Tesla came to India after a lot of anticipation last year, and despite India not being the “ideal market” for Tesla, the brand has been in the limelight ever since its launch. The Tesla Model Y is the first car that the Elon Musk-led company has launched in India. And while the Tesla Model Y …

The MG ZS EV has been a popular electric SUV since its launch in India. However, the market has seen a surge in competition since its introduction, with established brands offering similar features. Despite this, the MG ZS EV remains a compelling value proposition, particularly with recent GST cuts, making it one of the most …

I’ve been living with the AirPods Pro 3 for over three months now—day in, day out, across commutes, flights, traffic jams, workouts, work calls, and late-night music sessions. And that context matters. I’ve also used the AirPods Pro 2 as my daily earbuds for nearly three years, which means I know exactly what Apple changed, …

So the new Renault Duster has finally been unveiled, marking the comeback of the car that started the C-segment SUV trend in India. The 2026 Renault Duster comes on the back of a lot of hype, with initial rumours of the car dating back more than a year ago. With a grand unveil in Chennai, …

Sandisk positions the Creator USB-C Flash Drive for people who move files between phones, tablets, and laptops every day. The drive focuses on convenience and portability rather than the absolute best speed. I tested the 1TB version with an iPhone 17, a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, and a MacBook Air. I used it mainly to …

The Sandisk Creator SD UHS-II Card expands the Creator Series with a clear focus on photographers and videographers who want decent speeds without paying V90-level prices. I tested the 1TB variant in the Sony a6700 and Canon EOS R6 Mark III over several weeks.My usage included burst photography, oversampled 4K video, and some RAW …

Motorola isn’t trying to win a spec-sheet war with the Signature; it’s trying to win a reaction. In a premium mid-range segment crowded with safe designs, oversized batteries, and predictable compromises, the Signature takes a different route: go thin, go bold, and trust that refinement still matters. This is a phone that wants to be …

The mid-range true wireless earbuds space is deceptively crowded. Many products promise heavy specs, long lists of features, and impressive performance. In real use, however, most fall short in one or two meaningful areas. The realme Buds Air 8 seem quite appealing because they deliver strong active noise cancellation, a well-tuned transparency experience, and practical …

I have been using the OPPO Find X9 Pro for over a month now, and during that time the device has made it very clear that it aims to be more than another incremental upgrade. The Find X9 Pro brings one of the biggest camera hardware jumps OPPO has made in years, combined with a …

The vivo X300 brings one of the most substantial imaging upgrades ever seen on a compact flagship. The main camera and the telephoto sensors are new, and the selfie camera gets a major overhaul, with the software pipeline getting better. In many ways, this is the biggest jump in camera capability from one model to …

I spent two hours in a windowless room with Samsung executives and the most ridiculous phone I’ve ever seen. The Galaxy Z TriFold is exactly what it sounds like: a smartphone that folds twice. It starts as a slightly chunky 6.5-inch phone and unfurls into a massive 10-inch tablet. For years, we’ve seen the phones …

After using the OPPO Reno15 Pro Mini for over two weeks, one thing became clear very quickly. This phone exists because many users are tired of large, heavy smartphones. In a market where screen sizes and weights keep increasing, OPPO has launched a compact 6.3-inch phone that doesn’t compromise to achieve that form factor. I …

The budget smartphone segment doesn’t leave much room for experimentation. Most phones try to stand out by maxing out one or two specs while cutting corners elsewhere, and the Redmi 15C 5G is no different. Instead of chasing flashy features, Redmi has focused on the fundamentals here: a massive battery, a large high-refresh-rate display, and …

Spending over a lakh rupees on a smartphone in 2025 is no longer just about specs. It’s about picking the kind of experience you want to live with for the next few years. The Oppo Find X9 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro define the concept of a “flagship” from very different perspectives. One goes …

For years, Apple’s baseline iPhones have lived in the shadows of their Pro siblings. They’re dependable, polished, but not as exciting as several Android flagships have become over time. However, with the iPhone 17, the dynamic finally shifts. This year’s baseline iPhone features more “Pro” DNA than ever before, including a massive display upgrade (something …

For years, smartphone makers have treated thinness like a luxury flex – impressive to look at, inconvenient to use. Even in 2025, ultra-slim phones from Apple and Samsung proved that shaving millimetres often meant shrinking batteries and inflating prices. The Motorola Edge 70 challenges that logic. At under 6mm thick, it’s one of the slimmest …

OnePlus’ lineup in 2025 quietly presents buyers with a very real dilemma. On paper, the OnePlus 15R and the OnePlus 13s are priced close enough to warrant comparison, yet they serve fundamentally different user segments. While one handset targets users who want to scale and performance of the flagship tier without spending a fortune, the …

While the OnePlus 13R was a safe, well-rounded crowd-pleaser, the OnePlus 15R makes a deliberate, controversial choice: it kills the telephoto lens. In 2025, that is a risky move. OnePlus is betting the house that its new main sensor and “DetailMax” computational photography can fill the gap. After testing it extensively, the answer is complicated. …

The OnePlus R series has always been about balance. Strong performance, good-enough cameras, smooth software, and a price that sits just below the flagship tier. With the OnePlus 13R, OnePlus nailed most of that formula, but it was not without its flaws. The cameras were inconsistent and some hardware choices were already starting to show …

The Indian tablet market has quietly been finding its footing again. After years of silence, tablets are back in focus, especially in that tricky sub-₹30,000 segment. The demand is specific: Students want digital notebooks, professionals want a “laptop-lite” for emails, and the rest of us just want a screen to binge-watch Netflix without killing our …
