Apple’s Siri has been the center of criticism for a few years, especially since Google launched its Gemini-powered AI voice assistant and OpenAI’s ChatGPT got an iOS app. Both these assistants used to be smarter, faster, and more useful, while Siri remained the one that you used to set an alarm or a timer.  At …

If I were to summarize the upcoming smartphone launches in India in August 2026, it goes premium at the top and battery-focused at the bottom. Google’s Pixel 11 series is the undisputed headline launch of the month, arriving alongside a wave of confirmed mid-rangers from Poco, Samsung, and OnePlus. So, without any further ado, let’s …

There’s no shortage of accessory and small-appliance brands jostling for shelf space in India right now, so when a new name enters the ring, the first question is always the same: what’s actually different here?  I sat down with Mr Mohit Anand, the founder of WOZOYO, which is a newly launched global brand built on …

The 2026 Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift arrives with the most diverse powertrain lineup the nameplate has ever carried. For the first time, buyers get the choice from four distinct powertrain configurations: a naturally aspirated (NA) petrol with a manual, the same engine paired with a torque converter automatic, a factory-fitted CNG option, and an all-new …

I never disliked foldables, but I always stopped using them. For years, using a Samsung Fold meant putting up with a great mini-tablet inside and a cramped, tall cover screen outside. Every time I tried one as my main phone, typing on that narrow front display pushed me back to a regular phone. The Galaxy …

The RTX 5080 is where gaming and professional laptops stop making compromises and start delivering top-tier graphics performance.

I know it sounds odd to buy an air conditioner in July, when the worst of the summer heat has already passed in most of India. But if you’ve ever tried buying an AC in April when the mercury bar is touching 44°C and every store has a three-week waiting time, and the monsoon is …

Every Prime Day, my phone starts ringing with the same question: which laptop should I buy? I’ve been covering consumer tech for over six years, and I’ll admit the honest answer is always more nuanced than a quick text allows, especially since memory and chip prices have risen exponentially over the last year, pushing laptop …

For years, the illusion of choice has defined a significant chunk of the Android market. OPPO, OnePlus, and Realme might have shared corporate DNA under the BBK Electronics banner, but they operated fiercely independent brands, each boasting unique software and distinct fanbases. But that’s about to end soon. According to a highly reliable and seasoned …

While there might not be as many smartphone launches in July 2026, the ones that are scheduled or expected to arrive aren’t worth ignoring. First, we have two entrants in the Reno 16 series, two premium mid-range devices.

They’re storage standards that determine the type of storage and, along with it, key characteristics like the read/write speed and power efficiency. Most 2026 flagships ship with UFS 4.0 (like the Galaxy S26 Ultra), while some …

Most people in India are familiar with the Cool Mode on their AC, but know little about the others. The Cool Mode works fine in April or May, but then what are the other modes on your AC’s remote for? Most modern air conditioners come with five to eight modes, each designed to optimize the …

After years of speculation, rumors, and frustrating delays, Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will finally open on June 25, 2026, globally, across digital storefronts and select retail outlets.  The announcement came alongside the reveal of the game’s official cover art. It features the protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, set against a Vice City backdrop.  …

The current-generation Hyundai i20 has been one of the country’s most premium hatchbacks for years, all in terms of design, in-cabin feel, and features. However, it has been running on the same platform since 2020. We did get a 2023 facelift to keep things fresh, but nothing substantial.   That, my dear readers, is about to …

At WWDC 2026, Apple spent most of its time explaining the new Siri AI experience and other Apple Intelligence features for the iPhone and Mac, and features for iPadOS 27 and watchOS 27 got relatively less stage time. In the already-limited time, Apple either didn’t speak about a couple of features or included them in …

macOS Golden Gate (or macOS 27) is Apple’s most subtle yet important Mac update in years. Instead of piling on headline-grabbing features to justify the annual upgrade cycle, the company spent this upgrade cycle fixing and polishing everything that was broken, and delivering the AI capabilities it promised around two years ago.  If you own …
