At around ₹4,000, you usually expect some sort of compromise. Maybe the ANC is just decent, maybe the controls are basic, or the app experience ends up being annoying. The OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro don’t really play by those rules. They bring in a bunch of features that you normally see in higher-priced earbuds, …

The sub-₹20,000 smartphone segment in India has evolved so fast that even a smartphone from the first half of 2025 feels like it’s years old. Today, we have a new smartphone that shares the title of the biggest-battery phone under ₹20,000 with another phone (from a sibling brand). I’m talking about the vivo T5x 5G, …

For a long time, I viewed folding phones as an expensive, fragile gimmick. But after spending several months with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, I have to admit I was wrong, its the first Fold that truly feels mature. It is thinner, lighter, faster, and more practical than previous generations. The wider cover display …

It’s that time of the year again. Google’s latest mid-ranger is here — the Pixel 10a — and it comes with all the Gemini pomp and show you’d expect (leaving some exceptions). The only problem? It looks suspiciously similar to the Pixel 9a we tested last year: same chip, same cameras, and same battery. So, …

I have a clear image of exactly who should buy the Wobble 65-inch K-Series 4K TV. It is the household that has been watching a 40-inch LED for the last half-decade and finally wants a massive, cinematic upgrade for the IPL season and daily family viewing without spending a fortune. At a street price of …

The Redmi Note series has changed quite a bit over the years. What started as a straightforward value lineup now sits much closer to the upper mid-range segment, both in pricing and expectations. The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ is a good example of that shift. This phone comes with a large 6.83-inch AMOLED display, a …

The iQOO Z11x is among the most feature-packed mid-rangers available under ₹20,000 in the market. It features a large 120Hz screen, an octa-core chipset that can comfortably handle 60 fps BGMI gaming, a high-resolution primary camera, and a massive battery that can turn things around for people who charge their phones twice a day. It’s …

The POCO X8 Pro Max is the most powerful device in POCO’s new X8 lineup, and it immediately feels like the company is shifting the role of the X series in India. Traditionally, POCO’s F series handled the performance-focused high-end segment while the X series sat slightly below it. With the X8 Pro Max, that …

When Nothing first hit the scene, it survived entirely on its transparent backs and flashing Glyph lights. It was the quirky alternative to a sea of boring glass slabs. But being the quirky alternative only gets you so far. With the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, priced at Rs. 39,999, the company is finally trying to …

At ₹47.70 lakh, the 2 Series Gran Coupe is the most accessible entry point into BMW ownership in India. But spending nearly ₹50 lakh on a car is hardly a budget decision, which begs the question: are you getting a genuine BMW experience, or just paying for the badge on the hood? The car community …

The Edge 60 Fusion was a very popular phone for Motorola. It balanced design, durability, battery life, and a decent software experience at a competitive price. It also had a few weaknesses. Gaming performance was not great, the curved display design was slightly exaggerated, and the cameras did not fully live up to their potential. …

The Infinix Note Edge places a strong emphasis on design. At first glance, the phone looks far more premium than its price suggests, largely because of the quad-curved display which gives it a flagship-like appearance. However, design is only one part of the story. After spending some time with the device, several other aspects of …

I’ll be honest, when vivo announced the X200T, my first reaction was a shrug. A ‘T’ variant of a phone that already existed, showing up in the shadow of the brand-new X300? It sounded like a parts-bin phone, something to fill a shelf gap. I was fully prepared to write it off. One month later, …

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra is no longer trying to be the most overpowered piece of physical hardware in your pocket. It wants to be the smartest. For years, the “Ultra” moniker meant you were buying the absolute bleeding edge of camera sensors, battery tech, and luxury materials. This year, Samsung is flipping the script. At …

The Casio G-Shock 2100 series, affectionately dubbed the “CasiOak” by the enthusiast community, has undergone a fascinating evolution since its debut in 2019. Having spent the last five years deeply immersed in the Japanese watch market, I have watched this specific silhouette transform from a humble resin-clad underdog into a global phenomenon. The series started …

Everyone wants a 65-inch 4K Mini LED TV with a 144Hz refresh rate, rumbling audio, and snappy software. Nobody wants to empty their savings account to get it. If you are also hunting for the best 65-inch gaming TV in India without emptying your savings account, the Haier M92 is trying to be your ultimate …

The Xiaomi Pad 8 arrives at a time when electronics are getting more expensive. RAM prices are rising, chipsets are becoming costlier, and many new phones and tablets are slowly pushing their prices upward. In that situation, the Pad 8 stands out because it still manages to deliver strong hardware without pushing the price too …

I’ve been using the Motorola G86 Power for a few days now, and it’s a phone that comes with a tempting spec sheet for its ₹17,999 price. A huge battery, a sharp high-refresh-rate display, durability ratings that you usually don’t see in this segment, and all of it sounds impressive on paper. But once you …

Nothing has always been good at making people pay attention. The transparent back, the LED lighting system, the Carl Pei launch theatrics, this is a company that understands how to create hype. But hype and a good smartphone are not the same thing. Every year, the same question we ask: Does the hardware actually live …

The 5,000 – 7,000mAh battery has been the industry standard for so long that phone makers stopped treating it as a limitation and started treating it as a finish line. realme didn’t get that memo. The Narzo Power 5G walks in with a 10,001mAh Titan Battery — nearly double what most phones ship with in …
