Similar fronts, and prismatically different backs And the Galaxy A50s does a daily good job of being an improved version of the Galaxy A50. In terms of proportion, it is exactly the same size and weight as the A50 – 158.5 x 74.5 x 7.7 mm and 166 grams – and from the front, both phones look like twins who were separated cruelly by an S-shaped destiny at a festival, with 6....

Siri voice search has been touted as a core feature of the new Apple TV, even it’s limited to only eight countries: UK, US, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Japan; at least for now. Apple recently said that Siri will be coming to Apple Music on the new Apple TV at the beginning of next year, but there’s already evidence of the new functionality being ready. Jeff Benjamin from the iDownloadBlog publication has shared a video demo of Siri being used to search for songs, albums, artists and playlists on Apple Music from the Home screen on the new Apple TV....

Global smartphone shipments are estimated to reach 1.5 billion units, nearly a 7 percent increase from 2015. Moreover, the entire mobile phone market is predicted to stand at 1.9 billion units. The major cause for the slowdown has been the fact that vendors have not been able to drive the prices low enough for a ‘good enough to use‘ smartphone below $50 making it difficult for consumers still operating on feature phones to upgrade....

As you can already relate from the name, the Sony Xperia X Compact is the smaller of the two siblings and is the latest addition to the company’s Xperia X lineup. To be precise, the Sony Xperia X Compact is a trimmed down version of the flagship Xperia X launched earlier this year. Rather it sports a markedly smaller 4.6 inch display with a resolution of just 1280x720p. While this might appear puny in today’s world but this display size has been a part and parcel of the Xperia Compact lineup for quite some time now, ever since those Xperia Z days....

So what Spector does is that it captures the image of the object and then hands it over to an algorithm which corroborates the same with the database in order to find the match. As expected, the algorithm breaks down the image into Unicode and other related information which will eventually help it to match the same with the database. Apart from the fonts, the Spector also captures colors and converts it into CMYK/RGB....

If you want to know more about !bangs and DDG in general, you should read that article first. Today, I’ll be talking about the process of finally ditching Google and moving on to DuckDuckGo. Sadly, it’s not as easy as flicking a switch. But the couple of minutes you spend on setting everything up will surely be worth it. Switch the Default Search Engine In Chrome: Surprise, surprise.

However, there is one feature that makes the Kindle pretty much a must-have for any book lover. And it is not often not talked about. Even when mentioned, it is just brushed over. Taken for granted. Because it is so obvious. What, however, is NOT obvious is how important it is. And no, I am not referring to the fact that e-books help conserve the environment, although that might be relevant given the fiery happenings in different parts of the world....

TNW Conference 2012: What I Saw The Next Web Conference. Getting there didn’t represent a problem, thanks to the helpful tram rails in Amsterdam. Once I got there, I was greeted by a sign that told me where to head to for the conference. Being the first time here, I got excited about it. This year, the conference is held in quite an exotic venue that looks good both from the outside as from the inside....

Those were the words of a friend when she was asked why she kept using the iPhone XS to take pictures a few weeks ago, even though there were (allegedly) phones with better cameras around. The very implication that there are phones that can take better pictures than the “Godphone” might outrage some Apple fanboys, but the fact is that every month that passes after the launch of a new iPhone sees the arrival of at least one device that claims to be better than the iPhone in the camera department, and generally serves up proof in the form of camera samples shared in a presentation or social networks....

The traditional clash: vs iPhone X Can the notch nick it? This is a clash of tastes more than anything – the more realistically tuned AMOLED of the iPhone X against the eye-popping brilliance of the Galaxy S9+; the true to life cameras of the X against the more pleasant results from the S9+; the curvy design of the X against the taller and slightly more edgy looks of the S9+; Apple’s chips against Samsung’s; Apple’s UI against Samsung’s, and so on....

And well, in terms of sheer functionality, it certainly has the beating of the Apple Pencil that comes with the iPad Pro – it is designed in a pen like manner and comes with a clip that can be attached to the Type cover, or even to your shirt pocket, and has a nice solid feel to it. There is also no embarrassing recharging mechanism – it comes with an AAAA battery that does not need to be recharged and which Microsoft claims lasts well over a year....

Luckily, where the mobile devices fall short, there are other gadgets that can take on the task of providing a boost in the multimedia capabilities that we want: mobile docking stations. These are perfectly adjusted for music or video playback, at high quality and far louder than the smartphone, tablet or mp3 player could be. But docking stations are also suited for other devices, and in this guide, we will be looking at all of them....

1. Of course, the Under Display Fingerprint Scanner Fingerprint scanners on phones have come a long way. Even though the Motorola Atrix had it some time ago, what popularized it was Apple’s TouchID implementation which paved way for other OEMs to include it in their phones irrespective of the price point. Fingerprint scanners have conventionally been placed to the front of the device underneath the screen, which seems to be the most convenient position....
