The software update to Realme 1 with version number CPH1861EX_11_C.45 has introduced ads inside system apps like Download Manager. As per some Twitter users, there is a new setting called “Get Recommendations” inside the “Additional settings” which is switched on by default. Interestingly, Francis Wang, CMO of Realme India responded to a user query on Twitter dismissing the claims saying it must be on the beta software only to be proved wrong as ads are indeed present on Realme 1 with C....

The reputed tipster further leaks that the LG Q6 will come with the same 18:9 display as found in the G6. This falls in line with Technobuffalo’s previous report which also reveals that the smartphone would have nearly 80% screen to body ratio. The LG Q6 is expected to come with a smaller 5.4-inch display. For the uninitiated, the LG G6 comes with 5.7-inch (2,880x1440p) IPS LCD panel. The alleged LG Q6 has apparently cleared FCC with the code name of M700....

Built using the Arduino system, Lockitron is still at its early stages and can be customized or amplified by developers until its official release, in March next year. At the moment, makers are trying to raise funds for at least one thousand devices for the first batch, but considering how wonderful and simple is their project, we have no fears they will make it. This application is a worthy component of your home’s security system....

Logitech’s X100 Mobile Wireless Speaker is priced at $49.99 (Rs.2249) which sounds like a great deal for the features it offers. In addition to music playback and decent battery life, it comes with speakerphone capabilities. The small cylindrical box gives it a nice retro look, but option of various colors makes it look cool as well. The X100 weighs around 161 grams, which is like holding a large smartphone (say, a Galaxy Note 3)....

This new service doesn’t save your passwords in an encrypted vault or in the cloud, being generated on-demand from your name, the site and your master password....

Despite the assurances, the move will come as a surprise to many since Linux and Microsoft have not been moving parallelly. In fact, the Linux users criticized Microsoft for not being open source enough while Microsoft took potshots as well. Moving on, Kremlin says that the initial skepticism is the part and parcel of such announcement and added that Microsoft has been contemplating the open source idea from very long time....

Microsoft Corporate VP of Windows 10 and head of Microsoft’s “PC-Tablet-Phone” division, Joe Belfiore, said on Twitter that the company would stop focusing on new features and hardware instead will continue to support the Windows 10 Mobile platform with bug fixes and security updates. With this, the company inadvertently puts forth the fact that they will soon be pulling the plug from the Windows 10 Mobile. — Joe Belfiore (@joebelfiore) October 8, 2017 Microsoft has been in the mobile operating system for more than two decades, and they were well known for the personal assistants that came out in the 2000’s....

This leaves us wondering what might be in Microsoft’s pipeline that the company is boasting about? Well for starters the Tweets by Panos Pranay contained the Surface hashtag. Also, the venue of the event is Shanghai instead of New York. In all likelihood, Microsoft may be lining up the Surface Pro 5 which will come with an update to Kabylake but apart from that we are left with no options but to presume that perhaps the announcement has something to do with the mixed reality....

But now that Windows 10 is out in the wild, it seems that Microsoft is confident that the Surface Pro 4 too is ready to take on such newly born rivals as the iPad Pro and the Google Pixel C. As it’s usually the case, the newest generation of the Surface Pro is thinner, lighter, and more powerful, but also features larger display than its predecessor. Just like a true flagship tablet, if we can say so, The Surface Pro 4 comes with the latest Intel Skylake processors and Microsoft’s Windows 10 with all of its newest features....

At first, this seems like a totally useless idea and something that would seem appropriate only on 1st April, but after receiving quite a lot of orders on Kickstarter, the company has actually shipped NoPhones to those who’ve ordered them. And now they’re ready to sell more, as the ‘thing’ has become available for purchase on their website for $12. Now, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but this is the perfect idea of a gift to give someone who spends too much time with their smartphones....

Apart from that, the Z3 Play is your usual mid-range smartphone. There’s a 6.01-inch Full HD+ OLED screen with an aspect ratio of 18:9 and the phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636 chipset. The battery capacity hasn’t been altered as it’s still a 3000mAh pack. Of course, the biggest highlight of Motorola’s higher-end phones is that they’re compatible with the company’s modular accessories and the Z3 Play is no different....

Ojoy A1 Watch Review Ojoy is an Indian startup based out of Chennai. They have built two smartwatches for kids – Ojoy A1 and Ojoy B1. Not only are they designed for kids, but they have also built keeping parents in mind. After using it for over two weeks, I can say once you give this to your kid, the convenience can spoil you. It’s a good thing though. I can find out where my son is, can call him anytime I want, and he can do that as well....

Looks…very familiar! Mind you, it does so in a manner that is surprisingly understated. OnePlus rattled a lot of the competition with its very different phones and audio products. With fitness bands, however, it seems to have taken the path most traveled. The OnePlus Band with its capsule-fitting-into-a-strap design is not going to stand out from the general fitness brand crowd in terms of design. At slightly more than 20 grams in weight, it will sit easily on most wrists, and is comfortable to wear....

Plotagraph (or Plotagraph+ Photo Animator to use its full official name) is one such app. It is a photograph editing app that lets you add animation to your picture. And, for those thinking animations has something to do with animated characters or cartoons, let’s just clear the air by telling you: No. By animation, we mean that it allows you to move or bring movement to a static part of your picture....

You would notice that most of Qualcomm’s recent launches are heavily focused on gaming which is apparent by the use of the suffix ‘G’ in the nomenclature. With more and more smartphone users taking up mobile gaming in the form of games like PUBG Mobile (now Battlegrounds Mobile India), COD Mobile, Free Fire, etc., it only makes sense for Qualcomm to manufacture SoCs that cater to people’s needs and it seems as though they have been doing a good job lately....

But, a major problem with Rapidshare has been that, if you do not have a premium account, you are forced to wait for some time before the actual file is available for download. We had previously seen a Rapidshare hack which involved typing in a javascript to reset the timer count to 0, which still works for many. But now, with RapidShare Countdown Remover Extension for Google Chrome, you can instantly download the files!...

Bigger than a band, smaller than a watch Xiaomi has been using the term “Redmi Smart Band Pro SportsWatch” to refer to the Redmi Smart Band Pro, clearly revealing its watch aspirations. In design terms, it is definitely closer to a fitness band, but its extra width does give a slight watch-like look. There are no navigation buttons on it at all, although the bezels around the display are not very slim....

When we are talking of the race of the cheapest 4G phone, and hence more than anything we need to bring up the price first – Rs 4,545. And all through the review we will primarily focus on basing thoughts and inputs around this. Swipe Elite 2 is designed to be a very handy phone and comes with an all plastic build. The contour of the phone from a distance would instantly remind you of the iPhone 3G, thanks to the curvature on the edges....

Similar fronts, and prismatically different backs And the Galaxy A50s does a daily good job of being an improved version of the Galaxy A50. In terms of proportion, it is exactly the same size and weight as the A50 – 158.5 x 74.5 x 7.7 mm and 166 grams – and from the front, both phones look like twins who were separated cruelly by an S-shaped destiny at a festival, with 6....
