The announcement comes from the Xiaomi Vice President and Xiaomi India Managing Director, Manu Kumar Jain, who tweeted saying, “What started as a sub-brand in POCO has grown into its own identity in a short span of time. POCO F1 is an extremely popular phone across user groups and remains a top contender in its category even in 2020. We feel the time is right to let POCO operate on its own now, which is why we’re excited to announce that POCO will spin-off as an independent brand....

Just like MagMyPic, WriteOnIt is a simple online service that lets you caption and create Fake Magazine Covers with your own pic on it. Just upload your photo and choose a caption, your fake magazine cover will be ready! It can also insert your uploaded image onto coffee mugs, billboards, art easels, and fake mirrors within ready-made photos. This is not a revolutionary service as such. There have been many such services even before which have been reviewed on Technically Personal!...

A French security company VUPEN , was the first one to bag a Mac, as they cracked a 64-bit Safari which performed a disk read-write operation even though it was sandboxed, within 5 secs of visiting the exploit website. This hack was not due to Webkit, the rendering engine in both Safari and Chrome. The details of the hack won’t be available till the Apple is able to release a patch which fixes this security hole....

Realme X50 Pro: Design and Display In terms of design, the Realme X50 Pro features an all-glass design with a low-key and less saturated colorway. Realme says the low-saturation color scheme helps the device retain its high-end texture look, and gives it a more appealing look. The X50 Pro comes in two color options: Moss Green and Rust Red, which the company suggests to have been inspired by an unknown matter in outer space....

The Redmi 1S comes with an impressive 8 MegaPixel shooter on the rear with auto-focus and ƒ/2.2 aperture, 28mm wide-angle lens, and 1080p video recording. It comes with an extra-large 1.4ųm sensor and a 5 plastic lens, completely unheard of in smartphones at this price segment. These are some impressive specs on paper, but how well does it perform in real life? We find out. Let me start by saying that the camera on Redmi 1S is a winner....

Redmi Note 9 Pro: “So there you are! Have you any idea how long I have been waiting?” Redmi Note 9 Pro Max: “Hey, I am sorry…” 9 Pro: “I mean, come on, we came into this market together and you choose to turn up – wait for it – ALMOST TWO MONTHS late!?” 9 Pro Max: “Hey, gimme a break, bro. There is a pandemic. A lockdown. I was stuck in the warehouse....

Google’s (fourth) answer to Zuckerberg’s Facebook After Facebook spread its wings and started flying in a newly hyped social media zone, Google decided to craft and release one of its own birds in the Internet air. After three social networking attempts that did not quite take off (Google Buzz, Google Friend Connect and Orkut, which actually was a rage for a while), the company started working on Google+ (pronounced as Google Plus) and released it to take Facebook head on in 2011....

For, while the second entry in Samsung’s F series ticks a lot of the usual design and hardware boxes (read our first impressions to find out more), what actually gives the Samsung Galaxy F62 a clear edge over most of the competition is its Exynos 9825 processor. Now, this was the same processor that was used in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 in late 2019 and did not exactly get rave reviews, mainly because many claimed its battery performance was nowhere near the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, which was the chip used in the US edition of the device....

In terms of design, the Galaxy M40 features a sleek design language with a premium dual tone finish that comes in Midnight Blue and Seawater Blue colors. It has a 6.3-inch full-HD+ Infinity-O Display with a screen resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels, up to 480 nits of brightness, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top. At its core, the smartphone is powered by a 10nm octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor with Adreno 612 GPU, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage (expandable up to 512GB with a microSD card)....

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Design and Display Going by the name, one would assume that the S10 Lite follows the same design language as the S10. However, that’s not the case with the S10 Lite, as it rather takes a much different design approach and comes with a glossy plastic panel at the back with a rectangular camera module for the rear cameras. Towards the front, it includes minimal bezels all around and features a 6....

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ Design The new Samsung flagships come with a rather familiar design on the front but the back is where it differs slightly. Samsung seems to have pushed the camera lens unit along with the fingerprint scanner downwards. Perhaps this was a move to solve the reachability issues of the fingerprint sensor on its predecessor as it was placed on the right side of the camera and also to accommodate the extra camera lens that comes with the dual camera unit....

At their special event in London, today, Samsung has announced the Ativ Q tablet that comes with two operating systems: Windows 8 and Android. Apparently, consumers all over the world are not satisfied only with ATIV Smart PC that comes Windows 8 and they need also Android to go along with it. It’s an interesting move from Samsung, but I’m really curious who is that informed as to buy a device that comes with Windows 8 and Android (4....

So when we had the Galaxy Note 8 and the iPhone 8, to shoot was but natural. We got some great shots. But one picture, in particular, made our eyes pop. Now, do not get your hopes high – this is not THE iPhone 8 vs. Galaxy Note 8 Camera shootout. This is not really the ultimate judge of which camera is better amongst the two. But what a picture it is....

With iOS 12 released, and the Shortcuts app available for download on the App Store, here’s everything you need to know about the new app. What is ‘Shortcuts’ and how to use it? Similar to the Workflow app that allowed users to create ‘workflows’ by stitching together different actions, the Shortcuts app is the same for the most part. Except, the ‘workflows’ are now called ‘shortcuts’, and come with an added support for low-level functionality to get better control over automation in addition to integrated-Siri, which allows the shortcuts to be triggered using Siri....

1. Unlimited High-Resolution Photo/Video Storage Yes, if you purchase either the Pixel or Pixel XL, you can get lifetime high-resolution Google Photos storage. Hence, you can get all your 4K videos and full-resolution photos on the cloud and access them anywhere with no limitations at all. Now, it is currently uncertain whether this will also unlock your account allowing uploading on other configured phones too, but we’d doubt that. BTW, did you see Google’s subtle dig at Apple on this?...

There are countless solutions that the modern world puts at your disposal for taking notes, and today we want to talk about one that’s very ingenious – Speechnotes. If you have already opened the website, then you will soon understand how to use it. It works right inside your browser and, well, just as the name suggests it, lets you take voice notes by speaking directly into the microphone. I’ve been playing around with it for the past half hour and I can say that I quite enjoy its functionality....

For the uninitiated, a VPN or Virtual Private Network is a service that allows you to access the internet as if you were connected to a private network – meaning – it will enable you to access the internet securely and anonymously. Furthermore, besides securing and offering anonymity over the internet, a VPN also helps you bypass region-specific content on the internet. So you can enjoy your favorite content (unavailable in your region) back at your home....

The move comes from Google after the annual ASER 2018 report that stated that ‘of all students enrolled in grade 5 in rural India, only about half of them can confidently read a grade 2 level textbook‘. A possible reason for this could be the lack of proper study material and resources available to these children. And this is where the Bolo app could come into the picture and help these children learn and read better....
