Instagram new security check feature rolled out for accounts that may have been hacked 

Instagram is rolling out a new security feature on its platform namely Security Check. This feature is being brought for the accounts that were hacked in the past. According to the company, this privacy feature will make the Instagram account more secure by guiding users whose accounts may have been hacked, through the steps needed to secure them. This includes checking login activity, reviewing profile information, confirming the accounts that share login information and updating account recovery contact information such as phone number or email. Facebook-owned social media app Instagram via blog post said, “Security Checkup is another way that we are working to keep Instagram accounts as secure as we can. But there are several other steps that we recommend everyone also take to make their account even more secure”. The photo-sharing app has shared some steps that will make the Instagram account more secure. The first step is the two-factor authentication, the users are strongly recommended to enable the TFA  using WhatsApp in certain countries. Besides this, the users can also enable TFA using their phone number, or an authenticator app like Duo Mobile or Google Authentication.  Instagram has also detailed that people should update their phone number associated with your device by doing this if something happens to your account you can be easily reached by the company. These steps let you recover your account even if your info has been changed by a hacker. Instagram also stated that it never DMs any of its users.  “Over the past few months, we’ve seen a rise in malicious accounts DMing people to try and access sensitive information like account passwords. They may tell you that your account is at risk of being banned, that you are violating our policies around intellectual property, or that your photos are being shared elsewhere. These messages are often scams and violate our policies. Instagram will never send you a DM.” Whenever the company comes across these kinds of scams it immediately takes action against them and has sent notices at the top of people’s Inbox to warn them about these messages over the past 2 months. Although the users are encouraged to report the content and block the account. As per the blog post, the company will reach you via the ‘Emails from Instagram’ tab in your settings, which is the only place you will find direct and authentic communication from Instagram on the app. The app users can also report individual pieces of content by tapping the three dots above a post, holding on to a message, or by visiting an account and reporting directly from the profile. In addition to this, you can also enable login requests so that when someone tries to log in to your account from an unrecognised device or web browser the company will be able to notify by providing the details of which device tried logging in and where it’s located. So you can further approve or deny the request immediately from your already logged-in devices.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Asus AIO 241e review: A good companion when working from home

0
The pandemic has revived many ailing fields and opportunities. One such segment that saw great growth is of laptops and desktops. This is why companies like Asus also introduced all in one desktop machines like Asus AIO 241e. We spent some time with the desktop PC to understand what it is all about. This is Asus AIO 241e review you should not miss if you are looking to buy a new PC.

Asus AIO 241e review: Design and Display

Out of the box, the Asus AIO 241e screams for attention. The gold outlook is very modern and premium. However, the edge to edge 24-inch display without any bezel is what takes the cake away. The front bottom has a golden panel, which has an HD camera, a couple of MICs and speakers. Turn it around and you will find a flurry of USB 3.1 ports, HDMI in and HDMI our ports along with an Ethernet port. The power button can also be seen here on the right side. The bottom also has a mode switch (which can switch modes from PC to a set-top box or gaming console), a 3.5 mm audio port as well as an additional USB port, in case you want to connect a pen drive. With the Asus AIO 241e, the users get full QWERTY with NUM pad wireless keyboard and mouse. They run on dual triple-A and single double-A batteries. Both work well for daily use, but in case you want to game, then you would want a better keyboard and mouse. The golden metal stands ads to the show on the AIO and with the golden keyboard and mouse, it just looks fantabulous. Coming to the display, we went gaga over it. Asus AIO 241e comes with an anti-glare FHD LED display that can protrude sharp imagery and vivid colours. It has a 16:9 aspect ratio and 250 nits of peak brightness. We played a lot of Netflix videos as well and YouTube content and the AIO did not disappoint us. The sound compliments the display perfectly in the form of 3W x 2 speakers.

Asus AIO 241e review: Performance

When it comes to the technical specifications of the Asus AIO 241e AIO, the PC has an Intel Core i5 11th Gen CPU with a clock speed up to 2.4 GHz. The machine also comes with 8 GB RAM, 256GB SSD (PCIe), 1TB HDD and an onboard graphics unit. Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 built on Windows 10 Pro are also there. Overall, we found the Asus AIO 241e to be quite good. We played games like DOTA 2 and CS: Go on it and both ran between 60-90FPS with ease on high settings. There is almost no bloatware and Asus has done a good job to optimise this AIO. The best part about this AIO is that you can connect an external device such as the Xbox or the PlayStation and play games using its large screen. A 90W power adaptor comes in the box and that is the amount of energy this AIO consumes. Which when compared to a regular desktop is much less. The keyboard and wireless mouse work well and we had no problems with them for regular office use. We did a few office meetings on the Asus AIO 241e, too, and the results here were desirable too. All in all, a good machine for office or entertainment needs.

Verdict

Asus has done a very good job in designing the Asus AIO 241e. We loved the golden look and feel. The machine is quick, loads applications and software swiftly and there is hardly any lag. At Rs 64,990 the machine can very well be your next buy if you are in the market looking for a desktop PC that will cater to your office needs, but not consume a lot of power. The only thing that can be better here is if the RAM was 16GB in the same price bracket.

Pros:

Good looks Decent price Compact in size

Cons:

RAM a bit less No dedicated graphics card For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel. You can also stay up to date using the Gadget Bridge Android App.

Mi 11X Pro Review: The best value for money device out there

0
Xiaomi 2021 lineup includes semi-flagship, mid-range and budget smartphones. To take on the OnePlus and Samsung flagship series Xiaomi introduced its Mi 11X series that has three devices: the vanilla 11X, Mi 11X Pro and the recently launched Mi 11X Lite. The company’s Mi 11X Pro comes under the premium and semi-flagship territory that will go after the OnePlus 9 Series and Samsung Galaxy S21 series. For its affordable price range, which starts at Rs 39,990, let’s find out in our review whether the device is a true value for money or not. Ok now let’s get on with our Mi 11X Pro review.

Mi 11X Pro Design and Display

Starting with the design of the Mi 11X Pro, it comes with an excellent overall design. However, the device is quite identical to the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. Yet this flagship mid-range phone looks more premium and ergonomic and does not have any sharp edges like some of the other devices in the category. Over that, it is thinner too, probably because of its battery.  Mi 11X Pro Design and Display The camera layout is a bit different, which you can see here. It gets a quad-camera module and as you can see there is a very thin silver ring around the primary lens, which looks appealing. We have got the celestial Silver for the review but you can choose from Cosmic Black and Frosty White colour variants. The colour variant that we have got is our personal favourite and it looks stunning. The reflective back changes its hues from silver to blue and blue to pink depending on its position, which gives a prism-like effect refracting the light off the back panel.  The mobile phone is covered in Gorilla Glass 5, from front to back, however, the side is still made out of plastic. Though the phone is resistant to scratches, we would recommend you to put on a silicon cover because whatever protection it has, after all the back panel is of glass. It may break when falling from a certain height so the cover will be an extra shield (that comes inside the box).  Mi 11X Pro Design and Display The power button on the right side of the frame also acts as a fingerprint sensor, is easy to reach and works swiftly. Just above the fingerprint sensor, there is a volume rocker button too. There is no button or slot on the other side. There is no MicroSD card slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack, but Xiaomi provides a 3.5mm jack to Type C dongle inside the box so you can easily plug in your headphones. The stereo speaker is given on the top as well as the bottom and an IR emitter is placed in one of the speaker grills on the top to control your TV, Set Top Box from the phone itself.  At the bottom frame a SIM Tray, a USB Type-C port and a primary microphone is given. On the front, the bezels are slim and have a very small camera hole to play house to the selfie camera is placed, which will be less distracting. All in all, the design of the device gives a premium feel. The display is the best thing about the Mi 11X Pro. It has a 6.67-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED display with 1,080×2,400 pixels of resolution. It also offers a 120Hz refresh rate panel, 1,300 nits of peak brightness, 360Hz touch sampling rate and 20:9 aspect ratio. The smartphone also has support for HDR10, which is great for content viewing. On the spec sheet, the specifications look similar to Redmi Note 10 Pro Max but in reality, the display is just superior to the other Redmi smartphone.  Mi 11X Pro Review Mi 11X Pro delivers better colour reproduction, better viewing angles, but we have also realised that its touch responses are good too, thanks to the 360Hz touch sampling rate. Like we have noticed some jitters and lags in the Note 10 Pro Max 120Hz SAMOLED display, but here on the Mi 11X Pro we experienced no such issue as it is powered by a Snapdragon 888 chipset. Overall, a lovely display for all kinds of needs. 

Mi 11X Pro Performance and Cameras 

Now coming to the performance, Mi 11X Pro takes its power from a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, which is already seen on some of the flagship devices by Samsung, Asus and OnePlus. It has been paired with Adreno 660 GPU and comes with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. We got our hands on the 8GB RAM with a 128GB storage variant.  Also, you will notice how fast the apps open while multitasking. Given the hardware, even the most demanding game titles run effortlessly. You will also feel a noticeable change when shifting from a mid-range phone to this device, unlocking great gaming performance. Call of Duty: Mobile can be cranked up to the highest of settings in favour of better details, which is great.  Mi 11X Pro Review The phone does get slightly warm at the back when playing for long, which is not an issue. Paired with good haptics and an excellent pair of hybrid stereo speakers the smartphone is awesome. Also, the RAM management is good, which was a big issue with few otherRedmi phones. It did not reload any of the apps running in the background when we reopened it after 10 or 15 minutes. Scrolling through applications, switching between them, browsing the internet and social media apps is extremely smooth.  The device runs MIUI 12 on top of Android 11. Here too, we saw the ads running on the locked screen and were also spammed with unnecessary notifications, which is not expected in a premium smartphone. The battery life is also decent on the Mi 11X Pro. The 4,520mAh battery will easily provide you with a day’s worth of endurance when used moderately. The device also charges pretty fast as the company has provided a 33W fast charger, which takes about an hour or less to get from zero to 100 percent. The speakers on the phone are loud and deliver a good dynamic range as well as immersive audio powered by Dolby Atmos. Review of Mi 11X Pro Moving ahead, the triple camera set up on the MI 11X Pro is the biggest highlight of this phone. Here it has a 108-megapixel Samsung HM2 sensor with an f/1.75 aperture accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 5-megapixel macro sensor. On the front, there is a 20-megapixel selfie camera. Personally speaking, the 108-megapixel primary lens does offer quality during the daytime. However, the device clicks a bit of saturated images outdoors. We also tried to capture some shots in standard mode as well, which came out as per our liking portrait mode shots produced are stunning with a good amount of details and edge detection on point. But sometimes you don’t get good subject focus, blur and the images look less pleasing. The telemacro lens can catch minor details. So the results are very exhilarating. But sometimes the Tele macro lens struggles to differentiate between the subject and the background and does not lock the focus well. 
Macro Shots
The photos from the Mi 11X Pro do not look under-exposed or dark while the dynamic range is already good.
108-megapixel
Similarly, with the dedicated night mode, you can improve the nighttime pictures as without its support the camera struggles a lot. The selfie shots are good as well. The videography on the phone is decent as the EIS works well. It offers 8K videos @60fps with natural colours as well as a dynamic range under good lighting conditions. However, there is an option of 8K videos at 30fps and 4K as well. Also, the selfie videos look stable and the audio quality is not bad either.

Conclusion

Xiaomi has provided the Mi 11X Pro with a 108-megapixel camera sensor but one has to work a little to get the perfect shot. The autofocus could have been better, however in the case of portraits the subject separation from the background is accurate. Saying that, in some cases, the camera successfully delivers epic image quality, which is worth being framed.  In terms of hardware, the company has not compromised at all when it comes to performance. The overall performance of the phone is excellent, which includes a crisp display, clear audio, IP53 rating, good to decent cameras and gaming. So, all in all, Mi 11X Pro is worth considering and a brilliant contender in the category. 

Pros

  • Impressive design and display
  • Excellent cameras
  • Supports 8K and 4K recording

Cons

  • Lacks support for SD card
  • Gets warm while gaming

Amazfit Bip U Pro review: A fitness smartwatch that won’t burn a hole in your pocket

The Amazfit Bip U Pro smartwatch (priced at Rs 4,999) comes with an array of fitness-focussed features and has support for Amazon’s Alexa assistant. It can track your heart rate, sleep, steps and do a lot more. We spent a few days with the smartwatch and here’s our Amazfit Bip U Pro review detailing on its pros and cons:

Amazfit Bip U Pro review: Design

The Amazfit Bip U Pro smartwatch has a simple and minimalistic design. The smartwatch’s dial is rectangular in shape with rounded corners and it houses the display of the device that has rather thick bezels on all the four sides. The chin, in fact, is thicker than the other three bezels and it has Amazfit branding on it. There is a button on the right edge of the smartwatch that has can perform tasks like waking up the home screen, opening the menu and going back to the previous page. You can also long press it to set a customized task for it. It should be noted that the button can only be pressed and not rotated. On the back, the smartwatch comes with a BioTracker 2 PPG biological optical sensor that is used to measure the heart rate. Amazfit Bip U Pro 5 Amazfit Bip U Pro comes with Black coloured silicone straps and an interlocking buckle which keeps the smartwatch tight on your wrist. Users also get the option of changing the straps of the watch – which we think is a big plus, especially because Amazfit Bip U Pro is a budget device. The smartwatch comes with a sturdy built, but it doesn’t feel too premium. But since it is a budget device, we really cannot complain about this being a problem. In fact, for this price point, we consider the look and feel to be pretty good. We wore the smartwatch around almost a week and it didn’t feel uncomfortable to us during that time. Due to its lightweight, we can easily say that we had no issues wearing the watch round the clock. Even when we wore it while sleeping, it didn’t cause any discomfort. Amazfit Bip U Pro 2 The 1.43-inch TFT LCD display of the smartwatch comes with a resolution of 320×302 pixels and is protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It looked vibrant and all the icons, numbers or stats projected on it were sharp. There are four levels of brightness that you can choose from, but it is worth mentioning that one can’t set auto-brightness on Amazfit Bip U Pro. The sunlight readability of the device was decent too, and in case you face a problem, you can always increase the brightness manually. However, there was one thing that we did miss – always on display. But then, maybe at this price point it’s too much to ask for.

Amazfit Bip U Pro review: Performance

Most aspects of the performance of Amazfit Bip U Pro impressed us. Pairing the smartwatch with our phone was simple. We had to download the Zepp app from Google Play Store and then connect the devices using Bluetooth.  It got connected within seconds and the watch did almost everything really smoothly. The touchscreen was very responsive and we didn’t notice any stutter while we carried out basic functions on the app like checking our heart rate or changing watch faces. Amazfit Bip U Pro 4 The smartwatch can be used for a variety of tasks like counting steps, measuring heart rate, fitness and sleep tracking, et al, and the app on the smartphone has much more detailed information on these stats. For instance, you can only see the number of hours you slept on your smartwatch. But if you access sleep data on the app, you can see exactly how much time and when you were in a deep sleep. If you are a fitness freak, you would particularly love to have this smartwatch because of the sheer number of options that it offers. It has several modes like Outdoor Running, Treadmill, Outdoor Cycling, Indoor Cycling, Walking, Pool Swimming, Rope Skipping, Yoga, Free Exercise, Badminton, Cricket, Dance, and so many more. The smartwatch also offers some specific workout modes like Core Training, Stair climber, Zumba, Thai Boxing, etc. In a nutshell, it doesn’t matter what you choose to stay fit, Amazfit Bip U Pro most likely does have a mode for your kind of workout. We enabled Yoga when we did our workout thrice a week and we were happy with the results that we got from the smartwatch. In the fitness mode, we could see the total time we spent exercising and the calories we burnt during our workout session. There was also a live heart rate counter and a graph of your heart rate. The fitness data on Zepp app is a lot more detailed and it proved to be helpful to us in improving the way we workout. Amazfit Bip U Pro 3 There are also a women-centric feature on the device called Cycles using which, female users can record and manage their menstruation data. While we loved most of the tasks that the smartwatch performed, there was one thing that simply refused to work: The SpO2 monitor. Firstly, it doesn’t work till you tie the watch around your wrist a bit too tightly, and secondly, even then the data seemed inaccurate as it didn’t match with our pulse oxymeter. Another cool feature of the smartwatch is integration with Amazon‘s Alexa. But in order to access the assistant your smartwatch must be connected to your phone and you have to enable it on the app. An active internet connect is also required. Obviously, this is another, particularly given the price range of the device. Another aspect of the smartwatch which we found commendable is its battery life. With usage that involved sleep tracking, active stress and heart rate tracking, and using the device for our workouts, we’re still on 70% on Day 8.

Verdict

At Rs 4,999, Amazfit Bip U Pro is a really good buy and you certainly won’t be disappointed with it. The smartwatch may not be the best to look at, but it is certainly quite a performer! Besides, the sheer number of features – especially fitness focussed features – that it offers at this price point makes it one of the bests in that range.

Now the device has been listed on Flipkart, therefore, revealing the Indian pricing of the audio device. Yes, ahead of the official launch of the Nothing Ear 1 TWS earbuds the company has listed the TWS earphone on the home-grown e-commerce website Flipkart to tease its availability in the country.

As revealed by the CEO,  “ It could be getting the right magnets — as magnets are usually designed to go inside of a product and not be seen by the consumer — to figuring out the best type of glueing.

Poco X3 Pro review: A smooth performer

Poco X3 Pro was recently launched at a starting price of Rs 18,999, and hence, it lands in the most competitive segment of the Indian smartphone market. It comes with a 48MP camera, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 860 processor and a very impressive design. But what is it like when used for a few days? Read our Poco X3 Pro review to find out.

Poco X3 Pro review: Design and display

Flashy, funky, bold…so many words come to our mind when we think of describing the design of Poco X3 Pro. It’s anything but mundane. The smartphone is kind of bulky to look at, and not surprisingly, a little heavy to hold at 213 grams. The device is available in Graphite Black, Steel Blue and Golden Bronze colours and the one that we got for review was dressed in Black. It has a uniquely shaped camera module on its back panel, that looks somewhat like a circle, but its top and bottom are more like that of a rectangle. The module has four camera lenses and an LED flash. The sides of the back panel have matte finish, whereas in the centre, there is a glossy stripe with diagonal lines and POCO branding on it. Poco X3 Pro comes with IP53 rating and according to the company, it is splash-proof. Poco X3 Pro 2 The right edge of the smartphone has the volume rocker keys and the Power button that doubles up as a fingerprint sensor. During our time with the device, it worked perfectly well every time we tried to use it. The left edge of the handset has a hybrid SIM tray, so you must choose between a second SIM card or a microSD card. The top edge has an IR emitter, the secondary speaker and another hole for better sound, while the bottom edge has a 3.5mm headphone jack, the primary speaker and the Type-C port. Flip over, and you will see the 6.67-inch full-HD+ LCD display of the smartphone that comes with a hole-punch camera on the centre-top. The earpiece is tucked between the display and the top edge of the handset. The screen of the device is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 and comes with a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and a maximum touch sampling rate of 240Hz. The display also has support for HDR10 and it outlined with thin bezels, although the chin is slightly thicker. The colour reproduction is accurate and they remain consistent at various viewing angles. The images are sharp and clear, but the sunlight readability could be better. We spent hours watching Netflix shows on the device, and we were very happy with the results. Poco X3 Pro 3 In a nutshell, we were quite happy with the design and the display of Poco X3 Pro smartphone. Both are definitely among the pros of the smartphone.

Poco X3 Pro review: Performance and cameras

Before we speak about the performance of Poco X3 Pro, let’s take a minute to talk about the smartphone’s specifications. The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 octa-core processor, coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage. The handset packs 5,260mAh battery and supports 33W fast charging, and runs Android 11 skinned with MIUI 12. Poco X3 Pro smartphone’s OS has several customizations including Game Turbo for gaming shortcuts and Second Space to enhance user privacy. It also comes with a number of preloaded apps including Facebook, LinkedIn, Prime Video, etc, and GetApps store, which along with Themes browser is responsible for a lot of notifications that you’ll get. The lock screen of the device also shows a lot of promoted content, unless you go and disable it. Poco X3 Pro 4 Coming to the performance, the smartphone could handle everyday task very smoothly. We often multi-tasked on the device and ran several apps and Chrome browsers simultaneously, and during our time with the device, we noticed no lag while doing so. Gaming is one of the best aspects of Poco X3 Pro. We played games starting from Temple Run 2 to heavy ones like Asphalt 9: Legends and they all ran without any hiccups. We really enjoyed gaming on the device, and it only became better when we enabled Game Turbo, which made sure that no notifications distracted us. If you spend too much time gaming, the phone starts warming up, but then, that’s not something unique to Poco X3 Pro. The biometrics of the smartphone including the fingerprint sensor and facial recognition worked well at all times, and were quick to respond. The battery life was also very lasting. With usage that involved gaming, an active Instagram account, listening to Spotify and clicking pictures, we could easily manage a day and a half.  Over this, the device can be charged completely in less than an hour, which is another plus.

Finally, let’s talk about the cameras of Poco X3 Pro. The device comes with a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. The camera app comes with a number of modes like Vlog, Dual Video, Short Video, Time Lapse, Slow Motion, etc.

Clicked by ultra-wide camera
The cameras are not among the pros of the handset. The shots that we took in daylight turned out good enough, but the colours were not as vibrant as they should have been in the shots that we took indoors. The details in the images captured dropped when we used the ultra-wide camera and the results were not super. We used the other two cameras as well to capture some close-up and portrait shots, and they turned out to be average. The quality doesn’t really match up to what we have seen in other phones in this price range.

Zoomed in shot
Images taken in dimly lit areas could really be better, and even with Night Mode turned on, the camera could only manage average shots. We have seen better from some of the Redmi smartphones. The 20MP selfie camera of the smartphone does a decent job, but again, the images taken can’t be termed as great. Overall, the cameras left us with mixed bag of feelings.

Verdict

Most aspects of Poco X3 Pro work in its favour. The design and the display of the smartphone are definitely among its pros, and so are its battery and performance. However, what goes against it is the spammy notifications, the promotional content, and the cameras could have been better. We do recommend the phone for its smooth performance, but you should know what you’ll be missing out on before you make the purchase. We for one feel, gamers would love it. Pros
  • Lasting battery
  • Smooth performance
  • Funky design
Cons
  • Promotional content and bloatware
  • Average cameras
