Under this program, the company will be teaming up with many Chinese and Indian OEMs to release $100 Android devices running a near stock build of Android....

German cryptographers discover a security error in WhatsApp The main factor that leads to establishing a point-to-point encryption answers the question of privacy: messages should only be read by the sender and the recipient. The moment the message arrives or passes through another person or server, the filtering has failed. And this is what a team of German cryptographers has discovered during a security conference in Switzerland. The objective of this group was to find security flaws in popular messaging apps....

Get this: Some nonprofit groups are accepting donations through cryptocurrency. I recently spoke to The New York Times about how this can strike a revolutionary match in the world of giving.

The verse may be extremely sub-standard but at this point, it stands correct for many of us, with many parts of the world in lockdown.

The main Google I/O 2014 keynote is just over, and we’re still trying to wrap our heads around everything that was announced today. If you’re a developer involved in the Android ecosystem — ie. the target of this conference — this must feel like Christmas morning to you with so many new APIs, SDKs, and tools to play with. If you’re a consumer though, you just got a glimpse of the future, and that future is all about Android....

The Pixel XL is a very fast Android 7.1 phone, the pinnacle of what Google can design – or so we’re told. That this design doesn’t include any significant waterproofing, any wireless charging, any physical stabilisation for the camera, has only a mono speaker, and in fact has a smaller screen than both its predecessors – all while adding a price premium, is disappointing, to say the least. So can the 5....

This interest in the “protection” around a display is fascinating, not least because as per our experience, a majority of users any way place a screen protector of some sort over the display any way. It might be as basic as a strip of plastic or as sophisticated as tempered glass, but it is rare to see a person in India using a relatively expensive phone (anything above Rs 5,000 is expensive for a phone in which the vast majority of users still use feature phones)....

I’ve been acting as an informal coach, cheering her on and encouraging her to keep it up. It’s nice when a friend’s hard work begins to pay off. Recently, she came to me with the question that opens this article: How can I easily tell if someone’s following me on Instagram? As it turns out, it’s easy if you’re not following them but not as easy if you already are....

This has allowed the South Korean tech giant to offer camera experiences that can satisfy casual users with the best photographs possible and professional users with RAW files equivalent to those taken on DSLR cameras, said Joshua Sungdae Cho, vice president and head of visual software R&D at Samsung’s MX Business, in an interview with ZDNet. “We’ve applied NPUs to our smartphones for the first time three years ago,” said Cho....

That open-source platform is a double-edged sword. Android fans and developers often choose its operating system because they like the freedom that comes with it. Unlike iOS, Android offers the ability to do what you want when it comes to apps and programming, but that flexibility opens the door to tons of issues in return, like dangerous bugs that let hackers take over. New updates or security patches are rolled out regularly in response to these issues, and the patches that were rolled out for August are meant to fix some major security flaws....

With each passing year, more and more features that were once considered “luxuries” end up being commonplace. You may not believe this, but there was once a time when having a mobile phone that vibrated and had an antenna that you didn’t have to manually extend was considered the pinnacle of engineering. This same process of technological democratization has also been taking place in the automotive industry. The cheapest new car from a company like Hyundai or Honda has more gizmos and features than a 15 year old top-of-the-line Audi....
