Among the trio, the Moto E5 Plus is by far the most powerful and costliest smartphone. The Moto E5 Play, on the other hand, is the cheapest and will be available in North America including the USA in the coming few months. Incidentally, Motorola hasn’t revealed the pricing details of the Moto E5 Play yet. Both the Moto E5 and the Moto E5 Plus come with an 18:9 HD+ IPS LCD display....
Motorola Razr 5G: Design and Display In terms of design, the all-new Razr 5G still has the same clamshell-like design as the previous model that folds into half to offer a compact size and unfolds to provide a larger screen estate. The phone’s body is a sandwich of aluminum and Gorilla Glass 5, and the company says it uses a new hinge design, ‘Zero Gap’, which just as it sounds, ensures there is no gap when the display folds into half....
Despite Qualcomm announcing the updated Wear 3100 SoC, the poor optimization of Wear OS from Google meant that the same old issues plagued watches even with the newer chip. Sluggish UI and barely a day’s worth of battery life just did not make the cut if one had to spend over $300 for a smartwatch. Just as consumers started to lose all hope for an ideal Wear OS smartwatch that could give the Apple Watch a run for its money, Google announced a radical shift in direction for Wear OS at the I/O 2021....
Out of the two new pairs of earphones launched, the first one is a pair of True Wireless Earbuds, similar to the Apple AirPods meaning the two individual buds are not connected to each other through any sort of wire but are standalone units with built-in batteries. According to the company, each earbud weighs in at just 5g making it extremely comfortable to wear even for long periods of time....
In a forum post, OnePlus mentioned that they’ll be releasing the update to the masses in the next quarter. The update is as of now, limited to OnePlus 2, although OnePlus One and X users might also soon receive it. Until then, non-supported handsets will have to use the Jio4GVoice app (previously Jio Join) in order to make high-definition calls over Jio 4G network in India. Their OnePlus 3 flagship phone supports the functionality out-of-the-box though....
A minute of twirling and sliding…and some charging “Charge fast. Your way” is a minute-long ad that begins with a guy entering a very informal office space with a colleague with a OnePlus 8 Pro in his hand. He quickly waves at another colleague and puts his phone down on a wireless charger which shows one percent battery. A tiny blue circle then appears on the top right side of the screen showing battery percentage with Warp written below it....

We are getting a similar vibe from the first smartwatch from the brand, the OnePlus Watch. On paper, it comes packed with potential, but it has a few issues to address. Looks smart, but not very different We had covered the design and specs of the OnePlus Watch in our first cut, and here’s a quick recap: while OnePlus does claim to have put in a lot of effort into the design of the watch, the OnePlus Watch follows a rather familiar format – a 1....
Right, so call us cheesy for that George Lucas-infused intro, but we cannot but dip into our repository of Star Wars when we look at the Rs 10,000-13,000 (USD 140-200) price segment in the Indian phone market. For, that is very much where the action has been over the past few weeks, with LeEco, Huawei and Xiaomi all releasing devices in this price range. And unlike in the past, where these devices played second fiddle to more high-end offerings, this time around, each of these three has been launched as a potential market conqueror, accompanied by high-profile campaigns online as well as offline....

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 ACPC aims to solve one of the major pain points of traditional x86 powered systems, well, the battery life. Most of the modern day laptops and ultrabook fail to deliver an impressive battery performance, with a majority of devices dying within 4-5 hours of constant usage. Qualcomm aims to raise this bar, as its new Snapdragon 850 platform will offer up to 25 hours of battery life on a single charge....
Qualcomm X70 5G Modem with AI – How is it different? We have seen AI implementation on mobile processors for a while, but with the Qualcomm X70 5G, we are witnessing an AI processor dedicated to network management for the very first time. The X70 5G modem uses this section of the modem to mmWave Beam management using AI algorithms developed by Qualcomm. This results in better signal coverage and strength indoors....
Called the Redmi Earbuds S, the earbuds are essentially the same as the Redmi AirDots S, which were launched in China last month, and feature a 7.2mm driver, connect over Bluetooth 5.0, offer IPX4 protection, and promise up to 12 hours of battery life. In terms of design, the Earbuds S follows the same design as the Redmi AirDots S. They come in only one color option: Black, and are IPX4-rated for water resistance....
Whatever happened to Jio Giga Fiber? Not surprisingly, many people expected Jio to make an equally big splash with the launch of Jio Giga Fiber. Jio announced Giga Fiber at its 41st AGM which was held on 5th July 2018. While Jio did announce it with much fanfare, it did not immediately make the service available. People were asked to register their interest in Jio Giga Fiber on the Jio website and that was it....
A Hardware Monster The G3 represents the first time since the release of the Optimus 2X that LG has actually managed to trump the troika of Sony, Samsung and HTC in the hardware department. The Optimus 2X, for those who know not their tech history, was the first smartphone to sport a dual core processor. Well, the G3 is the first flagship Android device from a major player to come with a quad HD display – while the One M8, the Xperia Z2 and the Galaxy S5 had stuck to the full HD displays of 1920 x 1080 resolution, the G3 goes a step further and sports a 2560 x 1440 resolution 5....
In terms of design, the Galaxy A20 features a 6.4-inch, 1560 × 720 pixels HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity-V display on the front. And a fingerprint scanner mounted on the rear of the device. Under the hood, it is powered by an Octa-Core Exynos 7884 chipset, paired with 6GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage (expandable up to 512GB using a microSD card). The A20 runs also includes a 3....

On the memory front, the device offers 8GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot. Camera setup on the Galaxy J1 4G includes a 5-Megapixel primary sensor with LED flash and a 2-Megapixel secondary sensor....
Twinning in design, not in specs Mind you, at first glance, it is very difficult to tell the M10 apart from the M20. We got the ocean blue edition of the device and it broadly follows the same design aesthetic as its more expensive sibling – the display is slightly smaller at 6.22-inches but has the same drop notch (Infinity-v display) with a selfie camera and rather minimal bezels. The back is again glossy plastic with the dual cameras on the top left corner in a vertical capsule....
Flagship killers become flagships…so why not vice versa? The term flagship killer was introduced by OnePlus when it hit the market with devices that were literally out on a mission to sink flagships at that time. These flagship assassins were bundled with high-end specs, good design, and relatively affordable price tags. However, OnePlus over the past year, in particular, seems to have moved from this position. The new OnePlus devices seem to have gone from being flagship killers to just being more like the flagships they were killing a few years ago....
