Thus, the devices in Sony’s Open Device program can now run a preview build of Android M, which was available until only on Nexus devices. Of course, the preview build is mainly meant for developers, but several Xperia owners who want to flash a developer preview image can now do so freely. The Android M preview has been released for the following smartphones: Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Table Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z Ultra Xperia E3, Xperia M2, Xperia T2 Ultra, Xperia T3...

On the front, it offers a 5-inches Full HD 2.5D curved glass panel which should attract a lot of buyers who’re looking out for smartphones with smaller displays. It is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Quad-Core processor clocked at 2.15GHz along with a generous 4GB of RAM, 64GB internal storage and Adreno 530 GPU. There’s a non-removable 3500mAh battery pack underneath stuffed together with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3....

There’s also a new $25 smart plug which can be linked to Alexa allowing you to individually label it and simply say specific commands such as “turn off the bedroom light”. It works alongside a compatible Alexa-enabled device like Echo, Fire TV, Fire tablet, Sonos One, or even just the Alexa app on your phone.

Currently, a lot is happening in the DTH and IPTV scene in the country. Earlier this week, Airtel launched its first Internet TV set top box at an introductory price of Rs 4,999 for the initial three months. Apart from that, Reliance Jio too is rumored to launch its IPTV service soon.

We got the Iris Purple edition of the device and well, we have had queries about it whenever we have left it back upwards on the table. Not only is that shade unique, the glass back actually seems to change color as light falls on it from different angles, morphing from blue to purple at times. This is easily the most striking device we have seen for a while, and goes right alongside the red OnePlus as a head turner, although we doubt the black edition of the phone will attract as much attention....

To be fair, though, the brand has not just been randomly increasing its price tag. There have been changes made to the device, ranging from new displays to better cameras, larger batteries and of course the design itself. And it is the design that hits you right away about the OnePlus 6. The most significant change, of course, is the fact that the brand is using glass backs in the variants it has released....

Right. Digest that. And take our word for it, nothing really comes close to it at this price, not even its own SuperZoom-less sibling (which loses out on OIS and other camera muscle). And that in our books is what makes the Realme X3 SuperZoom special. Yes, we know that there will be a lot of talk about the Superzoom – it can go up to 60X digital zoom – and the special Starry Mode (which lets you take pictures of stars at night), but take it from us, do not go by the Superzoom in the name....

Bringing a Snapdragon 870 to sub-Rs 30,000 What makes the Mi 11X a huge disruptor is its price tag. It comes with what we call “crazy Xiaomi pricing” – starting at Rs 29,999 for 6 GB/ 128 GB (you get the 8 GB/ 128 GB variant for Rs 31,999). That price segment is generally occupied by devices that have slightly older flagship processors, or variants of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 700 series....

What this means is, anyone with a bare minimum knowledge on hosting/domain registration etc can signup for an account and get started within few minutes. And many a times, people grossly misuse this facility by indulging in illegal and unethical activities. One of them is PLAGIARISM. Plagiarism refers to “use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one’s own original work”...

It also is a victory for what is perhaps one of the most clever pricing strategies that we have seen for a single phone model in the Indian mobile phone market. Which is the reason why Poco was able to make the claim of being the number one in the online smartphone market of Rs 15,000 and above – it simply had variants in different segments. Of course, many phones release different variants of devices, but their pricing more often than not keeps them within a similar price segment – the most expensive OnePlus or iPhone will still be roughly within the same price segment as its base variant....

1. Infinix Hot S3 Infinix’s new Hot S3 presents a rather concerning threat to the Note 5 as it tries to establish its presence in the second-biggest smartphone market. The company has managed to cram a slew of tempting features into a relatively affordable package. The Hot S3, for starters, comes with an arguably better design and runs on Android Oreo out of the box. It also carries a 20-megapixel selfie camera which is markedly better than the Redmi Note 5’s 5-megapixel lens....
