OnePlus has started rolling out a new software update for their handset — the One — that bumps the Android version to 4.4.4 and also brings some much needed bug-fixes and enhancements. Additionally, the update also brings a new ‘Clear Image’ functionality to the camera app. Under this mode, the camera takes a total of 10 images in quick succession and stitches them together for a final image, which has better clarity and details along with lower noise levels....

[dropcap]E[/dropcap]stablished freshly some couple of years ago by a pretty smartphone manufacturer, One Plus is fast becoming Black, the new colour. Late last year it had set up its first shop/ outlet in India, using a never-seen-before invite-based system. This serves a two-fold benefit to the company, first that it creates a ready market for itself, and secondly, it’s limitations (quantity of devices) are turned into its strength. All this is made possible thanks a genius pool of marketers....

Brute force vs. dictionary attack An attacker can try every possible password combination (brute force approach). The advantage is guaranteed success in finding the right password. The drawback is that it is a very time-consuming process. It’s probable that a typical user is frustrated about password best practices and uses a pattern for the password (for example a common word and a digit appended at the end). Then the attacker can build a set of common words concatenated with a digit (an exemplary pattern in the dictionary) and try every combination from this set....

In this tutorial we’ll talk about OpenVPN client connection settings, which come in handy when the connection to the OpenVPN server does not work. We’ll be using GopenVPN GUI client program that can be very useful to connect/disconnect to certain OpenVPN network right from the desktop without entering command line mode. The GopenVPN is also useful, because it presents us with the status of the openvpn connection, which is red if not connected, yellow if connection is being established and green when we’re successfully connected to the OpenVPN server....

Opera has ported its Opera Touch mobile browser from Android to iOS, and claims that it’s the perfect choice for iPhone X and iPhone XS/Max owners. The company says ‘zero-step search’ and a Fast Action button make the browser ideal for larger-screened phones without a Home button … Opera says that Touch, unlike Safari, is ready to search the web the moment you open the app. Safari, in contrast, leaves you wherever you last left off....

Oneadaptr is now Kickstarting its own take on the idea, with three different Flip models on offer. The Duo has two USB sockets, the Quad four and the Power is a Duo with a built-in powerbank. You can back the project from £11 for the Duo....

Change is in the air…front and back… And that is because, in terms of sheer change, the 7T is perhaps the most radical upgrade we gave seen in a OnePlus T edition. Unlike in the past, where change was largely limited to a better processor, the odd camera tweak and a change of location of the fingerprint sensor, OnePlus has thrown a fair bit at the OnePlus 7T. So much so that one could almost call it an overhaul of the OnePlus 7 rather than an upgrade....

Build and Design Samsung has been known for its premium build quality and design elements and the Galaxy S20+ is a prime example of it. The S20+ has a typical glass sandwich design with extremely slim bezels on all four sides. The back is glossy, and the cameras are housed in a square module on the left corner. The OnePlus 8 Pro also follows a similar design language with glass on either side, but with a frosted look compared to the glossy look on the S20+....

OnePlus To Launch Its First 5G Smartphone We all know very well that the smartphones with the 5G connection are very close enough, but, the fact is that everything will happen in a slower way than what has been announced. Just a few months ago the 5G standard was completed, hence, the different component manufacturers announced their respective modems. Even, the giant chip manufacturers like Intel, Qualcomm, and Samsung put their bets on the segment simply to include the standard in future smartphones....

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 respectful business and one morning, out of nowhere, a very critical post appears about you on the top of page 1....

Like many other people, I signed up for Apple Music yesterday because it was intriguing and free. Having skipped earlier subscription music services, I didn’t have Spotify playlists to worry about losing or importing, and I hadn’t experienced truly unlimited access to a giant music selection before. Apple Music’s sign-up process turned out to be great: attractive, simple, and just personal enough to learn my tastes without feeling creepy. It’s also likely to win long-term customers: sign up your family, and after 3 months, someone’s going to insist on keeping Apple Music (or just forget to cancel it)....

I wrote in an earlier opinion piece that 2014 is the year when I expect Apple to finally give in and opt for a larger iPhone display. Assuming I’m right, the question then becomes: what approach will Apple take? There are two ways of increasing the size of a display. First, you can keep the resolution the same and simply use larger pixels. That’s what happens when a manufacturer makes a 1080P HD TV in both 40- and 50-inch sizes, for example....

Here’s a look at how to turn the Tab Groups feature on so you can better organize all of your open tabs....
