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 …

The 14-inch laptop is the hardest category to get right. It has to be genuinely compact and light enough to carry everywhere, yet powerful enough to justify its price over a 13-inch budget option. For years, Apple’s MacBook Air owned this space without serious Windows competition. The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro 14-inch (NP940XJG-KG6IN) is the …

Samsung’s Plus model has usually sat in a slightly awkward spot. The Ultra gets most of the attention, the base model gets picked for its size and price, and the Plus ends up in between. This year, it still sits in that same position. The Galaxy S26+ keeps things straightforward. You get a large high-resolution …

Apple has never cared about the budget laptop market, dominated by Chromebooks and Windows laptops. For years, the cheapest MacBook people bought set them back by around ₹80,000 to ₹90,000, depending on the prevalent pricing and offers, unless you decided to get a four or five-year-old machine at ridiculously discounted prices.Then one day, Apple …

I picked up the Galaxy S26, and found its pitch quite convincing. A compact, premium build, powerful phone that features the world’s first 2nm chipset, and a mature camera system backed by Samsung’s increasingly capable AI. While One UI offers a clean and refined user interface, it also takes care of long-term users. On paper, …

The OPPO F-series usually targets buyers who care about design, cameras, battery life, and a polished everyday experience more than benchmark numbers. The OPPO F33 Pro follows that same formula closely. At first glance, it checks a lot of boxes people usually like. It looks premium, is pretty slim, charges quickly, has a bright AMOLED …

The Quick Take: Score: 7.5/10 The Renault Kiger is the car you’d go for if you want something fun and engaging to drive at a budget. Only the turbo petrol, however, is for those who want driving pleasure. The infotainment display feels outdated, but it is still better-equipped than competition despite the slight imperfections in …

For years, Samsung’s earbud strategy felt like a restless search for an identity. We had the “beans” (Buds Live), the “buds” (Buds 2 Pro), and last year’s sudden pivot to the “blade” stems. It often felt like Samsung was more interested in reacting to Apple than defining its own path. I tested the Samsung Galaxy …

Wireless charging has finally matured, and if you use both an iPhone and an Apple Watch, carrying separate chargers starts to feel unnecessary. GM Modular, the same brand behind the TravelEase Pro adapter we reviewed last year, has now launched the G+ iSmart Qi2 2-in-1 Wireless Charger. It is a compact magnetic charger with 15W …

A lot of monitors look great in spec sheets. High refresh rate, USB-C charging, ergonomic stand, speakers, USB hub, slim bezels. The Lenovo L24D-4C is exactly that kind of monitor. It checks many boxes people want in a modern desk setup, especially if you use a laptop and want a cleaner one-cable connection. The catch …

In an increasingly competitive smartphone market obsessed with adding accolades to spec sheets, Samsung is taking a slightly different approach with the Galaxy A37 5G. The handset isn’t trying to win on raw numbers, but on the overall smartphone experience it delivers. The handset competes against models from Xiaomi, OnePlus, Vivo, and Oppo. The smartphone …

For the better part of a decade, PlayStation exclusives have felt less like games and more like cinematic arms races. They arrive with staggering budgets, 80-hour runtimes, and an almost desperate need to be “Prestige.” God of War: Sons of Sparta is a quiet, stubbornly focused rejection of that entire philosophy. It didn’t come to …

The Nord lineup usually plays it safe. Strong performance, smooth software, and a price that undercuts flagships while still delivering a premium experience. The Nord 5 stayed close to that formula, even if it leaned a bit safer in some areas. The OnePlus Nord 6 takes a more aggressive approach. It pushes performance much higher, …

The Quick Take: Score: 9/10 The 2026 Skoda Kodiaq is the thinking person’s luxury SUV. It trades the “look-at-me” ruggedness of the Toyota Fortuner for a cabin that feels like an Audi and a driving experience that’s actually fun. It’s thirsty at the pump, but if you want tech that works and a ride that …

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 …

I was halfway through an important presentation when the Brave Ark Pen just stopped working. It wasn’t a dead battery or a connection error; it simply refused to register on the screen. I had to switch to my finger, fumble through the rest of my slides, and sit there realizing exactly what this device is. …

The Samsung Galaxy A-series has steadily improved year after year, and the new Galaxy A57 5G feels like a step forward in the same direction. It brings a new Exynos chipset, a slimmer and lighter body, and full IP68 dust and water resistance, which helps it hold ground in the mid-range segment.  Starting at ₹56,999 …

The vivo V70 FE changes things a bit for the series. Earlier models used the “e” branding, like the V60e, but this time vivo is calling it FE, which stands for Fashion Edition. That direction is clear the moment you pick up the phone. Design, camera, and battery are the focus here. You get a …
