What’s interesting is that Nokia is part of the Graphene Flagship Consortium, amongst other 73 companies. Could this mean that in the future we’ll see other products from Nokia, different than smartphones? What’s very important about this material is that its development grant has been officially described by the European Commission as one of “the largest research excellence awards in history”, which highlights even more, the role of this wonder material....

No, I’m not kidding. Google has a surprisingly straightforward and hassle-free feature for reminders which is available across its mobile apps and the web. All you need to do is type in, for instance, “remind me to buy milk at 7 PM”, and hit enter. Before this, however, do make sure you’re logged in with the same Google account as the one on your phone. Once you’ve searched that phrase, you’ll be greeted with a neat little interface for adding the reminder....

I fired up the browser to check if my Mac was suffering from any bug. But to my surprise, Apple doesn’t allow browsing an Android phone’s storage directly. Instead, you have to install a separate tool by Google for doing so. Okay, alright, living with an app by Google won’t be so terrible. Except, it was the most obsolete and disdained app by Google I’ve ever used. That would have been fine as well if it had just worked....

The Lenovo Z5s comes with an all-glass, luminous design and a 6.39-inch 1080p which has a tiny notch at the top. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 710 chipset, up to 6GB of RAM, 128GB of onboard storage which can be expanded, and a 3300mAh which even supports quick charging. There are three cameras on the phone’s rear — a primary 16-megapixel sensor with an aperture of f/1.8, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens, and another 5-megapixel snapper for depth-sensing....

Looks This is going to boil down to personal preference but the Lenovo A6000 sneaks a surprise win here in our books. None of the three devices are traffic-stoppers, but of the three the A6000 is the smartest thanks to its remarkably slim frame (8.2 mm against the 9.4 mm of the Redmi 2 and the 12.3 mm of the Moto E) but of the three, the real battle is between the Redmi 2 and the A6000....

The idea behind Tilt is to enhance your smartphone experience while you work, as it allows your handset to be tilted so that it can be used in viewing or in a more productive angle. The stand is made from a high-quality aluminum body placed between two thermoplastic rubber end caps that provide non-slip/non-scratch contact points. The unique shape of the stand enables you to keep your phone upright for viewing or tilted back 45 degrees for a comfortable angle while swiping and typing....

Luckily, where the mobile devices fall short, there are other gadgets that can take on the task of providing a boost in the multimedia capabilities that we want: mobile docking stations. These are perfectly adjusted for music or video playback, at high quality and far louder than the smartphone, tablet or mp3 player could be. But docking stations are also suited for other devices, and in this guide, we will be looking at all of them....

There are a tons of ways you can personalize your phone including wallpapers, messing up with the home-screen using widgets, themes if your phone supports and some more. But you can also change looks of the app icons by simply installing icon packs from the play store.

While GIMP, in itself, is one of the top image editing and manipulation software — that is feature-rich and free to use — it does have certain missing features and a few drawbacks, like any other software/service in the market. However, to overcome such shortcomings, it provides support for plugins, which are essentially modules that work in tandem with the software to offer more features and improve usability. So, in this article, we list down some of the best GIMP plugins to help you get the most out of this image editing software on your computer....

After finishing up with the Android side, we turn our eye over to the other camp: iOS. Users from around the world can now rejoice, knowing what are the best apps that can help them with these subjects. We start off with the best math apps for iOS devices and hopefully, in a few days we will have completed the entire series. Top iOS math apps Despite the fact that the iTunes Store offers lots of apps that target kids and have low level math support, we scoured the store for the best math apps for higher levels of education and came up with a list that will cover the needs of pretty much any user....

However, Windows has put less work into the software because it has limited features, no new functions have been added, and it is too basic for organizing files. Besides, there are numerous alternatives to File Explorer that offer many fascinating features such as language translation, batch renaming, and easy organization of files. For these reasons, using a third-party file manager for Windows is best. This article will present the seven best File Managers for Windows 11/10 to choose from....

Aside from the fact that it’s exceptionally well at identifying and blocking spam, part of the reason for Truecaller’s success also lies in the fact that it’s been constantly updated over the years to increase its effectiveness at fending off spam calls and messages from fraudsters, telemarketers, and spammers. Keeping up with the formula, Truecaller’s now introduced another major update to its app in the form of an AI-based assistant....

The option for summoning autorickshaws on the Uber iOS and Android app is available on the extreme left of the carousel on the bottom under “Popular”. It functions just like every other ride option and you can pay with either cash or any other compatible method like PayTM or credit/debit card. In comparison, its direct competitor — Ola charges a marginally higher fee of Rs 29 for the first four kilometers....

The most significant way Uber is making its new app smoother on patchy networks and underpowered phones is by getting rid of the nifty map which shows the driver’s location in real-time. Instead, Uber Lite displays your pickup whereabouts’ name in big, bold letters on the home screen and the car as well as driver’s details once you’ve confirmed. Maps are present on Uber Lite if a user wants but they’re optional and can be revealed by tapping the “See on map” option....

However, it wasn’t all hunky-dory for the launch model Switch. Among many problems, players weren’t very pleased with the battery life, with the amount of playtime they were getting.

If you own any Switch system, be it the Switch or the Switch lite, you can go through our guide. We have put together a list of tweaks you can perform to your Switch in order to improve battery life....

Gadgets are present in our lives, and they can transform your iPhone into a real medical tool or help you while driving your car or during your travel. But what about the weather? Sure, we did feature a lot of weather apps here on Technology Personalized, but if you want to really understand weather, then you need some weather gadgets or weather instruments, if you want to call them that....

Mind you, it does have its hands full. At Rs 22,990, the Vivo V17 treads that tricky ground between that occupied by the mid-segment (around Rs 15,000) rock stars like the Redmi Note 8 Pro and Realme XT and the one inhabited by budget flagship ones (Rs 25,000-30,000) like the Realme X2 Pro and Redmi K20 Pro. What works in its favor is that this is relatively unoccupied land, with the Redmi K20 being perhaps the only really well-known device out there....

Vivo X30 and X30 Pro: Display The Vivo X30 and X30 Pro, both come with a 6.44-inch Super AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio, 2400 × 1080 pixels screen resolution, 1200 nits brightness, and support for DCI-P3 color gamut. In addition, the display also has a hole-punch cutout at the top, which houses the 32MP front-facing camera. The phone comes in three color options: Black, Blue, and Pink....

Well, both Google and OnePlus have shown their phone-y hands now. And although the reviews of both devices are underway with us, it is becoming increasingly apparent that OnePlus has – yet again – thoroughly unsettled the phone arm of the Search giant. If that sounds excessively unfair, cast a glance at the prices of the devices launched by the two brands over the past couple of weeks: Pixel 3a: Rs 39,999 Pixel 3a XL: Rs 44,999 OnePlus 7: Rs 32,999 OnePlus 7Pro: Rs 48,999...
