The Government of India has banned 14 mobile apps in the country. These applications were mostly utilised in Jammu and Kashmir for the dissemination of terror. Some terrorist groups were using these apps for fostering terrorism in J&K. On the advice of security and intelligence agencies, the decision to ban the apps was made.
Below is the list of mobile apps that have been banned in India:
Crypviser
Enigma
Safeswiss
Wickrme
Mediafire
Briar
BChat
Nandbox
Conion
IMO
Element
Second line
Zangi
Threema
As we mentioned earlier the action was taken on the recommendation of intelligence agencies. The request for banning these apps was made known to the relevant ministry along with a list of apps that constitute a threat to national security. The 14 mobile apps have been banned under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act of 2000. According to sources, these applications were used by terror groups linked to Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir to stay in touch with their supporters and Over Ground Workers (OGW) and to receive orders from Pakistan. “Agencies keep track of channels used by Overground workers (OGWs) and terrorists to communicate among themselves. While tracking down one of the communication, agencies found that the mobile application does not have representatives in India and it is difficult to track down activities happening on the app. Thereafter, with the help of other intelligence agencies operating in the valley, a list of such apps was prepared that pose a threat to national security and do not follow Indian laws,” according to ANI.In the past, more than 200 apps, including TikTok, PUBG Mobile, and others, were banned in India. A quick recap: 59 Chinese apps were subject to the initial ban. TikTok, Shareit, Shein, WeChat, Club Factory, and more apps were on the list at that time. Under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, more than 118 apps, including PUBG, were blacklisted in the second round.

One of the biggest hurdles in making long-lasting devices is the battery unit. Simply put, batteries aren’t designed to last. Even a good battery unit will wear off and depreciate in quality. This is because a battery generates power through the movements of the ions within it, causing the electrodes to wear out over time. Sometimes, your phone may randomly turn off due to lack of power even though the battery indicator shows some charge left on the device. This is not your battery’s fault. Your smartphone tracks the charge on your battery and displays it on the screen. If this process isn’t carried out correctly, your phone may display the incorrect amount of charge on the screen. Luckily, it can be fixed. In this article, we show you how to calibrate the battery on your Android phone or tablet.Read Also:Samsung to bring more health monitoring features based on Skin Temperature Sensor

Android and iOS are the two biggest mobile operating systems in the world. While there may be a few other OS out there, they occupy far too little market share to be considered in the same discussion as Android and iOS. These two operating systems have their own app markets, Google Play Store and App Store. While most mainstream apps are available on both platforms, there are some exclusive niche apps that can only be found on one of the platforms. If you’re an iOS user looking for Android-exclusive apps, here are some ways you can get Android apps on your iPhone.Read Also:My Dream11 Withdrawal Failed, What Should I Do Next?

Use Apowermirror
While there is no direct way to install Android apps on an iPhone, you can still utilise some workarounds to carry out this task. One of the best ways you can use Android apps on your iPhone is by mirroring your Android phone’s display on your iPhone. Apowermirror allows you to cast your phone’s display across different platforms. The only prerequisite for using this app is that both devices must be connected to the same WiFi network. Once that is taken care of, follow these steps.Step 1: Download and install Apowermirror on your Android and iOS devices.Step 2: Tap on the blue icon that says ‘Mirror’ on your Android device.Step 3: Apowermirror will begin searching for other devices on the network. Select your iPhone from the list to begin mirroring your Android phone’s display.
Use an Android emulator
This may be a far-fetched way to run Android apps on your iPhone, but it works. Emulators like iAndroid allow you to simulate the Android environment on your iPhone, which means you can use all the Android apps on your iOS device. The only catch is that you will need to jailbreak your iPhone to install an Android emulator on it. Jailbreaking your iPhone compromises the security of your device and prevents you from installing any software updates on it. It also instantly nulls the warranty of your device.
Find an iOS version of the Android app
This may seem too obvious a solution, but most Android apps have an iOS version for iPhone as well. The app market for both operating systems is pretty evenly matched. If you cannot find the iOS version of an Android app, try looking for similar apps on the App Store. This will rarely ever be an issue because almost every mainstream app is available on iOS. However, some niche apps may be absent on Apple’s platform. We ran into this problem while looking for some specific video editing apps on the App Store. If you cannot find an app by its exact name, try searching for the publisher. It is possible that the app may be listed under a different name on iOS.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run Android apps on an iPhone?
Yes, you can run Android apps on your iPhone by using a screen mirroring app on an Android emulator. To use an Android emulator on your iPhone, you will first need to jailbreak your device.
Can APK files run on iOS?
APK files are strictly based on Android OS and cannot run on any iOS device.

We have seen a lot of TWS earbuds with almost the same design. But premium audio devices from the companies like Apple, Sony and Samsung offer the best audio experience. Every year TWS devices like Apple Airpods and Galaxy Buds come with almost similar appearances bringing some incremental changes over multiple generations. But the recently released Nothing Ear 1 and Ear 2 TWS earbuds have drawn a lot of praise for their exceptional audio quality as well as their distinctive transparent design that sets them apart from the competition. Considering the competition seriously going forward, Apple will take the ‘Nothing’ route.You must now be wondering why the biggest tech company in the world would copy a company which is just two or three years old. But what we said earlier is unquestionably accurate. Apple is getting ready for its upcoming release. All thanks to a recently completely removed Amazon listing that announced the upcoming release of Beats Studio Buds+. Even before the product’s launch, a lot of information—including its cost, design, and specifications—had accidentally leaked.Nothing was attacked by many for copying Apple. But the tech giant’s upcoming Beats Studio Buds+ design will be inspired by Nothing’s Ear 1 and Ear 1 earbuds.Also Read:Nothing Ear (2) reviewAs we said earlier Beats Studio Buds+ was spotted listed on Amazon. The listing confirms that the design of the Buds+ will be very much inspired by Nothing earphones. They will have a transparent design and will be a sportier variant of the original Studio Buds+ that debuted in 2021. For those who are unaware Beats is owned by Apple and was acquired in 2014.This means unlike the Apple AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds+ will feature a stemless design, a plastic body and a lot more like its original model but this time everything will be transparent. As per the Amazon listing the device will be offered in two colourways: Black and Ivory.In terms of specs and features, Beats Studio Buds+ are likely to offer up to 36 hours of battery life when charged completely. In addition to this, there will be an improved venting system and 3x bigger mics, therefore the ear pressure as well as calling experience will be better than the previous ones.The ANC will perform 1.6x better while the Transparent mode will be improved by 2x. They will also feature an IPX4 rating and are said to support Hey Siri support, Find My integration, automatic device switching, and one-touch pairing. Note that the audio device will not only be compatible with Apple devices but with Android too.In terms of pricing, the Beats Studio Buds+ will be available at $169.95. Moreover, the Amazon listing also revealed that shipping will begin on May 18.

If you’re an active Twitter user, you may have seen the word ‘Bluesky’ pop up in your feed frequently for the last few days. Simply put, Bluesky is a Twitter alternative that is currently enjoying a lot of popularity among Twitter users. Initially launched on the iOS platform, Bluesky now has an Android app as well. This has subjected it to a whole new user base, which is now creating a lot of buzz around it. Since you need an invite code to create an account on Bluesky, more people are posting on Twitter looking for these codes. From the looks of it, Bluesky isn’t just the flavour of the month. It may be here to stay. In this article, we go into detail about what Bluesky is, how it works, and how you can get an invite to it.Read Also:WhatsApp released Lock Chats feature to boost privacy: Details inside
In This Article
What is Bluesky?
One of the reasons why Bluesky is taking off as a viable Twitter alternative when many others (like Mastodon) have failed is because it looks very similar to Twitter. This is because Bluesky was launched as a Twitter spin-off by then-CEO Jack Dorsey. Announced in 2019, Bluesky is a decentralised version of Twitter that allows users to host their domain name on a server of their choice. Since it is decentralised, Bluesky users can create their own communities on the platform by hosting new servers for other users. Users can also choose which algorithm they want to adopt within the platform.As of now, Bluesky does not have features like direct messaging or bookmarks but its UI is very similar to Twitter. If you’re wondering why Bluesky isn’t a part of Twitter anymore, it’s because the decentralised network was listed as a separate entity in 2021. Twitter has undergone radical changes since its change of ownership in 2022. Some of these changes have not gone down well with users, who are desperately looking for a new alternative. Since Bluesky looks and feels very close to Twitter, it may be the platform to which most Twitter users migrate.Since the social media platform is still developing moderation tools, users can only sign up on an invite basis for now. You can join the waitlist for an invite, or get one from an existing member on Bluesky.
How to get a Bluesky invite?
Getting a Bluesky invite isn’t that easy. You can try joining the waitlist and wait for your turn. Or you can look around the Internet for invite codes. First, let’s see how you can join the Bluesky waitlist.Step 1: Download and install the Bluesky app on your phone.Step 2: Tap on ‘Create new account’.Step 3: Select the hosting provider. You can either go for the default Bluesky server or enter the hosting provider of your choice.Step 4: If you have an invite code, enter it in the relevant box. If you don’t have an invite code, tap on ‘Join the waitlist’.Step 5: Enter your email and select ‘Join waitlist’. You will receive an invite in your mail when your turn arrives.If you cannot wait to get your hands on an invite code, there are a few things you can do. Like most people, you can try posting on Twitter for Bluesky invite codes. Since there is a vast overlap between the user base of the two platforms, someone may have an unused invite code for you. You can also look for a Bluesky invite code on other places on the Internet. The subreddit r/blueskyinvite is one such place. You can either submit a new post asking for an invite code or comment on their pinned mega thread. Since the invite codes are in high demand, people are willing to get their hands on one by paying for it. We wouldn’t suggest doing this because it encourages scammers to deceive people with fake invite codes. Secondly, Bluesky will not always be invite-based. Eventually, everyone will be able to create an account on the platform. So it is not worth paying for an invite code right now.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bluesky the new Twitter?
Bluesky started off as an internal project on Twitter and later got listed as a separate entity in 2021. Recently, more people have started migrating to Bluesky from Twitter leading to people calling it Twitter 2.0.
How do I get a Bluesky invite?
Right now, the only way to get an invite is by joining the waitlist. You can look for an invite code on the Internet, but make sure you don’t pay for one as it may be a scam.

Back in March, Nokia put out its newest entry-level smartphone on the market at a special introductory price of Rs 5,999. A month later, Nokia C12 is priced at Rs 6,499. For those wanting to upgrade from a feature phone, this smartphone offers decent specs on paper. But how does the device fare on day-to-day usage? We used Nokia C12 for a week and may have some answers for you. Here is our Nokia C12 review.Read Also:Fastrack Revoltt FS1 Pro with an arched AMOLED display now available in India

Nokia C12 review: Design and Display
Upon unboxing the retail package, you will find the Nokia C12 handset, a 10W power adapter, a micro USB charging cable, a product and safety info booklet, and a quick start guide. The smartphone weighs 177g and has dimensions of 160.6mm x 74.3mm x 8.8m.Nokia has kept the design of the C12 quite simple and in line with the C-Series. This means that the C12 gets a textured plastic back and a two-step camera island. Housed in this camera island is an 8MP camera and an LED flash. The speaker has been placed at the bottom left corner of the back panel, similar to other C-Series smartphones.Nokia C12 gets an IPS LCD HD display up front. This display is surrounded by sizeable bezels that get thicker around the chin. The 5MP selfie camera has been placed in a dewdrop notch at the centre of the display. On the left edge of the plastic frame, you will find the volume rocker keys and the power button. The 3.5mm headphone jack has been placed up top and the microphone and the micro USB charging slot have been positioned at the bottom of the phone. Still no Type-C USB charging for Nokia C-Series smartphones.If you’re trying to locate the SIM tray and the memory card slot, there is one little surprise for you. Nokia C12 has a removable plastic back, similar to the smartphones of the yesteryears. Removing the back will give you access to the SIM and memory card slots. The 2,950mAh battery unit is also removable and can be replaced if it ever malfunctions. This is a pretty decent option to have on an entry-level smartphone as it gives the user an option to simply purchase a new battery unit instead of splurging money on repair costs.The 6.3-inch IPS LCD display is one of the brighter highlights of the smartphone. If you’re stepping up from a feature phone primarily to watch content on a bigger screen, this display will suit you well. We streamed HD content on YouTube and the image quality produced by the display was decent. The colours were rich and offered a good level of contrast. The speaker focuses more on the higher frequencies and the bass tends to get lost in the background. We would suggest using a pair of headphones while watching content on Nokia C12.The touch response offered by the display is below average. Gesture navigation did not work smoothly for us, so we had to revert to three-button navigation on this device. Sometimes, the touches failed to register while typing. The haptic triggers feel a bit too blunt and need to be dialled down.What we like is that even though it is an entry-level smartphone, Nokia has equipped this smartphone with a scratch-resistant glass panel. The company also claims that the phone is splash resistant, which means it can survive light rainfall and minor spills.
Nokia C12 review: Performance and Cameras
Nokia C12 comes in a single storage variant of 2GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. The smartphone is powered by the Unisoc SC9863A1 chipset and comes with stock Android 12 Go Edition. The ‘Go Edition’ for Android is a lightweight version of the OS that is designed keeping entry-level devices in mind.When it comes to daily tasks like texting, calling, checking emails, and streaming videos and music, Nokia C12 performs decently. However, multitasking can take a hit on the average speed. With music playing in the background, the navigation speed slows down a little. Running multiple apps has the same effect and can even warm up the smartphone slightly. In the AnTuTu benchmark test, Nokia C12 scored 97059 points.We didn’t expect much from Nokia C12 when it came to gaming, but the smartphone handled basic games like Subway Surfers and Candy Crush pretty well. It struggled with games like Garena Free Fire Max which are graphically demanding. The touch response also could not keep up with the gameplay.The OS experience on Nokia C12 is neat but even the lightweight Go Edition isn’t spared of bloatware. While Netflix comes preinstalled on the device, the software installs more apps while the phone is being set up. Bloatware aside, the stock Android experience is pretty decent. There are a handful of customisation options available for wallpaper and app drawer. You can manage camera and microphone permissions for all apps in the privacy settings. Digital Wellbeing and parental controls are also integrated into Android 12 Go Edition.The 2,950 mAh battery unit on Nokia C12 offers an all-day power backup. If you use the smartphone conservatively, you can even push the power back up to 2 days. On moderate to heavy usage that included watching HD video content, playing music, and light gaming, the phone lasted an entire day with 20-30% battery still in the bank. The lack of a USB Type-C charging port is a letdown on otherwise decent battery performance.Moving on, you get a sole 8MP primary camera at the back and a 5MP selfie camera up front. The camera app has a Night Mode for low-light photography, a Portrait Mode for close-up shots, and a Timelapse feature to record videos at a slower speed.The camera performance is nothing to write home about. Let’s start with the good aspects. The colours produced in the images are quite decent and make the photographs look lively. If you’re going to be using the camera a lot, make sure there’s ample light falling on the subject. The C12 does a good job of processing the colours on the images. The contrast level and white balance were satisfactory.However, when it comes to the details captured by the sensor, there is a lot that is left to be desired. Of course, you wouldn’t expect the sharpest images from an entry-level smartphone, but the images we took seemed blurry and had very little detail to them. Even in bright daylight, the camera struggled to produce sharp images.There is a Night Mode on the camera app, which does surprisingly well to light up the images, but the result is very grainy and blurred. The Portrait Mode performs well and is able to produce images with rich colours and some degree of focus on the subject.Night ModePortrait ModeFor an entry-level smartphone, Nokia C12 has a pretty good selfie camera. With optimum lighting, the camera is able to produce decent selfies with a good level of colour optimisation. The smartphone doesn’t mess with the skin tones while processing the images, which is a good thing to see.

Verdict
At a price of Rs 6,499, Nokia C12 offers a very decent performance with an average camera. If you are primarily concerned with watching HD content on a big screen, you should go for this smartphone. If having a good camera is a non-negotiable parameter for you, then we’d suggest going for higher-placed entry-level C-Series smartphones like C31 (review) and C21 Plus (review). Overall, Nokia C12 is more suited for people who are upgrading from a feature phone and want to enjoy a big display phone with good battery life.

Fastrack Revoltt FS1 review: Design and display
Although the Green colour option we received is stylish, there are three more colour possibilities as well – Black, Blue, and Teal. The smartwatch has a polycarbonate casing, which contributes to its high build quality and makes it both lightweight and durable. It weighs 41.9 grams. Neither thick nor thin describes the dial. It comes with a 22mm silicon strap, and the quality of the strap is excellent. So far, we have not had any skin rashes or discomfort. You have the option to attach additional straps in accordance with your preferred hue because the straps are detachable.The watch is IP68 water and dust resistant, making it safe to use outside and capable of withstanding submersion up to one metre deep. Just below the upper left corner of the frame, there is an integrated speaker. The microphone is placed just opposite to the speaker.This watch feels great in the hand and has a fashionable appearance. Featured on the Fastrack Revoltt FS1 is a 1.83-inch, 2.5D curved Ultra VU display. It has a resolution of 240×248 pixels and a maximum brightness of 500 nits. We had no issues utilising it indoors.However, the display is sufficiently bright such that text and icons can be seen, even in bright sunshine. On the other hand, the curved screen gives it a good luxury feel. The screen also experienced tiny scratches during our usage. The screen’s bezels are symmetrical on all four sides.
Fastrack Revoltt FS1 review: Performance
Fastrack Revoltt FS1’s user interface is surprisingly responsive for the cost. You can switch watch faces by maintaining finger contact with the home screen. Swiping right brings up the menu while swiping left brings up My Fitness, which displays the number of steps, calories burned, and distance travelled. You may also access the weather, HR tracking, and sleep tracker by continuing to swipe. Finally, it shows your music player so you can use your wrist to control the music playing on your smartphone.Both the Play Store and the App Store both offer the Fastrack Reflex app. Your heart rate and other monitoring data are displayed here, along with other activities.Also read:OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite review: Is it a fully loaded package?With this watch, the app offers more than 200 watch faces divided into various categories. It can be changed within the app itself. The app gives you the option to store any watch face and add it to your wishlist. You have the choice to set your photo as a custom watch face under the custom watch face optionMore than 110 sports modes are included with the Fastrack Revoltt FS1.

While there is no direct way to install Android apps on an iPhone, you can still utilise some workarounds to carry out this task. One of the best ways you can use Android apps on your iPhone is by mirroring your Android phone’s display on your iPhone. Apowermirror allows you to cast your phone’s display across different platforms. The only prerequisite for using this app is that both devices must be connected to the same WiFi network. Once that is taken care of, follow these steps.
Step 1: Download and install Apowermirror on your Android and iOS devices.
Step 2: Tap on the blue icon that says ‘Mirror’ on your Android device.
Step 3: Apowermirror will begin searching for other devices on the network. Select your iPhone from the list to begin mirroring your Android phone’s display.
This may be a far-fetched way to run Android apps on your iPhone, but it works. Emulators like iAndroid allow you to simulate the Android environment on your iPhone, which means you can use all the Android apps on your iOS device. The only catch is that you will need to jailbreak your iPhone to install an Android emulator on it. Jailbreaking your iPhone compromises the security of your device and prevents you from installing any software updates on it. It also instantly nulls the warranty of your device.
This may seem too obvious a solution, but most Android apps have an iOS version for iPhone as well. The app market for both operating systems is pretty evenly matched. If you cannot find the iOS version of an Android app, try looking for similar apps on the App Store. This will rarely ever be an issue because almost every mainstream app is available on iOS. However, some niche apps may be absent on Apple’s platform. We ran into this problem while looking for some specific video editing apps on the App Store. If you cannot find an app by its exact name, try searching for the publisher. It is possible that the app may be listed under a different name on iOS.
Step 3: Select your country and enter your landline number. Tap on ‘Next’.
Step 4: Confirm that your number is correct and hit ‘OK’.
Step 5: WhatsApp will send you a verification code as a text to finish the registration process. Since your landline cannot receive text messages, choose the ‘Call me’ option instead. You may have to wait for a few seconds before you are allowed to choose this option.
Step 6: Answer your landline when it rings and enter the code on WhatsApp.
Once you have entered the code, your landline number will be registered on WhatsApp. You can proceed to set up your account and start using WhatsApp.
If you don’t own a fixed line (landline) phone, you can still create a WhatsApp account without using your number. There are several online services that allow you to use a virtual number without needing to buy a physical SIM card. One of the leading virtual phone number apps in India is ‘Doosra’. You will need to subscribe to a monthly plan to start using the virtual number issued to you by Doosra. You can use this number to make calls, send texts, and even register to WhatsApp. Once you get a virtual number, you can follow the steps mentioned above to create a WhatsApp account. Instead of a landline number, simply enter your virtual number. Click on this link to begin using Doosra. For other ‘virtual number’ services, read this article.
Step 2: Tap on ‘My Balance’.
Step 3: In the ‘My Winnings’ section, tap on ‘Verify to withdraw’.
Step 4: Verify your email, PAN card, and bank account details to withdraw your winnings.
Step 5: Once all details have been verified, enter the amount you want to withdraw from your winnings.
You must have a minimum of Rs 50 in winnings to withdraw an amount. For account verification, you need at least Rs 100 in winnings.
If you’re unable to withdraw money from your Dream11 winnings, there may be several reasons behind it. As mentioned earlier, you need at least Rs 50 in winnings to withdraw an amount from Dream11. You are only allowed to make 3 withdrawals a day. The sum total of these withdrawals cannot exceed Rs 1 crore. If you try making more withdrawals, the transaction will keep on failing. Wait for the cooldown period to be over in order to proceed. You can only withdraw your winnings and not the cash bonus credited to your account. After you have made a withdrawal request, it can take up to 3 business days for the amount to get credited to your bank account.
If you’ve met all the prerequisites and still aren’t able to withdraw your winnings, try these fixes.
One of the reasons why Bluesky is taking off as a viable Twitter alternative when many others (like Mastodon) have failed is because it looks very similar to Twitter. This is because Bluesky was launched as a Twitter spin-off by then-CEO Jack Dorsey. Announced in 2019, Bluesky is a decentralised version of Twitter that allows users to host their domain name on a server of their choice. Since it is decentralised, Bluesky users can create their own communities on the platform by hosting new servers for other users. Users can also choose which algorithm they want to adopt within the platform.
As of now, Bluesky does not have features like direct messaging or bookmarks but its UI is very similar to Twitter. If you’re wondering why Bluesky isn’t a part of Twitter anymore, it’s because the decentralised network was listed as a separate entity in 2021. Twitter has undergone radical changes since its change of ownership in 2022. Some of these changes have not gone down well with users, who are desperately looking for a new alternative. Since Bluesky looks and feels very close to Twitter, it may be the platform to which most Twitter users migrate.
Since the social media platform is still developing moderation tools, users can only sign up on an invite basis for now. You can join the waitlist for an invite, or get one from an existing member on Bluesky.
Step 3: Select the hosting provider. You can either go for the default Bluesky server or enter the hosting provider of your choice.
Step 4: If you have an invite code, enter it in the relevant box. If you don’t have an invite code, tap on ‘Join the waitlist’.
Step 5: Enter your email and select ‘Join waitlist’. You will receive an invite in your mail when your turn arrives.
If you cannot wait to get your hands on an invite code, there are a few things you can do. Like most people, you can try posting on Twitter for Bluesky invite codes. Since there is a vast overlap between the user base of the two platforms, someone may have an unused invite code for you.
You can also look for a Bluesky invite code on other places on the Internet. The subreddit r/blueskyinvite is one such place. You can either submit a new post asking for an invite code or comment on their pinned mega thread. Since the invite codes are in high demand, people are willing to get their hands on one by paying for it. We wouldn’t suggest doing this because it encourages scammers to deceive people with fake invite codes. Secondly, Bluesky will not always be invite-based. Eventually, everyone will be able to create an account on the platform. So it is not worth paying for an invite code right now.
Instagram’s Quiet Mode is a great tool for people who are easily distracted by Insta notifications. Quiet Mode pauses all DM notifications, letting you focus on your daily activities. When it is enabled, the green dot on your profile that signifies you are online on Instagram is replaced with a moon icon. This is super helpful because it lets your followers know that you can’t see message notifications on your device. If anyone messages you, they will receive an auto-reply explaining to them that you cannot see the notification alerts for their messages. In case of an emergency, they can contact you elsewhere.
You can choose the timing for Quiet Mode as well. By default, Quiet Mode is tuned to kick in at 11 pm and last till 7 am. The timing can be changed in Settings. Quiet Mode can be customised to be enabled at certain hours of the day, like when you have classes or when you are studying at home.
Once you halt Quiet Mode, you will be presented with a report of all the messages and notifications you received while you were away. Quiet Mode is a handy tool for students who want to focus on studying without being distracted by Instagram. You can use it to increase productivity and take frequent breaks from Instagram without having to delete your profile.

Nokia has kept the design of the C12 quite simple and in line with the C-Series. This means that the C12 gets a textured plastic back and a two-step camera island. Housed in this camera island is an 8MP camera and an LED flash. The speaker has been placed at the bottom left corner of the back panel, similar to other C-Series smartphones.
Nokia C12 gets an IPS LCD HD display up front. This display is surrounded by sizeable bezels that get thicker around the chin. The 5MP selfie camera has been placed in a dewdrop notch at the centre of the display. On the left edge of the plastic frame, you will find the volume rocker keys and the power button. The 3.5mm headphone jack has been placed up top and the microphone and the micro USB charging slot have been positioned at the bottom of the phone. Still no Type-C USB charging for Nokia C-Series smartphones.
If you’re trying to locate the SIM tray and the memory card slot, there is one little surprise for you. Nokia C12 has a removable plastic back, similar to the smartphones of the yesteryears. Removing the back will give you access to the SIM and memory card slots. The 2,950mAh battery unit is also removable and can be replaced if it ever malfunctions. This is a pretty decent option to have on an entry-level smartphone as it gives the user an option to simply purchase a new battery unit instead of splurging money on repair costs.
The 6.3-inch IPS LCD display is one of the brighter highlights of the smartphone. If you’re stepping up from a feature phone primarily to watch content on a bigger screen, this display will suit you well. We streamed HD content on YouTube and the image quality produced by the display was decent. The colours were rich and offered a good level of contrast. The speaker focuses more on the higher frequencies and the bass tends to get lost in the background. We would suggest using a pair of headphones while watching content on Nokia C12.
The touch response offered by the display is below average. Gesture navigation did not work smoothly for us, so we had to revert to three-button navigation on this device. Sometimes, the touches failed to register while typing. The haptic triggers feel a bit too blunt and need to be dialled down.
What we like is that even though it is an entry-level smartphone, Nokia has equipped this smartphone with a scratch-resistant glass panel. The company also claims that the phone is splash resistant, which means it can survive light rainfall and minor spills.
When it comes to daily tasks like texting, calling, checking emails, and streaming videos and music, Nokia C12 performs decently. However, multitasking can take a hit on the average speed. With music playing in the background, the navigation speed slows down a little. Running multiple apps has the same effect and can even warm up the smartphone slightly. In the AnTuTu benchmark test, Nokia C12 scored 97059 points.
We didn’t expect much from Nokia C12 when it came to gaming, but the smartphone handled basic games like Subway Surfers and Candy Crush pretty well. It struggled with games like Garena Free Fire Max which are graphically demanding. The touch response also could not keep up with the gameplay.
The OS experience on Nokia C12 is neat but even the lightweight Go Edition isn’t spared of bloatware. While Netflix comes preinstalled on the device, the software installs more apps while the phone is being set up. Bloatware aside, the stock Android experience is pretty decent. There are a handful of customisation options available for wallpaper and app drawer. You can manage camera and microphone permissions for all apps in the privacy settings. Digital Wellbeing and parental controls are also integrated into Android 12 Go Edition.
The 2,950 mAh battery unit on Nokia C12 offers an all-day power backup. If you use the smartphone conservatively, you can even push the power back up to 2 days. On moderate to heavy usage that included watching HD video content, playing music, and light gaming, the phone lasted an entire day with 20-30% battery still in the bank. The lack of a USB Type-C charging port is a letdown on otherwise decent battery performance.
Moving on, you get a sole 8MP primary camera at the back and a 5MP selfie camera up front. The camera app has a Night Mode for low-light photography, a Portrait Mode for close-up shots, and a Timelapse feature to record videos at a slower speed.
The camera performance is nothing to write home about. Let’s start with the good aspects. The colours produced in the images are quite decent and make the photographs look lively. If you’re going to be using the camera a lot, make sure there’s ample light falling on the subject. The C12 does a good job of processing the colours on the images. The contrast level and white balance were satisfactory.
However, when it comes to the details captured by the sensor, there is a lot that is left to be desired. Of course, you wouldn’t expect the sharpest images from an entry-level smartphone, but the images we took seemed blurry and had very little detail to them. Even in bright daylight, the camera struggled to produce sharp images.
There is a Night Mode on the camera app, which does surprisingly well to light up the images, but the result is very grainy and blurred. The Portrait Mode performs well and is able to produce images with rich colours and some degree of focus on the subject.
The watch is IP68 water and dust resistant, making it safe to use outside and capable of withstanding submersion up to one metre deep. Just below the upper left corner of the frame, there is an integrated speaker. The microphone is placed just opposite to the speaker.
This watch feels great in the hand and has a fashionable appearance. Featured on the Fastrack Revoltt FS1 is a 1.83-inch, 2.5D curved Ultra VU display. It has a resolution of 240×248 pixels and a maximum brightness of 500 nits. We had no issues utilising it indoors.
However, the display is sufficiently bright such that text and icons can be seen, even in bright sunshine. On the other hand, the curved screen gives it a good luxury feel. The screen also experienced tiny scratches during our usage. The screen’s bezels are symmetrical on all four sides.
We could easily hear the audio, which indicates that the audio quality is good. Additionally, you have single sync BT calling, which pairs as soon as your smartwatch is connected to your phone.
The device also includes a total of 4 games, including 2048, Jigsaw Puzzle, Racing, and Discoloration.
Let’s now discuss the health monitoring features. The Fastrack Revoltt FS1 also provides stress monitoring, sleep tracking, and 24-hour heart monitoring. Users also get automatic HR and automatic stress monitoring with this, which can be turned on and off via its app. We examined the sensor’s precision, and according to our opinion, it is fairly accurate. However, we advise not using it in case of a medical emergency; instead, you should seek immediate medical attention.

The Revoltt FS1 includes fast charging in this price range. Its battery life can be extended by one day with a rapid charge in just ten minutes. So, if your watch is accidentally uncharged and switched off, you can quickly charge it. With heavy use, it offers a battery life of three to four days.
