“Seeing AI” fundamentally pushes forward how blind users interact with the environment and its objects. It can recognize almost everything from people to documents and read out to the person. In addition to that, it can detect and guess the strangers’ age, emotion and in some cases, what they are doing. For example, “a man sitting on a couch working on a laptop” or “a girl playing frisbee”. These, although, entirely depend on how clear the image is....

Let’s begin with the looks as that’s what most people are going to notice first when you have the speaker lying on your table. The first time I unboxed the speaker, I instantly saw a close resemblance to Apple’s HomePod. Not as big, of course, and not as premium but there’s no denying that the Mivi Octave is a looker. There’s fabric all over the cylindrical surface and a soft matt plastic layer on the top and bottom....

Confused? Let us explain. VoIP calls aren’t new. From Skype and Yahoo Messenger back then to WhatsApp and Google Duo calls now, VoIP calls have come a long way. But the limitation with these services is that it requires both the clients to have the same app/software to be installed in order for it to work. Wi-Fi calling aims to fix that as you can place and accept calls without the need for any app/software, with the only requirement being a Wi-Fi connection....

1. Jobs was adopted Steve Jobs was half Syrian Muslim and half American biologically. His biological parents; Abdulfattah “John” Jandali and Joanne Schieble Simpson were unmarried college students. Simpson became pregnant with Jobs at the age of 23. They put Jobs up for adoption at birth and only wanted to give him to a couple with college degrees. They met the adoptive parents, Paul and Clara Jobs who initially lied about being college graduates but then promised Jobs’ biological parents that they would make sure that he gets a college education....

The Lumia 630 comes in five bright colours with swappable shells for those who like to customise the looks of their smartphone. It carries a 4.5-inch WVGA display (845×480 pixel) with ClearBlack technology and Gorilla Glass 3 on top of it. Nokia is playing around with its hardware with some strange choice of internals.

Nokia’s N1 tablet is powered by Android 5.0 Lollipop but also comes with Nokia Z Launcher, a home screen ‘that makes things simple’.

Let’s have a look at the tech specs of the device, as these have been made public, as well:...

However, there are many phones which do have support for VoLTE from the hardware side, but are not able to make calls on Jio as the software restrictions have been applied. While many OEMs could be working with Jio for a tie up before enabling VoLTE support, we discovered the OnePlus is one among them! Helen, who worked with OnePlus on the Oxygen OS operating system has replied to one user’s question about VoLTE support on older OnePlus devices on the official OnePlus Forum in a Oxygen OS Q&A thread and here is what she says: Though this is not an absolute giveaway or official statement, we see that OnePlus might be working to provide VoLTE support through a software update to their older devices like OnePlus 2, OnePlus One and OnePlus X....

Yes, we are talking about the Silk White “Limited edition” of the OnePlus 6 which went on sale today in India and across the world. Despite being a Limited Edition variant, the packaging is pretty much like the other regular OnePlus 6 variants. The company has stuffed in a transparent silicone case for those who are wary of the slippery glass back. Personally speaking, this is by far the best of the four variants of OnePlus 6....

Design and Display Of the two smartphones, the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro, the OnePlus 7 Pro gets a radical design change, with a higher screen-to-body ratio, bigger display, no notch, and almost zero head and chin on the top and the bottom. On the back, it has a similar glass design found on the previous generation of OnePlus devices. However, it is the front of the device, where things begin to get interesting....

In sport, we have a term called ‘commentator’s curse.’ As per it, whatever a commentator praises is bound to get the rough end of the stick soon. Well, we have just got a taste of it. Rounding up our year in Hollywood style, we decided to hand a special award at the very end for a product that simple refused to fade out into the tech sunset. We took a leaf out of Frank Miller and called it The 300 Award, which we handed to the Sony PlayStation 2....

“You gotta be kidding. It is called the Realme 6 Pro…” “Yes, yes, but that is actually just nomenclature. This is actually the successor to the Realme X.” “What! Wait, but wasn’t that the Realme XT?” “No, that was just an extended version…” “Oh and what of the Realme X2 Pro?” “A budget flagship, my dear chap.” “And the Realme X2?” “Oh come on, look, Realme insists this is the sequel to the Realme X....

The Visual Snapshot UI looks very similar to what Google Now used to offer back in the day. It contains proactive suggestions with personalized and timely information related to your commute, upcoming events, recent online purchases, and much more. You can access the new (or old, depending on whether you’ve used Google Now) overview page by tapping the icon on the top right corner of your screen when you launch the Google Assistant....

Right, let’s get this out of the way first off – they say the new iPhones look exactly like their predecessors. Is that right? In a word: Yes. In keeping with the iPhone design philosophy of keeping the original and S versions looking pretty much the same (remember how difficult it was to distinguish between the iPhone 4 and 4S, 5 and 5S?), Apple has pretty much followed the same design sheet for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus as it did for the 6 and 6 Plus....

1. Eye Comfort mode One of the highlights of the Honor 8 Pro is its gorgeous 5.7-inch quad HD display, but if you find it straining your eyes, just switch to Eye Comfort mode, which claims to filter out blue light for a more relaxed reading experience. You can even schedule when you wish the phone to switch over to this mode. You can even control color temperatures if you do not like the default option (some might find the default option too ‘yellow’)...
