While this makes it possible to use it professionally as well as for gaming, the design might seem a bit boring to some. The monitor comes with a lightweight design, weighing just 5.6 kg with the stand, which is decent when you consider that it comes with a 27-inch display. It can be easily moved and carried around when needed, which will come in handy for gamers. <div type="image" title="Rear" msid="112269827" hostid="261" sizebytes="50080" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gigabyte GS27Q rear design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor features an all-plastic back in black colour. It comes with thin bezels on the three sides with a large chin at the bottom that features the company’s name. <div type="image" title="Back logo" msid="112269834" hostid="261" sizebytes="72880" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gigabyte logo at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor also comes with Gigabyte branding at the back. <div type="image" title="Stand" msid="112269841" hostid="261" sizebytes="74196" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gigabyte GS27Q stand&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor’s stand is not height adjustable, meaning you cannot adjust the height according to your needs. However, it does come with tilt support, which allows you to make slight changes. The stand comes with a small flat base, that keeps it stable. For connectivity, the monitor offers two HDMI 2.0 ports, a Displayport 1.4 and a headphone jack. <h2>Display and performance</h2>Coming to the display, the Gigabyte GS27Q monitor features a 27-inch IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution. It offers a refresh rate of 165 Hz, 300 nits of brightness, HDR ready and a response time of 1ms (MPRT). The monitor comes with AMD FreeSync Premium technology that ensures that you can have a blur-free gaming experience with minimal stuttering and no tearing. I played fast-paced games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Forza Horizon 4 while using the monitor. It is a treat to play games, especially fast-paced first person shooters and racing games on the monitor. The gameplay on the Gigabyte GS27Q was smooth and there was no motion blur or tearing. The high refresh rate and adaptive sync ensure that you have an excellent gaming experience. The monitor comes with several pre-sets, allowing you to choose between best modes depending on your use. Additionally, it also offers features such as an on-screen timer, customisable crosshairs and an aim stabiliser to help improve your gaming experience. The monitor comes with black equalizer technology that also came in handy, especially in games that had darker areas where it was easy for enemies to usually hide, giving me an edge. <h2>Verdict</h2>The Gigabyte GS27Q is a feature-packed gaming monitor that ticks off a lot of the right boxes, including a good display, a high refresh rate and a fast response time. It offers good colour accuracy and delivers good brightness. The gaming monitor from Gigabyte misses out on things like a speaker and height adjustable stand. Overall, it is a good option if you are looking for a reliable gaming monitor that offers a high refresh rate and resolution, the Gigabyte GS27Q is a good option.

The camera module on the rear is rather large that gave us very Poco X2 and OnePlus 7T feels. There's Gorilla Glass 5 on the front, rear and camera module. The <keyword id="1691999" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="sides">sides</keyword> of the device are made up of plastic. On the right side of the device are volume rockers and right below, you get a power button that comes with an integrated fingerprint scanner.

On the top, you get an IR blaster, secondary mic and at the bottom, the phone features a USB Type-C port for charging, along with a headphone jack. The smartphone features a 6.67-inch full-HD+ (1,080x2,400 pixels) waterdrop-style notch display with up to 120Hz adaptive sync refresh rate. Further, the display is HDR and HDR10+ compliant. Mi 10i features one of the class-leading displays available in the market - 120Hz Intelligent AdaptiveSync display with 6 step refresh rate technology. The Intelligent 'AdaptiveSync Display' technology automatically matches the screen refresh rate with the content frame rate, guaranteeing a smooth experience and optimum battery usage. The HDR10+ capable panel appeared good while playing games as well as while streaming content on various OTT platforms. The Mi 10i has a quad rear camera setup that includes a 108MP Samsung HM2 sensor with 1/1.52-inch sensor size, 9-in-1 pixel binning, 2.1um superpixel, and f/1.75 aperture. There's an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor as well with 120-degree field of view and f/2.2 aperture. Additionally, there is a 2MP macro lens and a 2MP depth lens as well. Rear camera features include six long exposure modes, HDR, Google Lens, Night Mode 2.0, Pro mode, panorama, raw mode, 4k video recording and more. During the tests, the Mi 10i managed to click some great shots. Upfront, the Mi 10i has a 16MP selfie camera with f/2.45 aperture and 1.0-micron pixel size. Front camera features include Night Mode 1.0, AI Beautify, AI Portrait Mode, full-HD video recording, and more. The selfie camera is good enough and selfie portraits captured sharp images too. Mi 10i is equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G based on 8nm Process Technology for power efficiency. Joining the 5G bandwagon, this smartphone features X52 modem for lightning-fast 5G connectivity. The phone ran without any issue. Playing games like Call of Duty: Mobile on the device didn't disappoint either. The Xiaomi Mi 10i still runs on MIUI 12 based on Android 10. The OS is stable with no noticeable lags. The device packs a 4,820mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. With the moderate usage, the battery lasted around a day. The phone went from 0 to up to 100% battery in just 58 minutes. Conclusion: Mi 10i integrates the best of both hardware and software, giving a seamless user experience. At the given price point, the smartphone is definitely a winner and will pose a stiff challenge for its competitors like OPPO, Vivo and Realme.

Best 16GB RAM laptops in India to buy in 2023

Best memory cards in India

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>A pair of documents obtained by <a href="http://www.weibo.com/p/1001593746053840081450">GeekBar</a> and spotted by <a href="http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/leaked-iphone-6-schematic-confirms-128gb-version-44909/">GforGames</a> on Thursday (<a href="http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/08/21/another-purported-iphone-6-document-suggests-apple-may-offer-128gb-model">via Apple Insider's Neil Hughes</a>) suggest Apple may offer its next-generation iPhone in a 128GB storage capacity.
Apple has only sold its iPhones in three capacities: 16, 32, and 64 gigabytes. Apple sells iPad and iPod models with 128GB of storage, but no iPhones just yet.
According to the documents, Apple will sell one iPhone 6 model with an alleged 128GB of flash storage built by Toshiba, as well as 16GB and 64GB models built by Hynix, Nynix, and SanDisk. The document makes no mention of a 32GB iPhone 6.
Currently, that 32GB iPhone model is important for Apple's pricing structure, which adds a $100 value every time the storage capacity is doubled. So a 16GB iPhone 5S costs $199 on a two-year contract, the 32GB model costs $299, and the 64GB model starts at $399. 
If Apple removes the 32GB capacity but adds the 128GB model, it could upsell potential customers to buy the 64GB model, if not the 128GB model, which would ensure iPhone 6 owners can store tons of videos, apps, and music. However, it's also possible these documents simply omitted the 32GB iPhone 6 for one reason or another, which would give Apple an expanded pricing structure and thus, a higher starting price for the 128GB iPhone 6 - possibly around $499.
These documents follow a <a href="http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/06/26/rumor-apple-to-limit-128gb-iphone-6-option-to-55-inch-model">June report out of China</a> that said Apple was considering a 128GB iPhone, but reserving that capacity as an exclusive option for the rumored 5.5-inch iPhone 6 model. This would be another upselling strategy, to get customers to buy the bigger and more expensive iPhone just to enjoy more storage. 
We ought to know for sure <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-6-september-9-event-2014-8">on Sept. 9</a>, which is when Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone. 
The company's eighth-generation iPhone is expected to include a larger and higher-resolution display, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/a-sketchy-rumor-about-the-iphone-6-battery-isnt-so-farfetched-2014-8">a bigger battery</a>, next-generation 802.11 ac Wi-Fi, and a thinner, rounder form factor likely measuring <a href="http://theroundcorners.com/2014/04/26/the-iphone-6-as-in-6-millimeters/">6mm</a> deep. It will also ship with iOS 8 built-in.

An Alleged Apple Document Claims Existence Of A 128GB iPhone 6

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>So you're getting ready to buy a new smartphone, but you're not sure which carrier to choose. Deciding on a carrier can be difficult - there are a lot of different plans to digest, and sometimes it's just unclear as to which company is offering the best deal.
We've broken down exactly what each carrier has to offer in terms of individual and shared plans. Here's a quick look at what you can expect to get from Verizon, AT&amp;T, Sprint, and T-Mobile.
<h2>Verizon</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="Verizon" title_caption="Verizon coverage map" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/541c1e5a69bedd4572834893-960/verizonmap.png"></a><a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/4g-lte.html">Verizon</a>Verizon coverage map</div></div></div>
<a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/shop/shop-data-plans/single-line-data-plans.html">Verizon </a>has a few different options for those who want to buy a phone on a two-year contract. With Verizon, you'd pay a $40 fee that gives your smartphone access to Verizon's network (this is standard across carriers) and pricing for data depends on how many gigabytes you need per month.
Here's what Verizon has to offer. All prices are per-month. And there are many options:
<ul>
<li>$15 for 250MB of data</li>
<li>$30 for 500MB</li>
<li>$40 for 1GB</li>
<li>$50 for 2GB</li>
<li>$60 for 3GB</li>
<li>$70 for 4GB</li>
<li>$80 for 6GB</li>
<li>$90 for 8GB</li>
<li>$100 for 10GB</li>
<li>$110 for 12GB</li>
<li>$120 for 14GB</li>
<li>$130 for 16GB</li>
<li>$140 for 18GB</li>
<li>$150 for 20GB</li>
<li>$225 for 30GB</li>
<li>$300 for 40GB</li>
<li>$375 for 50GB</li>
<li>$450 for 60GB</li>
<li>$600 for 80GB</li>
<li>$750 for 100GB</li>
</ul>
These prices are in addition to the $40 you would pay for line access each month. The latter bunch are obviously meant for large families and those that plan to share data across multiple devices. But if you can get by with 2GB of data, Verizon offers a flat rate of $60 that also includes unlimited talk and text for individual shoppers.
If you're sharing data with a spouse or family members, you could get 10GB of data to share between four smartphones for $100. Combine that with a $40 charge for each smartphone, and you end up paying $260 per month.
Verizon offers a discount if you opt for its Edge program, which lets you upgrade your phone every year, by chopping $10 off your data charges. So, if you opted for $60 for 3GB per month, you would only pay $50 for 3GB if you used Edge. The trick, however, is that you pay the full, unsubsidized cost of a phone. So, your iPhone that costs $200 with a contract, actually costs $650. That's why carriers are offering discounts on data to make these programs seem more appealing to consumers.
BOTTOM LINE: If you use data moderately, the Single Line plan (2GB for $60) is really the best option from Verizon for individual user since you don't need to pay a line access fee. Verizon also offers the most versatile lineup of data brackets, which could come in handy for large families that need to buy a lot of data for the month. 
<h3>AT&amp;T</h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="AT&amp;T" title_caption="AT&amp;T coverage map" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/541c1e7669beddaf75834894-960/at&amp;tcoveage.png"></a>AT&amp;TAT&amp;T coverage map</div></div></div>
<a href="http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/data-plans.html#fbid=lh83GU-mDsh">AT&amp;T's pricing</a> is pretty similar to Verizon's options. The cost for each data package is fairly standard:
<ul>
<li>$20 for 300MB</li>
<li>$25 for 1GB</li>
<li>$40 for 2GB</li>
<li>$70 for 4GB</li>
<li>$80 for 6GB</li>
<li>$100 for 10GB</li>
<li>$130 for 15GB</li>
<li>$150 for 20GB</li>
<li>$225 for 30GB</li>
<li>$300 for 40GB</li>
<li>375 for 50GB</li>
</ul>
You'll notice the 2GB option is slightly cheaper than Verizon's ($50). 
Just like Verizon, there's a $40 access cost for smartphones. However, if you opt for one of AT&amp;T's Next plans, which lets you upgrade every 12 or 18 months depending on your plan, you only pay $25 per month for line access.
If you decide to use Next, bring in your own device, or purchase a phone at full price, you could opt for AT&amp;T's $65 monthly plan. This gets you 2GB of data and unlimited talk and text just like Verizon's, although it's $5 more expensive.
AT&amp;T offers a few different options for those looking to share data between several people. If you're using AT&amp;T Next, bringing in your own device, or are buying a device at full price, you can pay $130 per month for two lines, $145 for three lines, and $160 for four lines. With that, you get 10GB of data to be shared between phones and unlimited talk, text, and data. 
For those who prefer the more traditional two-year contract route, you can choose how much data you want to share from the options in the bulleted list above. You would also have to pay the line access fee on top of that. (Again, that's $40 for two-year contract phones and $25 or $15 for AT&amp;T Next phones depending on how much data you go for).
BOTTOM LINE: AT&amp;T is really pushing its early upgrade plans, which let you pay off the full price of the phone over the course of 12 or 18 months. The data prices at AT&amp;T are priced standardly, but there's no real attractive bargain for those who just want a subsidized phone on a two-year contract. For example, you'd have to pay $80 per month for 2GB of data with a phone on a two year contract. That's probably you best bet if you use data moderately and want a two-year contract phone. Otherwise, if you plan on upgrading every year and paying your phone off monthly, the $65 individual plan is a good value. 
<h2>Sprint</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="Sprint" title_caption="Sprint coverage map" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/541c1e916bb3f7b901f1a554-960/sprintmap.png"></a>SprintSprint coverage map</div></div></div>
<a href="http://www.sprint.com/landings/datashare/index.html?INTNAV=ATG:HE:DataShare">Sprint's prices for data</a> are cheaper than both Verizon's and AT&amp;T's: 
<ul>
<li>$20 for 600MB</li>
<li>$25 for 2GB</li>
<li>$40 for 4GB</li>
<li>$70 for 8GB</li>
<li>$80 for 12GB</li>
<li>$90 for 16GB</li>
<li>$100 for 20GB</li>
<li>$130 for 32GB</li>
<li>$150 for 40GB</li>
<li>$225 for 60GB</li>
</ul>
Similar to AT&amp;T, Sprint requires that those who buy a subsidized phone on a two-year contract pay $40, while those who opt for Sprint Easy Pay, buy a phone at full price, or bring their own phone would pay either $25 or $15 per month. This depends on how much data you choose (if you decide on 20GB and up it's $15). 
If you're shopping for a new iPhone 6, Sprint is offering a special deal for single lines. You can pay $50 per month for unlimited data, talk, and text. If you're not buying an iPhone, you can get the same deal for $60 per month, which is still pretty cheap for unlimited data.
Sprint is offering some other temporary promotions too. If you sign up for Sprint before 2015, you can pay $100 to get 20GB of shareable data per month and unlimited talk and text without paying any access fees. Sprint is also offering to pay up to $350 via a Visa prepaid card for every line that switches to cover your early termination fee. 
BOTTOM LINE: Sprint's data prices are the cheapest, but like Verizon and AT&amp;T it's also catering towards those who opt for its early upgrade plan. For single lines, the $60 unlimited data, talk, and text deal is a great value. If you're buying a new iPhone, it's even cheaper ($50). But you can only get those deals if you use Sprint's Easy Pay plan. The $100 deal for 20GB of shared data is also a great deal if you need a family plan for around four people or so. The good news is that if you want to buy a subsidized phone on a two year contract, the regular pricing brackets for data are a bit cheaper than AT&amp;T and Verizon. 
<h2>T-Mobile</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="T-Mobile" title_caption="T-Mobile coverage map" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/541c1eae6bb3f7057bf1a55c-960/tmobilecoverage.png"></a>T-MobileT-Mobile coverage map</div></div></div>
For single lines, <a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/individual.html#tab-navigation">T-Mobile customers </a>have a few different options. With T-Mobile, you pay for the amount of 4G LTE data you want. Once you surpass that cap, T-Mobile slows down your speeds. So you're still getting unlimited data, but only the amount you pay for will run on its LTE network. Here's how the pricing breaks down:
<ul>
<li>$50 for 1GB</li>
<li>$60 for 3GB</li>
<li>$70 for 5GB</li>
<li>$80 for unlimited</li>
</ul>
T-Mobile also offers a Simple Starter plan for individual lines that gets you 2GB of 4G LTE data and unlimited talk and text for $45. While that's a good value when you compare it to paying $50GB for 1GB of 4G LTE, the catch here is that data is suspended when you go over your cap. It doesn't just slow down when you hit your limit like with T-Mobile's other options. Still, for the average user 2GB of data is more than enough to get by for a month.
For shared plans, T-Mobile allows you to add up to six lines. You can pay $80 for two lines, $90 for three lines, $100 for four lines, $110 for five lines, and $120 for six lines.
Those are all starting prices that change depending on how much data you choose. You can change the data allotment for each line, and select between 1GB of 4G LTE data, 3GB, 5GB, and unlimited. The data prices for your primary line remain the same as the individual plans listed above. But as you add more lines, those prices get cheaper for additional lines.
For example, if you have two lines, your second line would pay $30 for 1GB, $40 for 3GB, $50 for 5GB, and $60 for unlimited. Additional lines get cheaper than that too. If you add two more lines for the four line plan, each line would cost $10 for 2.5GB of unlimited 4G LTE, $20 for 3GB, $30 for 5GB, and $40 for unlimited. T-Mobile is also offering a discount until 2015 that gets you 4.5GB of data for what you would normally pay for 3GB if you buy four or more lines.
BOTTOM LINE: T-Mobile and Sprint are the only carriers that offer unlimited data. So if having unlimited data is important to you, you'll want to stick with T-Mobile. If you know that you regularly use around 2GB a month and are satisfied with that amount, you might want to try a different carrier. You can pay a little less for 2GB of high speed data at AT&amp;T or Sprint. With T-Mobile, you'd end up paying $50 for half that amount and then slow data speeds when to go over your cap. It's also worth noting that T-Mobile has the most flexible options when it comes to sharing. You can hand pick how much data each line gets rather than buying a bulk amount for the month and sharing it. 
<h2>So who has the best deal?</h2>
COVERAGE: It depends on what you're looking for, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, you'll want to make sure your area is covered. If you check out coverage maps for AT&amp;T and Verizon, you'll notice that the entire east coast and large chunks of the midwest and west coast are covered by their 4G LTE networks. Sprint also covers most of the East Coast, but leaves a few more open pockets in the northwest region. The case is the same with T-Mobile - there's a big area in the northwest region around Montana that's left uncovered, and the coverage map doesn't specify which areas are covered by 4G LTE versus 3G.
You'll also want to consider how fast these networks are. According to recent tests from <a href="http://www.cnet.com/news/4g-lte-showdown-how-fast-is-your-carrier/">CNET</a>, Verizon and T-Mobile generally had faster average download and upload rates than their competitors. AT&amp;T didn't fall too far behind, but Sprint's rates were much lower than the other three.
No matter how cheap a plan is, it doesn't matter if you can't get the coverage you need. The best thing you can do is find out which carrier or carriers have the best coverage where you live or travel the most.
BOTTOM LINE: If you want a traditional two-year contract and don't care about unlimited data, try Verizon. The $60 single line plan is a decent deal if you need your own plan and with moderate to heavy data usage. There are also tons of options on the higher end that can be shared between other family members. 
T-Mobile also offers a lot of flexibility for family plans, since you get to hand pick how much data each line gets to use. Sprint and T-Mobile are also the only carriers that offer unlimited data, so if that's important to you then you may want to consider their deals. Sprint's unlimited plan is only available for the iPhone, however.

Which Carrier Is The Best? Here's How Data Prices Compare For Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, And T-Mobile

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image"><a title_source="Apple" title_caption="A gold iPhone 6" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/541ad93f6bb3f7b4573c96dd-960/gold-iphone-10.jpg"></a>AppleA gold iPhone 6</div></div></div>
The reviews of the iPhone 6 are <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-6-first-reviews-2014-9">almost universally positive</a>. 
Critics like the the new design, the bigger screen, and most importantly, the software that powers the iPhone, iOS 8.
There is, however, <a href="http://daringfireball.net/linked/2014/09/17/iphones-6-pricing-and-storage">one complaint from John Gruber of Daring Fireball</a>. Gruber thinks Apple is bungling the iPhone's storage options.
The iPhone 6 is available in 16 gigabyte, 64 gigabyte, and 128 gigabyte configurations. Previously, the iPhone was in 16/32/64 GB setups. Apple doubled the capacities of the middle and high end offerings, but left the low end as is. 
"The original iPhone, seven years and eight product generations ago, had an 8 GB storage tier," says Gruber. "The entry-level iPhones 6 are 85 times faster than that original iPhone, but have only twice the storage capacity. That's just wrong. This is the single-most disappointing aspect of the new phones."

Owning a 16 GB iPhone 6 is just not reasonable. I have a 16 GB iPhone 5S and I can't upgrade to iOS 8 because I have too much stuff on my phone. I've deleted apps. I've deleted photos. Yesterday, lots of people were <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/cant-download-ios-8-2014-9">forced to blow up their phone</a>, killing apps and photos to get the latest software. That's not a pleasant, sustainable solution to the problem. 
The truth is that the iPhone is more of an iCamera than an iPhone. We take lots of photos with our phones. And with slo-mo video, we do more video. That takes up a lot of space.
Apple should make 32 GB the entry point for iPhones.
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image"><a title_source="IHS " title_caption="The iPhone 5S costs." class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/541ad9b1eab8ea26712c5ca9-960/screen shot 2014-09-18 at 9.09.01 am.png"></a><a href="https://technology.ihs.com/451425/groundbreaking-iphone-5s-carries-199-bom-and-manufacturing-cost-ihs-teardown-reveals">IHS </a>The iPhone 5S costs.</div></div></div>These new storage tiers look like Apple is trying to take care of its bottom line, not its customers, because there would be less of an impetus to spend an extra $100 for 64 GB of space if you have a 32 GB phone to start with.
 Since the $100 gap between the 16 GB and 64 GB iPhone 6 models is so big, Apple is nudging people to spend the money, which helps its margins. 
It would only cost Apple $9 extra per phone to use 32 GB as the entry point. According to a <a href="https://technology.ihs.com/451425/groundbreaking-iphone-5s-carries-199-bom-and-manufacturing-cost-ihs-teardown-reveals">teardown of last year's iPhone 5S</a>, 16 GB of storage costs Apple ~$9.40. 32 GB of storage is $18.80. And 64 GB is $29. 
By making the iPhone start at 16 GB, Apple is pushing people to the 64 GB tier, where it can collect an extra $70+ in profits. Apple has $16o billion in cash. There's no reason to be stingy and create a worse experience for users.
