To begin with, the Smart Home Security Camera comes with IP65 weather resistance, meaning it can withstand extreme weather conditions and can continue to function irrespective of rain, dust, or moisture. Users can use it in both indoor and outdoor settings and can either mount it on a wall or set up as a tabletop device. In addition, taking into account the current coronavirus situation, wherein, people are supposed to wear masks, the security camera comes with what it calls, Qubo COVID guard feature....

Most of these desktop image editors and online image editors fail miserably when it comes to PNG image resizing, especially when retaining Transparency. They always remove the transparent background and replace it with a colored one. Latest version of Irfan View does show an option to resize PNG images AND retain transparency, but I never figured out how to use it successfully. Using Adobe Photoshop solves the issue, since it has an inbuilt plugin to resize PNG image cleanly....

Design that needs EVOL-ution The Redmi Note 11 is more about convenience than catching the eye in terms of appearance and design. We were surprised by how slim and relatively light it was, given that it comes with a large battery. In terms of size, it is 159.87 mm tall, 73.87 mm wide, and a very impressive 8.09 mm thin. It is slightly more compact than the Redmi Note 10, which has the same display size....

The feature at the time of writing was available on Google Maps for iOS (yes, yes, we appreciate the irony), so if you have got an updated version of the app on your iPad or iPhone, this is how you can make your navigation experience more, well, vehicular: As simple as that. We would have loved to have more vehicle options in the coming days, as well as more color options....

Memories of the Wall… And guess what, it actually succeeds in that very lofty aim. Which brings us to an explanation of that headline we have used, as it might have confused those who do not follow the game of cricket (it is supposed to be a religion in India). Allow us to digress slightly. In the period of 1996-2011, Rahul Dravid was a key member of the Indian cricket team....

Video Review Hello, Smarty! The Redmi 1S and the Moto E had shown us last year that it was possible for a phone to not cost the earth and still look presentable. Like those worthies, the Lenovo A6000 comes with an appearance that belies its price. We had discussed it in some detail in our initial impressions of the device, but to reprise – it is a smart looker, although not exactly a traffic stopper....

Tall, dark and plastic that looks fantastic There was a time when the design of the budget segment smartphone was predictable but thanks to the cut-throat competition in the market, phone design in general, across segments, is becoming very predictable. Shiny glossy, glass back, gradient finish, tall, edge to edge display are just some the design features most smartphones share these days and the Samsung Galaxy M30 has not strayed too far away from that template....

Looks like their main focus is on the S20 series, and the limited stock of the Z Flip can also be a factor as to why it may be coming to India at a later stage. Also, since Samsung manufactures its phones locally, India may not be having the facility to manufacture the Z Flip which can also be a factor contributing to the delay. Anyhow, let’s focus on the Galaxy S20 series for now....

The Exynos 2100 is based on a 5nm extreme ultra-violet (EUV) process node. It is the company’s first flagship 5G-integrated processor promising to deliver a maximum downlink speed of up to 5.1Gbps in sub-6GHz and 7.35Gbps in mmWave. Talking about the computation and graphics processing capabilities, Samsung claims to have improved and refined the performance in both categories on its newest chipset. And, the company suggests that having fabricated the SoC on a 5nm EUV node makes it 20% less power-hungry and 10% more powerful in terms of performance when compared to its 7nm predecessor....

Many would consider it to be blasphemy to write and talk anything other than Apple iPhone 5 event on this day. But then we must alert you that another major announcement is due to come next week from Apple’s biggest competitor – Android. On October 11th, Samsung and Google will be unveiling the next flagship Nexus phone at the Samsung Unpacked event, tentatively named – the Nexus Prime. The image you are seeing on the right is actually the first ever leaked photo of Nexus Prime, courtesy GSMArena....

The report regarding Samsung halting Note 7 production is said to be in line with the safety regulators in the US, China, and Korea. It’s most likely that Samsung will themselves announce the news with a greater degree of detail. The things started taking an ugly turn after five replacement phone caught fire and a major chunk of Samsung’s carrier partners said that they would stop selling the phones in entirety....

Of course, not ALL interface tweaks work out well – we have had people complaining about the complexity of TouchWiz, for instance – but when they do, it is a marvellous bonus to the consumer. We had come across a number of interesting touches in the MIUI interface while using the Mi 3, and well, we came across some very neat ones while using the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, which runs Lenovo’s Vibe UI....

With iOS 12 released, and the Shortcuts app available for download on the App Store, here’s everything you need to know about the new app. What is ‘Shortcuts’ and how to use it? Similar to the Workflow app that allowed users to create ‘workflows’ by stitching together different actions, the Shortcuts app is the same for the most part. Except, the ‘workflows’ are now called ‘shortcuts’, and come with an added support for low-level functionality to get better control over automation in addition to integrated-Siri, which allows the shortcuts to be triggered using Siri....

Glass is common, Gradient finish is not Both the Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro come with 6.3-inch full HD+ displays with a similar drop notch, and glass backs, with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 in front and back. There is, however, one significant difference – the Redmi Note 7 Pro’s red and blue variants come with a gradient finish, allowing light to form patterns on their backs and also seemingly changing shades in the light, whereas the Note 7 variants have a relatively plain finish....

1. Unlimited High-Resolution Photo/Video Storage Yes, if you purchase either the Pixel or Pixel XL, you can get lifetime high-resolution Google Photos storage. Hence, you can get all your 4K videos and full-resolution photos on the cloud and access them anywhere with no limitations at all. Now, it is currently uncertain whether this will also unlock your account allowing uploading on other configured phones too, but we’d doubt that. BTW, did you see Google’s subtle dig at Apple on this?...

Earlier, most of us were accessing Netflix by using a VPN and this way we could enjoy all the content served in the US or UK. While we can still continue to do so, here is a more effortless and effective way of accessing the global catalogue. Smartflix.io is a service which unlocks ALL the content on Netflix, irrespective of the country you reside in. The app is still in beta and as of now it is free, but once it exits beta, users will be charged a onetime fee of $7....

It’s been quite a while now since the the mobile phone was invented. It took the world by storm in the 80s and it kept evolving to the state-of-the-art units available these days. The equipment itself got smaller while the features got more and more complex and the speed and storage space increased. We also got tons of features to make our lives easier and easier. Sure, we can use the mobile phone to make phone calls and send text messages....

Pebble announced their upgrade for the watches in October but the trouble started brewing last year when the company was finding it difficult to stay afloat with debt funding, loans, traditional investor cash and probably other liabilities. Consequently, Pebble had to let go of 25 percent staff in March despite raising $28 million earlier this year in the form of debt and venture funding. In 2015 Citizen had approached Pebble in order to buy the company for $740 million, this deal failed to materialize as CEO Eric Migicovsky refused....

The lens is made up of sensors which thankfully are equipped with the innate capability of distinguishing between a voluntary and an involuntary blink. The technology would be covering the iris and it will harness power from the motion of the eyelids. This patent application surfaces just days after Google had applied for a patent with regards to a lens that could literally be injected into the eyes. So since it’s just a concept it does come with its own ifs and buts....

First, there was Nordic Blue The brand started it off with its first TWS, the OnePlus Buds, which had normal white and gray variants, but also came with a “Nord Blue” variant, and here, the brand went a little crazy with bright blue earbuds and a stem and a blue case with fluorescent green interiors. Yes, we had seen brands do the odd color experimentation, but this was frankly another level....
