So let’s take a look at the few things which differentiates the OnePlus 3T from OnePlus 3. Design OnePlus has gone out with the exact same design on the OnePlus 3T as on the OnePlus 3, so much so that the dimensions and weight are same as well. And I don’t blame them at all. The OnePlus 3 was a beautifully designed smartphone, despite carrying HTC’s design ethics, and now the OnePlus 3T carries forward the same with just some changes to the color options....

We all know how important it is nowadays to have a clean online record, almost as important as having no previous criminal offences. That is why often page 1 of well-used, popular search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo is considered sometimes your digital business card or personal record; people can search you anytime and make certain conclusions based on the information they find there. So imagine that you are an owner of a respectful business and one morning, out of nowhere, a very critical post appears about you on the top of page 1....

Live in Japan? Well, you now have access to two special edition handsets released specifically for your market — the pink Galaxy S5 and the Sony Xperia A2. Japan is among the last markets where Samsung will be launching the Galaxy S5 later this week and looking at how obsessed the country is with Hello Kitty and pink color, the company decided to release not one, but two special pink variants of their flagship phone....

Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge owners have been missing out on the “OK Google” functionality right from the launch. While the feature was available on the handset when it launched, it disappeared soon after without any explanation from Google and Samsung. Since then, both companies have been mum about the missing functionality without any word on whether it will ever return or not. Thankfully for Galaxy S6 and S6 edge owners, a community manager at Google’s product forums has confirmed that the issue has now been sorted and the feature will be restored to the handset over the next few days....

In this tutorial, we will show you how to download and install the official LineageOS 18.1 onto your Redmi Note 5 Pro device. The Google-owned OS is open source in nature.

Last year with the Nexus 5, Google introduced the Google Now launcher with an “Ok, Google” voice recognition functionality on the homescreen. This feature could not be imitated by third party launchers because it is seemingly closed source. Now, one of the developers of OmniROM — Guillaume Lesinak — has managed to bring a similar feature to their ROM with their own set of tweaks and enhancements. Unlike the Nexus 5, the hotword to initiate a voice command is fully customisable here....

OnePlus today unveiled the OnePlus 5T, the successor to their six-month old flagship — the OnePlus 5. An iterative upgrade over the 5, the OnePlus 5T features largely the same specifications as its predecessor with some modest improvements in key areas. The highlight of the OnePlus 5T is its 6-inch FHD+ 18:9 AMOLED display at the front. Jumping on the bezel-less trend, the OnePlus 5T’s 18:9 aspect ratio display at the front is surrounded by minimal top and bottom bezels which is why despite the increase in display size, the phone has largely the same specifications as the OnePlus 5....

The launch of three dozen OneWeb internet satellites from Russia-operated Baikonur Cosmodrome launch pad came to a halt earlier this month after the Russian space agency demanded for the company to guarantee it would not use its satellites for military purposes. Roscosmos also said it refused to launch the satellites until the UK government sold its share in OneWeb. UK government purchased OneWeb as part of a $500 million bailout deal in 2020....

But does Apple need to compete in this space, when it arguably already has its own version of Echo or Home? The one that’s either on your wrist or in your pocket … Each approach has pros and cons, of course. A speaker provides more convenient access. If you want to switch on your lights or ask a question or play some music, you have only to speak and the always-listening speaker will respond....

The App Store has been around since iOS 2.0 (back when iOS was still called iPhone OS), and has undergone a variety of changes since it was launched.

OnePlus is one of the only few Android OEMs to provide three years of major software updates for its smartphones. The company recently released the Android 10 update for the OnePlus 5 and 5T. Along with Android 10, users also get to experience the refreshed OxygenOS 10 from OnePlus. Although, along with some exciting features, this new update has brought a few bugs along.

OnePlus today announced the OnePlus 7T Pro, the successor to the OnePlus 7 Pro from earlier this year. The company had announced the OnePlus 7T in India late last month. While the OnePlus 7T was a major upgrade over the OnePlus 7, the same is not true for the OnePlus 7T Pro. Its a relatively minor update that does not bring anything new to the table. The OnePlus 7T Pro packs largely the same specs as the OnePlus 7 Pro — a 6....

A video walkthrough gives us a peek at the extra toppings sprinkled atop this version of Android llipop, Oneus’ custom ROM for its flagship phone. Visually, this is no drastic reimagining of the stock Android experience. Oneus sticks with Material Design the same default app layout you would see on a device like the Nexus 6. You can grab the update from Oneus right now. OxygenOS includes a feature called “off-screen gestures,” which allows you to double tap to wake the device or launch the camera by drawing a circle....

I wrote a piece last month arguing that it was time for Apple to up its iCloud game, showing that the company is serious about cloud storage by focusing more on fast, reliable syncing, and by matching the functionality, storage capacities, and pricing of Google Drive. In the WWDC keynote, Apple did exactly that. MobileMe may not, in Steve Jobs’ words, have been Apple’s finest hour, but it did at least include iDisk – an online drive we could access directly to store anything we liked – not just documents created in Apple’s own apps....

If you want a true pro-grade monitor, and have deep pockets, there’s an Apple Display to make you happy. That Apple Pro Display XDR is a thing of beauty. 32 inches. 6K resolution. P3 color gamut. True 10-bit. 1600 nits peak brightness. A million to one contrast ratio. Anti-reflective coating, with the option of a matte one. Individually calibrated and modulated LEDs. True reference grade. It’s a beast. It’s also $5-7K, which is more than most of us want to pay for a Mac, let alone a monitor …...

Not wanting to be left behind Vivo, which announced two new phones earlier today, Oppo has launched a new Android device of its own.
