The M1 note was launched in China back in December 2014 for around $160, and was touted as an iPhone 5C clone by some people within the industry. Although Meizu is relatively new to the smartphone OEM space, it has managed to do quite well in China taking on the biggies like Xiaomi, Huawei and Lenovo. They follow similar business strategy as Xiaomi, by pricing their products competitively and cutting down the costs on marketing by taking the social media and forum routes....

Essentially, the new Tab will allow users to group the tabs in a much better way. The feature will be available for Windows 10 Preview users and Microsoft is currently calling it “Sets.” It is quite likely that the new tab integration will be limited to the Universal Windows apps, at least in the beginning. Microsoft will conclude how well the beta goes and the feature is likely to undergo several rounds of tweaking before it goes live for the general public....

Surface Laptop, unlike other Surface products, is a rather straightforward notebook. There’s no button through which you can detach the screen and use it as a tablet or a rotating hinge so that you can flip it around in several positions. It’s your average laptop made by Microsoft with a few, of course, Microsoft things. For starters, while the Surface Laptop’s exterior is made out of aluminum, its keyboard has a microfibre material called Alcantara....

Small wonder then that when the first update for the device was released (the one that took the device to Cyanogen OS 12.0 – YNG1TBS2P2), one of the issues that it claimed to address – apart from heating (something we did not really face) and the usual bug fixes to ‘improve performance’ – was the camera. We were told that the update would improve close ups and low light performance....

Instagrammers will now be able to easily promote their accounts using the Nametags. I have seen many Instagram users put up their username alongside a follow request. With the Nametags in place, you can simply scan the image and follow the person. This feature is also likely to help the businesses and other prominent social media handles to promote their Instagram accounts. Perhaps they will print the Nametags on their merchandise....

It is a ten-second long video and was first seen on Xiaomi’s official Weibo handle. It shows a person using the smartphone in an unfolded (open) state in portrait mode, scrolling through some content. He goes back to the home screen and changes the smartphone’s orientation to landscape, and then folds it from both the sides before placing it on a box. Upon noticing closely, a few seconds of lag in the animation can be noticed on a couple of occasions....

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....

Nokia X, which has been rumored for months, while it doesn’t sport the best of specifications you can otherwise find in the market for lesser bucks, is more about changing standards and shifting dynamics than just shelling out yet another Android phone. As Former CEO of Nokia, Stephen Elop pointed out, Microsoft wants to allure more users to its platform, people, who were using Google services otherwise. Nokia X As previously noted, the device’s technical details won’t leave your jaw-dropped....

No secrets anymore? We can keep some A few days ago, I had written a grumpy piece about how launch events had become reduced to leak confirmations and price announcements. Well, credit where credit is due – most people were totally caught off balance by the spec sheet of both the Redmi Note 7 and the Note 7 Pro. While most were predicting they would be between Rs 10,000-15,000 types, in best Redmi Note tradition, not many expected a main Sony sensor and a Snapdragon 675 chip on the 7 Pro....

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....

Beauty is skin deep, and I am skinny – I want them looks! You would have thought that this would be gimme for the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition with its Papaya Orange accents and that subtle pattern around the camera (do not try to clean it up, please). And we won’t deny that it looks classy as hell, but know something? Perhaps the most distinct OnePlus device out there is actually the OnePlus 7T, thanks to that spherical camera enclosure on the back....

OnePlus 8: Design and Display In terms of design, the OnePlus 8 features an all-glass design with a glass back and curved edges that offer a slim profile, coming at 8mm thickness. The phone comes with 3D Gorilla Glass protection on the back and is available in two finishes and three color options, with Onyx Black and Interstellar Glow available in gloss-finish, and the Glacial Green offered in a matte glass finish....

What hasn’t changed in the past year is the price and for an Android phone, that’s commendable. OnePlus One still runs $299 for 16 GB version and $349 for 64 GB. OnePlus One released with Cyanogen OS 11S which also marked CyanogenMod’s first successful commercial release (full OnePlus One spec list here). You’d think all these ups and downs in mom and dad’s relationship would affect the young ones. But no....

The OPPO Enco X is one such pair of TWS earbuds. It was announced in 2020 and offered excellent sound, effective noise cancelation, and an assortment of attention-grabbing features. But like most TWS, it, too, had some shortcomings. To address these and provide an improved experience over the Enco X, OPPO has launched its latest pair of earbuds for the year, the OPPO Enco X2. Successor to the Enco X, the Enco X2 are a result of OPPO’s continued partnership with Dynaudio that promise to deliver great audio, wireless charging, a combined listening time of 40 hours, and plenty of other valuable features....

The device sports a touch button cordoned with a 12 color LED that will indicate the pollution status in the last 12 hours without actually having to rely on the companion app for the same. The flow tracker is designed to work both outdoors and indoors and will be able to detect particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide, ozone, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), temperature and also the humidity. Flow tracker comes with a leather strip and can be tagged along conveniently....

Starting from today, whenever you look up a flight number, route or airline, Google will display a warning if its algorithms are anticipating a delay. To achieve this, the company will scour through a bunch of historical data to form a pattern. It will consider factors such as the location, weather forecasts, and information from the aircraft’s previous trips. If the outcomes are at least 80 percent sure that the flight will be postponed, Google will throw in an alert in the search results....

Realme says it has introduced a new design language on the Buds Air 2, which it suggests inherits the curvy aesthetics of the previous generation (Buds Air) while also adopting a two-one color splicing design. In addition, the earbuds are said to have undergone what Realme calls a “matte process” that prevents fingerprints and smudges on the surface and ensures the earbuds stay securely in your ear. The earbuds come in at 4....
