As a company, Micromax has had a great run so far, and is the leading home-grown handset vendor in India in terms of market-share. While a lot of factors may have contributed to that success, the most important perhaps, is its large portfolio of offerings that not only boasts some unique features, but is also perceived to be very good value for money. And nothing can highlight this better than the company’s last two major releases, the Canvas 2 A110 and the Canvas HD A116....

Vineet Taneja had joined Micromax in July 2014 and he came with a strong experience in the telecom sector including heading Nokia, Bharti Airtel.

Cyanogen and Micromax Yu have been in news for all the wrong reasons in recent times, surrounding their exclusive deal to provide CyanogenMod based ROM updates in India. OnePlus, which was the first ever company to officially carry CyanogenMod on their One smartphone was forced to suspend sales after Micromax filed an injunction case at Delhi High Court earlier this week. But unlike OnePlus One, Yureka is more of an affordable mid-range device competing with the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note and Asus Zenfone 5....

It will restore the drivers one by one and would take some minutes to complete....

And this is not just hype talking. The Moto G10 Power and Moto G30 actually take on and beat some of the best devices two of the biggest names in the market, Samsung and Realme have to offer, in their price segments. If that sounds hard to believe – and it could, given the status of Realme and Samsung – let us take a look at how the Moto G10 Power and G30 fare against the Realme C25 (Rs 9,999 and Rs 10,999 variants) and the Samsung Galaxy F02s/M02s, which is priced at Rs 9,999 (for 4GB/64GB variant)....

Moto G7 The Moto G7 features a 6.2-inch Max Vision Full-HD+ display with a screen resolution of 2270×1080, Gorilla Glass protection, and a waterdrop notch at the top that Motorola calls a ‘U-design’.

It offers two color options: Smoky Sangria and Thunder Grey. Towards the front, the phone features a 6.7-inch OLED panel, which slightly curves at the edges and blends with the side edge....

To begin with, the new Moto Z2 Play features a 3000 mAh battery that is roughly 15 percent smaller and offers twenty hours less battery life between charges. The good news here is that it’s a lot thinner measuring at 5.9mm thickness and lighter at 145 grams. The other significant upgrade is the presence of a 12-megapixel dual pixel autofocus camera with a f/1.7 lens that the company delivers impressive shots in both bright and low lighting conditions....

The Nokia 6 features an aluminum unibody with a rather thick build measuring at roughly 8mm. There’s a 5.5-inch Full HD panel up front which is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 3.

For many people, Nokia is the cellphone company that provides cheap and reliable phones without having to make compromises in quality. We have seen at the MWC event in Barcelona the 105 and 301 Nokia models, which are also aimed at emerging markets. But be it as it may, I’m sure there are enough folks in developed countries and not only that will think of buying this type of phones as a back-up solution....

If you can’t wait for the app to be officially available on the Play Store and want to download the beta, you should know that if you are using a cache cleaner on your phone it may disable navigation voices. The public release of the application is still undergoing final testing, so you are advised to get it once it exits beta. Let’s have a look at some of the most important features of the app:...

One of the most appreciated features of the Nokia HERE app is the ability to download, for free, large parts of its digital maps for offline use. Google Maps also supports offline maps, but these are usually limited to smaller areas or not available at all. Therefore, Nokia, or to be more precise, what’s left of the company after Microsoft’s buyout, hopes it can impress users with its mobile mapping solution....

Next week, on May 14, Nokia is also holding a pretty important event in London where the company is also expected to make some announcements. Stephen Elop did mention that the Asha 501 was only the beginning of its series, but the Lumia 928 is definitely the flagship; so what is there left for the event – the “middle class” phones? Until then, let’s see what exactly is so great about the Lumia 928....

Aiming to do things differently and make a splash in the Android world, Nothing’s first attempt at a smartphone is a unique offering: one with a unique design on the back – thanks to the LEDs – and equivalent hardware to keep up in the mid-range smartphone category. Aside from its unique design, another aspect that makes the Nothing Phone (1) special is its custom-built chipset under the hood. Nothing claims that the Phone (1) uses a custom-built Snapdragon 778G+ chipset that has been optimized to enable wireless and reverse charging....

So I dallied and played my share of golf games on iOS and Android from the relatively simple Stickman Golf series to the more complex Tiger Woods titles. There have been games that have been minimalistic in the extreme to those whose attention to detail would have got Steve Jobs dancing in delight. Ok Golf, however, is something else altogether. The game has been making waves for the past few days – in spite of coming with a price tag (USD 2....

Olympus’ new Air A01 add-on camera is a smartphone-controlled camera somewhat similar to the Sony QX1, which was launched back in the fall of 2013. The Olympus Air A01 comes with a Micro Four Thirds lens mount with a matching 16-megapixel sensor, and also gets a tripod mount on the bottom for taking pictures remotely. The camera attachment comes in black and white colors and is available for a price of $300....

So let’s take a look at the few things which differentiates the OnePlus 3T from OnePlus 3. Design OnePlus has gone out with the exact same design on the OnePlus 3T as on the OnePlus 3, so much so that the dimensions and weight are same as well. And I don’t blame them at all. The OnePlus 3 was a beautifully designed smartphone, despite carrying HTC’s design ethics, and now the OnePlus 3T carries forward the same with just some changes to the color options....

However, both phones offer top-class specifications on paper and if budget is no bar for you, you’re probably confused about whether to pick up the OnePlus 8 and save some money or go all-in and get the OnePlus 8 Pro.
