The milestone was reached on Monday, when a billion people used the service, according to founder Mark Zuckerberg, who said the following: “We just passed an important milestone. For the first time ever, one billion people used Facebook in a single day. On Monday, 1 in 7 people on Earth used Facebook to connect with their friends and family. When we talk about our financials, we use average numbers, but this is different....
The biggest new option is the WiFi connection; but the true techies out there knew that it was only a matter of time, as there’s always been a disabled WiFi chip inside. With this new option, you’ll be able to use your Moto 360 when you are out of Bluetooth range from your phone. The battery has been improved since the Android Wear 5.0.2 update, perhaps that’s what was needed for the WiFi support to be enabled....
In terms of design, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro follows the same design language as its previous models, with a sleek aluminum unibody chassis that comes in space gray and silver colorway. Upfront, it includes the 13-inch Retina display with 500 nits of brightness and support for P3 wide color gamut. The display leverages Apple’s True Tone technology to provide natural colors and reduce eye strain to enhance the viewing experience....
Nokia 5310: Design and Display To start with, the all-new Nokia 5310 takes a fresh approach with the design elements but still builds upon the old aesthetics. The phone has a rounded design and a curved edge around the display. There is a numeric pad along with a five-way navigation key giving the old-Nokia vibes. Moreover, it also includes dedicated music buttons, something found on the original Xpress music, to offer quick and easy controls while playing music....
Similarly, Noise’s other offering, the Noise ColorFit Pro 3, which also comes with a large display and multiple health-tracking features, became its best-selling product in the last quarter. Building on this momentum, Noise recently announced two new smartwatches to expand its flagship smartwatch portfolio in the country, the ColorFit Pro 4 and the ColorFit Pro 4 Max. Both these smartwatches feature significant upgrades over their predecessor, the ColorFit Pro 3, and are targeted at different audiences....
The rumor mills claim that Nokia Flagship will employ a large circular disk to house the camera lens unit much like the yesteryear’s Nokia Lumia 1020. Apparently, it will have five holes for the lens and another opening for the flash unit. It’s also quite possible that Nokia might incorporate the rotating lens technology, for which a patent has already been filed. The Miniature zoom camera from the Zeiss includes a mechanism wherein multiple lenses can be rotated and thus will help in changing the focal length and also offer a much larger zoom range....
The Lumia 630 comes in five bright colours with swappable shells for those who like to customise the looks of their smartphone. It carries a 4.5-inch WVGA display (845×480 pixel) with ClearBlack technology and Gorilla Glass 3 on top of it. Nokia is playing around with its hardware with some strange choice of internals. The Lumia 630 is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and has just 512MB of RAM....
1. More than game for videogames! Like most high school kids, Jai Mani was also into videogames. But make no mistake, he was not just into videogames, he played in a team. It might not have been a professional gig but he was part of a league and as per him, they were the best team in America back then. Pretty cool, eh? 2. Upgraded game, destroyed computer, got first tech job!...
Max-Q fundamentally attempts to reduce the size of gaming laptops by optimizing the GPU and its consumption. Once implemented, it allows the premium GeForce GTX 1080 to be operated with significantly less power. By reducing the intake by half, manufacturers can drastically mitigate the thickness of ultrabooks without worrying about heating issues or any other similar hurdle they were previously confined to. Moreover, the company says that the software they’ve included improves thermal management by “balancing the work done on the CPU and GPU” while processing a resource-intensive task....
Devices even in the budget segment have started looking more premium than ever (check the Realme 6 Pro and the Redmi Note 8 Pro if you believe us not) and the premium ones have obviously taken their design game up by several notches. It has almost become routine for devices to come with tall, bezel-less, notch-donning displays on the front and shiny, glossy glass or glass-like material with different patterns on the back....
An almost two and a half minute long ad, “Stop at Nothing” features Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin and her spoken word poetry that puts a lot of emphasis on how one needs to take time to disconnect and use the technology around one to connect, create and communicate. The ad starts with text on the screen that reads, “Stop at Nothing”, “Written by Kalki Koechlin”, “Shot on OnePlus”. The visuals are basically of artist’s with a lot of visual effects while she recites her spoken word poetry....
What’s special about the OnePlus Concept One? OnePlus has partnered with McLaren and taken inspiration from the sunroof on their cars to come up with similar technology for smartphones. The material, known as electrochromic glass, can turn from transparent to opaque when electricity is passed through it and that’s exactly what OnePlus is using on the back of the Concept One to hide the rear cameras when they’re not in use....
The price tag. Both start from Rs 24,999 So it was hardly surprising that notwithstanding the projected differences in positioning, people were asking how the brand new OnePlus Nord compared with the slightly older Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro. Well, let us find out, shall we? Design: Distinct meets divisive In terms of design, the Redmi K20 Pro and the OnePlus Nord come from two very different schools of thought. We got the relatively subtle black shade of the K20 Pro for this comparison, but the phone also comes in shades of red and blue that grab attention like few phones have in recent times, thanks to the flame-like gradient patterns on the back (check some product shots in our review)....
The OPPO A83 comes with a tall 5.7-inch nearly bezel-less HD+ display on the front. The screen features rounded corners and an aspect ratio of 18:9. Underneath, an unspecified octa-core processor keeps things running. There’s 4GB of RAM, 32GB internal storage which is expandable up to 128GB and a non-removable 3090 mAh battery. The camera arrangement includes a 13-megapixel rear shooter, a single LED flash, and an 8-megapixel front-facing lens....
The Oppo R17 Pro’s biggest highlight, by far, is the rear camera arrangement. For starters, the primary 12-megapixel lens features a variable aperture between f/1.5 and f/2.4, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9. The secondary 20-megapixel sensor is included for depth information. The third sensor, however, is a Time of Flight (TOF) 3D sensing camera which can be employed for producing high-quality 3D images. On the front, you’ll find a 25-megapixel selfie snapper as well....
Jio’s frantic pace of subscriber addition has been widely reported. The company on an average has been adding as many as 20 million subscribers every month. It passed an important benchmark when on February 21, it grossed around 100 million subscribers. [stories-so-far title=”Stories So Far” post_ids=”90367, 85361,85165, 82870, 78759″] According to official TRAI data, by the end of December 31, 2016, Jio had around 72 million customers. This means that between December 31st and February 21st, Jio added 28 million subscribers in 52 days or approximately 5,38,000 (more than half a million) subscribers every day....
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 855’s biggest new highlight is the fact that it’s the first commercial mobile SoC to be compatible with multi-gigabit 5G networks whenever they become available. It’s made possible all thanks to the company’s own the Snapdragon X50 5G modem and the X24 LTE modem. In addition, the manufacturer also catches up with other high-end chips like the Apple A12 Bionic by adding a dedicated engine for processing neural networks....
Reliance has also earmarked 100 cities in India for the FTTH services and the fibres for the same have apparently been laid over a year ago. Just like the Jio 4G, even the fibernet is being offered on the Unlimited basis for the preview customers. However, unlike the Jio 4G preview, the FTTH would only be provided to the buildings or the areas where the cable have already been laid and the last mile connectivity will be provided directly through the wire....
The Visual Snapshot UI looks very similar to what Google Now used to offer back in the day. It contains proactive suggestions with personalized and timely information related to your commute, upcoming events, recent online purchases, and much more. You can access the new (or old, depending on whether you’ve used Google Now) overview page by tapping the icon on the top right corner of your screen when you launch the Google Assistant....
