For starters, Google will be refining every latest version of Android (starting with the ‘O’ release) itself for devices running on 1 GB of RAM or less. Furthermore, this edition of Android will feature a rebuilt set of Google apps that are designed to consume lesser data, power, and energy for avoiding any sort of performance issues. This will also include a toned down version of the Play store which the company first showed off at an event in India a few months ago....

One sentence from the presentation stuck in my mind. “The version of Android does not matter,” the presenter said. “The quality of hardware and features that we have placed around it make the difference.” It was a theme whose variation we would hear again. And again. The years that followed saw Android displace Symbian as the most popular smartphone OS in the world, transforming it from Smartphone eminence to a ‘burning platform....

It will be interesting to see how these mobile giants approach the watch interface. Watch, unlike many other things is something vast majority of us carry, so getting the design right is a challenge. How do you make something which is already doing quite well? As you would expect, we already see the difference in opinions here. While Motorola is going with the traditional round face design, LG has chosen the tried and tested square face....

Coherent Navigation brings High Integrity GPS system to the table, something which as the company describes, is accurate within a few centimeters — compared to three to five meters in a vast majority of consumer-grade global positioning systems. Apple could tap on Coherent’s technologies and expertise to improve its mapping product though as you would imagine, Apple isn’t telling exactly what it plans to do with its new acquisition. Interestingly enough, Paul Lego, former Coherent CEO had joined Apple Maps team earlier this year....

1. Design The AirPods 3 looks similar to the AirPods Pro but without the silicon tip. It’s basically a hybrid between the AirPods 2 and the AirPods Pro. However, the stem on the AirPods 3 has been made a little shorter to make them more comfortable. Also, the angle of the drivers has been changed to shoot the sound at a better angle directly in your ears. The charging case on the AirPods 3 remains the same as the AirPods Pro....

Here are some of the highlights of the report: Apple, AirPods rule! A little to our surprise (given its high pricing), Apple turned out to be the dominant player in this segment. The company’s iconic AirPods accounted for 27 percent of the market share of TWS shipments in India in 2019. A lot of the sales were accounted for by the second-generation AirPods. Although the brand faces a lot of competition in the coming days, Counterpoint expects it to be a dominant player in terms of revenue share....

Smartphone sales recover after an early slowdown After a relatively quiet early part of the year, courtesy COVID, smartphone shipments returned to the growth part. Q4 2020 saw 385.9 million smartphones being shipped, up 4.3 percent from 369.9 million in Q4 2019. Mind you, the overall stats for 2020 still made for depressing reading with shipments declining 5.9 percent in 2020, going from 1372.6 million in 2019 to 1292.2 million in 2020....

Apple believes that its latest entrant into the smart speaker space has the potential to shake up the market in just the way the company had done with its iPods back in the 2000s. The HomePod is a compact smart speaker that’s capable of doing everything you would possibly expect from a product of its class. Needless to say, it comes with support for Apple’s own virtual assistant Siri....

The answer to that question is what drives most technology companies nowadays. Should they continue improving the services they’re good at or experiment with something that’s obviously won’t be as profitable as they hope for? Most conglomerates continue with both of these approaches, however, never truly worry about the ones that aren’t doing so well in the market. But in the process of all this, the organizations tend to forget one big part of the puzzle – the number of users which will ever use their service is limited, and unless they have a new plan ready to implement, there will be a point where enrolling more people will be near to impossible....

AirTags, just like the name would suggest, are tags that you attach to your existing devices or just about anything that’s valuable to you, like your keys, wallets, backpacks, etc., that help you track those accessories or devices in case you end up losing them. The way this works is that you link an AirTag to your iPhone, and using the built-in Find My app, you can track the AirTag in real-time....

So, if you’re planning to attend this year’s edition, you should know that it will take place between 8 and 12 June, as Apple informs on its official website. Just like it happens every year, Apple is expected to showcase its next big updates for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac software. Apple informs that this year’s WWDC edition will feature more than 100 technical sessions, over 1,000 Apple engineers, hands-on labs, and the Apple Design Awards....

The Series 4 Apple Watch now focuses more on the health aspect of users and introduces tons of new health and fitness related features, so let’s take a look at them along with some other nifty additions. Health-Related Features For starters, the Apple Watch series 4 can now detect unusual heart rates and notify you regarding the same. So, if your rate is detected to be unusually high or low for a prolonged time, you will be notified regarding the same along with a detailed record which can then be presented in front of a doctor....

Although this trend is only starting to emerge now, you can probably see a lot of people choosing a tablet over a laptop. The first one is lighter than the latter, its battery last longer, you can take it anywhere with you, and it is much cheaper than the second device. Apart from these ones, there are plenty of other benefits you can enjoy, but you probably won’t know how to appreciate them before going iPad-only for a certain period of time....

Well, not quite. Pumping up the volume can be injurious to health. Even while you are drowning in sound, you could literally be going deaf. Listening to music (or any other sound) at a very high volume can damage hearing. Which takes us to that question which is asked in just about every context, from binge-watching to binge eating: just how much is too much? How do you know if your trip to Lalaland on your earphones will affect your hearing?...

Therefore, we didn’t even include those kind of apps in our list, so everything that you will find here will help you download torrent files straight on your Android or iOS devices. If you have used a torrent app with your Android device and found it good (since it’s virtually impossible to find one for iPhone/iPad), let us know in the comments section. Some of the best torrent apps for Android devices KickassTorrents The KickassTorrents app is one of the latest torrent apps that have been launched for Android users but it has already managed to gather a loyal fan-base, with many of them probably being users of the kickass....

These days, looking for the best ‘All-in-One’ PC isn’t so easy. There are so many options available. Gone are the days where you only had to choose between the expensive high end units like the iMac and the low end units such as ‘Net-tops.’ As Tech has moved on, so has the range and availability of these machines to a much wider audience, this has meant that anybody from the minimalist office to the space starved bedroom can now utilize these machines to suit their needs....

However, even though eReaders still offer the best eBook reading experience, they are not the only solution at this point. As it turns out, you can also enjoy digital books on your computer: although to be able to do that, you need your eBooks in a format that is broadly compatible across various devices. EPUB (or electronic publication) is one such book format supported by various eReaders. It is basically an archive file comprising HTML, images, and a few other supporting files....

When you’re a musician, though, sharing this joy is not all about introducing others to nice bands. Being able to make music is a real gift, and for this reason, musicians need to make the most of their talent, at any given time. One way for them to enjoy music at all times is by taking it everywhere. Thanks to smartphones, this is now possible, and some of the greatest developers came up with apps that make it even easier....

The Passport has been unfairly square-shaped in some quarters. It is definitely not that (the length and width are distinctly differently), but that said, at 90.3 mm, it certainly is one of the widest handsets out there (the Note 4, which seems big, is a mere 78.6 mm!), giving it a slightly slabbish appearance. Whether it looks good or bad, however, is going to be a matter of taste. Those addicted to large touchscreens with sliver like thickness will find it ghastly....
