A familiar spec sheet with some changes… That leaves the Realme 8 with quite a lot to do. And we are not too sure it actually succeeds in doing what is expected. Let us get one thing out of the way – the Realme 8 is a very decent proposition in many regards. It comes with a 6.4 inch Super AMOLED full HD+ display (with a 60 Hz refresh rate, rather than the 90 Hz on the Realme 7) and runs on the impressive MediaTek Helio G95, which is known as one of the best gaming chips in the Rs 15,000 price range and comes with a large 5000 mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging....

Closer Black, Closer White…and distant from AirPods! In terms of design, the Realme Buds Air 2 come with a reasonably mainstream look and this time cannot be accused of being inspired by that fruity company in Cupertino. The buds come in a glossy case that is squoval (squarish oval) and compact and light enough, and has a single LED in front to show battery status. The buds themselves are about four grams each, and come with a stem and a top that are slightly shiny – our Closer Black one had dark blue accents on it....

Both screens are expected to be 4.2-inch FHD units. The Samsung SM-W2018 will be powered by the Snapdragon 835 coupled with 6GB of RAM. The phone is expected to offer 64GB of internal storage on the storage front. The SM-W2018 is likely to end up being the most powerful clamshell phone; not that many are around. The Samsung SM-W2018 is also well equipped on the imaging front; the phone offers a 12-Megapixel camera on the rear and a 5-Megapixel unit on the front....

Here’s all you need to know about the Exynos 1080 The latest Samsung SoC builds on the 5nm fabrication process as opposed to the 7nm-based Exynos 990, which should improve the power efficiency to a certain degree. It is an octa-core processor based on the 1+3+4 configuration. The configuration features one Cortex-A78 core (clocked at 2.8GHz), three Cortex-A76 cores (clocked at 2.6GHz), and four Cortex-A55 cores (clocked at 2GHz). According to the company’s claims, the single-core performance on the Exynos 1080 has been improved by 50%, with a roughly 2x gain in multi-core performance....

Plastic that rocks metallic looks Glass is the trendy smartphone material at the moment. Any phone that comes with a glass back suddenly gets termed as premium, so it comes as no surprise that smartphone manufacturers want to make everything look like glass, even plastic. Samsung is one of the brands that broke away from the trend. It introduced smartphones that came with plastic backs but, more importantly, did not masquerade as glass and stood loud and proud....

The bigger, the better, right? If you follow this maxim, you may have noticed that the smartphone world is moving along the same path. It may come as a surprise, but Dell was really one of the pioneers in the large-screened smartphone category, or phablets as some like to call them, with its 5-inch Streak. However, due to various reasons, the Streak didn’t find favor with too many people and eventually withered away into the annals of phone history....

To recall, the Galaxy Z Flip is the second foldable smartphone from the brand but is not necessarily a successor to the Galaxy Fold which follows a different design language. Unlike its big brother, the Galaxy Fold, the Galaxy Z Flip is a clamshell-type device that opens up vertically and folds into a smaller form factor that’s easily pocketable. On the inside of the Galaxy Z Flip is the Snapdragon 855+ chipset and thankfully, Samsung has retained the same internals even for the variant going to be sold in India, unlike the S20 series which gets the Exynos 990 SoC instead of the Snapdragon 865 on the US variants....

The Gallery app segregates your photos based on Pictures, Albums, and Stories. Apart from that the gallery app also offers the basic editing and media sharing options. The Stories section is pretty much similar to the “Assistant” feature in the Google Photo App, the one that automatically curates the pictures from your last trip and brings it to the forefront. Moving on, the Play store description doesn’t seem to be convincing since it is laced with bad English and equally awful grammar errors....

Showing your wares off was never as easy as it has been made by Screencasting. A screencast is a movie of your computer screen that is habitually used to demonstrate how specific features of a software are used. Showing people your product will boost its popularity into people’s memory and catch their attention.

The TCL Movetime smartwatch precedes the Moveband fitness tracker which was launched at Rs 1,999 a few weeks earlier. The main highlight of the TCL Movetime smartwatch is its integrated heart rate sensor. This feature was apparently missing in the TCL Moveband fitness tracker. That aside, the TCL Movetime comes with all other functionalities one would expect from a smartwatch. The TCL Movetime looks just like a standard watch with a round face and a black TPU leather strap....

The DJI Spark weighs in at 0.6 pounds and is apparently the thinnest and the lightest drone that DJI has ever made. What’s surprising is the price tag, every DJI product until not cost nearly a $1000 and with the Spark, DJI has bought the starting price point for half of what it used to be. Now since it’s a cheaper, smaller and lighter drone, most of us might already judge the DJI Spark and presume that it has ditched some of the most important features, however, that doesn’t seem to be the case here....

There are a few ways to combat this problem: One way is to use a cold environment like an air-conditioned office room or an outside patio on a hot day. Another way is to use a laptop cooling pad or external cooling device. Why Do I need a cooling pad for my laptop? A cooling pad is a device that is designed to help laptops dissipate heat. Laptops generate heat due to the components inside them....

The One A9 comes with an edge to edge 5-inch FHD 2.5D corning Gorilla Glass 4 which blends into the metal bezels. As we have already talked a tad too much about the design and the fact that we are already familiar with the same, makes sense for us to move on and check out other features. On the imaging front, the One A9 boasts of a 13-Megapixel primary camera with Optical Image Stabilisation and Sapphire cover lens(!...

One cannot help but think of those words from the Bible as one sees some of the exchanges between “bloggers” and communications professional (PRs, corp comm, et al.). While there is no doubt that the “say something negative or complain and get a product/attention” culture seems to have gripped a fair number of the blogger community, what also cannot be doubted is that this has to an extent been fanned by the communication teams of different brands....
