Instagram is mostly focused on celebrities that made it big by using Instagram as an outreach platform. In other words, the focus is more on homegrown celebrities rather than traditional ones. Apart from helping Instagram increase its engagement, the newer videos will also shift the spotlight on the creators. Perhaps this will help the creators leverage their reach in a whole new way. The IGTV hub can also be accessed via a standalone app....

Google has always shown an interest in smartphone hardware. In the beginning were the Nexus devices, then came the Android One program and now the Pixel line of smartphones. On most occasions, Google has partnered with manufacturers, and it even acquired Motorola for a whopping USD 12.5 billion. And it has recently acquired part of HTC’s team for USD 1.1 billion. The HTC team acquisition is primarily focused on on-boarding the engineering and design team....

Recently, we have seen the buzz of Virtual RAM on Android devices with the likes of the Vivo X60 Pro that comes with Virtual RAM by default, and cases like the Redmi Note 10 Pro which received the Virtual RAM functionality with a software update. So does that mean our childhood jokes of ‘Download extra RAM’ have turned to reality now? is Virtual RAM on Android devices really useful? The answer is very interesting!...

The Jio’s feature phone will come equipped with a 2.4-inch display, and Reliance Retail has apparently partnered with both Qualcomm and Spreadtrum for its chipsets. Furthermore, Reliance is expected to launch two handsets both of which will be paired with the 512MB RAM and on the storage front, it will offer 4GB of internal memory along with a slot for microSD card. The imaging arrangements on the feature phone will be bare basics and include a 2-Megapixel sensor on both the sides....

As per a report by Breitbart, LeEco has paid nearly $143 million more than what Yahoo had incurred to acquire the land back in 2006. Incidentally, the plot located near Levi Stadium, which the Chinese firm has now acquired at a rate of $5.2 million per acre had been lying unoccupied for the past few years and was only being used occasionally for parking a few vehicles. The report further reveals that LeEco is approved by the city government to build a 3 million square feet office space, housing nearly 12,000 employees on the aforementioned plot....

As reported earlier the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus comes with a 10.1 inch 2K display upfront. That aside the premium tablet sports a metal unibody design and a set of four JBL speakers. The tablet also comes with a Dolby Atmos certification thereby promising a top-notch sound quality, especially via its external speakers. Under the hood, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus comes powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 652 chip which consists of a cluster of four Cortex A72 clocked at 1....

With the Vibe X3, however, the company seems to have stepped away from this two phones for two audiences philosophy. Yes, yes, we do know know that rumor is rife about the existence of a Z3 Pro or a Z3, but even if that device does come along, we can still see the geek brigade queuing up for the Vibe X3. The reason for this is three fold: the spec sheet, performance and price....

Why “kidney” jokes? But have you ever wondered how buying an Apple product somehow invoked kidney-selling feels? It is not like there aren’t other extreme and highly illegal measures one could take in order to get enough money to buy an Apple device. For instance, one could: rob a bank, kidnap someone rich for ransom or simply do something idiotic enough to go viral over the Internet All of which often results in cash without having to really sell organs or harming oneself....

The #BoycottChina initiative started with the uninstallation of Chinese apps and has spread to products, primarily smartphones. As a country, it’s always desirable to be self-sufficient and encourage local brands in the hope to boost the plummeting economy. ‘How valid’ is the initiative is best decided by individuals, but ‘how practical’ is it? Let’s discuss this. The number game The Indian smartphone market is dominated by the Chinese-headquartered OEMs for the past half a decade or so....

And now, a new chapter has been added to the 2019 rivalry with the Redmi Note 8 Pro and the Realme XT confronting each other and claiming to be the best option in this highly competitive segment. Both come with quad cameras with 64-megapixel main sensors, large displays, big batteries and offer terrific performance for relatively not too much money. But if you had to pick one of the two, which would you go for?...

In fact, in spite of boasting the biggest display we have seen on an iPhone – 6.5 inches (would that make Steve J turn in his grave? Another story, another time, folks) – it is actually… wait for it… it is actually smaller in size than the iPhone 8 Plus, which had a display that was 5.5 inches. The XS Max is 157.5 mm long, 77.4 mm wide and definitely on the thinner side at 7....

For, let’s face it, at Rs 19,990, the Galaxy A50 offers staggering value for money. And that’s even before you look at its spec sheet. The front of the device is all about the 6.4-inch super inch AMOLED display with a full HD+ resolution and drop notch. But we wager that what will really catch attention is its back, which although made of carbonate, reflects light in a manner that is reminiscent of the flagship S10+ – we have never seen such patterns of light and color emerge from the back of a device at this price point....

More compact… And well, it looks very smart and stylish in a classy way. Now, do not get us wrong – we did think the OnePlus 7T was a very different and distinct-looking phone, and the OnePlus 7 was not too bad either (if a little too glossy), but the OnePlus 8 has a much more refined feel to it. And this is when we got perhaps the most low-profile color variant of all to review – the Onyx Black (the Glacial Green has been making headlines and the Interstellar White is not too far behind)....

The R-Rated Pea from the OnePlus 9 Pod The OnePlus 9, the OnePlus 9 Pro, and the OnePlus 9R are basically peas of the same pod, the OnePlus 9 pod. And this commonality reflects in their design language. Much like the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro, the OnePlus 9R will also fulfill all your premium desires. Keep the three OnePlus 9s next to each other and they would look more like triplets born minutes apart rather than just ordinary siblings, which we think is a major plus design-wise....
