Oh yeah, it’s a Samsung all right! The moment you clap eyes on the phone, you can see it is taller than the “normal” ones. And you can also spot that typical, iconic Samsung design – the logo at the top, the home button doubling as a fingerprint scanner at the base with a 5.7-inch display in between. Flip the phone to its back, and you would see some subtle new touches in the design....

While that statement may be entirely made up, its implication is not, at least in the smartphone industry. If you’re looking for an extraordinarily sized battery, you’ll have to settle with an abnormally sized phone. Smartron, the India-based company which had entered the market with a lot of promises and IoT ambitions, thinks it can surpass those notions. And it’s doing so with a new smartphone it likes to call the t....

As you can already relate from the name, the Sony Xperia X Compact is the smaller of the two siblings and is the latest addition to the company’s Xperia X lineup. To be precise, the Sony Xperia X Compact is a trimmed down version of the flagship Xperia X launched earlier this year. Rather it sports a markedly smaller 4.6 inch display with a resolution of just 1280x720p. While this might appear puny in today’s world but this display size has been a part and parcel of the Xperia Compact lineup for quite some time now, ever since those Xperia Z days....
The Spice Fire One is obviously aimed at those who can’t afford a more premium experience, but even this market is getting crowded. Google’s recently announced Android One initiative is perhaps the biggest threat to such small players like Mozilla’s Firefox OS who is struggling to find a place for itself. However, you shouldn’t expect too much from this Firefox OS smartphone, as it comes with basic the most basic features need to “convert” a feature phone to a smartphone – calls, messaging, email, camera and modest performance....
The majority of Mac OS X users should know that starting with version 10.6.8, Apple has integrated a company-baked anti-malware tool which offers a first level of protection. While many report that installing a third-party antivirus or a specialized anti-malware software will cause issues with software updates, we highly recommending adding another layer of protection – just in case. Anti-Malware Tools for Mac OS MalwareBytes I will start by highly recommending Malwarebytes for Mac....

A classy, glassy back with the same old front The new iPhone 6… oops! Sorry. The iPhone 7…errr, actually the iPhone 8 (can be a little confusing with little to no difference in appearance from the front) pretty much speaks the same design language as its predecessors. The smartphone comes with a similar 4.7-inch HD display with similar thick bezels around it. Now, judging by the numbers (it is not even full HD, forget quad HD), the iPhone 8’s display has no business being in the market, but you forget that when you start looking at it....
Needless to say, the sales and discounts have helped the makers of Essential Phone boost the sales. Now one might dispute the numbers and cast their doubt on how accurate is the 50,000 numbers and how would one arrive at the same. As explained by the folks at Android Police the Essential Camera app can be downloaded only by Essential Phone users and thus the deductions. Moreover, the Play Store usually counts the unique number of downloads....
For the layman, Allo also packs almost every other messaging feature such as stickers, doodling on images, voice messages, read/delivery markers, location, WhisperShout for enlarging and diminishing text size and a whole lot more. For some reason, though, there’s no way to know the “last seen” of a person or whether someone is already using Allo or not. Google also baked a smart way to invite others by Instant Apps, read more about it here....
The traditional clash: vs iPhone X Can the notch nick it? This is a clash of tastes more than anything – the more realistically tuned AMOLED of the iPhone X against the eye-popping brilliance of the Galaxy S9+; the true to life cameras of the X against the more pleasant results from the S9+; the curvy design of the X against the taller and slightly more edgy looks of the S9+; Apple’s chips against Samsung’s; Apple’s UI against Samsung’s, and so on....

Interestingly, OnePlus chose India as its launch market for smart TVs. The company claims that India is its most important market when it comes to smartphones so it was a natural choice to launch the TVs here as well. For a company so new to televisions, OnePlus took quite a risk when it launched the OnePlus TV Q1 at Rs 69,900 and OnePlus TV Q1 Pro at Rs 99,900, both being 55″ 4K UHD QLED TVs....
