Thanks to the rapid development in technology, mobile phones are evolving at a faster rate than ever before, and smartphone manufacturers have come a long way in terms of innovation. There are a plethora of smartphones at every price segment and users now have a wide range of options to choose from. Among the key pillars of the smartphone, audio quality also plays a vital role in a purchase decision and with now people working remotely and staying indoors, there is a significant rise in online video consumption. This, in turn, has given rise to the demand for richer smartphone audio quality that consumers do not want to compromise on.
To better understand consumer behaviour, a survey was conducted on what audio means for Indian consumers by CMR (CyberMedia Research) across six cities, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Ahmedabad. The focus of this survey was to understand how Indians are consuming content, the importance given to sound quality and what they seek going forward while purchasing their next smartphone.

A few years back, carrying out multitasking on a smartphone may have sounded like an absurd idea. But not any more! Like multiple cameras, the multiple display smartphones are another attempt by the phone manufacturer to take on multitasking to another level.
Unlike foldable phones, the dual-screen phones have two separate screens, which lets you run two different sets of apps simultaneously on the two screens, letting users multitask without having to minimise any of them. Sounds fun and productive right? Continue reading “LG G8X ThinQ: Two screens are better than one and here’s the proof”

Displays on smartphones and portable devices have come a long way in terms of innovation and at the same time, the choice/preference of users has also changed. The position of plastic displays on smartphones that were prevalent for a long time was gradually replaced by glass and it largely helped OEMs to improve the aesthetics of their devices. While it was largely adopted by users, protection was a concern as well which is when companies like Corning came up with ‘Gorilla Glass’ which is a brand of chemically strengthened glass. It was first introduced back in 2007 and with the launch of Gorilla Glass Victus, it is in its 7th generation now. In this article, let us see what the Gorilla Glass Victus is all about and how it is different from the previous generations. Continue reading “Corning Gorilla Glass Victus – All you need to know”

Over the past week, I’ve been using the OPPO Reno 3 Pro. If you ask anyone what the highlight of this phone is, they would say the dual punch hole 44MP camera at the front, but I’d say ColorOS 7.

ColorOS is what makes the OPPO devices very unique. As OPPO’s first smartphone with the latest ColorOS 7 on top of Android 10, the Reno 3 Pro gains an impressively updated look and feel, interestingly designed media and gaming features and important privacy and safety controls.
