During the recently held Google I/O keynote, there were several updates and innovations announced by Google. One of them was a smarter workspace for all kinds of users. This is a specially useful upgrade, in the current work from home scenario. They call it the ‘Smart Canvas’. After launching Google Docs and Sheets in 2006, Google has almost 15 years of workspace experience, Now its goal is to make the experience much better for everyone. Source: Google Introduced by Google’s Javier Soltero, the update is basically built on Google Documents which allows people to connect using building blocks, making them interact with each other on projects and work easily. Somewhat similar to Coda, it uses pre-existing templates(you can also customize your own) to tell people in detail what exactly they need to do. Javier explained with the example of a distributive team using Smart Canvas to plan an important Marketing campaign. The simplified steps to use this workspace include starting a Document ...

Several days ago a leaked image, comparing prices of different flagships, suggested $749 (around €610) price tag of the OnePlus 6 with 256 GB. Today more specs leaked, including the chipset, RAM storage, and dual camera setup. According to the listing, ONEPLUS 6 will sport a 6.28” AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2280 x 1080, which unsurprisingly is the same panel as on the Oppo R15. The SoC is expected to be Snapdragon 845, though, with its CPU clocked at 2.7 GHz. The rear camera of the OnePlus 6 is listed as 16 MP + 20 MP with an f/1.7 aperture on both lenses, which is exactly the same setup as the predecessor OnePlus 5T. The selfie snapper has been boosted with a 20 MP sensor behind an f/2.0 lens. Next to storage, we see 6 GB + 128 GB, which would be a combo we haven’t seen since the One Plus 5T, introduced 1.5 years ago. OS is listed as Android 8.1, most likely with Oxygen OS on top (or Hydrogen OS for China-only devices). Anothe...

We are seeing SD 636 in action for the first time on any phone. It's giving a flagship phone's specifications to the mid-range devices. Its also having a flagship grade CPU Kryo 260.  Xiaomi is a company who try to provide new processors to its customers for a good price. It's sad that Xiaomi copied the iPhone X camera design. Xiaomi is so hyped about its camera and they even get overboard by comparing it with iPhone X and Pixel 2XL. We have to see its camera performance. But by seeing the sample I'm very much happy with the Xiaomi's job.  This phone is full of great ...

Its good to see that Xiaomi has scrapped the 2gb ram variant this time. Redmi Note 4 was really a beast and according to ...

With smartphone displays getting larger and moving to an 18:9 aspect ratio and display bezels shrinking at the same time, there is hardly any space left at the front of new devices for physical controls or other components. 2018 smartphones will have thinner bezels than the ones we saw in 2017. Smartphones in 2019 will have even thinner bezels and slowly but surely, smartphone makers will get rid of all the bezels and start making devices with “all screen no bezels” design. This brings the question, where will all sensors, fingerprint, front-facing camera and speakers go? All companies are coming up with their solution. Under screen fingerprint sensors Recently, Vivo unveils worlds first under screen fingerprint sensor phone. That's a big leap towards the future. In coming to future Samsung, Apple, One plus etc will also join the league. We would love to see a company come up with a screen glass which can be used as fingerprint sensor with no additional components. Und...

1) Less bezel In 2018, we are going to see more phones with 18:9 screen aspect ratio. They will not be completely bezel-less. All mobile companies will try to achieve 18:9 aspect ratio by shirking remaining bezel at the top and at the bottom. But I would love to see a phone manufacturer by coming up with more than 99% of the screen to body ratio. 2) Artificial Intelligence Our phones are going to be smarter than ever before by machine learning. This year will we are going to see more improvements in machine learning. We all know how much possibilities can be achieve by machine learning. Google has already shown us that how much machine learning can do for us by taking Portrait Images with just a single camera. And we are going to see this type of improvement by AI in this year. 3) Foldable phones I know I'm being greedy but that's hard to achieve this year but it's not impossible. Samsung is going to unveil its folding device and many companies are on the li...
