Behind the aegis of promises such as a true wireless future, one port for everything, better and richer technologies, companies have made inexplicable compromises without proper measures and consideration of the rest of the user experience. In an attempt to outpace others and expand their portfolios rapidly to match the industry’s pace, these conglomerates have consciously or unconsciously contrived an irrevocable estate of walled gardens. The Type-C Drama USB Type-C is undoubtedly the most suitable epitome of this conundrum....

The Wanle Gamers Console comes with a small LCD display. The controls for the gaming console are slightly raised and the buttons are shaped similar to the classic handhelds.

The makers claim that the case is thin and it doesn’t actually feel like you are snapping on to something bulky....

Such is the case with UsBidi, a new smart charger which is described as “reliable, battery saving, time saving, mess/tangle free, and worthy of our beloved phones and tablets“. It’s said to be the most intelligent charger currently available on the market, and judging by its features, we don’t think this is a far-fetched affirmation.

While the earbuds look familiar to the AirPods and have an open design, the case has a boxier look that sets it apart. Anyhow, moving on from design, the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 comes with Bluetooth 5.0 and support for LDHC codec for Hi-Res audio. They even come with dual microphones for noise-cancellation. However, the noise-cancellation is not ANC, rather it is ENC which stands for Environmental Noise Cancellation....

iPhone XR – for all ye in search of iPhone newness (Rs 76,900) Yes, that price makes one redefine the term “affordable,” but on the flip side, there can be no arguing with the fact that the iPhone XR is almost a fourth cheaper than the base iPhone XS. And while that price cut does come with compromises in terms of hardware (no full HD display, no dual cameras, an aluminum frame rather than a steel one), the XR also has its own share of aces up its sleeve – the A12 processor is the same seen on the XS and XS Max and delivers similarly stunning speed, the design is easily the most colorful in recent iPhone history (and the XR is a looker), the single camera is good enough to make you doubt the need for dual ones (a la the Pixel 3), and well, the battery life is the best we have EVER seen on ANY iPhone, easily getting past a day of normal use....

The caveat, however, is that the Radar app is not yet available for Android and yet another let-down is that the app would work out best for people who use Yahoo as their primary mailbox. The Radar app seems to be taking a cue from the AI interfaces as a result of which the app heavily relies on the chatbot-like interface. Yahoo Radar borrows a feature or two from the Google Now, the application digs deep into your mailbox and skims the travel information stored within....

“Blogs know about my allergies as well?! This is weird.” It’s no secret that surfing the Internet isn’t as private as it used to be. Every move you make, every page you visit contributes to building your digital profile. Little scripts called “trackers” are anchored to your browser for logging your browsing habits. Later, this information is fed into websites’ algorithms for displaying advertisements and promotional content tailored specifically for a particular user....

Does it succeed? We will reveal that in our review, but as of now, here are our initial impressions of the new Honor phone in six points: It is the spiritual successor of the 9 Lite The 9N is pretty much the successor of the 9 Lite. And it plays pretty much the same cards: very good design, a compact form factor (the phone is very comfortable to hold) and decent hardware (that Kirin 659 chip again) at a price that is relatively on the lower side when you consider the sheer premium appearance of the device....

A minute of dance and rap… A little over a minute long, the ad titled “Realme 5 series” starts with four girls dancing on an upbeat tune after which a guy in his early 20s comes in the frame holding a Realme 5 series phone and says “we are the real5quad (that’s how they spell real squad because it is the 5 series), we are the realme”. He then starts rapping about the phone, in which he highlights how there are a number of features in the phone, which includes a 48-megapixel quad-camera setup with ultra-clear, wide-angle, macro and bokeh like features....

Rahul Sharma points to a table that is covered with phones. As usual. A geek’s dream, maybe, but perhaps not quite the Micromax CEO’s cup of tea for a chat. When we insist it is perfectly all right (hey, we love talking with phones all round), he settles down, tall, slim frame almost blending into a chair. “I liked your article,” he says to Akriti, referring to a piece she had written on TechPP on Micromax’s silence in recent times....

I hope this finds you well. Well, actually I think it does. It is a great time for you, isn’t it? I mean, everyone talks about you the moment they talk about any phone.

And now you seem to be doing your best to get rid of me....
