Why use shortcuts? Apart from giving you quick access to the features that you use regularly and saving you from the trouble of unlocking your smartphone, looking up the feature or app, and then finally using it, having a number of useful shortcuts present on your Control Center can actually help your phone keep private and safe. These shortcuts on the Control Center can also be a massive savior when someone needs to use a certain feature and you do not want to hand them your unlocked phone for them to snoop around....

How to Buy a Printer How to Buy a Laptop How to Buy a Desktop PC How to buy a Digital Camera First of all, you have to know the basic terms in the world of photography. Many of you are quite aware with most of them, but this can be quite helpful for the newbies. So, let’s recap: 1. DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) This is a type of digital camera that usually has detachable lenses and a reflex mirror that allows live optical zoom through the lens taking the photo....

For instance, you can use the split-screen setup to have a browser window on one half of the screen and your note-taking app on the other to take notes more efficiently. Or you can open documentation and text editor side-by-side while writing code to save yourself from the multitasking hassle. Most operating systems, including the popular ones, such as Linux, macOS, and Windows, include split-screen as part of their screen management functionality....

HTC First: Facebook Phone A couple of days back, Android Police had dissected the apk of Facebook launcher (called Facebook Home) on HTC First. While doing so, they claimed that the first ever Facebook phone is manufactured by HTC, it’ll come with a 4.3 inch 720p screen, powered by a dual core Snapdragon S4 Plus processor, 1GB of RAM, 5MP rear camera, 1.6MP front camera, running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean OS and HTC Sense 4....

According to the listing, the smartphone is factory unlocked and only comes in black and white colors. The smartphone will officially be available on April 9, 2015, which is tomorrow. By the looks of it, it supports only AT&T and T-Mobile’s networks, so you won’t be able to get it to run on other carriers, at least for now. Here are some specs and features of the device that we currently know:...

1. Some heavy tech backgrounds – that’s Mi 2. The fire that inspired What inspired Lei Jun to get into tech in such a big manner? Well, he gives part of the credit to Paul Frieberger and Michael Swain’s best-selling book about the beginning of the PC revolution: “Fire in the Valley: The Making of the Personal Computer,” which he read while studying at Wuhan University in 1987. “I wanted to establish a company that was first class,” he said in an interview....

While the capacity has been upgraded a lot, Apple claims the iPhone 7 can last two hours more on regular usage. Although, we can credit primarily the new A10 Fusion processor for that as its 64-Bit Quad-Core arrangement includes two efficiency components and two for performance. Additionally, the A10 chip is said to be 40 perfect faster than the dual-core A9 SoC present on the 6S. To know further about the processor, you can take a look at our detailed story....

Like last year, Star Sports India is the official broadcaster for the Vivo IPL 2019 and they will be broadcasting the IPL 2019 in eight different languages – English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, and Malayalam. Globally, BeIN Sport has TV rights for live coverage of IPL 2019 in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Countries, SuperSport in South Africa, Willow TV in the USA, Geo Super in Pakistan, Flow TV in the Caribbean, and Lemar TV in Afghanistan....

This year at Tata IPL 2022 we will see two new teams – Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans, in addition to the usual teams like Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, and Delhi Capitals. Thanks to this, the fans’ excitement to watch IPL 2022 matches is relatively high. And thanks (but no thanks) to the Covid-19 pandemic; cricket fans are unlikely to get the pleasure of watching IPL live at the stadium....

When Steve Jobs revealed the iPad to the world in 2010, he positioned the device as something that was neither a keyboardless notebook nor an extended smartphone. Instead, it was what would be famously referred to as a “third screen” that came between a notebook and a smartphone, combining features of both and actually doing some things (such as browsing the Web and lasting longer on a single charge) better than both....

The new JioPhone comes with the much awaited Dual SIM functionality, as the gripe with the first edition was that it was a single SIM device, which was carrier locked to Jio, which meant users could not use their already existing SIM cards on their JioPhones, which now seems to be addressed. JioPhone 2 also sports a larger 2.4-inch QVGA display, a battery capacity of 2000mAh, and SD card slot with support for up to 128GB, a 2MP rear as well as a VGA front camera, 512MB of RAM coupled with 4GB of internal storage, and will have support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy, GPS, NFC and of course, VoLTE as well as VoWiFi....

Just like in the case of K8 Note, the company has skipped a generation in nomenclature and has hopped on K8 Plus directly from K6 Power (and about going from Power to Plus, that is another story). Now, the K8 Note lived up to its generation jumping name. Can the K8 Plus do the same? Tried and tested looks When we get into the budget band in the smartphone market, the first thing many manufacturers compromise on is the looks of the smartphone and something similar has happened in the case of the K8 Plus as well....

What had Dell done to deserve this? Well, a few weeks ago, when asked about what he would do to if he were the CEO of Apple (which was teetering on the verge of collapse and had recalled Steve Jobs), Dell had responded by saying: “What would I do? I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.” Ouch. Was Jobs really hurt at the remark? Or did he just use it to rev up and energize a team that had got accustomed to defeat for almost half a dozen years?...

Mind you, name apart, there is not too much that ties the 7.1 to the 7 Plus. If anything, the 7.1 is closer to the 6.1 Plus, with the same glass front and back, sandwiched between which is a metal frame (6000 Series Aluminium). The front is also remarkably different – blame THAT notch out there. Yes, the 7 Plus was a very striking device with its copper accents and ceramic paint metal back, but the 7....

Subtle Oppo is now a thing Many might agree that keeping it subtle is not really Oppo’s style when it comes to design. But that actually seems to have changed a bit with the Oppo F19 Pro+. The phone does not come with patterns or textures that jump out at you. And yet it manages to look very striking. The front of the smartphone is bossed by a tall display that carries the front camera in a punch hole on the top left corner....

Cut from the same Reno cloth Oppo has been one of the few brands in the industry that has dared to experiment with the looks and design of its smartphones. This was exemplified in the Reno, which had a very distinct, premium-looking design, with a shark fin pop up camera, the only one of its kind in the pop-up camera world. The Reno 2, now, is basically the Reno with a few differences here and there....

The U20 comes after the U10, which scored on its processing power and large battery at a surprising price. And well, those twin features are likely to be major attractions for the U20 as well. The phone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 chip, which is not too common at this price point (just as the Snapdragon 665 was not at the U10’s price) and once again brings a 5000 mAh battery to the fight, with an 18W fast charger as well....
