WhatsApp Business, in addition to that, also features a bunch of tools to help businesses manage their customer base. For starters, it allows creating quick replies, automated messages for when the moderator is away and even set up a welcome message for when a user contacts it the first time. Moreover, there are a few statistics owners can look into such as how many people have read their messages, how many have been delivered, sent, what have you....

WhatsApp has been testing many features in beta and most often new features keep popping up with every upgrade. Moving on, apart from the one to one conversations WhatsApp Groups is something that has clicked with the users. While most of us use WhatsApp group for the sake of being connected with their family and friend’s others use it as an official channel to communicate stuff regarding work. WhatsApp has now introduced the tagging feature that will let you tag the group members by adding ‘@’ before their name....

All the iPhones will be available as either factory unlocked or contract bundling. In this segment, let’s talk about the iPhone 8, 8s and iPhone X pricing for unlocked versions. Thanks to the different taxation rules, the iPhone prices differ from country to country. A couple of years ago the iPhone used to be the cheapest in Hong Kong but the same hasn’t been the case recently. That being said, Hong Kong along with UAE and Canada comes closest to the U....

Microsoft has just unveiled the Xbox One, its next-generation console, joining the fight against the already announced Play Station 4, about which we don’t know all the details yet. What we have been shown at Redmond is a completely redesigned Xbox that looks just like a big rectangular gadget. The controller is somewhat similar to the previous version but comes with a rather elegant design. Xbox One has been shown as a horizontal box, so we’re not sure if it will “stand” in a vertical position as the previous version....

MACE is designed to optimize mobile chips to support AI based tasks and has support for heterogeneous computing acceleration (CPU/GPU/DSP), TensorFlow/Caffe model, and multiple SoCs from well-known silicon manufacturers like Qualcomm and MediaTek. Currently, MACE is utilized to provide some AI based features like scene detection in the camera and portrait mode, to name a few, in Xiaomi devices. MIUI 10 also has some AI features like Xiaomi’s own voice assistant built-in which makes use of the MACE technology....

Rumor mills have been predicting this move from quiet some time but on this Wednesday, Richard Lee, chairman of laptop manufacturer Inventec said that the company would be assembling Xiaomi’s first laptops which will be shipped starting the first two quarters of 2016. He further also expressed his delight at the fact that Xiaomi already has a 200-million strong registered smartphone users, which will sort of create a baseline for the company to pitch their products....

Is the Xiaomi Mi 10 overpriced at Rs 49,999? No, it is not. There, we said it. It is not super affordable either. And well, the recent pricing of the iQOO 3 makes every Snapdragon 865 device in the country look expensive. But if you look at what the Mi 10 brings to the table, that price tag is not as over the top as it seems to some....

Xiaomi Mi 10T, 10T Pro, and 10T Lite: Design and Display As already mentioned, of the three models, the vanilla Mi 10T and the Mi 10T Pro come with the same design language, with a glass back and rectangular camera array on the rear. On the other hand, the Mi 10T Lite has a slightly different design, with a squarish camera setup encircled by a circular ring at the back....

Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro: Display The Mi CC9 Pro features a 6.47-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution and a notch at the top to house the front-facing camera. The display curves on all four sides and is TUV certified for blue light filter. Being an OLED display, it also supports in-display optical fingerprint scanner. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro: Performance At its core, the CC9 Pro is powered by an 8nm octa-core Snapdragon 730G processor with Adreno 618GPU, paired with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB/256GB of internal storage....

The Mi Dual Driver In-ear Earphones, as its moniker suggests, comes with dual-dynamic driver structure, which suggests offering rich bass with a crisp treble. Moreover, with the dual-driver structure, the earphones manage to keep the distortion levels low while offering better segregation of sound across a range of frequencies. Not to mention, since the earphones are in-ear type, they fit snug into ears and offer passive noise cancelation. The earphone cavity is made of anodized aluminum that makes the earphones lightweight (and comfortable), while also giving it a sturdy look and ensuring the earphones are fingerprint-and-scratch resistant....

Xiaomi Mi Earphones The Xiaomi Mi Earphones features a dynamic Bass with metal chamber created by precision processes like diamond cutting, CD engraving and anodizing a piece of aluminum. In order to achieve resonating bass, Xiaomi has used aerospace grade metal diaphragm. The sound and airflow are enhanced by 3rd gen balanced damping system. As far as controls are concerned the Xiaomi Mi Earphones come with a wired remote that features an inbuilt MEMS microphone....

The Redmi lineup of devices from Xiaomi has really matured over time. From those flimsy polycarbonate shells, the Redmi series have now graduated to boast of a metal unibody design. It looks markedly more premium than the first gen model. Rather every model has been a huge step up over the previous gen, especially in terms of aesthetics. The cheaper of the two, dubbed the Xiaomi Redmi 4 Standard Edition sports a metal unibody design with a curved back and a 2....

Thus, you can now send and receive WhatsApp messages right from your PC or laptop by using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Opera browsers. Unfortunately, it seems that Safari users will have to wait for a little longer. The sign up process is the same as before, which means users have to scan a QR code with the mobile app in order to start using the web client. At the moment, iPhone users don’t have the capability to scan the QR code but it works for Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Android....

Ads sound pure evil, right? Something the Devil himself may have created to not only invade our privacy but also to burn a hole in our already shallow pockets. All right, so that is a bit of an exaggeration but you get the gist. So what if we tell you that it is because of these ads that we are able to use one of the most popular and efficient emailing systems ever developed....

A proper, full, front on battle in the budget flagship segment. Yes, we are talking to the constant sniping by Xiaomi’s new brand Poco, at the incumbent budget flagship champion, OnePlus. While we have seen our share of brand battles, this one is rather unusually sharp, although to be fair, it is rather one-sided at the moment (OnePlus has not deigned to react). It might be one of the most talked about segments of the Indian smartphone market, but the budget flagship segment – where brands offer high-end specs at surprisingly affordable prices – can hardly be ever have been said to be bitterly contested....

Samsung was one of the earliest adopters of Qi Wireless Charging and arch-rival Apple joined late to the party in 2017 with the iPhone X. While all this is still fairly new on consumer tech, wireless charging or wireless induction has existed for more than a century, thanks to Nikola Tesla who discovered that energy can be transferred wirelessly with the help of magnetism. While there are much bigger applications of wireless charging or magnetic induction in general, we are going to stick to the technology in smartphones keeping in mind the scope of this article....

Sturdy and Stylish The Zephyrus M GU502 has an extremely robust build and feels solid when held in hand. The top lid has a brushed metal finish which does attract a ton of smudges, but there’s no denying that it does look attractive, nonetheless. The laptop belongs to the premium segment and its quite evident from the way it is built. While not constructed out of metal to keep the weight in check, the polycarbonate does not feel cheap at all, neither does it flex on the palm rest or the keyboard which shows the quality of materials used....

The Honor 9 Lite is a dazzler. There, we said it. We have no idea about its price at the time of writing (although speculation places it in the vicinity of Rs 15,000 – somewhere between the Honor 7X and the Honor 9i), but there is no doubt that it punches well above its weight in the sub-Rs 20,000 category as far as the design goes. All the talk has been about the four cameras on the device, but take it from us, the first thing you will notice about it is the shiny, mirror-like glass back....

As soon as we open the packaging, we are greeted with a card indicating the X21 being the official smartphone of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Taking the device out of the box, the first thing we noticed is that the device feels pretty light in the hand when compared to other phones with a glass back, like the OnePlus 6. Not sure if this is something that Vivo has going for it, or if the device just lacks an assuring feel in the hand....

Three lads, a coach and a Pixel 2 The three-minute promotional video, Dravid Spends a #DayWithPixel2 (or A Day Out With The Lads), is a little too long to be called an ad. It features Rahul Dravid who is also coaching the young Indian team, being taken for a day out by three of his players Shardul Thakur, Mayank Dagar and Shreyas Iyer. The video starts with someone giving Google Assistant instructions to record a video, then moves to Rahul Dravid talking on the phone with someone about his lost car keys....
