Finally, and long overdue, Google is bringing to option to navigate when offline. The latest version of Google Maps for Android now allows you to download maps and other data before going offline, allowing you to access it even if you don’t have an Internet connection. The great news is that this basically works with any area in the world. Amanda Bishop, Product Manager, Google Maps, said the following: If you want to make use of this new feature, you will need to download an area by searching for a city, county or country....

As you can tell, my demands are largely fundamental. I am not looking for any whizzy features from the future or a shiny exterior. Surprisingly though, not every smartphone, irrespective of the price range, is capable of checking all of these items. I always end up living with at least one major and essential compromise. When Google introduced the Pixel 2 — a successor to the highly acclaimed Pixel 1, I was almost certain that this will be the closest contender to fulfilling these requirements....

The Pixel 6a is among one of the most anticipated launches in the budget category in a while. It was announced during the Google I/O 2022 event and has been much talked about ever since, in part due to its Tensor SoC and the camera, among other things. Now, with the Pixel 6a coming to India, which is already a fierce market with multiple options to choose from across various price points, it will be interesting to see how the device fares....

Although still in the early testing phase, the application built by the Google Chrome Team to internally test the new message center is available to download, and install, for everyone wishing to take a peak. Features are a bit limited for the moment, especially for those who do not run Chrome OS, but it’s something worth taking a glimpse at. Google’s Notifications Galore Truth be told, there are no hard facts about what Notification Galore can achieve for Google, and its customers....

At the ongoing Recode conference in San Francisco, Sergey Brin, the Google co-founder who heads the Google X group announced this new version of their driverless cars. He says that the program is currently in a prototype phase, but that it plans to build around 100 early versions of the vehicles for testing this summer. The car looks like a modified version of Tata Nano, and will initially include manual controls in case something goes wrong....

This interest in the “protection” around a display is fascinating, not least because as per our experience, a majority of users any way place a screen protector of some sort over the display any way. It might be as basic as a strip of plastic or as sophisticated as tempered glass, but it is rare to see a person in India using a relatively expensive phone (anything above Rs 5,000 is expensive for a phone in which the vast majority of users still use feature phones)....

Let’s clear this out right away. Unlike Google Chromecast, HalfTicket TV isn’t meant for streaming content from your smartphone or tablet to your television (although that’s possible as well). Instead, it’s meant to work as a standalone device with Android on board, capable of streaming content from the internet directly on to your television. It’s not too tough to understand why this change of approach. HalfTicket TV is originally a “Curated Video on Demand Megastore” which hinges on “Content Discovery” which is surely a challenge considering how huge the internet as become....

Honor 9X: Design and Display The Honor 9X features a smooth back panel with a glimmering pearl X effect that shows patterns with light falling at different angles. There is a 3D curved panel on the rear with an 8.8mm thick frame to offer a comfortable feel and grip in hand. Towards the front, it flaunts a 6.59-inch FullView IPS-LCD display with no notch and a completely bezel-less design. The display boasts a 91% screen-to-body ratio with 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution and a blue-light filter (TÜV Rheinland) to protect eyes....

Let’s begin with the specifications. Both of them have the same hardware, unlike last year where technically all the three iPhones had different camera arrangements. On the rear this year, there are two 12-megapixel snappers — one regular wide-angle f/1.7 lens and another telephoto f/2.4 shooter for enabling 2x optical zoom. Optical Image Stabilization is present on both but the former of those has a new sensor with a pixel size of 1....

Moto G6 vs RealMe 1 On first glance, it might seem like both the Moto G6 and RealMe 1 feature a glass exterior but the former of the two is the only one with an actual Gorilla Glass shell. In addition to that, the Moto G6 is even splash-resistant. The RealMe 1, on the contrary, is made out of plastic and a polymer composite material. A tall 1080p LCD screen is present in either case, although the RealMe 1 has a slightly larger 6....

While this is a convenient feature to have, it can sometimes quickly become annoying. If you’ve got one of the full-screen screen protectors on your iPhone, which obstructs the proximity sensor’s functionality and prevents it from turning on the screen when you pull it away from your ear, you’d know what we mean. Fortunately, Apple’s finally heard user complaints and responded by offering a toggle switch to change this behavior....

During the event the company said that in the last two years they have sold over 15 million Kirin-powered smartphones, trying to prove that smartphones powered by their own in-house chip are getting more and more popular. It’s also worth pointing out that Kirin-powered devices are currently being sold in Asia and Europe as the US-based ones come with Qualcomm’s chips. Huawei also said that their Kirin chipsets are ready for VoLTE and that the Kirin 950 will be the first chipset to receive the CMCC VoLTE certification....

For the first time, Huawei is taking a dual-SoC approach with the Kirin 990. Instead of offering one chipset, it is offering two — the Kirin 990 with 4G connectivity and the Kirin 990 5G with both 4G and 5G connectivity. Albeit, as of now, there are very sparse adoption rates expected for 5G in the near future, Huawei is still pushing forward to get on the 5G forefront with its newest 5G chipset....

A few leaks recently suggested that Huawei might release a phone with a huge display size of 6.9-inches. The device speculated to be using this display was the Huawei Mate 20 Pro as the release dates of the phone as well as the availability of the large display panels coincided.

But currently the iTunes download page is only offering version 12....
