Today, the company unveiled its 12th device, the all-new Nokia 2 at an event held in New Delhi, India.

A couple of days after we found the GFXbench listing, the Razer Phone is now  spotted  in a leaked image. On the rear of the device, we can spot the dual camera sensors along with a LED flash. The rear camera bumps out of the body which looks to be a metal surface. Just like the Nextbit Robin, the Razer Phone also looks to come in a rectangular slab design without any curved or rounded edges. While the Nextbit Robin came with a rounded volume rocker and power buttons, the Razer Phones also features similar buttons on the left edge. There is a huge Razer logo in green color on the rear and we expect the company to make it backlit. Based on the GFXbench listing, the Razer Phone might feature dual 12MP sensors on the rear. However, there is no confirmation whether the company will be opting for the RGB + monochrome or the wide-angle + telephoto camera setup.  8 Comments A couple of days after we found the GFXbench listing, the Razer Phone is now  spotted  in a lea

OnePlus 5T Unofficially Confirmed to Sport 18:9 Display From the last few weeks, we have been seeing several leaks about the OnePlus 5T smartphone. We expect the company to launch this new smartphone in the month of November. Though there is no official information regarding the OnePlus 5T, the newly leaked teaser image reveals a couple of details. Firstly, we will be looking at the all-screen display on the front with 18:9 aspect ratio. We expect the company will continue with its Optic AMOLED panel and might offer Full HD+ (2160 x 1080 pixels) display. Also, the upcoming OnePlus 5T will be missing the front-facing physical home button. Instead, the device will sport fingerprint sensor on the rear along with on-screen navigation buttons.

Xiaomi India has sent us Invitations for their next product launch that is happening on 2nd of November. The Invitation clearly shows a lightning symbol that hints at a product with fast charge or  quick charge  & this could be a Smartphone with the fast charge technology. A few weeks back the company had launched the  Mi Mix 2  that went on sale in India this week following which we are hearing rumors about the  Redmi Note 5 . This year Xiaomi has been selling the Redmi Note 4 in huge volumes and the successor of the same is awaited by everyone. That said, when we talk about the Redmi Note 5 we are already hearing that this could be launched on the lines of the 18:9 display & upgraded camera sensors. There are speculations sent to us by our readers that this could be the launch of the   MIUI 9 official built but we guess this might be wrong because the invitation clearly mentions the launch of a new series. A new series could also phase-out the expect

The latest entrant in the Indian telecom segment, Reliance Jio has updated its plans and revealed new plans with the name Diwali Dhan Dhana Dhan. Earlier reports about Jio increasing the tariffs have turned out to be true for the Rs. 399 plan. The Rs. 149 plan, however, has become more attractive. The first change that we see when we look at the new and the previous plans is that  Reliance Jio  has reduced the number of plans from 12 to 9. Some plans have improved and some plans have been downgraded. Jio has removed both, its cheapest and its costliest plans, i.e., you will no longer be able to recharge with Rs. 19 and Rs. 9,999 plans. Another change in all its plans is that the post FUP speed in unlimited data plans has been reduced from 128Kbps to 64Kbps. The current Rs. 399 plan that offered 1GB 4G data per day, unlimited local and STD voice calls, free SMSs and access to Jio’s suite of apps with a validity of 84 days will now come with a validity of 70 days and the remain

3 A couple of months back, we reported about the possible launch of a new 4G VoLTE phone from Micromax called as Bharat 1. Unlike the other Bharat series devices, the Bharat 1 is a feature phone but offers 4G VoLTE support to take advantage of making HD voice calls & accessing high-speed internet. This week, Micromax in partnership with the state-own telecom network, BSNL launched the Bharat 1 4G VoLTE feature phone for Rs. 2,200. It will be available across India through offline retail stores starting October 20th. BSNL also launched a special unlimited plan for the Bharat 1 users at just Rs. 97. It includes unlimited voice calls and internet usage and comes with a one-month validity. Compared to other major telecom networks, BSNL’s 4G coverage is only limited to few cities. However, the company has mentioned to roll-out the 4G services starting January 2018. The Bharat 1 will effectively cost lower than JioPhone after using it for three years. While the JioPhone has to b
