Build, Design & Display The Z25 delivered quality experience throughout our usage. We really loved the ergonomics, the curves, and the build quality. It does resemble the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 a lot, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. While the Z25 does not do anything out of the ordinary, anybody buying this phone should have no complaints in this department. The front display has 2.5D curved glass which makes the swiping experience awesome....

What color options does Le2 have? Rose Gold and Grey. We are not sure if LeEco will bring both of them to India. Le 2 has a camera bump, does this cause any issues? It does wobble very little when placed on a flat surface, but LeEco packs in a transparent silicone case that flattens this out if used. How are the capacitive buttons? Le 2 has backlit capacitive buttons that turn on when you place a finger on it....

LG is using leather as a material in the G4 as it tries to give the device a more premium ‘warm’ feel. The company is also improving the camera and display, opting for an incremental upgrade, instead of a new design. The G4 also gets a slight curve, which has allegedly been inspired from LG’s G Flex line of smartphones. Actually, LG says the design is will improve the handling and rigidity by 20%, but I’m really curious as to how were they able to take such a ‘subjective’ measurement....

Matrix is a smartwatch on Indiegogo that claims to have solved the battery issue once and for all. The best part of the watch is that there is no need to charge the same as it is powered by you, yes a smartwatch powered by humans.

The human body generates heat and this heat is converted into usable electric power by making use of the temperature gradient....

It works just as you would expect, there are two void slots – one on the top from where the camera peeks and an another vertical space on the bottom. There are no connections involved with the phone itself here, the user will have to snap in any supported accessory and that’s it. In some cases, the module will require a lighting port or Bluetooth link. The major drawback it faces right now is the lack of options available as manufacturers have to specifically design their products to work with “Universe”....

Well, the OnePlus 7 Pro changes that. For, with the addition of the Pro moniker comes not just a significant increase in price but also aspiration. Previous editions of the OnePlus (special editions aside) had been content to be well (rather than exceptionally) designed, excellently specced devices which might not have been able to totally match their premium counterparts in all departments – most notably design, display, sound and cameras – but ran them close enough in a few and never made you feel too bad about what they missed out on because hey, they came at much lesser price tags....

In addition to that, OnePlus says it has been analyzing the top thousand Play Store apps to evaluate which one of them will require a compatibility mode for being coherent with the notch design....
