Market had a sharp trend reversal last week because of minutes. The previous week, market went to a new low below $250 Billion. Now that the free fall has stopped, the market has recovered significantly, touching a high of $338 Billion. We’re still far away from the all time high of $822 Billion in January. This is not a confirmed trend reversal for the market. Most Cryptocurrencies still follow Bitcoin and if Bitcoin goes down, so will the market.

As of now, the feature is only available for some WhatsApp beta users. WhatsApp added UPI-based payments feature to the messaging platform earlier this year that allows you to send money to other users on the platform. Until now, the feature only allowed you to send money to your contacts, but with the latest update for Android beta, the messaging platform has gained support to request money. To being with, the feature is limited to payments initiated by QR Code or UPI ID. Also, while sending payments is easy, right within your WhatsApp conversations, to request money, the process is a little different. WhatsApp Payments is only available in India, and is currently being tested before the official rollout. WhatsApp has also recently added a new feature to the messaging platform that allows you to download deleted media. The recent beta update also added a feature to lock voice message recording, making it easier to record long voice messages. Now, without any further a

Placing a ban on all regulated entities, including banks, from dealing in virtual currencies like bitcoins, the Reserve Bank of India said that it is exploring a "fiat digital currency". Welcoming the RBI's move to explore introduction of an official virtual currency in India, industry chamber Assocham on Sunday cautioned that extreme care be taken to ensure safety of the data trail that cryptocurrency transactions can leave behind. Placing a ban on all regulated entities, including banks, from dealing in virtual currencies like bitcoins, the Reserve Bank of India said on Thursday that it is exploring a "fiat digital currency".

The Nokia 7 Plus is built to last, and also remains functional. With a tall 18:9 display and dual camera made by Zeiss Optics, along with pure, stock Android, Nokia might have a bestseller in its hands. If 2017 was all about Nokia's reincarnation, then this year will be when HMD Global-backed Finnish brand consolidates itself. Which is what I took away from the launch of the new Nokia phones in India. While Espoo's debut last year was hindered by unrealistic pricing and backdated specs, it seems Nokia has listened to the feedback this time around and the result is the refreshed Nokia 6 (2018), Nokia 7 Plus and the gorgeous Nokia 8 Sirocco. Among them, I managed to get hold of the new Nokia 7 Plus today and played around with it for some time. Based on my initial impressions, the Nokia 7 Plus scores high on build quality and ease of use, but loses out on ergonomics. Knowing Nokia’s product philosophy of superior craftsmanship, real life experience and providing pure

As Android P gets closer to completion, we are starting to see many new features that Google's next mobile OS will come with, the Vulkan Graphics API 1.1 being the latest addition. Earlier this year in March, the Khronos Group had introduced the new Vulkan Graphics API 1.1 two years after the original version was announced. Support for Vulkan Graphics API was first made a part of Android with Nougat and now, Android P is said to come with support for Vulkan Graphics API 1.1 built-in. From a user perspective, this means that you get the latest graphics standard as a part of the next iteration of Android, but the real beneficiaries are the developers who now have access to a whole set of new features. Probably the biggest change in Vulkan Graphics API 1.1 is the addition of Subgroup Operations which allows for highly-efficient sharing and manipulation of data between a number of tasks that are running in parallel on a GPU. Other additions include support for secure playback an

Earlier this week, Intel announced a new range of processors and supporting hardware. We take a look at how they fit in the already long and confusing range of processors. Intel 8th gen processor lineup explained Earlier this week, Intel announced a new range of processors and supporting hardware. We take a look at how they fit in the already long and confusing range of processors. Intel 8th gen processor lineup explained Intel’s current generation of processor lineup is quite confusing as is, but it didn’t stop Intel from adding  11 laptop processors and 9 desktop processors along with its new H370, H310 and B360 chipsets to its portfolio. These new 8th gen Intel processors join the already available 5 laptop class processors and 6 desktop processors. Combined, this brings the total count on mobile processors to 16 parts (not counting 5 G-series processors). On the desktop side, there are now 15 parts. So, it is a legitimate question to ask, which one to buy or inv
