POCO’s M-series has always been about doing the basics well and skipping the fluff, and the M8 Power leans into that harder than any recent phone in this price bracket. At ₹21,999 onward, it’s going up against a crowded field: realme, OnePlus, vivo, and iQOO all have something to say at this price, but POCO’s …

BYD cars have been one of the most tech-heavy EVs in recent times in our market. The BYD Sealion 7 is one of those cars which has gained a lot of attention, mainly for the kind of tech that the premium electric SUV offers. The highlight? A 15.6-inch infotainment display which also rotates to change …

For the past few years, Samsung’s Fold lineup has been predictable. Every generation brought a thinner design, a slightly better camera, a newer Snapdragon chip, and a few software improvements. Meanwhile, competitors like OPPO and Honor were experimenting with larger batteries, shallower creases, faster charging, and way better cameras. This year feels… a little different. …

The Infinix Smart 20 4G is the company’s latest budget smartphone in India. At first glance, it doesn’t look like a phone that costs under ₹15,000. The flat frame, large camera module, and overall styling borrow heavily from Apple’s recent iPhones, giving the device a much more premium appearance than its price suggests. However, attractive …

Every year I test the new Galaxy Z Fold and wonder if this is the one that finally makes foldables with a wider, more usable cover screen. With the Fold 8, Samsung switched things up. They reserved the old tall, narrow shape for the Z Fold8 Ultra (review) and went for a shorter, wider design, …

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 …

Most chargers leave you guessing. You plug in your phone, see a light, and just hope it’s charging right. The GM G+ Display Pulse 100W TFT Adapter changes that. It puts a TFT screen on the front and shows you, in real time, how much power each device pulls. This single feature changes how you …

Power cuts in Indian homes are not dramatic events. They are just quiet, reliable inconveniences. The lights go, the fans slow down, and the last thing you hear before the silence is the click of the router dying. Then comes the waiting: the blinking lights, the slow modem restart, the moment your laptop decides to …

Motorola has built its budget playbook around one idea for years now: give people a battery that lasts forever, wrap it in a design that doesn’t look cheap, and keep the software reasonably straightforward. The G77 Power is the latest phone to follow that script, headlined by a large 7,000 mAh battery, a 6.72-inch 120Hz …

Motorola’s Edge series has steadily moved further into the premium smartphone segment, focusing on flagship hardware while keeping prices below the ultra-premium category. The new Moto Edge 70 Max continues that strategy with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a massive 7,100 mAh silicon-carbon battery, a 144Hz Quad HD+ LTPO AMOLED display, and Qi2.2 magnetic …

iQOO’s Z-series has always focused on getting the basics right: a large battery, fast charging, and a smooth everyday experience without pushing prices too high. The new iQOO Z11 Lite follows the same formula, arriving as the successor to last year’s Z10 Lite with a bigger battery, faster charging, Android 16 out of the box, …

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip8 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8 (read hands-on review) and the new Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra (read hands-on review) at its July Galaxy Unpacked event in London. In a launch dominated by the redesigned Fold8 line, the Flip8 plays a familiar role: it’s the smaller, cheaper, more pocketable foldable in …

Samsung just pulled off something it hasn’t done in seven years of Galaxy foldables: it launched a book-style phone that doesn’t look like a book-style phone anymore. At Unpacked in London, the company introduced three new foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra (read hands-on review), the Galaxy Z Flip8, and the all-new Galaxy Z Fold8, …

Samsung has spent the last several Unpacked July events chasing one goal with its book-style foldable: make it feel less like a foldable and more like a regular flagship you happen to fold in half. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 (review) got the Korean giant quite closer to this target, shedding both weight and bulk …

Smart TV buyers have always faced a tough choice: settle for cheap, washed-out LEDs or splurge on premium OLEDs with stunning contrast. Mini LED technology was supposed to fix this. Hundreds of tiny LED backlights grouped into local dimming zones, allowing a television to turn off portions of its backlight in dark areas of the …

Over my ten years covering the consumer tech space, I’ve watched wearables evolve from clunky wrist-bound pedometers to sleek, invisible health monitors. The smart ring market, in particular, has been dominated by premium players like Oura, Ultrahuman, and recently, Samsung. But a new challenger has emerged from India: Gabit. The Indian start-up has taken a …

I didn’t expect to be writing about a stand mixer market that’s growing this fast. India’s stand mixer segment is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 6.81% between FY2026 and FY2033, from roughly $104 million to nearly $176 million, and the broader small kitchen appliances category is headed toward $20.10 billion by …

Having spent weeks with the Dreame L40 Ultra AE earlier this year, I went into the L50s Pro Ultra with a fairly specific question: is ₹20,000 more genuinely worth it, or is this just a spec-sheet upgrade dressed up as a flagship? Dreame’s pitch is compelling on paper, nearly 60% more suction, mop washing hot …

The Redmi Turbo series debuts in India with the Turbo 5, and Xiaomi isn’t subtle about what it’s going for. With a subtle yet confident design, a sharp AMOLED screen, a capable chipset, and a bigger-than-usual battery, Redmi is going after the value-seeking customers with a budget of around ₹40,000 in the Indian market, which, …

Every Nothing phone since the original Phone 1 has sold itself on one idea: you could see inside it. The screws, the coils, the internals dressed up as design that transparent back was the whole pitch, the thing that made a Nothing phone recognizable from across a room. The Phone (4b) is the first device …
