The Note 4…with a taller display! The design of the Redmi Note 5 is kind of conflicting. The face of the smartphone is where all the major change has happened. It is the aspect of the smartphone which will make you feel you are holding the successor of the Redmi Note 4. With the Redmi Note 5, Xiaomi has stepped in the tall, 18:9, “almost bezel-less” mid segment smartphone community....

Update: Another loophole detected. Windows 8 Promo Code Gaffe Lets Anyone to Upgrade for $14.99 Yes, it does make business sense to rope in as many genuine buyers as possible, but it’s still surprising that Microsoft is willing to sell them the latest OS version at a nominal price of $39.99, a huge discount of $130 over the final retail price. Users in several underground forums are reporting that they were able to upgrade and activate Windows 8 Pro after legally purchasing it for $39....

To begin with, the Z2 Pro features a 5.2-inch Full HD AMOLED panel, Snapdragon 820 chipset along with a whopping 6GB of RAM (I guess that’s a thing now) and 128GB of internal storage. However, there’s also going to be a downgraded 4GB of RAM variant available, details of which are yet to be disclosed. There’s a 13MP ISOCELL rear camera with f/1.8 aperture, 1.34μm pixels, OIS and dual-tone flash....

Here are the highlights of the report: Surprise, surprise: Q3 2020 shipped the most smartphones ever! Whether it was the pent-up demand that built during the early part of the lockdown or the festive mood, we do not know. What we DO know is that a total of 50 million phones were shipped in Q3 2020, which was not only 8 percent more than the 46.2 million during the same period last year, but actually the highest number of smartphones shipped in a single quarter in India....

Slices of special lives Apple has released four ads in the campaign so far, all titled, “Behind the Mac”. Three out of the four ads have a similar storyline and show how Mac notebooks (we use the term “MacBook” and “Mac” here to cover all Mac notebooks in the ad– it is simpler that way) help them in their daily lives, whereas the other ad is a combination of several different slices from the entire campaign (clearly there will be other ads in this line – these are just the first three)....

https://youtu.be/Dw7verGkl5c The ad itself: An Up-graded ad? Titled, “Up-upgrade”, the ad spans 36 seconds. The ad begins with a guy (who looks a lot like the guy in the Samsung Galaxy “Growing Up” ad) walking away with a smirk – hey, remember he had finally grown up from an iPhone to a Galaxy Note 8! He then opens the door of his house, sits on the couch and takes his new phone (which seems like a Galaxy Note 8), and starts watching a video of him and his wife on it....

Apple rocks but…”Steve would not have liked this” However, that reputation has taken a bit of a beating in recent times. Apple is still one of the top tech companies in the world but has been increasingly seen as getting more conventional, following trends more often than setting them. And of course, a lot of people very conveniently lay the “blame” for this at the door of the man who succeeded Jobs, Tim Cook, very conveniently forgetting that this man oversaw Apple becoming the first trillion-dollar company in the world....

Earlier reports also said that MediaTek was initially experiencing troubles with SoC’s Wi-Fi capabilities which were dropping at random intervals. When this was fixed, the chip faced serious overheating issues. The Taiwan-based company was bound to officially comment on this and they did by illustrating how the X20 works in order to avoid those heating issues. The Weibo post that MediaTek made declines all the accusations and claims that the company didn’t face any such problems whatsoever....

We had featured the Bamboo Notepad which was a pressure sensitive notepad with a companion pen, the Bamboo Spark transferred the notes to the cloud. This notepad too came with a few drawbacks including the need to charge and the need to replace the pen, which can be an expensive affair. Rocketbook Wave is a much more simplified yet effective cloud connected Notebook. The most interesting part of the Rocketbook Wave is its simplicity, the notebook comes with a glossy surface and at the bottom it has some symbols stacked up....

Micromax Infinity N12 Review Instead of talking about Processors, RAM, and Megapixels, we are going to talk more about how the experience was in my day to day usage. What others said about the phone, how long the phone lasted and so on. But if you still eager to know, check out the complete specification here. The one we are using is a 3 GB RAM / 32 GB Storage variant....

With a market share of about 9%, Micromax has replaced Oppo as the fourth highest selling phone maker in the third quarter of 2018. However, the India-based OEM is not expected to remain there for a long period. The change of fortunes primarily occurred thanks to Micromax’s win, in collaboration with Reliance Jio, over a tender by the Chattisgarh state government because of which it managed to ship five million smartphones....

So coming back to that world with its IN series of devices – the IN Note 1 and the IN 1B – should be the most natural and comfortable thing to do, shouldn’t it? Well, it might be natural, but comfortable? Perhaps not. This ain’t the same mid-segment, folks And that is because the mid-segment that Micromax so effectively created at its peak has now changed very significantly. In the era of Micromax (2011-2015), this was a segment that was defined by low specced offerings from brands like Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola....

UUP will essentially enable differential downloads for all Windows 10 devices except Xbox consoles. In layman’s terms, the download package will only contain the changes that have been made since the last time you updated your device, instead of the complete build. Microsoft says that this alteration will bring around 35% decrease in updates’ size when going from one major update of Windows to another. Differential patching will be a part of the free Windows 10 Creators Update....

The all new Moto G6 lineup isn’t a major overhaul over its predecessor. It’s more of a modest update with the new phones coming with the latest hardware. With that said, the most highlighting improvement in the Moto G6 is in its display. All three devices namely the Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus and Moto G6 Play come with an 18:9 aspect ratio display panel. Albeit, the Moto G6 Play being the cheapest feature a display with a slightly lower resolution....

I admit it; my email is my life, my second name, my license plate in the online world. My PayPal account is associated with it; all my online jobs point to that email. I thought that setting up a password of 50 characters long would be enough, but I have chosen only words and numbers. That’s how I almost got hacked. Another huge mistake that I made was to be logged in all the time....

Until now, Netflix offered three plans in India: Basic – for Rs 500 per month, Standard – for Rs 650 per month, Premium – for Rs 800 per month. With the Basic plan, Netflix restricts access to HD and Ultra HD content and allows users to view content on only one screen at a time. On the other hand, with the Standard plan, it allows users to enjoy content in HD, on two screens at the same time....

The Snooze button is also expected to discourage people from unfollowing their friends permanently while still letting them control what they see. Most of the brands or business pages start over marketing themselves during an event or an ongoing launch it is in times like this you can temporarily mute them without unfollowing permanently (Something I always do with the annoying WhatsApp groups.) The Snooze option on Facebook was first spotted by TechCrunch in the U....

The financial terms of the deal are yet to be revealed but it is likely that a generous exchange of equity was involved. Nextbit had earlier raised $18 million in funding from Accel, GV, and Dentsu along with another $1.36 million against the Kickstarter orders. In fact, Robin started out as a Kickstarter project and soon rose to fame. Razer will be onboarding 30 of Nextbit’s staff and intends to develop more products with the Nextbit brand as the cornerstone....

As already mentioned, the Noise Shots XO features a metallic finish, and for the most part, builds upon the same design language as its predecessor. They come with a new circular charging case, which also has a metallic finish. When it comes to connectivity, the earbuds connect over Bluetooth 5.0 and feature a USB Type-C port for charging. There is an IPX7 rating for water and dust resistance for the earbuds, along with the added support for Qualcomm aptX audio for high-definition audio....
