This is not to say that the Mi brand has been totally absent from the Indian market. Yes, the phones have largely gone missing – the last Mi flagship to be launched in Indian was the Mi Mix 2 in the second half of 2017 – but the Mi brand has been more seen on televisions, air purifiers, fitness bands, and other products, leaving the phone arena largely to the Redmi series of devices....

The new Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps will replace the existing Office Mobile app for iPhone users and the apps on iPad are also getting an update to enjoy the same features. Microsoft also announced a “preview” of new Office apps for Android tablets, allowing users to sign up to join the preview at the Google Play store, with general availability being set for early 2015. Although anyone using an Office mobile app can now create and edit across the for free, an Office 365 subscription will still be needed for more advanced editing of Word docs, images and charts....

The fresh update brings the following new features: Weather information for your location Option to select your home wallpaper as the lock wallpaper Ability to hide the system status bar Better integration with the default device lock on Samsung devices running Kitkat Performance improvement and bug fixes I have downloaded the app on my Android smartphone and can gladly recommend it to anyone. It’s one of the best free lockscreen apps currently available on the Play Store, so if you’re looking for such a tool, there’s nothing that can stop you to get it....

While the GIF feature is already added to the toolbar, the location and the calendar features will be arriving soon. The location sharing will initially be available in India and the US. SwiftKey users will be able to send the address of a nearby location in a message. The calendar feature will allow users to create appointments and reminders directly from their keyboard and insert the same on messaging platforms....

The Phone Case in itself serves multiple purposes apart from offering better lens. The lens can be screwed to the case within seconds and according to Moment, this is the only case that lets you attach the lens on either side the case. The case will also come baked in with a 2,500mAh/3,500mAh power bank that is literally expected to double the battery backup. That said users can either opt for a phone case without the battery....

The first one and perhaps the most important is a brand new Apple A7 chip which integrates a powerful CPU and a GPU to match the computation. Besides being simply faster, this new-generation unit is the very first 64-bit chip mounted on a smartphone, opening a new age in technical battles and also, in development. [Update: Looks like, it was Huawei who had the first 64-bit smartphone, with Ascend D Quad, way back in February 2012] The iPhone 5s also comes with an M7 motion sensing co-processor, which helps the phone keep a better track of all included sensors, like a gyroscope, accelerometer and proximity....

Nokia 6.2 Display The Nokia 6.2 has a 6.3-inch Full HD+ display with a water-drop style notch. While it’s pretty normal for a phone in this segment, the unique factor is the support for HDR content. The display on the Nokia 6.2 is HDR-enabled all the time, meaning irrespective of the content you are viewing, you are going to see it in HDR thanks to active SDR to HDR conversion....

Nokia Lumia 920 to have wireless charging and PureView technology We’ve already been pleasantly surprised by the wireless charging ability in the Samsung Galaxy S3 (via the wireless charging kit), and we’re quite sure the owners were happy to say good-bye to another cord in their life. Nokia Lumia 920 could have some sort of a magnetic strip in its back to be able to support wireless charging. What’s different from the feature in the Samsung Galaxy S3 is that Nokia’s first Windows Phone 8 handset could make use of the Qi wireless power standard which means it could be compatible with other wireless charging products....

In addition to that, the Bullets Wireless are water and sweat resistant so that you can jog out in the rain with them. They’re also compatible with quick charging and can be topped for 5 hours of use within ten minutes. On a single charge, the Bullets Wireless can last up to eight hours. The best part of that is you can connect them to any USB Type-C cable, not just the bundled one....

In short, the code is part of Hydrogen OS open beta (meant for China) which was recently merged with Oxygen OS (meant for global) and is completely inactive. That means no data was getting uploaded from the clipboard app. In fact, the badwords.txt file is meant to filter out the type of text NOT to upload, even for Chinese users. In HydrogenOS, our operating system for the China market, the identified folder exists in order to filter out what data not to upload....

You will have some very smart-looking phones out there, and there will even be the odd flash of innovation, but by and large, the stress is more on the spec readout than the design feel. So you will often end up with plastic backs and frames (not that we mind either, as long as they last), and even when you do get glass on front and back, the effect is more towards being smart rather than spectacular....

Qualcomm’s Quick Charge (QC) technology was first introduced back in 2013. And at that time, the protocol offered a maximum power of 10W. In the following year, the company announced its second iteration, Quick Charge 2.0, which featured on a comparatively large number of Qualcomm’s SoCs and offered up to 18W of maximum power. A couple of years down the line, we had the Quick Charge 3.0 protocol with more advanced features and a maximum power of up to 36W....

The Snapdragon 675 was a moderately powerful mid-range chip for its time and made its debut in India with the Redmi Note 7 Pro. It was touted to be faster than even some 700 series chips from Qualcomm like the Snapdragon 710 so it is fair to say that the Snapdragon 678 will in most probability be a good follow-up. Qualcomm seems to be focusing majorly on the immersive entertainment aspect of the Snapdragon 678 with claims of upgraded performance, improved camera features, and enhanced streaming capabilities....

Realme X2 Pro The X2 Pro flaunts a 6.55-inch FHD+ display with a 91.7% screen-to-body ratio and 2400 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. It offers HDR10+ support, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 135Hz touch sampling rate, and includes a Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top. At its core, the device is powered by a 7nm octa-core Snapdragon 855 Plus with Adreno 640 GPU, coupled with 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB of RAM and storage configuration....

Realme X2 Pro: When the battery leads the charge When was the last time that the first thing you noticed about a flagship phone was how fast its battery charged? Well, perhaps in the early days of OnePlus and its much talked about Dash Charge. But even then, there was a lot to talk about and the battery was just one of the topics that caught one’s attention. Well, that’s not quite the case with the Realme X2 Pro....

Standard Chromebook specs…and with a handle too! That might well be the case, for in terms of other specs, the Nexian Air ticks all the boxes. Like most Chromebooks, it comes with a 11.6 inch 720p HD TFT display (no, it is not a touchscreen), 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, a 1.0-megapixel camera for video calls, a couple of USB ports, an HDMI port, a memory card slot (with support of up to 64 GB) – all of which runs off a 1....

Before we look at what NEON is, it is essential to understand what it is not. A NEON is not your regular AI assistant that gives you weather updates or plays music for you, nor is it an android or a copy of real humans. What this means is that each NEON is a unique and individual Artificial Human, and at no point in time can it be an exact copy of a human....

And to give Samsung credit, the Korean brand has not really cut too many corners in this regard. As we pointed out in our first cut of the product, the A50 cannot be called a lightweight in any department by any stretch of the imagination. Right from the 6.4-inch full HD+ Super AMOLED display to the Exynos 9610 processor (just a notch below the ones seen on the flagship S series) backed with 4 GB and 6 GB of RAM to the under display fingerprint scanner to the massive 4000 mAh battery to the triple camera set up on the back, which in itself is beautifully crafted and reflects light in different patterns, in spite of being carbonate rather than glass, the Galaxy A50 radiates a level of class that is a clear cut above most of its mid-segment counterparts....

There’s no denial that Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is one of the most anticipated phones of 2016. So it isn’t quite a surprise to see the large number of rumors that are doing rounds in the web over the past weeks. While it is already confirmed that the flagship Note 7 is launching on August 2 globally, no information regarding the India launch were known so far. Well, it seems that the India launch isn’t far away....

Glassy, so glassy We have not really had the opportunity to keep the phones next to each other (neither has been released yet), but in terms of sheer design, we do think this is a very close call. Both phones are mainly glass affairs. The S9 does tend to look more, well, familiar because well, it is a dead ringer for the S8 from many angles with its tall frame....
