We have many companies already making these cleaners, iRobot was one of the first Robo-vac makers with the Roomba, they even have a wet washer called the Scooba. We even have some household brands like LG and Samsung manufacturing them and an brand easily available in India by the name of Milagrow also makes and sells these autonomous vacuum cleaners. However, the one thing in common for these lean and autonomous cleaning machines is the price. They usually cost upwards of $400 for a decent vacuum cleaner. Xiaomi wants to change this and they have launched the new Mi Robot Vacuum.
Just like Xiaomi phones, Mi Robot Vacuum cleaners are loaded with specs, for starters you have 12 sensors including Laser Distance Sensor (LDS), ultrasonic radar sensor, cliff sensor, gyroscope and accelerometer. The Mi Robot Vacuum has a 1800Pa air pressure capable bristles DC motor. The best part, it sells for RMB 1699 or Rs. 17,000 (US $ 250 approx).
It will clean for a 2.5 hours straight with a 5200mAh battery, and it syncs up with the Mi Home app, so that you get the ability to control robot remotely. We always wanted remote control toys that would have a bigger purpose in life. The Mi Robot Vacuum has pneumatic brushes that automatically adjust height to create tight seal with floor.
While the next iPhone is around the bend, Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus owners have sued Apple in the U.S. over faulty touchscreen controller chips that render the smartphones useless. Dubbed “Touch Disease” it seems to be rampantly affecting iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
The case alleges that Apple is aware of the technical glitch but refuses to fix affected devices. The named plaintiffs in the case Todd Clearly, Jun Bai and Thomas Davidson are reportedly accusing Apple of fraud.
The iPhones are not fit for the purpose of use as smartphones because of the touchscreen defect,”
The plaintiffs linked the problem to Apple’s decision not to use a metal “shield” or “underfill” to protect the relevant parts, as it did on versions of the iPhone 5.
Touch Disease was a tear given to the problem by iFixit who have also made the video below demonstrating the issue. A distinct flickering gray bar the appears at the top of the display near the status bar.
Earlier today Apple sent out invites to for their September 7th event where the Cupertino based computer giant will launch the next Apple iPhone, namely the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and possibly the iPhone 7 Pro.
Apple has kept this launch an invite only like most launches.
The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium will host the launch this time around, altho Apple and Tim cook wanted to use their new campus for launches, however construction is far from over. The invite reads only, “See you on the 7th. Please join us for an invitation-only event.”
If the rumours for the upcoming iPhone 7 are correct, then the iPhone 7 will shed a 3.5 mm audio jack and replace that with a dongle that will connect your old headphones to the lightning port, or simply wireless EarPods. The iPhone 7 will also be thinner and possibly have an OLED display, Apple has been sourcing them since early 2016.
The iPhone 7 leaks have also shown off new cameras both for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Pro. the latter showing up with a dual camera setup and smart connectors for accessories.
Apple will also officially launch and announce new features of iOS 10 along with a few new apps for the iPhone.
As always you will get all the required info on launch day on iGyaan.
Today the country is abuzz with the a revolutionary new service, yet to launch. In fact, people have been talking about Reliance’s JIO for almost two years now. The JIO effect being dubbed by publications each time a service provide offers a discount or reduces prices on their 4G services.
1.5 million sim cards have been reportedly given out by the company to willing early consumers who sign up for the service without reading the fine print of the 90 day free service offer. Reliance has done this in the past, tired to revolutionise the mobile industry and sell handsets masquerading under the “Dhirubhai Ambani Offer.”

For those with fresh blood, the above offer would require you to pay Rs. 501, for a new connection which would include a free Samsung CDMA handset with the Reliance branding. The actual price of the phone was around Rs 25000, and millions got on to the offer and exploited the services till they started getting bills in 5 figures or more for usage charges. People refused to pay these bills, and Reliance goons, in some cases, till date haunt those affected by this to claim money for services provided.
in 2002 Mukesh Ambani said :
This is the largest infrastructure and services rolled out by any new entrant anywhere in the world. In terms of complexity, it spans voice, data, video, audio and value added services.With an ‘every time, every place, every device’ network ethos, a sweeping span of services and a new breed of entrepreneurs, Reliance Infocomm will prepare India to take on the mantle of leadership in the knowledge age
Sure. Sounds familiar right? These exact claims are being made today.
Reliance Infocomm the birth child of this offer has since then converted to Reliance Communications, the launch was considered a total failure and set precedent that no payment plans could work in a country like India. Hence, we pay outright for iPhones and Galaxy S flagships, instead of a payment plan seen in most countries, Thanks Reliance!
The Quint, recently enlightened the world on the 5 things that most users don’t know about the JIO preview offer, and it is a good place to start to understand the JIO effect.
However, there are several other things that need to be highlighted about Reliance and their communication business to understand if JIO is set to be the best ever mobile network or a big failure.
Reliance has always been big on promises but poor on deliveries. A company that lacks a general direction of customer service and rates extremely low on the customer satisfaction index. Reliance’s revolutionary CDMA services are nearly extinct and no major manufacturer released a CDMA phone in India this year. In countries like the US, CDMA services from SPRINT and Verizon in some cases seem to perform better than the GSM providers. Most CDMA network providers globally are shifting to 5G networks. In India on the other hand, they seem to be winding up operations.
Reliance is operating the JIO offer without an actual go ahead from the Government, this offer in which you the user, are using the services which allow Reliance Industries to do business without really paying the government spectrum charges and other fees that a commercially launched network has to pay. So each of the 1.5 million users are accomplices in a scam of a colossal scale. Cellular Operators’ Association of India (COAI), the network industry body, accused Reliance of falsely claiming that it is in testing mode.
However, the story is not so simple, and no the government probably won’t arrest you and parade you to a jail cell or sue you for the spectrum charges (hopefully). But, it seems that things are already sketchy before launch, fake promises of launch among an already poor infrastructure of voice services.
The JIO network also requires VOLTE to communicate effectively, however, no other provider at the moment offers VOLTE, so that will only work between JIO to JIO calls. Also, VOLTE as a technology is not available on every 4G enabled phone, which could restrict usage to either no voice calls, or buying a new phone with your new service.
Every one on JIO using the services is extremely impressed by the speeds of the 4G network, which will go down monumentally the minute millions of users jump on their network and start to use the services in busy cities.
Here are a few things that are already established,
JIO is not yet operating within the rules set by the Government.
There are already reports (acknowledged by JIO) of an extremely poor voice network.
Too much hype and too little product.
Poor customer service and Customer recall.
Lowest levels of customer satisfaction.
Past Failures in Mobile telephony.
That being said, we should not judge people for their past mistakes, especially if they have paid heavily (or incurred heavy losses). Reliance is once again trying to change the mobile industry in India exactly 14 years after its first failure. However, it seems that the approach is too similar to ignore. Cheaper than usual handsets (LYF smartphones), promise of high quality service, and free data offers. Reliance has always focused on making things cheap, for the masses, but has often disappointed.
While the other network providers are not great, Airtel and Vodafone suffer huge network outages, despite open network promises. Don’t bother discussing the State carriers. People are extremely happy with services of a provider that works for them. Some are loyal to Airtel and some to Vodafone, while Tata Docomo (Indicom ) users swear by the good network strength (where it works ).
It’s evident that no network is perfect, but the JIO launch is far from it, and as consumers Indians are much smarter than they were in 2002. But, as a community, our consumers are often temped by something that is cheap. Reliance JIO promises to be the cheapest Data and Voice carrier in the country and for now that sells, just like hot cakes.
People need to be careful before signing on to a postpaid contract, read the document carefully, you may be charged for services that you may not need. JIO’s end aim is to monetise the millions of customers it can retain from its free campaign, which at the end is a full blown marketing stunt, categorised under modern advertising.
Hopefully, JIO keeps up to its promises and does not turn out to be another “Dhirubhai Ambani Offer”, and turns out to be a healthy competition for network providers along with being capable of providing improved customer satisfaction. In that situation, there is only one winner, the consumer. Right now, however, this is not the case.
Motorola has been teasing a new launch smartphone for a while, and it seems that the Moto G4 play will launch much before the Moto E3 Power which was on sale in Hong Kong recently. The Moto G4 Play has a MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 along with a 5 inch 1280 x 720p display.
The G4 play should come in it a more affordable price, and we are expecting it to be around the Rs. 10,000 price bracket or lower. The Moto G4 play is also among the few phones available today that will offer up a removable battery.
Motorola is attempting to increase penetration of the already popular Moto G4 by introducing a more budget friendly, gaming centric handset. Possibly to take on the Samsung Galaxy J lineup.
The Moto G4 Play will be an Amazon.in Exclusive as seen from the tweet below.
The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 seems to be the talk of the hour, where recent leaked images point towards a smartphone with a dual curve display, more like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 will also supposedly run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset with two display options, a 1080p variant for possibly those on a budget along with a QHD or 2K display for those not willing to mind their pockets.
More leaks for the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 point towards a dual camera setup along with a 6 GB and 128 GB setup offering up with the SD 821 mentioned earlier.
It seems that the Mi Note 2 will be available in a total of 3 variants, with choices between display, storage and cameras. The display will remain OLED type across the options and the RAM will stay 6 GB too.
Mi Note 2 Listing
More info should be available shortly, Mi India has refused to comment on the handset or its availability in India.
Moto’s latest budget smartphone is a revision to the existing Moto E gen 2 and long over due. The subtle upgrade offers up only a few changes for the loyalists.
The Moto E3 Power gets its name from the massive 3500 mAh battery and long battery life. This new edition of the Moto E has a 5 inch display with an HD resolution and an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash along with a 5 MP selfie cam
The new Moto E3 Power runs on the MediaTek MT6735P chipset and power through using 2GB of RAM along with 16GB of storage which is expandable using a microSD
The Moto E3 Power supports 4G LTE and the variant launching in India will have VOLTE and dual-SIM functionality.
The Moto E3 Power runs the latest Android 6.0.1, but now that Nougat has started pushing to official phones, the new Moto phones should be getting it too.
The handset is currently listed in Hong Kong for HKD 1,098 or Rs 9,500, but we expect it to launch in India for under Rs. 9000.
Moto India has been teasing a new smartphone on their twitter recently. While earlier thought to be tweets leading up to the Moto Z, the Moto India campaign could be for the next Moto E, considering they are talking about multitasking and good battery life.
New reports from WSJ and Bloomberg point to a new redesign of the Home Button on the iPhone’s slated for a 2017 launch. Reports earlier had mentioned an all glass design of the future generation of iPhones, and that will tie in with the removal of the physical home button .
The reports come in tied to the inclusion on FeliCa in Apple iPhones for the Japan Market. FeliCa, is a tap-to-pay standard in Japan that allows users to pay for things like mass-transit rides with their mobile device.
The iPhone 7 which will launch early next month, will however have a new redesigned tactile home button, before Apple removes it completely next year. Apple is also have said to removed the 3.5mm headphone jack and redesigned the cameras and antenna lines for the 2016 iPhone lineup due in September.
We are not sure if removing the home button will go down well with iPhone loyalists, considering the 3.5mm headphone jack removal will already hit music enthusiasts hard.

With the iPhone 7 (or is it the iPhone 6SE) launch just around the corner, A report from the Nikkei Asian Review, with ties close to Apple is claiming that the largest tech company in the world is working on what may be a curved screen iPhone for 2017.
If read correctly, the report claims that Apple will launch a total of three phones, a 4.7 inch and a 5.5 inch flat phone along with a 5.5 inch device with a curve. This would be especially similar to the Samsung strategy of the curved phones since the Note Edge in 2014.
This rumour is further detailed thanks to a patent that has been granted to Apple for a curvy phone.No further details of the smartphone are yet available. It also seems that Apple may need to switch to either OLED display from Samsung or POLED display from LG, to allow for such a device to exist. However, according to rumours Apple may switch to OLED display for the iPhone 7 which will launch in a few weeks time.
Traditionally people have stayed away from curved screen phones, however, Samsung has this year put the fear of the curve in the past by launching its flagship in a edge only format, which means that this is the first time a Samsung Note device is available with a flat variant. Also putting weight into the fact that users are now more accepting of the radical curved design.
The OnePlus 3 is the third from the Chinese manufacturer OnePlus. A company with claims of making flagship killers and a tagline that says “Never Settle”. However, the fist two phones have been compromised in one way or another, even though the OnePlus One was an impact maker, the Oneplus Two failed to deliver on promises. The OnePlus 3 is being projected as a true flagship killer, and while there are many reasons why this statement may be true, Let’s Find out in our Review if this stands True!
[section label=”Initial Thoughts”]
Initial Thoughts
One Month in and the OnePlus 3 is still pretty important to people, that says a lot about the positioning of the brand and the value it delivers with the OnePlus 3. The Oneplus 3 is the first phone from OnePlus to be sold entirely without invites or flash sales of any kind. Which does away with one of the biggest issues with owning a OnePlus handset. The phone is available outright all over the world with a price of US $ 399, in India the company launched the phone for Rs. 27999.
In a pure spec to price comparison, the OnePlus 3 seems to be somewhat in the lead.

[section label=”Build and Design”]
Build Quality and Design
The OnePlus 3 holds the best build quality of the Oneplus line of phones. An all metal shell that reflects a lot upon design and materials from the lineup of HTC phones and it is no way a bad thing. HTC has been one of our favorite manufacturers, and their build quality is a primary reason.
The front of the phone houses Gorilla Glass 4. However, you will only get a protection lip if you buy one of their covers. The included screen protector gets scratched easily and it is recommended that you replace your layer quickly.
We have no complaints with the OnePlus 3 design, in fact, we appreciate it a lot and it speaks a lot about what the company has learnt in the past three years. That being said we are still waiting for the gold color. The fact that the phone is metal, means that dents will be easy to get and so will be scratches.
[section label=”Hardware”]
Hardware
Hardware wise, OnePlus has left only one aspect behind, and pumped the rest of the OnePlus with the best meat on the market. The OnePlus 3 short of display resolution, features top of the line specifications and then some. Snapdragon 820 with a whopping 6 GB of RAM along with a standard 64 GB storage and 16 Mp and 8MP camera combinations.
[section label=”Performance”]
Performance and Gaming
With the latest update just about a month from the launch, OnePlus took care of a lot of the initial snags faced by the handset. Memory management is a whole lot improved, even though we didn’t really face any issues initially.
Scoring upwards of 140,000 in Antutu benchmark, the OnePlus 3 proves that you don’t need an expensive handset to get the power you desire. In fact, it scores the 1st place at the moment on Antutu with a score of 143532 without any mods.
6 GB of RAM is an overkill and OnePlus basically did it to draw attention towards the phone, with no real use of so much standby memory, it just makes the memory hungry apps last out longer. It does give a free buffer to multitask and allow for games to utilise this memory. At any time, however, there is usually awards of 3 GB of RAM free.
OnePlus may launch a 4 GB variant of the OnePlus 3 much like the LeMax 2, which would make more sense for an ordinary consumer and would also bring down the price by about Us $ 60.
Usual bits of daily use are good after one month of use, and especially good after the software update which tends to smooth things out. Switching between apps is easy and quick and the phone plays well when you push it to the limit.
[section label=”Camera and Multimedia”]
Multimedia and Camera
The AMOLED display is excellent and really puts vibrancy into the OnePlus 3. When compared to the dull display on the OnePlus 2 the OnePlus 3 really shines in this department. Media consumption is excellent on the handset which offers good viewing angles and bucket loads of brightness indoors and outdoors.
There is only one speaker on the phone and its sharp but sounds tinny. The audio levels are also average and not the best we have seen. You will find yourself looking for portable speakers or headphones to use this handset. Audio through the headphone jack is good and punchy. Also worth noting is the fact that this phone does, in fact, have a 3.5mm headphone jack. Something the Chinese siblings are missing in anticipation of Apple getting rid of it.
HDR and HD mode you will find yourself capturing some great outdoor shots. The usual OnePlus filters are also available and appreciated in the camera app. The camera is genrally faster, sharper and more detailed in capturing images and video.
A full manual mode allows you to customize and set up your shot if you are a photography nerd. The ability to store RAW lets you get a lot more from the images, and removing the processing engine from the smartphone and shifting it to you PC.
Colors and Contrast is on point and saturation is just right. Mostly outdoor images are excellent with the indoor images coming out good to average.
[section label=”Operating System”]
Oxygen OS
With Cyanogen completely out of the picture, a proprietary OS which has the same feel of Cyanogen developed in-house is a fantastic idea. A fast and smooth near- stock UI with basic customizations works well for the OnePlus 3.
You have the shelf which sits to the left of the home screen, which you can disable in case you don’t want it. you also get the ability to switch to a dark theme, or a light theme, among various other detailed customizations. A gesture setup allows you to launch the camera, enable the flashlight or control your music from a locked phone.
The operating system is now updated frequently to resolve bugs, and improve performance. Hopefully the transition to Android Nougat will not be as long as it was to Android Marshmallow , which happened earlier this year.
[section label=”Phone and Battery”]
Phone and Battery Life
The OnePlus 3 will take in two nano SIM cards and will work with essentially LTE and 4G networks in the region it is designed for. The Snapdragon 820 chip is quite versatile and a wide array of bands are well supported with the OnePlus 3.
The Network strength is good and so is phone call capability with little effect on the battery life. The earpiece is a tad bit low in volume, but not enough to be bothersome. The microphone is sensitive and noise cancellation good. Overall phone capability stands in the good to excellent region.
Battery life is average on the OnePlus 3, with just a 3000 mAh battery and a lot going on, the OnePlus 3 will require frequent recharges, and its recommended that you carry the Dash Charger. We find the charging living up to its name and claim. After a month the OnePlus 3 still charges quickly and crosses 60% in about 30 minutes.
Talk Time : 4.5 Hours
Browsing : 3-4 Hours
Music Playback : 14 Hours
Video : 5 Hours
The OnePlus 3 still deals with the heating issues, if you launch the camera in your pocket, you will find a blazing inferno in your pants, to avoid this keep the camera gesture disabled and the fingerprint sensor-enabled.
[section label=”Conclusion”]
Conclusion
The OnePlus 3 fixes all its earlier nags, it looks great and performs better. The OnePlus 3 does have NFC and a brilliant AMOLED display. The metal build is appreciated and so are the material covers that allow you to go back to sandstone or even the wood finish that everyone wanted on the original OnePlus One. The OnePlus 3 is probably the only phone in this price bracket that is worthy of a recommendation over handsets like the S7 Edge and HTC 10, however, there is a big catch.
HTC and more importantly Samsung now are vetrans in the smartphone business, not only are their phones more reliable they are more robust in day to day usage. The Galaxy S7 is considered the best phone from Samsung, and we personally love the HTC 10. The OnePlus 3 is an excellent replacement if you dont want to spend that much.
Samsung has officially launched the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in India for a price of Rs 59,990/-. The availability of the phone has been pushed back to 2nd September which is almost 15 days from the 18th September Global release.
The Indian variant is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 8890 Octa ( 4 x 2.3GHz + 4 x 1.6GHz) SoC, 4GB of RAM, a 5.7-inch, Super AMOLED dual edge QuadHD display along with 256GB microSD card upgrade to the 64GB of built-in storage. Samsung is also including a USB Type-C finally.
The Note 7 has a 3,500mAh battery which is small, even smaller than the S7 Edge that the company already has in the market. The cameras consist of a 12-megapixel rear camera with Dual Pixel technology it has phase detection autofocus (PDAF), optical image stabilisation (OIS), an f/1.7 aperture, dual-LED flash, and Auto-HDR feature. The front camera on the other hand sports a 5-megapixel sensor with an f/1.7 aperture.
The Galaxy note 7 includes an Iris Scanner to secure down the Galaxy Note 7 along with individual folders and files.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is also iP68 Water Resistant just like the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.
When Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 7 last week, a lot of people were left disappointed that the handset only had 4 GB of RAM as opposed to the many leaks that talked about 6 GB of RAM.
Samsung may yet launch a 6GB variant of the Galaxy Note 7, According to regulatory documents filed with the Chinese Industry and Information Technology Ministry. The Samsung SM-N9300 with 128 GB of Storage and 6 GB of RAM may be launched in certain countries interested in an overload of specifications including China and possibly India.
Samsung did launch a 128 GB variant of the Note 5 in china last year and is expected to do the same this time around.
The 6GB variant will be more expensive to say the least and the Note 7 has already gotten a lot of people excited for the segment. However, there is little difference in the Note 7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge for those who do not use the S Pen and Samsung may want to give a boost to the specs game by upping the RAM and Storage.
We are also seeing CDMA capabilities in the below filing that means that the phone could work on both GSM and CDMA.
Hopefully the company will launch the same variant in India when it launches the phone later this week on August 11.

Xiaomi at an event in its home country launched the new Mi VR Play headset. The Headset which is available to beta testers for just RMB 1 (US$0.15) already has millions pre-registered for it. So if you want one now, you have a long wait ahead.
The Mi VR Play is different because it is made out of Lycra as opposed to traditional plastics, this synthetic and starchy compound is used in clothing to give them more durability and comfort.
It supports 4.7- to 5.7-inch phones and they are held down not by clamps but by zipper. Yes, Zippers! The dual openings on the front allow for slight positioning adjustments and ventilation.You will also get the newly renamed Mi VR app which has content from a bunch of local providers and Conde Nast Traveller.
No Doubt it is a good looking VR headset and it comes in a bunch of colours and designs. But When can one actually buy it without waiting in line. And whatever happened to the Mi TV?
