As far as the specifications are concerned, the Oppo A71 comes with a compact 5.2-inch 720p screen on the front. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 450 octa-core chipset, a significant bump from the dated MediaTek MT6750. There’s 2GB of RAM, Adreno 506 GPU, and a 3,000mAh battery. The phone runs on Android Nougat and the company’s own ColorOS 3.1. Sadly, it lacks a fingerprint sensor or face unlock feature available either....

Not many of the options available on the market have fulfilled my needs and after approximately one year of searching, I finally found it. But shoulder-worn bags lack the room of accommodating chargers and they’re heavy weight, and I couldn’t simply commute with a laptop that runs out of battery in two hours and needs 800 grams of equipment to charge. Now, thanks to Phorce, people like me have an option....

On the front, the device has a 6....

You see, while mmWave, a 5G spectrum band, offers a significantly faster bandwidth than what we have today, it also has a much shorter range and its connection can be easily blocked by minor obstacles such as walls or even your hand. Qualcomm thinks its new QTM052 mmWave antenna modules are the answer to that exact conundrum. The component is essentially a tiny antenna array of the size of a coin that features four antennas which can automatically point the device towards the closest 5G tower....

According to Qualcomm, the processing prowess of the Snapdragon 888 enables it to ‘transform flagship devices into a professional-quality camera, intelligent personal assistant, and elite gaming rig’ – all while using 5G speeds.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Specifications 1....

The all-new Realme 3 comes with a 6.2-inch display with a dewdrop notch on the top, at an aspect ratio of 19:9 that incorporates the front camera, light sensor, distance sensor, and earpiece. Realme says that it has let go of the old approach of a sandwich-like structure of screen + middle frame + back cover and has instead come up with an injection moulded unibody to achieve a better feel in hand and visuals....

Realme 6 The Realme 6 isn’t really a successor to the popular Realme 5 smartphone. Instead, the company claims that the Realme 6 succeeds the Realme 5 Pro. That reflects in the pricing as well. Design The Realme 6 features what the company calls comet design, and it comes with a new optical plating technology with brighter and more saturated colors, giving the phone a bright and eye-catching appearance. Towards the front, there is a 6....

Sharp isn’t exactly a household name in the smartphone market, but the Japanese display maker is a pioneer in the field of bezel-less smartphones. Its first tri-bezel less smartphone was called the Sharp Aquos Crystal. The handset was launched back in 2014, way before Mi MIX and Essential Phone were built. The all-new Aquos R Compact, however, isn’t an upgrade of the original Aquos Crystal. Instead, it’s a completely new product, but it shares a number of specifications with the recently launched Aquos Crystal S2....

1. Quick App Switch Along with Multi-Window support, Nougat also adds one of my favorite multitasking features from custom ROMs, a quick app switch shortcut. It essentially allows you to jump between two most recently opened applications by merely double tapping the “recents” button. It might sound like a nominal inclusion but can vastly come in handy during appropriate scenarios. 2. Interactive Grouped Notifications Notifications on Android Nougat finally group together based on a specific application....

Here is a list of six phones that we think can prove to be a headache for the OnePlus 8: 1. iQOO 3: It has the IQ(OO) to Unsettle! With a starting price of Rs. 34,990 (although it was launched at a slightly higher price tag), the iQOO 3 is perhaps the most affordable phone that is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor in the market at present. This is paired with 8GB RAM and 128 GB storage....

Sony, the Japanese giant has been struggling with its smartphone strategy, both in high end and low end markets. Recently, the company has tried to get rid of the Xperia Z series for Xperia X, but that doesn’t seem to have made any significant impact. Microsoft on the other hand, has almost given up on the Windows 10 Mobile, with hardly any new Lumia phones released since 950 and 950 XL....

On paper, Sony has gone with the same camera module as we saw on the Xperia Z2. It still features the same 20.7 MP camera on the rear while a 2.2 MP front camera. But Sony claims that there are some important software enhancements done on the Xperia Z3 which should improve the quality of images, specially under low light conditions. To refresh your memory, Xperia Z3 comes with a 20....

Although we can’t do anything for the battery of our smartphones for the time being (we did see some innovation with the wireless charger of the Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone), we can enjoy a better signal from our Wi-Fi routers with a few cool gadgets that extend our signal to a wider area. Also, do check out our guide to improve and extend your Wi-Fi coverage. What are WiFi Extenders?...

When dual cameras were first introduced, they seem to be a feature only for high-end devices, but as they became more popular, the camera couple found its way to the mid-range segment of smartphones. And one of the super tall claims that almost all companies are making is, “DSLR-like” photography experience – and by that, they mean delivering bokeh (in simple English “blurred background”). Almost every phone with dual cameras is now being compared to a DSLR as if two sensors and a blurry background are all it takes to make a DSLR....
