A possible reason for this has to do with the improvements in technology in recent years. This has, eventually, made it easier for smartphone manufacturers to implement fingerprint scanners on entry-level smartphones. From the very first optical-type fingerprint scanners to the capacitive to the newest of the lot, in-display fingerprint scanners, there is a lot that has changed and improved, with the basic idea behind the technology being the same....

Who’s got the looks? By some coincidence, we have the red variants of both devices. And very different shades of red they are. Both are gorgeous in their own ways, but while the OnePlus 7 has a simpler, more direct look with hardly any shade variations, the Redmi K20 Pro’s red is far more flashy, and yet classy. There is a solid block of red down the middle with a gradient finish that makes the lighter colored sections on either side of it flash different shades depending on the light conditions....

We loved the first generation Apple Pencil. The slightly heavy, round, glossy stylus, was pretty much THE stylus to use when it was first launched. Yes, it was not perfect. It had its flaws — the all-round design would make it roll down even from the plainest surfaces and do not even get us started on the whole charging system and the cap. Well, it might have taken the company some time, but it does seem that Apple has finally solved most of the issues that most users had with the older Apple Pencil, with the launch of the new one....

Does it succeed? We will reveal that in our review, but as of now, here are our initial impressions of the new Honor phone in six points: It is the spiritual successor of the 9 Lite The 9N is pretty much the successor of the 9 Lite. And it plays pretty much the same cards: very good design, a compact form factor (the phone is very comfortable to hold) and decent hardware (that Kirin 659 chip again) at a price that is relatively on the lower side when you consider the sheer premium appearance of the device....

A design that is a beautiful love child of Samsung and OP And this begins with its design. Imagine if Samsung and OnePlus’ top-end devices fell in love and had a child. Got over the shock? Well, said offspring would look very much like the Vivo X50 Pro. Yes, it looks that good. Vivo has made some rather good looking phones in the past as well (hey, we thought the Nex was beautiful) but the X50 Pro takes it to another level....

You have just launched a new app called Sticky AI, which turns selfies into chat stickers. It seems a bit of a change of track from Prisma, which converted photographs into works of art. Why this change? We experiment a lot! Sticky AI is a very simple app for creating stickers. We believe that AI can help people express themselves more precisely. Our goal is to help people turn their feeling and emotions into digital creations very easily and quickly....

All of Mi, serves all of you! The about minute and a half long ad is an amalgamation of a number of different short stories. It starts with a guy pulling out his Mi TV in his balcony early in the morning and playing loud firecracker sound on it. This startles an old neighbor who was enjoying his bed tea and wakes up the entire neighborhood. It then features a girl on her phone video calling her mother with Mi True wireless earphones and learning how to make laddus from her....

Always Use HTTPS – This is a great feature from security point of view in Gmail. HTTPS is secure protocol for transmission of vital information on web in encrypted form. Although, when we sign into our Gmail account, https is used but to make sure https is used throughout our session for our Gmail account, we need to enable this option from Gmail settings. To enable this option, go to settings of your Gmail account and check “Always use HTTPS” under general tab and save changes....

However, that said, one of the things that concern and bring along a worrying thought for some, is poor connectivity, be it over broadband or cellular internet connection. In such instances, what you require is to have apps and services provide offline access to their services wherever possible. While access to certain offline features is useful for many, if you happen to be someone who is always on the road, or you work at/visit places with poor cellular connectivity, it can prove to be pretty beneficial....

1. A Fresh Coat of Material Design Of course, the first thing you’ll notice as soon as you land on the new Gmail is the redesign. As the leaks suggested, it revamps all the core Gmail elements with a new, sleek look. However, the essentials are still there where they were before. All Google has done is added minor changes to make Gmail seem friendlier and well, less email-like. For instance, the icons have been tweaked, you can now check the attachments without opening the mail, and the left pane which accommodates folders now has circular backgrounds....

According to wikipedia– Unfortunately, not all encrypted apps are secure at same level. For example, WhatsApp enabled E2EE for their Android users first, while users on other platforms like iOS, Windows Phone etc are still waiting. Arthur Baxter, a Network Operation Analyst from ExpressVPN suggests the below 5 E2EE messenger apps, and explains what each of them brings to the table. 1. ChatSecure (OTR) – iOS, Android reliable, well-tested and secure open-source clients you can run your own jabber server doesn’t work well on mobile devices...

A full list of the brands it works on can be found here, where you can also see if a specific model is going to accept the package or not....

1. Infinix Hot S3 Infinix’s new Hot S3 presents a rather concerning threat to the Note 5 as it tries to establish its presence in the second-biggest smartphone market. The company has managed to cram a slew of tempting features into a relatively affordable package. The Hot S3, for starters, comes with an arguably better design and runs on Android Oreo out of the box. It also carries a 20-megapixel selfie camera which is markedly better than the Redmi Note 5’s 5-megapixel lens....

There are two demands that these incumbent operators have. The first includes reducing taxes on the industry and extending the timeframe within which telecom operators can pay for their spectrum purchase. We think this is a very reasonable demand as the telecom industry in India is one of the most highly taxed industries and extending the spectrum payment timeframe would result in the Government receiving the same payment from operators over a slightly longer timeframe but would help operators cut on debt to quite an extent....

“Apple innovates like no other company on earth, and we are not taking our foot off the gas.” It reminded me of the last time an Apple CEO had to send out a similar letter. It was almost seventeen years ago. The year was 2002 – there was no iPhone or iPad, no App Stores, and the iPod had been around for less than a year and worked only with a Mac....
