If you are a foodie who avoids eating spicy food, there is no more need to worry. A research published in American Chemical Society’s (ACS) Applied Nano Materials journal has revealed about a chili-shaped portable device that can reveal how much capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their kick, a pepper contains before biting into it.
According to the ACS researchers, “Chili peppers are a popular food ingredient around the world. In addition to imparting a spicy flavor, the capsaicin in chili peppers has several health benefits, including anti-oxidative, anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory activities. Therefore, the demand for capsaicin as a food additive and pharmaceutical agent is growing.”
However, some go out of the way avoid the palate-singeing burn of capsaicin. For them, Warakorn Limbut and colleagues wanted to develop a simple, accurate and cheap method to quantify the capsaicin content of chili peppers and food samples. The researchers further stated that alternative mechanism have been created for this purpose are complicated, time-consuming or require expensive, bulky instrumentation.
A chili-shaped portable device have been created by the research team that one can easily connect to a smartphone to display the results of the analysis. The journal further asserted that “The paper-based electrochemical sensor within the device consisted of graphene nanoplatelets doped with nitrogen atoms to improve their electrical conductivity. When the team added a drop of diluted capsaicin to the sensor, the compound underwent oxidation and reduction reactions, producing an electrical current that the device detected.”
Once the sensor was optimized, the researcher team used it to check capsaicin concentrations in six dried chili samples. The team further “added the chilies to an ethanol-containing solution, shook it up and then introduced a drop of the sample. The device accurately measured capsaicin concentrations from 7.5-90 μM in the six samples, and could detect down to 0.37 μM in the diluted samples.”
Isn’t this chili-shaped portable device an interesting kitchen gadget that will save you from spicy hot food? Do let us know your views in the comment section below.

After pushing the innovation of Caller ID to great heights to make communication safer and more efficient for their users, Truecaller has rolled out three highly anticipated features for its users across the world. These features include:
Call Reason
Schedule SMS
SMS Translate
As a leader in the mobile identity space, Truecaller informs customers regarding who is calling them. However, these newly-launched features would inform the users about why they are getting the call on their smartphones.
Expressing excitement at the launch of Call reason, Schedule SMS and SMS Translate, Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Chief Product Officer at Truecaller, said, “We have been working towards building an innovative communication suite for our users and these three features are the next big step in line with this mission. Communication in 2020 is easier in many ways, but also complicated by the vast ways in which people connect for information.”
According to Truecaller, Call Reason, which is one of the most requested features in 2020, enables users to set a reason for their call to allow the receiver to check what the call is about, whether the incoming call is personal, business or something urgent. With this, the new feature extends the platform’s Caller ID feature to help users to send a note in their outgoing calls. This would empower users in higher pick-up rates on outgoing calls as the receiver would know “what reason the call has been placed”. Businesses can set a customized text before every call which would increase engagement with their customers. It is available to both Android and iOS users.
The new ‘Schedule SMS’ extends the platform’s Caller ID feature to enable users to schedule a message reminder of any events, meetings, or what groceries you need to pick up at the end of the day. Users can schedule SMS by simply selecting the icon while messaging and choose a date and time. Your message will be sent then, and you will always be able to see it scheduled in your chat. This feature is available for Android users only.
In addition to these features, the SMS Translate feature allows users to instantly translate the content of their messages directly in Truecaller without leaving the app. This feature works for both SMS and instant messages (IM). It is powered by Google’s ML Kit and all messages are processed locally in the phone, which means the content of your messages never leaves your device. Language packs are downloaded to your device before translation begins. Users can also download additional languages to use them offline, anytime and anywhere. SMS Translate will only be available for Android.
Truecaller further stated that it strives to stay true to the core principle of building a product for masses while always acting in the public interest. It is constantly listening to its users and want to help them by putting more power in their hands.

Asus ROG phone 2 got the best gaming smartphone award from us last year. Why? Because it had everything that was cutting edge at the time and one needed from a top-notch gaming phone. Now its bigger brother is out in the market in the form of Asus ROG Phone 3. Is it better than its predecessor? Let us find out in our Asus ROG Phone 3 review. Read on.
In This Article
Design and Display
Let’s quickly talk about the design of the Asus ROG Phone 3 first. Out of the box, it does not look very different from the previous gen, however, there are good and some bad changes on the phone. The good ones are that the USB Type-C point at the bottom is off-centre so that you can connect the charging cable and play with ease. The RGB lit logo makes a comeback and the rear design has got subtle changes and the heat exhaust grill at the back is an A+ in our books.
However, there is no 3.5mm audio port on the phone. That has now been moved to its Aero Active Cooler 3 attachment or you can attach a headphone with a supplied USB-C adaptor. Over that, there is no wireless charging. Majorly because of the RGB logo at the back.
But otherwise, the phone looks great. Sure it does not have an edge to edge touchscreen, but it is large enough for gaming and video pleasures. The display comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection, you get the nifty power and volume buttons and very modern rear camera panel. Overall we loved the design of the Asus ROG Phone 3. And before we forget, yes, the air triggers do come on the Asus ROG Phone 3 as well and the response rate has become better with them.
Moving to its 6.59-inch AMOLED display. It supports HDR 10 and 144Hz response rate. Max brightness here is 650nits and the screen supports glove touch too. We played a lot of games on the Asus ROG Phone 3, ranging from Call of Duty: Mobile to Asphalt series and not once did it disappoint us. We took it out in bright sunlight and everything on the screen was very legible. With that, the movie experience both indoors and outdoors is superb. Yes, the dual speakers sound was not super loud, but for single viewing and gaming pleasures, it was very decent.
Asus ROG Phone 3 performance and cameras
Let’s quickly talk about the insides before we tell you about what we felt about its overall performance. Asus ROG Phone 3 comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset with Adreno 650 graphics. This is combined with 8GB RAM and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage. Android 10 with Asus’s own skin comes right out of the box. All this makes up for the best gaming experience? Yes, it does. You get the absolute best when it comes to performance.
We loved every bit of it and the phone did not give us a chance to really bicker when it came to gaming or movie performance. Like we said we threw the best (highly demanding) games at it and it ran them with extreme ease.
When it comes to cameras, the Asus ROG Phone 3 has Sony IMX686 64MP camera at the back with another 13MP secondary sensor and a third 5MP camera for bokeh. Here too, the phone did not disappoint. We got very close to life shots, indoors and outdoors. Portrait shots had good edge detection, but landscape ones not so much. During low light or night time, we did face a little bit of graininess, but that went off as soon as we turned on the flash. Over that, the rear camera can also able to take exquisite 8K video shots at 30fps.
On the front Asus ROG Phone 3 has a 24MP sensor with f2.0 aperture, which we adored. The selfies during day time or in well-lit rooms were fabulous. Nighttime or low light not so much. So anytime we had to click a selfie, we made sure there is ample light in the room.
Moving to its battery performance, the Asus ROG Phone 3 has a 6,000 mAh battery that supports quick charge 4.0. This battery can last! We played hours of COD on the Asus ROG Phone 3 and the battery would just not die. Under normal circumstances, it can last you up to 2 days. Saying that, if you game a lot on it, it will still last you a day. For security, the smartphone does get Face Recognition as well as an in-display fingerprint sensor. Both of which work well. WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 with QC aptX support is also part of the package.
Overall, we loved the performance of the Asus ROG Phone 3 except its 240 grams weight. This has been distributed well, but we are sure Asus could have shaved a few grams off, here and there.
Verdict
Overall, we just loved the whole experience with the Asus ROG Phone 3. It has a battery that lasts, it can run the latest games at the best settings and design is very modern. Yes, there is a but here. The price is on the higher side of things and not what we were expecting. The 8GB model comes at Rs 49,999 and that seems to be 5-7K higher of what everyone was expecting it to be. Nevertheless, with the current schemes and bank offers, you can easily get it at under Rs 45,000, which makes it a very worthy buy.
Pros
Good display
Best in class for gaming
Long battery life
Cons
The sound could have been better
Weight

Danish technology company, Jabra, recently launched its Elite 45H headphones in India at a price of Rs 9,999. Jabra Elite 45H headphones are claimed to have a battery life of up to 50 hours, and come with support for Jabra Sound+ app and Bluetooth 5.0. Are they worth buying at this price point? We spent a few days with it and here’s our review of Jabra Elite 45H:
In This Article
Jabra Elite 45H design
Let’s begin by talking about the design of Jabra Elite 45H. The headphones have a very simple design but that does not mean that they aren’t classy to look at. In fact, you would like them if you love gadgets with minimalist design, more than the flashier ones. The body of the headphones is primarily made of plastic with matte texture but the extenders that help you adjust the device are metallic. However, they mostly stay hidden behind the headband of the headphones and are only visible when you actually make certain adjustments. The device weighs 160g, and needless to say, it is extremely light, and hence, it is very comfortable to wear Jabra Elite 45H for a long time.
To get into the specifics, the headband of Jabra Elite 45 headphones is made of a rubberised material that has padding, clubbed with plastic on the top. The earcups are made up of PU leatherette and they have memory foam within them for padding. There are tiny holes on the earcups too that form a prominent ‘R’ on the right one and an ‘L’ on the left one.
When put together, the materials that are used for the headband as well as for the earcups result in a very comfortable listening experience. We used the headphones for hours at times and never at once felt uncomfortable. Even though the headphones are compact in size, they cannot be folded inwards. They would have been more portable than what they are now, had that ability been there. However, we should mention that Jabra has included a case in which the headphones can be carried, so that’s certainly a plus.
All the controls of the headphones are present on the right earcup. There is a button to switch them On and Off, and interestingly, it turns on the Bluetooth too automatically. There are three buttons placed above it which can be used to Play/Pause, Receive or Reject calls, adjust the volume and skip through songs. There is another button placed separately that is dedicated to use the digital assistant on your smartphone. Besides these, the right earcup also comes with a USB-Type C charging port.
We did notice one thing that may cause inconvenience to some. The headphones have a tendency of slipping a bit when the wearer bends their head forward or backward. If you use Jabra’s new offering a lot, you may find this to be a consistent problem. The grip of the device could certainly be better.
Jabra Elite 45H performance
Jabra Elite 45H headphones have to be connected with the Jabra Sound+ app in your smartphone to be used and doing this is a very simple task. Just download the app on your smartphone, select the device’s name and then follow the instructions. This will give you access to a number of additional functions that can be performed via the app like five-band customisable Equalization and certain things that can be modified according to the user’s preferences. Users also have the option of enabling Sleep Mode. The headphones have Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity and come with fast charging capabilities. However, it lacks an IP rating and some features like Ambient Sound, auto Play and Pause, and ANC is also not present. The company has also claimed a battery life of up to 50 hours, and during our time with Jabra Elite 45H headphones, we could use them for almost an entire week without having to charge them again. We think at this price point, this is a very good battery life they boast of.
Coming to the sound output of the Jabra Elite 45H headphones, the lows, highs and the mids of the music – all sounded great, but the device is particularly for you if you like music that’s heavy on mids. The Bass on headphones sounds extremely good too. We heard a lot of songs that were heavy on Bass to make sure that it sounds great, and it does.
However, we should mention that some tracks would sound better at a lower volume on the headphones. You may encounter this problem if you listen to songs that are heavy on too many instruments.
We didn’t only use the headphones to listen to music, but also to make and receive phone calls. We have to say that the microphone of the Jabra Elite 45H headphones did a good job at all times. We, as well as the person we called, could hear each other clearly at all times. We didn’t face any disturbance even once, and we think that that’s quite impressive.
Verdict
Considering the price of Rs 9,999, Jabra Elite 45H headphones are definitely a good buy. The clarity of sound is great, the battery is long lasting and the microphone works well too. Moreover, the headphones are comfortable to wear even for long duration. A few features may be missing, but at this price point, Jabra Elite 45H offers good performance.

Moving to its 6.59-inch AMOLED display. It supports HDR 10 and 144Hz response rate. Max brightness here is 650nits and the screen supports glove touch too. We played a lot of games on the Asus ROG Phone 3, ranging from Call of Duty: Mobile to Asphalt series and not once did it disappoint us. We took it out in bright sunlight and everything on the screen was very legible. With that, the movie experience both indoors and outdoors is superb. Yes, the dual speakers sound was not super loud, but for single viewing and gaming pleasures, it was very decent.

We played a lot of games on the Asus ROG Phone 3, ranging from Call of Duty: Mobile to Asphalt series and not once did it disappoint us. We took it out in bright sunlight and everything on the screen was very legible. With that, the movie experience both indoors and outdoors is superb. Yes, the dual speakers sound was not super loud, but for single viewing and gaming pleasures, it was very decent.
On the front Asus ROG Phone 3 has a 24MP sensor with f2.0 aperture, which we adored. The selfies during day time or in well-lit rooms were fabulous. Nighttime or low light not so much. So anytime we had to click a selfie, we made sure there is ample light in the room.
Moving to its battery performance, the Asus ROG Phone 3 has a 6,000 mAh battery that supports quick charge 4.0. This battery can last! We played hours of COD on the Asus ROG Phone 3 and the battery would just not die. Under normal circumstances, it can last you up to 2 days. Saying that, if you game a lot on it, it will still last you a day. For security, the smartphone does get Face Recognition as well as an in-display fingerprint sensor. Both of which work well. WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 with QC aptX support is also part of the package.
Overall, we loved the performance of the Asus ROG Phone 3 except its 240 grams weight. This has been distributed well, but we are sure Asus could have shaved a few grams off, here and there.

To get into the specifics, the headband of Jabra Elite 45 headphones is made of a rubberised material that has padding, clubbed with plastic on the top. The earcups are made up of PU leatherette and they have memory foam within them for padding. There are tiny holes on the earcups too that form a prominent ‘R’ on the right one and an ‘L’ on the left one.
When put together, the materials that are used for the headband as well as for the earcups result in a very comfortable listening experience. We used the headphones for hours at times and never at once felt uncomfortable. Even though the headphones are compact in size, they cannot be folded inwards. They would have been more portable than what they are now, had that ability been there. However, we should mention that Jabra has included a case in which the headphones can be carried, so that’s certainly a plus.
All the controls of the headphones are present on the right earcup. There is a button to switch them On and Off, and interestingly, it turns on the Bluetooth too automatically. There are three buttons placed above it which can be used to Play/Pause, Receive or Reject calls, adjust the volume and skip through songs. There is another button placed separately that is dedicated to use the digital assistant on your smartphone. Besides these, the right earcup also comes with a USB-Type C charging port.
We did notice one thing that may cause inconvenience to some. The headphones have a tendency of slipping a bit when the wearer bends their head forward or backward. If you use Jabra’s new offering a lot, you may find this to be a consistent problem. The grip of the device could certainly be better.
However, we should mention that some tracks would sound better at a lower volume on the headphones. You may encounter this problem if you listen to songs that are heavy on too many instruments.
We didn’t only use the headphones to listen to music, but also to make and receive phone calls. We have to say that the microphone of the Jabra Elite 45H headphones did a good job at all times. We, as well as the person we called, could hear each other clearly at all times. We didn’t face any disturbance even once, and we think that that’s quite impressive.
