You know a smartphone is special when you keep taking photos even after you’re technically done testing it. That happened with the OPPO Find X9 Ultra. I kept opening the camera app randomly throughout the day just because the experience itself was so addictive.  The Master Mode, the natural image processing, the insane 10X optical …

The Indian washing machine market is a $2 billion industry growing at 6-7% annually, fueled by a massive shift toward premium convenience. Fully automatic models now dominate with nearly 60% market share as urban buyers demand effortless “set-and-forget” automation. Yet, affordable semi-automatic units remain vital in rural areas, maintaining steady demand. In this highly competitive …

Last year, Circuit House, a startup founded by former Xiaomi and Flipkart team members, launched the Lumio Vision series in India and quickly made a mark in the premium TV segment. Their 2026 model features an EVA QD-MiniLED panel with 7,000:1 native contrast, 4K 144Hz refresh rate, a 50-watt dual-subwoofer audio system, and Android 14 …

The Nord CE Lite series is back after a two-year gap, and OnePlus has a lot riding on this return. The Nord CE4 Lite was among the highest-selling Android phones in its price segment during Amazon India’s Great Indian Festival 2024, which is a tough act to follow. The Nord CE6 Lite starts at ₹20,999 …

I’ve been observing the Indian laptop and ultrabook market for over five years now, and every time a machine gets announced at an ambitious price, someone inevitably asks, “But why not get a MacBook?” Well, Asus has been chipping away at that dynamic for a few years now, with its Zenbook S series, and the …

The Quick Take: Score: 7.5/10 The Maruti Suzuki Grand Virara is a dream for the mileage-obsessed buyer. Not only because it comes with a strong hybrid that effortlessly eeks out 20kmpl of fuel efficiency, but also because it is available in multiple fuel and transmission options. Furthermore, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara comes with all …

The mid-range TWS segment has become incredibly crowded over the last few years. Almost every pair of earbuds around ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 now promises flagship-level ANC, high-resolution audio, gaming modes, long battery life, and feature-heavy companion apps.  The realme Buds Air8 Pro build on the Buds Air8 foundation with a noticeably more refined approach. realme …

Most reviews focus on standard inverter AC features and efficiency ratings. The real question for buyers in India is whether the AI features perform as claimed under actual usage and local climate conditions. This review addresses that gap by evaluating the Desert Rose’s AI capabilities in a real-world setting. Testing was conducted in a 500–600 …

The realme 16T is a phone that creates a very strong first impression. The design looks premium, the battery is massive, and the basic feature list sounds impressive on paper. You get an 8000 mAh battery, IP69 rating, 144 Hz refresh rate, AI features everywhere, and a design that looks very similar to the much …

For the longest time, OPPO’s Enco Air lineup quietly disappeared from conversations around the best TWS earbuds in India. Other brands took over the segment with aggressive tuning, flashy features, and overloaded apps. Now, OPPO is finally back with the Enco Air5 Pro, and this comeback lands properly. At ₹5,000, these earbuds bring almost everything …

Compact and near-compact flagships are no longer niche products. Initially, I expected the Find X9s to be a proper 6.3-inch compact flagship. That unfortunately did not happen. Instead, the Find X9s ships with a 6.59-inch display, which still makes it smaller and easier to use than many traditional flagships, though it does not feel as …

The Infinix Note 60 Pro focuses on design, battery life, charging, display quality, and a few unique additions like the Active Matrix display on the back. It also marks an important shift for Infinix, as one of its first mainstream phones powered by a Snapdragon chipset. The phone starts at ₹30,999 and brings an aluminum …

There is a question every serious smartphone buyer eventually asks themselves, usually while standing in a store, weighing a phone they already know they’ll probably buy: Is this really the best I can do? For years, the honest answer has been frustratingly predictable. An iPhone Pro Max. Or a Samsung Galaxy Ultra. Everything else? Runner-up. …

The iQOO 15R brings a substantial shift in the company’s lineup. Earlier, this position in the series was held by the Neo models. This year iQOO has introduced the R branding alongside the main iQOO 15, presenting it as a more accessible companion while keeping the core philosophy of the series intact. At first glance, …

Foldables have improved massively over the last few years, though one issue always remained visible (literally): the crease. Every brand tried reducing it, hiding it, minimizing reflections around it, or making users forget about it entirely. The OPPO Find N6 is probably the first foldable where the crease actually stops being something you constantly notice …

The vivo T-series has historically focused on balancing performance, cameras, and battery life at a relatively competitive price between the ₹25,000 to ₹35,000 range. Last year’s T4 Pro followed that formula remarkably well, with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, a 50MP 3x periscope zoom, and a 6,500 mAh battery, making it one of the …

OnePlus is back with the Pad 4, and this time, you get a faster chip, a bigger battery, and software that is more polished with more features. It builds on what the previous Pad already did well, and with the chip upgrade, battery upgrade, and a few other improvements, this one just takes things further. …

The Nord CE lineup has usually focused on balancing performance, battery life, and software while keeping prices slightly lower than the main Nord series. The Nord CE5 followed that formula fairly well with a capable Dimensity chipset, decent cameras, and surprisingly good software support. The Nord CE6 changes that approach quite a bit. OnePlus has …

The vivo X300 FE arrives as the successor to the vivo X200 FE, and the idea is familiar at first glance. A compact flagship that tries to balance size with serious hardware. This time, the positioning feels slightly different. The standard vivo X300 is also compact, which puts the FE in a tighter spot. What …
