The three chipsets, namely Snapdragon 460, 662 and 720G have better 4G connectivity, Wi-Fi 6 support with WPA3 encryption, and even better navigation and geo-location services thanks to NavIC support, which is India’s homegrown GPS satellite system. They even sport dedicated AI Engines along with the Qualcomm Sensing Hub. Let’s take a closer look at all three chipsets and see where they slot in. Snapdragon 460 The Snapdragon 460 is an upgrade to the Snapdragon 450 mobile platform that powered entry-level budget smartphones in 2018 and 2019....

What’s the need for Snapdragon XR1? Qualcomm says that it sees two different emerging markets from AR/VR, one being the more premium segment where people are willing to shell out a good amount of money in order to experience these headsets (which Qualcomm is calling the “premium-quality sector”), and the second, a more budget-friendly audience, but with the expectations of encountering a similar experience as compared to the more premium headsets (which Qualcomm is calling the “high-quality sector”)....

To enable that, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 comes with the Hexagon 685 DSP which can be found on the company’s flagship chipsets including the Snapdragon 845. Its always-on and always-sensing nature essentially allows phones to react quicker to machine learning queries. That also means phones with the Snapdragon 670 can have always-listening virtual assistant features too. Compared to the Snapdragon 660, Qualcomm says the addition of the Hexagon 685 has led to an uplift in AI performance of nearly 1....

“You gotta be kidding. It is called the Realme 6 Pro…” “Yes, yes, but that is actually just nomenclature. This is actually the successor to the Realme X.” “What! Wait, but wasn’t that the Realme XT?” “No, that was just an extended version…” “Oh and what of the Realme X2 Pro?” “A budget flagship, my dear chap.” “And the Realme X2?” “Oh come on, look, Realme insists this is the sequel to the Realme X....

We are talking, of course, of Redmi (Xiaomi’s brand) and Realme. For most people, Redmi vs Realme is THE tech rivalry in the country. Rarely a day goes without some debate on the Web or social networks about which brand is doing better and how each is pushing the other back in one department or the other. The truth, however, seems to be that while both brands are doing well, neither is actually hurting the other too much....

Offline presence was something that been bothering Xiaomi for quite some time and in a market like India where major sales happen through retail stores, the Chinese firm has no other option than to reframe their marketing strategy. Well, it isn’t just about India though as the Lei Jun run company has been an eyeing an offline market share in its homeland too. Rather, Xiaomi has grand plans of opening around 200 offline shops in China in due time....

Redmi 9 Prime: Design and Display In terms of design, the Redmi 9 comes with a plastic finish back with a 3D unibody design that claims to offer better grip and protection against fingerprint smudges. Xiaomi calls it the Aura 360 design, and it features a circular ring (wit concentric circles) around the rear camera array. It has a quad-camera array on the back, arranged vertically, with a fingerprint scanner right below the camera module....

The launch was imminent as Reliance was conducting its 4G field trial since November 2010 on its campus, further the company had said that it will be launching trials in July last year and this phase would be extended from the end of 2014 to early 2015. Airtel and Vodafone had long anticipated this move from Reliance and hence they had started investing additional funds to strengthen the infrastructure and increase its coverage....

Leather love! Like Samsung, LG too has made a material change when it comes to design – literally. Mind you, the change is not as dramatic as the from-plastic-to-metal-and-glass-and-go-over-the-edge journey that its famous rival has made. In fact, the change is not apparent at first glance – from the front, the G4 looks like pretty much a routine large display Android, although with the base and top curving out gently rather than being straight-lined as in some devices....

Unlike before, the Exynos 9610 is now rumored to be a 10nm chipset. Furthermore, the Exynos 9610 will feature an octa-core processor consisting of four Cortex-A73 and four Cortex A53. The cores will be clocked up to 2.4GHz, and the GPU details have now been updated to Mali-G71 as opposed to the G72. The Exynos 9610 is most likely to be used in the mid-range Samsung devices and perhaps that’s one of the reasons why the company has not opted for Mongoose cores....

The Samsung Galaxy S8+ was initially launched with only 4GB RAM on board, and that had greatly disheartened many Galaxy fans worldwide. With a budget flagship like OnePlus 3T packing 6GB RAM, most of us were expecting something similar in the Galaxy S8+. Samsung, however, was quick to respond to the grievances of its consumers and launched a top end variant of their flagship with 6GB RAM. Sadly, the variant was limited only to China and South Korea till now....

While the Flip has generally been targeted at those who want a phone with flaunt value (and have fond memories of the flipp-y bird that the Moto RAZR was), the Fold has been seen as the more “serious” foldable of the two. It is more functional than flashy and has a very strong productive side, with its ability to morph from a phone to a tablet and vice versa. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 continues this tradition, following in the footsteps of the very acclaimed Galaxy Z Fold 3....

The webapp is pretty different from both the mobile app and the desktop site when it comes to the UI, and looks to be completely redesigned. Nevertheless, the mobile website seems to be slick and doesn’t need buyers to install the mobile app anymore. Myntra is yet another etailer who made the shift to an app only medium and it seems that Flipkart was more of testing the waters, and it’s now evident that the entire exercise somehow didn’t go well....

Showing your wares off was never as easy as it has been made by Screencasting. A screencast is a movie of your computer screen that is habitually used to demonstrate how specific features of a software are used. Showing people your product will boost its popularity into people’s memory and catch their attention. It is like test driving a car or tasting your favorite sweets before buying them. Here are five tools that will put the spotlight on your product and make screencasting easier –...

David Byttow the man behind Secret has said in a Tweet that Secret V2 is in making and it is “too important not to exist.” At its peak the company was pegged at $100 Million and Secret had already raised $35 million but eventually, it cut its staff into the half before going into a stealth mode and finally shutting down the app completely. Byttow told TechCrunch that it was the recent U....

Monochrome The Huawei P9/P10 might have grabbed all the attention with its monochrome mode featuring a tie-up with Leica, but if you are looking for some serious colorless photography, the Honor 8 Pro can deliver a serious dollop there. And this is because just like the P9, one of the dual cameras on its back is a monochrome one. Yes, it ensures sharper detail when working in combination with the other camera and stunning low light shots, but go to Monochrome mode and all your photography happens through the dedicated monochrome lens, bringing back memories of another day and another era....

While the naming of the Xperia phones can be confusing, the design is ever so identical. The boxy hunk is aiming for more symmetry no matter where you look at it from. As good as this sounds, for a phone with a display size of 5.2-inch, the XZ has a rather big forehead and chin. We compared it to some 5.5-inch phones such as the OnePlus 3 and the Moto Z Play, and the XZ is really as tall as them....

Similar to the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, the Sony Xperia XZ2 comes with the latest processor from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 845 mobile platform The all-new chip makes the Xperia XZ2 the fastest smartphone from Sony’s stable till date.

On the storage front, the Xperia XZs offers 64GB of Internal memory along with a microSD card support up to 256GB. The USP of this device has been its imaging capabilities that are almost at par with the more expensive Xperia XZ Premium....

T-Series, who have uploaded 13,440+ videos on their channel at the time of writing, changed their YouTube cover image to mark this milestone stating that they are the first YouTube channel globally to have surpassed the 100 Million mark.
