App icons happen to be one of the most common elements you can customize on your Android smartphone: one that significantly elevates the appearance of your device’s home screen.

However, if you don’t like the look of the icons on your Android device, we’ve curated a list of the best Android icon packs you can use in 2021 to customize your Android experience....

Handing out a masterclass in hype Most brands build hype around their smartphones to get them as much attention as possible. Still, this year, a new entrant in the smartphone league almost weaponized this aspect, generating the sort of hype around its first phone that established brands struggle to get. We are talking about Nothing and its recently launched smartphone Phone (1). While most phones manage to make the headlines in the days leading up to their launch, the Phone (1) was making headlines months before it was launched....

Android Police has reported that one of their readers is now able to see a new “Send” icon on the Google Contacts.

That being said the “Request Money” option seems to be absent as of now, but the same was observed earlier in an apk teardown....

First up, the two new tablets. A 12-inch tablet isn’t new news. In last one year, we’ve heard a lot of details about this baffling device and even seen plenty of purported images of it. The new information, however, is that the company plans to introduce two big iPads, which it likes to refer to as “J98″ and “J99” (codenames) for now.

Hola VPN is one of the most popular VPN services since it is a free VPN and has a P2P feature that allows peers to effortlessly transmit data without the use of intermediaries on websites that support it, such as torrent and others. Hola VPN, however, seems to lack in most of these areas. HolaVPN has many compromising practices, and since the main goal of using a VPN is to protect the customers’ data, this VPN service is not recommended....

You know, we love those words. And we love the concept of Android One, notwithstanding all our reservations about it (read our initial thoughts about Android one here). The problem is that we first heard those words almost five months ago. When Android One was launched in India by Sundar Pichai himself. It was a launch by three very identical phones (so identical that we had to combine them all into one massive review)....

1. Like father, like son Jony Ive is hailed as a design genius and a lot of credit for it can be given to his genes. Born and brought up in London, England, son to Mike Ive, Jony Ive was surrounded by designs all his life. That was because Jony Ive’s father, Mike Ive, was a silversmith by profession and also helped craft a mandatory design curriculum for schools in the UK....

As you all know, Microsoft has unleashed its biggest and baddest weapon, so far. A great addition to their impressive collection of Operating Systems and one that is truly unique. They call it simply: “Windows 8”, I call it “The best Windows so far”. Windows 8 has much more than a face-lift, nicer graphics, and a few transition effects; it’s been completely remade, and Microsoft had to rethink it from the ground up, albeit a lot of its actual architecture and security is based on Windows 7....

Described as a 3D laser printer, a more accurate to Glowforge would be that this is a very precise laser cutter. Glowforge uses a beam of light the width of a human hair to cut, engrave, and shape designs from a variety of materials, including wood, leather, acrylic, fabric, cardboard, paper and many others. This is actually a super smart printer (probably that’s why it costs $2000) that uses onboard cameras which can cut and engrave directly over top of your drawing....
