Is the OnePlus 3 the most pocket friendly flagship?

Continuing our hunt for the best flagship phone of 2016 we look at the OnePlus 3. If this is any indicator of what’s coming up, then we do feel excited about the mobile phone future. OnePlus managed to stuff in a humongous 6GB of RAM, powerful processing and pretty much every flagship feature at a pocket friendly price.

5.5″ Quad HD 1080 x 1920 (401 ppi) AMOLED

Unplugged: amazing music machines

Unplugged is a weekly column to unplug from the digital world. This week we feature Wintergatan a Swedish folktronica band from Göteborg. Their unique blend of machines and music makes such a splendid unplugged listening experience. We cant make up our mind about which one is more unbelievable the amazing machines or the beautiful music made from it.

An App to calm your mind, yes its possible

Mindfulness is considered the new mantra for a more fulfilling life. The idea of staying in the present has been the cornerstone of many philosophies over the ages. Today’s mindfulness is the modern-day approach of calming the mind chatter devoid of the religious or philosophical associations. Calm is just the app to get us there over time. The app has many meditation and relaxation routines for daily practice.
