The music and video streaming space in India has seen a number of new players recently and among them, it was Spotify which managed to grab the most attention. Right after the Sweden-based music streaming app got launched in India, Google has rolled out its YouTube Music, YouTube Music Premium and YouTube Premium in the country.
Before we get into more details, we should add here that while YouTube Music supports advertisements, YouTube Music Premium and YouTube Premium are ad-free. The two services were launched in seventeen countries including the United States last year in June. Google has made them available in India after eight months of their global launch.
It is worth noticing that YouTube Music and YouTube Premium are not the only two music/video services by Google. The search giant has already launched Google Play Music and Google Play Movies services in India. Other than this, a number of apps and services in India will be giving YouTube Music a tough competition. While YouTube Premium would only be enhancing the regular YouTube experience, YouTube Music will be seen competing with Spotify, Gaana, Wynk, JioSaavn and more.
According to YouTube, YouTube Music will be available on the web and also as a standalone app. The service will offer albums, playlists, originals, artist radio and its own collection of remixes, live performances and music videos. There are two versions of the service – a paid one that is ad-free, and a free one that comes with advertisements. Furthermore, the paid service will let you play music and videos in the background while you do other things on your smartphone. We should mention that this is not available in the regular YouTube app as the music video stops as soon as the user launches another app.
The paid service will also let you download music offline.
The price of YouTube Music Premium begins at Rs 99 a month. However, there is an introductory offer with which you can get three months free for YouTube Music Premium. But then, it will only be available to those who have never tried or used any of YouTube or Google’s music streaming services earlier.
The company has also added that the paid subscriber of Google Play Music will also have access to YouTube Music Premium without having to pay anything extra. The app is available on Android as well as iOS.
Speaking of YouTube Premium, it is available to Indian subscribers for Rs 129 a month. If you get this, you will automatically have access to YouTube Music Premium. YouTube Premium will give users access to originals, an ad-free experience, and offline downloads.
Google has rolled out its Chrome 73 to all its users today and the new version comes with a number of new improvements. The most-talked-about one among these is Dark Mode for macOS. Dark Mode has gained a lot of popularity in the last few months because users have a prefernce for it considering that it puts less stare on their eyes. Furthermore, Google has also admitted that it helps in prolonging the battery of the device.
The technology giant first announced Dark Mode for Chrome last month, however, the official release has started today with Chrome 73. Once you have the Chrome 73 working on your system, you would be able to enable Dark Mode. And once you do this, you would see that Chrome 73’s Dark Mode looks a lot like the browser’s Incognito mode that is meant for keeping browsing private.
If you access Incognito mode with the new Dark theme enabled, you would see that it looks nearly the same as the one without the Dark Mode on. There is just a new icon on the menu bar of the Incognito mode that gets added.
We should mention here that this isn’t the first time that Dark Mode or themed options are being offered by Chrome. Google has time and again offered themes for its Chrome browser on its Chrome Web Store. However, the latest update has made the Dark Mode official on a system level. It’s good for the users because they wouldn’t have to switch it manually anymore.
In case you are someone who isn’t too fond of the Dark Mode, you don’t necessarily have to live with it. You can simply use the Chrome themes to switch your colour scheme back toward a lighter style. Other than this, you can also choose to flip the entire OS back to light mode.
As we mentioned earlier, Dark Mode has gained a lot of popularity in the last few months. A number of apps have also rolled out the mode for users including Twitter, YouTube, Android Messages and Pocket. Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp will also be soon getting the said mode. Android Q, which is expected to be unveiled at Google I/O 2019, will reportedly bring a system-wide Dark Mode.
OnePlus’s upcoming flagship device, OnePlus 7 is rumoured to come with a pop-up selfie camera. Some images that were released earlier on Twitter showed the alleged OnePlus 7 with a full screen display and no notch which indicated that it would hold a pop-up selfie camera. Till now, there was no solid proof to support this claim, besides a few renders of the device that surfaced online. And now, some case renders have been leaked online which showcases a cut out for triple-rear camera setup at the back and a dedicated space on top of the case for the alleged pop-up selfie camera.
The case renders also had two cut-outs on the left and right sides. While the left cut out may be for the volume rocker keys, the right one could hold the OnePlus’s alert slider and power button. The images were leaked by GizmoChina showed two rendered cases – one was a leathered case while the other was made of poly carbonate. But both the cases had the same cut-outs for buttons which mean both the cases are similar with only difference in their built material.
But since no official comment has been made by the company, the renders may or may not be true and it is also likely that OnePlus 7 could come with a different built and design. So, the news should be taken with a pinch of salt.
OnePlus 7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC and will come with high-end flagship level specifications, much like all other OnePlus smartphones launched earlier. According to earlier leaked images, the OnePlus 7 might come with a 6.5-inch display with an in-display fingerprint scanner like the OnePlus 6T. It would reportedly hold a triple-rear camera at the back while the front camera might be a pop-up selfie camera.

Furthermore, he also said that the OnePlus 7 won’t come with wireless charging support.

Plantronics-owned brand Polycom has launched Trio 8500, that is touted to be the perfect communication tool for mid-sized conference rooms. The company has said that Polycom Trio 8500 takes an ordinary conference call experience to the next level. The device can be used for voice as well as video calls and comes with the same interface as Skype.
The company has spoken about the presence of Polycom HD Voice technology that makes the voice of all the speakers crystal clear. Furthermore, the device also lets users share data with others by just pressing a button. Polycom has also said that it has tried to keep navigation on Trio 8500 as simple as it can be.
Polycom Trio 8500 comes with an advanced sound quality that includes HD Voice and Polycom Acoustic Clarity technologies. We should add here that the device is also said to have industry-leading full duplex, echo cancellation, and noise reduction with advanced voice processing. Polycom also says that since Trio 8500 has a pick up of 14ft/4.3m, it works well for a mid-sized conference room.
The device also has Polycom’s patented Noise-Block technology that offers an uninterrupted experience by automatically detecting non-speech noise and muting the microphones. Furthermore, the technology automatically unmutes them when they detect speech, so conferences can move seemlessly.
Polycom Trio 8500 can be used as a conference phone or even for video-conferencing for Polycom Trio Visual+ with a qualified USB camera. It has been designed to make business-class video conferencing and content sharing cost-effective.
You can also connect wired or wireless devices to Polycom Trio 8500 via USB or Bluetooth while using cloud conferencing or VaaS solutions. The company has worked with software giant Microsoft in order to design the device in a way that it maximizes the power of Skype for Business and Office 365.
According to the company, only Polycom Trio conference phones can claim Skype for Business certified distinction and extend the simplicity of Skype for Business from the desktop to the conference room. The device also ensures that all this is done consistently.
Mozilla’s encrypted file-sharing service, Firefox Send is no longer being tested and has finally come out of its beta phase. The Firefox Send service allows users to send download links that can automatically expire after a certain period of time.
Alternatively, they can also expire after a set number of people download the file that has been sent. Users can also protect the files with a password which the recipient has to enter before he downloads them.
According to Mozilla, because Firefox Send gives this additional control to users, it makes it a much better choice than its rivals for sharing any files that carry sensitive or confidential information. However, we should add that only because you set a limit on the number of times a file can be downloaded, it doesn’t stop people from making copies of the files after they have downloaded them.
So, if you are indeed something that has very sensitive information, you should still be vigilant about it and take other necessary steps to make it safe. Regardless of which browser you use, Firefox Send is now available to all.
Using the service, you can send files that are up to 1GB in size by default. But we should add that if you sign up for a free Firefox account, you will be able to send files that are up to 2.5GB in size.
It is also worth noticing that Mozilla is not only making its service available on the web. The company is also rolling out an Android app of Firefox Send that enables you to share files via mobile.
However, we must add that as of now, the Firefox Send Android app is in beta and will only be available to all once the testing is completed and the Mozilla is sure that it is bug-free.
Currently, there is no word on whether Mozilla will be launching the Firefox Send app for iOS or not. We would have to wait to know when that will happen if it will happen at all. The new service by Mozilla competes with the likes of Dropbox and WeTransfer.
Software giant Microsoft has started testing updates to its ‘Your Phone’ app for Windows 10. With the latest update, Android users will be able to mirror a smartphone screen directly to a PC. We should add that the ‘phone screen’ mirroring feature will be made available to Windows Insider starting this week. To make the feature work well, you need to have the latest test builds of Windows 10 along with the Your Phone app.
To recall, Microsoft had earlier demonstrated how the phone screen mirroring feature works in Your Phone app at its Surface event in October last year. The app makes the smartphone screen appear directly on to Windows 10 and it shows an entire list of Android apps that you have. You can access these apps by tapping on them and make them appear in the remote session of your device that will be mirrored to your PC that runs on Windows 10.
Microsoft is also making Bluetooth with Low Energy Peripheral mode a requirement for PCs. This has been done because it is the only way in which Your Phone app communicates and mirrors Android smartphones to Windows 10 PCs. However, this also means that too many PCs will not be able to participate in testing the feature at least initially. Microsoft Surface Go is the first ever Surface machine to support the beta test.
The software giant has also limited the number of smartphones that will have support for the mirroring feature during the test. As of now, it is only available on Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. However, the company has said that it will be expanding the list of smartphones and PC devices that support this feature with time.
We should add here that screen mirroring is a good way to use your mobile apps on PC. It is a clever way in which Microsoft and Android come together. Microsoft has started testing the feature, however, it does have support for older versions of Windows 10 too. So, the new feature will make its way to the ‘Your Phone’ app as a separate update once the testing is finished.
Last month, Chinese smartphone brand OnePlus hosted the #PMChallenge, as a part of which, it called fans to design a few features for the company’s UI OxygenOS. OnePlus said that the challenge got nearly 200 valid entries, and made it consider more than 20 changes and improvements in the interface.
The challenge is now over and OnePlus also has a winner that it has announced. The changes that were suggested by Léandro Tijink, who is also known as ‘Its.Leandroo’ on the company’s official forum will be implemented by OnePlus.
The changes that were suggested by Tijink would mean adopting a cleaner approach that would take OxygenOS to newer levels. Although there is no official word on it, the changes may be seen on the upcoming OnePlus 7 smartphone that is all set to be launched in Summer this year.
According to Tijink, “The new ‘experience’ will be suitable for everyone, of all ages. It will be more pleasant for younger people, and easier to understand for less-technical people. It also brings new possibilities for more technical people, like easier theming, customisability and personalisation.”
He also said that OxygenOS should come with consistent colour-usage, corner-radii, and font sizes. Elaborating on this, he added, “Because of the consistency in design, it will be easier to say: those elements need to be blue, these need to be white, and this always needs to be red. This should also help with Dark Mode, because there are only so many colours, all used very consistently.”
Tinjink has also posted a gallery that shows a glimpse of the changes that have been suggested by him. You can see images of a revamped welcome screen that users would get to see when they switch on the smartphone for the first time, and changes in Ambient Display, App Drawer, and Quick Settings.
Among the key highlights of the changes that he has mentioned is that all the apps on OxygenOS should work on four themes – Colourful, Light, Dark, and AMOLED.
He has also added, “Every app has the same looks, but they all have their own accent colour when the system theme is set to colourful. Then you set the theme to any of the other three, the accent colour that the user chose will be used in all apps.”
The Chinese smartphone brand has said that it will be working on the ideas that have been suggested by Tijink. Since he has won the challenge, Tijink will be the person who’ll fly out to the launch event by OnePlus and get a VIP experience in addition to a new OnePlus phone.

Samsung’s latest flagship smartphones – the Galaxy S10 series has been dominating discussions between technology lovers and the media enthusiasts for all the right reasons. At least till now they were. But recently, smartphones in the Samsung Galaxy S10 series went through a drop test and all the three smartphones from the Galaxy S10 series weren’t able to survive it.
The devices in the Samsung Galaxy S10 series are made of glass (both front and back) and during the first drop the smartphones’ glass panels shattered. In fact, after the first drop test, the smallest of the lot – Samsung Galaxy S10e – was deemed unusable. The test was conducted by SquareTrade where it compared the Galaxy S10 series with the iPhone X series to show the users how the newest smartphone from Samsung stands up against its rival.
Earlier, a YouTuber named JerryRigEverything had performed scratch and bend test on the devices where they seem to pass the test. But eventually they failed the drop test.
A YouTube channel named SquareTrade performed the drop test on all the Samsung Galaxy S10 variants where it dropped the smartphones from a height of 6-feet and found out that all the three smartphones have suffered massive outer damage. According to SquareTrade, Samsung Galaxy S10 series would break if dropped on top of concrete. Samsung Galaxy S9 as well as iPhone X models too showed similar results as all the smartphones have glass construction on both front and back.
When dropped, the iPhone X became unusable just like Galaxy S10e. Out of all the three variants of Samsung Galaxy S10 series, the Galaxy S10e seemed to have the least durability. After the drop, the Galaxy S10e malfunctioned and became unusable. The camera, as well as the LED flash of Samsung Galaxy S10e, became unusable after the drop.
While on the other hand, Samsung Galaxy S10 performed the best and handled the drop well even though it too cracked when dropped. External damages aside, after the drop, Samsung Galaxy S10 remained functional and usable unlike the Galaxy S10e. According to SquareTrade, Samsung Galaxy S10 performed better in terms of durability and usability after the drop than its competitor, the iPhone XS Max.
In another video, JerryRigEverything, the YouTuber tested the Samsung Galaxy S10 in a bend test and flame test which the smartphone passed with ease. Even the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner of the device, which is a new technology brought by Samsung worked just fine even when the screen above it was heavily damaged.

Instant messaging app Google Allo is shutting down today. The company has announced that Google Allo, which was launched back in 2016 alongside Google Duo will be shutting down today as the service never gained enough attention and user base. There weren’t many people who used the chatting app from Google except the ones who used it as an option to save and download all their chat history and media uploaded on the app.
Google has also published a small tutorial through which people could download their chat history and data from the app before it is officially shut down.
Steps to download data and chat history from Google Allo:
To download the media and chat history from your Google Allo account, you need to have the latest version of Google Allo installed on your device (Android or iPhone).
After opening the app, head to the Menu option and then click on Settings.
Once in the Settings menu, click on the ‘Chat’ option. Once clicked, you will see two options – ‘Export messages from chats’ and ‘Export stored media from chats’. It should be noted that the ‘export messages’ will only include the text messages; and the media exchanged will not be included when this option is clicked. To get the media and photos the user needs to click the ‘Export stored media from chats’.
Once clicked on any of the two options, you will be asked if you want to save the file on your device, and then it will be downloaded.
The media on Google Allo is saved in CSV file format which includes the chat details. The details include the Conversation name, ID of the user, the sender of the message, type of message, and content of the message. The downloaded file is saved in a ZIP file (compressed).
Google also mentioned on its support page that along with deleting the Google Allo app the company will be deleting all the user’s messages and media. Google won’t store any messages or user data from the app, even the incognito messages will be deleted. But it should be kept in mind that the chat’s backups saved on Google Drive or iCloud accounts will not be readable after the deletion of the app and the users would have to delete the backups manually.
Google support page writes “We’re saying goodbye to Allo on March 12, 2019.”
Besides Google Allo, Inbox by Gmail and Google’s URL shortner named Goo.gl will also be discontinued by the end of the month.
2019 will see the 17th Lok Sabha elections in India. And the dates of the Lok Sabha and some state Assembly elections have finally been announced by the Election Commission of India.

Apple will be taking the stage later this year to announce the seventh-generation of its entry-level iPad model. The new iPad is expected to hold the same design aspects as its predecessors. The newest generation of iPad will have the Touch ID and a 3.5mm headphone jack which, we should mention, was absent from the last year’s iPad Pro.
In 2018, the Cupertino-based company had introduced a 9.7-inch iPad with Apple Pencil support and without much physical changes over its predecessors. This year too, the company is expected to continue with the same design elements. Outer elements aside, the upcoming entry-level iPad model is expected to hold new internals while keeping the same look and most importantly, it will be focused towards the education sector. This also means that the new 2019 iPad won’t be having some of the features we saw on the earlier top-end iPad Pro models.
According to a report from Macotakara, Apple will most probably retain the same enclosure for the iPad as last year’s iPad. The report further mentions that the company hasn’t finalised the screen size of the upcoming iPad and it could also bring a 10-inch iPad instead of the 9.7-inch model. Also, when launching the new entry-level iPad, the company could also launch a new iPad mini model.
But there is still no official news from Apple if it will be keeping the Lightning port or will switch to USB Type-C for the upcoming iPad Pro 2019 models. But it is almost certain that the newer models of the iPad will be powered by a new processor.
Early reports about the iPad indicates that the upcoming iPad Mini 5 come with looks that are similar to its predecessor and could be also launched in the first half of the 2019. Apple’s release of its iOS 12.2 beta earlier also hinted that the new iPad and iPad mini models would not have the company’s Face ID.

PUBG Mobile has garnered tremendous popularity for both good and bad reasons. There are PUBG fans who are completely hooked to the game and there are those who are addicted to the extent that their personal lives are effected.
And it seems like negative news about PUBG Mobile in India is not going to stop. Last week, the wildly-popular online multiplayer battle-royale was banned in Rajkot, prior to which it saw a ban in Gujarat’s primary schools. And now a new report has been surfaced which suggests that a 15-year old boy from Jalandhar, Punjab stole Rs 50,000 from his father’s account to buy PUBG skins and other gaming accessories.
According to the report, the teenager stole the money to buy a gaming pad for his smartphone and skins on PUBG Mobile. The father of the boy works as a bike mechanic and he did not realize the missing money from his account as there was no OTP messages or not transaction messages received by him. When he found out the missing money, he filed a police complaint.
The police further investigated the matter, the transaction details came into light when the cyber cell launched an investigation into the matter. It was then found out that the money was transferred to a Paytm account from his bank account and the transferred money was used to buy the PUBG skins and other gaming items.
Later, the police found out that the man’s 15-year old son had taken the money making him the culprit. The boy had transferred the money to his friend’s Paytm account during the night. The boy even went on to delete the OTP message from his father’s phone to remove the suspicion. When it was found out that the boy was the culprit, his father dropped the charges.
It should be noted that, PUBG skins are the clothing and extra equipment’s you can get by paying some amount of money to the game through Google Play Store or App Store. The skins don’t do anything other than change the appearance of the virtual character in the PUBG Mobile game.
With the growth of our reliance on digital devices and internet for basic necessities, it has become extremely important to stay on the safer side of the internet. You can protect your banking, Paytm and other money-related apps with password and PIN codes so that no one other than you can get access of it. These passwords are particularly a must-have if your children access your smartphone on a regular basis.

Chinese consumer electronics maker Huawei unveiled its smartwatch – Huawei Watch GT – along with its flagship Mate 20 Pro. Although the smartphone has been launched in India some weeks back, the company took wraps off its Huawei Watch GT smartwatch in India today.
The device is touted to have a massive battery life that lasts 14 days, comes with water-resistance of up to 50 metres and also has a real-time heart rate monitoring feature. Here’s a look at the price and specifications of the Huawei Watch GT smartwatch:

Huawei Watch GT price and availability
The Huawei Watch GT has been launched in two variants in India – Sports Edition and Classic Edition. While the Huawei Watch GT’s Sports Edition is priced at Rs 15,990, the Classic Edition of the smartwatch costs Rs 16,990. Both the variants will go on sale exclusively on Amazon India’s website starting March 19.
Huawei Watch GT specifications
Huawei Watch GT runs the company’s own Light OS platform and is powered by Cortex-M4 processor. Among the key highlights of Huawei Watch GT is its battery life. The smartwatch’s battery is touted to last for 30 days with GPS and heart rate tracking off. If the user chooses to turn on the heart rate monitor, Huawei Watch GT’s battery will last for a fortnight. Even if the usage is very heavy and the user chooses to switch on the GPS, the heart rate tracking and keeps the screen in ‘Always On’ mode, Huawei Watch GT’s battery will still last for 22 hours, the company claims.
The smartwatch features a 1.39-inch AMOLED display and sports a dual crown. Huawei Watch GT is made of 316L stainless steel clubbed with ceramic bezels. The smartwatch comes with 5ATM water resistance, which means that it can work perfectly in up to 50 metres of water. So, you can easily take it for a swim with yourself.
Huawei Watch GT has 12MB of RAM and 128MB of internal ROM. It is compatible with devices that run Android 4.4 or higher and iOS 9.0 or more.
The smartwatch also has an optical heart rate sensor that uses 6LEDs and is backed by the company’s TruSeen 3.0 technology. Huawei has claimed that TruSeen 3.0 technology makes the device learn over time about the usage pattern to give users a more personalised experience.
Huawei Watch GT comes with built-in GPS and can be used to track users’ daily activities while being connected to Health Assistant app. The device can also be used to track sleep and steps.
Chinese smartphone brand Honor had promised that it will roll out the latest EMUI 9.0 update for its Honor 8X handset. The company has kept its promise and has announced that it will begin rolling out the update for Honor 8X users starting March 18.
To recall, the smartphone was launched back in October 2018 and it came with Android 8.0 Oreo out-of-the-box with EMUI 8.2.0. But now, the Honor 8X will be receiving the latest EMUI 9.0 based on Android 9.0 Pie. The update will roll out to the devices in a phased manner, and since it is a staged rollout it would take some time for the update to reach to all of the Honor 8X devices.
The new update brings new features and a newer UI design that we have seen earlier in Android 9.0 Pie. One among the new features is Digital Balance, which helps the users track their smartphone habits. The Digital Balance sets an app usage timer to help and monitor the time the user is spending on the smartphone and also on the apps. It shows what app has the highest usage time and which app has the lowest and hence, the feature lets users curb their smartphone usage. The feature is already present on the Honor’s flagship smartphone, the Honor View 20, and users reported that the feature was extremely useful.
Along with features, the new update should also update the security patch of the Honor 8X with the latest patch. The details of the security patch are currently not known. The company also mentioned that the update will also support the AR scanning combined with image recognition technology which helps users identify an item and purchase it. In short, the feature is called the ‘reverse image search’ which lets the user identify an image and search about the details about the image online. The search uses an image for the search rather than words and sentences.
Honor announced about Honor 8X getting the Android Pie update alongside the Honor Days Sale currently going live on Amazon India. During the sale five of Honor smartphones are being offered for a discounted price namely – Honor 8X, Honor 8C, Honor Play, Honor 7C and Honor View 20.
During the five days’ sale (March 11 – March 15), the Honor 8X is getting Rs 4,000 discount on its original prices on both its variants. During the sale, the 4GB RAM/64GB storage is selling for Rs 13,999 while the 6GB RAM/64GB storage is selling for Rs 15,999.
Chinese smartphone brand Oppo’s budget range is all set to get a new member – Oppo A5s. According to a recent report, the company is planning to launch the Oppo A5s, which is basically the successor of Oppo A3s smartphone and a slightly revamped version of the Oppo A5. A render of the upcoming smartphone has surfaced online and it has given us an insight into some of the main specifications of Oppo A5s.
The render, that was first published by technology website MySmartPrice, shows an updated version of the Oppo A5 smartphone, that was launched in India in August last year. Along with the render, the report also talks about some specifications of the upcoming smartphone.
The device can be seen to sport a waterdrop-shaped notch on the top of its display, and that also means that it has a greater screen-to-body ratio. A fingerprint sensor can also be seen on the back panel of the smartphone.
Coming to the specifications of the smartphone, Oppo A5s is reportedly 8.2mm thick and is said to weigh around 170 grams. According to the report, the smartphone will be available in Red, Black, Gold, and Green colour variants. However, as of now, we don’t know which among these would make it to India.
Oppo A5s will reportedly be powered by MediaTek Helio P35 octa-core SoC that will be clubbed with 2GB/3GB/4GB of RAM. The device is expected to come with either 32GB or 64GB internal storage and will have support for a microSD card.
According to the report, Oppo A5s will feature a 6.2-inch HD+ display, and as of now, we don’t know if it will be protected by the likes of Gorilla Glass for scratch protection. At the back, Oppo A5s will reportedly sport a dual rear camera setup that will comprise of a 13MP primary sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and a 2MP depth-sensor with an f/2.4 aperture. For selfies and video calls, there will be an 8MP front-facing snapper with an f/2.0 aperture.
Oppo A5s will house a 4,230mah battery and will run Android Oreo skinned with ColorOS 5.2. Currently, there is no word on the launch date of the device, so we will have to wait a little more before we get an update.
It’s official. Apple is holding a special event on March 25 and has sent out media invitations for the same. The invitation that has been sent by Apple says, “It’s show time.” It further mentions that the special event will be held at Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino on March 25 and will begin at 10 am.
We should mention that the event was speculated last month when a report in BuzzFeed News claimed that Apple is planning to launch its own news subscription service. Another rumour that has been circulating online says that the Cupertino-based technology giant is planning to unveil a Netflix-like streaming service.
It is worth noticing that in the last few months, the company has made a number of content deals and these include the ones that involve the creation of shows. In fact, some of the shows like Carpool Karaoke are already available via Apple Music. However, some are not available yet and these are the ones for which Apple has made deals with celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, M Night Shyamalan and Steven Spielberg.
By foraying into the streaming business, Apple will be competing with Netflix, Amazon‘s Prime Video service, Disney’s upcoming Disney+ service, the DC Universe service among others.
We should add that Apple’s plans for launching a news service are very likely, as they are completely in-line with the company’s acquisition of news subscription aggregator Texture. So, we wouldn’t be wrong to expect the service to launch on March 25.
Some reports about Apple’s upcoming news service claims that publishers are not very happy with what the technology giant is offering them in the deal. Apple reportedly plans to claim half of the proceeds of the subscription fee that will cost users $10 per month. Only the other half will be given to publishers, and that too will be based on how many people read their stories.
So, the launch of Apple’s news service on March 25 is completely based on whether or not the company has settled this disagreement with publishers. We personally think that the launch of both the services is possible, but we are definitely not expecting the event to be focussed on hardware.
It’s no longer new for Chinese smartphone brands to come up with their own sub-brands. Huawei, Vivo and Xiaomi already have their sub-brands. Oppo also launched its Realme sub-brand, but that later became a separate company. And now, Oppo has unveiled its new sub-brand in China named Reno. And soon, the company will release a smartphone on April 10 under the newly-launched Reno sub-brand. Other than the launch date of the smartphone and its name, little information about the device is available.
Oppo has also shared the logo of its upcoming brand, and considering that Reno’s symbol has a fun and youth-centric vibe, we expect the smartphones launched under the sub-brand to be aimed at millennials. If this is true then the smartphones launched with Reno’s branding will be priced aggressively and come with powerful features.
Brian Shen, Oppo’s Vice President shared Reno’s logo on Chinese social networking platform Weibo. The logo is colourful and packs an abstract design. Oppo has confirmed that Reno’s debut smartphone will launch on April 10 in China. Also, Shen shared on Weibo that Oppo will introduce a new product line in April that will be appealing to the global audience. In the photo he shared, it is hinted that the upcoming Reno smartphone will have dual-rear cameras at the back.
As we mentioned earlier, the company had already launched its sub-brand in India named Realme, which is now an independent company. When launched, Realme brought out smartphones with aggressive pricing and had features which other smartphone companies offered at a price higher than Realme’s. Realme 1 is a good example of a smartphone in the budget range launched to take on higher-priced rivals. Even though Realme has become an independent brand now, the smartphones it offers follow the same principles. In July 2018, Realme decided to go independent and it separated itself from the Chinese smartphone maker Oppo. Sky Li became the head of Realme who was the former senior executive and head of Oppo India.
And with the launch of Reno in China, the company could be looking for another sub-brand strategy.
Oppo is reportedly working on its next flagship smartphone which will be powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC and have 10x optical zoom. The company has already showcased its 10x optical zoom at MWC 2019. The smartphone was also spotted on AnTuTU listing and it was rumoured that the smartphone will be called the Oppo Find Z. The upcoming smartphone might have a 4,065mAh battery.
Chinese smartphone brand Realme recently launched its Realme 3 smartphone in India. Realme 3 is the successor of Realme 2 smartphone and it comes with features like waterdrop-shaped display notch and a dual camera setup on its back panel. The latest smartphone by Realme competes with Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 7 handset, that was also launched in the country recently.
If you have made your choice between the two and decided to buy the Realme 3 smartphone, you will be happy to know that the device is all set to go on sale for the first time in India today. Here’s a look at the price, availability and specifications of the newly-launched Realme 3 smartphone:

HMD Global launched a number of smartphones at the recently concluded Mobile World Congress 2019 that was held in Barcelona, Spain. However, a device that was expected to launch but didn’t is Nokia 6.2 smartphone. However, some reports have surfaced online which claim that Nokia 6.2 smartphone will now be getting launched in springtime this year.
Considering that Spring usually extends from March to June, we should expect the Nokia 6.2 smartphone to be launched very soon. However, since there is no formal confirmation, the launch timeline is speculative and we suggest you take it with a grain of salt.
This news comes from a tipster on Twitter by the name of ‘Nokia anew’ and he also claims that the device will be priced close to the cost of Nokia 6.1 smartphone. As we mentioned earlier, he also said that HMD Global will be launching its Nokia 6.2 will be unveiled by the company in the forthcoming spring season.
To recall, Nokia 6.1 smartphone was launched in India last year and its price started at Rs 16,999. As of now, the device is being sold at a discounted price of Rs 11,999 for the base variant that has 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, and the high-end model that comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage will cost Rs 13,999.
Nokia 6.2 will be presented soon enough – in spring. So we don't have long to wait. The smartphone will probably be a hit, continuing the tradition of the 6 series. Nokia 6. is the best – selling series.
The price remains at the same level as in Nokia 6.1.#nokia6#exclusive
As of now, not much is known about the specifications of the Nokia 6.2 smartphone. According to reports, the Nokia 6.2 smartphone will come with a punch-hole display design, house a dual rear camera setup and be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 632 processor clubbed with 4GB or 6GB of RAM.
Speaking of Nokia 6.1 smartphone, it features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) IPS display and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 630 SoC. Although Nokia 6.1 mobile phone was launched with Android Oreo, it has been upgraded to Android Pie.
Nokia 6.1 smartphone sports a 16MP camera with Zeiss optics and a dual-tone LED flash. For selfies and video calls, there is an 8MP front-facing snapper. The smartphone comes with 32GB and 64GB internal storage and houses a 3,000mAh battery.
Chinese smartphone brand OnePlus is expected to launch its OnePlus 7 smartphone soon. Reports and rumours about the upcoming device have been circulating online for a couple of months now and because of them, we know that OnePlus 7 is expected to come with a pop-up selfie camera and will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor.
Recently, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that OnePlus 7 will not come with support for wireless charging. And today, he has confirmed another feature about the device. According to Lau, OnePlus 7 would not come with a 3.5mm headphone jack as the company wants to elaborate its wireless audio capabilities with the upcoming flagship smartphone.
He further added that the company wishes to polish its wireless headset experience, which basically means that we may get to see true wireless earbuds from OnePlus this year. However, we must add that till the time the company makes a formal announcement about the launch, this is just a speculation.
Lau took to Chinese social networking platform Weibo to confirm these plans and said that the removal of 3.5mm headphone jack from the flagship smartphones is a conscious decision. However, OnePlus CEO also believes that the wireless headset product line can be improved a lot before it is launched for the company’s fans. According to Lau, although the current product is “very good, it can be even more extreme.”
It will be safe to assume that this basically means that the company is planning to launch a rival of Apple AirPods and the Samsung Galaxy Buds.
As we mentioned earlier, a few days back, OnePlus CEO had also disclosed that the upcoming smartphone will not come with wireless charging. Instead, OnePlus 7 will come with the company’s own Warp Charging technology that was seen on OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition smartphone.
Lau also had a good reason for this. He said that till the time wireless charging will be able to charge devices without causing them to heat up, it would not be seen in smartphones by OnePlus. Taking pride in the company’s Warp charging, he said, “OnePlus charging is one of the best. Wireless charging is far inferior.”
The company has promised that the Push is capable of giving out full day worth of battery of up to 12 hours. But the 12 hours battery life is not offered by the earbuds alone as they offer only 6 hours of battery life, while the case of Skullcandy Push has 6 hours of battery life. So, if the earbud discharges after 6 hours, it can be charged again by keeping it in the case.
Also, the Skullcandy Push comes with a design which prevents from signal loss and offers a simple user interface. The Push also gives the user control over his media playback so that he can play/pause the media as per his needs. The buttons on the Push gives the user control over volume – the right button turns up the volume while the left turns it down. The press of any buttons picks up the call while the left earbud button lets the user cut the call.
The Skullcandy Push is also water resistant, and it also comes with Google Voice Assistant support. Triple click of any buttons on top of the earbuds would activate the Assistant.

With the ‘Screen Mirroring’ feature, the user can play the content of his smartphone to the TV. It works like the ScreenCast feature we have seen in multiple smart TVs. The Screen Mirror/Screen Cast allows the user to connect the TV with the smartphone using the Wi-Fi hotspot. The TV would then connect with the smartphone and project on its screen what the smartphone is showing.
Raju Pullan, Senior Vice President, Consumer Electronics Online Business of Samsung India, said “The new range of UHD TV line-up meets the growing expectations of our consumers by providing a 4K UHD TV with a host of smart features such as Live Cast, Tune Station, Smart Convergence and Lag-Free Gaming.

The new range of TVs from Samsung also brings more than 60,000 titles for the user to view. These titles contain national and international TV series, movies and other content. The titles offered comes in more than 10 languages. Seems like Samsung is playing the price game in the TV segment too and is ready to give something additional to the end user for a slightly higher price. Which we are sure many would not mind, as they get the Samsung brand sitting tight in their living rooms.
