The new JioPhone comes with the much awaited Dual SIM functionality, as the gripe with the first edition was that it was a single SIM device, which was carrier locked to Jio, which meant users could not use their already existing SIM cards on their JioPhones, which now seems to be addressed.

Back in 2014, when Xiaomi launched the Mi3, the crowd in the presser had their jaws dropping hearing the price. It was no different two weeks back, when LeEco (pronounced as La Eco) announced that the Le 1s (pronounced as La 1s) is priced at Rs 10,999 (~$160), that’s still lesser than the 1099 RMB price in China. But how’s that a disruptive pricing? Let’s just look at what we have on offer here – a 5....

LeEco changed the Helio X20 internals of their Chinese variant of Le 2, only to replace the chip with a far more powerful Snapdragon 652 SoC. Thus the LeEco is a slightly more powerful device than the Redmi Note 3 on paper, but whether or not that the performance of the two turns out to be different in real world is a topic for some other day. Today however we will be dwelling into the camera performance of the similarly specced devices, and find out which one of the two 16MP cameras gives you a better bang for the buck....

The all new Yoga Tab from the Chinese firm is a marked improvement over its predecessor, especially in the specs departments. That said, the specs boost has graduated the product in a notch higher price category. The upcoming Yoga Tab 3 Plus 10 from Lenovo will sport a large 10-inch QHD display up to. While QHD isn’t uncommon in flagship smartphones these days, it’s quite rare to see an OEM use such a high-resolution display in the panel as large as this....

Update: Winner announced When LG announced the G2, many tech experts in the world, predicted that the device would do wonderfully well. For once, a major mobile manufacturer had gone on and taken upon itself to do something different and try and move away from the conventional designs we had come to expect from a smartphone.

The light bulb from Philips was the first one to start this fashion, but it looks like it won’t be the only one on the market. Since 2012, when Philips started working on the idea of smart lighting, and it came up with the Hue collection, it became more and more popular. The SmartBulb by Samsung and the SmartLamp by LG are promising to offer even more. Let’s take a look at what each one of them has to offer!...

Apple rocks but…”Steve would not have liked this” However, that reputation has taken a bit of a beating in recent times. Apple is still one of the top tech companies in the world but has been increasingly seen as getting more conventional, following trends more often than setting them. And of course, a lot of people very conveniently lay the “blame” for this at the door of the man who succeeded Jobs, Tim Cook, very conveniently forgetting that this man oversaw Apple becoming the first trillion-dollar company in the world....

Look, ma, the G5 Plus with a removable back! The build of the G series has been very plasticky from the very beginning but the G5 Plus and the G5 have changed the game with their metal body avatars. The metal body immediately makes the G5 feel more expensive than its predecessor, the G4, which had a plastic body. The two devices look like identical twins at first glance, but the differences are easily spotted if inspected closely....

Top 4 Reasons to Buy the Moto X4 Beautiful, Yet Sturdy Oh, you beauty! With its all-glass exteriors, the Moto X4 looks simply stunning. The best part is that Motorola is using Corning Gorilla Glass on both sides. So, you need not worry about breaking Moto X4 that easily. Furthermore, the back of the device curves gently towards the edges, thereby giving it a nice in-hand feel. To the center lies the dual camera setup surrounded by a matte finish metallic ring....

Unlike traditional password managers, Firefox Lockbox is nowhere close to the functionalities that they provide. To start with, the app lacks even the most basic options, like the ability to add, edit, delete, or suggest a password. Instead, the app syncs all the existing passwords for different websites that a user has ever saved on their Firefox browser and provides access to them whenever required. Additionally, it also offers the ability to autofill passwords when it comes across any form....

One such example is the Fusion Music Player. I was skeptical at first about this player, since I have used Winamp for as long as I can remember. Nevertheless, I installed the player and started using it for the purpose of this review. What happened is something I was not expecting: I loved it! Those features, oh God, those features, simply awesome. What features does Fusion Music Player have? I don’t know where to start....

However, there are many phones which do have support for VoLTE from the hardware side, but are not able to make calls on Jio as the software restrictions have been applied. While many OEMs could be working with Jio for a tie up before enabling VoLTE support, we discovered the OnePlus is one among them! Helen, who worked with OnePlus on the Oxygen OS operating system has replied to one user’s question about VoLTE support on older OnePlus devices on the official OnePlus Forum in a Oxygen OS Q&A thread and here is what she says: Though this is not an absolute giveaway or official statement, we see that OnePlus might be working to provide VoLTE support through a software update to their older devices like OnePlus 2, OnePlus One and OnePlus X....

In a blog post, the company announces that the OnePlus 2 will have a fingerprint sensor. Well, it’s not an exclusive feature, as you might guess. There are a plenty of smartphones including iPhone 5s and up, and Samsung Galaxy S5 and up that boast this functionality. But a fingerprint sensor is a handy addition as it facilitates several features. One could, for instance, conveniently use it to unlock the lockscreen....

Smart design with a touch of fun It is a very promising debut as well. The Nord Buds get a lot of things right, starting with their design. We got the White Marble variants and liked their slightly unconventional look with flattened stems with tiny mirror-like metallic discs on them for touch controls. Those reflective circles give the Nord Buds a very distinct touch. The case they come in is pill-shaped with a USB Type C port on the back and a connecting button....

With internet privacy and safety time and again being proved as a myth, Google has made it simpler to detect if any of your account has been compromised or your data has been breached. Password Checkup is a tool which can be added to Google Chrome via an extension and what it basically does is monitor the username and password you enter on every website you login to, and if those credentials have been found to be leaked according to Google’s database, you will be notified and warned about the same....
