Let’s begin with the looks as that’s what most people are going to notice first when you have the speaker lying on your table. The first time I unboxed the speaker, I instantly saw a close resemblance to Apple’s HomePod. Not as big, of course, and not as premium but there’s no denying that the Mivi Octave is a looker. There’s fabric all over the cylindrical surface and a soft matt plastic layer on the top and bottom....

Today, we’re taking a look at some mobile apps designed to allow those who have their vision impaired to use a smartphone just like everyone else, and benefit from all the features that these devices offer. We hope these apps will provide a much needed service for anyone in need. Tools integrated within the mobile OS Most mobile operating systems offer some accessibility tools within the operating system itself for users with disabilities....

For the uninitiated, Megavideo is an online video portal with millions of videos, documentaries, TV shows and movies, but comes with an irritating 72 minutes (or 61 minutes now?) time limit after which the user is given an option to wait for 50+ minutes to continue watching or purchase a premium account which gets rid of this wait.

First, let’s talk about the premium Moto Z Style, it will reportedly feature a 5.5-inch Quad HD AMOLED display up front stepping down from 5.7-inch last year, and is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 820. There will be most probably two variants, one with 3GB of RAM and another with 4GB RAM. Both are expected to sport 32GB of internal storage. On the camera front, it will rock a 13MP rear sensor with laser auto focus and Optical Image Stabilization....

Looks and design – slim olde guard versus new aspect ratio This is going to be a clash of tastes, more than anything else. Both the devices are very eye-catching in their own ways – the OnePlus 5T with its tall 18:9 aspect ratio display and curved metal back, and the Moto Z2 Force with its slightly more old fashion 16:9 front but a super sleek brushed aluminium finish on the back with a very distinct spherical camera unit....

For starters, 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....

Motorola Edge Plus Display The Edge Plus features a 6.7-inch curved OLED panel with an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The display comes with a hole-punch cutout on the top left to house the front-facing camera. And it also includes an in-display fingerprint scanner for authentication. Besides, the panel comes with HDR10+ certification to offer better colors with enhanced contrast. The Edge Plus comes in two colorways: Smoky Sangria and Thunder Grey....

This move comes right after Netflix extended their presence in 130 countries and we had just discovered a tool called Smartflix which helped bypass the country restrictions. David Fullagar, Netflix’s VP of content delivery has said “In coming weeks, those using proxies and unblockers will only be able to access the service in the country they currently are” He further added that these changes will not affect folks not using any sort of proxies and playing it by the book....

The leaked image also suggests the OnePlus 6T won’t have any design alterations and will feature the same all-glass exterior found on the OnePlus 6. In addition, the Mirror Black color option will be retained as well, although we don’t know about any other gradients yet. The most significant change on the outside is clearly the absence of a fingerprint reader beneath the two rear cameras since the OnePlus 6T will have it under the screen which was confirmed by OnePlus itself weeks ago....

Customers in India can visit Newegg.com and purchase a wide selection of products. Initially, this new international store will have a limited selection of products to start, but this will grow and improve in the coming months. Newegg is also adding multilingual customer service in order to reduce any language barriers. Customer can chat in their native language, which is translated instantly for Newegg’s customer service representatives.

The stint which probably won’t cause any harm to Snapdeal Remember when Evan Spiegel publicly said something and half of India began bad-mouthing Snapdeal instead of Snapchat? Yeah. Well, you would be surprised to know that one of the few early stints of Spiegel was at a company called “Intuit”. Specifically, he was part of the Txtweb team which aimed to make information available to regions like India where Internet connectivity is still not widely available through SMS....

There have been several leaks and rumors over the hardware components of OnePlus 2, one of which had claimed that the phone will carry the Snapdragon 810 along with 3GB of RAM. This is in line with that rumor, although OnePlus hasn’t confirmed the RAM present on the smartphone yet. Snapdragon 810 has been in the news for all the wrong reasons, with Samsung infamously putting down the processor while launching Galaxy S6, saying that the processor gets warmer beyond normal....

To begin with, in terms of design, the OnePlus Buds appear to have a similar design language as some of the other earbuds in the market — inspired by Apple’s AirPods. The earbuds themselves have a stem design, and the case features a puck-shaped body that appears somewhat similar to the case of the recently announced Vivo TWS Neo earbuds. Moreover, there is also IPX4 water resistance. In terms of color options, the Buds come in three colorways: Gray, Nord Blue, and White....

The Oppo F5 comes in a characteristic metal unibody design that features horizontal antenna lines at the bottom and the top end of the phone. To the front, lies a huge 6 inch Full HD+ Full Screen 18:9 display with minimal bezels on the forehead and chin. Apparently, the new age 18:9 display has allowed Oppo to accommodate a pretty large display in a rather small form factor. The upcoming Oppo R11s and the OnePlus 5 is said to come with similar display technology, albeit they will come with slightly smaller panels....

Interestingly, all these three brands have of late been largely focusing on the premium side of the market, but the past few months have seen them go for this mid-stream. And no, we do not think the reduced expenditures spurred by the COVID pandemic has caused it – all three phones had been in the works for a while, well before the pandemic even became news. No, the main motive of the three brands seems to be to grab a bit of the very lucrative mid and upper mid-segment that lies below the premium one....

Switching to a Switchblade design It also is perhaps one of the most striking 5G phones in the mid-segment. In its second coming, Poco has shown a willingness to go for designs that stand out – from the large logos on the X3 series to the bright yellow back of the M3 launched a few months ago. The front is business as usual – a tall 6.5-inch LCD display with a punch-hole notch in the center – but flip the phone around, and you are likely to either smile or frown, depending on your sense of aesthetics....
