No, there are a couple of logical links which has led to this profound trend. The factor which has had the most critical impact on this shift is China’s smartphone market itself. You see, the majority of these new phones are from Chinese OEMs, and that’s no coincidence. Even Razer, which while is based out of the United States, has a significant share in regions like Hong Kong as far as gaming equipment is concerned....
Fortunately, there are a few developers who are aiming for something else, and one of such is Evie Labs. Their app is called Evie Launcher, and it has been buzzing around the community for a couple of months now. The primary cornerstone here is the presence of one of iOS’ most appreciated feature – a universal search functionality that can be accessed directly by swiping down. I’ve been using Evie as my launcher for quite awhile now, and I must say, I don’t think I can live without that search bar anymore....
Xiaomi Redmi 8: Design and Display In terms of design, the Redmi 8 features an Aurora Mirror design, which reflects light falling off it at different angles. It comes in three color options: Sapphire Blue, Ruby Red, and Onyx Black. Towards the front, it has a 6.22-inch HD+ display with a 19:9 aspect ratio, 1520×720 pixels screen resolution, and a dot notch housing the front camera. Further, to offer protection, the phone comes with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top, along with the P2i splash-proof coating....
A major reason for this growth, as per the report, was the online market, which registered a 19.6 percent year on year growth, with online sales accounting for 40.2 percent of the market in the first quarter of the year. Offline sales had relatively flat growth, evidently because the festive third and fourth quarters of 2018 resulted in large inventories. That said, Samsung’s A series and inroads by Xiaomi and Realme in the offline space did make a positive impact....
The new Xolo Black has thickness of 7.3mm, which is still pretty elegant, even if there are new smartphones as slim as 5.5mm out there. The phone comes with a 5.5-inch full HD IPS OGS display protected by Gorilla Glass 3 with a 401 PPI density. A neat feature is the light in the power button which “breathes” when you get notifications. Here’s a breakdown of the most important specs of the device:...
Them familiar looks, but smart enough Remember the old Bluetooth single ear earpieces, that all the protagonists wore in their ears in hi-tech movies? Well, the Zakk Twins remind us of those old dears (which is not exactly a bad thing). The black colored earbuds have a rectangular textured back. There is a red button placed in the middle of the back, and just below the red button,with the company has placed its logo....
The display of the device shapes up in the form of a 5-inch FHD frameless screen which according to the company can exhibit better display characteristics. We would like to point out that the frameless display is all about the thinned out bezels and should not be confused with the Edge to Edge display. The Speed 7 runs on a blend of Android 5.1 along with the company’s Z-UI. On the imaging front, the device comes with a 13....
The story of how the Canadian entrepreneur was influenced by the action movie franchise dates back to 2007 when he sold his first company, StumbleUpon to eBay. Camp used to occasionally watch the DVD of Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale. However, one specific detail struck a chord with Camp’s entrepreneurial instincts. In the movie, Bond navigates to the whereabouts of his nemesis, Le Chiffre through a Sony Ericsson phone. Surely the phone would seem highly outdated by today’s standards but it helped Bond by updating the location of his Ford Mondeo’s pointy icon in real-time and guided him towards the destination....
Poco X2 vs Realme X2 Design – Poco’s got the looks In terms of sheer design, we have to hand it to the Poco X2. Yes, both phones have a glass front and back with gradient finishes, but there the similarity ends. We had stated that one of the weak points of the Realme X2 was its slightly predictable design and that is what makes it finish second to the Poco....
Smart looks! Mind you, it packs enough of a punch to be considered a formidable proposition in its own right. The design is classic Realme 6 – the front is all 6.5-inch display with a punch-hole notch, wit Gorilla Glass, and the plastic back (it does not look bad at all!) has a gradient finish with a quad-camera capsule-like unit on the back with the camera on the top being highlighted with a yellow circle (no, no dramatic logos on this one)....
Odd that looks oddly good In a world full of smartphones with glossy glass backs, frosted glass backs, glass backs that look like polycarbonate backs, polycarbonate backs that try hard to look like glass backs (succeeding sometimes, failing at others), Samsung has launched a device that is unabashedly and unapologetically polycarbonate. We received the Awesome Blue color variant of the phone which is sky blue to put it simply. The matte polycarbonate is unlikely to invoke premium feels but that does not mean the phone looks bad....
Motorola has always been on the forefront when it comes to customization, it, in fact, started offering Moto Maker options starting from the first generation Moto X. The Motorola Shells add a completely new look to the smartphone without compromising much on the bulk. However, most of the Moto Style shells have mostly been instruments of cosmetic enhancement and do not offer any new features. Alsit’sits worth noting that the maker of this Mod has been a participant in Motorola’s “Transform the Smartphone Challenge....
Without any further ado here are ten amazing facts from the Windows history vault. Windows? Nah, Gates wanted to call it “Interface Manager” Imagine if the most used computer interface in the world was called something as boring as Interface Manager? Well, it almost was. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates actually wanted it to be called Interface Manager. Fortunately, Microsoft usually uses one-word names for its products and because the UI had multiple windows that allowed the users to run various tasks at once, the name ‘Windows’ came up....
Here we have compiled a list that will help you not only in reducing the time you take to make a presentation, but you will also find some handy tips on how to give the presentation in a more efficient way. Edit photos Microsoft PowerPoint provides the option to edit images from within the app itself.

In this post, we’ll focus on how to use Google Sheet calendar templates and the best Google Sheets calendar template that you can use to create a calendar. Why do I need a Google Sheets calendar template? We all know that using a calendar is the most effective way to keep track of and manage one’s time, but neither physical calendars nor the majority of online calendar apps offer their users many options to customize the calendar to their preferences....

Instead, you will be able to enjoy a good selection of creative apps, and by using some of them, you will even be able to make some money. Also, it’s very interesting to see many paid Android apps at once in our weekly roundup....
But that’s about to change as Spotify gears up to extend its services to India. During the company’s investor day presentation, Daniel Ek, CEO, recently revealed that they are planning to bring Spotify into some of the biggest countries, including India. However, Spotify’s first step into the teeming OTT battleground of India won’t be as straightforward as others. As an independent upstart focused solely on music streaming, Spotify lacks a range of perks its fellow competitors benefit from....
The season 5 of this popular reality TV show will premiere this May 18th (monday) on ABC (9pm-11pm ET) and will have Jillian Harris, who was booted unceremoniously after nearly making out with Bachelor/professional moron Jason Mesnick in a hot tub last season. She will now have 30 men who will be emasculating themselves on television in her honor. Tensions mount and sparks fly as the bachelors vie for the first impression rose....
Make Your Monitor a Touchscreen They might be expensive right now, but let’s face it, everybody wants them, and maybe, just maybe, there might be a way to convert your average home screen to a fancy touchscreen. The initial feedback isn’t exactly good as most desktop monitors aren’t capable of such a drastic shift. The reason? There’s not enough space behind the front bezel and the LCD chassis for the touchscreen sensor and the touch screen controller to fit in....
It is, indeed, one of the toughest things to do, and it can sometimes become a problem even in your own country. You can always come across a few uncommon names that you’re not used to.
