If you are a fan of bigger displays with thinner bezels, here is our list of top smartphones which boast the newer display design, and are priced under Rs 40,000.

After almost 12 years and for the first time ever, YouTube has a new identity in the form of an updated logo. The new logo also serves as YouTube’s app icon and can be seen in on the website as well.

Sarahah app exposed for quietly uploading users' contacts to company servers without proper permissions

The anonymous messaging app Sarahah has been uploading your phone’s contacts to the company’s servers without your knowledge or permission. The security loophole was first discovered by analyst Zachary Julian and The Intercept was the first publication to report the same. The harvesting of a user's contacts is a big setback for users of the Sarahah app and opens them up to multiple security risks. Sarahah's privacy policy states that it will not sell user data to third parties unless it is part of bulk data used for statistics and research. The Sarahah app has recorded millions of downloads on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store combined.
