Striking the right notes Let us get straight to what really matters – for their price, these truly wireless earphones sound very good indeed. Part of the reason might be the 14.2 mm drivers (which are actually among the largest in the TWS segment), but knowing how loosely driver size is linked to actual performance, we feel Xiaomi has just worked a little extra on the tuning of these earphones....

The app surprisingly has the same name as Instagram’s Hyperlapse app which the Facebook-owned company released last year. But the oddity goes a week further. Microsoft Research division had posted a teaser about this new technology a week before Instagram released this is as a standalone app. Before you install the app on your phone or computer, do note that Hyperlapse isn’t going to speed up your hour long shaky videos....
And now Microsoft seems got itself back into Selfiestan (thank you for that term, Gionee – really!) with another new app that seems targeted at the selfie-snapping crowd – Sprinkles (or “Sprinkles – Camera With Fun Ideas,” to give it its full designation), which is currently iOS-only. Yes, we said “seems” because Microsoft itself has not said that the app is meant for just selfies but in the age of Snapchat and the like, we see this being very popular in the “go snap yourself” segment....
Look, ma, the G5 Plus with a removable back! The build of the G series has been very plasticky from the very beginning but the G5 Plus and the G5 have changed the game with their metal body avatars. The metal body immediately makes the G5 feel more expensive than its predecessor, the G4, which had a plastic body. The two devices look like identical twins at first glance, but the differences are easily spotted if inspected closely....

Update 2: We did some digging around and it seems that the notification only addresses the earlier standing order which had a flat rate of 41.492% for any item costing over Rs 2,000. That limit has now been increased to Rs 50,000. So any item whose CIF value is less than Rs 50,000 will be assessed at appropriate duty rates (usually between 2 to 28%), and not at a flat rate of 41....

The Pixel, the Pixel 2, and the Pixel 3 series were all released early in India. And the releases were very high profile, with a high degree of influencer marketing and a very prominent advertising campaign as well....
