The all-new Realme 3 comes with a 6.2-inch display with a dewdrop notch on the top, at an aspect ratio of 19:9 that incorporates the front camera, light sensor, distance sensor, and earpiece. Realme says that it has let go of the old approach of a sandwich-like structure of screen + middle frame + back cover and has instead come up with an injection moulded unibody to achieve a better feel in hand and visuals....

Ticking all the usual design boxes When it comes to smartphone designs, there comes a time when some design features get common in pretty much all smartphones of a particular segment. It becomes almost illegal to not have them. Like in the mid-range segment, the smartphone has to have a tall display with some type of notch, thin bezels on three sides and a relatively thicker chin, glass-like plastic or glass back with some kind of gradient finish often accompanied by a vertical capsule-shaped camera unit....

Offline presence was something that been bothering Xiaomi for quite some time and in a market like India where major sales happen through retail stores, the Chinese firm has no other option than to reframe their marketing strategy. Well, it isn’t just about India though as the Lei Jun run company has been an eyeing an offline market share in its homeland too. Rather, Xiaomi has grand plans of opening around 200 offline shops in China in due time....

Well, there is good news for those waiting for the Poco F2 – the phone has been released in India. Only under a different name. Xiaomi has chosen to call it the Redmi K50i 5G. Yes, it is being marketed as the return of the Redmi K series to India, but make no mistake about it, this is a phone with a Poco F1 soul. It has been almost four years since the Poco F1 was released, but it is amazing how similar the K50i is to it in terms of core philosophy....

Redmi Note 9 Pro: “So there you are! Have you any idea how long I have been waiting?” Redmi Note 9 Pro Max: “Hey, I am sorry…” 9 Pro: “I mean, come on, we came into this market together and you choose to turn up – wait for it – ALMOST TWO MONTHS late!?” 9 Pro Max: “Hey, gimme a break, bro. There is a pandemic. A lockdown. I was stuck in the warehouse....

Reliance Jio has its network set up all over India but in order to optimize its network, the operator wants to allow just a few people to use it initially before a broader commercial launch for the public. To that extent, the operator has started allowing RIL employees to start sharing 10 LYF invites. If you managed to receive one of these LYF invites, you can buy any LYF smartphone and get unlimited calling, data and text for three months....

215 Million. This is the total number of users of Jio Network, which Reliance claims to have doubled in a year. Bharti Airtel, India’s most common network provider, stands at about 305 million users. Given that the birth of Reliance Jio took place just recently, it’s incredible to see how the telco has grown exponentially over the past two years. Jio claims that gaining 215 million users in a span of 22 months is a record that no technology company has been able to achieve anywhere in the world....

Going by the published images, it doesn’t look bad either, at least not an eyesore that one would expect for a phone costing less than what you’d pay for a coffee at Starbucks [Update: Actual image of the phone is at the end of the article]....

Similar fronts, and prismatically different backs And the Galaxy A50s does a daily good job of being an improved version of the Galaxy A50. In terms of proportion, it is exactly the same size and weight as the A50 – 158.5 x 74.5 x 7.7 mm and 166 grams – and from the front, both phones look like twins who were separated cruelly by an S-shaped destiny at a festival, with 6....

Galaxy M32 Review: Solid, substantial, if not stylish For, the Galaxy M32 is really all about ticking the basic boxes. The phone is designed on very solid rather than spectacular lines. The front is all about a tall display, albeit with a drop hole notch, rather than a more modern punch hole notch. The back is glossy carbonate but comes with subtle stripes that change color when light falls on them....

The latest leak shows off how powerful the Galaxy S7 is although the benchmarks might be different for the production spec model. The test results show that Galaxy S7 will be running the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and will be supported by the Adreno 530 GPU unit. Galaxy S7 was listed as SM-G935A and it was running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Previous round of leaks had inadvertently pointed that the Galaxy S7 would either be powered by the Snapdragon 820 or the Samsung Exynos 8890....

Now unlike other devices, Sense seems to employ machine learning to decide on its action and also learn the preferences of the family members.

1. Unlimited High-Resolution Photo/Video Storage Yes, if you purchase either the Pixel or Pixel XL, you can get lifetime high-resolution Google Photos storage. Hence, you can get all your 4K videos and full-resolution photos on the cloud and access them anywhere with no limitations at all. Now, it is currently uncertain whether this will also unlock your account allowing uploading on other configured phones too, but we’d doubt that. BTW, did you see Google’s subtle dig at Apple on this?...

However, headphones are bulky and cannot be carried around as easily as a pair of earphones. To tackle this, Sony launched the WF-1000XM3 which borrows the same active noise cancellation technology from its headphone sibling and puts it into a much more portable form factor. The Sony WF-1000XM3 is one of the few pairs of TWS earphones that have ANC but it is not just about their ability to cancel out ambient noise that makes them desirable....

The Surface Book will come equipped with a 13.5-inch PixelSense display and will also be offered with an optional Alcantara keyboard. As of now, it’s still not clear on the hardware bundling for the Surface laptop but the leaked images point at the existence of USB port, mini DisplayPort and the usual Surface power connector.

Dong Nguyen, the developer of Flappy Bird had taken down the app mysteriously from both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, and later revealed that the reason behind his decision was that the game was getting extremely addictive. Well, his newest creation isn’t much different. When we tried it for a brief time, we could hardly get scoring. Instead of an ugly bird, we now have an incredibly sensitive copter....

But, Who will win the “Tablet War” ? Apple is over confident; or is it the fans who believe in Apple blindly? Compatibility is an un-known word in Apple’s dictionary. You cannot have replacements for software, file manager, browser plugins, non-approved software – nothing. And can you go with non-expandable storage with your device? With Apple you have to! Don’t you feel controlled or limited? Sure, at-least I do feel claustrophobic....
