Design and Display Of the two smartphones, the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro, the OnePlus 7 Pro gets a radical design change, with a higher screen-to-body ratio, bigger display, no notch, and almost zero head and chin on the top and the bottom. On the back, it has a similar glass design found on the previous generation of OnePlus devices. However, it is the front of the device, where things begin to get interesting....

At Rs 4,999, the Nord Watch makes a solid case for itself with its stylish design, vibrant and responsive display, good battery life, and a few smarts that add to its functionality. That said, the Nord Watch loses out on a few fronts, like the always-on display and built-in GPS that one of its strongest competitors—the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini New Version — priced a little higher at Rs 5,999 packs, which makes Amazfit’s offering equally compelling....

Oppo Find X2 and Find X2 Pro: Design and Display Oppo is taking a different approach altogether with the all-new Find X2 and X2 Pro.

While the Find X2 comes with a Glass and Ceramic back, the X2 Pro offers Ceramic and Vegan Leather finish....

But thankfully, despite the slow innovation in providing a significant improvement in battery technology, there are companies that are trying to stretch a phone’s battery life. Just earlier this month, we saw Gionee launch the Marathon M5 which comes with a 6,020 mAh battery, a feat it achieved by coupling two cells together. But we now have a company that wants to take this to a whole new level. Oukitel, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer you’ve likely never heard of is catching our attention today for its bold announcement....

The repair experts from iFixit have made some new discoveries and also confirmed some rumors and assumptions that users were making. The purpose of all the teardowns performed by iFixit is actually to provide a repairability score, but just like it was with the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c, the process of disassembling the PS4 is bound to bring up some surprises. Let’s have a look at what’s inside the PlayStation 4....

Most of these desktop image editors and online image editors fail miserably when it comes to PNG image resizing, especially when retaining Transparency. They always remove the transparent background and replace it with a colored one. Latest version of Irfan View does show an option to resize PNG images AND retain transparency, but I never figured out how to use it successfully. Using Adobe Photoshop solves the issue, since it has an inbuilt plugin to resize PNG image cleanly....

The Realme 3 Pro comes with a 6.3-inch FHD+ display with a 90.8% screen-to-body ratio and 2340×1080 pixel screen resolution along with a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top. It is powered by a 10nm-based 2.2GHz Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 AIE processor with Adreno GPU 616, paired with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage (expandable up to 256GB using a microSD card). Other highlighting specifications include Bluetooth 5....

That is because the Realme 3 Pro sticks to the Realme formula of combining distinct design and good hardware with a pretty compelling price tag. With good reason! I mean, why abandon a formula that has got you in the top five smartphone players in a market as big as India. So, the Realme 5 Pro gets off the ground at a price of Rs 13,999 – right in the middle of the highly competitive mid-segment of the Indian smartphone market....

Not Pro, but looks like it…GOOD! The Redmi K20 and the Redmi K20 Pro are two different devices but you actually cannot tell them apart. They are identical when it comes to design, which honestly is a great thing because both the phones look phenomenal. The two are actually amongst the best phones we have seen from Xiaomi in terms of design. You know how there are some phones with great fronts but just average backs or vice-versa?...

Cutting a few corners…but neatly Of course, the lower price of Rs 49,999 has meant a few compromises as compared to the S20 proper. But Samsung has managed them with some skill. The most obvious one that will strike many is in terms of design — the FE comes with a plastic or carbonate back instead of a glass one. That said, it is smoothly textured — almost velvet-like — and will not pick up smudges or scratches easily (no case in the box, none needed)....

Ain’t no Android flagship that looks like this What makes the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra special and supreme in the Android zone is the fact that it is perhaps the most radically different phone out there. In an Android flagship world that is known for its predictability and adherence to broad spec and feature templates, the S22 Ultra is rather different. It throws curves in many directions. The most obvious, of course, is the S Pen stylus which comes tucked away in the left part of the base of the phone and can be taken out or placed back with a push, thanks to a spring mechanism....

Samsung’s track record with the Galaxy series is pretty impressive, having sold over 200 million devices worldwide, and if the trend keeps it, the Galaxy S5 will have lots of sales. The design of the device is somewhat similar to the old Galaxy S2, having a more “blocky” design than the Samsung Galaxy S4. The look of the device is also influenced by its colour, and in this case, the Galaxy S5 will be available in charcoal Black, shimmery White, electric Blue and copper Gold....

The primary camera is a Sony IMX333 image sensor, which comes in at 12MP, 26mm lens with f/1.7 aperture setting and 1.4um pixel size. It also has stabilization on the hardware and the software front with dual-pixel autofocus we saw on the S7, that makes it possible for super quick focus. The camera app is much simplified now and the launch time is quick too. Swipe to the right and you will see a list of options that include the Pro Mode, Panorama, Selective Focus, Slow Motion, Hyperlapse, Food, Virtual Shot, Video Collage, and Live Broadcast....

Over the past few quarters, Samsung’s handset market shares have been tumbling in multiple markets, and two reports suggest that the inevitable has happened. Micromax and Xiaomi, both being local players, have managed to topple Samsung in past quarter’s market share. In India Micromax now accounts for 16.6% of all the handsets that were shipped in India, followed by Samsung whose share slipped to 14.4% according to market research form Counterpoint Research....
