The Galaxy Alpha comes with a 4.7-inch HD (720p) Super AMOLED display and is powered by an Exynos octa-core processor. It runs on the latest Android 4.4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz skin on top of it. There’s a 12MP camera with LED flash on the rear which supports 4K video recording, and a 2.1MP camera on the front for selfies and video calls. Much like the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy Alpha comes with a Heart rate sensor along with S Health 3....

If you are Galaxy Note 3 (N9000) user in India, you can go to Settings -> More -> About Device -> Software Update, and click on Check for Update to get the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat. This update includes stability improvements, bug fixes and performance improvements, in addition to KitKat specific features like camera shortcut on lockscreen, font changes, cloud print support etc. Samsung had released the KitKat update for SM-N9000 users in Russia few days back, and Indian roll out was expected to happen very soon as the Galaxy Note 3 model sold here is the same....

Sound for everything and everyone For, notwithstanding its array of features, the Sennheiser HD 458BT is mainly about its sound quality. It delivers the clear, warm sound that is a Sennheiser trademark. There is slight stress on the bass but never do the beats and other instruments overwhelm the vocals and other instruments. We would call it somewhere between the very warm and carefully tuned sound of Bose and the slightly more bass-heavy sound of Sony – and that is a very good place to be....

And after a year, Moto has now launched the successor of the Moto Z Play, the Moto Z2 Play and it comes with a set of new Moto Mods. While we absolutely love the existing Mods, we think there is still some scope for Motorola to broaden its Mod-orizon. So, here is a list of seven Mods that we would love to jam on our Moto Z devices: 1. Hard Drive Mod While most of the smartphone manufacturers are trying to keep up with the storage hunger of the consumers, we think a Mod could easily be the best solution to this problem....

Twitter is not just about functions and features A big error being committed by the authors of many of these pieces is to evaluate Twitter purely in terms of features. So any app or network that allows you to share or respond to messages with a community is being touted as a ‘Twitter alternative.’ Many even highlight extra features that other apps have – the ability to write longer messages, share longer videos, see fewer ads, and so on....

A new project on KickStarter wants to solve this problem by using a Donut – well, a Donut shaped power strip that can charge a bunch of travel adapters simultaneously. Mogics Donut can accommodate five US AC socket and two fast charging USB ports whereas the Mogics Bagel boasts of 4 Universal AC sockets plus one US AC socket and 2 fast charging USB ports. The best part is the size of the Donut and the Bagel, both are small enough to be dropped in the packet and utility wise they are better than the bulky old power strip which would gobble up a large space in your travel bag....

They’re opposites, really. Clarity is as simple as a keyboard can be on the surface. There are no special options, prediction bar or gesture typing. Clarity’s dedication to simplicity is almost to a fault. You have very little control over the typing process. It’s very hard to go back and correct a spelling mistake. And these little things leave you frustrated. Fleksy ($1.99, free 30 days trial available) on the other hand is immensely opinionated when it comes to typing on Android....

It caters to the price-sensitive Indian market where there aren’t a lot of options available other than ones from brands like Noise, Boult and some other generic rebranded pairs available online. While some may argue that the asking price of Rs. 4,999 is not exactly affordable, it still costs much lower than most options from Tier-1 brands while offering a similar experience. Let’s talk about the Tagg ZeroG in detail and tell you if it should be a part of your wish-list or not....

Some of these tools below also go beyond the scope of just limiting the time spent on browsing, or forbidding the installation of certain applications, and can actually go all the way to cutting internet access itself for the mobile device after a certain amount of time and more. Also, you will find a certain group of apps that can track the location of your kid, but we have consciously tried to stay away from those that record phone conversations or text messages....

Flagships have grown far more expensive of late. When Xiaomi launched the Mi 3 in India, and interesting it was towards the end of life of the product, the iPhone 5s commanded a price tag of Rs 53,500 in India. The Samsung Galaxy S5 had been launched at Rs 51,500. Even the relatively affordable Nexus 5 started at Rs 28,999. Fast forward to the current day and age and an “affordable” iPhone 11 is priced at Rs 64,900, while its Pro variant starts at Rs 99,990 and the most affordable Galaxy S20 starts at Rs 66,999 while its Ultra variant starts at Rs 92,999....

The new Nubia X comes with a 6.26-inch 1080p screen on the front which has almost no bezels on either side. That’s because the company has skipped the selfie camera entirely and instead, added a second 5.1-inch screen on the back. That allows you to simply click selfies with the rear camera and preview them on the phone’s rear. The additional display can even remain always-on for showing you several details such as the time, notifications, and more....

Only this time the prices have been surprising not in comparison with the competition, darlings, but with their own devices. I mean, that sweetheart Manu Jain (he’s so handsome! I said it again!) was comparing the Redmi 5 with a Motorola and a Samsung device in the launch video, but when he announced the prices, you know, I was wondering whether he should have also included some of his own devices in the comparison, no?...

But that is not all that has changed. The past years have also seen the Redmi Note lineup get long. Very long. From a single Note a year, Xiaomi moved to two Notes a year; fast forward to today, the Redmi Note 11 lineup this year already has five different Redmi Note 11s in the series. While this presents users with more choices, it also means buying a Redmi Note phone is not as simple as ‘adding the phone to your cart....

And well, in terms of sheer functionality, it certainly has the beating of the Apple Pencil that comes with the iPad Pro – it is designed in a pen-like manner and comes with a clip that can be attached to the Type cover, or even to your shirt pocket, and has a nice solid feel to it. There is also no embarrassing recharging mechanism – it comes with an AAAA battery that does not need to be recharged and which Microsoft claims lasts well over a year....

Apple Working on Thinner Keyboards for its Next Products? In the patent, we find the description for a low-travel keyboard which could be used for a very thin computing device. That makes us think either laptop computer, netbook computer or the new kind of desktop computers. The key caps appear to be made from a variety of materials and take the shape of a flat slab. If you ask me, the actual keyboard used in Apple’s products is already thin, I wonder how much thinner can the designers and engineers at Apple make it....

emails contacts web pages documents presentations photos I wish I could say the process of finding the best Android Printing Apps was difficult, but that would mean I’d have to lie.

There have been conventional ads, and clever ads too but the ones that we really remember are the wacky, edgy ones. No, they might not have always pleased the purist and some might even have been borderline offensive (hey, some have been removed from the official channels), but they always – and in all ways – grabbed attention. Which suited the brand just fine. Mind you, OnePlus does seem to have got a little more conventional with its advertising of late, but we are confident that the wackiness is still there, waiting under the surface to emerge....

While this isn’t possible officially, there are various workarounds that one could try. One of the easiest seems to be AirDroid 3, a tool used by Android users to transfer files, paste text and links and access contacts and messages from their Web browsers to their mobile devices. The software has been recently updated with a native desktop app for Mac and PC, which brings better notification handling and remote device control....
