LeEco apparently expanded at a rapid rate last year and it seems that their rate of expansion has failed to match up with its revenue scale. Throughout 2016, it not only scaled up its portfolio with an array of products ranging from smartphones to Tesla competing for electric car; but also expanded to a large number of markets; including India and US. During the US launch at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, LeEco CEO Jia Yueting had revealed the company’s grand plans to set up its country headquarters in the recently acquired 49-acre plot....

In design terms, the Thump 504 does not do anything exceptional or get anything wrong for that matter. You get the usual earbuds with cable and an in-line controller and mic, both of which are in a single plastic unit, and of course the 3.5 mm audio jack. The earbuds are however made of metal (aluminum alloy, to be exact), which we think is a good touch, and even better is the fact that the cable used to connect them to a device is a flat one, significantly decreasing the chances of tangling and breakage....

But the iPhone is a much more mobile device, if I can say so, therefore many are looking forward to the moment when Apple brings this functionality to the world’s most profitable phone, as well. And this could happen as soon as this fall, when the new iPhones are expected to be unveiled, as FT reports that GSMA (the industry association which represents mobile operators worldwide) could soon announce an agreement to produce a standardized embedded SIM....

The Archos Oxygen 68XL has a 6.85-inch HD+ display with 218 PPI of pixel density and a unique appearance at first glance. Unlike the notch-ed smartphones that we have seen over the past couple of years, the Oxygen 68XL takes a completely different approach with its notch. Instead of putting a notch at the top-center of the display, Archos has re-thought the design and placed the notch on the top-right corner of the display, which differentiates it from the rest of the smartphones with a notch....

The Hunt Here’s the thing: My four-year-old HP laptop has been rotten to its core and other than raw performance, there’s nothing it can offer me. It still works, performs exceptionally well thanks to the i7 processor+8GB RAM but the battery lasts only thirty minutes and it heats like a burning oven. So a couple of months ago, when I was looking for a new portable workstation, I knew iPads were out of the frame due to their limitations and costs, and budget Windows laptops were just not tolerable....
