 4,999, the Nord Watch makes a solid case for itself with its stylish design, vibrant and responsive display, good battery life, and a few smarts that add to its functionality. That said, the Nord Watch loses out on a few fronts, like the always-on display and built-in GPS that one of its strongest competitors—the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini New Version — priced a little higher at Rs 5,999 packs, which makes Amazfit’s offering equally compelling....

The question is: which does it better? Well, we decided to compare the portrait mode of the iPhone 7 Plus with that of Selfie Bokeh mode of the Vivo V5 Plus. We took two snaps of our Editorial Mentor at his favorite Starbucks using the iPhone 7 Plus and then asked him to do the honors himself with the Vivo V5 Plus. Of course, it was impossible for us to get exactly similar shots from the two devices but you can see the results for yourselves....

Power banks are cool, but you know, they take forever to charge. I have a power bank from a company called Zoook, and I kid you not, it takes 13 hours to charge completely. The Meizu Power Bank, which is available in 10,000mAh capacity, is addressing this annoying problem. The company says that thanks to its fast-charging support, you can have an MX 5 smartphone connected to it, and still manage to get the full-charge of 10,000mAh in less than 3....

The Best App, on the other hand, was crowned to an app called Drops which employs image-based exercises to teach 31 foreign languages. However, since Drops isn’t as popular as the other services, it couldn’t bag the Fan Favorite App title which went to Google Pay in India and YouTube TV in the United States, both, of course, developed by none other than Google. Google also picked a couple of winners in a few other specific categories such as the Best Entertaining to TikTok, LightFX Photo Editor, SonyLiv, and the Best Indie Game to Alto’s Odyssey, Hexologic, and more....
