Earlier: It came. It unfolded. It unfolded badly. It was criticized. It went back. It disappeared. It came back. It unfolded. It sold a million units. That’s the story of the Samsung Galaxy Fold. The device which many had predicted would kick start a foldable revolution got off to the worst start possible when it was first launched earlier this year. Reviewer after reviewer ripped into the device – some did so literally, peeling off the display itself by mistake because it seemed so flimsy....

OnePlus minus the usual design However, the OnePlus 10R 5G throws all of this recent design history right out of the window. So much so that at first glance, it will not even strike people as a OnePlus. It has straight sides and a flat back, instead of curved ones. Its back is dual-textured and actually has lines flowing on it from the camera unit – the first time we have seen any sort of design element on the back of a ‘regular’ OnePlus other than the camera unit and the logo....

Recently, the Chinese company has somewhat finally confirmed that there will be two variants of the rumored Oppo Find 7 – after having posted two different teaser images to social media accounts, saying that there will be a Oppo Find 7 variant with a Quad-HD and another with a full-HD display. The launch of the two devices is said to happen on March 19. Pictures of one of these versions, along with some specs, have recently showed up at the Red Dot Design award website....

Bleep doesn’t require any personal information — email address, or phone number — at the time of registration. You can still feed those data, if you want, and it will be used to notify you when your friends have joined the chatting app. But typically, all you’re supposed to do is pick a nickname. The company is touting Bleep’s P2P network reliance that makes it possible for it to function without storing the files on cloud....

Apple Watch-esque? Right from when you pick up the watch, there’s no denying that there’s an uncanny resemblance to the Apple Watch. And that’s actually saying something about how well the smartwatch is designed. Instead of plastic that one would expect at this price point, the PlayFit uses a stainless-steel casing which feels premium when worn. The buttons on the sides are also metallic. The premium elements don’t just end here....

Aside from the Bing problem, the default search window also lacks advanced search features. If you’re someone who works mostly on their keyboard and relies on CLI, you can relate to this problem. In which case, naturally, your obvious move here would be to opt for some other launchers that offer flexibility and functionality to open items or execute commands more efficiently. If you find yourself in the same boat, Microsoft has its PowerToys Run as an answer to your problem....

The new Snapdragon 710, first and foremost, is all about making it easier for phone makers to add AI-powered features on their phones. The chip comes with a dedicated AI engine which can render machine learning processes at twice the rate as the Snapdragon 660. Therefore, abilities such as depth-of-field effects, scene detection should theoretically function faster on phones with Snapdragon 710. Another key highlight of the Snapdragon 710 is battery life....

Let us find out in our review of the Realme 9i 5G....

Looks and design This is one of the most lopsided rounds in the contest. No, it is not as if the Redmi Note 6 Pro is ugly or an eyesore, but it largely follows the design footsteps of its predecessor, with a metal body. The Zenfone Max Pro M2 does nothing of the sort, swapping the metal of its predecessor with some very classy glass, a much better-designed camera unit (putting the cameras against a white background is clever) and even slapping Gorilla Glass 6 on its display....

Starting with the design and display, like we already mentioned, the Redmi Smart TV X-series comes in three models: Redmi Smart TV X65, Redmi Smart TV X55, and Redmi Smart TV X50. Except for the screen size, which is pretty evident by their names, all three models share the same specifications (hardware and software). All three Redmi Smart TVs offer 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution and include support for HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision....

The Galaxy Note series is one that meant success for Samsung right from the beginning, when the first Note broke sales records and properly introduced the concept of enlarged smartphones in the market. Now, several years apart, Samsung has finally unveiled the third generation device and by the looks of it, we dare to say it will be another successful release. As we speak, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is being welcomed in the scene by IFA’s Berlin audience and Samsung’s own CEO, JK SHIN....

The Exynos 2100 is based on a 5nm extreme ultra-violet (EUV) process node. It is the company’s first flagship 5G-integrated processor promising to deliver a maximum downlink speed of up to 5.1Gbps in sub-6GHz and 7.35Gbps in mmWave. Talking about the computation and graphics processing capabilities, Samsung claims to have improved and refined the performance in both categories on its newest chipset. And, the company suggests that having fabricated the SoC on a 5nm EUV node makes it 20% less power-hungry and 10% more powerful in terms of performance when compared to its 7nm predecessor....

To counter this, although there are a handful of different alternatives to VPNs, most of the time you either run into certain problems/or have to make some compromises in exchange for the service on a majority of them. However, one service that aims to make accessing geo-restricted content easier, without having to compromise on other aspects, that too at a relatively lower price, is Smart DNS Proxy. But what exactly is Smart DNS Proxy, how is it different from a VPN, and why should one consider it over VPNs to unblock geo-restricted content?...

Till now, smartphone cameras were able to capture images in portrait mode, but the processing prowess of the chipsets wasn’t simply enough to capture and process videos with depth sensing. During one of the sessions with Indian journalists last month, Google’s Marc Levoy, who heads the Computational photography team for Pixel phones, had explained why it’s not possible to do live depth sensing for an elongated duration which is required to have portrait mode effect on videos....

But, Who will win the “Tablet War” ? Apple is over confident; or is it the fans who believe in Apple blindly? Compatibility is an un-known word in Apple’s dictionary. You cannot have replacements for software, file manager, browser plugins, non-approved software – nothing. And can you go with non-expandable storage with your device? With Apple you have to! Don’t you feel controlled or limited? Sure, at-least I do feel claustrophobic....
