It’s also great for troubleshooting purposes. For example, if you’re having a specific issue with an app, instead of explaining the problem to your tech guru for support, you can simply replicate the issue, record your screen as it happens and then share it. But what if this feature is being used by apps without your knowledge? Will you feel violated, your trust betrayed? Will it feel like a massive breach of your privacy?...

A picture posted to the Sony enthusiast site XperiaBlog shows a person sitting poolside with what is likely the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, wearing a smartwatch that doesn’t quite match the design of Sony’s current watches.

Even though the carrier killed them off about a month ago, you can now browse for a subsidized phone on the Sprint website, which will l you a Galaxy S6 or other phone at a much lower price.

Slack will also be revealing the number of active users on its platform which seems to be pegged at 2-Million, a rather healthy number for inducing new features, tools and earning revenue.

The lens is made up of sensors which thankfully are equipped with the innate capability of distinguishing between a voluntary and an involuntary blink. The technology would be covering the iris and it will harness power from the motion of the eyelids. This patent application surfaces just days after Google had applied for a patent with regards to a lens that could literally be injected into the eyes.

But “they” might not be the only source watching you. Instead, it could be the person sitting next to you. Cybercrooks are always waiting for you to slip up so they can steal from you, but is your significant other doing the same thing on a much more personal level? A lot of apps available today are being marketed as a tool for parents, but they’re also being used by those suspicious of their partner....

For most people, the equation above defines the kind of audio Skullcandy offers on its headphones. And it is somewhat true because the audio experience from the brand tips slightly more towards the bass-heavy side. But what if we tell you Skullcandy has a pair of headphones that not only offers slightly balanced sound but also offers ANC and great battery life. And on top of all this, the headphones have recently received a massive price cut, making them in our opinion the best ANC headphones for anyone with a budget below Rs 10,000....

Sony was the last major Android OEM which continued to include a headphone jack on its flagship devices. That was until the company unveiled the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact at MWC 2018. With its latest flagships handsets, Sony switched to a new design language with its latest flagship smartphones — something which users had been asking for a long time, but it also took away the headphone jack which consumers did not want it to take away from their phones....

Currently, the latest version of the Android, Android Nougat is in the testing phase for several months.

Smart speakers are all the rage among OEMs. While smart speakers have exploded in popularity, they still have a long way to go. Joining Apple, Anker, Google, and other OEMs, Sony today unveiled its own smart speaker: the LF-S50G. At first glance, you might mistake Sony’s new connected speaker to be Apple’s own HomePod. The design of both smart speakers are very similar to each other, but it differs from Apple’s upcoming offering in almost every other way....

As for the rest of the device: There’s a dual core 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1 GB of RAM, and a 5 megapixel camera. Where exactly does this thing fit inside Sony’s portfolio?

Sony decided that going with an Xperia Z2 Compact wasn’t necessary, apparently, as the company has indeed done what the leaks and rumors suggested they would, and announced the brand new Xperia Z3 Compact. As you can already guess, it’s a smaller variant, with a few more “compromises” to specs when compared to Sony’s newest flagship model. However, as has been par for the course for Sony, the Compact variant is certainly a worthy device on its own....
