SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive

Apple fans need to keep one big fact in mind: Buying a 16GB iPhone is not good, because you’ll run out of space soon after. Then transferring photos, videos or contacts from Apple is often not the easiest thing, certainly not as seamless as it is on Android.

If you’re not carrying that Lightning cable around, you can forget about transferring anything from your iPhone or iPad to a PC. Earlier Leef launched its iBridge device to help expand space for iPhone users in India, and now SanDisk has introduced its own iXpand Flash Drive, which does something similar.
SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive will add some extra space to your iPhone, and makes transferring contacts, photos hassle-free. It starts at Rs 3,990 for 16GB and goes all the way upto Rs 9,990 for 128GB.

INTEL JUST RELEASE CORE I-10 COMPUTER PROCESSOR WITH EXTREME PERFORMANCE

While you might feel content using your current computer powered by standard Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, Intel has just announced its first 10-core desktop CPU for extreme performance.

Dubbed Intel Core i7-9650X Extreme Edition, these processors will add more fuel to the gigahertz race in the tech world. With this release, Intel is also ditching its Latin branding (deca-core) and going for simple “10-core”.

These new Broadwell-E processors will operate at 3GHz with an upper overclocking limit of 3.5GHz. The new chip will come with Intel’s Turbo Boost 3.0 technology and feature 25MB cache.

Before telling you more about this monster, let me state its price. To own this hardcore piece of engineering, be prepared to spend an incredible $1,723.

So, why does Intel Core i7-9650X Extreme Edition cost this much?

According to Intel, this chip is made for the “mega-taskers”, which is apparently the next level of multi-tasking. The company says that while performing 3D rendering tasks, it’s 35% faster than the last-gen Core i7-5960X. Compared to the same chip, Broadwell-E is 25% faster when it comes to editing 4K videos.

If you are looking for a slightly cheaper version of Intel Core i7-9650X Extreme Edition, there’s a good news for you.

Intel has announced that the new Extreme Edition i7 CPUs will also come in 8-core and 6-core variants. Including the previous 10-core processors, all the new chips will support DDR4-2400 RAM.

These chips also mark another step in Intel’s new product cycle favoring the new “Process, Architecture, Optimisation” model. Notably, last year, the company announced that it’ll be ditching its “Tick-Tock” model.

Another leak of the HTC 10 shows the handset in white leak of the HTC 10 shows the handset in white

There is no doubt that HTC is really excited about the HTC 10 that it has been teasing the device left and right since the beginning of this year. This time, however, a photo was leaked through Chinese micro-blogging network Weibo.

Apparently someone who had their hands on a final unit in white, took a picture of it laying a top a greasy laptop keyboard. The unit shown had Chinese software on it but looks just like another Chinese unit that was also leaked earlier last month.

What is different about this unit was that it was white. We’d only seen units with black faces so at least we now know that HTC plans to release a version of the phone with a white bezel, perhaps with a silver finish on the rear?

HTC has already teased the HTC 10 in the past with its large beveled edge, another teaser featured the HTC 10’s speaker system and promised that it would feature the best Boom Sound experience than ever before. HTC also teased the phone’s performance, and camera(calling it “the best ever smartphone for shooting photos and videos) and finally, just today, HTC also teased the phone’s battery life.

Windows 10 Mobile Build 14310 Screenshots Show New Update Options

A new Windows 10 Mobile build is likely to be released by Microsoft in the coming days, but till then more information about the features that could be offered to insiders is emerging through unofficial sources.

              

Active Hours is an option that's not available in the current Windows 10 builds. It will allow users to choose the hours when they usually work on the device, so Windows Update can avoid restarting to complete installing new updates.

There's another option that allows users to select a custom restart time and which should supersede settings in active hours. The description of the feature by WinFuture said, "This option allows you to temporarily override active hours and schedule a custom time to finish installing this update. Make sure your device is plugged in at the scheduled time."

The reports about Active Hours first reached the web in late March. As it turned out, similar functionality is expected on all Windows 10 devices, including PCs and mobile devices, so the next build released to insiders might include it too.

Undoubtedly, this feature will be part of the Anniversary Update coming this summer, so for the moment Microsoft's only preparing to collect feedback to further develop it before the public launch.

Motorola Moto X3 With 5-Inch Display

The anticipated Motorola Moto X3 smartphone may just have shown up on import and export tracking site Zauba. A listing has appeared on the site for a Moto smartphone with Motorola Moto X3 naming, believed to be the next Moto X-series smartphone from Lenovo.

The listing further hints that the Moto X3 may feature a 5-inch display and support single-SIM. The Zauba listing shows that the units were shipped last month from the United States to India. According to the declared values, the Moto X3 is seen priced at Rs. 6,812. Though, to be noted is that import/ export website price listings are only declared values, and usually are not accurate reflections of actual market price. The listing was first spotted by Roland Quandt of Winfuture.de.
If the Zauba listing turns out to be true, then it is also the Moto X3 may be the first handset in thr Motorola lineup to sport the "Moto by Lenovo" branding. Considering that Lenovo has confirmed plans to overhaul the Moto brand to "Moto by Lenovo", the leaked Moto X3 smartphone is unlikely to done just Motorola branding. However, we will have to wait for the handset's unveiling to find out the new branding.
