If that sounds difficult, cast your mind three years back to 2013. Android was getting severely fragmented between the haves and the have nots – on the one hand, you had extremely powerful flagship devices that delivered many a dollop for many a Dollar in performance terms, and on the other you had budget devices that were best for basic browsing a bit of social networking and e-mail. There was a mid-section between the two as well, but even that was a significant step down from the flagships, who occupied a price zone of their own....

Getting rid of the clutter Just like Samsung’s TouchWiz, Oppo’s ColorOS was a cluttered, if feature-heavy, UI. Yes, some people liked the multiplicity of options, but many others found it simply overwhelming and some others felt that it had way too much bloatware onboard. Well, that changes with ColorOS 11 which is built on top of Android 11. However, we think Oppo’s efforts in Color OS 11 are closer to Xiaomi’s in MIUI 12 than to Samsung’s One UI – the interface tries to deliver a clean experience but while retaining a very distinct identity of its own, complete with its own tools and apps....

Ajay Raj Negi posted a terrifying CCTV footage on Xiaomi’s Facebook page showing his phone detonating into pieces while he was comfortably using it in his office. As you can see from the attached video itself, this wasn’t a normal case and could have done an awful lot of damage to Ajay if he had been not paying attention. Fortunately, no one was hurt in this case. The unit was purchased from Flipkart, although, we surely can’t blame the seller for this....

And when it comes to smartphones, perhaps no company has shown as much skill in carpet bombing as the South Korean giant, Samsung. Even as other players in the Android zone advanced cautiously, the Korean brand literally flew in with both feet, and in no time at all, had multiple devices at different price points, something the likes of Sony, HTC, Motorola and even Samsung’s own Korean rival, LG, could not deal with....

The key reasons for me to buy the new iPhone were – the previous one conked out, faith in the brand, and having the means to acquire a new one. The 7 is a beauty, the photos and video quality once again are great and I love the slo-mo. The Voice Memo sound quality works well for my thoughts and interviews and the Notes app is fantastic for scribbling a few quick ones....

Stickers on WhatsApp are similar to what you’ll find on other messaging apps. You can choose from a bunch of sticker packs and spam your friends’ chat windows with huge, goofy cartoons. For now, WhatsApp offers a total of twelve sticker packs which you can install or uninstall at any time through the sticker store. Sadly, though, none of them are animated, unlike what you have on apps like Facebook Messenger....

But now, Trusteer, a security company has prepared a report which states that Zeus is aimed at customers of 15 unnamed US banks. Not just the credit card information, it even captures social security and card numbers, and PIN or card verification codes. An established user would not, presumably, be vulnerable unless they entered the password they created when they signed up originally. Sadly, Anti malware detection of Zeus has a poor track record....

ZTE Hawkeye was said to come with some interesting features including Eye Tracking and a sticky back plate, but even then, it failed to attract a large section of consumers. And that was quite evident from its dismal performance in the Kickstarter campaign. As ZTE rightly pointed out in a recent community blog post, most users were looking forward to a premium smartphone with high-end specifications from the Project CSX....

Look not at the spec sheet… Well, this time we think OnePlus has flipped matters around with the OnePlus 5T. This time, the innards remain largely the same as we saw in the OnePlus 5. The Snapdragon 835 processor aided by 6GB or 8 GB of RAM and paired with 64 GB or 128 GB of storage remains in place. And the dual cameras on the rear are still 20 and 16-megapixel ones, while the one in front remains a 16-megapixel affair....

Cursed by a suffix Ever since the inception of the concept of a base iPhone and a Plus/ Pro variant, the world has looked down upon the bare-numbered iPhones.

A resort only reached out for when you did not have much of a choice....
