I spend the better part of my day on a document editor rambling about technology. And in most of these instances, I don’t touch any of the formatting tools or tweaks available. My weapon of choice until now was Google Docs, primarily because of its offline capabilities, and omnipresent availability. But for the past two weeks, I’ve been using Dropbox’s new Paper and I gotta say, its minimalistic approach has definitely stumbled my affection towards Google’s productivity suite....

If I had a Dollar for every time I have been asked that question from late 2014 till his recent, surprising departure from the company he played a major role in making a household name in India, I would have accumulated a small fortune. They say that no media person should ever get too close to his subject. Well, a reflection of how close I am perceived to be to the former Xiaomi Global Vice President can be gauged by the fact that when he stepped from his post a few days ago, I was being asked: “Do you know what your Hugo has done?...

For starters, the new Nokia 6 is powered by the latest Android Nougat operating system and features an aluminium unibody design which is a big deal according to HMD as it takes “55 minutes to machine a Nokia 6 from a block of 6000 series aluminium”.

Predictable but solid design Looks and design is one area where we do not really see any dramatic changes unless the devices belong to the premium segment. In the more humble mid-segment, we generally see just a few changes that help us differentiate one device from the other. Well, the Z17 Mini’s case is no different. While Nubia has its own stamps which say “Nubia,” the device does not “really” stand out in terms of design....

OnePlus’ co-founder Carl Pei was telling me about the launch of the next OnePlus device. The company had decided to do away with the conventional launch approach and make the device’s launch totally online. Not many thought that it would succeed. But it totally was in line with the company’s motto of Never Settle. “It is not really regular, is it?” I remarked. Carl laughed in his typically boyish manner and said, “Hey, we are OnePlus....

Upsetting the conventional applecart OnePlus, in particular, was able to get into the high-end segment market and disrupt what the territory of the big sharks like Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC and even Apple was. All this without a big marketing budget (as the company itself admitted in the past) and zero mainstream advertising. OnePlus (when started) was a relatively small company and it was easier for it company to experiment with this way of marketing – it thrived on word of mouth and different digital marketing initiatives, rather than traditional print, electronic and Web marketing....
