The defect in Ookla’s Android app has been displaying incorrect results whenever you run a speedtest on a Dual SIM handset. It only takes into account the network on which the calls have been assigned irrespective of the data settings. Hence, for instance, if you’ve configured Airtel for calls and Reliance Jio for data, it will show the network speeds of Airtel no matter on which SIM slot it has been inserted....
Memories of the Wall… And guess what, it actually succeeds in that very lofty aim. Which brings us to an explanation of that headline we have used, as it might have confused those who do not follow the game of cricket (it is supposed to be a religion in India). Allow us to digress slightly. In the period of 1996-2011, Rahul Dravid was a key member of the Indian cricket team....
Motorola is now said to be working on a new smartphone which is codenamed Motorola Bounce. By the looks of it, the handset seems to be a more rugged and more compact version of the Moto X Style flagship. The new smartphone is allegedly set for a December unveiling, which would be just in time for the lucrative holiday season. The leak is coming from upleaks which claims the device will feature the following:...
Growth in Q1 Like its counterparts, IDC has also reported that the Indian smartphone market recorded a very healthy 18 percent growth in the first quarter of the year, with shipments of 38 million units. Interestingly, however, the report also highlighted that this figure represented a 14 percent decline from Q4 2020. Tough Q2 coming up, but not as bad as last year Just as Counterpoint and Canalys, IDC too has pointed to a much tougher second quarter in the year, because of the onset of the second wave of COVID-19....

As mentioned above, the Momentum True Wireless 2 follows a similar design language as the original True Wireless, except that they are now 2mm smaller than their predecessor. According to the company, the reduction in size improves ergonomics and offers a better fit that minimizes fatigue. Besides, the earbuds come with the same metallic finish with gold-plated charging pins and are available in two color schemes: Black and White. In terms of audio, the earbuds come with Sennheiser’s 7mm dynamic drivers, which according to the company, aid in delivering better stereo sound that offers defined bass with clear mids and detailed treble....

Of course, the gadget comes with companion iOS and Android apps and you can use these to set smart alarms. The Sense orb comes with a speaker that can be used to play white noise....
“What is it, Watson? Has the gentleman downstairs who has descended from an Austrian Duke and who belongs to a secret sect called “we will blow up your world slowly like a balloon, and that too a pink one” finally confessed to stealing feathers from the swan that swims near the left bank of the Thames, which had incidentally and accidentally swallowed the Crown Jewels…” “No, no, no! It is a diabolical message!...
Sony, the Japanese giant has been struggling with its smartphone strategy, both in high end and low end markets. Recently, the company has tried to get rid of the Xperia Z series for Xperia X, but that doesn’t seem to have made any significant impact. Microsoft on the other hand, has almost given up on the Windows 10 Mobile, with hardly any new Lumia phones released since 950 and 950 XL....
Aluminum clashes with Deep Blue In the race to provide the best features at an affordable price, many companies often cut corners on the design elements of the smartphone, but this is not the case when it comes to the Nokia 6 and the Honor 7X. Both the phones can easily turn heads and can be mistaken for a high-end device. The Nokia 6 is made up of a single Aluminium slab....

All of which has inspired two very obvious questions: We have spent about a week with the phone and well, based on our experience, what cannot be doubted is that the camera on the Pixel (both the Pixel and the Pixel XL have the same camera) is the best we have ever seen on a device with the Google brand name. And unlike the 6P, which seemed more adept at low light photography than at normal light (oh the Lumia-like irony), the Pixel holds its own in normal light as well....
ACROSS 1 The kind of intelligence that is expected to make headlines, given that its natural counterpart is difficult to place in phones. (10) 3 It ain’t a 845, but a 9810 ain’t too bad to ‘chip in’ for a device that is an iPhone challenger. Ask Samsung. (6) 5 LG’s Gone Girl at MWC. Yes, an improved V30 might be there, but this girl won’t. (4) 8 Mi blend of two that we are giving away....
Why are these such a no-brainer at that price? Well, they were launched at a price of Rs 14,999 in mid-2018, and even then were seen as potential AirPod killers. And although they have been succeeded by the much-acclaimed Elite 75T, they remain an excellent pair of truly wireless earphones. And at that their sub-Rs 5,000 price, are way ahead of anything the competition has to offer. In fact, their official price listing on the Jabra India site remains at Rs 11,999....
Five days into using the Surface Pro 4, we feel that it is the device best suited to carry the Windows standard. Like the Nexus, it does have alternatives. Many of them are better specced. Many even will come with better specs at a much lower price. But we are not sure that there are too many out there that can match the Surface as a whole. For five days we used the device with its keyboard and Pen as our only notebook....
“Anna Assistant”, once installed, can be simply summoned by saying ‘Hey’ followed by the command. I was a bit skeptical about its accuracy and performance initially, however, the extension works surprisingly well even if you speak softly. As of now, Anna supports a dozen actions. These include searching on Google, closing a tab, weather, opening websites and more. It functions in the background. Hence you won’t ever face pop-ups or any other sort of animation at all....
Technology, Helpful Tool for Education or Isolating Factor? When I was a kid, we used coloring books and played in the sand, or ran around the street. Computers were something rare, and not everybody was playing games at that time or spending so much time in the online. This reminds me of the latest Simpsons episode (at the moment of this writing), called The D’oh-cial Network. In the episode, Lisa creates a social network just like Facebook to make friends and, eventually, she discovers that albeit she has a lot of friends, you can’t really call that a friendship....
Back in 2012, NORAD (the North American Aerospace Defense Command) decided to break up the partnership with Google. Since 2007, NORAD had partenered with Google to locate Santa on the Google Maps. Since then, Microsoft decided to use the occasion to draw even more eyeballs to them. Therefore, if you’ll be using NORAD to track down Santa this year, you’ll have to rely on the Bing Maps in your quest....

What is MEMC? MEMC stands for Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation which is basically a fancy term to imply interpolation. While this technology is relatively new in smartphones, it has existed for a long time on the television side of things and has also been rather controversial. Filmmakers seem to hate it, while the average consumer seems to have no real problem with it. With MEMC becoming more mainstream now and making its way onto smartphones too, let’s take a look at how it works and if it is actually beneficial and if yes, in what scenarios....
