Android users need more control over their app experience
There are some great options out there the Play Store just can’t compete with
These apps let you download free apps and games just like the Play Store
If you’re trying to download an app for your Android phone, the first thing you’ll do is visit the Google Play Store unless you’re a power user. However, there will be times when an app is not available on the same, either because of regional restrictions or because the app doesn’t adhere to Google’s terms and conditions. At that point, Android’s open-source nature saves the day. You can install third-party app stores and download apps from them just like you use Google Play Store.
APKMirror
APKMirror is one of the most reliable places to sideload apps onto your Android device. It lets you download tons of free Android APKs; no premium apps are available here. However, there isn’t an Android app specifically for APKMirror. Therefore, users have to visit the website and download the APK. It is safe to download the apps from this Google Play alternative because they are free of malware. The apps are listed chronologically on the homepage, and you can also access weekly, daily, and monthly popularity charts.
With a well-designed user interface and a design that adheres to Google standards, Aptoide offers an almost identical experience as the Play Store. Aptoide’s open-source app store has over 700,000 Android apps. Its collection has been downloaded by 3 billion times. Since its launch in 2009, it has been used by over 150 million people worldwide. It is a secure and easy-to-use Android app store.
Samsung Galaxy Store
The Samsung Galaxy Store now offers a classic app store experience if you’re looking for that. Unfortunately, not all devices have access to the Galaxy Store. This app is only available on Samsung Galaxy devices that are part of the app library by default. The store offers fewer apps than Google. But all you have to do is connect it to your Samsung account and it includes exclusives like the mobile version of Fortnite, which isn’t offered on the Play Store.
TapTap
TapTap is a dedicated app store for games and a legitimate substitute for the various games available on the Google Play Store. You can have noticed that certain titles not yet listed on the Play Store are already open for pre-registrations as exclusives on TapTap. The fact that some of the more intense games like Valorant mobile are only accessible through pre-registration on TapTap suggests that the store is expanding to compete with Google. Many of the titles available here are also available on the Play Store, and you can find additional titles classified by preferences and personal preferences.
Tecno Pova 4 launched in India as a budget gaming phone with Helio G99 chipset
Flaunts 6.8-inch 90Hz display
Powered by Helio G99 chipset with 8GB RAM
Sports 50MP dual rear and 8MP single selfie camera
Packed with a 6,000 mAh battery and 18W fast charging
Will be sold via Rs. Amazon at Rs. 11,999
Tecno has officially expanded its Pova smartphone lineup with the launch of the Pova 4 in India. The latest Pova series phone comes as a mid-range option features a new design language and upgrades internals compared to its successor. The Tecno Pova 4 has arrived in the Indian market with the Heli G99 budget chipset and a massive 6,000 mAh battery unit. Check its full specifications and pricing details below:
The Tecno Pova 4 wears a diamond-cut design at the rear which combined with the glossy surface looks trendy. At its core, the Pova 4 employs the octa-core Helio G99 chipset as its brain of operations. The mid-range gaming processor further employs a Mali G57 GPU for graphics and 8GB RAM for multitasking. Storage requirements are handled by a built-in 128GB memory capacity.
There is also external microSD card support to address the storage crunch issue. The firmware pre-installed on the Pova 4 is Android 12 OS which is layered with a HiOS 12 custom user interface on top. Moving on to the remaining hardware aspects, the Tecno Pova 4 features an IPS LCD screen that measures 6.82 inches. The tall panel on this mid-range Tecno phone supports 720 x 1640 pixels screen resolution and 90Hz refresh rate.
The Pova 4 has a tiny in-display camera cutout that houses an 8MP camera for selfies and video calling/ conferencing. At the rear, there are two cameras including a 50MP main sensor and an AI lens. A side-mounted fingerprint handles the biometrics for added privacy.
Connectivity aspects are standard with the device compatible with 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Wrapping up the Tecno Pova 4’s spec sheet is a humongous 6,000 mAh battery along with 18W fast charging.
The Tecno Pova 4 will be available in a single 8GB RAM and 128GB storage option that will cost Rs. 11,999 in India. The brand has scheduled the first sale on December 13. The Pova 4 will be available in blue and grey shades via Amazon on the aforementioned date.
Overall, the Tecno Pova 4 seems to be a fine deal for consumers looking for phones close to Rs. 10,000 price range. The big 50MP primary camera along with the 6,000 mAh battery setup is the primary factor why you should consider this handset. Also, the mid-range gaming chipset from MediaTek will allow for a decent user experience with all kinds of tasks.
Apple has established itself as a premium tech brand with its high-end devices such as iPhone, iPad, AirPods, and Apple Watch. However, the Cupertino tech giant is all set to take a big leap with its first electric car. The self-driven Apple Electric car is rumored to be under development for a while and rumors were rife it could go official by 2025. But seems like we will have to wait an additional year to experience Apple’s in-house electric car ride. Here are all the developments you should know:
Apple Self-Driven Electric Car Launch Delayed
Apple’s electric car project apparently has taken a setback as per some online reports. The electric vehicle from the Cupertino tech giant which was earlier tipped to be announced sometime in 2025 will now possibly see the light of day in 2026.
It has been a few years since Apple started developing its first-ever electric vehicle taking a big leap from the consumer electronics segment. Apple earlier anticipated the completion of this project called Titan to build its electric car by 2025 years. But now we will have to wait a year extra to drive the Apple Electric car.
Why Is Apple Postponing Its Electric Car Launch To 2026?
A major design overhaul and the addition of features is said to be the primary reason for the delay in the launch of the Apple electric car. Previously, the brand had the vision to build an autonomous car with full self-driving capabilities. The Apple Electric car with self-driving features could be a possibility in the future but not for now.
Also, the previous prototype design was based on a limousine style with the passengers seating face to face and no steering control since it was being developed as a fully autonomous car. However, the brand will now be shifting back to the traditional car design and will add a driver’s seat, steering wheel, and also pedals for acceleration and braking.
Apple will be adding the self-driving mode but that will be specific for highways. This driving mode will allow users to ride hands-free and watch videos or play games on-the-go. Furthermore, online reports suggests the Apple Car will be launched with the self-driving mode initially in North America and will be later made available in other markets as well.
When Is Apple Electric Car Launching Globally And How Much It Will Cost?
The Apple Electric Car will be launching in 2026 at around $100,000 (approx. Rs. 81,53,449). This is a reduced cost. Previously, Apple estimated around $120,000 cost for its electric car. But since it’s cutting down on the technologies and the fully autonomous concept, the pricing will get cheaper.
The electric scooter is the company’s flagship offering
Customers can also take immediate deliveries of the Ola S1 Pro
Ola Electric’s “December to Remember” campaign has launched special discounts for the month of December. The Ola S1 Pro electric scooter receives a flat discount of Rs. 10,000 as part of the year-end offers, effectively making the asking price Rs. 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom). In addition, the company has announced affordable monthly EMIs starting at just Rs. 2,499 and zero down payments, with interest rates starting at 8.99 percent.
Customers who purchase an Ola Electric scooter additionally benefit from no processing fees on vehicle financing and additional discounts on select credit cards. The manufacturer added that all of its experience centers are giving immediate deliveries across all of its experience centers as well as free charging at its Hypercharge network for up to one year.
Additionally, a referral program is available to the existing Ola customers, and the company will be giving away 10 free S1 Pro scooters to the winners of the raffle contest held at the experience center. However, there is no special discount for the recently launched S1 Air.
In terms of sales, Ola Electric has been in the lead for premium EVs (Rs. 1 lakh and above). The company claimed to have sold over 20,000 vehicles in November of this year and to have a revenue market share of 50 percent in the industry. Priced starting at Rs. 84,999 for the S1 Air, Rs. 99,999 for the S1, and Rs. 1.40 lakh (without discount) for the S1 Pro, the electric scooters are made in India. All prices include the FAME subsidy and are ex-showroom. The company is also expanding its experience centers, with 50 now operational and approximately 100 expected to open across the nation by the end of this month. By March 2023, Ole Electric hopes to have 200 centers operational.
