Well, the G3 is the first flagship Android device from a major player to come with a quad HD display – while the One M8, the Xperia Z2 and the Galaxy S5 had stuck to the full HD displays of 1920 x 1080 resolution, the G3 goes a step further and sports a 2560 x 1440 resolution 5....

As a long time Microsoft beat journalist Paul Thurrott reports, the company will be announcing support for Android apps on Windows Phone platform sometime later this week — I would put my money on the company’s own developer Build 2015 conference which commences later today. If true, this will enable Windows Phone users to try out most of their favorite Android apps — not so sure about Google Mobile Services such as Gmail etc yet — on their Windows-powered smartphone....

Yes, we said “latest” because this alphanumeric arrangement is something that Samsung seems to really like. We have seen the Galaxy A52 earlier this year. This was followed by the Galaxy A52 5G in some markets, and now there is a new Galaxy A52 in town, with a fresh boost of power, the Galaxy A52s 5G. The smartphone is not all that different from its other namesakes in terms of design and might even be seen similar on many of the items in the spec department....

So it isn’t quite a surprise to see the large number of rumors that are doing rounds in the web over the past weeks. While it is already confirmed that the flagship Note 7 is launching on August 2 globally, no information regarding the India launch were known so far. Well, it seems that the India launch isn’t far away....

A friend of mine casually joked a few days back – “There isn’t a day without a new Galaxy device being launched by Samsung”. Well, that’s almost true. After announcing the Galaxy S4 Mini a couple of days back, the Korean giant has now unveiled an 8-inch and a 10.1-inch Android tablets under the Galaxy Tab 3 range. The company claims that the 8-inch version of Galaxy Tab 3 is designed for one-handed use(!...

Apart from employing a series of new stringent tests and precautions, the new Note7 features a relatively smaller 3200mAh battery. The company further mentioned that it will be selling 400,000 phones, all of which utilize components extracted from defective unused Note7 handsets. Samsung also says that it’s put the Galaxy Note Fan Edition’s battery through an 8-point safety check to prevent it from overheating and well, exploding, unlike the previous version....

It has exactly the same audio signature but has been designed for studio environments and has an additional cable in the box. In fact, the headphones are being referred to as Sennheiser’s first open-back studio headphones. Jet black and so comfortable By and large, studio headphones tend to stand out from the crowd because of their size and design....

The SD 765G 5G was succeeded by the 768G 5G which was essentially a slightly improved version with not a lot of changes. Then came the Snapdragon 780G 5G which was a slightly more premium chip in the 700 series that brought about notable changes like the 5nm manufacturing process and new Kryo 670 CPU cores. Since the SD 780G belonged to a slightly higher segment, Qualcomm also recently launched the Snapdragon 778G which sounds like the spiritual successor to the Snapdragon 768G....

They’re opposites, really. Clarity is as simple as a keyboard can be on the surface. There are no special options, prediction bar or gesture typing. Clarity’s dedication to simplicity is almost to a fault. You have very little control over the typing process. It’s very hard to go back and correct a spelling mistake. And these little things leave you frustrated. Fleksy ($1.99, free 30 days trial available) on the other hand is immensely opinionated when it comes to typing on Android....

The front houses a power button and flashing LED lights indicating the Status, LAN and Disk....

1. Writing for the general user Before Mossberg emerged on the horizon in the early nineties, writing on tech writing was the kingdom of the geeks, for the geeks and by the geeks. A general user would have struggled to make sense of most of the articles that appeared in tech publications those days, so laden were they with jargon and tech-ese. This was a result of a trend in the seventies when most of the writing on technology was done by engineers who could not be blamed for resorting to jargon because most tech readings were done by other engineers who had to make purchases for enterprises....

The OnePlus 2 was decent when it came to the specifications and pricing, but it had its own share of issues and some really serious ones at that (overheating to name the monster of them all) and this led to a rocky start for the buyers. So how is the OnePlus 3 compared to the OnePlus 2? Does it carry similar issues? We have used the OnePlus 3 for a couple of weeks now and as we go through the process of bringing you a detailed review, for the moment we try to answer some of the most common questions you folks may have, especially for the ones who might want to pick up the OnePlus 3 on day one and want to make an educated decision....

Before we jump in and discuss the different aspects of choosing a mechanical keyboard, here’s a quick primer on mechanical keyboards and the factors that separate them from traditional, standard keyboards....
