Looks and design This is one of the most lopsided rounds in the contest. No, it is not as if the Redmi Note 6 Pro is ugly or an eyesore, but it largely follows the design footsteps of its predecessor, with a metal body. The Zenfone Max Pro M2 does nothing of the sort, swapping the metal of its predecessor with some very classy glass, a much better-designed camera unit (putting the cameras against a white background is clever) and even slapping Gorilla Glass 6 on its display....

Redmi Note 9: Design and Display To begin with, the Redmi Note 9 appears to have a similar design as the Note 9 Pro and Note 9 Pro Max, with what Xiaomi calls, the “Aura Balance design” that has a quad-camera setup on the rear and a cutout on the front for the front-facing camera. It comes in three colorways: Arctic White, Aqua Green, and Pebble Grey. Towards the front, the device has a 6....

And now there are notebooks. Sub-Rs 30,000 notebooks? They could be coming That amazing Manu Jain and his sweethearts have launched the Mi Notebook series in India yesterday, you know. And the prices are very very amazing, as per everyone in this team (I am an old woman, darlings, for me, a notebook still is something that has paper in it). But a lot of people were also a little bit surprised at the fact that the Mi Notebook range started at around Rs 41,999, which is sort of like a mid-segment, like Rs 15,000 for phones, where there are already devices from other players....

For almost a decade now, the Galaxy has been simply the most outstanding Android phone out there. Because there is nothing quite like it. It actually is the one Android phone that many people keep using for years because of its basic features – the stylus and the display simply keep working. We know folks who are still using a Note 6! Big phone, big display, big specs The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G sticks to the basics that has made the Note range special....

It is believed that all these OLED displays, that are reportedly being sourced from Samsung, would be brought to use in Apple’s upcoming iPhone 8. The latest contract signed by Samsung Display and Apple is, in fact, worth $4.3 billion. For those unaware of the development, Apple is rumored to be moving away from the IPS LCD panels for their iPhones and iPads in favour of contemporary OLED panels. In fact, Apple has been quite late to join the OLED bandwagon, as by now most smartphone manufacturers has already started using LED panels for their flagship devices....

David Byttow the man behind Secret has said in a Tweet that Secret V2 is in making and it is “too important not to exist.” At its peak the company was pegged at $100 Million and Secret had already raised $35 million but eventually, it cut its staff into the half before going into a stealth mode and finally shutting down the app completely. Byttow told TechCrunch that it was the recent U....

And that is just the tip of the Xiaomi iceberg, which includes a host of products, ranging from backpacks to rice cookers. Although the Wi-Fi router and Air Purifier have made their ways to India, so many others, unfortunately, have not. While we wait, here is a list of seven devices from Xiaomi that we would LOVE to see in the Indian market, and no, NONE of them is a phone!...

With iOS 12 released, and the Shortcuts app available for download on the App Store, here’s everything you need to know about the new app. What is ‘Shortcuts’ and how to use it? Similar to the Workflow app that allowed users to create ‘workflows’ by stitching together different actions, the Shortcuts app is the same for the most part. Except, the ‘workflows’ are now called ‘shortcuts’, and come with an added support for low-level functionality to get better control over automation in addition to integrated-Siri, which allows the shortcuts to be triggered using Siri....

What is Sign in with Apple? Before delving into what Sign in with Apple is, let’s first understand what an SSO (single-sign-on) service is. SSO is a session and user authentication service that offers users the convenience to sign in to third-party accounts and its related services using a single account (email address and password). For this, the service uses OAuth, which is an open-source standard protocol for delegating access....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMLA8YIgG0 The Surface Studio apparently seems to be Microsoft’s take on the iMac. Precisely speaking, it builds upon a standard PC and integrates features that were so far limited to a laptop, and well that’s what Surface Studio is folks. The AIO from Microsoft comes with a 28-inch PixelSense LCD monitor which the company claims to be the thinnest available in the market. At 12.5mm it’s indeed remarkably slim. The Pixel Sense touchscreen LCD monitor is contained in an aluminum exposure and is said to output 13....

The problem, however, with the rear camera, is that you don’t actually see the captured surface, which can become pretty annoying. But if you’re the owner of an iPhone, there’s now an app that can help you with that. SelfieX is a new entry on the iTunes store and it has already amassed great ratings from those who have downloaded it. The concept of the app is very simple, just hold your iPhone up to your face and the app will tell you which direction to move in order to get the best shot....

The offer comes on the heels of Microsoft discontinuing the Surface 3 lineup, a device that would have otherwise appealed to the student buyers budget. It is still unclear if the Surface 3 will have an immediate successor or if Microsoft will continue piggybacking on the more expensive Surface 4 Pro lineup. Microsoft is expected to focus on refreshing the Surface Pro and the Surface Book line up next year....

No, it was much more than that. Allow me to digress for a moment. One of the first questions that often get asked whenever we take a good picture is: “which camera/phone did you use to take it?” It is almost as if in some way, the camera (be it a proper camera or one in a phone) plays the biggest role in taking a picture. Well, there is no doubt that the camera is very important – hell, the photograph would not exist without it – but what so many of us sometimes forget is that it is the person behind the camera who actually makes the photograph happen....

The answer to that is complicated. But before we try to unravel it, here’s what you need to know about OnePlus 5T’s position in the market today. There are primarily three fundamental aspects where the OnePlus 5T still holds an edge over its competition. Performance, software, and screen. I’ve been playing the new PUBG Mobile game regularly as of late. And believe me when I say this, there’s no better Android phone which is capable of running it more fluidly on high settings than the OnePlus 5T....

Those were the words of a friend when she was asked why she kept using the iPhone XS to take pictures a few weeks ago, even though there were (allegedly) phones with better cameras around. The very implication that there are phones that can take better pictures than the “Godphone” might outrage some Apple fanboys, but the fact is that every month that passes after the launch of a new iPhone sees the arrival of at least one device that claims to be better than the iPhone in the camera department, and generally serves up proof in the form of camera samples shared in a presentation or social networks....

The letter only sparked more debate, with Redmi’s opponents considering it an admission of the fact that the devices were overpriced (Xiaomi had never issued such a letter about its pricing in the past), and its supporters using it to bolster their arguments that it was not. Even the tech media was split on the issue, with some claiming the device was disappointing and cost too much, while others said it was a terrific device and great value for money....
