Right from its design, which screamed “gaming” at us with its orange accents (https://techpp.com/2018/12/20/asus-rog-phone-design-opinion/), etched patterns on the backside and arrow-shaped camera unit and speakers; to its performance, which spurred by an overclocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, 8 GB RAM and a great AMOLED display with 90 MHz refresh rate and excellent sound, was among the best we have seen on any device, the ROG phone was anything but routine and predictable....

So which of the two Redmi devices is the one for you? Here is a rather quick comparison to help you make up your minds. Looks are more Note-able Their mum might be Redmi, but the Note 7 and Y3 follow very different design aesthetics. Yes, both have displays with drop notches, but the Y3 has a more curve-y back while the Note 7 has a relatively flat one. Both have different versions of the Aura finish, but although the Y3 is not an eyesore, we think the Note 7 seems just a little more premium thanks to the use of Gorilla Glass 5 on the back (the Y3 has a carbonate back)....

Windows 8 was launched with much fanfare a few weeks ago and definitely represents a bold new step forward by the world’s most popular computer operating system. Unfortunately, if reports are to be believed, people are not exactly moving to it in the kind of numbers that some pundits (and perhaps – perhaps – MS itself) expected.
