Oppo launched the successor of Reno 5 Pro just months after its launch. But since that was a good smartphone in itself, we obviously were intrigued by Oppo Reno 6 Pro. It has a beautiful design, a bigger battery, and comes with a more powerful processor. We spent more than a week with it and here’s our Oppo Reno 6 Pro review detailing its pros and cons.
In This Article
Oppo Reno 6 Pro review: Design and Display
The beautiful design of Oppo Reno 6 Pro smartphone is definitely one among its pros. The handset has a curved front and back panel and it comes with a glossy-looking frame. The back panel is made up of glass, but it has a matte finish. It’s almost shiny in appearance – not in a blingy way, but instead, it looks like it subtly glitters. The back of the smartphone houses the camera module that has four lenses and an LED flash, and besides that, there is Oppo branding at the bottom right. Oppo Reno 6 Pro is available in two colour variants – Stellar Black and Aurora. We got the latter for review and we think it looked absolutely stunning.
The right edge of the smartphone has the Power button sandwiched on it while the volume rocker keys are on the left. The SIM tray, USB Type-C port, speaker and microphone are at the bottom while the secondary microphone is at the top. We could reach the keys easily at all times and one-handed usage was no problem at all. Another great thing about the device is its weight. It’s very refreshing to see a smartphone with a display and battery like Oppo Reno 6 Pro weigh just 177 grams.
Flip over and you will see the front panel of the smartphone, which is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. As we mentioned earlier, the screen is curved and it makes the device look all the more premium. The bezels that surround it are really thin, and even the chin at the bottom is only marginally broader, making it ideal for anyone who loves to watch shows and movies on their smartphone. The screen of the smartphone also has a punch-hole camera on the top left and there is an on-screen fingerprint scanner embedded towards the bottom.
Speaking about the screen of the device, Oppo Reno 6 Pro comes with a 6.5-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display that has a refresh rate of 90Hz and a touch sampling rate of 180Hz. The display of the smartphone also comes with HDR10+ playback certification. We think that the display of Oppo Reno 6 Pro is another positive point of the smartphone, even though the company hasn’t upgraded the specifications from that of the predecessor of the device. But nevertheless, it performed well during our time with the handset. The display is bright and vibrant, and the colours showcased were accurate and remained consistent at different viewing angles. The sunlight readability was good too, and the images appeared sharp and clear at all times. Playing games and watching Netflix shows on the handset was a delightful experience thanks to the screen.
In a nutshell, we would say that the design and display of Oppo Reno 6 Pro will certainly not disappoint you. If looks matter to you when buying a phone, you would be happy with Oppo’s latest offering. The display could have been upgraded, but even then, we can’t complain about its performance. The phone could also include a stereo speaker at this price, it would have made a great addition to a package that’s already good.
Oppo Reno 6 Pro review: Performance and cameras
Before we start talking about the performance of Oppo Reno 6 Pro, let’s take a minute to discuss the rest of its specifications. The smartphone is powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor clubbed with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The handset houses a 4,500mAh battery and supports 65W fast charging. The device runs ColorOS 11.3 that gets with itself some customizations like always-on display, really cool animated wallpapers, a dedicated gaming mode, and more. There are some pre-installed apps on Oppo Reno 6 Pro including Soloop, Snapchat, Facebook, Josh, Hey Fun, Moj, et al. While most of them can be uninstalled, you’ll have to live with Hot Apps and a few other apps from Oppo’s family. This is a downside as some of them really spammed us with notifications during our time with the phone, and we didn’t really expect this from a device that is this expensive.
Finally, coming to the performance of Oppo Reno 6 Pro, we think that it did an excellent job. The smartphone could handle even heavy multitasking like streaming episodes from Netflix and navigation simultaneously (we weren’t driving ourselves of course!). Everyday tasks were an absolute cakewalk for it, but that’s what we expected from such a high-end phone. The biometric scanners of the device worked very smoothly and were very quick. The on-screen fingerprint scanner as well as the facial unlock didn’t disappoint us even once – not even when our finger was sweaty or when we tried unlocking our phone in dimly lit areas.
Gaming was another good experience on Oppo Reno 6 Pro and we are impressed by the fact that the device doesn’t heat up even after we stayed glued to the phone for playing games for long. We tried an array of games on the smartphone ranging from Temple Run 2 to heavy-graphic ones like Asphalt 9: Legends, and they all ran well. The battery life of Oppo Reno 6 Pro is quite long-lasting and even with usage involving two active Instagram accounts, gaming, watching Netflix shows and listening to Spotify pretty obsessively, the battery lasted for more than a day. Even when the battery falls below 20%, it lasts for quite a while. What’s even better is that it charges almost completely in about 30 minutes.
Finally, let’s talk about the cameras of the smartphone. Oppo Reno 6 Pro comes with a 64MP primary lens, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro sensor and a 2MP monochrome sensor. It also has a 32MP camera on the front panel for selfies and video calls.
Clicked from the primary camera
During our time with the smartphone, the cameras performed well most of the times. During the day or in well-lit conditions, most of the images we took turned out to be great. They had accurate colours, were aptly bright and had plenty of details. But this is just the primary camera. Once you switch to the ultra-wide lens, you will see fewer details and a slight difference in colours. So, you must choose between near-perfect photos or capturing more area in your images.
Clicked from the ultra-wide camera
At night, however, things change a bit. We observed some noise in images — even the ones clicked from the primary lens. However, we wouldn’t really count it as a downside as the moment we switched to Night Mode, the problem was instantly fixed. In fact, with the Night Mode enabled, we managed to click some really nice pictures in dimly lit areas with colour accuracy and image quality intact. The macro and the monochrome lenses on the device performed well too.
We should mention that the cameras on the device come without optical stabilization, which is a downside at this price point. The upside of the cameras is the Bokeh Flare Portrait filter. As the name suggests, it adds Bokeh effect to your videos even when the subject is moving. We tried to use it and it gave us some good results. There is another fun mode on the camera called AI Color Portrait filter using which you can click images with a monochrome background around the subject.
Night Mode enabled
The selfie camera did a great job during the day as well as at night. It comes with an option called ‘Retouch’ which, as the name suggests, completely eliminates the need for make-up. You can smoothen out your skin, make your cheeks or nose thinner, eyes bigger, chin more pointed, and even touch up your make-up with this option before you click your selfie. Trust us, it can make you look exactly how you wish to look like. And if you, like us, prefer more natural-looking pictures, all you have to do is disable the Retouch.
Verdict
At Rs 39,990, Oppo Reno 6 Pro is certainly a good buy. The smartphone has a beautiful design, smooth performance, and a lasting battery. The cameras are great too and the biometric locks work excellently. There are a few features that are missing in the phone like a stereo speaker and optical stabilization in cameras, but we think a lot of people can live without those.
Although the display is a delight, at this price point we did expect it to be upgraded from the phone’s predecessor. Honestly, had the smartphone been slightly less expensive, we wouldn’t have even expected all of this, and definitely wouldn’t be counting these as features that the phone lacks. The bloatware apps and spammy notifications are the only real con of the device. But even then, the overall package is so good that we have to say that Oppo Reno 6 Pro would not disappoint you.

Advancements in technology are moving forward faster than ever before. The pandemic, global warming, healthcare, and many other sectors have contributed to the technologies we are all experiencing today.
The objective is to hit the jackpot with a new piece of tech, and these recent trends and developments are most certainly leading the way.
In This Article
Online Learning
One sector that has exploded since the start of the pandemic is that of online learning. While we are all familiar with the idea of doing short courses online, universities had to adapt to teaching students remotely.
This has led to the development of infrastructures that make this more accessible and has shown that no matter where you are in the world, you can join a virtual classroom simply by having an internet connection.
Artificial Eyes
While bionic eyes might sound like something out of Star Trek, many scientists and researchers are already quite deep into bringing this tech to market. Earlier this year, a team of Israeli surgeons implanted the world’s first artificial cornea into the eye of a bilaterally-blind man; after his bandages were removed, he could see relatively clearly.
There are also trials ongoing in Australia, where the patient will wear glasses fitted with a camera. This data will then be sent directly to an implant which will send information to the brain, giving the wearer a basic sense of sight.
Lab-Made Dairy Products
We have all become familiar with lab-grown beef, but the technology is now being extended to create lab-grown dairy products. The dairy industry is far from environmentally friendly, accounting for 4% of all carbon emissions in the world.
What is quite strange is that lab-grown milk is easier to create than lab-grown meat. T, soy, and oat milk are available but are more challenging to sell since they don’t have the same taste and texture as regular milk. This is the next step for scientists, to recreate the taste and texture of milk, but with none of the dairy.
Smart Sutures
Medicine as a whole has come on in leaps and bounds since the start of the pandemic, but one area that has seen a surprising advancement is that of sutures. A student has created sutures that change colour from bright red to deep purple when an infection is present.
Considering an infection can be pretty tricky to spot sometimes and, in some cases, fatal if not dealt with quickly, this simple yet effective solution will allow patients to know when to seek medical advice and possibly save their own life.
Energy Storing Bricks
Researchers in Missouri are currently testing the viability of energy-storing bricks. These bricks are the regular chip clay bricks with which so many houses are built but can store massive amounts of energy.
The technology is still in the proof-of-concept stage. However, this could revolutionize sustainable housing and allow residents to rely less on the power grid and use fewer resources to power homes.
Artificial Intelligence
AI is making waves in almost every sector. From medicine to cyber-security, AI is helping people to learn quicker and find problems faster. It can implement solutions more quickly than any human.
AI is being heavily used in the banking world as of late. Considering financial institutions have to defend themselves from hundreds, sometimes thousands of hacking attempts a day, proper security is needed. AI is being used to identify new viruses, fight them off, and stop future attacks.
Internet for Everyone
Google and Hiber are currently leading the charge to get the internet into every single home on the planet. Google’s approach involves launching large helium balloons that transmit an internet connection to a tower that can be accessed.
Hiber’s solution is slightly different. They are launching shoebox-sized satellites into low orbit, which then orbit the Earth sixteen times a day. These will connect to a modem plugged into your computer and transmit data as they fly over your home.
Considering the world is already heavily reliant on the internet, it will surprise many people to know that only half the world has a permanent internet connection. While this is largely down to socio-economic issues, these companies want to connect the world, so everyone can succeed using the web.
Tactile Virtual Reality
While VR has been around for a while now, it cannot feed your sense of touch or smell. However, scientists at Northwestern University have designed small nodes that vibrate, recreating the sense of touch while you are in a VR world.
This type of technology can be used to feel hits while playing a video game or simulate the feeling of rain falling on your skin. It is also hoped that this technology can be used with amputee patients to mimic their sense of touch.
As you can see, the world of technology is heading in a direction that we only thought was possible in sci-fi movies. However, while many of these technologies are still in their early stages, it is exciting to see what is becoming possible to achieve in our lifetimes.

The Chinese premium smartphone company, OnePlus, will be ending its tradition of launching the OnePlus T Series smartphone. Around this time of the year, the company usually launches an upgrade to its latest flagship devices. But now the company has confirmed that this year it will not be going with the launch of the OnePlus 9T nor the OnePlus 9T Pro. Also, the company has announced to merge OxygenOS and ColorOS skins into a new unified operating system.The merger between the BBK-owned companies OnePlus and Oppo was announced earlier this year. Now, OnePlus head Pete Lau via a forum post has revealed it will be combining their custom OxygenOS and ColorOS skins into a new unified operating system. The integration of OxygenOS 12 and ColorOS 12 will provide increased resources and create better products, and a better experience, for their user. The head believes that with the integration OnePlus has entered the OnePlus 2.0 phase. “After careful consideration, we have decided to integrate the OxygenOS and ColorOS teams to plan the future software experience together.@Gary C., Head of OxygenOS whom a lot of you have known for many years, is now also overseeing the global unified operating system.”Lau said that with the codebase integration, OxygenOS 12 build quality has been improving and software updates are becoming more timely. And more broadly speaking, over time we have seen that the two operating systems have been gradually converging in terms of the fundamental user experience. This will create the best possible product experience for users with more resources as a larger and more integrated organization.The OnePlus and Oppo aims to focus on one unified operating system and strengthen them by collaborating OxygenOS and ColorOS skins. Nevertheless, this company promised to keep the DNA of OxygenOS and provide an upgraded experience. Also it will customize the unified OS specifically for OnePlus devices for instance by keeping it as clean and lightweight as before and continuing to support unlock bootloaders.For the global OnePlus devices the new unified operating system will be shipped to OnePlus next flagship series in 2022. The integration will be fully completed together with the next major Android update in 2022. The company will be sharing more about when specific devices will receive the new OS at a later date.This clearly hints at the fact that there won’t be a OnePlus 9T, OnePlus 9T Pro this year. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has also stated, “This year we will not be launching a T-series product.”

This is the third year for a lot of Samsung smartphones. You might have checked out our review of the third iteration of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and now it is the turn of Samsung Galaxy Flip 3. We spent over 2 weeks with the smartphone to know it inside out. Did this smartphone flip us over? Read the rest of the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 review to know more.

Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 review: Design and display
To be honest, we did quite like the last two versions of the Galaxy Z Flip series by Samsung, even though they had a few chinks in the armour. We have been fans of flip phones since its feature phone inception in the nineties by makers like SONY and Motorola. And now with folding smartphones, our excitement level always hits the roof when we get the news of a new flip/folding smartphone coming.
Out of the box, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is what we were looking for in the last two versions. A super sturdy body and a larger secondary touchscreen on the outside. It has both. So, let’s start with the exteriors first. The users get a 1.9-inch display outside that has a resolution of 260 x 512 pixels. This one is a Super AMOLED touchscreen. Samsung has added a few widgets like a sound recorder and timer to it, and a few more can be added via the widget’s menu.
When slammed shut the outside display will show the time. It will also light up when you get a phone call or a notification. Both the outside panels are made of metal (that does not attract too many fingerprints) and the spine also has a stronger metal with Samsung branding on it. With the external screen, users also get dual cameras as well as an LED flash on the outside.
Flip it open and you are greeted by a large 6.7-inch FHD+ dynamic AMOED display. This one is a 120Hz display that sports HDR10+ and 1,200 nits of peak brightness. The screen to body ratio is about 89%. Yes, the screen here is not fully edge to edge, as the folding screen needs to be held tightly within a good frame. Nonetheless, it looks extremely beautiful. Here you will also find a screen protector with a selfie camera in a cutout on top.
Talking a bit more about other physical attributes, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 has a power button on the right side that doubles up as the fingerprint sensor, too. Nine out of ten times the sensors registered the fingerprint and opened the phone for us. So it is quite precise. Above it, the users gets a volume rocker key. While the SIM tray is placed on the left and the loudspeaker grille as well as USB Type-C charging port can be found at the bottom. Users also get a couple of MICS on the device, too.
Our time with the screen was filled with delight. There is a dig in the middle part of the smartphone, which now we were used to as after all the smartphone is a foldable one. However, that does not hinder the viewing experience. The experience is seamless, and we loved watching Netflix shows and playing games on it. The screen does not wash out under direct sunlight, and you get to see vibrant colours, deep blacks, and crisp text no matter how harsh or low the light is. It truly gives you a premium smartphone experience.
Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 review: Performance and cameras
Coming to its under the hood machinery, Samsung has given the absolute latest. The Samsung Flip 3 walks in proudly with Snapdragon 888 chipset by Qualcomm. This has an Octa-Core CPU with a max clock speed of 2.84GHz. The graphics are rendered by Adreno 660. When it comes to RAM and storage, there are two options available. 8GB RAM with 128GB storage and 8GB RAM with 256GB storage. Both storage variants support UFS 3.1 for better performance.
For battery, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 comes with a 3,300 mAh battery that can be charged at 15W or wirelessly charges at 10W. A reverse charging facility is also there. During our test, the battery lasted for 22 hours under nominal use and dropped down to 17.5 hours under heavy use. This included a lot of phone calls, 1 hour of gaming and a lot of social media browsing.
The operating system on the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 is Android 11 with Samsung UI 3.1 on top. The experience here is extremely good. Not once did we feel that we are not in control of things. The scroll and swipe experience is top-notch thanks to the 120Hz display and with the inclusion of the app drawer, everything seemed to be in place. The bloatware is minimal and whatever extra you get can be easily removed.
We played games like Asphalt 9: Legends and BGMI on the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 and the results were spectacular. There were no frame drops (even at high settings) and the device did not get warm for the first 30 minutes. Yes, if you see the smartphone from an angle of over 15 degrees you can see the screen gibe but upfront there is no hindrance. As said, the experience is seamless.
Moving to its cameras, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 sports two 12 MP cameras at the back. One is wide and the other one is ultrawide. Both the rear cameras are extremely capable and provide superb images in daylight or bright light. Here the details are very good and one can find intricate details in the shots. In low light, both cameras do well too.
However, for night shots we would suggest turn on the night mode. With it, the results become much better, though it does take a second or two extra to click the picture, but the wait is worth it. There are plenty of modes if you are a photography lover within the native app and PRO modes for images and videos give you a lot of control.
4K videos can be shot at 60FPS, but here optical stabilisation is missing. When the phone is slam shut, users can also quickly access the rear camera by double-pressing the power button. And by using the volume key you can use the outside screen to click a quick selfie image.
Talking about which, the inside selfie camera is no less. The Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 sports a 10MP selfie camera. We loved the results with it. We extracted some superb selfies with it and were very happy with how the colours are very close to life in the clicked images. But for even better selfies you can always shut it and use the external screen and cameras. Videos with the internal cam can be shot in 4K at 30FPS, which have decent details and colours, but we do like the one shot from the 12MP ones better.
Another great feature of the cams is the half and half mode. You can just fold the screen to 90 degrees and keep the smartphone on a table or flat surface to shoot a stable image or video, without the need of a tripod. This is something vloggers would love. Over that, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 comes with IPX8 rating, which means it is water-resistant. If you end up spilling your cold coffee on it, just wipe it off and the phone will still run properly. Features like Wi-Fi 6, 5G and Bluetooth 5.1 are incorporated in this smartphone.
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is available in a lot of colour options like lavender, green, white, pink and the one we are using black. The smartphone has a price of Rs 84,999, which we think is a great price to pick up the latest folding smartphone that does get you a lot of attention. Whether its Knox security for your documents, files and folders, or a night out clicking spree with the boys and girls, this smartphone has something for everyone.

Xiaomi is one of the most popular smartphone brands in the world and has leading sales in India. This is mainly possible due to the company offering good specifications at lower prices. The reason why the company is able to give such good specifications at lower prices is by generating revenue with targeted ads. With the update to MIUI 10, the company allowed users to manually remove these targeted ads from the smartphone. There is not one simple button to stop them but has to follow a bunch of steps. Here is how to remove Ads in any Xiaomi or Redmi device.
In This Article
Revoke MSA authorization
This is the first step of disabling ads. MSA stands for MIUI system ads and by the name, we can know it will be a building block of this journey. As it is a system app thus it’s not available on the home screen. Go to Setting>Password and Security>Authorization and Revocation. After finding this scroll down to the toggle off button next to the MSA option. By disabling it, Xiaomi now won’t have permission to display ads in the MIUI system application.

Disable Ads for GetApps
On the same “Authorization and Revocation section” find GetApps. After finding it toggle off the button next to it as well. This option will stop all the annoying apps from the MIUI application store. There is nothing to worry about if you are an active user of the application store as it will just stop the ads and you will still be able to use it.
Stop targeted ads
This step is not to remove ads but to not allow the company to fetch your personal data and play ads according to recommendations. In order to toggle it off, one needs to go to Settings > Password and Security > Privacy > Ad Services and Toggle off Personalized ad recommendations.Read Also: Instagram rolling out Guides features for all the users
Default Applications
MSA removes most of the ads from the MIUI but there still are few default applications by the company’s showing ad recommendations and here is how you can shut each one of them.
Mi Security Scan
Xiaomi and Redmi devices perform a security scan before allowing users to run it from Google Play Store. Head to the Play Store and tap on any random trusted application. As soon as the scan starts, tap on the cogwheel displayed on the top right corner of the screen. Search for the “Receive Recommendation” setting and toggle it off.
Mi Security App
MIUI has a built-in security application to perform scans and it also optimises the smartphone’s performance but it has inbuilt ads as well. It’s simple to disable them by opening the app and tapping on the cogwheel on the top right corner. Make sure you follow the same steps for cleaner and booster as well on the same application.
Mi File Manager
The file manager has a hidden option to remove ads from it. Open the application and go to the file manager settings. In the setting tap on the About section. In it will be an option for Recommendations, toggle it off.
Mi Browser
After so many security issues Xiaomi worked hard to make it better but it still has personalised ads and it’s easy to switch them off. Open the browser and head to browser settings > Privacy & security > Disable the personalized services.
Mi Downloads
This is the most common application that gets on people’s nerves. One can disable ads simply by going to settings and disable “Show Recommended Content”.
Mi Themes
Many users like to customise their smartphones which the company surely allows but offers a lot of ads in return. Here is how you can stop these ads. Open the themes application then tap on profile in the bottom right corner of the screen. Search for the setting option and disable recommendations.
Mi Music

The right edge of the smartphone has the Power button sandwiched on it while the volume rocker keys are on the left. The SIM tray, USB Type-C port, speaker and microphone are at the bottom while the secondary microphone is at the top. We could reach the keys easily at all times and one-handed usage was no problem at all. Another great thing about the device is its weight. It’s very refreshing to see a smartphone with a display and battery like Oppo Reno 6 Pro weigh just 177 grams.
Flip over and you will see the front panel of the smartphone, which is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. As we mentioned earlier, the screen is curved and it makes the device look all the more premium. The bezels that surround it are really thin, and even the chin at the bottom is only marginally broader, making it ideal for anyone who loves to watch shows and movies on their smartphone. The screen of the smartphone also has a punch-hole camera on the top left and there is an on-screen fingerprint scanner embedded towards the bottom.
Speaking about the screen of the device, Oppo Reno 6 Pro comes with a 6.5-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display that has a refresh rate of 90Hz and a touch sampling rate of 180Hz. The display of the smartphone also comes with HDR10+ playback certification. We think that the display of Oppo Reno 6 Pro is another positive point of the smartphone, even though the company hasn’t upgraded the specifications from that of the predecessor of the device. But nevertheless, it performed well during our time with the handset. The display is bright and vibrant, and the colours showcased were accurate and remained consistent at different viewing angles. The sunlight readability was good too, and the images appeared sharp and clear at all times. Playing games and watching Netflix shows on the handset was a delightful experience thanks to the screen.
In a nutshell, we would say that the design and display of Oppo Reno 6 Pro will certainly not disappoint you. If looks matter to you when buying a phone, you would be happy with Oppo’s latest offering. The display could have been upgraded, but even then, we can’t complain about its performance. The phone could also include a stereo speaker at this price, it would have made a great addition to a package that’s already good.
Finally, coming to the performance of Oppo Reno 6 Pro, we think that it did an excellent job. The smartphone could handle even heavy multitasking like streaming episodes from Netflix and navigation simultaneously (we weren’t driving ourselves of course!). Everyday tasks were an absolute cakewalk for it, but that’s what we expected from such a high-end phone. The biometric scanners of the device worked very smoothly and were very quick. The on-screen fingerprint scanner as well as the facial unlock didn’t disappoint us even once – not even when our finger was sweaty or when we tried unlocking our phone in dimly lit areas.
Gaming was another good experience on Oppo Reno 6 Pro and we are impressed by the fact that the device doesn’t heat up even after we stayed glued to the phone for playing games for long. We tried an array of games on the smartphone ranging from Temple Run 2 to heavy-graphic ones like Asphalt 9: Legends, and they all ran well. The battery life of Oppo Reno 6 Pro is quite long-lasting and even with usage involving two active Instagram accounts, gaming, watching Netflix shows and listening to Spotify pretty obsessively, the battery lasted for more than a day. Even when the battery falls below 20%, it lasts for quite a while. What’s even better is that it charges almost completely in about 30 minutes.
Finally, let’s talk about the cameras of the smartphone. Oppo Reno 6 Pro comes with a 64MP primary lens, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro sensor and a 2MP monochrome sensor. It also has a 32MP camera on the front panel for selfies and video calls.
We should mention that the cameras on the device come without optical stabilization, which is a downside at this price point. The upside of the cameras is the Bokeh Flare Portrait filter. As the name suggests, it adds Bokeh effect to your videos even when the subject is moving. We tried to use it and it gave us some good results. There is another fun mode on the camera called AI Color Portrait filter using which you can click images with a monochrome background around the subject.

Google and Hiber are currently leading the charge to get the internet into every single home on the planet. Google’s approach involves launching large helium balloons that transmit an internet connection to a tower that can be accessed.
Hiber’s solution is slightly different. They are launching shoebox-sized satellites into low orbit, which then orbit the Earth sixteen times a day. These will connect to a modem plugged into your computer and transmit data as they fly over your home.
Considering the world is already heavily reliant on the internet, it will surprise many people to know that only half the world has a permanent internet connection. While this is largely down to socio-economic issues, these companies want to connect the world, so everyone can succeed using the web.

Lau said that with the codebase integration, OxygenOS 12 build quality has been improving and software updates are becoming more timely.

The OnePlus and Oppo aims to focus on one unified operating system and strengthen them by collaborating OxygenOS and ColorOS skins.

Out of the box, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is what we were looking for in the last two versions. A super sturdy body and a larger secondary touchscreen on the outside. It has both. So, let’s start with the exteriors first. The users get a 1.9-inch display outside that has a resolution of 260 x 512 pixels. This one is a Super AMOLED touchscreen. Samsung has added a few widgets like a sound recorder and timer to it, and a few more can be added via the widget’s menu.
When slammed shut the outside display will show the time. It will also light up when you get a phone call or a notification. Both the outside panels are made of metal (that does not attract too many fingerprints) and the spine also has a stronger metal with Samsung branding on it. With the external screen, users also get dual cameras as well as an LED flash on the outside.
Flip it open and you are greeted by a large 6.7-inch FHD+ dynamic AMOED display. This one is a 120Hz display that sports HDR10+ and 1,200 nits of peak brightness. The screen to body ratio is about 89%. Yes, the screen here is not fully edge to edge, as the folding screen needs to be held tightly within a good frame. Nonetheless, it looks extremely beautiful. Here you will also find a screen protector with a selfie camera in a cutout on top.
Talking a bit more about other physical attributes, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 has a power button on the right side that doubles up as the fingerprint sensor, too. Nine out of ten times the sensors registered the fingerprint and opened the phone for us. So it is quite precise. Above it, the users gets a volume rocker key. While the SIM tray is placed on the left and the loudspeaker grille as well as USB Type-C charging port can be found at the bottom. Users also get a couple of MICS on the device, too.
Our time with the screen was filled with delight. There is a dig in the middle part of the smartphone, which now we were used to as after all the smartphone is a foldable one. However, that does not hinder the viewing experience. The experience is seamless, and we loved watching Netflix shows and playing games on it. The screen does not wash out under direct sunlight, and you get to see vibrant colours, deep blacks, and crisp text no matter how harsh or low the light is. It truly gives you a premium smartphone experience.
However, for night shots we would suggest turn on the night mode. With it, the results become much better, though it does take a second or two extra to click the picture, but the wait is worth it. There are plenty of modes if you are a photography lover within the native app and PRO modes for images and videos give you a lot of control.
4K videos can be shot at 60FPS, but here optical stabilisation is missing. When the phone is slam shut, users can also quickly access the rear camera by double-pressing the power button. And by using the volume key you can use the outside screen to click a quick selfie image.
Talking about which, the inside selfie camera is no less. The Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 sports a 10MP selfie camera. We loved the results with it. We extracted some superb selfies with it and were very happy with how the colours are very close to life in the clicked images. But for even better selfies you can always shut it and use the external screen and cameras. Videos with the internal cam can be shot in 4K at 30FPS, which have decent details and colours, but we do like the one shot from the 12MP ones better.
Another great feature of the cams is the half and half mode. You can just fold the screen to 90 degrees and keep the smartphone on a table or flat surface to shoot a stable image or video, without the need of a tripod. This is something vloggers would love. Over that, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 comes with IPX8 rating, which means it is water-resistant. If you end up spilling your cold coffee on it, just wipe it off and the phone will still run properly. Features like Wi-Fi 6, 5G and Bluetooth 5.1 are incorporated in this smartphone.
On the other hand, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition comes with an additional auto-adjusting front light that automatically adjusts the brightness of the display based on the lighting around you so you can comfortably read in all conditions.
The devices come with improved battery life therefore they offer 10 weeks of battery life. With a 10W charger it takes 2.5 hours to completely charge them. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition features wireless charging and can be used with any compatible Qi wireless charger (sold separately).
The new generation of Kindle includes IPx8 rating and is designed to withstand accidental drops in the bathtub, hot tub, pool, and ocean. Besides this, both the devices come with Whispersync and Whispersync for Voice that saves and synchronizes your last page read, bookmarks, and annotations from your Kindle eBooks across all of your Kindle devices and apps, so you can pick up where you left off on any device.
The book covers allow you to see the cover of the book you are currently reading on the lock screen of select Kindle devices, too. Wordwise offers short, simple definitions that automatically appear above difficult words and the Accessibility option lets you access devices and reading applications which work with assistive technology, features that support a variety of reading needs, tools that enable anyone to become a Kindle author, and more than 12 million screen reader supported books.
The new Kindle Paperwhite models come with instant access to the Kindle Store. The Massive selection offers millions of books, comics and magazines, including the latest best sellers. Whereas Kindle unlimited brings unlimited access to an ever-growing selection of over two million eBooks. Additionally, Prime members can read from a rotating selection of thousands of books, magazines, and more—at no additional cost towards your Prime membership.
