Qualcomm today announced three new chipsets for mid-range smartphones: the Snapdragon 625, 435 and 425. Compared to previous offerings from Qualcomm, these new chips are a big upgrade in almost every department. Not only do they support faster LTE networks, they also offer more connectivity options and better performance. As the naming scheme suggests, the Snapdragon 425 is at the very bottom of the chain of the processors unveiled today....

We would recommend trying “Rocket VPN” if you are using Android device. How to get started with Rocket VPN You’ll need to download Rocket VPN from this link.

Chips are made out of hundred of millions, sometimes over one billion, tiny little switches called transistors. Your computer/smartphone/tablet has been getting faster and faster each and every product cycle because said transistors are getting smaller and smaller. The smaller the transistor, the less heat it puts out, which means you can clock it faster. Today’s state of the art, for smartphones and tablets, is 28 nanometer. The first chip that used this advanced process was the Snapdragon S4....

Even cheap laptops these days have solid-state drives, and because SSDs cost significantly more than conventional hard drives (and take up more precious real estate inside the laptop case), there’s a powerful incentive on the part of PC makers to cut the price tag by offering options with smaller SSDs. It’s a false economy. That’s why I’ve always recommended choosing the biggest storage option you can afford. You will probably regret the decision if you try to save a few dollars by skimping on the system drive....

Samsung has started rolling out the May security patch update for the Galaxy S10 series outside of the United States with a number of camera improvements. The update further improves the quality of the photos taken in Night Mode which was introduced with the last software update. The updated Night Mode now keeps the shutter open for longer thereby taking slightly better photos with more light. This can lead to blurry photos if one does not keep their hand steady....

This supposedly leaked marketing material was brought to our attention by Gear India. As mentioned in the headline, the pricing details are unsurprising because we’ve seen the same reported ten days ago. It isn’t too outlandish to think this would be the actual price — OnePlus has year-on-year been incrementally increasing the price of its offerings. In 2015, the OnePlus One 64GB started selling in India for Rs. 21,999. A year later, the OnePlus 2 64GB variant started selling at Rs....

The OODA loop is a four-stage process for decision-making: observe, orient, decide and act. A strategist should cycle through these phases often and rapidly as part of their analysis and decision-making process. Observe The first stage of the OODA loop is focused on gathering information about the environment, the adversary and the decision-maker. The goal of OODA is to allow the decision-maker to make and act upon rapid decisions and create chaos in the mind of their adversary by hiding their intentions and appearing to be unpredictable....

FaceID, but no notch please We think Face ID is a must on the iPad Pro, simply because it would be so much more convenient to just look and unlock the display rather than look for the fingerprint sensor, which appears even tinier than it does on the iPhone, thanks to it being right next to an even larger display. We also think it would be kind of cool if all those sensors on the front would enable you to lock the display by just waving your hand across it – sometimes that is SO necessary to keep away those prying eyes (much more of an issue with a large display tablet than a smaller phone)....

This time it’s a few subtle tweaks instead of a drastic overhaul, which are starting to show up on some devices already. The green background has been darkened each app’s page has a larger install button fewer elements. I personally like the darker green, as it’s a less stark color choice. I’m not sold on that giant installation button, but the rest of the page is much cleaner with other elements moved down....

In its report, Intel explained that the error occurs in the Intel Management Engine (ME), where an attacker could execute a malicious code and thus access privileged information and, if desired, take control of the computer. However, now apart from this if we talk about the electronic goods then it is difficult to guess what is happening to electronics manufacturers to allow something like this to happen. It is not the only case that we have lived this year....

y this matters: Ironically, I’ve been calling Best Buy a lot this week, trying to schedule maintenance for a busted Samsung dishwasher.
