Microsoft has launched the Lumia 650 Dual SIM in India, the newest phone to be launched in the country running Windows 10 after the 950 and 950 XL.
The Lumia 650 Dual SIM is a budget device, packing a 5-inch 720p OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 chipset, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage (expandable to 200GB), 8MP rear/5MP front cameras, 2000mAh battery, and Windows 10 out of the box.
The phone is priced at INR 15,299 ($230) and will be available in black and white color options.
The Marshmallow update for the OnePlus One is not only in the works, but is in its final testing stage. OnePlus co-founder took it to Twitter to share the good news.
Android 6.0 was promised to One users back in November last year, with a planned release date in Q1 2016, which obviously didn't happen. At this point it's still not entirely clear when the update will actually make it to the masses, as it's dependent on third parties, Carl Pei notes.
Meanwhile, a beta Marshmallow build can be downloaded for the OnePlus 2, for those who want to experiment.
The Apple Watch Hermes collection has already been available for many months now, both in stores and online. Yet what if you fancy one of those Hermes bands for the Apple Watch but don't want to buy it attached to an Apple Watch? Well, the two companies have actually thought of that possibility.
And from April 19 onwards you'll be able to purchase the Hermes bands separately, sans Apple Watch. The Single Tour versions of the bands will start at $340, while the Double Tour models will cost $490 (and are limited to the 38mm smartwatch). The 42mm Cuff design will set you back $690 and will only be available in the deer brown hue. Once again, for that money you're only getting a band, no smartwatch included.
Also from April 19, Hermes will expand the color versions for its bands with peacock blue, sapphire blue, white, and the Feu orange shade that's associated with the brand. These options will join the existing Fauve (deer brown), Etain (tin gray), Capucine (red), and Bleu Jean (blue) hues in the Hermes portfolio.
The Sony SmartWatch 3 is now receiving the Marshmallow update, aka Android Wear 1.4. In about a week, all SW3 users should have gotten the new update, which pushes Google that much closer to updating all Android Wear smartwatches to the new version (isn't it nice when OS updates are centralized like that?).
The 1.4 update brings support for calls using a loudspeaker (for those watches that have one), dictating messages for chat apps (Hangouts, WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat and a few more) and additional gesture support.
PS: The update will arrive over the air, but if you need it now, you can download it from here.
Domino's has launched a new app on iOS and Android, that takes all the work and effort out of ordering a pizza. With Zero Click, you can order your favorite pizza simply by opening the app.
The app saves your favorite pizza and all the other information required to send you the pizza. Once that is done, you just have to open the app. It waits for ten seconds so you can cancel if you opened the app accidentally, and then automatically places the order for the pizza you have set in your profile. It then displays your order info.
It is a very convenient way to order pizza if you're extremely sure what you want to order. Just make sure you save the app icon somewhere you or someone else won't accidentally launch it.
VR" has been the buzzword at tech events this year and since all the major headsets are heading to consumers soon, the battlefield moved to 360° cameras. Samsung demoed theGear 360 cam at its MWC announcement alongside the Galaxy S7, but we've been waiting until now for the price.
At $350 it's not very pricey for a brand-name action camera (it features IP53 certification). Note that the Samsung Gear 360 is not on sale yet, it's marked "Coming soon" with no exact date of launch.
Still, considering the LG 360 Cam is $200, the Samsung Gear 360 is almost double the cost.
The collaboration between Huawei and Leica paid off big time with the Huawei P9 and its unique camera setup. In case you missed it, it has two 12MP sensors - one for color and one black and white - which serve both to improve low-light performance and to create digital bokeh effects.
We have a couple of shots with the Huawei P9 Plus as well, but we didn't spend much time with it. Check out its samples here.
The dual-camera setup also does video, topping out at 1080p (instead of the expected 4K).
The camera is just one of Huawei P9's great features, read the full hands-on for more details (it includes the TalkBand B3 as a bonus too!).
Even though its next flagship smartphone has basically been leaked dozens of times already, HTC is continuing its teaser campaign for the handset. Soon the number of teasers put out for the HTC 10 will equal the number of leaks and rumors we've seen about it, at this rate.
Anyway, the newest HTC 10 teaser is a video once again, and this time around the main focus is the upcoming phone's camera. Is it a coincidence that HTC chose to release this teaser today of all days, mere hours after Huawei took the wraps off its camera-centric flagship duofor 2016? It's impossible to say, but the timing does kind of make today a big "smartphone camera" day.
According to HTC's claims, the HTC 10 will be "the best ever smartphone for shooting photos and videos". That's... quite a lot of promise to live up to, so hopefully the phone will be able to do that. We've seen a lot of great cameras on smartphones lately, so the HTC 10 should really impress in order to be worthy of this hype.
The video teaser is probably filled with HTC 10 sample shots - that said, a detailed analysis of the quality of these would be an exercise in futility, because the video has been compressed by Twitter, and the images themselves could have been compressed even before that, when they were added to the video. Obviously though they seem to look great, but then again all official photo samples from phone manufacturers usually do, let's not forget.
The HTC 10 will finally become official next week, on April 12. It's expected to sport a 5.1" or 5.2" touchscreen with QHD resolution, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 chipset, 4GB of RAM, at least 32GB of built-in storage, all the usual connectivity options, a fingerprint scanner, a 12 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front-facing unit, and it will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
When it comes do building apps, developers need extensive training in order to build even the simplest applications.
A developer named Kevin Burke submitted a request for the information regarding the iPad deployment and the app that randomizes an arrow to point either left or right for passengers to go through regular security or a faster TSA Pre-check
The information was available thanks to the Freedom of Information Act which allows anyone the right to certain aspects of Government information when requested. In any case, it took a while for anyone to reply, and finally, the TSA’s contract with IBM for the iPads and the development of the randomizer app was released to the public upon Kevin Burke’s request.
Upon further inspection, IBM's contract with the TSA totaled around $1.4 million dollars. The contract does not show us a breakdown of how much money was allocated to what. After some calculation, analysts estimate that the amount of money allocated to only the development of such an app roughly comes to about $336,413.59.
Of course, the TSA needs the most secure system it can get, and surely the organization needs an app that clocked many hours of rigorous testing in order to make the cut, but the TSA can probably yield the same result by flipping a coin.
Some modders at ComputerBild decided that the iPhone SE was stuck in a body much too old to be sold as a new phone. We don’t blame them, the iPhone 5 was introduced in fall of 2012 so it’s about 3 and a half years old.
These modders decided to buy an aftermarket housing for an iPhone 5(S) from AliExpress that you can use to effectively replace the iPhone SE’s outdated exterior. The new housing they chose features the iPhone 6(S)’s curvier appearance and it’s even outfitted with fake antenna lines.
Though, in order to perform this modification, you will have to say “goodbye” to your warranty as it requires you to hack your phone apart with a screwdriver. You will have to transplant all your phone’s components into a new body, so if you know your way around a #0 Philips screwdriver and a suction cup with a ring, then you might want to take a look at this mod.
Remember that build quality on the aftermarket mod-kit will not be up to par with Apple’s own standards. The Apple logo is a sticker and the lighting connector port is a little more recessed than flush. Also, this mod might not allow certain cases to fit properly.
Facebook has been doing a lot of construction behind the scenes. Particularly, Facebook’s Messenger has gained a lot of integration with different apps lately, gained GIF support, phone and video call support, and third party plug-ins like with Spotify and Uber are among the improvements made.
Facebook was also in talks of developing an infrastructure for businesses to communicate with their customers. Newegg is among the first companies to use Messenger for Business. All customers need to need to do to speak to a representative is to start a conversation with Newegg via Facebook.
Newegg will provide customers with support during its regular hours of operation: Monday through Friday from 8:30 TO 17:30 and Saturday from 8:30 to 17:00. Any messages received after or before regular hours will be answered on the next business day.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge stars in our latest video review, and in more than one ways. We shot the entire video of the Galaxy S7 Edge on a Galaxy S7 Edge to show you the depth of field from the insanely wide f/1.7 aperture.
But there's more to a good video than simply quality - the Galaxy S7's Pro mode came in quite handy. With it we were able to pinpoint manual focus, shutter speed and ISO and even fine tune the white balance depending on the light in the scene.
