iPhone 13 Review: How’s it Different from the iPhone 12

The good-looking iPhone 13 has stolen the limelight with its flawless performance and amazing camera. The new iPhone comes with a couple of upgrades over the iPhone 12 including a bigger battery, advanced processor, smarter camera and better display. Let’s talk about all these aspects of the new iPhone 13 in detail: Design The iPhone 13 shares similar looks with the iPhone 12. It has a glass back flat screen design and aluminium chassis with rounded edges, which is already there in the iPhone 12.

Nokia Windows Mango 7.5 Phone Review - The Good & The Bad Things

When everybody was expecting Nokia to finally adapt to Android OS, the Finnish cellphone manufacturer decided to count upon Microsoft for improving its market presence. It was 6 months back, Nokia officially announced that its new phone will be running on Windows. And the company has recently launched two Windows phones, Lumia 800 and 710 in market. Running on OS 7.5 Mango, both the phones have received a mixed response in market. Now, the next big question is, will Nokia be able to re-establish itself in the market with Windows mobile? Microsoft’s Philosophy Microsoft doesn’t believe in post PC World. The software giant has always tried to keep the products in its very own ecosystem. This is quite apparent when we see that most of the Microsoft’s software are compatible with most PCs.
