Cesses will make many services expensive, but the real hit may be the tax on EPF, though there is no clarity on this front yet.

Is this miniature version of the flagship LG G3 worth its price tag?

LG has introduced a miniature version of its flagship smartphone, the LG G3 Beat. Adorning a metal finish rear panel, it looks like a smaller version of the G3.

The handset features a 5-inch IPS display with 2,540 mAh battery combined with 1.3 GHz quad core processor.

Xiaomi also allows users to get rid of pre-installed apps they do not want to use, a much-needed feature in all smartphones.

The biggest highlight of the LG G3 is its display. The 5.5-inch QHD display with 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution is just superb.

The Mi 3 packs in a 13MP camera, which is the best in its price category.

Breaking the stereotype of the new flagship smartphone replicating the looks of its predecessor, LG has done a superb job with the LG G Pro 2.

LG's new smartphone promises fast auto-focusing and one-touch controls on its 13-megapixel camera.

LG G Flex, the phone with curve, may offer everything but is too expensive at Rs 69,990.

For every buyback offer, the respective company passes on the benefit to the retailer.

The last year saw the launch of a number of flagship smartphones that were capable of giving the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 a run for their money. Barely three months into the new year, we already have the wraps off some of the new flagships phones.

The device is said to be a 'lightweight' version of the LG G2 and include a Quad HD display, a 64-bit processor, and a 16-megapixel rear camera.

The Mobile World Congress 2014 is all set to kick off at its usual venue in Barcelona from February 24. A curtain raiser on what to expect from the biggies.

High Definition resolution has hijacked our gadgets and got us addicted. Nothing less than full HD satisfies us. Our TVs and phones were already streaming full HD content, Now laptops too are going beyond 1366 x 768 pixels and have full HD displays.

Big names such as Nokia, Sony, Lenovo and Acer are all gearing up with new launches.

For the first time since June 2007, Apple launched two iPhones instead of one. While the Apple iPhone5s continues to steal the limelight in India, the iPhone 5c has its high points.

The relentless efforts of device makers to beat the competition through innovation or plain filching (often leading to patent issues) have only helped consumers. Some great devices have hit the stands in the last one year. Gadgets and Gizmos recommends the best of them.

Sony, once the top cameraphone company in India, has started reviving its design philosophy to gain a strong foothold in the highly competitive smartphone market. The company is thinking out of the box and the Xperia Z1 tries to live up to that.

For a change, the G2 from LG has come to India within weeks of its global launch. We think that is because LG wants to cash in on the success of the Nexus 4, which has made the brand popular here.
