Despite their convenience, TWS earphones may not be ideal for those who engage in sporting activities as they do not always provide a secure fit. Yamaha is solving this problem with its premium TW-ES5A earbuds. Marketed as sports-focused earphones, these buds promise to provide a secure and comfortable fit, allowing you to focus on your activity without worrying about the earbuds coming loose. In this...
Apple and Samsung are old hands, Xiaomi and Realme are strong in the affordable segment, brands like Motorola and Nokia are relatively new, while OPPO is among the most recent entrants. I am talking about the tablet segment, a category that keeps on surprising. It has seen significant growth in the last 2-3 years, but I am not sure that more growth can be expected in the very near future. Regardless,...
Burning Shores, the latest expansion for Horizon Forbidden West available for PS5, continues the theme of lush environments, though this time in Los Angeles. While we saw some broad conclusions to Horizon Forbidden West's story, it left on a note where we knew there were more stories to be told. While the story of Burning Shores explores the iconic Hollywood Sign, a theme park, and other notable...
Redmi Fire TV was recently announced as an affordable smart TV running Amazon's FireOS interface. In the last five years, ever since Xiaomi entered the Indian smart TV space, the company has been rolling out a host of value-for-money products. I was quite impressed with the Redmi Smart TV X 43 (Review) launch in 2021 for under Rs 25,000. However, the Redmi Fire TV is an even more budget-friendly option...
Xiaomi has made an impressive contribution in providing high quality Smart TVs to a wide audience in India. Through its own and Redmi brands, the company has introduced several television models that feature capable hardware at reasonable prices, effectively setting up a competitive smart TV market. The latest TV to join the club is the Xiaomi Smart TV X Pro series. It is part of Xiaomi's mid-premium X...
iQOO isn't one of those brands to launch a lot of phones in a year, but the ones it does come up with are usually pretty impressive. The iQOO Z7 5G is the third phone from the brand to launch in India this year, after the iQOO 11 5G (Review) and the iQOO Neo 7 5G (Review). Both of them get praise from us for their great performance, 120W fast charging, and capable cameras. iQOO Z7 5G is the newest phone...
Realme Narzo N55 is the first smartphone in the company's newly-established Narzo N-series lineup. The device is a budget offering that doesn't deviate much from the previously launched Realme C55 (Review). Realme Narzo N55 comes with 90Hz refresh rate FHD+ display, MediaTek chipset, camera setup, battery capacity, fast charging technology and software similar to C-series smartphones. This begs the...
Dead Island 2 was first teased at E3 2014 (you read that right!) and believe it or not, I was in college at the time. When I first saw the trailer of the game, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the game which really looked ahead of its time in terms of graphics. However, as luck would have it, the journey for this game was never going to be easy. While the game was initially scheduled to launch in...
Samsung made a remarkable comeback in the laptop segment in the country only last year, a category that has seen its fair share of ups and downs in the recent past. As it is known to do in other areas, the brand showcased its prowess in the laptop space as well, as was evident from the lineup introduced in India early last year. The latest Book3 series not only brings the expected hardware bump, but also...
The Samsung Galaxy S23+ isn't much different from the standard Galaxy S23 it was released with. We covered the latter in great detail in this full review and conclude that this is a supremely capable compact handset. Of course, the S23+ can't be classified as a compact phone and costs a lot more than the S23. However, with basically the exact same specs, it's likely that my opinion of the device is...
