The Paranoid Android ROM is known for some of the unique features that the ROM incorporates including Halo, PIE controls and Per-App DPI settings. Much more recently, the PA team introduced a new style of multi-tasking that allows apps to over-draw over the currently running application. This means that you can have a floating app running on top of any app you are already using in the background. Portal aims to bring Paranoid Android’s Multi-tasking style and Halo (Floating notifications) style to all Android devices out there....
Hewlett-Packard, better known as HP, trades the title of “world’s largest PC maker” with their Chinese rival Lenovo seemingly every other quarter. The two are neck and neck, trying desperately to capture value in a market that’s being attacked by these newfangled devices known as tablets and smartphones. It’s not just that tablets and phones are easier to use than computers, but they’re also cheaper, far more portable, and they’re gaining in popularity because Microsoft has failed to deliver an operating system that interests developers....
You can get busy with a well-deserved Netflix binge, play board games like Monopoly and Scrabble, or attempt a complicated puzzle. Tap or click to test your skills at the impossible ten penny puzzle. While these activities will help pass the time, you can only play so many games and stare at your TV for so long before you feel like a zombie. But what else is there? Podcasts. With thousands to choose from covering a variety of topics, there’s something for everyone....
In Summary The Realme X7 Pro marks Realme’s return to the budget flagship sector, after a brief break following the Realme X3 Superzoom last year. The X7 Pro marks the first time Realme has used a MediaTek chipset in one of its high-end devices, opting for the Dimensity 1000+ chip. The phone ticks almost all flagship boxes, but we feel loses out on a “special something” that would have made it a compelling rather than a competitive option....
The “USB 3.0 Promotor Group” has just announced a brand new connector called “USB Type C”. The current microUSB port you see on all your Android devices is known internally as “Micro B”. So what’s different with this new standard? I’m not going to sugar coat this, it’s basically a rip-off of Apple’s Lightning connector. And by that I mean you’ll be able to insert this new USB cable into your device without having to check which way is up....
During the weekend, an Italian journalist by the name of Flavio Pic sent out a tweet saying Samsung’s Galaxy S5 will be announced in London and an event due to take place in mid-March. Flavio says he’s received this information from a “trusted source”, but honestly, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come up with the same prediction. — Flavio (@flapic) January 12, 2014 Let’s break this rumor down, piece by piece....
Samsung has just unveiled the Galaxy Note 8, its flagship phablet for 2017 and successor to the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7 from last year. Like with all previous Note devices, the Note 8 is filled to the brim with top notch features. If you are looking for the detailed specs sheet of the Galaxy Note 8 for your viewing and geeking out pleasure, look below. As evident from the spec sheet, the Galaxy Note 8 packs largely the same internals as the Galaxy S8 but with few key improvements thrown in: more RAM (6GB), a slightly larger display, and a dual-12MP camera setup at the rear....
The company shared with ZDNET a banner image of what looks like the rear triple-camera module of the next-gen flagship smartphone, along with some fancy marketing lingo that’s almost too open for interpretation: “Cloud 11” and “Witness the Shape of Power.” Am I supposed to feel hyped or puzzled? Review: OnePlus Nord N20 5G: A worthy contender for budget phone of the year On Cloud 11 A OnePlus spokesperson tells me that the Cloud 11 theme “represents the upgraded technology and performance delivered by the brand’s latest products, and to elevate the user experience from Cloud 9 to Cloud 11....
OnePlus is rolling out the OxygenOS 9.5.7 update for the OnePlus 7 Pro which fixes the ghost touch issues and further improves its camera performance. OnePlus has received a lot of flak for the relatively sub-par camera performance of the OnePlus 7 Pro, with the last camera-centric update failing to bring about any noticeable improvement to image quality. The OxygenOS 9.5.7 update, however, packs plenty of image processing related changes that have an overall positive impact on the OnePlus 7 Pro’s camera performance....
Earlier today, OnePlus announced a partnership with Hasselblad lens. OnePlus will unveil the OnePlus 9 series on March 23. Thanks to leaks and rumors, we already know quite a bit about OnePlus latest flagship. OnePlus 9 is expected to use the Sony IMX789 sensor, and the promo video is already out. Sony IMX789 will come equipped with Digital Overlap HDR that is superior to staggered HDR. To be more precise, the Digital Overlap HDR can simultaneously capture multiple images and eliminate ghosting caused by moving subjects....
Realme Buds Air: Design The Realme Buds Air features a full-arc design and weighs in at around 4.16 gm (single earbud). Realme says, the design, along with that weight proportion, allows for a comfortable fit in the ear and makes the buds easy to wear for a longer time. The earbuds come in three color options: White, Yellow, and Black. Realme Buds Air: Hardware The Realme Buds Air is powered by Realme’s custom R1 chip at its core and uses Bluetooth 5....
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....
It has the looks and the specs For, make no mistake about it, the Realme Watch S Pro is very much on point when it comes to design and specs. It comes with a large, round 1.39-inch round AMOLED display with a stainless steel frame, with two buttons on the right, one for waking up and switching off the display and another for accessing your fitness and workout menu. It does look a fair bit like the Mi Watch Revolve with markings on the outer part of the frame, but that is not really a bad thing....
Galaxy Fold has been hogging the limelight ever since it was released earlier this year. The first batch of Galaxy Fold sent to the reviewers suffered from several issues and this forced Samsung to delay the launch. Now CNET has put the Galaxy Fold through a torture test and the device failed yet again. Samsung Galaxy Fold F is priced at $2000 and features a foldable display. During the launch, Samsung claimed that the Fold F is tested for up to 200,000 folds....
Let’s not beat around the bush: Android is a bloated operating system. You need some pretty beefy specs to make it sing. The same can’t be said about Windows Phone, which runs flawlessly on devices that cost less than $150. And as for Apple’s iOS, it’s often faster and more responsive on iPhones that have half the horsepower as the latest devices from either Samsung or HTC. According to VR-Zone, Google knows this, and they’ll do something about it in October with the release of Android 5....
Remember that clamshell Samsung Android phone that leaked yesterday called the “Hennessy”, the one with two 3.3 inch screens? Well, it’s just showed up on Samsung’s Chinese website. Strangely enough, there’s no model name. It’s simply called the W789. Specs are extremely unremarkable, and the phone appears to have two SIM card slots so you can simultaneously use GSM and CDMA networks. Like I said less than 24 hours ago, don’t expect this thing to ever be sold outside of China....
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.

Small, metallic and with USB Type C and USB Type-A too Western Digital has now returned to that “One Drive To Store Them All” formula with the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type C. We will just call it the Ultra Dual henceforth, for the sake of simplicity and a more representative word count. We got the 128 GB version and well, it cuts a very impressive and very compact figure....
OnePlus today unveiled its much-anticipated 2017 flagship: the OnePlus 5. While much of the handset was already leaked or revealed by the company itself, OnePlus still had a few surprises up its sleeve at the live launch event of the device. In terms of design, there is no denying that the OnePlus 5 looks very similar to the iPhone 7 Plus from the rear. It now features curved corners and edges to make it more ergonomic friendly....
