One of the nicer features of the HTC One is its ability to create Video Highlights. Highlights are nothing but 30 second videos created from the pictures, Zoes and videos that you have shot on the HTC One. By default, a video highlight is created for each ‘Event’, and the HTC One automatically creates events based on the geo-tags of the photos and videos. But if you want to merge events, there’s also an option to do that, so you can have a single event spanning a week, which includes all …

At the Asha 501 launch event, Nokia also quietly announced a cool new accessory in the form of the DC-18, its latest portable charging solution. The square shaped box (57 x 57 x 14.9mm) packs a 1720 mAh battery and comes in cyan, white, red, and yellow. Inside it resides a micro USB port that can be plugged into any device that supports micro USB charging for a quick top off.

While its 1720 mAh battery might not be enough to completely charge some of the higher end devices like the Lumias or …

The HTC One packs a quad core Snapdragon 600 chip, 2 GB of RAM, an incredible 1080p 4.7″ IPS display  and runs Sense 5.0, a new iteration of Sense that trims down the UI to a very large extent, while not taking away too much from the default Android experience. With its premium aluminium construction, there is hardly anything you won’t like about this device.

The HTC One is definitely one of 2013′s top smartphones, and as is the case with most devices these days, there are features that are obvious and …

Stephen Elop in his Mobile World Congress keynote recently announced that Windows Phone Store had crossed 130,000 apps, an impressive number on its own. But compared to both Android and iOS which are around the 700,000 mark, the number seems low. Does this mean you shouldn’t buy a Windows Phone because it doesn’t have ‘apps’? To see if this was the case, I did an unscientific test. I picked up my iPhone 5 which has tons and tons of apps installed, and started comparing its app selection to the Windows …

We’ve already heard from Samsung that Tizen powered devices are coming in 2013, and from the look of things it seems the OS development is on track. The Tizen 2.0 Magnolia SDK and source code has just been released and is available for download from the Tizen.org website. According to the technical steering group, Tizen 2.0 represents a major milestone for software developers and device vendors and includes many new features and improvements over Tizen 1.0 released in April, and Tizen 2.0 alpha in September, 2012.

Tizen is primarily an HTML5 centered operating …

Zomato is the go-to app if you’re looking for food. It detects your location and gives you the names, menus, photos and contact details of restaurants around you. You can sort by price, whether they deliver, distance and even search for places to eat in other localities. Recently, Zomato has expanded to other countries apart from India, and covers 70,000 restaurants across India, United Kingdom, UAE and Sri Lanka. If its available in your region I recommend you give it a shot.
Another feature that they’ve recently rolled out is titles. …

One of my favourite WhatsApp features is the ability to share your location, telling a friend where you are has never been easier. Once the location has been received you can simply jump into the maps app by clicking on the location so received, and get directions. This worked very well before iOS 6, and Apple’s infamous Maps app came along. As things stand, while there is a Google Maps app for the iPhone, but clicking on the view location in WhatsApp only lets you navigate using Apple Maps – …

If you watch a lot of TV shows, chances are that you have a had time trying to figure out which ones you’ve caught up with and which ones you’ve missed. However, if you’re using Windows Phone, the TV Show app can put you out of your misery. The app features a fast and fluid interface that makes keeping up with TV literally a breeze. The app is optimised for Windows Phone 8, features live tiles that tell you about upcoming shows and the number of episodes you’re yet to …

PVR Cinemas is one of India’s leading multiplex chains, and I’m glad to say that there’s finally a Windows Phone version of their app available. The multiplex chain had earlier released iOS and Android apps way back in September 2011 when Windows Phone devices were only beginning to hit the market.  While the Windows Phone app may be a little late, it certainly seems worth the wait. It doesn’t seem to be optimised for Windows Phone 8 and its quick resume functionality, but still runs well on the Lumia 920.
The application is …

At the Lumia 920′s India launch, Nokia strapped a Lumia 920 and a Galaxy S3 to a quadcopter and flew it around the conference hall. While they didn’t refer to the S3 by name, but as a competitor’s device, one could tell. Both devices were strapped to the quadcopter (pictured below) side by side, and the quadcopter promised a very bumpy ride indeed.

I was able to film both quadcopter flying around, and the resulting footage captured from both smartphones, the difference was remarkable. (YouTube link)
