Smart SMS Marketing
You know how the stereotype goes. “Older people don’t use technology.” “Smartphones are too complicated for seniors.” “A flyer or a phone call is the only option.” Reality, as it turns out, begs to differ. According to an AARP survey, over 90 percent of older adults use technology to stay connected. And among those surveyed, […]

Mobile Branding Matters
Take a guess. How much time do you spend on your phone every day? Add up all those downward glances, text replies, phone calls and photo filters.

Apple WWDC 2018
This year’s Apple WWDC keynote, held at the San Jose McEnergy Convention Center in San Jose, was a big surprise for many, not for what it showcased, but for what it didn’t—hardware. Even though the event is clearly about software, Apple has gotten us used to announcements of future or refreshes of current products. But […]

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, they say, but I doubt Apple is pleased with the compliment Xiaomi has been paying since it launched its first smartphone back in 2011. Since then, the little rice (Xiaomi’s translation from Mandarin) grew into a solid 12.4 percent market share in China’s smartphone market. Chances are its […]

For App Addicts
Your smartphone is the one thing you carry on you at all times. It has become an omnipresent device, with very few places where one’s not allowed to have it. It helps a great deal, but it’s ever more damaging as well. Today we face something that’s called ‘app addiction’ and there are more and […]

Lamborghini’s Phone
These days, most of us own a smartphone or even several. Smartphone manufacturers have also worked their best to bring near premium design and specs to budget devices.

Meet Pixel
Google has finally launched its own smartphone, the Pixel, and aimed it directly at Apple. The search giant is keen on showing what a premium Android can do when the hardware is tailored to the software by those who actually make it. Following the Nexus line, Pixel is now 100 percent Google, and even though […]

OnePlus 3
OnePlus is no longer a new name on the market. The Chinese manufacturer premiered in 2014 with its first handset, followed up by last year’s OnePlus 2 and the even more budget-friendly OnePlus X. Now OnePlus 3 takes the center stage and so far, the premise is better than before—Oppo dropped the invitation system so […]
