With the latest edition of the G series, however, Motorola seems to have finally come to the tech spec wars. To an extent anyway. In a manner that is rather reminiscent of a company with a fruity name in Cupertino, Motorola has opted to go for two versions of the fourth edition of the Moto G – one that seems to be sticking to its ‘experience over spec sheet’ positioning and another which seems aimed at those who like to check their spec facts and figures before investing in a device....

Whereas the Mi 4 rested on a steel frame (the company even made a film on it called The Journey of a Piece of Steel to drive home the point), the Mi 4i is unabashedly all plastic.

After using the app, I found that it is indeed pretty accurate and lets you easily get rid of quite a few of unwanted apps....

Cloud Storage – An Useful Tool in this Digital Era Everything changed in the past 6 months when I realized that I no longer can rely only on my laptop and various storage devices. My gmail account got hacked and I could have lost access to important documents that I used to keep on my free email account. And my troubles didn’t stop there. After a nice trip in Italy, I discovered that I accidentally deleted very important pictures (they were more important to my girlfriend than me) and I panicked for a moment....

The idea is quite straightforward — Whenever you connect to an unmetered WiFi, Chrome on Android will automatically begin offloading articles which it thinks is popular in your locality. In addition to that, if you’ve signed in with your Google account, the app will learn from your past browsing habits and download relevant content for offline use. When you no longer have access to the internet, Chrome will notify you about the available pages and you can simply check the Downloads folder in the app for reading them....

Thanks to the Automatic edge detection the app crops photos to the proper size and will also be able to set the orientation....

Let’s clear this out right away. Unlike Google Chromecast, HalfTicket TV isn’t meant for streaming content from your smartphone or tablet to your television (although that’s possible as well). Instead, it’s meant to work as a standalone device with Android on board, capable of streaming content from the internet directly on to your television. It’s not too tough to understand why this change of approach. HalfTicket TV is originally a “Curated Video on Demand Megastore” which hinges on “Content Discovery” which is surely a challenge considering how huge the internet as become....

Unique Design While the Honor 9X on first look would resemble any other modern-day mid-range smartphone with its glossy back and blue color scheme, you will see the finer details under direct lighting.
