ACROSS 1 The kind of intelligence that is expected to make headlines, given that its natural counterpart is difficult to place in phones. (10) 3 It ain’t a 845, but a 9810 ain’t too bad to ‘chip in’ for a device that is an iPhone challenger. Ask Samsung. (6) 5 LG’s Gone Girl at MWC. Yes, an improved V30 might be there, but this girl won’t. (4) 8 Mi blend of two that we are giving away....

The leaks also involve the pricing of the new Nexus 7 and given the fact that we’re nearing Google’s event on July 24, this makes the new information seem pretty legit. Google didn’t announce the successor to the Nexus 7 at its annual I/O conference, therefore we have all the reasons to assume they will do so on the upcoming event, called “breakfast with Sundar Pichai“. If you don’t know, Sundar Pichai now oversees Android’s development after Andy Rubin’s leave....

Those were the words of a Google executive to me when we were discussing Android in 2011. The OS was still in its infancy and considered a notch below the likes of not just iOS but also Symbian, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry. Of course, this changed radically in the coming years. Today, Android is THE OS when it comes to mobile phones, and Symbian, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone can be found in the tech graveyard (in the OS section, mobile sub-section)....

2011 was a fantastic year for tech startups with Initial Public Offering’s (IPOs) happening left, right and center, social networks bringing down dictatorships across Africa and the general web experience for users getting better than ever before. On the down side we lost some of the greatest businessmen and innovators of modern times and Google put many legitimate websites out of business due to their Panda updates. We have rounded up the biggest and best tech/web stories from 2011 but don’t forget to share your own thoughts in the comments below....

Used by over 450 million users across the globe, the whopping 16 billion dollar valuation has left many people in shock, but it fits Facebook’s roadmap to “make the world more open and connected”. Interestingly this is about twice the price Microsoft paid for Skype three years ago. And this is by far the biggest investment Facebook has made till date. What does this deal mean? So what happens now?...

This Mini Mobile Robotic Printer is aimed at those on the go, who are either traveling often or have to work remotely. From the looks of it, this will be another successfully crowdfunded KickStarter project, as it already has more than one thousand backers who have pledged almost half of its $400,000 goal with 28 days to go. And there are plenty of reasons to love this device – it has a cute heart-shaped design and it moves on his own on any size page trailing ink....

Technology, Helpful Tool for Education or Isolating Factor? When I was a kid, we used coloring books and played in the sand, or ran around the street. Computers were something rare, and not everybody was playing games at that time or spending so much time in the online. This reminds me of the latest Simpsons episode (at the moment of this writing), called The D’oh-cial Network. In the episode, Lisa creates a social network just like Facebook to make friends and, eventually, she discovers that albeit she has a lot of friends, you can’t really call that a friendship....

Evolution has given us the possibility to see the world in three dimensions: height, width and depth. Thanks to this, we can judge distances between objects in space, something that technology has only recently been able to do. Until now, our screens, as big and as vivid they could be, did not give us this three dimensional, or 3D, experience. Our computers were stuck in two dimensions, which is a great disadvantage....

If you just bought a shiny iPhone, then the next logical step is to get a data plan that suits your needs and helps you make the best of your smartphone. Just like Android devices, an iPhone without an Internet subscription is half a phone. A glorified media player and nothing more. But when you make that magic connection, you can see the full potential of your new iDevice. Emails, photo sharing, social networking and many more, are now in the palm of your hand and only a few taps away....

In a recently discovered patent, Toshiba aims make use of Windows’ support for two monitors and, why not, they might be releasing an eReader with Windows 8 inside. Although there is little to be known about this future book, it seems that Toshiba will use two LCD or OLED displays to support viewing of documents, images, web pages and “other information”, while the device itself is opened. Toshiba and foldable devices Taking a look back, Toshiba has a clear history of foldable devices....

Google at their I/O event this year unveiled the completely redesigned “Photos” app, a one stop solution for all your photos. With unlimited photo backups, beautiful materialized applications across platforms and a web interface, this app is just perfect. Google Photos does two things exceptionally well – Organizing and Searching. Backing up to the cloud can be done easily by any other app but managing them can be a tedious task, exactly where this service shines....

It’s a pretty crazy World Cup this time, with teams like Italy, Chile, Netherlands, and the USA failing to make it through the qualifying rounds. Over 190 networks around the world will have live coverage in different parts of the world, and for the first time in the history of the FIFA World Cup, it will have extensive online streaming rights holder websites and mobile apps. Update: Watch FIFA World Cup 2022 Online for Free...

WatchOut has created a kids smartwatch with safety and connectivity at its helm.

Here’s our WatchOut Wearables Next-Gen Kids Smartwatch review. Design & Display It’s quite a challenge to design an ideal kids smartwatch.

As you are about to see, even the most oldest smartphone can take the role of a more common device and replace additional gears such as a GPS, a camera or even a jukebox. And with a bit of tweaking, their limits can be pushed beyond boundaries.

What makes the Mi A2 special? In the simplest terms, the fact that it is part of the Android One initiative and runs on stock Android. All of Xiaomi’s other devices in India run on the company’s own interface, which is called MIUI. What is Android One? Why is it important? Without getting too technical about it, phones that are part of the Android One initiative are made in collaboration, the company which makes Android....

A lot of things are changing with the Cupertino giant and the one we welcome the most is how the company is finally ready to live stream its official keynote more often than before.
