In the age of the smartphone, we’ve become accustomed to knowing where our loved ones are at all times. This can be seen as positive and negative, depending on how you look at it. One negative could be that a loss of contact for any period of time can…
Late last year we saw the introduction of a useful little app called AutoTools, dubbed ‘Tasker Plus” by its developer, Joaomgcd. The AutoTools plugin adds to Tasker’s already large feature set, with the ability to change certain system settings and control different toggles. Joao has been busy working on an upgrade, and now version 2.0 is upon us, which includes web screens, a navigation drawer, and HTML reading capabilities.
AutoTools 2.0 is now available, featuring web screens, HTML read, and more was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
If you’re in the market for a new Micro-USB cable and don’t want to spend a lot on it, Ventev’s 3.3ft option is a perfect one to consider. The cable has a flat, tangle-free design, and right now you can pick one up for just $6.

Exclusive version of Huawei’s latest wearable will set you back €795 ($925).
You could be forgiven for forgetting all about the Huawei Porsche Design Smartwatch, a footnote at the company’s Mobile World Congress press conference back in February. But now the watch is actually available to buy, with the listing on Porsche Design’s official site having quietly gone up in the past 24 hours.
Porsche Design’s first smartwatch will set you back a cool €795 ($925) — not a huge amount by luxury watch standards, or Porsche Design standards — but around double the cost of the non-PD Huawei Watch Classic, upon which it’s based. There are European and UK SKUs available direct from Porsche Design, but no words when (or if) the watch will be heading to American shores. (The $1,500 Porsche Design Mate 9 never came to the U.S., so maybe don’t hold your breath.)
Aside from the extra branding and design flair, you’re effectively getting a Huawei Watch 2 Classic with some extr…
Nokia 8 will be unveiled in London on August 16.
Nokia’s re-entry into the world of smartphones via HMD Global saw the brand focus on the budget segment, but the manufacturer’s first flagship running Android will be unveiled next month. As noted by The Verge, HMD Global is sending out media invites for a launch event in London on August 16, where it will unveil its flagship device — the Nokia 8.
Based on recent leaks, the Nokia 8 will feature dual 13MP cameras at the back with Carl Zeiss optics, along with a 5.3-inch QHD display, snapdragon 835, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 64GB storage. The phone is likely to run Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box.
The Nokia 8 will be offered in at least three color options — blue, silver, and gold. Leaked renders show off a design aesthetic similar to Lumias of old, a fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button, capacitive navigation keys, and generous bezels. The phone is rumored to cost in the vicinity of $600, and with the launch …
Yi’s products finally make their debut in India.
You no longer have to go through Chinese resellers to get your hands on Yi Technology’s excellent home and action cameras as the brand is now offering its products directly on Amazon India.
The Xiaomi-backed manufacturer is currently listing two internet-connected home security cameras — a dome camera with a 720p imaging sensor and 360-degree field of view that retails for ₹4,490 and a 180-degree camera with a 720p sensor for just ₹2,999. The dome camera has pan, zoom, and tilt options, and you can configure it to send alerts if it detects any motion in a room.
As for action cameras, you can choose between the standard 1080p variant with a 16MP sensor that costs ₹6,999, or the newer model that shoots in 4K. The 4K action camera has a 12MP Sony IMX377 imaging sensor, and will set you back ₹17,999.
The 4K action camera has a 2.19-inch LCD touchscreen and hooks up to Wi-Fi to wirelessly transfer images….
The Redmi Note 4 has held up really well after 6 months of use.
Six months after its release, the Redmi Note 4 is still one of the best phones in the budget segment in India. There are plenty of options in this category — the Moto G5 Plus is Motorola’s best effort yet, and the Honor 6X is similarly great. Then we have the likes of Smartron, with its sophomore effort considerably better than its first phone, and Lenovo’s Z2 Plus has aged very well.
I used the Redmi Note 4 for a month back when it launched in January and rotated it as a secondary device on and off for the last five months. One of the main advantages of the Redmi Note 4 is the 4100mAh battery, which gives it excellent standby time and at least a day’s worth of use on a full charge. Read on to find out how the device has fared six months after its release.
Great hardware in a new color variant
I initially used the gold color option of the Redmi Note 4, but I switched to the matte black variant in March. Of …
It’s slightly faster.
The Google Pixel 2 might ship with revised internal hardware from Qualcomm in the form of a new processor, the Snapdragon 836. That’s according to silicon rumormonger Fudzilla, which offers up the following plausible but completely unsurprising info, courtesy of its sources:
The Pixel 2 phones will be the first to ship with Snapdragon 836
The chip itself will supposedly be a minor revision to the 835, with a small bump to maximum clock speeds. (Base clock speeds may not increase, or only increase negligibly.)
There’ll also be some battery life improvements.
If true, this would mirror the situation of last year, when the first Pixel emerged as the first phone with Snapdragon 821 in the West — the 821 being a minor revision of the 820 chip powering many of 2016’s flagships. Once again, a prominent new flagship would end up using the latest processor from Qualcomm. That’s not the most unexpected thing in the world.

One of the biggest criticisms about HTC smartphones as of late has been about their prices. For instance, $749 is kind of a lot for a U Ultra when you can get a Galaxy S8 for less. But with HTC’s Summer Sunset Sale, you can chop a couple hundred bucks…
The HTC U11 is getting a new model, and it’s even better than before.
HTC’s U11 flagship is one of the year’s best phones so far, and the company is doing everything it can to get it into as many peoples’ hands as possible. Starting today, July 25, you can order a 128GB version of the phone in the U.S. for $729, a $70 premium over the 64GB model that’s been available since May.
Available from HTC.com as an unlocked model exclusively in “Amazing Silver”, the 128GB model also comes with 6GB of RAM, which matches the model sold in China. With the extra memory and storage, the HTC U11 looks pretty future-proofed, a device that people will feel comfortable holding on to for a couple of years at least. It’s also pretty great value against something like the Galaxy S8, which is sold unlocked $725 with 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM (though it’s on sale right now).
If you’re looking for something a little less pricey, HTC is discounting some older devices until August 7. The HTC U Ultra i…
