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.
The final build of Android 8.0 Oreo has started rolling out to LG V30 devices. LG’s V30 may not be as successful as Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 when it comes to sales, but the former has already started receiving the latest Android 8.0 Oreo update while the latter still runs outdated Android Nougat OS. The new update for the LG V30 smartphones is pretty huge at 1412MB and brings all the Android Oreo goodies to the table. This, of course, includes Picture-in-Picture mode, new emojis, notification dots, cooler-looking icons, and more. Related: LG V30 vs LG V30 Plus That’s not…

Because TubeMate is not for everyone. For those on the lookout for the best alternative to TubeMate, you gotta check out this app called KeepVid. To be honest, I’ve been using their web service for quite some time now, and I’ve liked it for the most part. However, if are looking for an app for your Android phone so that you can download your favorite videos from pretty much any video streaming service, you’re probably gonna love the KeepVid Android app. The best part of this app is that it not only lets you download videos from YouTube, but also…
OnePlus 5 users just got the best Christmas gift. OnePlus founder, Carl Pei, just confirmed, in a tweet, that OnePlus 5 will get the Face Unlock feature that we previously thought was an exclusive for the new 5T handset. Carl Pei’s tweet goes: “Due to popular demand, Face Unlock is coming for the OnePlus 5. Thanks for the feedback, and Merry Christmas!”. However, it’s worth noting that the feature is not included in the update that has started rolling out since yesterday. On learning that the Face Unlock feature does not require any special sort of hardware aside from the…
What a bummer! But don’t you worry; there’s an easy fix! When it comes to downloading YouTube videos on your Android phone or tablet, it could be said without a speck of doubt that there is no other app that comes even an inch close to TubeMate. It’s just the best video downloader app that we have for Android. Period. However, it’s not all roses and sunshine for the TubeMate users as they are facing a new error — “Unable to Download Videos on TubeMate” — making it impossible for them to download videos from their favorite video streaming sites.…
I don’t usually watch the show, but boy, that commercial gave me good laughs. Still don’t get Bitcoin even after reading those 1000 or 2000-words “step-by-step guide for beginners”? Well then, you gotta watch this clip from Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers. The highlight of the episode is a parody advertisement — Bitcoin Commercial: What Is It and How Does It Work? — in which a woman teaches two of her friends what a bitcoin is and how they could put their retirement savings to good use by investing in Bitcoins. I mean, the video is…
It really is the best, I swear. God, is there a drone that can transform itself into an action camera and home security system?. “Oh yes son, Pitta drone can become just about everything you’ve asked for.”. Huh, I have never heard of that name before. “Well, that’s because it didn’t exist before in the first place. It’s a f*cking new Kickstarter campaign, you imbecile.” There is a new Kickstarter campaign in town that has already become successful within the first few days of launch. And, that’s the new Pitta drone which, according to the manufacturer, “is a modular drone…
And it looks… interesting. If you’re anything like Donald… — well, never mind. If the latest Samsung Galaxy S8 with a 5.8-inch screen doesn’t fit in your hands, then we may have a good news for you. There is a new Kickstarter campaign in town to fund the world’s smallest phone dubbed Zanco tiny t1. Well, of course, you won’t get the perks of a real smartphone in this fun-sized phone. But, what you actually get is a 3-day battery life like the good ol’ Nokia feature phones back in the early 2000s. And, of course, it’s a 2G phone…

It’s essentially a circular device that you’ll need to attach at some part of your home, and ta-da, you get to stop worrying about all sort of bad stuff that could potentially happen in your home. Point has a dedicated app that pretty much works on any device. It warns the users about intrusions, sudden temperature changes, loud noises/music at night and more. If you’re not a big…
OnePlus 6 will feature advanced face recognition technology, according to a reliable tipster. Update May 16, 2018: OnePlus has launched their 2018 flagship phone, OnePlus 6, with ‘notched’ design, 6.3-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display, dual rear cameras (16MP+20MP), Snapdragon 845 chipset, and up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. OnePlus copying the features from an iPhone isn’t something new. In fact, the firm’s first 2017 flagship – OnePlus 5 – featured a rear panel that was scarily similar to that of the iPhone 7 Plus. But, so what? The phone was undoubtedly the best you could get for a $500 price…
