The iPhone 14 is powered by the A15 Bionic, which is very similar to the one seen on the iPhone 13. However, there is a small difference – the chip on the iPhone 14 actually has an additional graphics core, as was seen on the A15 Bionic chips on the iPhone 13 Pro series. The general consensus among most tech experts is that, in most regards, the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 13 have the same heart....
Playing second fiddle to the X? After spending a considerable amount of time with the iPhone 8 Plus, we think we have the answer. And honestly, those who were dismissing the 8 Plus as the bridesmaid to the iPhone X seriously underestimated the device. For, notwithstanding its largely familiar appearance (the new colors and glass back notwithstanding), the 8 Plus is a significant improvement over its predecessor and might actually have its own points of appeal....
First with a Snapdragon 768 The highlight of the iQOO Z3 5G is its processor. This is the first phone in the country to sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 768. As its name indicates, this is an update over the much-acclaimed Snapdragon 765, and well, while the difference in performance from a Nord (the original) will not jump at you, the iQOO Z3 5G seems very snappy. Moreover, it has plenty of RAM and storage to spare – the variants are 6 GB/ 128 GB, 8 GB /128 GB, and 8 GB / 256 GB, with RAM being LPDDR4X and storage being UFS 2....
To begin with, WhatsApp has now baked in a newly revamped status tab which lets users see updates from their friends. Users can post images, videos, and texts like any other social website out there. The dedicated section functions as a timeline containing recent statuses from your contacts list. Additionally, there’s a little camera section on the left which directly allows you to publish and of course, you can doodle on images which were recently added on WhatsApp....
Design wise, LeEco has kept everything similar to the Le 2 Max with a metal unibody and chamfered edges. In terms of raw specifications, there’s a 5.5-inch Full HD 2.5D curved glass display up front and the device, as mentioned before, is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC clocked at 2.35Ghz. Additionally, it comes with 4/6GB LPDDR4 RAM with 32/64GB (UFS 2.0) storage that is not expandable, Adreno 530 GPU, and 4070 mAh battery underneath with Quick Charge 3....
While Lenovo is yet to make an impact outside the Chinese market as a smartphone vendor, it’s leaving no stones unturned to do so. A compelling product portfolio is key to success, and when it comes to the flagship, usually a showcase of the best the brand can put together, Lenovo definitely has a capable contender in its hands. The Lenovo K900 is what we’re referring to, and it certainly impresses in a lot of different ways — striking design, notable specs and loaded features....
Various Verizon and AT&T users have deluged a Reddit thread with complaints about backlighting issues on their V30 models. The handset seems to be facing difficulties in evenly illuminating the screen, thus creating inconsistencies throughout the panel on either side LG has employed its own OLED standard – P-OLED. However, it doesn’t feature any critical differences when compared to others. Customers further mention replacement units they received didn’t make situations any better....
OnePlus will be making the early build available for the OnePlus 6 owners who are interested in trying it out. The phone, however, I’m assuming, will come preloaded with a stable version of Android 8.1 with the company’s own OxygenOS skin on top. Apart from that, OnePlus did not specify any details regarding the next update of OxygenOS itself. This move partially seems like damage control for OnePlus’ history with software updates as of late....
Meizu C9 The Meizu C9 is the cheapest of the trio and the only one to feature a stock build of Android 8.0 instead of the company’s own Flyme OS skin. Apart from that, the phone offers entry-level specifications which include a 5.45-inch 720p screen, no fingerprint sensor, a quad-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, and a 3000mAh battery. It features a single 13-megapixel camera on the rear and an 8-megapixel snapper for selfies....
A Knight to Ogle There’s no getting around it – the Canvas Knight is drop-dead gorgeous. While we have seen Micromax up the design ante with the likes of the Canvas Turbo and Canvas Turbo Mini, the Knight takes matters to a different level. The company seems to have taken a page out of the Nexus 4 and Sony Xperia Z design books, placing a glass panel on the back of the device....
Design and looks: Brushed metal against Blue This is an incredibly close battle. Both devices are sleek in their own right, and the blue shade of the View 10 makes it a very different kettle of fish from others. But then the spherical camera unit makes the Moto Z2 Force a very distinct entity in its own right. The Z2 Force is also slimmer – 6.1 mm as against 7 mm – and lighter (143 grams as against 172 grams) than the View 10....
The MultiShare USB Jak by bCODA is one such tool that will definitely help you organize your files better. And it is very, very easy to set up – you don’t have to be a geek or even a tech savvy person to do it. The USB Jak makes the content in your Android smartphone and even your iPhone accessible to any external devices that have an USB connector, be it a computer, TV, speaker or even your car....
Robin is launched on Kickstarter for $299 and it is an overly boxy phone with a 5.2-inch FHD display, USB Type-C and is powered by the hexa-core Snapdragon 808 SoC tagged with a 3GB of RAM. Spec-wise, Robin is at par with premium flagships like LG G4, and if marketed aptly, it might be able to steal the show and also take away some of the LG Nexus & OnePlus 2 audiences....
For those who are not familiar, HERE is a free mapping service that works without an internet connection. Even without any data connectivity, the service allows users the offline navigation and provide them with the ability to search for places . Additionally, it allows users to download the maps for desired region over Wi-Fi and access those data while offline, if required. Until now HERE maps has been exclusively available on Windows Phone, and Microsoft’s Android-powered Nokia X platform (and iOS for a year, but it was pulled from the store last year)....
Repeated-routine design “Have we seen you before?” – well, that’s what went through our minds when we saw the Nubia N1. It is not that the phone is bad-looking, just that it follows a design that is becoming very common these days. Although the front of the smartphone is distinctly different, the back of the device reminded us of the Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime. The smartphone holds a metal unibody design and the build seems solid....
As already mentioned, the upcoming flagship smartphones from OnePlus will feature an OLED screen with Quad HD+ resolution, 10-bit HDR, and the most interesting, 120Hz refresh rate with a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The company says each of its screens is calibrated to accurate colors with an RGB color temperature sensor with a <0.8 JNCD (Just Noticeable Color Difference) rating. Further, it also suggests that the new technology offers a 4096-level automatic brightness level (over the current 1024-level), which is the highest in Android smartphones....
The Opera VPN app lets users select from a handful list of countries and also use the built-in ad-blocker on their phones. The company had also launched a paid Opera VPN Gold service on iOS and this offered better speeds along with more regions and dedicated customer care support all of this was packaged for $30/year. That being said, Opera has partnered with SurfEasy (the company that enabled Opera’s VPN app) and is offering an additional free 1-year subscription to SurfEasy Ultra VPN for those who had opted for the Opera VPN Gold on iOS....
The company had claimed to put the fastest multi-core processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB flash storage, had the incredibly tall task of raising $31 million been successful. Those specs sound a lot like what some Ultrabooks sport today. So, the idea is — since a phone today can be as powerful as a typical computer, it can run both type of Operating Systems — Android and Ubuntu. When used as a phone, you can use it like any other Android smartphone....
Flytube is a free app for Android phones which as the name suggests, allows you to view YouTube clips in movable and independent windows. You can lay it over any other application without any interruptions whatsoever. The pop-up window, additionally, can be moved and resized according to your preferences, and it also holds tiny little playback controls including a seek bar, play/pause and more for quick access. Unfortunately, you still can’t play them while keeping the phone locked due to Google’s restrictive guidelines....
So which of the two should you be going for? Design: Totally one-sided, and there’s no plus on that one! (Disclaimer: This is as one-sided as it gets. Yes, the Nord 2 is a good-looking phone, but it does not really stand a chance in the design battle against the Poco F3 GT. Sorry, not sorry.) The two phones are polar opposites when it comes to design, with one following a more traditional design blueprint while the other is anything but traditional....
