Samsung aur Sony mien itna sab aata hai laga lagaya! (There is nothing on it....

Not if you are at a Lenovo event, though. No, the “after event” of a Lenovo launch is inevitably that of executives tying up loose ends, checking on devices, co-ordinating transport schedules and getting ready to move to the next stage. There are no fans, no extended sessions with the media, no tear down sessions or even post-event “yay, we did it” selfies for the team. And no, this is not some ice cold professional team finishing its task for the day a la Samsung, but more a bunch of individuals (mostly informally dressed and very relaxed with each other) simply getting on with their work....

Standing out as a launcher isn’t easy – there are 100s of them. While customization is one of the key features that most of them provide, they usually fail to provide some good utility. Microsoft introduced its “Continuum” with its Nokia 950 back in the day and they want to bring in something similar to this launcher – a concept that is alien to a launcher where certain supported files can be projected onto the PC from the phone via a launcher!...

While 5G is still a premium feature found on more expensive phones, Qualcomm is now enabling OEMs to provide 5G capabilities on more affordable phones with the new Snapdragon 480 Mobile Platform.
