And it is because of this that my sources say that the phone could come at a surprisingly low price – well below Rs 30,000. Of course, it also means that the edition in India will be the one with the Alexa integration which was recently released in the US for USD 449 (what a come down from the launch price, darlings). From what we can figure out, the problem essentially (oops!...
No, it was much more than that. Allow me to digress for a moment. One of the first questions that often get asked whenever we take a good picture is: “which camera/phone did you use to take it?” It is almost as if in some way, the camera (be it a proper camera or one in a phone) plays the biggest role in taking a picture. Well, there is no doubt that the camera is very important – hell, the photograph would not exist without it – but what so many of us sometimes forget is that it is the person behind the camera who actually makes the photograph happen....
The Wanle Gamers Console comes with a small LCD display. The controls for the gaming console are slightly raised and the buttons are shaped similar to the classic handhelds. Despite adding a gaming feature the case still does what all cases are designed to do,i.e, protect the phone from bumps or accidental falls. The makers claim that the case is thin and it doesn’t actually feel like you are snapping on to something bulky....
App Store Yes, Android has an application store as well, which nearly houses a million more listings than iOS’. As of late, however, Google’s Play Store’s design has been sort of a mess. The company continues to add more tabs and carousels which, as a matter of fact, even violates its own Material Design guidelines. Compared to the iOS App Store which neatly highlights titles across various categories, the Play Store is just an endless stream of apps and games....
Just a few days back, Vodafone introduced two new prepaid plans offering 2 or 3GB data per day for a tenure of 3 months and they’re now offering new RED plans for postpaid customers aimed at users who consume a lot of media on their phone, hence the name RED Entertainment pack. The war between telecom operators seems never ending with each provider offering new packs every single day to counter its rival....
Research from Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy has discovered that the web trackers can be used to exploit password managers and track the users. We have already seen how attackers use the in-browser extensions to track users behavior. Well, now it seems like the hackers have found a way to track the user’s behavior by exploiting a loophole in Password Managers. This is how the tracking script works when a user visits a website the credentials are generally stored in the password manager....
For revenue, WhatsApp is starting slow right now. The company will only charge businesses for a message if they take more than 24 hours to respond. That highlights how WhatsApp is approaching monetization and making sure its forthcoming bigger revenue plans work — it’s urging companies to reply quicker so that people would prefer WhatsApp for customer service inquiries over other channels. In addition, the API will help these businesses share “shipping confirmations, appointment reminders or event tickets....
If you are not upgrading from Windows 8, but from an older version, then you’ll have to pay the regular prices: $119.99 for Windows 8.1 and $199.99 Windows 8.1 Pro. Many users, including myself, are running a preview version of Windows 8.1, which means we will have to the apps. Those of you that weren’t that curious and are moving just now from Windows 8 to 8.1 won’t have to reinstall anything as the software update already comes with the final form of the apps....
Jon Snow would get the need that things live before they die. The time of iOS 9 is over, though it lived its life well. It’s time to ring in iOS 10. Tyrion Lannister understood the importance of books as instruments of honing the human mind. It would seem Apple has realised the same about the colour black, never mind its being prone to the odd abrasion. It takes a fair deal of courage to go against the established order....
That’s about eight phones in all with the 9 moniker. And with them, Xiaomi has literally given every person looking for a phone with a budget from Rs 7,000 to Rs 17,000 an option. Here’s a break: Redmi Note 9 Pro Max: Rs 16,999 onwards Redmi Note 9 Pro: Rs 13,999 onwards Redmi Note 9: Rs 11,999 onwards Redmi 9 Power: Rs 10,999 onwards Redmi 9 Prime: Rs 9,999 onwards Redmi 9: Rs 8,999 onwards Redmi 9i: Rs 8, 299 onwards Redmi 9A: Rs 6,999 onwards That is a very broad look....
The HelloEar Arc earphones come with a unique design that’s built to provide comfort during long hours of usage. Xiaomi claims that these earphones are a result of four tedious years of research by its developer, HelloEar. The startup studied hundreds of thousands of ear molds to develop the Arc earphones. For doing so, the company had partnered with Tsinghua University and succeeded in developing the world’s first human ear database....

The dimensions of the body are 360.7 x 243.6 x 15.9mm and it weighs around the 1.95kg mark. XIaomi continues the near bezel-less design for the display and a huge trackpad below the keyboard.

Mid-segment with a number of premium touches Mind you, there’s very little that’s mid-segment about the appearance of the Mi 10i. As we had mentioned in our first impressions, the phone looks very premium with a (Gorilla) glass front and back, and a spherical camera unit that gave us very Poco X2 and OnePlus 7T feels. Yes, it is definitely on the large side and at 215 grams is not lightweight, but it is capable of grabbing attention – and the Pacific Sunrise variant with its blue upper portion blending into a peach lower part will turn heads!...
Display While all of them have a Full HD screen, the differences lie as far as their aspect ratios are concerned. The Mi A2 Lite comes with a notch-equipped which has an aspect ratio of 19:9, the Mi A2 has a more conservative 18:9 display and the Mi A1 features a standard old-school 16:9 screen. Specifications Xiaomi has reserved the majority of specification bumps for the pricier Mi A2. Therefore, you’d be hard-pressed to find differences between the Mi A2 Lite and Mi A1 hardware....
The 5.7-inch curved flexible OLED display is set at QHD resolution and it comes coated with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Xiaomi has also baked in the 3D touch feature (which we earlier saw in the Mi 5s) that works in line with the Apple’s 3D touch. Also, the Note 2 offers an impressive screen to body ratio of 77.2%. Xiaomi Note 2 draws power from the latest Snapdragon 821 clocked at 2....
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun took it to Weibo earlier today to showcase the design for its upcoming smartwatch. He added that the watch will come in two color options: Black and Silver. In addition, Mijia, one of Xiaomi’s sub-brands, also revealed the design on Weibo, which showcases the watch from a different angle, highlighting the presence of a 3D curved glass on top and a crown on the top-right, along with a mic in the middle and a power button below it....
The new Xolo Black has thickness of 7.3mm, which is still pretty elegant, even if there are new smartphones as slim as 5.5mm out there. The phone comes with a 5.5-inch full HD IPS OGS display protected by Gorilla Glass 3 with a 401 PPI density. A neat feature is the light in the power button which “breathes” when you get notifications. Here’s a breakdown of the most important specs of the device:...
The rise of Zoom COVID-19 snuck up on us and made all of us stay home in order to stay safe and with personal contact coming down precisely to zero, people had to discover new ways to stay connected with each other and slowly move the “at halt world.”.One of the biggest beneficiaries of this “no in-person contact” approach to flatten the COVID curve has been video calling apps and Zoom tops that list easily....
HDR HDR is one thing which recently came into the spotlight and most of us just know turning on this setting makes our photographs look better, but is that all? And if so, should you use the HDR mode all the time? Read on to find out. What is HDR? HDR is obviously an abbreviation and it stands for High Dynamic Range imaging, not High Definition Recording as so many assume it does....
Jai Mani does not give interviews. Xiaomi India’s Lead Product Manager, very much like rebel warrior Katsumoto in The Last Samurai, likes a good conversation. And revels in discussions – he is not a man overfond of his own voice, although that does not stop him from using some rather long sentences. Introduced to the Indian audience on stage during the Mi 4 launch in early 2015 by Xiaomi’s then Global Vice-President Hugo Barra (who insisted on calling him “handsome” every time he referred to him), with whom he had earlier worked in Google (a lot of mediapersons still refer to him as the “Google Guy at Xiaomi”), Mani has evolved into being the “geek” face of the tech company, the person with whom one discusses the tech side of the company’s phones, be it processor design, camera algorithms or his favourite subject, UI and software....
