Google Pixel 2 XL may be Google's first try towards a bezel less smartphone but still that phone too has some annoying bezels. To match up the levels of Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and iPhone X, Google may be working on a truly bezel less smartphone. Yes, few days ago, a image was found in Google Store which you can see above which certainly is not having any type of bottom bezel in my opinion. Things even got fired up when the image was removed from there. I mean why remove it if it is just a render? This clearly arises many questions about the next gen of Pixel smartphones lineup. While they are a thing which will be happening in October 2018 and it is very early to talk about that, Google working on a device such early to achieve the level of greatness is awesome.

With the release of OnePlus 5T, the company's latest and greatest flagship just right around the price of OnePlus and even keeping it the same in countries like India, everyone is treating and greeting it as a 'flagship killer, 'a must buy' or whatever. But just think, has OnePlus really did it correctly. I am talking of those who brought the OnePlus 5 just a few months ago. As of now, their device is just an older version or model of the country. The gap between the release of OnePlus 5 and the 5T is around 5 months only which will be approx. 150 days. Is this new T even really new? OnePlus 5 and 5T are both a great device but the 5 lacks many of those small things and gaps which have been now filled up by the 5T. But for me, that's not good if you released the previous model of your smartphone series just between the gap of a number of days. Those who brought the OnePlus 5 would be probably thinking if they could think of a wait for a few months at t...

After several days of release of Android 8.1 developer preview, many new features have been found and the the list is too long. However, there are almost UI changes and improvements rather than new features. So, here are the top 10 of all those new things. This writing is by Rachit Agarwal of Beebom . Here it is without any further due. 1. Automatic Light and Dark Themes Probably my favourite feature that is coming with the new 8.1 update is the support for automatic light and dark theme. The feature was launched with Pixel 2 which automatically changed the theme on the device depending on the type of wallpaper someone is using. For example, if you are using a light wallpaper, your phone will display the light theme, but if you change to a dark wallpaper, the theme also will automatically switch to a dark mode. I think the below pictures explain this better than my words can. If you love dark mode, you are going to love this update. 2. Battery Levels For Bluetooth Connec...

But there were some features missing in it which have now launched in these going weeks. So, let's talk about the top 5 of them and here are they all.

But now, you can change according to your preference either you want the voice of a male or a female. Just head into the assistant's settings and move into 'preferences'. You can now change the voice int 'voice' settings right there.
