Despite having almost no presence in the US just yet, its recent purchase by TikTok owner ByteDance has rocketed the resources the company has on hand to the point where it could pose a real threat to Meta’s hardware ambitions. This recent ascent was the main reason I chose it as one of the companies that will shape the Metaverse. Now, the hardware manufacturer has revealed a new push into the enterprise VR space using largely the same hardware powering its recently released, consumer-focused Pico 4 headset....

Time and again, Apple has launched ad campaigns to remind us how important the issue of privacy is and how it is practically the only brand that cares about it. Now, privacy is a serious issue, which can make it heavy and dull to discuss, but trust Apple to add a touch of humor in the gravest of issues to lighten things up.

But while higher video quality continues to impress, intentionally lower quality videos can also make an otherwise average clip shine. If you love recording and sharing clips of your vacations, kids or grandkids, hobbies or just your everyday life, you’re going to love this. Ready to go RTRO? What is RTRO? Remember looking through old family videos that were a little blurry, didn’t have much color and were, frankly, kind of boring?...

HTC just experienced their first quarterly loss in the company’s history. Speaking about history, it’s pretty much proven that once you start your descent into irrelevance, the odds of your turning things around lie somewhere between slim and none. Just look at Nokia, which was purchased by Microsoft. Motorola, which was purchased by Google. And now BlackBerry, who will eventually be chopped up and sold into pieces. So what’s in HTC’s future?...

As warned earlier, OnePlus today announced a price hike for the OnePlus 3 in the United Kingdom. The move comes due to the Pound losing its value against the USD, especially after the surprising Brexit move.

People were asked to register their interest in Jio Giga Fiber on the Jio website and that was it....

The one thing that worries potential buyers is the design and build quality that are normally compromised in the quest to lower the pricing. Coolpad Note 3’s overall design is nothing great, but nothing shabby either. Coming at 9.33mm thickness and weighing close to 160 gms, the device is heavy but thanks to the curved edges and the contour on the back, it fits neatly into one’s palm. The baby skin finish on the back (as Coolpad names it) brings in a matte finish ensuring the heavy phone taken over by gravity is not slippery....

The reason why this handset pulled up so many controversies is because people were interested to knowing how can a company manage to sell an Android Smartphone at the price of Rs 251 which is less than $4.

The Vivo Nex, which was announced recently, envisions a world where a pop-out selfie camera is the norm. Not to be outdone, Oppo, another smartphone manufacturer that wants to minimize bezels without adopting a notch, has taken things a step further. It does feature a pop-out front-facing camera, but it also supports that same pop-out design for the pair of rear cameras, too. That’s right, the Oppo Find X boasts a mechanized pop-out function, which the company states only takes 0....
