You get the idea. The Redmi Note series has seen itself expand into a family of sorts over the past three years or so, with a Pro and a Pro Max being added to the line (we expect a simple Max to join the club at some stage). But the “plain” Note continues to play a key role in its success, being the most affordable of the series that sticks to its core philosophy of maybe missing out on flashy features but doing the basics very well indeed....

High on substance, low on style We had touched upon the appearance of the OnePlus 3 and how it differs from its predecessors in our first impressions of the device. Suffice to say, it differs significantly from its predecessors and ditches its trademark sandstone finish back for a smooth metallic one, that makes it look more like a HTC device than a OnePlus one (pun unintentional this time). It might not be as distinct as the OnePlus One or the OnePlus 2, but the OnePlus 3 is a handsome phone nevertheless and one that no one will shy from flaunting – we just wish that camera on the back did not jut out so, but then no one is perfect....

The Galaxy On7 Prime will be available in two variants — one with 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage and another with 4GB RAM and 64GB of memory. The phone also supports SD card for expanding the storage up to 256GB.

The listing reveals two color options — Black and Gold....

The Galaxy J4 Core sports a 6-inch HD+ 720 x 1480 pixels display on the front which is a TFT LCD panel, a considerable upgrade from its predecessor, the J2 Core which had a qHD display. Under the hood, the Galaxy J4 Core houses a quad-core chip clocked at 1.4 GHz which is still unnamed, but given that it is a budget-centric device, we expect it to feature the Exynos 7270 SoC which was also found on the J2 Core....

The Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G (henceforth simply called the Fold 2 to convince our editors we are not just trying to boost word counts) is not for the doubters. It is for the believers. If you do not believe in it, you will not like it. If you are on the fence about foldables, however, it might just help you make up your mind. Though in what sense depends on what you are looking for....

We really wanted to save this till the end, but figured why not break the good news at the start! The Gear Fit 2 is truly a good successor to the original Gear Fit and we have fallen in love with it. The first thing that strikes you is that gorgeous AMOLED display coming at 1.5 inches packing 432 x 216 pixels that is curved just about right for convenience....

Speaking to ZDnet, the company has now officially confirmed that it will officially remove Windows Media Center from Windows 10, but we should’ve seen this company, especially as Redmond has discontinued development of Windows Media Center in 2009. Gabe Aul from Windows said the following: — Gabriel Aul (@GabeAul) May 4, 2015 Therefore, you should know that any PC that is upgraded from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 will lose the Media Center functionality, and you can’t get it by downgrading, so think twice before making the jump....

At the office, a smartphone is a great gadget to have. It allows you to check your email, talk, browse the web and many other things, but one place where the potential has remained untouched is for faxing. There are some pretty good faxing apps available for most smartphones and users can try them out and use them for their businesses. Advantages of faxing from a smartphone First and foremost, the biggest advantage you can have is that you always carry your smartphone with you....

What is this “Cloud”? For those who think of “the cloud” as a fluffy white thing floating in the air, well, you are wrong (at least in this context). The cloud actually refers to “cloud computing” and “cloud storage”. This means that the cloud is a vast network of computers and servers located around the world, which hold information and allow access to that information from any device that has an Internet connection....

The Microsoft Surface Book 2 is primarily aimed at creative professionals and hence, comes with top-of-the-line hardware.

The deal however values the shares at a higher $24, a premium of nearly 16% which also turns out to be its highest in the last 52 weeks....

Touchscreens, until recently, were limited to two-dimensional input. When ‘Force Touch’, a less refined version of 3D Touch, was introduced with the Apple Watch in late 2014, some imagined the implications of this tech onto screens the size of phones and tablets. A year later, Huawei beat Apple to this by a few days with the Mate S. But since it’s a custom implementation, you can be pretty sure that app developers will not make use of this till Google officially rolls out support for pressure-sensitive screens....

The offer comes on the heels of Microsoft discontinuing the Surface 3 lineup, a device that would have otherwise appealed to the student buyers budget. It is still unclear if the Surface 3 will have an immediate successor or if Microsoft will continue piggybacking on the more expensive Surface 4 Pro lineup. Microsoft is expected to focus on refreshing the Surface Pro and the Surface Book line up next year....

Of course, if that pair costs a small fortune, you may want to think about saving up for something better instead.

When a watch is missing from the wrist and you tend to spend a lot of time around the computer, the best option is an online alarm clock, one with a full, synchronized timer and which will notify the user using sound messages. There are more than a couple of websites capable of delivering this service and a bit more, but we’ve taken some time to check out the best, right here....

While SSDs are certainly a better option than regular storage drives, the effectiveness of this technology may become very limited when the price drops under a certain threshold. Besides acknowledging the price / quality dependency, one must also take in consideration certain parameters, like the storage space, the maximum reading speed and the real-one, compatibility, reliability and others (read our guide on how to choose an SSD or how to optimize one)....

Fast application and service provisioning, flexible reaction to load changes, low-touch management, network-centric access, and the capacity to move workloads from one site to another are all features of cloud computing. To sum it up, cloud computing is more of a cuneiform for the important things happening in IT, than it is a precise technology. The name “Cloud Computing” comes from the utilization of a cloud image to symbolize the internet....

Why are these such a no-brainer at that price? Well, they were launched at a price of Rs 14,999 in mid-2018, and even then were seen as potential AirPod killers. And although they have been succeeded by the much-acclaimed Elite 75T, they remain an excellent pair of truly wireless earphones. And at that their sub-Rs 5,000 price, are way ahead of anything the competition has to offer. In fact, their official price listing on the Jabra India site remains at Rs 11,999....

An impressively steady customer The RedmiBook 15 Pro (hence referred to as the RedmiBook for the sake of simplicity) will know exactly what we are talking about. Xiaomi’s latest notebook cuts a very impressive figure not just on paper but also in real life. This is too early to talk of its performance, but it does tick a lot of spec boxes – a 15.6 inch full HD display, the 11th Gen TigerLake Intel core i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD storage, three USB ports (one USB 2....
