Microsoft has just unveiled the Xbox One, its next-generation console, joining the fight against the already announced Play Station 4, about which we don’t know all the details yet. What we have been shown at Redmond is a completely redesigned Xbox that looks just like a big rectangular gadget. The controller is somewhat similar to the previous version but comes with a rather elegant design. Xbox One has been shown as a horizontal box, so we’re not sure if it will “stand” in a vertical position as the previous version....

Xiaomi Mi 10: Design and Display Talking about design first, the Mi 10 comes with an all-glass body with a curved panel on the back, with a quad-camera array in a vertical arrangement. Towards the front, it has a 6.67-inch OLED curved panel with a punch-hole cutout on the top-left for the front-facing camera. The display offers a 90Hz refresh rate, and it comes with HDR10+ and DCI-P3 color gamut support, along with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top....

The Mi 4K TV box was allegedly spotted by a customer at a Walmart store in the US for a price of $69 (Rs 4,600 approx.) This clearly indicates that we are all set for an official launch from Xiaomi in a few days. Earlier, we had reported that the Xiaomi Mi 4K TV Box has cleared F.C.C certification thereby inching closer to an US launch. The 4K TV box which is exceedingly popular in China currently retails for $75 with worldwide shipping via third party resellers based in China....

Over the past two weeks, the new Mi earphones have stayed inside my ungodly ears (without falling out) nearly every minute of the day whether I’m jogging at 7 in the morning or writing articles or eating lunch or sitting idly in a cab for hours because #BangaloreTrafficSucks. I’m wearing them right now. And it’s not like I don’t have choices. I have a myriad of earphones and headphones in my backpack, most of which are more expensive and capable (on paper) than the Mi earphones....

Xiaomi Mi Note 10: Design and Display Xiaomi Mi Note 10: Design and Display The Mi Note 10 features a 3D curved glass on the front and the back with rounded corners and tapered edges to give an ergonomic feel in the hand. Towards the front, it flaunts a 6.47-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display that extends all the way to the edges, with a 2340 × 1080 pixels screen resolution, a notch to house the front-facing camera, blue light filter, and an optical in-display fingerprint scanner....

The Redmi 3S has a metal body and comes equipped with a 5-inch HD display and is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 430 SoC clocked at 1.1GHz and paired with a 2GB/3GB RAM. The graphics are handled by an Adreno 505 GPU. On the memory front, the Redmi 3S offers either 16GB/32GB Storage depending on the variant. However, the Hybrid microSD card slot common to both the variants can accommodate up to 128GB....

In terms of design, the new Redmi 5 phones flaunt rounded corners and abandon off-screen capacitive buttons to accommodate the new near bezel-less screens. Otherwise, they largely resemble previous Xiaomi phones and feature an aluminum build. Speaking of screens, the smaller Redmi 5 comes with a 5.7-inch HD+ panel, while the Redmi 5 Plus comes with a larger Full HD+ display. Both of them are LCD and carry an aspect ratio of 18:9....

The Bluetooth Headset Air resembles the Apple AirPods in a lot of ways, right from its appearance to functions. The exterior housing is white in color (a black version is also available unlike the AirPods) with interchangeable earbuds of various sizes since this one is an in-ear type earphone, unlike the AirPods. What’s exactly like the AirPods though is the ability to control your music playback using touch controls on the earbuds themselves....

The Redmi Note 2 Prime is fitted with a 5.5-inch FHD display and is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Helio X10 paired with a 2GB of RAM. The internal memory will be bumped up from 8GB to 32GB along with a microSD card slot that can accommodate another 32GB.

The Axon 7 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 along with Adreno 530 GPU and either 4GB of RAM with 64GB internal storage or a massive 6GB of RAM with 128GB of onboard storage both of which are surprisingly expandable via a MicroSD card. However, the latter also gets the advantage of having a pressure-sensitive (cough 3D touch cough) display. On the front, there’s a 5.5-inch Quad HD AMOLED panel resulting in an impressive pixel density of 538 ppi and is covered by a 2....

The ad itself: What should a smartphone do then, kids? “Airtel, the smartphone network” ad is a one-minute ad that features only kids. That’s right, and unlike the Flipkart ads of the past, these kids are just kids and not wannabe adults. In the beginning, a question pops up, asking the kids, “what should a smartphone be able to do?” Different pairs of kids answer the question differently. One of them says the phone should have enough high speed to help him fly in the sky like a rocket, the other one says the phone should have a bodyguard so that if anyone teases a girl, he should be able to save her, while yet another one says that the phone should have a magic man inside to make all her problems go away....

A minute full of laughter “Inside Joke” is a minute long ad that features a middle-aged woman sitting and using an iPhone XR. An iMessage tone rings, indicating that she has received a text. As she reads it, she starts laughing. Then she gets another message and starts laughing harder. Just when she gets a grip on herself, she receives a series of messages on her iPhone and starts laughing hysterically....

LG announced today their new flagship device: the G2. The device brings to the table a new design and some awesome hardware to back it up. The successor to the Optimus G, which was a very powerful device, has some true high end features and specs, worthy of going against the very best smartphones out there. The tagline for the LG G2 is that “it is learning from you”, which means that LG is trying to make the device more user friendly by modifying the default look of all smartphones and moving buttons around to allow users to handle the device more easily....

The Jelly comes with an ultra-small 2.4-inch display with a resolution of 240 x 432px. As you can already imagine, the smartphone would appear rather puny when placed side by side with the Samsung Galaxy S8+. It will surely remind users of those feature phones days where phones came with such small panels. Needless to say that the Jelly would be the smallest 4G enabled smartphone when launched commercially in the coming few months....

Although the company previously announced that Windows 10 will be its final release and that it’ll switch to a bi-annual update cycle moving forward to deliver experience-improvement features to its users, it now appears to have changed its mind midcourse. And with Windows 11, which mainly comprises subtle visual tweaks and a few nifty features thrown in here and there, it’s reverting to the annual update cycle to make it easier for its users to keep up with the changes....

And then it returned in the latter half of 2017, in an avatar that seemed to hark back to its roots. Once again the stress seemed to be on design – albeit a more flashy one, although still compact as compared to the competition – and while the customization option had disappeared, the stress on simplicity and speed rather than specs seemed to be back. It was not super affordable in the way of a Redmi Note 4 but at its starting price of Rs 20,999, it was the second most affordable Moto X ever released in the Indian market (after the X Play, which was a stripped down version of the X Style)....
