Let’s get started with the looks. Apologies up front for the quality of the shots, but you can clearly see that the Jio 4G VoLTE phone is branded as Lyf, which is Jio’s sister-brand. The phone has a typical candy bar design with a 2.4-inch color screen on top and dual-language keypad at the bottom. There is a dedicated key for Torchlight (who wouldn’t want one?) flanked by the keys to receive and cut calls....
Within a few minutes of speaking to HMD Global’s Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Pekka Rantala, we get exactly what she meant. He is amiably energetic on stage and gestures often. There is laughter in his voice. His blue eyes, behind rather minimalistic glasses, twinkle in a manner that would make LED indicators on phones jealous. He perhaps knows more about Nokia than anyone else does – he reminded the audience at a recent launch that the Nokia ringtone was actually taken from a composition by a Spanish guitar maestro that was more than a hundred years old, and during his first, two-decade-long tenure at Nokia, was known to some as the Lord of Messaging....

It wasn’t because I grew up or anything. The mobile gaming marketplace was just going through this saturated phase. The store was crowded with thousands of clones and spin-offs of existing ideas. Sure, there were titles like Pokemon Go but after a week, I got fed up and exhausted with all the hype. Perhaps, my laziness was a factor there as well. A couple of months later, though, when Google altered its homepage to highlight indie apps across categories, I stumbled upon a few games that struck the right cord with what sort of titles I like playing on my phone — they should be simple, portrait orientation is a plus, and most importantly, don’t require lengthy sessions for figuring it out....
And other than just reflexly opening the Tweetbot app, the answer is usually – to tweet. I think I’ll just send out a tweet, and be done in 30 seconds. But sometimes, even before I’ve had a chance to do that, I’m already engrossed in the timeline. So I’ve devised some methods to try and avoid all that. 1. From The Web If you use Twitter on the web, you just need to make one small change when it comes to tweeting....

How Real is a Gaming Console from Apple? There’s no Apple gaming console on the market and the Cupertino company seems to be suffering from that and may plan to remedy that. Is Apple planning to muscle its way into the game world? Well, it’s not actually a gaming console, per se. It’s more like a refocused old gadget with an extra improvement attached to it. Reliable sources from Cult of Mac claim that a new TV set will be launched during the year to come that will come packed with a new Apple Kinect-like video game console....
Where did the ZenFone branding go? The Asus 6Z was launched as ZenFone 6 globally in May this year. But in India, Asus had to let go of the ZenFone branding as Zen Mobiles, an Indian smartphone company got a restraining order from the Indian courts. The matter is sub judice, but for now, Asus has decided to go ahead with 6Z naming. What’s the USP of the Asus 6Z?...
The Asus ZenFone AR comes equipped with a front fingerprint sensor, which again is a first in the ZenFone series. The device sports a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED QHD display with a screen to body ratio of 79 percent. Powering the ZenFone AR is the Snapdragon 821 coupled with a choice of RAM ranging up to 8G. It also sets me wondering on why Asus didn’t opt for the newly released Snapdragon 835 instead of the 821 which frankly is a bit dated....

And one of the apps that revels in this sort of situation is the aptly named Summly. Marketed as “pocket sized news for iPhone” (it works on the iPad too, but take our word for it, it works best on the iPhone or iPod touch) Summly specializes in serving up algorithmically generated summaries of news items to your handset. That in itself would be pretty handy – imagine having to go through 400 characters rather than 800 words to get to grips with a development – but what makes the app really stand out is the manner in which this has been implemented....
