Meet Smart Case, the world’s first laser projection smartphone. We’ve seen a handful of smartphones with a tiny projector before, but the Smart Case is different. It comes with a built-in Pico projector and a gesture-based control system along with a kick-stand which allow it to transform any surface it projects content to into a smart display. The company demonstrated the gesture-based capability of the Smart Case at its ongoing Tech World event....

YOGA series has been the ideal machine for folks looking out to buy a hybrid laptop which doesn’t cut the corners in one way or the another. Lenovo had recently tweaked the Yoga 3 Pro and treated it with a better design and a futuristically engineered hinge, but the very fact that they downgraded to a much slower Intel Core M processor was pretty much a deal breaker. The Yoga 900 series seems to be here to make the things right and to begin with, it employs the fully blown 6th generation Intel Skylake core i5 or even a core i7 processor, and thankfully the keyboard still retains the dedicated function key row....

As in so many things in technology and indeed in life, there is alas, no clear cut answer to this. On the one hand, yes, there is no doubting that software updates to devices or apps have their positive side. They show that the company is concerned about its product and is addressing issues affecting it. “Not like some big brands which launch a device and then forget about updating it for months,” a OnePlus user pointed out to me when I asked him for his take on the situation....

The Senstone pendant has derived the design inspiration from the sound waves and is made up of anodized aluminum and a scratch-proof screen.

Gaming on smartphones has been on the rise of late, especially with manufacturers designing dedicated smartphones for gaming purposes. However, gaming on smartphones has never been convenient due to the lack of physical keys or buttons meaning you have to resort to on-screen controls in order to trigger a certain action.

Nokia is hoping to get back in the leading cellphone maker race by targeting what it always managed to be good at – low priced phones. Nokia hopes to outrun Samsung but truth be told – this will be really tough, provided that Android’s far more popular than Windows Phone is. But the price is appealing for the Lumia line and the quality is satisfying, so the single question is – will consumers be lured in?...

The truth, however, would seem to be that the decision not to release the Pixel in India could be a purely commercial one. #TeamPixel trended in India, but not in the market Initially, there is no doubt that India featured very high on Google’s Pixel release list. The Pixel, the Pixel 2, and the Pixel 3 series were all released early in India. And the releases were very high profile, with a high degree of influencer marketing and a very prominent advertising campaign as well....

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....

We are getting a similar vibe from the first smartwatch from the brand, the OnePlus Watch. On paper, it comes packed with potential, but it has a few issues to address. Looks smart, but not very different We had covered the design and specs of the OnePlus Watch in our first cut, and here’s a quick recap: while OnePlus does claim to have put in a lot of effort into the design of the watch, the OnePlus Watch follows a rather familiar format – a 1....

The entire desktop can be recorded and once done the videos will be uploaded....

Well, the brand has started off 2021 with another Enco product. This time, it is aiming higher than the value for money budget segment. With their price tag of Rs 9,990, the just-launched Enco X train their audio guns very squarely at a more premium segment – one populated by the likes of Samsung, Apple, Jabra, and Sony. Looking routinely smart… And to be fair, the Enco X do bring a fair bit to the battle....

Poco C3: Design and Display In terms of design, the Poco C3 appears similar to the Redmi 9C in that it has the same plastic back with a square-shaped camera module on the rear to house the triple camera setup. However, it does get the Poco’s signature two-tone pattern, which reduces fingerprint smudges and also claims to offer a better in-hand grip and feel. And there is also P2i coating....
