Unfortunately, while hardware advancements have made it possible for you to carry around a gargantuan slab of screen, the software powering it has largely remained the same. You’re still struggling to balance that massive device while typing a text, you’re still forced to employ both of your hands on most phones, you get the idea. Sure, OEMs bundle a couple of special features for better handling but none of them mend the core shortcomings of large phones — navigation....

While there’s no confirmation yet as to if and when the Redmi K30 Pro will come to India (or if it gets rebranded to Poco F2), the phone is launching on March 24 in China and as with every phone, there are plenty of leaks floating around on the internet. We have compiled all of them for you in one place so that you know what to expect from the phone....

High also was the mountain the Note 8 Pro has to climb. Its predecessor, the Note 7 Pro, pretty much redefined mid-segment phone photography with its 48-megapixel sensor, and also brought a whole new design and splash resistance to the Note series. What could the Note 8 Pro to top that? Note the better hardware Well, for a start, the Note 8 Pro pretty much pumps up all the hardware that we saw on the Note 7 Pro, which incidentally is still less than a year ago....

The big question of course is: how does all this add up? Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite: The cameras are very good, but… The Galaxy S10 Lite has been positioned as a very strong camera phone – “Welcome to the Pro-grade cameras” is its tagline – and to be honest, we think it does the device a bit of an injustice. No, this is not to run down the camera performance of the device....

While the Flip has generally been targeted at those who want a phone with flaunt value (and have fond memories of the flipp-y bird that the Moto RAZR was), the Fold has been seen as the more “serious” foldable of the two. It is more functional than flashy and has a very strong productive side, with its ability to morph from a phone to a tablet and vice versa. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 continues this tradition, following in the footsteps of the very acclaimed Galaxy Z Fold 3....

Until not so long ago, I only used wishlists to keep track of the items I wanted to buy and from time to time used even shopping list apps. But that meant I had to manually check the price of my items, which was a real burden. The smart way do it is to set up price drop alerts, so whenever your product hits the price you can afford, you can rush and order it....

However, as of writing this, Apple doesn’t offer automation triggers on the Mac Shortcuts app as it does with its iOS or iPadOS equivalent, leaving users with no choice but to run shortcuts manually on their Mac.

In this guide, we’ll check out Shortery and list down the instructions to use it to automate your shortcuts on the Mac Shortcuts app....

The report is available online, but here are some of the striking points in it: (the data is based on global cumulative sales in the Q3’18 – Q2’19 period) Nokia is the boss of software updates It might still be on the road back to sales supremacy, but when it comes to software updates, Nokia is in a zone of its own. A staggering 96 percent of its phones run on Android Pie, with only 4 percent on the previous version, Android 8....

Remember GroupShot? That magical app which blew our mind few months back. The developers behind GroupShot are back with another app for iPhone, which they call StillShot. StillShot might not be as magical as GroupShot, but it is incredibly useful. How often you have felt sad for missing that perfect moment while clicking a photo? How often have you gone to take a picture and realized your iPhone was still in video mode?...

And one more thing… Guess who got the phone number 888-888-8888? Well, he ended up getting hundreds of wrong number calls, often from babies ended up hitting those keys while playing with phones. Even Steve Wozniak could not handle that!

No, it was much more than that. Allow me to digress for a moment. One of the first questions that often get asked whenever we take a good picture is: “which camera/phone did you use to take it?” It is almost as if in some way, the camera (be it a proper camera or one in a phone) plays the biggest role in taking a picture. Well, there is no doubt that the camera is very important – hell, the photograph would not exist without it – but what so many of us sometimes forget is that it is the person behind the camera who actually makes the photograph happen....

Historically, tech companies, and more specifically, smartphone OEMs, have tried to keep their gross and net margins high enough to be sustainable. They also have an obligation to bring the money back to their investors, and hopefully help them make more money on top of the investment. While I have tried to drastically dumb it down, running a profitable business is a lot more complex. While smartphone OEMs like Apple, Samsung, Nokia and HTC, have mostly stuck to this way of doing business, a new Chinese company in 2011 managed to shake up the market with its innovative way of doing business....

Well, here are the top ten features announced with iOS 10 that you should look forward to. 1. The Tale of Three: Widgets, Live Updates, and Lockscreen.
