WhatsApp Web is available for Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone and recently they also expanded the services for the iOS. Security firm Check Point claims to have unearthed a vulnerability in the software, which would let hackers take control of user’s computer and install ransomware or as a matter of fact any kind of malware. The hacker could simply inject a command in the name attribute of the vCard file and when executed, Windows will run all lines in the files just like a usual Windows Batch file, thus executing the malicious code....

Apple announced iPhone 4S earlier this week. It is now available for pre-order in US, Canada, Australia, UK, Germany, France & Japan and will be available starting Oct 14th. The problem with iPhone 4S in many countries including US, is that Apple ties up the iPhone purchase to a local telecom provider like AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone or O2. The service providers in turn subsidize the price of iPhone 4S by more than half of its actual price....

1. Apps matter Apps are the biggest reason why creating an OS for the smartphone market as of now would not make any sense. Microsoft tried its hand with Windows Phone but ultimately failed despite having made Nokia an exclusive partner and even going as far as to buy Nokia’s mobile phone division. Microsoft spent several billions of dollars trying to force its way into the smartphone market but to no avail....

The Mi Power Bank 3 which is dubbed as the Pro/High Edition is built out of a single mold of plastic with a matte texture all around in a stealth black finish. The capacity is rated at 20000mAh which is a lithium polymer battery on the inside, but the actual capacity stands at around 13000mAh dude to heat dissipation and various other losses involved with a power bank.

Xiaomi has fitted the Mi 4s with a 13-Megapixel primary sensor along with two-tone LED flash along with PDAF, the secondary camera is a 5-Megapixel sensor....

One of the most prominent of these was, well, Xiaomi, which makes it ironical or appropriate (depending on which side of the Android One fence you sit on) that the Chinese company is the one behind the revival of the initiative. The Xiaomi Mi A1 is by all accounts, a Mi 5X (released earlier in China), but with stock Android in place of Xiaomi’s own MIUI 9 interface. Look, it is the 5X We have not had the chance to use the Mi 5X (it was not released in India), but all accounts seem to indicate that the Mi A1 is a dead ringer for it....

A new leak coming from China has now revealed most of the specs of the alleged smartphone. Incidentally, the Mi Note 2 is expected to come in three variants and just in case you are thinking that the difference between the three is in the RAM or internal storage, then you are wrong. Rather there’s a lot that differs among these variants – starting from the display to the build quality....

Manu Jain, VP, Xiaomi Global and MD Xiaomi India was quoted as follows, “Xiaomi’s high-quality, well-designed products at honest prices have been instrumental in disrupting the Indian smartphone industry. In 2015, we extended our long-term commitment to the Indian market by joining the Make in India programme. Today, we are deepening this commitment with three more smartphone factories and our first SMT plant dedicated towards local manufacturing of PCBA units....

Although the company hasn’t announced the pricing of Mi 4 in India, we expect it to price the smartphone anywhere between Rs.17,000 and Rs.20,000. The Mi 4 is currently priced at ¥1999 which is around Rs.20,000, and the new Mi Note which comes with a bigger display, better camera and Dual 4G connectivity, starts at ¥2299 while the Mi Note Pro starts at ¥3299. Looking at the way Xiaomi is segmenting its products, we won’t be surprised if it drops the price of Mi 4 to something like ¥1799 in China, and possibly launch it at the same price (Rs....

Realme X2 Pro vs OnePlus 7T: Different shades of Blue We, of course, get matters underway with that skin-deep quality: beauty. And here we must confess that it is a no-brainer as far as we are concerned. We had stated in our review that design was perhaps not the strongest suit of the Realme X2 Pro and it really gets shown up against the OnePlus 7T. Both phones come with a glass front and back, and both have a gradient finish....

The Redmi Note 11 comes from the popular, almost legendary smartphone series, which is the most popular phone series from Xiaomi. In contrast, the T1 comes from a brand new series – the T series – that Vivo has launched with the phone itself. Given their pricing proximity, confusion between the two phones is pretty understandable. So we will pit these two smartphones against each other to help you figure out which one is for you....

We are starting to see a trend here. Back in the day, a ‘Lite’ variant was a dumbed down variant of a premium phone that was denied the riches of its powerful cousin but matched it in few departments. But now, companies have started to give the Lite a new meaning – shiny, glossy, glassy and aimed at beautifying the phone. The 5 Lite is no different. You’d be instantly reminded of the Honor 9 Lite....

Does it succeed? We will reveal that in our review, but as of now, here are our initial impressions of the new Honor phone in six points: It is the spiritual successor of the 9 Lite The 9N is pretty much the successor of the 9 Lite. And it plays pretty much the same cards: very good design, a compact form factor (the phone is very comfortable to hold) and decent hardware (that Kirin 659 chip again) at a price that is relatively on the lower side when you consider the sheer premium appearance of the device....

Heck, it’s small The first thing that is going to hit you about the iPhone X is just how compact it is. It sports the largest display we have seen on an iPhone at 5.8 inches, but is much – MUCH – smaller than the 5.5-inch display toting iPhone 8 Plus. It is 143.6 mm long as compared to the rather large 158.4 mm of the 8 Plus and its 70....
