Pros – Battery life – Aesthetics and design – Lower-specced variant one of the cheapest 5G phones in the market – Impressive main camera – 3.5mm jack – Expandable Storage and virtually expandable RAM – Vibrant LCD display Cons – Mono speaker – No OIS in any of the cameras – No IP rating – 15W charging, with no charging brick in the box – Bezels and bottom chin Price: Rs 20,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant Rating: 4/5 Although smartphone manufacturers tend to focus most of their resources in hyping up their flagship devices, it is the mid-range segment where they face some of their fiercest competition. The first smartphone that Samsung launched this year, the Galaxy A14 5G may look rather simple and plain on the surface. However, considering that it costs Rs 20,999 for the top, 8GB + 128GB variant, and can be had for cheaper after discounts and offers, we have to say that the device has the potential to shape up to be one of the best 5G devices under Rs 20,000.

Owning a car used to be simple – you put up a down payment and financing a portion of the car or you put down the entire amount to buy the car. Once you bought the car, you paid for the fuel, the annual insurance premiums, and at regular intervals, paid to get your car serviced. You really owned your car. But will that continue to be the case in the future? If the automobile industry has its way, they don’t want you to own your car, not completely at least. Car makers want you to pay more for the car you “own” and keep on paying till you have the car in your possession. And how do they go about doing it? By charging you for features that your car already has. A scary scenario Imagine this – you are out for a drive in your brand-new car after a hard week at the office.

A team of European researchers and scientists said on Monday that they have successfully guided lightning for the first time using a laser beam in the hopes that the method will help people avoid lethal lightning strikes and perhaps even cause them in the future. Worldwide, lightning hits 40–120 times per second, killing more than 4,000 people each year and incurring billions of dollars in damage. Yet the lightning rod, which was invented by American polymath Benjamin Franklin in 1749, continues to be the primary defence against these aerial bolts. Since years, a group of scientists from six research institutes has been attempting to use the same concept but utilise a far more complex and accurate laser in lieu of the basic metal pole. Now, they explain utilising a laser beam, shot from the peak of a Swiss mountain to guide a lightning bolt for more than 50 metres in a study that was just published in the journal Nature Photonics.

If there’s one skill or power that every child who wanted to be a spy or superhero wished they had, it would have to be the ability to see through walls. Thanks to a team of Canadian engineers, real-life spies might be a step closer to this phenomenon.  A team of engineers and researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a drone that has the ability to see through walls. Well, sort of. What the team of engineers have done is made a drone that uses WiFi networks, to locate WiFi-enabled devices and create a rough map of sorts of where each device is present within a room. The drone has been named Wi-Peep. The way it works is that an operator will fly the device as close to a building as possible. Once it is up and close to the room it needs to check out, the operator will then run a programme which utilises the WiFi networks of the inhabitants to locate any WiFi-enabled devices in the building. The Wi-Peep then exploits a connectivity loophole called “polite WiFi.” Ev...
