Specs and benchmarks are handy, but it is functionality that counts. Responding to criticism of Google’s Tensor chip for its poor benchmarking scores, Gupta was fairly direct: Want to know how good a phone is? Check them benchmarks Some might find traces of irony in that statement, for benchmarks and tech specs really came into the smartphone review and analysis picture with the arrival of Android. Before that, in the age of Nokia and BlackBerry, it was rare to know the name and speed of the processor and RAM in a device, let alone benchmark scores of processors....

That’s why Google has made available for download a free Chrome extension which protects your Google and Google Apps for Work accounts. So, by installing this Chrome extension, whenever you will enter your Gmail or Google for Work password into anywhere other than accounts.google.com, then you’ll receive an alert or you will be able to change your password if needed.

Of course, all is not perfect with them. Nothing is perfect, right? The problem with planar headphones is that they are heavy, bulky, and right now, rather expensive. And not too many brands make them – Audeze and HifiMan are the most prominent (although Oppo does make them too). It is almost impossible to get a pair under Rs 15,000. This is why we are rather delighted to see a pair of surprisingly and relatively new planar headphones for as little as Rs 11,999....

To give you some background, JioMart is an e-commerce platform that allows users to order groceries online. It promises to offer over a catalog of over 50,000 products, with free home delivery and no minimum order limit. The service will be available via an app for both Android and iOS and is expected to come out soon. Once available, it will allow customers to order products and get them home delivered....

Even though these complex passwords help prevent unauthorized access to your network, they are not easy to remember and share. As a result, when you have people over at your place requesting access to your Wi-Fi, it can sometimes get tricky to spell out your password, especially if it is an alphanumeric jumble with upper and lower case letters. However, if you use an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch, you get a pretty straightforward method of sharing your Wi-Fi password on iOS and iPadOS....

Got a meeting coming up at the office? Or a presentation at school? Or even a role in a play? Remembering key bullet points or a script can be a task. A teleprompter – that handy display on which text scrolls, reminding you of what to say (think “cue cards”!) – can be such a blessing in such a situation. Well, so can your iPad. Because you can use your iPad as a teleprompter!...

Recently, leaks emerged on the web regarding the Huawei’s upcoming smartwatch. Now, it seems that the leak was pointing to the Huawei Fit, but it’s more of a fitness tracker. Unlike what most were expecting, the Huawei Fit doesn’t run on Android Wear. The looks-wise, it sports a circular 1.04 inch (208x208p) LCD display. Essentially, the Fit looks eerily similar to the Pebble Time Round. The Huawei Fit comes with IP68 certification for water and dust resistance....

Much like the newer MacBook Pros, Apple has ditched the older ports for two USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3 ports. It even comes with Touch ID.

This time around, the series starts at $699 for the entry-level iPhone 12 mini and goes all the way up to $1399 for the maxed-out iPhone 12 Pro Max.

You can either buy the all-new iPhone 12 for $799 or the iPhone 12 mini for $699 (Add $30 more for unlocked phones)....

Those words flashed right through my mind as details of Apple’s second quarter results began to come in. Especially when Apple CEO Tim Cook said: “Customers chose iPhone X more than any other iPhone each week in the March quarter, just as they did following its launch in the December quarter…” The iPhone X also outsold other models in the quarter. You know, this was SO not supposed to happen....

S be for “Soooo like the iPhone X” No matter how you look at it, the iPhone XS is pretty much a carbon copy of the iPhone X – which is not a bad thing, considering how premium the X looked. Still, they are so similar that if both are kept on a table, you might not be able to tell which is which by just looking at them, unless the iPhone XS came in the new gold color that is exclusive to the new iPhones (take a look at our first impressions here)....

To understand the ‘why’ of this argument, we will have to revisit the MacBook Air. The principal reason behind the lineup’s soaring popularity was simple. It absolutely nailed the kind of notebook customers at that time demanded. A thin and light machine that didn’t look like it’s designed to do “math” and was powerful as well as long-lasting enough to handle everyday tasks. Apple, however, grew way too comfortable with that equation and refused to let it go....

He has recently tweeted the following: Mega will soon release a fully encrypted and browser based video call & chat service including high-speed file transfers. Bye bye Skype :-) Later on, he added: No US based online service provider can be trusted with your data. Skype has no choice. They must provide the US Government with backdoors. Kim Dotcom also said that he will reveal more details about beta invites in the coming weeks, which hints at the fact that the service could get launched initially for a select number of users....

With this move, Lenovo is looking to complete its portfolio, so that it too has a phone with 4GB of RAM. Besides this standout feature, the device also gets a powerful 4000mAh battery which could appeal to many consumers looking to get a more prolonged use from their device. The smartphone will be available from April 30 in China only, starting from $288 (Rs. 18,364) for the 2GB variant and $377 (Rs 23,999) for the 4GB version....

Up front, the Meizu M5 packs a 5.2-inch FHD display with a 2.5 Curved Glass on top. The latest budget smartphone sports the characteristic Meizu design with a polycarbonate shell to the back, that curves gently towards the edges. Just like recent generation Meizu smartphones, the M5 doesn’t come with any antenna lines on the rear. The front, however, features an mTouch 2.1 fingerprint sensor that’s integrated with the rectangular home button....
