Forget the Galaxy S23 FE rumours for a moment as Samsung is said to re-launch the Galaxy S21 FE in India in July with upgraded specs. Well, the key upgrade could be the Snapdragon 888 SoC. Here’s why we think this could be a bit disconcerting for some. Snapdragon 888 SoC at ₹40,000 in 2023? A tipster named Tarun Vats tweeted that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is likely to come in July at about ₹40,000. He, however, claims the handset will be shipping with Snapdragon 888 chipset. This is a chip that debuted in late 2020. So, it’s around a year and a half old at this point. Also Read: Samsung Galaxy M34 features revealed: Monster display, camera, and battery explained  Not just that. Some other Snapdragon 888 phones like the Realme GT 2 (8+128GB at ₹23,999) are available in the market at a way lesser price. We even think an upcoming phone like the OnePlus Nord 3 which has the latest and much more powerful Dimensity 9000 SoC could undercut this phone with price to performance ratio. ...

The OnePlus V Fold’s specs and design have leaked. So, we now have a good picture of what the OnePlus foldable will look like and most of what it will be bringing to the table. But could it pose a threat to Samsung’s dominance in the foldable market, with the launch of the new Galaxy foldable looming near? That’s the question. Although we still don’t know a lot about these two folding phones, be it about their features, specifications, or price, here’s what we think based on the details we have. OnePlus V Fold: What it needs to take on the Samsung Z Fold 5? 1. Starting with the design, the OnePlus V Fold renders by OnLeaks (via Smartprix) suggest a Vegan Leather back, which should be a different offering from the rest of the glass slabs. It should also offer better durability compared to glass. Even Gorilla Glass can have a trade-off between scratch and drop protection. Additionally, if the device is lighter because of the new Vegan Leather material and other reasons, that ...

Samsung has announced the Galaxy M34 will be launching in India on July 7. It has also started teasing the key Galaxy M34 features through a microsite on Amazon. Sticking to the signature M-series branding, Samsung has boasted the phone will be sporting a Monster display, Monster cameras, and a Monster battery. Here, we break down each of these specs in layperson terms. Samsung Galaxy M34’s monstrous specs explained 1. Samsung Galaxy M34’s monster display Samsung has outfitted the Galaxy M34’s front with a 6.4-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display. The super part denotes the fact that the display has a touch-sensing digitiser integrated into the panel itself. AMOLED should offer better contrasts and colour representation.  There is also something called Vision Booster technology here, which we first saw on the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. It amps up the contrast of the display when the ambient light is too bright. This makes the screen content appear more legible. Also Read: 5 incredib...

OnePlus is launching the Nord 3 on July 5 at 7 PM (IST). This so-called OnePlus Nord Summer Launch Event is being teased via an Amazon microsite.

This is presumably the base variant. The Nord 2, which it succeeds is currently available at ₹29,999 for an 8+128GB model. So, that’s a ₹3,000 difference between the price of the two OnePlus phones. So, the next obvious question is whether the Nord 3 warrants the ₹3000 price hike over its predecessor. Let’s find out.

I remember the first email account I had created back in 1997 or 1998. Hotmail was the hottest service, albeit with a rather quirky name, and everyone who had the privilege of accessing the Internet wanted to have a mail account for themselves. My brother had an account and I wanted one too, even though there was barely anyone I knew whom I could send emails to. When the time came to create the password, I was told to make it as hard as possible to guess. Being a smart cookie, I cooked up an alphanumeric pattern-based password which was easy to remember and was nine characters long. That password served me well for a decade, until I started refreshing passwords on a cyclic basis. Computers were getting more powerful and breaking passwords was getting easier. And users had to think of unique passwords for each service and refresh them regularly. For the internet-savvy, it is a task unto itself. Last year, we saw a lot of news around passkeys and how tech companies around the world wer...

Apple doesn’t want you to have a sideloading option on your iPhones as that will be a crack in its walled garden. App Store is its biggest revenue driver and an alternate store or avenue to download 3rd party apps will leave a dent, however small that is. Apple wouldn’t want this to ever happen. But, it will have to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act coming in 2024 that demands Apple to open up iPhone to sideloading.  Although Apple was expected to bring sideloading on iOS 17 owing to this pressure from the EU, the company skipped it without even a mention.

Noise has launched the NoiseFit Crew Pro smartwatch in India. It is priced currently at ₹2,199 which is a hotly contested segment. So, what does this watch offer besides the obvious round dial, metallic finish, and leather strap?  NoiseFit Crew Pro: Specs and features 1. Noise has equipped the watch with a 1.4-inch round display with 240x240 resolution and 550-nits of brightness. In this price range, we have smartwatches with 1.7-inch (Fire Boltt Ring), 1.83-inch (Fire Boltt Jaguar) and even 1.91-inch (BoAt Xtend Call Plus) screens. But, 1.4-inches would be a good place to start. As for brightness, it is outsmarted by the Maxima Nitro with 600 nits of brightness. But, even 550 nits should be legible enough for most environments and is far more than 220 nits on the Fire Boltt Ring. In the renders, the bezels don’t appear that thick either. You also have 100+ watch faces to customize the screen appearance. 2. The screen is engulfed by a polycarbonate case/bezel with a metallic f...

YouTube 1080P Premium Enhanced Bitrate quality setting which was previously exclusive to paying subscribers is now available for free accounts also. It was spotted on select content and seems to have been rolled out to select users only. We first noticed the feature on a football match on Sony Liv’s YouTube channel. Among the quality settings, we saw the 1080P Premium HD option. The same wasn’t available on several other devices/several other user accounts. YouTube 1080P Premium on the web (Video: Croatia 0 - 0 Spain | Final | Highlights | UEFA Nations League | 19th June 2023). This makes us believe that perhaps YouTube is gradually rolling it to all users. If this is in fact a phased release, all of us are likely to get it eventually. Or maybe this is a controlled testing of some kind.  In any case, here’s what this feature offers: YouTube 1080P Premium: What’s the benefit? hey there! some vids are only eligible for an enhanced bitrate if they were only uploaded in 1080p! ...

It states the various ways the game tries to hurt Indian sentiments and also exerts its soft influence on the young Indians playing it. The Undawn's ban outcry stirred up our memories about 5 other games that were either banned or subject to the ire of Indians. We will see the reasons for their controversy.  5 games that angered Indians 1. BGMI/PUBG It’s fresh in our memory the many times BGMI and PUBG got banned in India.

An Indian NGO named Prahar has urged the Indian government to ban the Chinese giant Tencent’s open-world survival RPG called Undawn.
