We began this year with an avalanche of affordable Galaxy M-series and A-series smartphones from Samsung as part of the company's strategy to fight Xiaomi, Realme, and others on their terms. Samsung addressed pretty much every strategic price point between Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 20,000 in a very short span of time, sometimes with multiple options thanks to the sheer number of models and variants that were launched. It's been a while now since that rush of launches, and Samsung's competitors have all refreshed their slates, so…

OnePlus usually releases a fresh model when there's a new flagship-class Qualcomm Snapdragon chip to be used, or when it senses a big market shift in terms of design or features. This philosophy has helped the company stay ahead of the curve, even at the cost of annoying its fans who might have spent quite a lot of money only to find their brand new devices outdated in less than six months. In this case, it has been just over four months since the launch of the OnePlus 7, but we already have the OnePlus 7T hitting the…

Football is real-time strategy, à la Age of Empires. Hear us out. You pass the ball around to look for space and open up the defence. That creates room for your teammates to make runs, who might then be free to receive the ball themselves or may act as a diversion for others in a better position. If it all goes according to plan, you might take a shot and score. For those wearing the opposite colours, the reverse applies. They are constantly looking to plug gaps in defence and tracking various targets. And if it all goes…

Samsung launched the Galaxy M series at the beginning of this year to strengthen its position against Chinese competition. The sub-Rs. 20,000 segment was dominated by multiple models from the likes of Xiaomi and Honor, many of which offered better value for money than the devices that Samsung was selling at the time. As a result, the Galaxy M series was launched with a strong focus on the online market.The Samsung Galaxy M30 (Review) was one of the most high-profile models in this series when it launched at around the Rs…

While last year was all about smartphones for Realme, 2019 has also seen the Chinese company expand its presence into the accessories space.

Not very long after the launch of the Realme Buds 2, the company has now introduced the Realme Buds Wireless, its first pair of wireless earphones.Priced at Rs. 1,799, the Realme Buds Wireless continue to take the fight…

Motorola is aiming to grab a slice of the action in the budget segment with its new Moto E6s smartphone. This is pretty much the same phone as the Moto E6 Plus, which we recently saw at the IFA trade show in Berlin. The company has launched it in India under a slightly different name, at a pretty attractive price of Rs. 7,999. For that amount, you get 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a fingerprint sensor, which not many manufacturers offer. It also has some throwback features such as a removable battery, which we don't…

There is no doubt that the Redmi series from Xiaomi is very popular in India. This series catered only to the low end of the market when it was introduced, but has now expanded wide enough to encompass high-end devices at aggressive prices. While it now includes phones like the Redmi K20 Pro (Review), it still caters to budget-conscious buyers as well.Dubbed the “smart desh ka smartphone” the Redmi 7A (Review) had a lot of expectations to shoulder when it was launched three months ago at its rather low Rs. 5,999 price…

If you've been following OnePlus' product cycle over the past few years, then it should have been obvious that 'T' versions of the 7 series were inevitable, although they have arrived sooner than expected. The OnePlus 7 (Review), positioned well below the superior 7 Pro, has already been refreshed. The new OnePlus 7T (Review) has borrowed many features from the OnePlus 7 Pro (Review), and its design, cameras, and display have all been improved, making it nearly as good as its more premium sibling.So now, with the launch…
