LG took a unique approach to foldable smartphones with its LG G8X ThinQ. While Samsung and Huawei were looking at flexible screens that could unfold to turn a smartphone into a tablet, LG simply slapped on a case with a second display to double the screen real estate you get. This had a few advantages, such as cost saving and the lack of a complex mechanism which made the G8X ThinQ a lot less delicate than folding phones. Now, the company has taken this approach yet again with the LG Velvet, also known as the LG Velvet 4G…

Love it or hate it, you can't help but pay attention to what Apple is up to. More often than not, the Cupertino, California-based company will make your jaw drop with its products and prices, and you can't help but wonder what life would be like with the latest iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and AirPods. While not all of Apple's products are equally significant, the M1-powered MacBook and Mac range, and its most recent hardware launch, the AirPods Max, have grabbed a lot of attention.Priced at Rs. 59,900 in India, the Apple…

LG has been an innovative smartphone manufacturer, and we've seen some out-of-the-ordinary smartphones from it recently. The LG G5 was a notable attempt at a modular smartphone, while the more recent LG G8X ThinQ and LG Velvet were foldable dual-screen models. The LG Wing is yet another one that breaks conventions with a futuristic and completely different form factor. The primary display rotates to a horizontal position, revealing a smaller secondary display below it. The LG Wing forms a “T” shape when opened, and that…

Large televisions are getting much more affordable, and specifications are continuously improving at the same time. You can buy a decent 4K HDR television for less than Rs. 30,000 today, and bumping up your budget to around Rs. 1,00,000 will get you an excellent television with performance that might have cost much more just a few years ago. However, while picture quality continues to improve thanks to better panels and HDR standards such as Dolby Vision, an often neglected aspect of the television is sound.The focus on…

Many televisions available today are smart TVs, including plenty of affordable options priced at around Rs. 10,000 or so. However, some of these TVs may be smart only in name, and the actual usage experience is often inadequate, especially when manufacturers use custom firmware that doesn't support many good apps. On the other hand, many users are still using old flat-panel non-smart televisions, and may not be particularly inclined to replace them yet, but do want access to streaming services.If you find yourself in a…

So how does the OnePlus Watch stack up against the competition? Should this be the watch you pick? I will try to answer these questions in this…

The soundbar is a pretty genius product concept, offering many of the benefits of a full-fledged home theatre system while avoiding the complications of installing a multi-speaker setup. However, soundbars can be rather expensive, often costing as much or even more than the televisions people want to use them with. Budget soundbars do exist, but options such as the Mi Soundbar are perhaps too basic, and may not offer a significant improvement in sound over your TV's built in speakers.There's a significant gap here, with…
