“Apple was too scared to acquire me.” Yes, you read that right. An app dedicated to something as routine as the weather comes with a truckload of sass. The first hint you get of it is while installing it when it will call you “meatbag” (a word you will hear very often indeed). Of course, it tells you about the weather, giving you the day’s and the week ahead’s information about the temperature, precipitation, wind, visibility pressure, humidity, dew point and all....

That was the question that flashed across the minds of most people when Samsung announced the price of the Galaxy S10 Lite. At Rs 39,999, the S10 Lite was Samsung’s first serious contender in the budget flagship segment and went right up against the current leader in the segment, the OnePlus 7T, which had been launched at Rs 37,999 (although it has been available at lower prices from time to time)....

Heck, it’s small The first thing that is going to hit you about the iPhone X is just how compact it is. It sports the largest display we have seen on an iPhone at 5.8 inches, but is much – MUCH – smaller than the 5.5-inch display toting iPhone 8 Plus. It is 143.6 mm long as compared to the rather large 158.4 mm of the 8 Plus and its 70....

At first glance, the Realme U1 looks like an exact replica of the Realme 2 Pro launched not too long ago. Polycarbonate back, teardrop notch on the front, same dual camera and fingerprint scanner placement along with all the regular buttons and ports along the sides. The U1, however, skimps on a secondary mic for noise cancellation. Looks like Realme is using the same outer chassis and display panels as the 2 Pro on the U1 and that’s not necessarily a bad thing as the 6....

Mentioned to death. Everyone knows. It is out there. Yes. We know. Many attribute this success of the brand to the popular Note series but while the Note is the star performer, there is a relatively less-hyped series from the brand that also brings in the big numbers. The Redmi A series, where “A” is suffixed to the name of the phone. A, as seen in the Redmi 6A, which is already one of the top five selling phones of the year globally....

However, not all Poco F1 users have got the update yet, as its rollout has been gradual. Of course, you can wait for the update to come over the air (OTA) on your Poco F1 (just check in Settings > About Phone > System updates > Check for updates), but if the OTA has not arrived yet, and you want MIUI 10 on your Poco F1 device right now, just follow these simple steps to get your device onto the tenth wave of MIUI, and no, you do not need to flash your device or go within a mile of a PC:

The Oppo F7, from the outside at least, doesn’t look like a mid-range phone. Its build, which while is made out of plastic and a polymer composite material oozes a sense of glass and feels premium as well as pleasant to hold. The rounded corners ensure the phone comfortably fits in your hands in spite of the presence of a 6.23-inch screen, thanks to the 90% screen-to-body ratio. It looks impressive as well especially if you opt for the Solar Red or Diamond Black variant....

A case with a twist “Robbery ft. Redmi Note 8 Pro” is a minute-long ad that starts in a place called CIB headquarters (!) where an officer is trying to find the culprit behind a robbery at a bank. In the setting, there is a witness who seems distracted while playing games on his Redmi Note 8 Pro. The officer introduces the witness to the bank manager, who does not too impressed and says, “I hope you are not wasting my time, officer”, questioning the attentiveness of the witness....

1. Open New Tab, Reload, or Close Current Tab One of the coolest tricks with Chrome is the ability to open a new tab, reload a tab, and close the current tab, all with the help of a single gesture. With a tab open, swipe down from the top and to the ‘+’ icon (on the left) to open a new tab, to the reload icon (in the middle) to reload the tab, and to the ‘x’ icon (on the right) to close the current tab....

That is until now. Some brilliant minds over at Omote 3D have developed the world’s first 3D photographic technique that can create actual three dimensional figurines of people. Think of them like tiny action figures of yourself that you can hang on your wall. How neat is that? What technology do they use? In order to create these 100% accurate figurines, down to the tiniest detail and color, they scan every inch on your body with laser scanners and compile the images inside a computer to create an accurate replica of the subject....

The Pixelbook can be better defined as Google’s first real attempt at a mainstream laptop. It comes with a 12.3-inch QHD display and Intel Core i5/i7 processors. Apart from that, the premium convertible features up to 512GB SSD storage and a USB Type C port for charging. You can, in fact, use the Pixel’s charging cable for recharging the Google Pixelbook. It may not be the Microsoft Surface Book killer, but it has everything in its to attract premium consumers....

But before that, we should take a quick trip down memory lane: the first version of Winamp was released on the 21st of April 1997 by Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev of Nullsoft, which was later taken over by AOL. The player increased in popularity with the following updates, and many third party developers started creating plug-ins and skins to increase the player’s customization features. However, after the release of the next versions, Winamp’s popularity has decreased more and more....

In terms of design, it features the same design language as the iPad 7th-generation, which makes the two pretty much indistinguishable. Towards the front, the device has a 10.2-inch Retina display with a 2160×1620 screen resolution and 500 nits of brightness.

First things first, Apple has announced that all the devices that supported iOS 11 will support iOS 12 and this will mean a lot to folks who are holding on to older devices. This also means that Apple is focussing on improving the performance of older devices. Apps on the iOS 12 launch 40-percent faster and the keyboard pops up 50-percent faster. With the iOS 12 opening, the camera is a whole 70 percent faster on older devices....

In spite of what their weights and dimensions might suggest, the Asus ZenBooks don’t comprise as far as the hardware and gimmicks are concerned. For starters, they feature an ErgoLift hinge which, when you open the lid, lifts up the rear of the keyboard by a few degrees and lowers the display a bit for a more ergonomic typing posture. In addition, the glass trackpad on the 14-inch and 15-inch models has an inbuilt LED Number Pad for when you need it....

Asus 6Z Review: Design and Build The Asus 6Z has a typical glass sandwich design with a metallic frame and while there are no fancy gradient color-shifts that we are seeing of late even on mid-range smartphones, the 6Z looks premium and feels comfortable to hold in hand, albeit slightly hefty. What contributes to the heft is the huge 5000mAh battery, something that no manufacturer has provided in a flagship smartphone to date....

Let’s get the numbers out of the way first. The 6GB variant of the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 sports a 16MP rear shooter with an f/2.0 aperture along with a 5MP secondary lens for depth sensing. The front facing camera has been upgraded as well and now carries a resolution of 16MP with the same f/2.0 aperture. Just for the record, the Max Pro M1 uses the default Snapdragon Camera app which is very basic in nature and does not come with a lot of intuitive features....
