A few years later, there came the Redmi Note 5 Pro, and sure enough, it was the best phone you could get for under Rs 15,000. Then came the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, and heck, it was the best phone that you could get for under Rs 20,000. You get the point. There is no beating about the bush: If you are in the market for a smartphone and have a budget of less than Rs 20,000, go ahead and buy the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max....

Also read: Why a VoLTE Feature Phone Makes Sense for Reliance Jio Despite its freemium policy, Jio has failed to tap on to the rural telecom market and that’s mainly due to the prevalence of feature phones in the country. Not everyone in India has the privilege of owning a smartphone, thereby resulting in a number of 2G users. To sort this issue out, Reliance seems to have taken the onus onto themselves to launch 4G enabled devices at an extremely low price point....

But do you know what Resistive RAM is, or simply RRAM or ReRAM? The official description goes like this: To put it in plain English, this is the next step when it comes to flash memory. Indeed, there is a number of different companies that are working on this technology but it seems that we have one that’s ahead of them all. Crossbar, a company placed probably in the best location for such start-ups, Santa Clara, California has officially gone “out of stealth mode” and announced a new kind of a memory chip that might prove to be revolutionary for the $60 billion dollar flash market....

The long rumored Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet has just been formerly introduced by Samsung, using a presentation video which reveals information related to the slate’s internal components, as well as some interesting features which will surely win some hearts. I am more than sure that most of you are wondering if Samsung’s creation will be of any good this year, against the tough competition, and most of all, is it worth buying one?...

It’ll fully support 2D and 3D graphics The Samsung Z looks quite different from the Galaxy series of Android smartphones, with a much sharpened edges and blocky design....

It would be super cool if brands could step into a time machine, grab these seven features from cameraphones of the past and paste them on the current crop of camera-toting smartphones: 1. Camera lens covers It might surprise some but there was a time when many phone cameras actually came with sliders that slid across the lens to cover it to prevent scratches. And in some cases, it even was linked to camera functionality – you slid open the lens cover to launch the camera, and slid it shut to close the camera....

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....

First, there was Nordic Blue The brand started it off with its first TWS, the OnePlus Buds, which had normal white and gray variants, but also came with a “Nord Blue” variant, and here, the brand went a little crazy with bright blue earbuds and a stem and a blue case with fluorescent green interiors. Yes, we had seen brands do the odd color experimentation, but this was frankly another level....

Guest post by Lior. As controversial as ad blocking is, there’s no doubt that it is popular. Adblock is the most popular Chrome extension as of this writing, with more than double the users of its nearest extension. Millions of surfers are at least installing ad blocking applications and, though many sites complain about the practice, it is clearly a trend that is here to stay. As a web publisher, this is not something we personally like to suggest, since many publishers and bloggers depend upon such ads for their livelihood....

I am talking of the Jabra Elite 85h. Yep, the ones that were launched in mid-2019 in India. Better than Bose, Sony and Sennheiser? Well… Before anyone asks, I will say it out loud – when it comes to blending work and entertainment, I rate them above the Sony WH-1000 series, the Bose QC series, and the Sennheiser Momentum series. For those shocked by that statement, let me concede a point – all those headphones deliver better sound on an average than the Elite 85h....

So if you are in the market for a pair of headphones, have a budget of about Rs 3,000 and totally hate wires, we would recommend trying out the following five options: 1. Redmi Earbuds S: The basic ones Rs 1799 You are on a tight budget and want to go totally wireless in the earphones department? Grab these. The Redmi EarBuds S follow the Redmi formula in affordable smartphones – do nothing spectacular (ignore the flashy promos) but do everything well....

We are not going to get into the tech specs of those two worthies or their design – both have been given enough space already. Suffice to say that both represent the pinnacle of phone technology for each of their brands. They are, in a word, flagships. They are also warriors trying to win back territory that each of their brands has seemingly ceded away. Cast your mind about a year back around this time, and it seemed to be the best of times for both Samsung and Xiaomi....

ACROSS 1 It can take a shock. It has e-ink. And it is great for iPhone coverage. Get it? (7,3) 4 It is really a matter of status because we hear this Facebook app is bringing it back. What’s up, then? (8) 5 One thing about MWC that our editor needs to REALLY change, so what if Freddie Mercury sang about it! (9) 7 The shoes with Intel Inside come from Me....

For the first time since the iPhone’s introduction over a decade ago, Apple’s profits faced a downturn in a holiday quarter. Slightly above the lowered estimations of $84 billion (earlier, it was $89-93 billion), the company reported revenue of $84.3 billion in first quarterly earnings call — a 5 percent decline from the same quarter a year ago. More importantly, revenue from the category where Apple makes most of its money — the iPhone fell by a staggering 15 percent....

And on the surface, this seems true. The iPhone 11 series starts at Rs 64,900 and goes to well over Rs 1,00,000. The newly released iPhone SE starts at Rs 42,500, which is actually in the range of the budget flagship OnePlus 7T, and might actually be lower priced than the OnePlus 8 (we do not know the Indian prices yet, at the time of writing). There are many who feel that the original iPhone SE started the trend of a slightly more affordable iPhone....

This Mini Mobile Robotic Printer is aimed at those on the go, who are either traveling often or have to work remotely. From the looks of it, this will be another successfully crowdfunded KickStarter project, as it already has more than one thousand backers who have pledged almost half of its $400,000 goal with 28 days to go. And there are plenty of reasons to love this device – it has a cute heart-shaped design and it moves on his own on any size page trailing ink....

It’s a well known fact that a smartphone which is not connected to the Internet is useless. No way to check your email, to connect with your friends or browse the Internet. All these make a top of the line smartphone as useful as an old school phone with no battery power. On the other side, data plans are quite expensive, and when you go over your monthly allowance, the costs start piling up....
