And as the virus-ridden year comes to an end, here is a (very individualistic) look at the phones that really caught our eyes this year, in chronological order of release in India: Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite – This Lite beats the Ultra, plizz to Note! January 21, 2020 It might have made spec chasers drool with the Ultra variants of its S and Note series later, but Samsung began 2020 with lite versions of its two flagships, the S10 and the Note 10....

What are Indie Games? For those who don’t know what Indie games are, let me clear it up: Indie Games, or Independent Games are video games developed by individuals or small developer firms that do not have a well known publisher. These games are often overlooked by many, but truth be told, some are quite nice. They have moderate graphics, but that is not the purpose of the developers. They don’t want you to buy the latest video card in order to play their games, but concentrate on the true purpose of gaming, and that is the feel of the game and the gameplay....

We thought the feature has finally been confirmed after few beta revisions and it seemed that WhatsApp will be sticking to the Google Drive backup feature for good.

However, instead of leaving me all excited about the future, these new smartphones, in my opinion, present a rather convoluted and ambivalent situation for someone looking to purchase a new iPhone. On one side, you have the iPhone 8/8 Plus which is a good but more evolutionary and expected.
