At its core, there is an unnamed quad-core SoC powering the box, with likely a Mali 450 GPU. Assisting the processor is 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage....

The market is a little down The global smartphone market registered a small dip in Q3 2019 as compared to the same quarter last year – a decrease of 0.4 percent. Global smartphone sales were down from 389.04 million units in Q3 2018 to 387.48 million in Q3 2019. Gartner attributes this to consumers being more concerned about getting value for money. The report also hints that with 5G on the horizon, consumers are holding off purchases until 2020....

That’s exactly the purpose of Doob3D, a Germany-based company which thinks it can get consumers interested in ordering a 3D-printed figure of themselves and have it delivered at their doors. The company has four 3-D scanning booths in different locations throughout the world – Dusseldorf, Tokyo, Santa Monica Place in Los Angeles and one in New York City’s Chelsea Market. And it seems that their business is booming, as they are set to open new locations in the United States in the near future....

If you enjoyed the feature and would like to have it on your Mac, then the good news is that there’s now a free app for you to use. Simply called Chat Heads, the app is available as a free download in the Mac App Store, bringing the same Facebook Chat Heads functionality to your OS X device. The app connects to your Facebook account and puts the same avatar circles on your desktop, allowing you to start new conversations, continue previous ones, and use Facebook’s main chat feature....

As you all know, Microsoft has unleashed its biggest and baddest weapon, so far. A great addition to their impressive collection of Operating Systems and one that is truly unique. They call it simply: “Windows 8”, I call it “The best Windows so far”. Windows 8 has much more than a face-lift, nicer graphics, and a few transition effects; it’s been completely remade, and Microsoft had to rethink it from the ground up, albeit a lot of its actual architecture and security is based on Windows 7....

Well, Gionee seems to be looking to fix that. For in its latest software update to the device (take a bow for the updates, chaps), the company has not only indulged in the usual bug erosion, performance tweaks and added ten system languages, but has also brought in a “bokeh” mode for the selfie camera – for those from another planet, “bokeh” refers to the blurring of the backdrop around a sharply focussed subject (also referred to as “depth of field”)....

Looking at Reliance’s approach over the past few years — especially since the launch of Jio — the company has been striving to make data more affordable and connect a large number of people, untouched with the country’s digital revolution, to the internet. At first, it introduced 4G connectivity, and along with that, brought in new tariffs for data and call, which were comparatively lower than other carriers, in an effort to avail cellular connectivity and internet to the masses....

With Duo, calls are end-to-end encrypted, which is the main stand out feature Google claims this application brings to the table. Other already popular platforms including Skype or Google’s own Hangouts have yet to enable this feature. However, the thing you’ll get more excited about is a function called “Knock Knock”. Usually, with any other app, whenever you get a call from someone, you pick it up and then the video streaming on both ends commences....

In addition to boosting the pace at which your Pixel 2 processes images, the co-processor will now also allow third-party apps to leverage the company’s HDR+ technology. To kick things off, Google has introduced three partners — Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Instagram. Therefore, the quality of pictures you take on these applications should, more or less, match that of the phone’s native camera app. More apps should presumably follow in the coming months....

Storyboard The first one is an Android-only app titled “Storyboard.” Storyboard uses a series of algorithms to figure out the most attractive frames in a video automatically and transform them into a single-page comic with the appropriate filters. If you’re unsatisfied with the outcome, you can even pull down and refresh the elements of the page. Storyboard is free and currently limited to Android. Selfissimo! The next one is “Selfissimo!”, an iOS and Android app that tries to mimic the experience of a photo booth or “an automated selfie photographer,” if you will....

Manufacturing a chipset is no easy thing but with the required resources at place the ordeal can be eased out. The new Google Chip will be aimed at offering an enhanced efficiency and also boost the AI capabilities. All the while, they also need to take care that the chip is frugal enough despite the fact that it will be performing additional tasks. In all likelihood, Google’s features might be tailor made to support only their hardware in which case manufacturers would definitely lean towards the Google chipsets....

The highlight of the Android Wear 2.0 is the fact that one could install standalone apps on the smartwatch without actually linking it with a smartphone. Google has today revealed three such standalone apps that are in the making for the Android Wear 2.0. The first app is the Glide, an app that lets users live broadcast from their Android Wear 2.0 without fumbling for their smartphones. Also, the users can initiate conversations by just tapping on their contact shortcuts from the watch face....

Moto G6 vs RealMe 1 On first glance, it might seem like both the Moto G6 and RealMe 1 feature a glass exterior but the former of the two is the only one with an actual Gorilla Glass shell. In addition to that, the Moto G6 is even splash-resistant. The RealMe 1, on the contrary, is made out of plastic and a polymer composite material. A tall 1080p LCD screen is present in either case, although the RealMe 1 has a slightly larger 6....

At the Architectural Day event yesterday, Intel unveiled a new strategy to develop its upcoming processors, using which it will be able to break down different components of a CPU into individual elements, called ‘chiplets’. The process, as Intel calls – Foveros 3D, essentially stacks-up various components on a chipset. By doing so, the chipset can take advantage of extra processing power, memory, graphics, AI computing, etc by stacking individual elements on top of each other vertically, while shrinking down the size and still retaining the same or more computing power....

Although you can access Incognito mode in a regular way by opening your browser and opening a tab in incognito/private mode, or using a shortcut for the same, there are still a couple of steps that you need to follow to achieve this. However, using the power of scripts, you can avoid having to go through these steps every time you want to browse privately. How to Always Launch Google Chome in Incognito Mode On Linux Right-click on Google Chrome and select Properties....

Many people find it difficult to download videos online since most websites do not make them as accessible as they do with image downloads.
