This led to a lot of questions being asked by consumers to the brands as to why a banned application was pre-installed on their smartphones, that too as a system app which meant that it could not be uninstalled easily by a general user unless they used a workaround. As a result, most brands did update their privacy policy to remove any traces of Clean Master or Cheetah Mobile from their documentation as well as removing CM’s definitions inside the app....

But at the end of the day, browsers are apps too. And it can get a tad messy when you’re trying to do everything on one application especially while juggling between hundreds of tabs and tons of windows. Enter Workona, a Google Chrome extension which brings the concept of workspaces to your browser. Workspaces, on Workona, are nothing but your work divided in multiple windows which, of course, begs the question — What’s the purpose of installing a third-party tool then if it’s just creating new windows?...

Xiaomi Mi 10: Design and Display Talking about design first, the Mi 10 comes with an all-glass body with a curved panel on the back, with a quad-camera array in a vertical arrangement. Towards the front, it has a 6.67-inch OLED curved panel with a punch-hole cutout on the top-left for the front-facing camera. The display offers a 90Hz refresh rate, and it comes with HDR10+ and DCI-P3 color gamut support, along with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top....

For a refresh, the Note 4G sports a 5.5-inch 720p IPS display. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor clocked at 1.6GHz, coupled with 2GB of RAM and 8 gigs of internal storage. The dual-SIM capable phone supports 4G LTE, 3G, Wi-FI and other connectivity options. Launched in November last year, the Redmi Note 4G has been a sleeper hit for the company. The phablet, much like company’s other smartphones was sold through Flipkart on flash sales and managed to move thousands of inventories in quick successions....

Update: Another loophole detected. Windows 8 Promo Code Gaffe Lets Anyone to Upgrade for $14.99 Yes, it does make business sense to rope in as many genuine buyers as possible, but it’s still surprising that Microsoft is willing to sell them the latest OS version at a nominal price of $39.99, a huge discount of $130 over the final retail price. Users in several underground forums are reporting that they were able to upgrade and activate Windows 8 Pro after legally purchasing it for $39....

But which of the Redmi Note 5 Pro or the Mi A2 is the device for you? We attempt to find out: Looks: Sia-Mi-se Twins? Perhaps in no department is the battle between these two devices so close. For, right from the 5.99-inch 18:9 aspect ratio display to the jutting out vertical capsule like dual camera unit on the back, the Mi A2 and the Redmi Note 5 Pro seem to spring from the same design roots....

Design and appearance: The notch “drops” in to make a difference This is really a clash between style and substance. Neither of the two devices is going to win any design awards but instead, focus on being solidly built. In terms of sheer appearance, the Galaxy M20 would perhaps catch more glances with its dark blue and glossy back which can be mistaken for glass from a distance, but we can see people liking the blue and red shades and also the metal back of the Redmi Note 6 Pro, which seems simply more solidly built....

The ROG Phone 3, on the other hand, did not solely rely on undercutting the competition in terms of price but also delivered much-needed improvements and an overall package that was hard to ignore for a consumer looking to buy a flagship smartphone regardless of whether they were gamers or not. In fact, we even recommended it over the OnePlus 8 Pro to some people based on the sheer value and price-to-performance ratio that it offered....

Honorable Design The 20i is built and designed in the typical Huawei/Honor fashion. It was Honor who pioneered the fancy gradient finishes on the back of mid-range smartphones and what made them stand out once upon a time has now become a norm in this segment. That doesn’t take away the fact that the Honor 20i looks and feels great in hand. Despite the 164g weight, it feels light and compact during usage....

For, make no mistake about it, the latest OnePlus ticks most of the boxes you would expect on an Android flagship. It is very sleekly designed and is made of premium materials (glass front and back), is powered by a flagship-level chip (Qualcomm Snapdragon 865), has oodles of RAM and storage to spare, supports 5G, and comes with a good camera arrangement. Oh, and for good measure, it also throws on the latest Android....

The R-Rated Pea from the OnePlus 9 Pod The OnePlus 9, the OnePlus 9 Pro, and the OnePlus 9R are basically peas of the same pod, the OnePlus 9 pod. And this commonality reflects in their design language. Much like the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro, the OnePlus 9R will also fulfill all your premium desires. Keep the three OnePlus 9s next to each other and they would look more like triplets born minutes apart rather than just ordinary siblings, which we think is a major plus design-wise....

Not glassy, but flashy It is the glassy-flashy design era that is ruling the smartphone business right now and Oppo has taken a walk down the same route. Only a little less glassy and a little more flashy. While smartphones take pride in sporting a glass back nowadays, the Oppo K1 creates a perfect glassy illusion which means, it looks like it has a glass back but it actually does not....

A 6.3-inch Screen That Doesn’t Require a Gymnastics Lesson The Vivo V9, first and foremost, is all about that screen. That humongous 6.3-inch Full HD+ screen that never ceases to amaze me every time I unlock it. Apart from a narrow chin and of course, that notch, the V9’s display is nearly edge-to-edge. Although I personally would have preferred an OLED panel. That notch also holds one of the key features of the Vivo V9, the 24-megapixel selfie camera....

I myself fall victim to this problem, and I was very pleased to know that my Nexus device could use some form of external storage. Now I’ll show you how you can add external memory to your device. This will be particularly useful for Nexus 7 users, because the tablet, apart from not having SD card support, it has only 16GB or 32GB memory, but after formatting the tablet, you are left with a bit over half its size....

Martial Arts, RDJ and some OP7 Pro The 33-second ad, very simply called, “Robert Downey Jr Presents OnePlus 7 Pro” is a series of clips of Robert Downey Jr performing martial arts, interspersed with OnePlus 7 Pro product images. It starts with RDJ bowing down in the traditional martial arts manner, followed then a visual of the OnePlus 7 Pro, highlighting its cameras, with lenses literally popping out of the frame....
