However, in terms of popularity, it is Apple’s AirPods that come out on top as one of the most popular TWS offerings out there — especially if you’re an iPhone user, in which case, the AirPods are more likely to be your preferred choice. With that said, like any other true wireless earphones, these (AirPods) are not immune to the inevitable mislaying problem either....

Well, after having used the device for a couple of days, my extremely qualified answer is: you know, it might well do just that! For the Nubia Z11 does have a lot going for it. And notwithstanding all the talk of specs and camera, perhaps what really hits you about the Z11 is its design. No, it is not exceptionally different, but it is very eye-catching nevertheless. We got the gold and black edition and have had to handle our share of queries about it....

The Design Novelty The Xiaomi Mix looks apart, thanks to its edge to edge display and the staggering 91.3-percent Screen-to-body ratio, something that almost eliminates the side bezels. Yet another interesting aspect of the design is the absence of earpiece and the relocation of front camera to the left bottom camera. This helps in maintaining the continuity of the display imparting it a fluidic look. The entire phone is crafted out of ceramic and this includes the ceramic back and the ceramic frame....

Gionee claims that its new smartphone has the largest capacity in the world, and that is probably true, as the single competitor that comes to mind is the little known Innos D600. The Marathon M5 comes with an extreme mode where 5% of the battery life can ensure up to 62 hours on standby. Furthermore, Gionee has equipped the device with dual charging chips for fast charging, as well. The new battery is a welcome improvement over the Marathon M3, which had a capacity of 5,000 mAh....

Originally discovered by Twitter user “@binoyxj”, it’s rather bewildering how the pirated content ended up on Google Play Music. One possible explanation is, of course, it has been hacked. However, that seems highly unlikely since there have been only a handful of tracks uploaded for now.

A review of the device itself. That might seem a little strange when you consider that for quite a long time, the main idea of giving a phone to the media was to get it reviewed. A review is generally a detailed look at different aspects of the phone – its design, performance, price and so on – and generally ends with some sort of score given to the phone and a recommendation to the readers as to whether it is worth investing in....

The Honor 9N changes that. The latest device from Huawei’s sister brand follows in the footsteps of its namesake the Honor 9 Lite when it comes to democratizing a perceived premium feature.
