The Asus ZenPower is said to be the world’s ‘number 1 credit card sized’ power bank with a high capacity of 10050mAh. However, we’re not quite sure what Asus means by ‘No.1’, as this is a different expression than the ‘world’s first’, so maybe it’s nothing more than just a marketing trick. Nonetheless, the gadget weighs only 215 grams, being no bigger than a credit card in width. If you have a smartphone with a battery capacity of 1500mA, 2000mA, 2500mA and 3000mA, then you can charged 4 times, 3 times, 2....

Asus already has a number of powerbanks in their kitty, these include the 10,050mAh ZenPower Pro and the recently launched 20,100mAh ZenPower Ultra. But none was as large as their latest product. In fact, only a few OEMs have powerbanks as large as this and its goes without saying that US accessory brand Anker is among them. Coming back to the specs, the ZenPower Max packs a total of 8 built-in 3350mAH cells which are arranged longitudinally to give the powerbank a tower like shape....

Oh, and in recent times, it’s the company which copies its competitors. And for those with brains running at the speed of 0.01 miles per hour — yes, we are talking about Snapchat here! Facebook has just introduced a new camera feature to its Messenger application which comes with various AR based filters. Ummm… we think we have seen this “newly added” feature before somewhere. And guess where? Snapchat, of course....

Many of us use our phones for navigation, but everything gets messed up when we receive a call. That’s why I’m sure you’ll welcome the introduction of new app Drivemode on the Google Play Store. The aim of the new app is to let you continue using your phone while not endangering your safety during your car trips.

In India, Dyson has finally introduced their newest handheld vacuum; the Dyson V12 Detect Slim. This one is like a cross between the V11 Absolute and the V15 Detect (which is yet to be launched here). We have been using it for a few days now, and here’s our Dyson V12 Slim Detect review. We are trying a different format this time around. So do let us know your feedback in the comments section below....

ARKit is an augmented reality platform which comes integrated with the upcoming eleventh update of iOS. Like every other implementation, ARKit allows you to superimpose virtual 3D objects into the real world. Planning to buy furniture? Point your phone’s camera at the spot and see how it goes with the rest of the decor before purchasing. Minecraft world in your living room? Sure, why not. However, apps built using ARKit function are capable of functioning without any sort of special hardware unlike, for instance, Google Tango....

If you have not figured it out yet, these are just some of the many iconic ads Apple has created over the years. Advertising is a complicated marketing tool. For some, it could be a double-edged sword. For others, it could be an absolutely blunt blade. And for some very rare ones, it could be the perfect tool to get a message across. It is not very common to see an ad live up to one’s expectations....

Face Unlock, the feature first introduced by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich started as a wonderful, innovative idea which should have protected the smartphone from unauthorized access, based on a rather simple idea: face recognition. Unfortunately, the level implemented was rather low, with tricks being easily performed to bypass the system and Google has realized that it needs to update the algorithm in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but unfortunately, without any success for the moment....

Lifestage is a straightforward take on Facebook’s biggest shortcoming right now – the lack of enthusiasm from the young generation. It resembles a video diary and allows users to describe their personal details strictly in a small video snippet. As soon as your friends’ update theirs, your feed will be updated. However, the crucial attraction it brings is the fact that only the people who’re 21 or younger can enroll....

We are not sure when exactly did Flipkart started working on UC Browser, but as per some of our readers, it’s working since today morning. Interestingly, it doesn’t carry the ‘Flipkart Lite’ tag like on Chrome or Opera which they promoted as a web app. But for all practical purposes, it looks and works the same on UC Browser as it does on Chrome....

It was two minutes of a rather clever ranting and raving, the sort that will make most observers smile. Even my mum had a laugh at it, going “he sounds just like A***b,” although she was a little curious as to why “he is mispronouncing ‘opposition.’ His English seems so good otherwise.” Well, that pronunciation (mis- or otherwise) was perhaps the feature of the ad that most tech observers seem to have latched on to....

The naming has been changed this, because the previous models carried in their name the thinness in millimeters, which hasn’t happened this time. The smartphone features Mediatek’s new 64-but 1.7Ghz octa core processor, comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage....

But Google is now apparently interested in improving its Chrome browser, at least for Android users. A fresh blog entry on the Google India website says that the company will be rolling out a new feature to Android devices that will optimize Web pages so they load faster on slow 2G connections. What’s curious is that this will be available only to Indian users, at least for now, as Google is also launching this feature in Brazil soon....
