So Citroën is a brand that is not too well known in India. It often gets lost in the crowd of Hyundai’s, Maruti’s, Tata, Mahindras, and the MG’s of the market. Now, Citroën is a good, reliable European French brand that makes some pretty kickass cars that last quite long with their users; however in …

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 …

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 budget 5G smartphone segment in India is more crowded than ever. Brands are competing on everything from charging speed and gaming performance to the software experience.

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 …

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 …

For years, smart glasses have promised a future where technology fades into the background, leaving behind a seamless, always-on experience that can solve your queries, provide context, and keep you connected without constantly reaching for your smartphone. Plenty of companies have tried to make that vision a reality, but few have come as close as …

BMW X5 has been my favourite BMW SUV since as long as I can remember. Not just because it is a cool car, it definitely is. But because every SUV that BMW has ever made, has, in some way or the other, a little bit of the BMW X5 in it. Ever since I could …

realme’s P4R is the newest entrant in the company’s ongoing P4 series, and at ₹18,999, it cuts through the ongoing component-cost squeeze that is pushing prices up across the board. The smartphone bets on solving one core user problem — battery anxiety — and it does excellent at that. Promotional and marketing terms aside, the …

The Suzuki Access 125 has been a popular scooter in India for over a decade now. Suzuki last year electrified the ‘Access’ nameplate with the Suzuki e-Access, which is an electric scooter from the Japanese manufacturer that is powered by a 3kWh battery. The Suzuki e-Access is Suzuki’s attempt to carry the Access’s legacy into …

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.

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 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 …

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 …
