The report regarding Samsung halting Note 7 production is said to be in line with the safety regulators in the US, China, and Korea. It’s most likely that Samsung will themselves announce the news with a greater degree of detail. The things started taking an ugly turn after five replacement phone caught fire and a major chunk of Samsung’s carrier partners said that they would stop selling the phones in entirety....
Sound for everything and everyone For, notwithstanding its array of features, the Sennheiser HD 458BT is mainly about its sound quality. It delivers the clear, warm sound that is a Sennheiser trademark. There is slight stress on the bass but never do the beats and other instruments overwhelm the vocals and other instruments. We would call it somewhere between the very warm and carefully tuned sound of Bose and the slightly more bass-heavy sound of Sony – and that is a very good place to be....
Sharp isn’t exactly a household name in the smartphone market, but the Japanese display maker is a pioneer in the field of bezel-less smartphones. Its first tri-bezel less smartphone was called the Sharp Aquos Crystal. The handset was launched back in 2014, way before Mi MIX and Essential Phone were built. The all-new Aquos R Compact, however, isn’t an upgrade of the original Aquos Crystal. Instead, it’s a completely new product, but it shares a number of specifications with the recently launched Aquos Crystal S2....
As tech bloggers, we love and hate this at the same time. Content discovery is no more a problem, but it has become increasingly difficult to suggest the right phone to the right person, specially when the prices keep fluctuating and new phones from Asia and elsewhere keep popping up to spoil your recommendation list. If this is the plight of someone whose primary work revolves around smartphones, imagine the plight of an unsuspecting consumer who wants to buy the best phone available at a price he is comfortable to pay....
1. The Indian smartphone market is growing…and it was a record Q2! IDC says that a total number of 36.9 million smartphones were shipped to India in Q2 2019, which is the highest number for a second-quarter in India. It also represented a 9.9 percent year on year growth and 14.8 percent over the previous quarter.

Appearance When it comes to design, there is only one clear winner here. Yes, we know there will be takers for the Redmi Note 5 Pro’s rock solid metal build. But those seeking beauty will find it impossible to resist the 12 layered glass back of the Honor 9N. The 9N is also a more compact and lighter device. Yes, the weight of the Note 5 Pro is reassuring, but the Honor 9N feels downright premium, thanks to the glass back and 2....

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....
We are talking about the phone’s display, of course. It has been expanding at a rate that would make the East Indian Company in the nineteenth century really jealous. A dozen years ago, it shared the pride of place with keyboards when it came to importance on phones. Then it became THE most dominant feature on the front of phones. And now, judging by what we have seen in the Mi Mix Alpha from Xiaomi, it is all set to extend all the way to the back of phones....
Even in the launch presentation, there were references to the original Nord, especially when it came to the “more megapixels” main sensor and the “larger” battery. The stress right through (very subtly, though)was on what you were getting in the new Nord, as compared to the old one. It sounds like a bit of a succession story, right? Nord in name, but not in spec game (kinda sorta) Well, keep those comparisons aside for a while, and the truth will hit you – the OnePlus Nod CE 5G is actually NOT the successor of the OnePlus Nord, except in terms of time (it comes after the Nord, ergo, it is the successor)....

Seven. Seven! That is the number of chatting apps Google has right now which is quite insane and none of them actually integrate with each other. The list includes Google Allo, Google Duo, Google Spaces, Messenger, Google Voice, Youtube, and Hangouts. Phew. Google Voice, in fact, was reinvigorated just recently with a long overdue makeover for some particular reason only they can perceive. So, as you might have guessed already, it is getting exceedingly difficult to keep up....
That joke might seem like a bad one, but it kinda fits when we talk of fingerprint scanners on smartphones. They started from the bottom after all, and now seem to have reached their home (or so we think). But to understand this better, let’s start from the beginning. Or actually from the bottom. Of smartphones. Starting from the base-ics… Once upon a time, smartphones had to depend on passwords, pin and pattern locks to keep peepy-eyes from breaking and entering....
Actually, if you are on the lookout for a real bass boss, well, the OG just got super affordable. No, they are not the latest, but they are still good enough to be in contention for the title of Bass Greatest. All right, we will make it simple: Skullcandy’s Crusher Wireless are up for grabs at a massive discount. They were launched at Rs 12,999 in late 2016 and are now going for as little as Rs 6,999....
Last year Youtube had launched the Youtube Shows section with some TV shows and classic movies. So, it is no surprise that they have come out with set of mainstream movies.

So check out Youtube Movies section and let us know which favorite movie is in there and if possible throw in the link as well for the benefit of others who love suggestions!...

We thought the feature has finally been confirmed after few beta revisions and it seemed that WhatsApp will be sticking to the Google Drive backup feature for good. Much to our dismay the latest version of the app 2.12.233 had removed Google Drive backup feature. The Google Drive option is no more accessible when we try to backup the chats whereas the previous versions of the application allowed users to backup not only their conversations but also the image and other media (except for video....
