If you're planning to purchase a  Nexus 6P  handset, you might want to check this bend-test video that has become the talking point among enthusiasts. The rather sketchy video shows that the  Huawei -made flagship smartphone is highly prone to bending. Numerous bend-test performed since, however, seem to offer a different conclusion. YouTuber Jerry Rig put his Nexus 6P through a series of tests. These included the "burn-test," "bend-test," "scratch-test" and the likes. Rig, as shown in the video, reaches the conclusion that the Nexus 6P is very prone to getting bent. If you're a little sceptical about his methodology, you're not alone. The test isn't fair. Admittedly so, Rig had already used the handset in a number of other tests - such as the burn and scratch tests that broke the display - before putting it through another series of tests, thus it is likely that the rigidness of the handset was already compromised bef...

by  NDTV Correspondent  ,  16 September 2015 In a bizarre incident, two men in China's eastern Jiangsu Province apparently tried to sell their kidney for Apple's latest offering, the iPhone 6s. One of the men identified as Wu, wanted an  iPhone 6s  but could not afford it. His friend Huang suggested they sell a kidney each for money. The two found an illegal agent on the internet who asked them to take medical examinations at a hospital in Nanjing, state-run China Daily  reported . However, when they arrived at a hospital, the agent did not turn up as promised. They later reconsidered selling the organs. Wu told his friend, Huang, to stop the plan but Huang did not listen. Wu then called the police, but Huang ran away and has been out of reach ever since. This is not the first time people in China have gone to crazy lengths to get their hands on Apple products. Two years ago, a Chinese couple illegally put their third child up for ...

If there is a gadget that shows us the future of  Apple 's strategy, then it is the  iPad Pro . Readers of tea leaves had suggested that a  larger iPad was on the way  after WWDC 2015, and that rumour turned out to be true. Combine a beautiful high-resolution display with raw processing power and you might just have finally witnessed a device that could one day replace laptops. The changes in iOS 9 - true multitasking, split screen, and picture-in-picture mode - had hinted that the iPad was finally ready to become  more than just a bigger iPhone . The iPad Pro shows what Apple had been planning all along. The most important addition to justify the iPad's 'Pro' moniker is raw power. Apple claimed that the new A9X chip in the iPad Pro is faster than up to 80 percent of portable PCs that shipped in the past one year. Many of these portable PCs can't open 10 tabs in a browser without freezing, but they cost a lot less the the iPad Pro, which mak...

It’s a space that has grown over the past 2 years and has seen manufacturers make alterations in their plans to actually get into this segment. The rise of the compact SUVs has been a significant one and no one can ignore that the developments have been pushed by the booming demand for the cars by customers. With quite a few cars in the segment already, and more coming our way and the latest in this segment is from the Mahindra stable and it’s called the TUV 300 and we try and figure out how it stacks up against its rivals. To begin with, the Mahindra TUV300 is the shortest of the lot and closely contested only by the Ford EcoSport as these two are the only vehicles that are sub-4 metre. The Hyundai Creta comes in third place by the Renault Duster. The TUV 300 score high in the department of the wheelbase too as it has the longest 2860mm followed by the Duster, Creta and finally the EcoSport. It is because of ...
