Those are the words that come in the Welcome Letter that accompanies the OnePlus Nord, signed by the OnePlus Nord Team. And in many ways, those sum up the core thinking behind the product. The Nord does not claim to be out there for a spec battle with the competition. Instead, it tries to revisit a zone that many Android devices – including OnePlus’ own- have been guilty of avoiding for a while now....
OpenVid is completely free and unlike some of the other tools, it comes devoid of time limit or any other cap over the features. The caveat though means that one needs to refer to users to OpenVid in order to get unlimited features free. The new update has further bettered the offering by integrating front camera recordings in a Picture-in-Picture format. The entire desktop can be recorded and once done the videos will be uploaded....
The F3 Plus, mini-fied, minus some specs…and bucks! In terms of appearance, just as in name, the F3 is a slightly scaled down version of its big brother (literally – it is a whole lot bigger), the F3 Plus. You can read more about its design in our First Cut of the F3, but suffice to say here that if you like the appearance of the iPhone, you will like the F3....

With NavIC, India became only the fifth country in the world to have its own GPS system. NavIC consists of 7 GPS satellites with plans to expand that to 11 in the future. It has two levels of service – the “standard positioning service”, which will be open for civilian use, and a “restricted service” (an encrypted one) for authorized users (including the military). With the collaboration, the idea is to accelerate the adoption of NavIC and enhance the geolocation capabilities in the fields of mobile, automotive industry, and the Internet of Things (IoT)....
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 ACPC aims to solve one of the major pain points of traditional x86 powered systems, well, the battery life. Most of the modern day laptops and ultrabook fail to deliver an impressive battery performance, with a majority of devices dying within 4-5 hours of constant usage. Qualcomm aims to raise this bar, as its new Snapdragon 850 platform will offer up to 25 hours of battery life on a single charge....
The malware — which pretends to be Federal Bureau of Investigation — fools the victim into believing that they are guilty of watching child pornography among other criminal activities. As part of which their device has been locked out. Ransomware encrypts all the files it could find on the system and password protect them. Victims are given a time period of 24 to 12 hours in which they are directed to pay up a large chunk of money if they want to have access to their files again....
Realme X50 Pro: Design and Display In terms of design, the Realme X50 Pro features an all-glass design with a low-key and less saturated colorway. Realme says the low-saturation color scheme helps the device retain its high-end texture look, and gives it a more appealing look. The X50 Pro comes in two color options: Moss Green and Rust Red, which the company suggests to have been inspired by an unknown matter in outer space....
Realme X7 and X7 Pro Display The Realme X7 comes with a 6.43-inch AMOLED, with a 2.5D glass on top and Corning’s Gorilla Glass protection. It offers an FHD+ resolution. On the other hand, the Realme X7 Pro has an ever-so-slightly slightly bigger 6.55-inch AMOLED. The display comes with Gorilla Glass 5 protection and includes a 2.5D glass on top. It offers an FHD+ screen resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate....
Reliance Jio is expected to be priced so low that it would undermine the offerings from the other telecos. Airtel has also taken up the cue and has revised a majority of its 3G/4G plans in order to gear itself for the competition. The most recent example being the 10GB of free data with Samsung Galaxy J Series phones. Also, Jio is nearing its commercial launch and it is most likley that the same is slated in the second half of this year....
Alto’s Adventure was an endless runner game that did not really spread like wildfire in a dry forest but more like a subtle stream of water that pretty much-rejuvenated everything it touched. And that was because it focused not on frenetic action but a much more peaceful, if just as continuous, journey. So even while the contemporaries of the game started feeling old and boring to many, Alto’s Adventure just seemed to flow along....
The one thing that worries potential buyers is the design and build quality that are normally compromised in the quest to lower the pricing. Coolpad Note 3’s overall design is nothing great, but nothing shabby either. Coming at 9.33mm thickness and weighing close to 160 gms, the device is heavy but thanks to the curved edges and the contour on the back, it fits neatly into one’s palm. The baby skin finish on the back (as Coolpad names it) brings in a matte finish ensuring the heavy phone taken over by gravity is not slippery....
That might sound unexciting and simple but the A-series proved last year that a mid-ranger can get big numbers – the Samsung’s Galaxy A51 was one of the highest-selling smartphones globally in 2020. And now we have the successor to that bestseller, the Samsung Galaxy A52. Yes, it has big – wait, make that “huge” – shoes to fill. Just how well does it do that? Not your “smartphone next door” In the smartphone world, there are only a handful of brands that step away from the “follow the trend” bandwagon when it comes to design....
Samsung Galaxy M31s: Design and Display The Galaxy M31s comes with a gradient finish design on the back with a 9.3mm thin chassis. Towards the front, it features a 6.5-inch SuperAMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution and a cutout in the center for housing the front-facing camera. Furthermore, the display also comes with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top. The device comes in two color options: Mirage Black and Mirage Blue....
Samsung’s track record with the Galaxy series is pretty impressive, having sold over 200 million devices worldwide, and if the trend keeps it, the Galaxy S5 will have lots of sales. The design of the device is somewhat similar to the old Galaxy S2, having a more “blocky” design than the Samsung Galaxy S4. The look of the device is also influenced by its colour, and in this case, the Galaxy S5 will be available in charcoal Black, shimmery White, electric Blue and copper Gold....

Of course, on top of that, you will find the custom Samsung Experience UX skin too....
Never be afraid to learn When he was nearing the end of his career as a player, Benaud decided that he wanted to be involved in cricket commentary. No, he did not walk into the commentary box, but he actually took an intensive course in the field and also served as a reporter. I cannot think of too many who would do that. There’s a bit more to writing than just opening a blog or launching a site....
Monochrome The Huawei P9/P10 might have grabbed all the attention with its monochrome mode featuring a tie-up with Leica, but if you are looking for some serious colorless photography, the Honor 8 Pro can deliver a serious dollop there. And this is because just like the P9, one of the dual cameras on its back is a monochrome one. Yes, it ensures sharper detail when working in combination with the other camera and stunning low light shots, but go to Monochrome mode and all your photography happens through the dedicated monochrome lens, bringing back memories of another day and another era....
