LG G2 Sony Xperia Z Ultra Sony Xperia Z1 Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A Acer Liquid S2 Xiaomi MiPhone3 That’s an impressive list of phones, isn’t it? Qualcomm’s new flagship SoC comes with four Krait 400 CPUs at up to 2.3 GHz, Adreno 330 graphics, and the latest modem IP block with Category 4 LTE. Its ability to render real-time graphics is commendable. Out of the seven devices listed above, we had the opportunity to play around and review the mammoth 6....

So then, what’s the limit? Where are we going? And how far into the future of technology can we really see? There are actually a few theories regarding the path that lies ahead for technology. One of the vast and interesting theories is the idea of the Technological Singularity. In short, this idea theorizes that, in the technological advance, machines will be able to reach the complexity of the human mind and surpass it....

The message was clear. Samsung had figured out bendable displays and was ready to be at the forefront of the smartphone’s future. But then, it all evaporated. Samsung continued to sell the most amount of smartphones in the world and its Galaxy lineup grew more mature and modern as the years passed by. No signs of foldable phones, however. Reports did swamp the Internet every few months claiming that the company will be unveiling it soon but those rumors never come to fruition....

That was the exclamation I heard from at least half a dozen people in a crowded room in the Taj Palace Hotel in Delhi as Lava took the wrappings off what is now being called the second generation of Android One. Well, it certainly is its second coming. And unlike the first, which had seen three very similar devices being launched at the same time, this time there was just one....

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....

A classic returns from the Mysts of time The game is called Myst. It was released way back in 1993. And was actually one of the first games to be sold on what was then a new medium, the CD-ROM. For quite a while, it was one of the highest-selling games in the world, and believe us, it is magnificent to play even now. Actually, especially now – and before you ask, you can play it on your phone or tablet, as it is available for both iOS and Android in all its glory....

The reason for the comparison is simple: before the iPhone XR, Apple had a phase when all its new iPhones were inevitably priced on the higher side. Even the iPhone XR’s price was initially on the high side, but a few price cuts made it a bestseller, so much so that it was one of the highest selling phones in the world. This was followed by the iPhone 11 which actually started at a lower price than the iPhone XR’s launch price and is now following its bestselling footsteps....

Just like Apple’s App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch, Google too has its own App Store called Google Android Market. Though the Android market is relatively news, there are thousands of Apps already and if you have just bought an Android phone, it is quite obvious that you will be dying to try out some Free Android apps on your brand new phone. There are hundreds of Free Apps already in Android Market which makes your job of picking up the best apps even more difficult....

Such is the case with UsBidi, a new smart charger which is described as “reliable, battery saving, time saving, mess/tangle free, and worthy of our beloved phones and tablets“. It’s said to be the most intelligent charger currently available on the market, and judging by its features, we don’t think this is a far-fetched affirmation. First of all, UsBidi doubles the charging speed on computer USB, which is a great feature to have when you want your device to be near you when you’re working....

VPNTraffic is a new entrant to the overly populated Premium VPN market. Like many others, it is also PPTP based and hence supports multiple platforms like Windows and Mac OS. I have been testing Vpntraffic for the past few days and I must say the service has been fairly good. Except once when their servers went offline, the vpn service has managed to perform as advertised. With Vpntraffic I could easily stream multiple online episodes on Hulu, watch a couple of NFL games and even voice chat on Skype without buffering issues....

Making progress on that front, the company has introduced a new feature dubbed “Low Data Usage” on a recently released beta v2.12.5 of WhatsApp’s iOS app. The description of the feature confirms that enabling this option will lower the amount of bandwidth voice calls consume. “Enabling this option further lowers the amount of cellular or WiFi data used during a VoIP call,” the description reads. The feature, as of now, is only available on WhatsApp for iOS apps and is yet to show up on other clients....

Windows 11 Release date: October 5, 2021 – save the date Windows 11 is available to selected users as of now under the Insider Preview Program by Microsoft, on computers supporting TPM 2.0. This is a key eligibility factor for Windows 11 to be installed on any machine. However, Microsoft themselves have confirmed that they will not restrict users from installing Windows 11 on systems without TPM 2.0 support. The process though will take a few steps more as users without TPM 2....

You can see what appears to be some kind of Xbox Live integration, taking up a corner of what’s presumably a new home screen for the OS. There are also big, finger-loving notice icons for calls, text messages, and email, with sections for Facebook, Pictures and “Me” filling out the rest. We don’t have any more information about this, but we believe these are genuine screenshots of Windows Mobile OS....

The protect plan however needs to be bought separately and will cost Rs 275 for Redmi 2 and Redmi 2 Prime whereas the same protection plan will cost Rs 499 for the Mi4, Mi 4i and the Mi Pad. The prices for the protect plan are nominal and considering the fact that Xiaomi will also be arranging for a free drop and pickup, it can’t get any better. The Mi Protect insurance will also insure your phone against thefts and it goes a step beyond and clocks their SIM card on the stolen device across the globe....

Design and User Interface It seems that MIUI 7 is designed to satisfy the craving for customization, it comes with five-new UI (not themes) that the company claims are tailor made to suit an individual’s lifestyle. The Ocean Breeze UI is for folks who are relaxed and want to enjoy their holidays, the Pink Blush is for all the ladies out there, the Rose UI is once again a classy mishmash of design elements and the High life is for the Business folks....

The first thing I noticed is the 18:9 display with thin bezels. This also means that the phone is taller than its predecessor but again the back panel design is pretty much the same as the Redmi Note 4. On a related note, it’s very likely that the Redmi Note 5 may be powered by a Snapdragon 630. That apart let’s take a quick look at the Redmi Note 5 Specifications, 5....

The Yi cam now comes with separate apps for photos and videos editing with ability to share directly to popular social networks. Other than 4K at 30fps, the Yi cam can capture 1080p at 120 fps and 720p at 240 fps as well. It also allows for time lapse videos with 0.5 / 1 /2 /5/ 10/ 30/ 60 seconds internals between shots. The display is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass....

Yahoo was in fact the first to introduce access to Yahoo account by SMS verification, a method wherein every time a user wants to login to his Yahoo mail account the password will be sent to the registered mobile number in the form of a OTP, just like how bank authenticates its transactions. Yahoo in a bid to improvise on the OTP password has introduced a better login method which is more efficient as well....

“Apple was too scared to acquire me.” Yes, you read that right—an app dedicated to something as routine as the weather comes with a truckload of sass. The first hint you get of it is while installing it when it will call you “meat bag” (a word you will hear very often, indeed). Of course, it tells you about the weather, giving you the day’s and the week ahead’s information about the temperature, precipitation, wind, visibility pressure, humidity, dew point, and all....
