WhatsApp tests sharing your status to your Facebook Story
WhatsApp's latest beta adds a new feature that's bound to be at least a little bit controversial: sharing your Status to your Facebook Story. This however does not imply linking your WhatsApp user ID to your Facebook account, the company insists, as it's using the standard Android and iOS data sharing APIs. That means you can also share your WhatsApp Status to other apps - Instagram, Gmail, Google Photos, and so on. And when you do share data to another Facebook-owned service like Instagram, the company says the two posts will be separate events in its systems, and will not be...

Our Samsung Galaxy A30 video review is up
Samsung has revamped its mid-range lineup this year, and the A series devices now have two digits after the letter. As its name implies, the Galaxy A30 is far from the highest-end of the bunch (that honor goes to the A80, for now), but it is an interesting contender nevertheless, with its water drop notch on its Infinity-U Super AMOLED display, big battery, and octa-core chipset. So how do its specs actually fare in the real world, once you get to know the handset a little bit better? You can check out our brand new video review of the Galaxy A30, embedded below, to find the answer to that...

Review: 2018 TVS Radeon long term review, second report
I don’t discriminate when it comes to motorcycles, but let’s face it – some bikes are just more exciting than others. Prior to my stint with the TVS Radeon, I didn’t really think commuters had much in way of character. The little Radeon, however, has changed that, to some extent. This TVS fits right into my commute and it has cut down my cost of travel significantly. As a matter of fact, it reduced my travel time too, as compared to travelling by Mumbai’s public transport.
Having squeezed the Radeon through the tiniest of gaps around the city for a couple weeks, I wanted to see how it faired on the highway. So one weekend, I rode to Dahanu, about 140km to the north of Mumbai – a majority of which is on the very smooth and fast NH48. For most of my journey, I had the throttle pinned all the way and this had the Radeon maintain a little above 80kph. At these speeds, the engine doesn’t feel overly stressed but a full tuck got me closer to the 90kph mark; at this point, you can really feel the vibrations at the foot pegs, and then the handlebar. Doing this for longer durations will leave you with a tingling sensation from all the vibrations.
In the 1,000-odd km I’ve ridden it, I’ve found a few things I really like. Firstly, the sound – an Apache-like rumble that’s most familiar when you roll off the throttle. It cracks and pops, too! Then there’s the fuel efficiency. Previous tests of the Radeon saw 78.5kpl on the highway, while the figure dropped to 57.7kpl in the city. On my trip to Dahanu, with the engine at the limit most of the time, I managed to squeeze out 42.4kpl. Quite impressive, considering what the bike had to put up with.
So far, I’ve only been disappointed by the braking performance. It’s dull and the front needs a massive pull at the lever for a quick stop, but I suppose that is expected of a drum-brake setup. The Radeon also comes with SBT (Synchronized Braking Technology), which is a welcome safety addition, especially if you’re someone who tends to primarily use the rear brake. The bike has not been entirely trouble-free, though, and we did face the unusual case of a snapped clutch cable. Clutch cables do wear out and will snap over the lifetime of a motorcycle, but 3,000km is far too early for one that’s only been subject to regular, everyday use.
Aside from the hassle of getting the clutch cable fixed, the Radeon has been a likeable partner and one that does its best to ensure that my wallet has to leave the safety of my pocket as infrequently as possible.
