The new policy, although, won’t come into effect until the 12th of November. In addition, backups which haven’t been updated in a year will now be automatically deleted just like Android backups. Hence, the Facebook-owned messaging service recommends backing up data before October 30th. Google Drive backups for WhatsApp was announced way back in 2015. The feature easily lets anyone with a Google account, which they probably have given they’re using an Android phone, upload WhatsApp data to the cloud....

OnePlus’ phones have never excelled at the aspects most manufacturers today concentrate on like cameras or the design. They’ve always been about offering a better experience. An experience that doesn’t deteriorate after two or three years. Even today if I pick up my four-year-old OnePlus One and use it as my primary phone, I’m sure it will be just fine. OnePlus’ approach is simple. Focus on bundling the top-of-the-line specifications, clean software, and make the rest work around that....

I remember being a little kid and watching soccer games together with my father, brother and even cousins. It was like a holiday and we were sharing together the thrill and emotions of scoring a goal. But things definitely go bad when watching TV goes out of hand and it transform you into a vegetable. The Internet Steals Viewers From Television? A Nielson study back in 2009 revealed that the average American watches 4 hours and 49 minutes of television each day....

Microsoft is trying to address this by announcing new Windows Phone partnerships for carrier billing. The Redmond-based company actually says that it is the first global smartphone platform that brings carrier billing to China, India, and Brazil, and by what we know, they seem to be right. So, from now on, owners of Windows Phone devices in China (China Mobile), India (Idea Cellular), Brazil (Claro), as well as Verizon customers in the United States, can now pay for apps in their local Windows Phone Store by using their mobile carrier instead of a credit or debit card....

For those living under a non-tech rock, we are talking about the other Steve of Apple Inc., one that was pretty much the brain behind every product that the company initially launched. Yes, we are talking about Steve Wozniak. The “geek” of the Steve-duo. While there is no denying that the tech world knows a lot about Wozniak already, on his birthday (he turns 67 today), we thought it would be good to share a few facts about Apple’s tech wizard that are not that well known....

Samsung and Xiaomi each had an equal share of 23.5 in Q3 despite it being a record quarter for the former. The Korean smartphone giant registered a 39 percent quarter-on-quarter rise. Xiaomi, on the other hand, tripled its shipments year-on-year. Analysts suggest the key factor in Xiaomi’s exponential growth is its expansion to offline channels across the country. The Chinese smartphone vendor has been consistently bringing in phones in disparate price brackets for serving every customer there is....

It was AOL and Yahoo Messenger which hooked me to the Internet almost two decades ago. Currently the market is crowded with hundreds of Messaging apps trying to make a place for themselves. Among these Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, Viber etc are ruling the roost. This time around, Yahoo claims that it has designed the app from ground up – something that was long pending. Let’s check out what the new Yahoo Messenger promises and if it delivers....

Which, let us confess, is one heck of a surprise for us. For, when Apple unveiled the iPhone XR, it seemed to have cut back on the cameras and the display to accommodate a lower price tag than the XS and XS Max. So while the XS (and Max) had dual 12.0-megapixel cameras on the back and a 7-megapixel front camera, the XR only had a single 12.0-megapixel rear camera, although it had the same front camera set up....

Xiaomi’s vice president Hugo Barra, put down his cup of coffee to ponder the question I had asked him: why did some people treat the word “Chinese” as something negative rather than as a reflection of the nationality of a company? It is interesting that many feel that Barra himself was hired by Xiaomi to make the brand feel “less Chinese.” He laughs at the idea but the perception of Chinese brands by a large chunk of the media is no laughing matter....

The Poco M2 Pro sees Poco take aim at a new price segment – the one just below that targeted by the Poco X2. While the X2, at Rs 15,999 (now increased to Rs 17,499), looked at the section of consumers wanting to move perhaps a slight step up above the Rs 15,000 segment, the M2 Pro is positioned very firmly below it. Which is actually where the Redmi Note 9 Pro also stays....

Looks like a Note 5 Pro sibling with a notch A blend of metal and glass, the Redmi 6 Pro definitely looks good and feels sturdy. The device measures 149.3 x 71.7 x 8.8 mm and weighs 178 grams, making it compact if a little chunky. You can use it with a degree of ease with one hand, a rarity in these days. It has been a little more than a year since the phone world was introduced to the notch and ever since then, and while the tech community itself remains divided over it, companies seem to have been swayed by it....

The Quintessential Redmi Note 10 In terms of sheer looks and design, the Redmi Note 10S shares more than just the name with the Redmi Note 10. The two phones look so similar that they might seem like the same phone and not two different ones when kept next to each other. It basically seems like Xiaomi has added the S element on the inside of the phone because it really is impossible to physically tell them apart....
