Killing background tasks is great and Android does that automatically to save battery usage. But these manufacturers have implemented their own functionality on top of Android which cripples even critical messaging applications like WhatsAp

I absolutely loved all the games in the Halo Series and had been a fan of the series right from Halo 1. While I have purchased both Destiny 1 and 2, they are no match for the brilliant story that Halo had. Destiny just feels like grinding f

Lets say that there are 2 products, both of them offering similar functionality which is useful to a user. One of them only offers a progressive webapp and the other a native app. I can't think of a single example of where a product o

When I read the title my first reaction was 'Who tf does the world owe money to, the martians?'. Though reading the article and comments did make it a lot clearer to me.

If you buy a cheap Android phone you are going to get cheapness. In my experience the kind of experience you have with an android device is pretty much driven by the cost of the phone. I personally own a Sony Xperia XZ ( which is now over 3

I am an audiophile and I don't miss the headphone jack at all. I've always hated the headphone jack on most phones since most of them are inherently low quality. If you have a high end headphone then the weakest link usually is t
