If you are in the market for power banks, you’ll see that several manufacturers are offering power banks in various shapes and sizes, and in variety of price segments. With such a heavy surge of local and international brands, it gets immensely tough to pick and choose a reliable power bank. Over the past few weeks, we have been testing the Zook ZP-PB10000, so how good is it? Let’s find out....
The Zopo Speed 8 features a 5.5-inch FHD display and is powered by the deca-core Helio X20 MT6797 alongside a 4GB of RAM. On the imaging front, the device offers 21-Megapixel primary Sony IMX 230 Sensor with f/2.2 aperture and a dual-LED flash. The secondary camera unit comes in the form of 8-Megapixel secondary sensor which also comes with a LED flash module and a f/2.0 aperture. The device runs on Android 6....
For starters, it’s worth noting that the ZTE Axon Mini was launched towards the end of the last year and was among the first phones to come with the much touted 3D/Force Touch (or whatsoever you may call it) feature. The Axon Mini is in fact a part of the Axon Elite, Axon Pro and Axon Max lineup, so it’s quite disappointing to see ZTE delay the India launch. That said, the ZTE Axon Mini marks the entry of the company’s Axon lineup of phone in the country, thereby making us believe that we may end up seeing more phone with this branding....
They both bunked college, changed the computer world as we know it, and well, made millions and millions of dollars. And were always seen as rivals, especially in the eighties, although their relationship mellowed with the passage of time. But well, before the mellowing, there was a fair bit of rivalry between Jobs and Gates, each of whom evidently wanted to be seen as the poster boy of Silicon Valley....
This is why the main – some would say indeed the only – qualification for a device to be a flagship is supposed to be the processor. If that were not the case, the Poco X2 or the Realme 6 Pro would be considered as much a flagship as the OnePlus 8 or the iQOO 3. Processors matter. A lot. And THAT is why the iPhone SE (2020) is such a formidable device....
Appearance: Look, you want classy or glassy? When it comes to design, both the Realme X and Realme XT are cut from a broadly similar cloth and have a slightly premium feel to them. They also are available in Blue and White, although the X calls them Space Blue and Polar White while the XT calls them Pearl Blue and Pearl White. Both phones have gradient finishes, and the light will make patterns of those backs....
Selfie cameras stars in a standard spec sheet In terms of sheer numbers, the Mobiistar XQ Dual might not stand out but it does not disappoint either. The device sports a 5.5-inch full HD display with screen resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels with 2.5D glass on top (we could not find any mention of Gorilla Glass protection) – sorry, 18:9 aspect ratio fans, this one is more traditional, and to be fair, 18:9 is still a rarity at this price point....
Xpress-ing the Lumia Love The Nokia 1’s exterior, in a lot of ways, reminds us of the company’s now discontinued Lumia series. It comes in bright, jaunty shades and features a curved polycarbonate shell that feels surprisingly pleasant to hold. The shell — which Nokia calls Xpress-On covers — can be swapped with other colors. Although the company has not announced how much each of them will cost. The phone itself is only available in two colors, Warm Red, and Dark Blue....
In the event, OnePlus pulled a price rabbit out of its hat, with much lower prices in India. The OnePlus 8 started at Rs 41,999, and the 8 Pro at Rs 54,999. Interestingly, though the base model of the OnePlus 8 series was a 6 GB/ 128 GB variant, as compared to the 8 GB/ 128 GB one in the US. But still, these were amazingly lower prices – in fact, even the 8 GB / 128 GB variant of the OnePlus 8 in India is priced at Rs 44,999, which translates roughly into USD 590, much lower than the US price....
Without getting into the specifics, Lei Jun hinted at launching Android One-based Redmi smartphones specifically in India. “Yes, we plan to have more Android One devices. Some of our users in India seem to like stock Android, and we are willing to bring in more devices with Android One including the Redmi series“, said Mr. Jun. “We are sorry” Acknowledging the issue with regards to the products being out of stock all the time, Mr....
It seems that every phone manufacturer in the world is obsessed with putting more and more horsepower in their phones, larger touchscreens and better cameras. Also, connectivity is the word of this decade, so smartphones have better integration with just about anything nowadays. It would seem that they have forgotten what cell phones should do: make and receive calls and texts and not run out of battery after a few hours....
With the Audible Plus membership, which costs around $7.95 per month, you have access to the entire audiobook collection, but you can not keep the books. Audible Premium Plus membership, which costs $14.95 per month, includes all the benefits of Audible Plus and offers 1 credit per month to select and keep any audiobook from the library. While this sounds like a good deal on its own, there are cheaper Audible alternatives that offer similar service options and better support....

So if you are a macOS user, and you wish to improve your workflow on your Mac, here are some essential Mac productivity apps you must have on your Mac. Essential Mac Productivity Apps 1....
Chrome Nanny – Chrome Nanny is a simple extension for Google Chrome which can be used to block particular websites. You can set up white-lists, black-lists and the extent to which the black-listed web sites are blocked. It provides all the flexibility you would need to effectively use your time online and can also be disabled or uninstalled with a click. But then, the purpose is to be focused, right?...
Despite constant deadline pitfalls and acquisitions, Tesla is still standing straight and is better than ever, their Model 3 received almost 400,000 registrations crowning it as one of the most successful cars in the US. They’ve been continuously expanding factories and the extremely criticized autopilot function certainly, looks promising. But that was the past. Elon Musk, in a blog post, revealed a bunch of new and upcoming strategies Tesla will be implementing....
sRGB Mode Most OEMs nowadays offer RGB-enabled screens out-of-the-box. RGB, for the uninitiated, essentially means all the colors which can be created using Red, Green, and Blue. However, Android isn’t entirely calibrated to this setting and as a result, displays tend to be oversaturated and exhibit inaccurate colors. Fortunately, many phones now come with an option for switching to sRGB which in layman’s terms, basically is a subset of RGB and more importantly, well-suited to Android’s native profile....
It’s the new UI that’s the most interesting feature to me. And it’s for all the platforms. Even the drop-down menu in the Chrome extension was revamped. And it’s clear why. It might not sound like much, but Pushbullet just went from a service that lets you send stuff between your devices and occasionally your friends to being a messaging service. The Android app is now divided into three sections: Friends, Me, and Following....
New Airtel Plans and Tariffs Airtel has released a list of old vs new plans and tariffs on their website and here is a screenshot depicting the same. The bare minimum recharge stays the same at Rs. 19 with a validity of 2 days and offers unlimited calling with 100 SMS messages and 150MB of mobile data. The next recharge, which used to be for Rs. 35 and was the minimum recharge value to keep your connection alive for 28 days has now been revised to Rs....
Jio’s apps have cunningly enabled a permission which essentially allows themselves to overlay content on any other application. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you are using them or not. The fix is quite straightforward, though. You merely need to disable the permission setting for each app that belongs to Jio’s suite of services such as JioMusic, JioTV, JioCinema, and others. Unfortunately, you’ll have to repeat the process for every one of them....
But if you already know how awesome Google Now is, – and if you have an Android phone with Jelly Bean then you should now – then you understand the excitement behind bringing Google Now to other OS platforms. Google Now is the awesome feature that shows you search results without you having to look for them. Sure, this brings up again the issue of tracking and privacy, but if we believe Google abides by its motto (don’t be evil), this shouldn’t harm us that much....
