“We’re gonna turn this industry upside down. Amazing 48 MP is coming.” Manu Jain tweeted, in a tweet that was – rather appropriately – upside down too. Although Xiaomi had announced the Redmi Note 7 in China a few weeks ago, raising eyebrows by offering a 48 megapixel sensor on a device that is super affordable (999 Yuan or Rs 11,000), there had been some concern that the Chinese brand would not bring it to India in the near future, as it had very recently released the Redmi Note 6 Pro in India....

But just because it is more affordable. does that mean you actually need ANC? Keeping the noise out Active noise cancellation or ANC is basically a technical way of keeping ambient noise out of your audio experience. All earphones/ headphones come with some sort of noise-canceling on board from the get-go. In many cases, it is as simple as ear covering cans, extra padding, or in-ear plugs that cut out some of the noise that can interfere with what you are hearing on them....

A major negative about going for Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 is that it is tethered jailbreak which means you will need to rejailbreak it everytime the device is rebooted (just like Blackra1n). The tethered jailbreak condition in Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 however only applies to the new devices like: iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch 2G (MC Model), iPod touch 3G and the iPod touch 4G. Old devices like iPhone 3GS (old bootrom), iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (Non-MC Model) can be jailbroken-untethered right now using this latest version of Redsn0w....

However, Samsung isn’t the only brand working on the foldable smartphone tech as we’ve seen multiple leaks and rumors about Huawei and LG trying to beat Samsung to the market with a similar product, and now Xiaomi seems to have a working prototype of their foldable smartphone as well. https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/1080870489990590464 In a video tweeted by renowned tipster Evan Blass, what looks like a tablet running on top of MIUI 10 can be seen folded and wrapped around its back from either side to form a smartphone that can be easily pocketed....

The market for miniature content streaming dongle has been maturing with an increasing number of options. In addition to Google’s Chromecast, users now also have the option to buy alternatives like Teewee 2. Lenovo’s Cast is a tad bit costlier than others, as Chromecast is priced at $35 while the Teewe 2 is priced around $37. Much like Chromecast, the Lenovo Cast is very easy to use. Users are required to either plug in the device to an HDMI port available on their TV or any other big screen or place it anywhere near them, configure (link) the device with their computer or phone, and start beaming content from a DLNA-supported or Miracast-enabled tablet or smartphone....

While the three phones cater to three different types of consumers, there are a few things that are common between them. This includes a metal unibody design, presence of a fingerprint sensor to the rear and a Snapdragon 430 octa-core chip which boasts of a four Cortex A530 cores clocked at 1.5GHz and four other Cortex A53 cores at 1.2GHx each. That aside, all three smartphones run on Android Marshmallow 6....

The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note comes powered by the good old octa-core MediaTek 6753 paired with 3GB of RAM as opposed to the 2GB on the K3 Note. On the storage front, the memory is still 16GB along with an microSD card that can further accommodate another 128GB. The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note is fitted with a 5.5-inch FHD display which offers a pixel density of 401ppi, a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and 450 nits brightness....

But not too many know the design wizard’s first really popular commercial product had very little to do with digital technology. It was made in 1986 during his internship (he was studying at the Newcastle Polytechnic) at the Roberts Weaver Group in London. It was incidentally here that Ive would meet one of the designers who would influence him and also be a close friend, Clive Grinyer (it was Grinyer who would famously say about Ive: “He looked like a hairbrush....

What every smartphone looks like What do smartphones look like these days? The tall display on front bundled with thin bezels and a drop notch? Plus a glass or glass-like back? This is definitely the latest template for smartphones across different categories and the Nokia 4.2 follows it to a T. It comes with a tall 5.7-inch display bundled with the latest design hygiene in smartphones, the drop notch. The screen is surrounded by thin bezels but comes with a slightly thick chin, which comes with ‘Nokia’ branding....

First things first – the Realme 5 Pro is definitely one of the most attractive looking devices in its price segment. We can have the glass vs plastic back debate forever, with each having its own virtues and vices but there is simply no doubting that the diamond-like etched back of the Realme 5 Pro will turn heads. The design might be edgy but the back itself is smooth, and you see colors change and reflect off it as you tilt the device in the light, with even the gold-bordered fingerprint sensor on the back looking catchy....

Samsung has attempted to do something similar with the Galaxy M51. 7000 mAh battery…in a surprisingly lean frame Just as Hero Honda had shown us that you could get terrific mileage from a motorbike that did everything else very well too, the Galaxy M51 delivers a huge battery and does so without cutting too many corners. We have had big battery phones in the past as well, but they generally tended to be bulky and slightly underpowered affairs, with not the greatest displays, cameras, or design....

Yuuguu is considered to be “By far the easiest way to share your screen, host online meetings and work in real time on the same documents over the web”. Previously, desktop sharing from Yuuguu to Yuuguu was working, now they have integrated the GMail/GTalk contacts to work with Yuuguu! How does this work? Once you have entered your Gmail or Google Talk account details into Yuuguu, your Gmail and Google Talk contacts will automatically appear in your Yuuguu contacts list....

Top 10 Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Features The mountain lion has finally awakened and comes to replace its southern predecessor with over 200 new features, as Apple brags. The number is more than flattering, but what will users really enjoy after installing the new version?

According to the latest data released by UC Web — a popular Chinese internet company best known for its mobile browser — about 65 percent of Indian users sport a phone that carries sub Rs 10,000 price tag. 38.2 percent of all such phones have a screen resolution of 800 x 480. The study also talks about the adoption of smartphones and internet usage in the country. And the numbers aren’t pleasing....

What is benchmarking? Benchmarking is a process that puts stress on your components to determine if they work properly and if the configuration and overclock is stable. Also, with benchmarking you get a score that you can compare with others to see who’s done the best job overclocking their computer. As a fan of overclocking and overvoltage, I know a few applications that can put your machine through its paces and tell you how good your computer is....

There are two demands that these incumbent operators have. The first includes reducing taxes on the industry and extending the timeframe within which telecom operators can pay for their spectrum purchase. We think this is a very reasonable demand as the telecom industry in India is one of the most highly taxed industries and extending the spectrum payment timeframe would result in the Government receiving the same payment from operators over a slightly longer timeframe but would help operators cut on debt to quite an extent....

To begin with, the Acer Swift 7 features a 13.3-inch Full HD IPS panel, Intel’s 7th Generation Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD and the Intel Kaby Lake chip, all operating under a completely fanless system. For design, Acer has opted for an elegant-looking aluminium unibody chassis with black and dark gold accents inside and out. There are two USB 3.1 ports, a headphone jack, and Acer promises a 9-hour of battery life which does sound quite too good to be true, although, we won’t conclude our opinions just yet....

It is a feature that, however, had been missing from the first and second generation of Apple’s highly popular true wireless earphones, the AirPods. These relied on a snug fit to keep ambient noise out, rather than generate frequencies to counter them (as happens in ANC). However, Apple recently released an upgraded version of the AirPods, the AirPods Pro and along with a new design, one of the features that it brought to the table was ANC....

With Apple Arcade, the company is trying to create a one-in-all gaming service across mobile, desktop, and living room. For which, it is creating a huge collection of games spread across various categories. In addition to that, it is providing close to a hundred exclusive game titles, that are only available for Apple devices. To keep things simpler, the company has decided to stick to just one subscription plan, which would indeed allow its users to access a huge variety of games across all their devices, without having to ever pay individually for a single title....

Unlike last year, Apple is expected to make some major changes in their MacBook lineup and this includes both their MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. In fact, the MacBooks have received very subtle updates for the last few years. This is especially applicable for the Retina Macbook Pro. Reports coming from various sources indicate that Tim Cook led company may ditch their 11.6 inch variant of the MacBook Air in favor of the 12 inch MacBook....
