Smaller Notch The most significant cosmetic change OnePlus has made on the OnePlus 6T is the narrower notch at the top of the screen. Unfortunately, though, it houses the same set of sensors as the OnePlus 6 which essentially means the facial unlock system on the OnePlus 6T still relies on software to authenticate you. The presence of a smaller notch, however, mends one of our pet peeves with the OnePlus 6 which was that there wasn’t just enough room for any status bar icons apart from the essential ones....

The same single judge has now been asked to hear the case afresh as the bench felt that it was not a case for grant of an ad-interim injunction. The crux of the decision lies in the fact that neither OnePlus nor Micromax eats into the territory of the other. The bench observed it was not proper of the single judge to finally decide the application without giving the parties time to file their pleadings....

I already hear someone saying “What’s in a name?”! Origin of Famous Company Names 1. APPLE COMPUTERS It was the favorite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. He was three months late in filing a name for the business, and he threatened to call his company Apple Computers if the other colleagues didn’t suggest a better name by 5 O’clock! Good that his favorite fruit wasn’t a WATERMELON! 2. CISCO It is not an acronym as popularly believed....

Higher Clock Speeds The Snapdragon 710’s performance cores have marginally higher clock speeds than the ones present on the 670. They can reach a maximum of 2.2Ghz compared to 2.0Ghz on the latter. The six efficiency cores, though, seem identical at 1.7Ghz in either case. Better GPU Another minor performance advantage the Snapdragon 710 has is the Adreno 616. The new Snapdragon 670, on the other hand, comes with the Adreno 615 GPU....

No wonder Realme, which focused primarily on smartphones and IoT products, launched Realme Book Slim in India and other global markets last month. The company has tried to use every trick in the book to make its first laptop a success. Just like its smartphones, the laptop comes with some outstanding features. For less than Rs 50,000, you get a compact and lightweight notebook with a 2K display and decent performance....

1. How is the overall sound quality on the Realme Buds Air? Keeping the price tag in mind, the Realme Buds Air produces good quality sound with emphasis on vocals. The bass levels, as with most earphones with this design aren’t too high. For casual listening, you will be more than satisfied with the sound quality but if you’re an audiophile, there surely are better sounding pairs of earphones out there for the same price, but they may not offer the same set of features or come in a similar form factor....

Realme Buds Air Neo In terms of design, the Buds Air Neo appear to have a similar design as the Buds Air, with a semi-open design and a charging case. The earbuds feature a 13mm dynamic boost driver that suggests offering a bass-heavy sound, and they connect over Bluetooth 5.0. Buds Air Neo comes in three color options: White, Red, and Green. At its core, the earbuds are powered by the R1 chip, which, according to the company, aids it in offering a 119....

And as of now, there are no definite leaks or rumors indicating what the laptop would feature. Having said that, there are some details around “JioBook”, which have been highlighted and put together by XDA in their report. To begin with, the report suggests that Jio is partnering with Bluebank Communication Technology, a China-based engineering firm — known for creating mobile devices and software — to develop its laptop....

Right, let’s get this out of the way first off – they say the new iPhones look exactly like their predecessors. Is that right? In a word: Yes. In keeping with the iPhone design philosophy of keeping the original and S versions looking pretty much the same (remember how difficult it was to distinguish between the iPhone 4 and 4S, 5 and 5S?), Apple has pretty much followed the same design sheet for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus as it did for the 6 and 6 Plus....

A Hardware Monster The G3 represents the first time since the release of the Optimus 2X that LG has actually managed to trump the troika of Sony, Samsung and HTC in the hardware department. The Optimus 2X, for those who know not their tech history, was the first smartphone to sport a dual core processor. Well, the G3 is the first flagship Android device from a major player to come with a quad HD display – while the One M8, the Xperia Z2 and the Galaxy S5 had stuck to the full HD displays of 1920 x 1080 resolution, the G3 goes a step further and sports a 2560 x 1440 resolution 5....

Design While the Samsung Galaxy S7 has borrowed heavily from the S6 design wise, the Note7 begs to differ. Thanks to the shrouded metal body and the rounded edges Note7 now bears a resemblance to the Galaxy S7 and the S7 Edge. Overall, I would have personally preferred the Note7 if it came with a more elegant design like it earlier used to. Display Samsung has been packing an impressive display units from quite some time, be it the S-series or the Note....

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip: Design and Design As already mentioned, the Galaxy Flip takes a different approach for its foldable form-factor with its clamshell-like design that opens up vertically, and not horizontally, unlike the Galaxy Fold from last year. The device comes in at a thickness of 7.2mm and weighs 183g. Towards the front, it features a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display (when unfolded) with bezels all around and a tall 22:9 aspect ratio....

A regular design, no “+” to it Unlike truly wireless earphones that come in different shapes, sizes and designs, there is only so much you can do in terms of design when it comes to their slightly wired counterparts. There has to be a long wire with some module(s) in the middle with earbuds at each end. And that is the basic template of most wireless earphones. It is also exactly what the Skullcandy Jib+ looks like – a long wire that goes around the neck, with two pill-shaped modules and earbuds on the two ends of the wire....

The Snapdragon 865, though, is a flagship SoC and Qualcomm wanted to make 5G accessible to mid-range smartphone users too, and hence they launched the Snapdragon 765G earlier this year. However, phones with that chipset haven’t made their way to the Indian market yet probably because the hardware itself is expensive and 5G, as we mentioned earlier, will need at least 2-3 years to commercially roll-out. The upcoming OnePlus Nord or OnePlus Z is expected to be the first smartphone in India with the Snapdragon 765G but we need to wait....
