Abhin’s love for all things tech started when he got his first smartphone, Galaxy S (the first), in 2010. Since then, he has been crazy about technology and tried out all major Android flagships from Samsung, and HTC. He currently uses a Google Pixel 4a as his daily driver.
HTC, stop releasing too many U11 series handsets already! Just last year, we saw HTC launching numerous U11 series handsets in the form of the original U11, U11 Plus, and U11 Life. And now, the Taiwanese-based company has launched yet another phone under the U11 family dubbed U11 Eyes. I don’t really know, but for some reason, I feel HTC should stop calling their phones U11 already. It’s just confusing! In terms of design, the new handset looks pretty much like any U11 phones released so far. However, don’t expect the U11 Eyes to echo the performance of the original…
MSI has launched two Optix MPG Series laptops of the form MPG27C and MPG27CQ at CES 2018. If you’re someone who spends a hella lot of money on monitors to enhance your gaming experience, then you may wanna check out these two new gaming monitors dubbed MPG27C and MPG27CQ unveiled at the CES 2018 show. They have five built-in RGB LEDs on the front that you can program to work based on in-game stuff like timers or cooldowns or — even better — let you know when you have any Discord notifications. As far as the features are concerned, both…
Acer Swift 7 is only one millimeter thicker than the Galaxy S8. Acer just broke their own record by unveiling the world’s thinnest laptop dubbed Acer Swift 7 at the CES show 2018. It’s an ultrabook that marks the second-generation of the Swift 7 series, started in July 2016. Mind you, this one is not just the thinnest laptop you could get, but also is one of the most powerful systems out there. One thing I didn’t like though, is that the front-facing camera is located on the bottom bezel which is quite a hassle while making a video call.…
Everyone and their grandma knows by now that Samsung is working on their next flagship, Galaxy S9. If Samsung follows their good ol’ roadmap, the device might likely debut at the MWC 2018. This means eager leakers have only about a month left before the official launch to reveal their top-secret information out into the wild. The latest to hit the web is a picture allegedly showcasing the retail box of the Samsung Galaxy S9. While we already know that the S9 is going to be a small iterative upgrade over the Galaxy S8 in terms of design, we know…
Unfortunately, Samsung couldn’t pull off a stable Android 8.0 Oreo build for their Galaxy S8/S8+ devices in 2017. However, it looks like we may not have to wait too long for that stable Oreo update as the firm has just started rolling out the final Oreo beta build to the handsets. The new update, with software version ZRA5, weighs around 595MB and includes several bug fixes and security patches for January. Of note, the final Oreo beta is only available in India; however, we expect other regions to follow suit in a matter of time. Samsung Galaxy S8 features a 5.8-inch…
If you have had plans to get an HTC 10 anytime soon, now may be the right time. Sure, the HTC U11 may be the best phone to come out of the Taiwanese tech giant so far, but that doesn’t mean the firm’s 2016 flagship phone HTC 10 is a bad choice to go for in 2018. The device is now going for an all-time low price of 300 euros on Rue Du Commerce, France. If you’re looking for a solid smartphone in a budget, then this deal is something you can’t afford to lose. In terms of specs, the…
If you are a BlackBerry fanboy living in the United States, then you’re in for some luck. TCL, in October 2017, launched an Android phone dubbed BlackBerry Motion that no one really asked for. For some reason, the firm thought it would be a good idea to release the device in limited markets. As a result, the phone didn’t make it to the US markets, thus disappointing the BB fans in the country. However, the BlackBerry-brander phone maker today announced that they will start selling their latest mid-range offering BlackBerry Motion in the United States on January 12. The device…
They even copied the worst feature of the iPhone X: The Notch LOL. Chinese smartphone makers drawing inspiration from renowned smartphone brands is nothing new. In fact, we’ve already seen a bunch of iPhone X rip-offs making it to the markets following the launch of the device. But, in case all you’ve wanted in your next smartphones was that “notch” from iPhone X coupled with the gorgeous (leaked) Galaxy S9 design, then we may have a phone for you: The Doogee V. I mean, you gotta take a look at the leaked picture of the upcoming Doogee V below and…
If you’re one of those 5000 users who own an Essential phone, you gotta download this fix ASAP. Not many of the people in this world own an Essential Phone. In fact, according to reports, the futuristic-looking phone has been bought by only about 5000 consumers across the globe. But, that is definitely not stopping the new startup to roll out the latest security updates for the device. Speaking of which, the firm took it to Twitter to announce they are rolling out the latest January security patches. Per the tweet, the update also includes fixes for security flaws including…
Three new Xperia phones won’t come with a feature that fans have been waiting for so long. As if the 2017 Xperia phones didn’t disappoint the fans enough, Sony is all set to showcase three new ‘boring’ phones at the upcoming CES 2018 event at the Las Vegas Convention Centre. Make no mistake, we are not talking about the much-rumored Xperia XZ Pro-A that will mark the first Xperia flagship phone of 2018. We are definitely not talking about the Xperia XZ2 either. These devices in question are not flagships, instead, they are the midrange phones that no one really…
