“Good evening, sir. Welcome to CCC – Cellulite Celluloid Cellular – the place where you come, you see and make calls. Can I help you?” “Well, yes, actually, I was looking for a smartphone…” “I thought so the moment I saw you, sir. Absolutely. This is a man, I said, who wants a smartphone. And knows what he wants. Which is what we have in common.” “Er…what?” “We both know what you want, sir....
And so does the fish. Because it is actually made of Plaster of Paris. Well, what those travellers felt on their discovery must have been very similar to what we are feeling at the constant claims of at least three companies of bringing the “first 5G phone to India.” It is a laudable achievement. It is worthy of applause. The only problem is that it refers to something that does not really exist....

This is how Cloak‘s selling line sounds like – “Avoid exes, co-workers, that guy who likes to stop and chat – anyone you’d rather not run into”. To put it in other words, it uses social check-ins and other geo-location information to help you avoid people you would prefer not bump into. Cloak ‘scrapes’ Instagram and Foursquare for locations, but more social networks will be added with a future release....
The smartphone shares a similar aesthetic to previous Coolpad products featuring a unibody metal design and a curved back. There’s a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS panel up front coupled with off-screen capacitive buttons. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s good old Snapdragon 653 octa-core processor, Adreno 510 GPU, 6 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal storage and a 4000 mAh non-removable battery. Unfortunately, you cannot expand the memory through an SD card....
On the imaging front, the device comes with a 13-Megapixel primary snapper and a 5-Megapixel secondary sensor. The Coolpad Note 3 offers 16GB of internal storage along with an microSD card that can accommodate another 64GB of memory. The device boasts of all the connectivity features including 4G LTE and Dual SIM connectivity. The USP of device is definitely the price point.

The developer does mention that Android Oreo is a must, however, a lot of users were able to employ the app on an Android Nougat running phone as well. Surprisingly, it also doesn’t require root access. Portrait Mode on this modified app works just as you’d expect and lets you blur the background while shooting with the rear camera. Unlike the port for Google phones, this seems to be currently not compatible with the front camera and in early stages which essentially you should not use it as your primary camera app....
If you are pondering over the privacy concerns that come with the new feature, fret not. Your Timeline is truly “Yours” as it is visible only to the user and he has a full control over what to keep and what to trash. The feature is currently made available on Android and desktops.

Additionally, there’s an intuitive share function through which you can send saved videos to nearby devices over a Bluetooth connection. YouTube Go is built upon the previously launched Smart Offline feature for YouTube but adds better performance and accessibility....
The truth, however, is that multiple displays on a mobile device are nothing new. In fact, one of the most successful phones of all time had two displays. Remember the Moto RAZR? It had a display on the outside which gave you information on who was calling or who had texted you. And well, you flipped open the phone to actually take the call or use the keyboard. And no, the RAZR was not a one-off, other phone manufacturers tried the same, albeit with relatively limited success....
One of the key reasons why telecom in India took off rapidly during 2000-2010 was because along with falling device costs, India had mastered the art of giving a “missed call.” This missed call phenomenon allowed people who were poor and could not afford to make a call on their own or who did not want to make a call on their own to still make use of their cellphone....
In 7 years and a bit, the membership grew to 600+ million users. At this moment Facebook rightly holds the second place of the most visited websites in the world. How many users will we see after 10 years? An amazing moment in the evolution of the company was when the giant, Google, felt Facebook’s breath on its neck. This happened in a week of March 2010 (HitWise Data), when Facebook surpassed the mammoth corporation and became the most visited website in USA....
Steps to Recreate Facebook Profile Picture Hack All I did was, just followed these simple steps which Stravock clearly explains in the video. Note that I hardly know the ABC (or PHO) of Photoshop. It’s really simple and would take 15-20 minutes of your time. Take a screenshot of your current Facebook page. Create a new Photoshop doc. Grab the Slice tool (same family as the Crop tool) and select around the pictures....
And after all these years, Microsoft has now decided to pull the plug on Internet Explorer – Microsoft’s apps and services will stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 from 17 August 2021. And even though it has been ages, most of us actually used Internet Explorer as our web browser (its global share is down to almost 3 percent today), let us face it, it feels kind of odd that the Web browser that introduced so many of us to the Internet will be gone....
Xiaomi has been ticking off those boxes over the past few months as it consolidates its position as the numero uno in the Indian smartphone market. To someone relatively disconnected from the smartphone market, this would seem business as usual. After all, these are the very steps that most companies follow to push their products and services in the Indian market. Fair enough. But then these are also the very steps that Xiaomi had been steering clear of – and insisting that it would not follow them – in its early days in the Indian market....
The rationale? Well, Page writes on the blog: “Fundamentally, we believe this allows us more management scale, as we can run things independently that aren’t very related. Alphabet is about businesses prospering through strong leaders and independence. In general, our model is to have a strong CEO who runs each business, with Sergey and me in service to them as needed. We will rigorously handle capital allocation and work to make sure each business is executing well....

The Google Arts & Culture app has been around for quite some time but it has only recently picked up the portrait comparison feature. The first time you open the app, it pushes a popup that says “Is your portrait in a museum?...
As part of an exclusive interview with The Verge, Google says that the Chat will be based on Universal Profile for Rich Communication Services. The company has already been working on bringing the RCS support by partnering with OEMs and offering Jibe RCS Cloud Platform.
