XYRA is a new company that manufactures some innovative products and accessories. The previous product that XYRA launched was a powercard (powerbank) that fits in your pocket. This time the company is aiming at a common problem that most people have to go through while charging their smartphones, i.e. checking the orientation of the connectors. So we are sharing with you the XYRA XL fully Reversible USB cable review. I used this cable for quite a few days to test the durability and other features that the company promises. Here are the results of what I experienced and how I feel about this accessory.
XYRA XL Fully Reversible USB cable Review :
Design
Reversible USB 2.0 and Micro USB
I know you may be thinking that I am trying to make a hype out of a USB syncing cable, but trust me it has some good quality when it comes to the build and design. Unlike the traditional cables that had a fibre cover or plastic covering, the XYRA XL cable comes with both the coatings. On the inside, it has a fibre coating and on the top it is covered with plastic to give more strength along with the look of fibre. The connectors have a anodized aluminium coating to prevent it from losing its shine or catch rust. The USB syncing cable has a premium look and is available in 4 colors viz. Gold, Rose Gold, Space Grey and Silver.
Fibre+Plastic coating
Features
Dual Oriented connectors
Fabric+Plastic coating
1.5m cable length
Lightning and Micro-USB variants
As you must have known about the key feature by the title fully reversible, that means you can flip the Micro-USB (or lightning connector) and the USB 2.0 both for connecting it with your smartphone or other devices. So from now on no need to look at the orientation of the connectors, just plug it in like a DC jack or a 3.5mm audio jack. One more thing that we still hate about the USB cables is the length which is 1m in most cases. But power users like me would prefer a bit longer cable and that is fulfilled here as the XYRA XL cable measures 1.5m in length. Apart from that its tough plastic coating prevents it from getting tangled and the plastic clasp helps in keeping the cable wrapped. The USB syncing cable is meant for charging as well as syncing data with your PC/Laptop. It comes in two variants, Lightning connector to USB for APPLE devices and Micro-USB to USB for Android, Windows, Blackberry devices.
Availability and Pricing
The price of the cable on Amazon for the Micro-USB variant is $9.99 and for the Lightning is $16.99. Now this is where I think the things would have been better if the pricing was kept low. For the Indian market this is too much cost for a USB syncing cable considering its features. But if you have no budget constraint then you should definitely go for this cable, and I am sure it will not disappoint you in any of its features.

BBM(Blackberry messenger) was the only unique feature left in Blackberry mobile phones. It was one of the main reason Blackberry was still having its users.

We will come to our main topic, how to get BBM for Android and iOS in few moments. Till then let us see some news update about it.
Initially we heard from Blackberry that, BBM will come to Android Play Store and Apple App store on June 27. This news was updated by T-Mobile in a tweet, but recently they have deleted the tweet.
According to sources, Blackberry had conformed that the news of launching BBM on Android and iOS on 27 is inaccurate. The official statement from Blackberry is
On May 14th, BlackBerry announced plans to make its ground-breaking mobile social network, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), available to iOS and Android users this summer, subject to approval by the Apple App Store and Google Play. While there have been reports that BBM will be available to iOS and Android on June 27th, this is not accurate. We will communicate an update as soon as we have an availability date to share.
Now we don’t have any perfect launch dates. But nothing to worry about. You can be the first to know and download BBM as soon as it is available for Android and iOS. Lets see how.

Viber is a mobile app that allows you to make free calls, and send free messages,pictures to your friends and family. Both the parties must have viber installed on their phone, with a internet connection enabled. Viber is available for android, iphone, windows and other major mobile platforms. At the start of this month, viber launched its app for PC supporting Windows and Mac OS. One of the major feature of ‘Viber Desktop’ is that, you can transfer ongoing calls from pc to mobile.
Introducing Viber Desktop
Initially we used to operate viber from mobile, but now after the launch of its Desktop version, we can directly use it from pc too. When you are at office or home use it from PC, and while travelling you can switch to Mobile. Typing from the mobile keyboard is not convenient every-time, so now have the comfort to use it from pc.
These are some common features of Viber. Apart from these, let us see some other good features that the app offers.
Sync
Contacts and messages are automatically synced between desktop app and mobile app unlike apple messages. Whenever you install Viber Desktop you will find all your contacts and messages So you can easily switch devices and continue your conversations where you left off.
Transfer Ongoing Calls
Suppose you made a call from Viber Desktop, and you are talking to your friend. Suddenly you have to go out and want to continue the call from mobile. So you can just press the transfer button, and the call will be transferred to mobile app.
Transfer call from pc to mobile
Using this feature you are never restricted to one device. Have the freedom to move whenever you want using Viber desktop.
So these are some amazing feature that viber has introduced with its Desktop version.

Today we will see, how to find name of unknown caller using a app called True Caller. This will also give you information like service provider and the location(may be incorrect) of the unknown number.

After searching, it will give you the name, service provider and the location (may be incorrect) of the unknown caller.
