However, there are some limitations to it, like the usage insights are not too, well, insightful and you cannot view stats for time spent on system apps and the history stored is limited and not customizable. Worst of all, it’s currently only available on the Pixels and Android One devices officially running on Android Pie. Enter ActionDash, an app that not only tracks your usage patterns, but also provides a deeper insight about them along with customization options, and the good news, it’s available to all Android users....

The application release has been timed to perfection as Apple will be launching the final build of iOS 9 today. Surprisingly, Apple as a company had earlier strayed away from supporting ad blocking software and the fact is that users had to jailbreak their devices to install an ad blocker, but with iOS 9 the Cupertino folks themselves are incorporating a method for developers to embed ad bocking functionality in the iOS 9....

To start with, the Echo Show 10 comes with a few interesting changes compared to its predecessor. And the one that would excite people the most is the new non-stationary motorized base, which swivels when you interact with it.

You can repeat the process for different category of products or even for different models of a specific brand. I was amazed to see the amount of options I got for DSLR cameras, camcorders and many other categories. There are some catches though: Minimum of $125 worth of order should be placed in order to be eligible for Free shipping. Though shipping is free, customs and import duties are still applicable....

Did iPhone’s battery life improve? Let’s return to the launch of the first iPhone. Back then, it had a built-in rechargeable Li-ion batteryof 3.7 V and 1400 mAh. You’ve already seen in the above video that the original iPhone was said to have “up to” 5 hours of talk time/video/browsing or “up to” 16 hours of audio playback.

Android 12 Beta Privacy Features To be fair, this is not the first time Google is pledging to offer a more private and secure experience on Android to its users. Last year too, the company introduced new privacy settings as part of Android 11, which brought along features like one-time permissions, scoped storage enforcement, permissions auto-reset, and background/foreground location access to safeguard user data and prevent apps and services from misusing permissions and users’ personal information....

Angry Birds 2 is the first free major game in the series and it’s out for iOS and Android And just like any other free game in 2015, it’s laden with in-app purchases and ads. To me, though, the striking difference is just how heavy the game is. Angry Birds was a casual game with really simple and cartoonish graphics. Even on my old iPod Touch 3rd gen, I could start playing in a couple of seconds....

One thing you wished that wouldn’t change was the ability to transport yourself from the buzz around to your own sweet musical world, even in the middle of the busiest train station or circus show.

Since the Apple tv is meant to be viewed by multiple members of the family, the suggested playlist and recommended content was all appearing in a single place as a list, which was inconvenient for viewers who received suggestions for the content they didn’t want to watch. This issue has now been addressed and tvOS will now allow users to create multiple accounts on their Apple tv which can be logged into by the specific users and multiple accounts can be switched to or from the control centre, which looks similar to that on the iPhone or iPad....

Looking out for your heart…and catching your fall The Apple Watch, from the very beginning, has had in-built fitness and health features. It measures the number of calories you burn; it monitors your heartbeat, it tells you when you have been sitting for too long; it tells you how much exercise you have done in a day; it can even tell you if you have been drinking enough water. “Health and fitness is at the core of Apple Watch,” said Jeff Williams, COO, Apple, while presenting the fourth generation Watch....

The Asus Zenfone Live (ZB501KL) comes with some modest internals and a metal unibody design, that looks classy but not eye-popping. To the front, the Asus Zenfone Live boasts a 5 inch HD (1,280 x 720) IPS display that comes with a Bluelight Filter feature. This would apparently help reduce strain on your eyeballs while using the Zenfone in low lit conditions. That aside, the Asus Zenfone Live comes powered by a quad-core processor sourced from Qualcomm....

With the Asus ZenBook 3 and the Transformer 3 Pro, Asus has taken a huge leap by shifting from their comfort zone and pitting their products in the same price category as the MacBook Pro from the Cupertino giant.

The Taiwanese maker has covered up for the sky-high price tag of their ultrabook by providing some capable internals....

The Audio Technica ATH M50xBT is a wireless Bluetooth-version of the popular ATH M50x that have been around for a few years now. And in fact, have been a very much preferred choice for the people who want a wired headphone under Rs 10000. The headphones are an over-the-ear type of headphones and unfortunately, do not come with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), unlike most other over-the-ear headphones these days. Because of which, people have to rely on the passive noise cancellation, which could only manage to muffle down the sound to a certain extent....

The issue? One of those rare brands that did NOT use celebrities and indeed, did not believe in major advertising was Xiaomi. Fast backward to 2014 when the brand made its first appearance on Indian shores, and Hugo Barra (then Xiaomi’s global Vice President) had declared that the company was able to keep prices on its phones super low, because it did not incur “overheads and expenses” like conventional advertising, offline retail marketing and so on....
