Starting off with what stands out when the device is held in hand for the first time, that amazing build quality. Nokia is known to build their phones like a tank and the 6.1 is no exception. The body is carved out of a single block of 6000 series Aluminum with chamfered edges giving it a premium look. Even though the smartphone looks and feels great, the back has a very smooth matte finish which makes the device extremely slippery in the hand, and the sharp edges just add to misery....

The Nokia 8 Sirocco follows the characteristic design language of the all new Nokia lineup, but it distinguishes itself from the rest by its display. The top end offering from the Finnish brand comes with a 5.5 inch pOLED 18:9 dual edged display that offers splendid viewing experience. Gone are the large bezels found in the last generation Nokia 8. The all-new smartphone has minimal black borders all round and results in a rather compact form factor....

Design While the Redmi Note 5 Pro features a more conservative all-aluminum exterior, the Nokia X6 opts for a glass body that will certainly help it stand out among its fellow peers. The Redmi Note 5 Pro, however, is a lot heavier (180g vs 150g) thanks to its larger battery. Display Both the phones have a tall nearly 6-inch 1080p displays on the front. However, since the Nokia X opts for a notch, the bezels around the sides are much narrower on it than the Redmi Note 5 Pro....

Sounds like a story we have all heard before, right? But the tech brand we are talking about here is not Apple and the two colleagues-cum-friends are not the two Steves, Jobs and Woz. This is actually a more recent, more modern day separation happening at one of the most popular brands in the market at the moment — OnePlus. The OnePlus phenomenon OnePlus was co-founded by Pete Lau and Carl Pei back in December 2013 and it wasn’t long before the brand became a very ‘unsettling’ competitor for the rest of the smartphone manufacturers in the game, living up to its “Never Settle” tagline....

It is for the first time that a Chinese OEM focused on selling smartphones online has achieved this feat. For years now, Samsung and Apple occupied the first two slots with the former enjoying a 54.3% market share last year while the latter was sitting pretty at 29.6%. The surge in market share comes at a time when OnePlus launched a new smartphone, the OnePlus 6, and also at a time when the brand is expanding in terms of offline presence as well by inaugurating multiple offline experience stores for consumers to have a look at the devices and then make an informed purchase....

And then, one day, they suddenly find themselves face to face. And draw their weapons for round two. Poco and OnePlus: the first clash in 2018 Yeah, we so got them feels as news filtered in that Xiaomi’s sub-brand, Poco, would be launching the Poco F3 GT a day after the launch of the OnePlus Nord 2 in India. The two brands that had been seemingly avoiding each other after a fierce first battle, now seem set for round 2 of what had been a rather high-profile rivalry....

Oppo F19 Pro and F19 Pro+ At large, both the F19 and the F19 Pro+ smartphones share the same design and specifications, except for a few differences. These include a change in the processor and charging speeds. The change in processor also brings 5G connectivity on the F19 Pro+, which the regular F19 Pro misses out on. Design and Display Starting off with the design first, both smartphones feature a gradient-finish back with the Oppo branding on the bottom right and a square camera module to house the quad-camera array on the top left....

To enable that, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 comes with the Hexagon 685 DSP which can be found on the company’s flagship chipsets including the Snapdragon 845. Its always-on and always-sensing nature essentially allows phones to react quicker to machine learning queries. That also means phones with the Snapdragon 670 can have always-listening virtual assistant features too. Compared to the Snapdragon 660, Qualcomm says the addition of the Hexagon 685 has led to an uplift in AI performance of nearly 1....

The Realme Band features a 0.96-inch color display with over 65,000 colors and 64-letters limit on one page. It follows the curved and borderless design, claiming to give it an ergonomic feel and fit on the wrist. There is a touch-button on the device to allow for easy operations without blocking the view on the display. It comes with up to 5-levels of brightness support, which can be changed accordingly using the Realme Link app....

Design and Comfort The Realme Buds Q are built completely out of polycarbonate and the design is inspired by pebbles or cobbles and hence the rounded finish all over. We like the design on the Realme Buds Q since there aren’t any sharp edges or corners. The way it is designed makes the case look smaller than it actually is and it’s also easy to pocket. The Realme Buds Q also manages to be sturdy and there’s not a lot of wiggle at the hinge when opening or closing the lid....

Called the Redmi Earbuds S, the earbuds are essentially the same as the Redmi AirDots S, which were launched in China last month, and feature a 7.2mm driver, connect over Bluetooth 5.0, offer IPX4 protection, and promise up to 12 hours of battery life. In terms of design, the Earbuds S follows the same design as the Redmi AirDots S. They come in only one color option: Black, and are IPX4-rated for water resistance....

Looks that…well, kill (flame on!) Well, it certainly kills them in the looks department. We have seen our share of very striking flagship devices this year, including the Oppo Reno, the Samsung Galaxy S10+, the Huawei P30 Pro, and of course, the OnePlus 7 Pro, but nothing quite like the Redmi K20 Pro. We got the Flame Red edition of the device (there is also the stunning Glacier Blue and the we-wonder-why-it-exists Carbon Black), and well, it is one of the rare breeds that manages to be flashy AND classy at the same time....

A Kindle that looks classy? Yep! The Voyage is Kindle turning on the style. Earlier Kindles were known for being sturdy and functional, and well, smart at best. This one? Ah, it is definitely not flimsy but whoever we have shown it to has remarked on its sleek finish. At 7.6 mm, it is definitely in the slim category – the iPhone 6 Plus is 7.1 mm – and at 180 grammes, is just a fraction heavier than the iPhone 6 Plus, which is 172 grammes....

Called Flow, this new app can be seen as Samsung’s answer to Apple’s Continuity feature as it lets you easily continue on our tablet what you were doing on your smartphone, or the other way around. So, by using the new platform, you could for example start an email on your phone, and finish it on your tablet or computer. Flow is compatible with almost any Android app that has the ability to “share,” thus letting you transfer what you’re doing in almost any app to another Samsung device....

The Galaxy J2 is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core Exynos 3475 SoC paired with a 1GB of RAM and a 4.7-inch WVGA display. Smart Manager is a new real time optimisation feature from Samsung, which will monitor the smartphones performance on real time and optimises it accordingly, thus saving up on precious RAM memory. The storage department is handled by a 8GB internal storage as opposed to the paltry 4GB on its predecessor, the microSD card slot can accommodate up to a staggering 128GB of memory, which is a rarity in this segment....

Samsung Galaxy M21: Design and Display In terms of design, the Galaxy M21 comes with a gradient finish back, with a triple camera cutout aligned vertically and a fingerprint scanner. It comes in two color options: Midnight Blue and Raven Black. Towards the front, the phone features a 6.4-inch Infinity-U Super AMOLED display with a waterdrop-style notch to house the front-facing camera. The display offers a 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution with a 19....

As for the specifications, the Galaxy S5 sports a 5.1-inch Full HD AMOLED display and is powered by an Exynos octa-core processor (1.9GHz quad core + 1.3GHz quad core) and paired with 2GB of RAM. Internationally, it comes with 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor (with LTE support). Other features include, a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera and a 2800 mAh battery. Connectivity options include 3G support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. It runs on the latest Android 4....

For, with these two devices, Samsung has moved the foldable phone a step closer to being a full-fledged productivity device rather than just technological quirks. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is similar to the previous Fold devices – it’s a phone that folds out and becomes a tablet. And yet, it is different. Different enough for us to call it perhaps the most functional foldable phone ever. And this is not based on a few weeks with a review unit – we have been using the Galaxy Z Fold 3 for a few months now and have seen nothing to change our opinion....
