A regular design, no “+” to it Unlike truly wireless earphones that come in different shapes, sizes and designs, there is only so much you can do in terms of design when it comes to their slightly wired counterparts. There has to be a long wire with some module(s) in the middle with earbuds at each end. And that is the basic template of most wireless earphones. It is also exactly what the Skullcandy Jib+ looks like – a long wire that goes around the neck, with two pill-shaped modules and earbuds on the two ends of the wire....

This trend was first observed when the Snapdragon 650 was unveiled and the performance it provided on a mid-range smartphone like the Redmi Note 3 surprised a lot of people. Then onwards, Qualcomm has added more such chipsets to its portfolio which can be used on smartphones that do not cost a lot of money but still provide solid performance, the Snapdragon 660 being a prime example. While the 660 was not used by a lot of OEMs initially, it has recently gained a lot of popularity with the likes of Asus, Realme, and Xiaomi using it on their devices priced less than Rs 15,000....

Fortunately, I’ve discovered a solution that manages to find the perfect middle ground. It’s called “Snooze Tabby”, a free extension for Chrome, Firefox and as the name clearly suggests, it lets you snooze browser tabs. Therefore, whenever you come across a link you don’t have the time to read or watch, Snooze Tabby simply allows you to configure a time period for when you’d like to revisit it. Once the clock hits the defined hour, Snooze Tabby will automatically reopen the tab for you....

A new project on KickStarter wants to solve this problem by using a Donut – well, a Donut shaped power strip that can charge a bunch of travel adapters simultaneously. Mogics Donut can accommodate five US AC socket and two fast charging USB ports whereas the Mogics Bagel boasts of 4 Universal AC sockets plus one US AC socket and 2 fast charging USB ports. The best part is the size of the Donut and the Bagel, both are small enough to be dropped in the packet and utility wise they are better than the bulky old power strip which would gobble up a large space in your travel bag....

To make its new Apple Music service a reality, the Cupertino-based company has resorted to some well-connected individuals in the industry, such as Jimmy Iovine, Dr.Dre, and others. And to prove that it really means business with Apple Music and it wants it to be a universal service even for cross-platform users, the company announced that it will be bringing it to Android users this fall. Naturally, when Apple announced its new service yesterday, or most likely well before, music streaming services like Spotify, Rdio, Pandora, and others were already of ways to prevent its current users from switching to Apple Music....

The report is available online, but here are some of the striking points in it: (the data is based on global cumulative sales in the Q3’18 – Q2’19 period) Nokia is the boss of software updates It might still be on the road back to sales supremacy, but when it comes to software updates, Nokia is in a zone of its own. A staggering 96 percent of its phones run on Android Pie, with only 4 percent on the previous version, Android 8....

Well, depending on the device you are using and the operating system it runs, there is a range of data recovery tools available out there. However, not every single data recovery software manages to live up to its claims. And thus, the need for a reliable option: one that is easy to use, helps with all offers various data recovery options, and that is not overly expensive. One of the prominent names in the data recovery space is Tenorshare, which is known for its various data recovery/management solutions for both smartphones and computers....

Of course, Apple has attempted to rectify this to an extent with its ‘double-tap home button to bring the upper part of the display closer to you’ short cut, but that does not really help typing. For me and many others, the only way of being able to type one-handed on the 6s Plus is to use dictation, which is rather effective, but a trifle loud. Fortunately, Microsoft (yes, we get the irony) has come to our aid with its Word Flow keyboard....

Apart from that, though, the Meizu Zero, which is made out of ceramic, is an oddly straightforward phone. It has a 5.99-inch OLED screen which also houses the fingerprint sensor and has surprisingly thick bezels at the top and bottom. In addition, it’s powered by Qualcomm’s slightly dated Snapdragon 845, LPDDR4X memory (exact RAM yet to be revealed), and a two-year-old Android Oreo-based software. The Meizu Zero has two cameras on the rear — a primary 12-megapixel Sony IMX380 sensor and a secondary 20-megapixel Sony IMX350 sensor....

On that day, the audience had felt a little let down by the premium pricing of the OnePlus 7 Pro but had burst into spontaneous applause at the surprisingly affordable price tag of the OnePlus 7. Well, when Xiaomi India’s head Manu Jain announced the prices of the two Redmi K20 phones yesterday, the crowd was ecstatic over the pricing of the Redmi K20 Pro. But seemed a little surprised by the pricing of the lower-priced Redmi K20....

The core rationale behind the myths and complications revolving around it is the name which translates to “just a browser” for the majority. Principally, that’s true, although Chrome OS, as I mentioned, has received a slew of critical updates recently, making it a substantial competitor in the market. However, under the surface, there are many features users don’t even discover during their usage; hence here’s a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about Chrome OS....

If you’re using a Windows PC, you can simply use the Print Screen key on your keyboard to take a screenshot. However, if you’re on a Mac, you don’t get a dedicated screenshot button to take screenshots directly. Instead, Apple requires you to press a combination of different keys on your keyboard to take a screenshot in macOS. We’ll go over all the macOS screenshot shortcuts in this guide and also check out the other ways to take a screenshot on a Mac....

What are Indie Games? For those who don’t know what Indie games are, let me clear it up: Indie Games, or Independent Games are video games developed by individuals or small developer firms that do not have a well known publisher. These games are often overlooked by many, but truth be told, some are quite nice. They have moderate graphics, but that is not the purpose of the developers. They don’t want you to buy the latest video card in order to play their games, but concentrate on the true purpose of gaming, and that is the feel of the game and the gameplay....

The Vivo V15 Pro does have a slightly bigger display (6.39 inches to 6.3) but the most obvious difference is the material – the V15 Pro has an AMOLED display while the Redmi Note 7 Pro has an LCD one, although Xiaomi claims it is the best quality LCD around....
