To be clear, the international warranty is applicable on unlocked iPhones only. The carrier-locked iPhones do not come under this package, even if you unlock them with unofficial methods. Apple has always provided global warranty for products that are portable (with some applicable riders), except for the iPhone. That used to create a lot of confusion to the users. Thankfully, the new changes make it a level playing field for all devices....

The ASUS BR1100 is available in two models in India, the BR1100C and the BR1100F. Both models have the same build quality and are powered by the same chipset. The BR1100F model has a 360-degree tiltable touchscreen and a stylus. The regular BR1100C has a 180-degree hinge for the screen and does without the touchscreen and stylus, making it more affordable. The device we tested is the ASUS BR1100C....

There’s a backlit keyboard with 1.4mm key travel, dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 for connectivity and you can choose from up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage.

Of course, there are other ways to speed up computers, without using other programs, but those require money to be invested, such as buying more RAM, or buying a SSD drive, or even installing Windows 8, that has really revamped its boot up process, now taking much less time than what it used to (but with all of this innovation, some users still want to downgrade to Windows 7)....

Chromebox: No, Google Hasn’t Abandoned Chrome OS And now, we have received proof that Google is not done tackling the Chrome OS idea. Information about pricing and specs regarding the upcoming Chromebox, a device that will be released in a partnership with Samsung, have leaked online. A prototype of the device was showcased during the CES but since then, no new information surfaced about it. If the information is to be believed, the new ChromeBox miniPC (now for sale at TigerDirect) will come packed with a 1....

But two years in technology land is a long time. Chromecast needs an upgrade. Badly. You see, I have this perfect wireless media center fantasy (as one does) that I’m now realizing might never come true. I want to sit on my couch, use my phone to play something on my TV. And it works. I don’t need to fiddle with settings or restart or curse. This, of course, is a fantasy....

Does Google store every search I do? Every time I start up my Chrome browser, I find that all the previous searches I have done are stored, whether from the Google search box or when I’m actually on the Google home page. No, it’s not Google who is storing the info, rather it is your browser. How to Delete your Google Search History? The search box on the Google homepage displays query suggestions both from your own previous searches and other relevant queries....

Dell’s Latitude series is a perfect fit for such requirements. Specifically, the Latitude 15 9510 2-in-1, which we have been using for a few weeks now, is built like a tank, has powerful innards, a wealth of AI features, and can also transform into a touchscreen tablet on the go. All this, however, comes at a hefty price tag of Rs. 2,10,000. Is it worth spending money on the Dell Latitude 15 9510 2-in-1 when there are much cheaper options from other brands with the same specs?...

Massive. There are no two words about this. Right from the box packaging to the first time you hold the phone, the Lenovo Phab 2 Plus feels massive even for my big palms. I was instantly reminded of the Xiaomi Mi Max which also carries a 6.44-inch display. But the Phab 2 Plus feels bigger and bulkier than the Max. At 173.9mm, it’s taller than the 173.1mm Max, has the same width of 88....

The good news is that the GMail team has increases the maximum allowable limit of the attachment size to 25 MB from the previous limit of 20 MB. This is obviously nice to hear since GMail users can pass on files/data upto 25mb per email easily without having to look for third party file sharing websites like Rapidshare. But the catch here is that you may not be able to send larger attachments to contacts who use other email services with smaller attachment limits!...

According to a new report on The Information, Google is developing an operating system for low-power IoT devices. These low power devices are powered by as little as 32MB RAM. Codenamed “Brillo,” the operating system is likely to be put under Android brand name as it is being “linked to company’s Android unit.” Perhaps, it is a lighter variant of Android. The operating system will be made available for free, the report adds....

Today, however, the company has temporarily backed off from that proposition and the version of Allo launched today will store all non-incognito messages, entirely contradicting Google’s statements. The records, additionally, will be stored until unless the user manually deletes them which obviously, won’t happen in most cases. This essentially means Google will be able to read every text you send for improving the platform. You can avoid this by chatting inside the incognito/private mode where your messages will be end-to-end encrypted....

The announcement to be held will constitute a series of new products including new Pixel smartphones – Pixel and Pixel XL (Dear Google, Please bring the “tap-to-reveal-battery” feature to phones) , a 4K chromecast which will be either called Chromecast Plus or Chromecast Ultra, and Google’s very own stock design for a Daydream VR viewer device. Other than that, nothing else is known currently including the venue and timings. The Pixel smartphone will represent the smaller 5″ Sailfish device and the Pixel XL, as the name suggests, 5....

Since the watch will no more be completely dependent on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, it will automatically latch to a cellular network, which will allow it to function as a standalone device even if your phone is not in handy. The Smartwatch will not just beam notifications but you will also be able to receive and send messages and run your apps, even if your phone is in the next room....

Well, yes it would. But then think again. At the very beginning of the year, Google had bought Fossil’s smartwatch technology for USD 40 million, which had triggered the first talk of a “Pixel watch.” And that acquisition had seemed to make sense. After all, Google had the software, Fossil would add the design edge its wearables needed. What’s more, Fossil used Android Wear (or Wear OS) as a platform for its smartwatches....

However, Google already has a developer platform for this called “Tango”. But there’s one substantial difference between that and ARCore. The latter can superimpose digital objects in the real world without the need of any sort of special sensors and equipment. This essentially makes it a direct counterpart of Apple ARKit which has been receiving a ton of spotlight as of late. ARCore will lead to AR apps and games that you’ll be able to run on virtually any existing and forthcoming Android smartphone....
