Echo Frames Echo Frames, as the name suggests, is a pair of all-day glasses with hands-free access to Alexa. These are prescription-ready glasses with Alexa support and you can just ask to make phone calls, set a reminder to pick up the dry cleaning when you leave work, add call the mechanic to your to-do list, listen to your favorite podcast, or control compatible smart home devices. With the VIP filter, you can control and hear only the notifications which matter the most....

So when in 2019, both Redmi and Realme decided to move up the price ladder with the K20 series and the X2 Pro, respectively, their efforts were met with some cynicism. Yes, the phones generally got good reviews but the perceived wisdom was that the two brands were so deeply entrenched as budget propositions that most consumers would not easily accept higher-priced offerings from them and would instead lean towards better known higher price segment players such as Oppo, Vivo, Samsung and of course, that darling of budget flagship lovers, OnePlus....

It was two minutes of a rather clever ranting and raving, the sort that will make most observers smile. Even my mum had a laugh at it, going “he sounds just like A***b,” although she was a little curious as to why “he is mispronouncing ‘opposition.’ His English seems so good otherwise.” Well, that pronunciation (mis- or otherwise) was perhaps the feature of the ad that most tech observers seem to have latched on to....

Update: Apple confirms it slows down older iPhones However, these accusations did not have any analytical or official base… until today. Geekbench founder, John Poole claims that Apple has been throttling your iPhone’s performance so that it doesn’t die at unusual levels. Through a series of tests performed on the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 7 running different iOS versions, Poole discovered that Apple has introduced a separate mode which becomes active when the battery begins to deteriorate....

Gionee India’s MD and CEO Arvind Vohra has the knack of getting the giggles going in any room, and yesterday was no different as he took the stage to announce his company’s association with some of the biggest tech retailers in the country – Croma, Jumbo, Hotspot, Mobiliti World, The Mobile Store and Planet M. The tie-up is expected to give the Chinese manufacturer, which has been doing surprisingly well in India (almost 6-7 per cent of the market in terms of value) a greater thrust in the big cities....

Yes, you can now have a 5-30 seconds window to reliably stop an email from being sent out. If only I knew about this feature when I was in high school. It could have saved me some embarrassment. But then again, a 16-year-old isn’t exactly capable of doing deep self-evaluation in mere 30 seconds. So this is how it works. Instead of being stowed away in the experimental Labs section, the Undo Send feature now lives proudly in the second-half of the General section in Settings....

In case you missed watching the live streaming of the keynote presentation at Google I/O 2012 today, you’d pay me to watch the amazing live demo of Google Glasses, presented by Google’s co-founder Sergey Brin and performed by a group of amazing athletes which included skydivers, hikers & bikers. The breathtaking demo started off with four skydivers, all wearing Google Glasses & in a live Google+ hangout with Sergey, dived from a helicopter right above Mascone West, which is where Google I/O is being hosted....

Unlike previous years, we don’t know much about what Apple & Tim Cook will be announcing at WWDC 2013 keynote today, which starts at 10am PT. Renowned Apple blogger, John Gruber thinks this is because of Time Cook’s promise of doubling down on secrecy of the products. For now, the new flatter design for iOS 7 is almost certain and possibly a new version of OS X might be announced as well....

Those headlines had surprised us when they first appeared on the horizon in 2014, following the surprisingly quick sales of the Xiaomi Mi 3 and Redmi 1S (we had written about it being a triumph and a tragedy, remember?). Today, we just nod wearily and carry on. For, like it or not, these flash sales where gadgets get sold out literally within seconds of becoming available have become a part of our digital existence....

AKG K371 BT – audio magic, wireless AND wired! Hands down my favorite headphones of the year. AKG had released the K371 earlier and they were studio quality headphones. The K371 BT tried to bring the same quality of sound to a wireless headphone, and they came very close. What they threw in as a bit of magic, however, was a cable connecting which to a 3.5 mm jack gave you close to the sound of the original 371....

But it always had a lot of room to improve and tons of rough edges that needed work to give it a polished appeal. Fast forward to 2017; we now have the fifth iteration of the Emotion UI that has come a long way from where it was. So what does the all new EMUI (as its popularly called in short) offer? Does it finally match up to the standards of its flagship hardware and design?...

Ultrabooks offer a good alternative to traditional laptops. These avoid (to some extent) overheating problems by using low-power components like mSATA SSDs or low-voltage processors and sometimes don’t have a dedicated video card, but these greatly increase the price of these devices. Nevertheless, with heavy usage even ultrabooks overheat and there have been thousands of users complaining of these issues. What causes laptop overheating Image Credit: http: caspercomputerrepair It’s important to know what causes overheating in laptops, as most of us have bad habits when it comes to the way we use these portable devices....

If you want to send a message to somebody natively using WhatsApp, you need to have their contact stored on your phone. There is no in-built option to enter a phone number while creating a new conversation....
