Qualcomm X70 5G Modem with AI – How is it different? We have seen AI implementation on mobile processors for a while, but with the Qualcomm X70 5G, we are witnessing an AI processor dedicated to network management for the very first time. The X70 5G modem uses this section of the modem to mmWave Beam management using AI algorithms developed by Qualcomm. This results in better signal coverage and strength indoors....

Most of these desktop image editors and online image editors fail miserably when it comes to PNG image resizing, especially when retaining Transparency. They always remove the transparent background and replace it with a colored one. Latest version of Irfan View does show an option to resize PNG images AND retain transparency, but I never figured out how to use it successfully. Using Adobe Photoshop solves the issue, since it has an inbuilt plugin to resize PNG image cleanly....

Plastic CAN look fantastic! Some people think that a phone with a plastic back cannot look premium. They clearly have not used the realme X. For, there is no denying that the X looks premium from the word go. The phone is available in two shades – Polar White and Space Blue (there are also the famous Garlic and Onion special editions, which will be released later). We got the Polar White edition and it looked downright gorgeous....

And for the most part, the cameras so far have lived up to the Realme tradition. We have been snapping pictures with them for a few days and the results have by and large been impressive. Mind you, we really think that one is better off taking pictures of places rather than people with them, as textures get captured beautifully. Human subjects, on the other hand, seem to suffer from a bit of smoothening, courtesy the software and AI, we suspect....

Realme X50 Pro: Scoring on specs It does come with perhaps the most elegant and understated design that we have seen on a Realme device (the frosted glass back finish is so reminiscent of the OnePlus 7T series and the double punch hole in the front is classy), but it is really the hardware that makes the phone a star. The star of the show, of course, is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, which is THE flagship processor in the mobile world at the time of talking, and comes with plenty of RAM and storage to spare – there are 6 GB/ 128 GB, 8 GB/ 128 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB options....

Shipments go up by a record margin The first quarter of the year saw 340 million smartphones being shipped all over the world. That is a year-on-year growth of 24 percent (275 million smartphones were shipped globally in Q1 2020). That is the highest growth recorded since 2015. According to the report “The smartphone market rebound was driven by the healthy demand of consumers with aging devices and a phenomenal 5G push from Chinese vendors....

The image shared along with the tweet shows a U-shaped notch on the top of the smartphone that houses the 32MP front-facing sensor for selfies. Taking into consideration the previous generation Redmi Y2 that also focussed on better image quality and provided a 16MP sensor, we can expect its successor, the Redmi Y3 to showcase some good quality images out of its 32MP sensor on the front. Y wait? The #32MPSuperSelfie is coming your way soon....

To give you some context, in September last year, TRAI extended the deadline for implementation of the Bill & Keep (B&K) pricing regime, which left Jio no other option but to start charging its customers for off-net voice calls to offset the losses incurred due to IUC. However, while the company announced that it will start charging customers for off-net calls, it also announced that these calling charges are only going to be applicable for the time being — until TRAI abolishes Interconnect Usage Charge (IUC)....

Samsung has apparently applied for a patent for the next generation scrollable TV in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The company essentially aims to take the scrollable display technology which they built for their future smartphones onto a TV. That’s a tough task indeed. LG Display apparently was the first to the race as they showcased an 18-inch rollable OLED display during the CES earlier this year. While a TV with an 18-inch panel may be puny by today’s standards, making a scrollable display that large is one challenging task....

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Design and Display Going by the name, one would assume that the S10 Lite follows the same design language as the S10. However, that’s not the case with the S10 Lite, as it rather takes a much different design approach and comes with a glossy plastic panel at the back with a rectangular camera module for the rear cameras. Towards the front, it includes minimal bezels all around and features a 6....

This comes after numerous reports of Apple working on its own Smart Watch (iWatch), with almost 100 designers in the team. The recent success of Kickstarter projects like Pebble, which raised over 10 million last year, has spruced up the demand for Smart Watches. The rumors of Samsung smart watch started back in February this year, when mockups of a gadget codenamed Galaxy Altius surfaced on a Korean website. It shows a squarish interface with live tiles showing you different apps and functions....

However, it’s been a little over a month since its inception, and Qualcomm already has a major announcement. It’s a special-edition smartphone, aptly called Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders, designed and manufactured by Asus. Let’s dive in to take a closer look at the device. Design and Display Starting with the appearance, the device features a design that’s reminiscent of the typical Asus-smartphone design. It comes with a rectangular camera module on the rear, arranged in a horizontal alignment, and a fingerprint scanner right below it for authentication....

There has been an attempt by tech companies to gain some revenue share from connectivity (telecom) companies while at the same time there’s an attempt by telecom companies to gain some revenue share from tech companies. Google might be a tech company at its core, but Project Fi, Google Fiber, Project Loon etc are definitely the attempts to eat into the revenue share of connectivity providers. Similarly, Verizon is primarily a telecom/broadband provider, but Go90, AOL, Yahoo and Awesomeness TV are attempts by it to branch out of its core business....

Which of course, will lead to the question: then why on earth would someone splurge Rs 15,990 (or USD 159) on a pair of wireless headphones? The answer in two words is, Wireless Magic! For, let me make this absolutely clear: the AirPods are really all about showcasing what can be done with a wireless headphone rather than delivering stunning sound. Let me repeat: the sound quality on the AirPods is not bad at all – it is well above average in fact – but it is not the stuff of which audiophile dreams are made....

Also, the Eve V is crowdsourced and will be live on Indiegogo by the end of this month. The company has already revealed the complete specifications of the Eve V and it is impressive indeed. Buyers can choose between Intel 7th Gen Core M3/i5/i7 along with a RAM of 8GB or 16GB. On the storage front, the Eve V offers SSD starting from 128GB to 512GB. Display shapes up un the form of a 12....

CDMA in India CDMA as a technology had managed to find a use case in India by acting as substitute for wired landline connections. Wireless Local Loop (or WLL) was widely used by BSNL and Tata to provide landlines that could be used anywhere. Remember Tata Indicom’s Walky? BSNL being a landline operator had lower interconnect charges and WLL operators tried to leverage the same but had failed. After their inability to have the same interconnect charges as that of BSNL, WLL operators tried to convince TRAI that since CDMA required lesser spectrum than GSM, they should be allowed to provide full fledged CDMA services on the spectrum they got for WLL....

The interaction was a brief one, spanning about ten minutes. And as I had been warned, Vineet Taneja came across as a very reserved if utterly efficient person. Immaculately turned out in a blazer and a tie, he had sales figures and device features at his fingertips, and very little penchant for small talk. Any pause in the conversation would be punctuated by a stare that seemed to indicate that he had really expected the interviewer to prepare better....
