Indeed, notwithstanding the almost traditional howls of “it’s too expensive” that accompany the launch of an Apple product, the fact is that Apple’s pricing is not as crazy and over the top as some are assuming it is. Yes, at Rs 59,900 in India (USD 549 internationally), they are significantly more expensive than the likes of the Sony WF-1000 XM4 ( Rs 29,990), Bose 700 (Rs 34,500), and the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless (Rs 34,990), which for many users represent the higher end of the headphone market....

The Xiaomi Mi A1 comes equipped with a 5.5-inch FHD display with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass and is powered by the Snapdragon 625 processor clocked at 2.0GHz and paired with 4GB of RAM. On the storage front, the phone offers 64GB of internal storage along with an expandable microSD card slot. As mentioned earlier the Mi A1 runs on Android One and it’s still not clear if one would be able to flash it with a MIUI ROM....

Air Masks aren’t something which you would normally expect from a smartphone brand, but with Xiaomi anything is possible. In fact, the company has a wide range of products ranging from Rice Cooker to a pen. But then again, Xiaomi always does something cool with these products. So you must be wondering what the heck would Xiaomi do with an air mask. That’s a natural question no doubt, but this Mi Purely Air Mask comes with an inbuilt fan and an air purifier that has a 99% success rate in filtering particles of PM 2....

One of the significant changes in the Mi Band 5 is the addition of the new magnetically attaching charging dock, which simplifies the charging experience. Compared to the previous models that required the need for the tracker to be removed from the strap and aligned perfectly with the cradle, the newer model has two nodes at the bottom of the tracker that can attach to the charging dock easily. Besides, another welcome change on the Mi Band 5 is the 1....

The Mi Mix 3 originally sported the Snapdragon 845 SoC from last year, which of course did not have 5G capabilities, so Xiaomi has swapped that out for the new 7nm based Snapdragon 855 SoC which has support for 5G networks, making the smartphone futureproof. With the new X50 modem from Qualcomm, Xiaomi claims up to 2Gbps of downlink speeds. The rest of the specifications remains identical to the original Mi Mix 3....

The key reasons for me to buy the new iPhone were – the previous one conked out, faith in the brand, and having the means to acquire a new one. The 7 is a beauty, the photos and video quality once again are great and I love the slo-mo. The Voice Memo sound quality works well for my thoughts and interviews and the Notes app is fantastic for scribbling a few quick ones....

Generally speaking, Juice Jacking is an evolving threat in cyberspace, which involves using the charging/data port on and Android/iOS device to install malware or copy sensitive user information/data from the device. Although the threat is relatively new, a few security researchers recently set up a charging kiosk at the DEFCON conference to educate people about the attack and demonstrate the illicit ways in which it can prove to be dangerous....

Round One: Design and appearance Of the two parameters that most clearly divide these two devices (the other is the last in the list – go to round seven), one is design. Both are large devices but that is where the similarity ends as far as appearance goes. The Mi Max Prime is quite a smart looking device but it still looks nowhere near as premium as the Zenfone 3 Ultra....

Realme X2 Pro vs OnePlus 7T: Different shades of Blue We, of course, get matters underway with that skin-deep quality: beauty. And here we must confess that it is a no-brainer as far as we are concerned. We had stated in our review that design was perhaps not the strongest suit of the Realme X2 Pro and it really gets shown up against the OnePlus 7T. Both phones come with a glass front and back, and both have a gradient finish....

Typical Gaming Design If you’re a fan of classy and subtle design, the ROG Phone II is everything but that. It screams “gamer” right in your face and that’s not saying that the ROG Phone II does not look appealing. It stands out from the blue coloured glass gradients that we’ve seen too much of. If you’re a gamer, which you would be if you’re interested in this phone, you’re bound to love the design....

The first thought that comes to the mind when you see the phone is that the color is unique. Nokia calls it Baltic and while I can’t really explain how it exactly feels and looks, it’s more like a hybrid between black and gray with a slate-like finish along with a subtle tinge of blue. It’s polycarbonate though, but feels really nice thanks to the matte finish. Don’t be too harsh on yourself if you thought it’s metal on first look....

Classy and surprisingly compact The look itself left us impressed. The Vivo X60 Pro is not too different in overall design from the X50 Pro we saw last year, but then the X50 Pro was a very good-looking phone and the X60 Pro follows in its very good-looking footsteps. At a time when phones are getting a little large, the X60 Pro is surprisingly on the compact side. It is 158....

That changes with the latest addition to the Mi 10 ranks. Do not get us wrong – the Mi 10i does have its share of flagship touches, but its audience is unabashedly more mainstream than its namesakes. Looking as picturesque as…a Pacific Sunrise! Mind you, you would not guess that by looking at it. For, the Mi 10i does cut a very smart figure. It bears very little resemblance to its siblings, the Mi 10 and the Mi10T and the Mi 10T Pro (which in turn did not look like the Mi 10, so we guess this is one disjoint design family)....

What is “Do Not Track”? Some of you will be shocked to know that your browser tracks all your activities on the net. It records the minutest of details of your every single click, every single web page you visit, the amount of time you spend online and all those details you might not want to share with someone else. And all this happens even without your consent. Your online activities no longer remain private....

As you’d expect, the new Outlook.com carries the Windows 8 metro looks and comes with tighter social integration. Microsoft is clearly aiming to consolidate its Office 2013 branding by clubbing its native Outlook email client on PCs with the webmail service. The user interface is in-line with Windows 8 Metro UI and even claims to be the first email service to integrate Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and Skype. If you are keen to understand the new features, check out the videos at the end of this article....

1. A Fresh Coat of Material Design Of course, the first thing you’ll notice as soon as you land on the new Gmail is the redesign. As the leaks suggested, it revamps all the core Gmail elements with a new, sleek look. However, the essentials are still there where they were before. All Google has done is added minor changes to make Gmail seem friendlier and well, less email-like. For instance, the icons have been tweaked, you can now check the attachments without opening the mail, and the left pane which accommodates folders now has circular backgrounds....

Despite all the fanfare, Netflix faces quite a lot of difficulties in India, some of which we’ll be detailing in this post. 1. Internet speeds & FUP Netflix’s popularity in the US has been based on ever increasing internet speeds in terms of both wireless and wired broadband. At least one third of Americans are on a cellular carrier that provides them with unlimited data plans. These carriers are Sprint and T-Mobile which provide unlimited data without any speed restriction unless users cross a 22-25GB threshold and happen to be latched on to a congested cell site....
