Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) Review: The ultimate portable gaming laptop

The Zephyrus G14 (2025) packs monster gaming power in a slim chassis, nailing the balance of speed, style, and portability. Just don’t expect miracles from the battery.

<h3><strong>The Zephyrus G14 (2025) packs monster gaming power in a slim chassis, nailing the balance of speed, style, and portability. Just don&rsquo;t expect miracles from the battery.</strong></h3>

<p>My biggest problem with most gaming laptops is that they just don&rsquo;t work as actual laptops. If you want raw power, you usually have to put up with a chunky, heavy brick that&rsquo;s a pain to carry around. Asus&rsquo;s Zephyrus series, though, is where things get interesting.</p>
<p>The 2025 Zephyrus G14 nails the sweet spot. Sure, the one I tested costs a wild ₹2,79,990, but you&rsquo;re getting some of the best hardware you can buy, in a compact package.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It comes with AMD&rsquo;s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070Ti GPU, which means it absolutely crushes games and anything else you throw at it.</p>
<p>But honestly, what really stood out to me, though, wasn&rsquo;t just the specs. After two weeks of use, it&rsquo;s the entire Zephyrus G14 experience&mdash;the design, portability, and everyday versatility&mdash;that completely won me over.</p>
<h2><strong>Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) Review: Design</strong></h2>
<p>Most gaming laptops I&rsquo;ve used that can pull off the kind of performance numbers you get from the Zephyrus G14 usually feel like they&rsquo;re designed for gym rats, not gamers. They&rsquo;re heavy, thick, and honestly just a pain to carry around. But with the new Zephyrus G14, Asus has actually made things a lot easier on the shoulders.</p>
<p>Now, let&rsquo;s not pretend this is some ultra-slim, featherweight laptop. The G14 tips the scale at about 1.57 kilos and measures 1.59 centimetres thick.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Still, for the amount of high-end hardware packed inside, this thing&rsquo;s basically doing a &ldquo;size zero&rdquo; cosplay. If you&rsquo;re someone who needs serious power on the go, this machine fits the bill perfectly. Despite being a bit bulky, it feels incredibly well-built and tough enough to handle regular thrashings of the Delhi Metro/</p>
<p>Aesthetically, Asus sticks to its signature Zephyrus style, complete with a slick aluminium chassis.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s that unmistakable Slash Lighting across the lid set inside a a shiny stainless steel strip that just screams &ldquo;premium.&rdquo; And if you&rsquo;re into RGB, you&rsquo;ll be happy with the keyboard lighting, which lets you customise the vibe to match your setup.</p>
<p>Port selection is pretty solid for a laptop this size. You get two full-sized USB-A ports, a full-sized HDMI 2.1, two USB-C ports (one USB 3.2 and the other USB 4, both supporting DisplayPort and Power Delivery), a 3.5mm combo audio jack, and Asus&rsquo;s proprietary charging port.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The only real letdown is the microSD card reader instead of a full-sized SD slot, which feels like a missed opportunity given the G14&rsquo;s appeal for gamers and content creators. The good news is that it does support fast UHS-II speeds.</p>
<p>I also appreciate how Asus has laid out the ports. The right side gets a USB-A, a USB-C, and the card reader, while everything else sits on the left. Plugging the G14 into a full desktop battlestation with a keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc, is a breeze without needing any extra dock.</p>
<p>For wireless connectivity, you get the latest WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, so no complaints there.</p>
<p>If there&rsquo;s one thing that bugs me about the design, it&rsquo;s that the bottom panel is completely screwed shut. Unlike the tool-less access we&rsquo;ve seen in some Intel-based Zephyrus and Strix models, you can&rsquo;t just pop it open to upgrade stuff. Fingers crossed, Asus brings tool-less access to AMD-powered models soon.</p>
<h2><strong>Asus ROG&nbsp;Zephyrus G14 (2025) Review: Display</strong></h2>
<p>The Zephyrus G14&rsquo;s display is honestly one of its biggest flexes. You get a 14-inch ROG Nebula OLED panel with a crisp 3K (2880x1800) resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio, running at a smooth 120Hz.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s G-SYNC certified too, so gaming and content both look super clean, and that VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 plus Dolby Vision support, just makes it perfect for binge-watching your favourite shows and movies.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Movies like Oppenheimer and Top Gun: Maverick looked absolutely unreal on this screen.</p>
<p>Now, while 120Hz might sound modest compared to those wild 144Hz+ panels, it&rsquo;s more than enough for most people&mdash;and the 0.2ms response time keeps everything feeling insanely snappy.</p>
<p>Unless you&rsquo;re an e-sports pro, you won&rsquo;t feel like you&rsquo;re missing out. The only minor &ldquo;wish&rdquo; here is for a slightly higher refresh rate, but honestly, it&rsquo;s not a dealbreaker.</p>
<p>Brightness is solid, peaking at 500 nits. I didn&rsquo;t have any issues using it outdoors, though the glossy finish can reflect a bit too much.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Colour-wise, the display covers 100% of the DCI-P3 range, so it&rsquo;s perfect for creators who need accurate colours for photo or video editing.</p>
<p>The G14 also includes a MUX Switch and NVIDIA&rsquo;s Advanced Optimus, which automatically toggles between the Nvidia GPU and onboard AMD graphics to save battery when you don&rsquo;t need full power.</p>
<h2><strong>Asus ROG&nbsp;Zephyrus G14 (2025) Review: Performance</strong></h2>
<p>Alright, let&rsquo;s dive into the main event: performance.</p>
<p>The Zephyrus G14 is loaded with some of the best laptop hardware you can get right now. At its core is the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, which is basically a powerhouse.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This chip comes with its NPU rated at 50 TOPS, so it handles all those basic AI features, like Windows Copilot stuff, without breaking a sweat or eating up battery life.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the really demanding stuff, like gaming or hardcore AI tools, there&rsquo;s the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070Ti under the hood, with 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM. With a generous 120W TGP, this GPU is allowed to actually perform at its best, not just limp along like in some thinner laptops.</p>
<p>The unit I tested came stacked: 32GB of LPDDR5X-8000 RAM, which was soldered on, so no upgrades, and a single 2TB M.2 SSD in the only storage slot.&nbsp;</p>
<p>That means you&rsquo;re locked in for RAM and storage.</p>
<p>So, what&rsquo;s it like to actually use?&nbsp;</p>
<p>Honestly, this thing just flies. In every benchmark I threw at it, the G14 scored impressively high, especially for such a slim and portable laptop. Here are some of the scores that I got across benchmarks:</p>
<p><br><strong>Cinebench 23</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Single: 1997</li>
<li>Multi: 22217</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Cinebench 2024&nbsp;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Single: 110</li>
<li>Multi: 1162</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>PugetBench For Creators</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Photoshop: 7956</li>
<li>Premiere Pro: 10531</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3D Mark</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Time Spy: 13890</li>
<li>Steel Nomad: 3501</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>PCMark 10: 8158</strong></p>
<p>Sure, you might find a few chunkier gaming machines out there with slightly better numbers, but they usually cost a lot more and double as free weights for your backpack.</p>
<p>Gaming is where the G14 truly shows off.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I tested out Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth: Wukong, both at 3K (2880x1800) resolution, maxed out settings, ray tracing on and off, DLSS enabled, and disabled; you name it, the G14 handled it with zero fuss.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Frame rates stayed smooth and stable, and visuals looked jaw-dropping on that OLED screen.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether you&rsquo;re a casual gamer or going all-in on the latest AAA release, this laptop is up for the challenge.</p>
<h3><br>Cyberpunk 2077:</h3>
<ul>
<li>RTX Off, DLSS Frame Gen Off: 51.29 fps</li>
<li>RTX On, DLSS Frame Gen On (4X): 112.14 fps</li>
<li>RTX Off, DLSS Frame Gen On (4X):163.86 fps</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Black Myth Wukong:</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>RTX Off, DLSS Frame Gen Off: 34 fps</li>
<li>RTX On, DLSS Frame Gen On (4X): 94 fps</li>
<li>RTX Off, DLSS Frame Gen On (4X): 141fps</li>
</ul>
<p>And again, all of these numbers were at 3K, with details at Ultra for Cyberpunk, and Cinematic for Wukong.</p>
<p>What surprised me most was the thermal performance. Thanks to Asus&rsquo; Tri-Fan cooling system and liquid metal tech, the G14 kept its cool through marathon gaming sessions. The top edge warmed up, but the WASD area and palm rest stayed perfectly comfortable.</p>
<p>In short, the Zephyrus G14 doesn&rsquo;t just meet performance expectations for its size: it blows right past them.</p>
<h2><strong>Asus ROG&nbsp;Zephyrus G14 (2025) Review: Keyboard and Trackpad</strong></h2>
<p>The RGB backlit keyboard on the Zephyrus G14 is honestly a treat. Asus has bumped up the keycap size by 12% over last year, and you get a satisfying 1.7mm of travel with every press. As a result, typing on this laptop is pure joy. It is fast, comfy, and super responsive.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sure, it&rsquo;s not a mechanical keyboard (which would have been epic at this price), but I&rsquo;m not complaining. It&rsquo;s hands down one of the nicest keyboards I&rsquo;ve used on a laptop.</p>
<p>The trackpad is the cherry on top. It&rsquo;s large, buttery smooth, and handles gestures and palm rejection like a pro. Given that most people will use a mouse while gaming or any other critical usage and will not need very precise controls in regular usage, it is surprising that Asus didn&rsquo;t cut any corners here.</p>
<h2><strong>Asus ROG&nbsp;Zephyrus G14 (2025) Review: Webcam &amp; Speakers</strong></h2>
<p>Audio on the Zephyrus G14 is seriously impressive for a laptop. You get a punchy 4-speaker setup with Smart Amp tech and Dolby Atmos, making everything from movies to games sound crisp and immersive. There&rsquo;s also AI noise cancelling for clear voice chats while gaming, and if you&rsquo;re plugging in high-end headphones, you get Hi-Res audio support too.</p>
<p>The webcam, though, is pretty average, like most Windows laptops. It&rsquo;s fine if you&rsquo;ve got good lighting, with decent colours and detail, but it really struggles in low light. Asus does include some AI tricks to help, but honestly, you&rsquo;re better off using your phone&rsquo;s selfie cam if you care about video quality. But hey, at least you get IR for Windows Hello with the Zephyrus G14.</p>
<h2><strong>Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) Review: Battery Life</strong></h2>
<p>Battery life on the Zephyrus G14 is handled by a 73WHrs cell, which can be juiced up using either the 200W Asus Slim Power adapter or a 100W USB-C charger.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Like most gaming laptops, battery life isn&rsquo;t its strongest suit. You really shouldn&rsquo;t plan to game on battery power. &nbsp;In my regular use (browsing, streaming, and writing at 50% brightness), I managed about five hours of screen time before needing a charge.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s a bit surprising, especially since the G14 comes with a MUX Switch that should help the laptop switch between the AMD integrated GPU and the power-hungry Nvidia 5070Ti.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But, if you do run out of juice, the included 200W charger gets you back up and running in under an hour, which is super convenient when you&rsquo;re in a hurry.</p>
<h2><strong>Asus ROG&nbsp;Zephyrus G14 (2025) Review: Verdict</strong></h2>
<p>Let&rsquo;s be real, ₹2,79,990 is a serious sum of money, and that&rsquo;s something you really have to think about before pulling the trigger. Obviously, the G14 isn&rsquo;t meant for everyone.</p>
<p>But if you want a gaming laptop that packs real muscle without the bulk, the Zephyrus G14 honestly delivers on almost every front. The combo of top-tier specs, a gorgeous display, and a sleek, travel-friendly design is pretty hard to beat. What truly sets the G14 apart is just how much power and polish Asus managed to squeeze into a 14-inch chassis.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Still, it&rsquo;s not perfect. The battery life is just okay, the webcam is average at best, and there&rsquo;s no way to upgrade RAM or storage later.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for alternatives in this price range, you might also want to check out the MSI Vector 16 series, or the Strix Scar series from Asus. However, due to its sheer portability, the G14 is tough to top.</p>

Inside the OPPO K13 Turbo series: Built for India’s gaming generation

<h2><strong>Oppo has launched the K13 Turbo Series 5G in India, featuring the K13 Turbo Pro and K13 Turbo. In an exclusive chat, Savio D&rsquo;Souza, Head of Product Communications, shares insights on the design, cooling tech, AI features, and Gen Z focus.</strong></h2>

<p>OPPO&rsquo;s latest K13 Turbo Series 5G&mdash;featuring the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro&mdash;has landed in India with a record-setting claim: they&rsquo;re the country&rsquo;s first smartphones to pack a built-in cooling fan.</p>
<p>This bold step in mobile thermal management is aimed squarely at users who push their devices to the limit.</p>
<p>From competitive gamers and heavy multitaskers to those who spend long hours outdoors, the K13 Turbo Series is built for sustained performance.</p>
<p>Both models combine active and passive cooling systems, a massive 7,000mAh batteries and a 120Hz eye-friendly flat display to keep performance steady during even the most intense sessions.</p>
<p>This launch taps into a huge and growing market: 74% of Gen Z users in India spend at least six hours a week <a title="Realme P4 Pro first look: Gunning for the midrange throne" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/realme-p4-pro-first-look-gunning-for-the-midrange-throne-1754904330018">gaming</a> on their phones, and by 2025, the country will host more than 600 million gamers, most of them under 35.</p>
<p>With faster internet, affordable flagship-level hardware, and a hunger for immersive entertainment, India&rsquo;s mobile gaming scene is only getting hotter&mdash;and OPPO clearly wants a front-row seat.</p>
<p>To understand the vision behind the K13 Turbo and how <a title="Oppo Pad SE Review: Best Budget Tablet 2025?" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/oppo-pad-se-review-best-budget-tablet-2025-1754038314393">OPPO </a>is tailoring its K Series for India&rsquo;s young, multitasking generation, we spoke to Savio D&rsquo;Souza, Head of Product Communications, OPPO India.</p>
<p>Here are excerpts from the conversation:</p>
<h3>Q: This is the first time we&rsquo;re seeing a built-in cooling fan in a smartphone. What sparked the idea to put one inside the Turbo series?</h3>
<p><strong>Savio D&rsquo;Souza:</strong> Whenever OPPO works on a new technology, it&rsquo;s always about solving a problem. High-end processors and GPUs tend to throttle when they heat up, and that can slow things down.</p>
<p>With passive cooling&mdash;like vapor chambers&mdash;you can handle normal productivity tasks just fine. But when the GPU kicks in during intense gaming, you need an extra boost.</p>
<p>That&rsquo;s where the fan comes in. Think of it like a kitchen exhaust: it pushes hot air out and pulls cooler air in. We&rsquo;ve built a system that combines active and passive cooling to keep performance consistent even under heavy load.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: So, you&rsquo;re essentially tapping into what Gen Z gamers have been asking for&mdash;solving the heating issue they often face during intense sessions, right?</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Savio D&rsquo;Souza:</strong> Exactly. You listen to your audience, understand the problems they face, and then figure out the best way to fix them. Passive cooling works, but adding active cooling gives that extra edge for those who need it.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: I&rsquo;m guessing putting a fan inside a slim smartphone wasn&rsquo;t exactly straightforward. What kind of challenges did the team run into while making this happen?</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Savio D&rsquo;Souza:</strong> That&rsquo;s what engineers live for&mdash;challenges. If there&rsquo;s a river in your way, you build a bridge.</p>
<p>The first challenge was size: we wanted a fan but didn&rsquo;t want to make the phone bulky or cut down on battery capacity. And gaming needs power, so the 7000 mAh battery had to stay.</p>
<p>Then there&rsquo;s the vibration factor&mdash;you want the haptic feedback to feel crisp, not be overpowered by the fan. Balancing all that while keeping the phone slim and performance-ready was a big engineering puzzle.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: Gaming is clearly a big focus here&mdash;but beyond gaming, what other Gen Z pain points is OPPO looking to address in the near future?</strong></h3>
<p>Savio D&rsquo;Souza: Gaming is the best way to showcase a performance device&mdash;just like Formula 1 is the pinnacle of car engineering. But that doesn&rsquo;t mean this is just a gaming phone.</p>
<p>The Turbo series also comes loaded with AI productivity tools, fast charging, and a display that&rsquo;s just as good for watching videos or working outdoors as it is for gaming.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s built for anyone who wants a high-performance daily driver, whether that&rsquo;s for work, entertainment, or content creation.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: You mentioned AI earlier&mdash;what are some of the standout AI features in the Turbo series that users can actually experience day-to-day?</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Savio D&rsquo;Souza:</strong> OPPO India&rsquo;s goal over the last two years has been to democratize AI&mdash;because for many in India, the smartphone is their only computing device.</p>
<p>In the Turbo series, AI works both in the background and up front. For example: AI LinkBoost keeps your network stable while gaming.</p>
<p>AI frame rate management maintains performance during heavy loads and AI productivity tools that offer instant summaries, writing assistance, and note generation help students and professionals.</p>
<p>Our approach to <a title="Samsung&rsquo;s new AI appliances are here, and they&rsquo;re smarter than ever" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/mobiles/samsung-s-new-ai-appliances-are-here-and-they-re-smarter-than-ever-1751107210383">AI</a> isn&rsquo;t about replacing humans&mdash;it&rsquo;s about freeing you up to focus on things only you can do, like adding creativity and personal touch to your work.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: Speaking of performance&mdash;you&rsquo;ve packed in the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, which is considered a flagship-level chip. How did you manage to bring that into this price segment?</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Savio D&rsquo;Souza:</strong> Pricing any product is a mix of many factors&mdash;hardware costs, local tariffs, currency fluctuations. The goal for us is always the same: give Indian consumers maximum value.</p>
<p>Indian buyers are smart, they know what&rsquo;s worth their money. Our team in OPPO India is made up of Indians who understand that mindset.</p>
<p>We worked hard to make sure the <a title="Vivo T4 Ultra Review (feat iQOO Neo 10)" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/mobiles/vivo-t4-ultra-review-feat-iqoo-neo-10-1749637641292">Snapdragon 8s Gen 4</a> could be part of this package without pushing the price out of reach. So my advice is&mdash;enjoy it. That&rsquo;s exactly why we built it this way.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 Turbo &amp; K13 Turbo Pricing and Availability&nbsp;</strong></h3>
<p>The OPPO K13 Turbo price in India starts at ₹27,999 for the base 8GB + 128GB variant, while the 8GB + 256GB model is priced at ₹29,999.</p>
<p>The OPPO K13 Turbo Pro is priced at ₹37,999 for the 8GB + 256GB option and ₹39,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant.</p>
<p>Both devices are available for purchase via Flipkart, OPPO&rsquo;s official website, and select retail stores across the country.</p>

Our Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 ASMR unboxing reveals a slimmer design, upgraded health tracking, Gemini AI, and refined comfort for all-day wear.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 ASMR Unboxing & Hands-On

<p>Samsung's new Galaxy Watch 8 now comes with a slimmer build, advanced health tracking, and AI features designed for comfort and everyday use.</p>

<p>The Galaxy Watch 8 doesn&rsquo;t try to grab your attention with flashy gimmicks or radical design changes. Instead, it refines what has been doing so far, and takes it to a whole new level &mdash; making the watch slimmer, adding smarter health tools, and introducing AI in a way that feels genuinely useful.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s a quieter kind of upgrade, the sort you notice more the longer you wear it.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: Inside the box</strong></h2>
<p>Samsung keeps its packaging minimal, with the Watch 8 arriving in a slim white box. Inside, the watch head is presented up front &mdash; our unit came in Graphite &mdash; with the sensors neatly arranged on the back.</p>
<p>A small accessory box holds the paperwork, a USB-C cable, and Samsung&rsquo;s magnetic charging puck. The straps are placed separately and snap into the watch in seconds with no tools required. It&rsquo;s a straightforward, fuss-free setup.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: Design</strong></h2>
<p>The overall design still centres on a round display, but this year it sits inside a soft square frame, giving the watch a cushion-shaped profile. It&rsquo;s a small change, but it modernises the look without moving away from Samsung&rsquo;s established style.</p>
<p>The Watch 8 is also slimmer than any Galaxy Watch before it, with the body reduced by 11% thanks to a redesigned internal layout. On the wrist, it feels lighter and less bulky, making it easier to wear all day. The new Dynamic Lug system lets the strap move more naturally with your wrist, adding comfort and potentially improving tracking accuracy.</p>
<p>The 44mm LTE model we tested does have some presence on smaller wrists, but for medium or larger wrists, it&rsquo;s a comfortable fit for both day and night wear &mdash; especially if you&rsquo;re planning to make use of the expanded sleep tracking features.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: Health tracking &amp; other features</strong></h2>
<p>Samsung has upgraded its BioActive Sensor for the Watch 8, aiming for greater accuracy across all health metrics. Sleep tracking now includes Bedtime Guidance, which monitors your circadian rhythm and suggests the ideal times to go to bed and wake up.</p>
<p>Two new health features debut this year. Vascular Load tracks cardiovascular strain while you&rsquo;re at rest, while the Antioxidant Index measures carotenoid levels in just five seconds &mdash; a first for any smartwatch. Both are designed to provide deeper insights into long-term health trends.</p>
<p>For this first look, we paired the Watch 8 with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and syncing data through Samsung Health was quick and reliable.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: AI on the Galaxy Watch</strong></h2>
<p>The Galaxy Watch 8 is the first to include Gemini AI. It allows you to start workouts, set reminders, or access Samsung&rsquo;s native apps with simple voice commands. This is less about novelty and more about speed &mdash; cutting down the time you spend navigating menus on a small screen.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: Battery life</strong></h2>
<p>Samsung has increased battery capacity by around 8% compared to last year&rsquo;s model. While that&rsquo;s not a huge jump, it could help balance the demands of new sensors and AI tools. The Galaxy Watch 7 lasted roughly 21 hours with the always-on display enabled, so it will be interesting to see if the Watch 8 can extend that figure in day-to-day use.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: Pricing and variants in India</strong></h2>
<p>Samsung&rsquo;s latest smartwatch comes in two case sizes &mdash; 40mm and 44mm &mdash; each available in Bluetooth and LTE versions. The 40mm Bluetooth model starts at ₹32,999, with LTE priced at ₹36,999. For the larger 44mm size, Bluetooth is ₹35,999 and LTE is ₹39,999. Colour options are straightforward: Graphite and Silver.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: First impressions</strong></h2>
<p>After some initial time with the Galaxy Watch 8, it&rsquo;s clear this is an evolution rather than a reinvention &mdash; and that works in its favour. The slimmer frame makes it more comfortable for extended wear, the health features feel more precise and relevant, and Gemini AI offers a quicker, hands-free way to interact with the watch.</p>
<p>Battery life will need more thorough testing, but the small capacity increase is promising. If you&rsquo;re looking for a smartwatch that builds on familiar strengths while adding genuinely useful refinements, the Galaxy Watch 8 feels like a step in the right direction.</p>

Here's what we found in our first look at Oppo’s K13 Turbo series which comes with built-in cooling fans, a 7,000mAh battery, and 120Hz AMOLED.

<li>K13 Turbo colours: Knight White, First Purple, Midnight Marvier</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 Turbo &amp; Oppo K13 Turbo Pro:&nbsp;Design and display</strong></h3>
<p>At first glance, you might mistake the rear cut-outs for extra camera lenses, but they&rsquo;re actual cooling fans. This is a first for India, with Oppo building the fan directly into the phone chassis. Both models sport sharp lines and racing-inspired finishes that scream gamer aesthetic.</p>
<p>The front is dominated by a 6.8-inch LTPS AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1,600 nits peak brightness, and flat edges. Smooth, sharp, and tuned for e-sports-level gameplay.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 Turbo &amp; Oppo K13 Turbo Pro:&nbsp;Performance</strong></h3>
<p>The K13 Turbo Pro runs Qualcomm&rsquo;s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, while the K13 Turbo gets MediaTek&rsquo;s new Dimensity 8450. Both are serious performers, with AnTuTu scores of 1.6 million for the Turbo and over 2 million for the Pro.</p>
<p>Both run BGMI at 120FPS with no early signs of throttling, thanks to the advanced cooling setup.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 Turbo &amp; Oppo K13 Turbo Pro:&nbsp;Cooling System</strong></h3>
<p>The standout feature is the in-built fan system spinning at up to 18,000rpm with ultra-thin 0.1mm blades. Combined with a massive vapour chamber, Oppo claims a 2&ndash;4&deg;C drop even during heavy loads in direct sunlight.</p>
<p>In our quick 30-minute BGMI session, both phones stayed noticeably cooler than typical flagships. You can run the fan in smart shift, full blast, or off mode. The Pro adds an RGB ring around the intake for extra gamer flair.</p>
<p>One downside is the lack of dust protection. Both are IPX9-rated for water resistance, but you&rsquo;ll need the included cleaning brush to keep things tidy.</p>
<h3>Oppo K13 Turbo &amp; Oppo K13 Turbo Pro:&nbsp;Battery &amp; Charging</h3>
<p>Both phones pack a huge 7,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, reverse wired charging, and bypass charging. In our early usage, even with gaming and max refresh rate, battery drain was slower than expected. These feel like genuine two-day phones for mixed use, and all-day devices for heavy gaming.</p>
<h3>Oppo K13 Turbo &amp; Oppo K13 Turbo Pro:&nbsp;Cameras</h3>
<p>As expected for gaming-first devices, the cameras are secondary. The setup is the same on both:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rear: 50MP Samsung OV02B1B primary + 2MP depth</li>
<li>Front: 16MP Sony IMX480</li>
</ul>
<p>In quick tests, shots in daylight are fine with decent detail, but low-light performance is clearly not the focus here. The front camera is serviceable for video calls and casual selfies, but don&rsquo;t expect flagship-level sharpness or HDR magic.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 Turbo &amp; Oppo K13 Turbo Pro: Software</strong></h3>
<p>They run ColorOS 15 on Android 15, with Oppo promising two years of OS updates and three years of security patches.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 Turbo Series Early Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>The K13 Turbo series is all about sustained gaming performance, and the in-built fan genuinely helps here. The Pro&rsquo;s pricing feels steep next to the Poco F7 and iQOO Neo 10, both of which share the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, so waiting for festive offers might be smart.</p>
<p>For gamers, the vanilla Turbo might be the better value since it delivers the same 120FPS gameplay, massive battery, and cooling tech for a much lower price.</p>

Here's a closer look at the Vivo V60's massive 6,500mAh battery, slick design, and new 50MP telephoto camera. Full reveal on Aug 12.

Vivo V60 first look: Big battery, solid zoom & clean design

The Vivo V60 brings a 6,500mAh battery, Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, and a new 50MP telephoto cam to the V-series. Clean design, sharp upgrades — launch set for August 12.

<h3 data-start="493" data-end="655"><strong>The Vivo V60 brings a 6,500mAh battery, Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, and a new 50MP telephoto cam to the V-series. Clean design, sharp upgrades &mdash; launch set for August 12.</strong></h3>

<p>Vivo isn&rsquo;t slowing down anytime soon. Barely six months after the V50 dropped, the brand&rsquo;s already prepping its successor &mdash; the Vivo V60. And while you might think this is just another rushed refresh, the upgrades here say otherwise.</p>
<p>The V60 is shaping up to be a sharper, smarter, and more stylish midranger. There&rsquo;s a faster chip, a beefier battery, and most interestingly, a dedicated telephoto camera &mdash; a feature you usually don&rsquo;t see in this price band. We haven&rsquo;t done a deep dive yet, but here&rsquo;s a quick take on what&rsquo;s new and worth talking about.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V60 First Look: A cleaner, classier design</strong></h3>
<p>At a glance, the V60 doesn&rsquo;t scream for attention &mdash; and that&rsquo;s kind of the point. The loud camera bump from the V50 has been swapped out for a slick, flat module inspired by the Vivo X200 FE, complete with Zeiss branding and the Aura Light ring. It blends into the back far more elegantly.</p>
<p>You&rsquo;ve got three colour options &mdash; Auspicious Gold, Moonlit Blue, and Mist Gray &mdash; and our matte gold unit manages to stay smudge-free while looking quietly premium. The chrome-finish frame adds just enough flair without tipping into tacky territory, and the soft curves make it an easy hold.</p>
<p>Despite now housing a 6,500mAh battery, the V60 doesn&rsquo;t feel chunky. It&rsquo;s still slim and light enough for everyday use. And the quad-curved display up front makes it look way more expensive than it is. Plus, with IP68 and IP69 ratings, it can handle dust, splashes, and accidental dunks &mdash; just don&rsquo;t get too bold with it near a pool.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V60 First Look: New chip, new AI tricks</strong></h3>
<p>Inside, the V60 packs Qualcomm&rsquo;s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 &mdash; a legit step up from the 7 Gen 3. You&rsquo;re getting better CPU and GPU performance, and more efficiency overall. It's the same chip found in the Realme 15 Pro, which handled pretty intense tasks without breaking a sweat in our testing.</p>
<p>That, paired with a 6,500mAh battery, should easily carry you through a heavy-use day. We haven&rsquo;t run our full drain tests yet, but on paper, it&rsquo;s one of the biggest jumps in the V-series yet.</p>
<p>On the software side, it&rsquo;s running Funtouch OS 15 over Android 15, with a few AI extras thrown in. You&rsquo;ve got AI Captions for auto-transcribing, AI Magic Move for smart editing, and Google Gemini baked right in. They&rsquo;re small features, but they do make the experience feel a bit more 2025-ready.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V60 First Look: Flagship-grade cameras</strong></h3>
<p>This time around, Vivo&rsquo;s playing the triple-camera card. There&rsquo;s a new 50MP main sensor (Sony IMX766), an 8MP ultrawide (meh), and the real highlight &mdash; a 50MP telephoto lens (Sony IMX882). For this price range, that&rsquo;s a flex.</p>
<p>Zoom shots at 3x and 10x look impressively clean, and even 100x isn&rsquo;t the usual blurry mess. Zeiss&rsquo;s colour tuning shines through in portraits, with strong edge detection and realistic skin tones. Vivo&rsquo;s also tossed in 85mm and 100mm portrait presets, plus Stage Portraits at 10x for a more dramatic feel.</p>
<p>The front 50MP selfie shooter also pulls its weight, capturing natural skin tones and crisp detail. You can shoot video at 4K 30fps with OIS, and there&rsquo;s a Wedding Vlog mode that auto-edits clips into a quick reel &mdash; fun, but would&rsquo;ve been better with more manual controls.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V60 First Look: Launch pricing could make or break this</strong></h3>
<p>The official India launch is set for August 12, and if Vivo follows last year&rsquo;s playbook, we can expect a base price between ₹35,000 and ₹40,000. With launch offers in the mix, it could slip just under ₹35K &mdash; and that would be huge.</p>
<p>Its biggest rivals? The Realme 15 Pro and Oppo Reno 14. Both bring style and performance, but the V60 edges ahead with that oversized battery, more polished design, and that all-important telephoto cam.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V60 First Look: Early verdict</strong></h3>
<p>The V60 doesn&rsquo;t try to reinvent the V-series &mdash; it just makes everything smoother. Better battery, better zoom, and smarter performance wrapped in a sleek design. If Vivo nails the pricing, this could be one of the most complete midrange phones this year.</p>

Here's an early look at the Realme P4 Pro a device that offiers 1.5K + 144Hz gaming, AI-powered visuals, Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 performance, and a premium Birch Wood design

Realme P4 Pro first look: 1.5K gaming at 144Hz thanks to a clever AI chip

<p data-start="873" data-end="1072">The Realme P4 Pro offers 144Hz gaming at 1.5K, thanks to an AI display chip, Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 performance, and a standout Birch Wood finish in the midrange segment.</p>

<p>The midrange smartphone space in India isn&rsquo;t short on options, but Realme&rsquo;s P4 Pro is coming in hot with a mix that&rsquo;s hard to ignore &mdash; flagship-grade gaming performance, AI-driven visual upgrades, and a design that refuses to blend in.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We got an early hands-on before its official launch, and it&rsquo;s already shaping up to be one of the most exciting phones of the year.</p>
<h3><strong>Realme P4 Pro first look: Solid performance, especially in gaming</strong></h3>
<p>Underneath, the Realme P4 Pro runs the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. This isn&rsquo;t just about numbers on paper &mdash; in our early use, it handled multitasking, app launches, and heavy workloads effortlessly.</p>
<p>But what makes the P4 Pro really special is the HyperVision AI Chip, a dedicated visual co-processor designed to enhance graphics and smoothness whether you&rsquo;re gaming or streaming.&nbsp;</p>
<p>You&rsquo;d usually expect this sort of hardware in a specialist gaming phone, yet here it is, in a package that is likely to be priced between ₹25,000 and ₹28,000 &mdash; potentially even less with bank offers.</p>
<p>While BGMI officially caps at 90fps, the P4 Pro&rsquo;s AI Hyper Motion pushes it to 144fps without dropping resolution.</p>
<p>Realme also claims that the P4 Pro is the first phone to hit 1.5K resolution and 144fps in BGMI at the same time, and early impressions suggest it&rsquo;s not just marketing talk.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The tech also works across 100+ other games, including Genshin Impact, making gameplay smoother and sharper without the usual visual compromises.</p>
<h3><strong>Realme P4 Pro first look: Display that steals the show</strong></h3>
<p>That AI horsepower isn&rsquo;t limited to games. Streaming on YouTube, Netflix, JioCinema, and Hotstar gets a boost, with SDR content converted to HDR on the fly. Side-by-side with the Moto Edge 60 Fusion, the P4 Pro delivered richer colours, sharper details, and smoother motion &mdash; the difference is noticeable even without pixel-peeping.</p>
<h3><strong>Realme P4 Pro first look: Design that turns heads</strong></h3>
<p>At 7.68mm thick and 189 grams, the P4 Pro is slim, light, and built for comfort. The large vapor chamber helps keep temps in check during heavy gaming sessions, while the standout Birch Wood finish gives it personality.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s technically plastic, but the subtle wood grain feels premium and instantly sets it apart from the sea of glass and metal phones.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Midnight and other finishes are available, but Birch Wood is the one that draws eyes.</p>
<h3>Realme P4 Pro first look: Final word</h3>
<p>Between the AI visuals, boosted gaming performance, premium design, and aggressive pricing, the Realme P4 Pro looks like it&rsquo;s ready to shake up the midrange category.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If Realme sticks the landing on price, this could be the phone to beat in 2025.</p>

The OPPO Pad SE delivers a smooth 90Hz screen, strong battery life, and practical features in a sleek design, all at ₹13,999. A great value tablet for students and casual users who want solid performance without breaking the bank.

Oppo Pad SE Review: Best Budget Tablet 2025?

<h2>OPPO Pad SE Review: Can this ₹13,999 tablet with an 11‑inch display, long battery life, and smooth performance be the best budget tablet under 15000 in India for students and casual users in 2025?</h2>

<p>The sub‑₹15,000 tablet market in India is packed with options, and Redmi got there first with the Pad 2, setting a strong benchmark for budget slates. OPPO followed up with the Pad SE at ₹13,999, entering the same crowded arena now joined by the OnePlus Pad Lite.</p>
<p>On paper, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/oppo-reno-14-pro-review-feat-oneplus-13r-the-slick-shooter-vs-the-performance-beast-1751534048008" target="_blank">OPPO&rsquo;s</a> pitch is clear: an 11‑inch 90Hz display, a huge battery, and a sleek, lightweight design that feels more premium than its price.</p>
<p>But specs are only half the story. In a segment where even small compromises can make or break a device, can the Pad SE really stand out against tried‑and‑tested rivals like Redmi and the newly arrived OnePlus, or will it get lost in the shuffle of budget tablets?</p>
<h3><strong>OPPO Pad SE Design: Sturdy build with practical touches</strong></h3>
<p>The OPPO Pad SE takes a clean, minimalist approach that feels more premium than its budget price suggests. The back panel is made of aluminum alloy with a subtle dual-tone finish, paired with a plastic frame to keep the weight in check. A single circular camera module sits neatly on the rear, maintaining a simple and understated look. The Starlight Silver variant looks elegant, while the Twilight Blue option adds a bit more personality.</p>
<p>At 530g and 7.39mm thick, the Pad SE is lightweight and easy to handle for long sessions. Up front, the bezels aren&rsquo;t the thinnest, but they&rsquo;re practical, giving you room to hold the tablet without triggering accidental touches.</p>
<h3><strong>OPPO Pad SE Display: Clear and smooth, with a few compromises</strong></h3>
<p>The <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/oppo-k13-5g-review-more-juice-less-fuss-1745225253699" target="_blank">OPPO</a> Pad SE comes with an 11‑inch 16:10 LCD panel at 1920x1200 resolution, which is sharp enough for casual streaming, browsing, and reading. It supports a 90Hz refresh rate with adaptive adjustment, so scrolling feels smooth and snappy. Colors are reasonably vivid, covering 98% of the color gamut, which gives videos and games a nice pop.</p>
<p>Brightness peaks at 500 nits, which is fine indoors but noticeably struggles under direct sunlight. In darker scenes, you can spot some ghosting and slightly off color reproduction &mdash; a reminder that this is a budget display. Still, for day‑to‑day use, it delivers a satisfying balance of sharpness, smoothness, and vibrancy.</p>
<h3><strong>OPPO Pad SE Performance: Solid for the basics, with some headroom</strong></h3>
<p>The OPPO Pad SE runs on MediaTek&rsquo;s Helio G100, which is plenty for everyday stuff &mdash; web browsing, streaming videos, and light multitasking all feel smooth. The base model I tested comes with 4GB of RAM, plus the option to expand with another 4GB virtually, and 128GB of storage. If you can stretch your budget by around two thousand rupees, there&rsquo;s an 8GB RAM variant with the same storage, but honestly, the base version holds up surprisingly well for casual use.</p>
<p>Benchmarks paint a realistic picture of its capabilities. The tablet hits 433,599 on AnTuTu, while Geekbench 6 scores land at 709 for single‑core and 1872 for multi‑core CPU performance. The GPU manages 1366, which is fine for light to moderate gaming. You can play casual titles without much trouble, but expect some stutter if you push into the heavier, graphics‑intensive games.</p>
<h3><strong>OPPO Pad SE Battery life: Easily lasts the day</strong></h3>
<p>The OPPO Pad SE comes with a 9,340mAh battery, and it holds up really well. In my testing, it sailed through a full day of browsing, streaming, and some light gaming without breaking a sweat. For a budget tablet, that kind of all‑day endurance is exactly what you want.</p>
<p>Charging, on the other hand, is on the slower side. The included 33W charger takes close to two hours for a full top‑up. It&rsquo;s not a dealbreaker, but you&rsquo;ll need to plan ahead if the battery runs low. Once charged, though, the Pad SE reliably powers through an entire day of use.</p>
<h3><strong>OPPO Pad SE Cameras: Functional, and that&rsquo;s enough</strong></h3>
<p>The OPPO Pad SE keeps things simple with a 5MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera, both capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps. They&rsquo;re not here to win any photography awards, but they get the basics right. Video calls are clear, scanning documents works fine, and casual snapshots are perfectly serviceable.</p>
<p>Image quality is about what you&rsquo;d expect at this price &mdash; decent in good light, soft in low light, and nothing you&rsquo;ll want to frame. For most budget tablet users, though, that&rsquo;s all you really need.</p>
<h3><strong>OPPO Pad SE Software: Clean, practical, and a little clever</strong></h3>
<p>ColorOS 15 powers the OPPO Pad SE Lite, and the experience is refreshingly straightforward. Navigation feels smooth, and OPPO hasn&rsquo;t overloaded the interface with unnecessary extras. Instead, the software leans on a handful of smart, practical features that make sense for a budget tablet.</p>
<p>Families will appreciate the built‑in Kids Mode, which creates a safe, controlled space for younger users &mdash; an important addition for tablets in this price range. Google Gemini AI Assistant is integrated as well, offering quick voice interactions and on‑device help. For photos, OPPO includes some lightweight AI tools like AI Eraser, Enhance Clarity, Unblur, and Remove Reflections. They&rsquo;re simple but handy for cleaning up casual shots without opening a separate editing app.</p>
<h3><strong>OPPO Pad SE Review: A budget tablet that gets the basics right</strong></h3>
<p>At ₹13,999, the OPPO Pad SE hits that sweet spot for an affordable, all‑rounder tablet. It delivers a sturdy, premium‑feeling design, a smooth 11‑inch display, dependable battery life, and enough performance for streaming, note‑taking, and light multitasking.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s not built for heavy gaming or serious creative work, but that&rsquo;s not what this tablet is trying to be. For students, casual media consumption, or anyone looking for a simple, reliable tablet experience without overspending, the OPPO Pad SE nails the essentials.</p>

Is the OnePlus Pad Lite the ultimate media tablet under ₹15K? We test display, audio, performance, and battery to see if it lives up to the hype.

OnePlus Pad Lite Review: Best budget tablet under ₹15K?

<h3 data-start="1196" data-end="1368"><strong>OnePlus Pad Lite nails the basics for under ₹15K&mdash;solid screen, loud speakers, great battery&mdash;but lags in performance and charging. A great pick for streaming and casual use.</strong></h3>

<p>Most people buying an entry-level tablet just want a bigger screen for watching shows, browsing, or scrolling through YouTube. Basically, a media machine.</p>
<p>OnePlus thinks their Pad Lite, starting at around ₹13K with discounts and bank offers, is the perfect fit for this niche. But does it actually live up to the hype, or is it just another budget tablet in a sea of options?&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Display &amp; Audio</strong></h2>
<p>Let&rsquo;s start with the display, because that&rsquo;s what really matters for a media machine. The OnePlus Pad Lite comes with an 11-inch FHD+ LCD panel with a peak brightness of 500 nits and a 90Hz refresh rate.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the price, it&rsquo;s decent, but honestly, it hasn&rsquo;t blown me away. The pixel density isn&rsquo;t great, but that did not sour my experience that much. The bezels are also properly proportioned, and you need them to be this thick, otherwise holding the tab becomes a challenge.</p>
<p>And because this is a 16:10 display, instead of the usual 7:5 panel that OnePlus has been using so far, we get far smaller black bars when watching videos.</p>
<p>Now, there&rsquo;s no HDR, and since it&rsquo;s an LCD, the colours don&rsquo;t pop like they would on an OLED. That said, for the price, the colours and contrast are pretty good.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Outdoor visibility isn&rsquo;t great but that's mostly due to the glossy finish which doesn&rsquo;t help with reflections.</p>
<p>Budget tablets often cheapen out when it comes to audio, but this is where the Pad Lite impressed me is though. It gets a set of quad speakers which are Hi-Res audio-certified, and they are they&rsquo;re fantastic for casual use.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sure, you won&rsquo;t get that thumping bass, but for regular day-to-day use, they get the job done. You also get support for some serious codecs, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC, and SBC codec over Bluetooth 5.4. I wish OnePlus had included a 3.5mm headphone jack, though.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Design</strong></h2>
<p>If the Pad Lite looks familiar, that&rsquo;s because it basically picks up where the OnePlus Pad Go left off. We get the same plastic sides, dual-tone finish on the aluminium alloy back panel and honestly, it feels pretty nice in hand. The Pad Lite is slim at 7.39mm, weighs around 530 grams, and comes in just one colour&mdash;blue.</p>
<p>Now, just like the Pad Go, there&rsquo;s no official keyboard folio or stylus support. Plus, you don&rsquo;t get pogo pins, and no palm rejection either.</p>
<p>There's also no fingerprint scanner on the power button, and face unlock is pretty basic since it only uses the front camera.</p>
<h2><strong>Performance</strong></h2>
<p>Performance is what you would expect from an entry-level tab. We get the MediaTek Helio G100 SoC, which is a pretty decent chip, but from 2024. OnePlus could have gone for the G200, which launched earlier this year.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our LTE model comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Cellular connectivity at this price is nice to have, though I really wish 5G had made the cut. Then again, 5G in this range is still rare, so it&rsquo;s hard to complain too much.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re considering the Wi-Fi-only version, keep in mind that it drops to 6GB of RAM and there's also no expendable storage option for any model.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I ran some benchmarks, and the results were pretty much what I expected.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Antutu Lite, I got a score of 4.3 lakhs. Geekbench wasn&rsquo;t great either, 718 on single-core, 1924 on multi-core. 3DMark scores were weak too. In the Wildlife Extreme Stress Test I got 98. per cent stability, but the best loop score was just 378.</p>
<p>In day-to-day use, though, it&rsquo;s fine for stuff like browsing, videos, and light gaming, as long as you manage your expectations.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In gaming, I averaged 58.8 fps in BGMI, but the visuals were poor. In CoD Mobile, I averaged 39.7 fps on low graphics. Both were definitely playable, but were very underwhelming.</p>
<p>What&rsquo;s weird is, when I would watch a video on YouTube, it would often default to a super low stream. If I bumped it up to 1080P 60fps, it took a while for the tablet to catch up. And in 1440P 60fps, it started stuttering. &nbsp;Hope OnePlus pushes an update to fix this.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Cameras</strong></h2>
<p>As for the cameras, it packs a 5MP main camera that shoots 1080p videos at 30fps, and a 5MP selfie cam that does an okay job in video calls. But really, who&rsquo;s using a tablet to snap photos?&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Software</strong></h2>
<p>You get OxygenOS 15, which brings a ton of OnePlus ecosystem features, so you can easily share photos between your phone and tablet using Clipboard Sharing and Shared Gallery. Plus, there&rsquo;s O+ Connect, so you can even share stuff with Apple devices.</p>
<p>I also really liked the OpenCanvas feature&mdash;it makes switching between apps or going split-screen super easy.</p>
<p>And of course, since it's 2025, you get some AI features from Google Gemini for basic text generation and photo editing. For the price, it works pretty well. As for updates, OnePlus told us that the Pad Lite will recieve 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security updates, which I think is pretty great for this segment.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Battery &amp; charging</strong></h2>
<p>Coming to the battery life, I had no complaints. The 9340mAh battery easily lasted me a couple of days with normal use.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But there is a catch - the Pad Lite supports 33W charging, but OnePlus decided to include a 15W charger in the box. So, yeah, expect it to take well over two hours to top it up fully.</p>
<h2><strong>Verdict</strong></h2>
<p>So, is the OnePlus Pad Lite worth it? For casual users, yes. It&rsquo;s great for watching videos, browsing, and light gaming.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The display is decent enough, the audio is surprisingly good, and battery life holds up well.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But if you&rsquo;re chasing serious performance, you&rsquo;ll probably need to stretch your budget past ₹20,000. Most tablets under ₹15,000 are running on very similar hardware, so there&rsquo;s only so much speed you can squeeze out of this segment.</p>
<p>Starting at ₹13,000 with offers, the OnePlus Pad Lite is a solid pick for media consumption. Just don&rsquo;t expect high-end multitasking or gaming. For the basics, it gets the job done without much fuss.</p>

OPPO’s K13 Turbo Series introduces active cooling, a built-in fan, and a 7000mAh battery to tackle mobile gaming heat — but does it deliver?

OPPO K13 Turbo series to launch in India with unique built-in cooling fan

<h2><strong>OPPO&rsquo;s K13 Turbo Series introduces active cooling, a built-in fan, and a 7000mAh battery to tackle mobile gaming heat &mdash; but does it deliver?</strong></h2>

<p>Gaming smartphones aren&rsquo;t new, but most still rely solely on passive heat management. With the K13 Turbo Series, OPPO aims to challenge that by introducing an active + passive hybrid cooling system, designed to keep gameplay smooth even under extended load.</p>
<p>The lineup includes two models &mdash; the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro &mdash; both engineered to offer better thermal stability using a combination of internal fans, vapour chambers, and graphite layers. OPPO claims a temperature drop of 2&ndash;4&deg;C in high-load games like BGMI, particularly in warm environments.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 Turbo Series: Real-world gaming gains</strong></h3>
<p>The phones feature a 7000mm&sup2; vapour chamber and a 19,000mm&sup2; graphite heat spreader, alongside a compact internal fan. This setup is built to mitigate thermal throttling, where performance dips when the CPU overheats.</p>
<p>The graphite draws heat from critical components like the processor, battery, and display. Meanwhile, the fan kicks in during sustained gaming to help maintain consistent frame rates and responsiveness. It&rsquo;s not just about numbers &mdash; cooler phones are more comfortable to hold and allow for more accurate touch input, which can matter in fast-paced titles.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 Turbo Series outdoor gaming test: Does it hold up?</strong></h3>
<p>Gaming outdoors is a known stress test for phones &mdash; high ambient temperatures, sunlight, and maxed-out brightness often cause thermal shutdowns. OPPO says it has addressed this with a 10W/m-k thermal gel, dense-fin fan design, and software tuning to keep the CPU stable. According to OPPO, in real-world outdoor tests, 84% of users experienced temperatures below 43&deg;C, even during extended BGMI sessions.</p>
<p>Performance boosts of up to 11% in CPU arithmetic loads were observed under these conditions, thanks to active fan control and power draw optimization.</p>
<h3><strong>Durability and design</strong></h3>
<p>The fan module inside the K13 Turbo isn&rsquo;t just functional &mdash; it&rsquo;s IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 rated, meaning it&rsquo;s built to resist water exposure from sweat, rain, or spills. Despite the added hardware, the phone retains a slim form factor and fits in a 7000mAh battery, aided by a space-efficient cooling module that&rsquo;s 70% smaller than typical external fan solutions.</p>
<p>The OPPO K13 Turbo Series is clearly engineered for mobile gamers &mdash; particularly those who play outdoors or for long durations. On paper, its cooling system and thermal performance are impressive, but much depends on real-world testing. If it delivers on its claims, this could be one of the most practical phones for gamers under tough conditions &mdash; especially for markets like India where heat is a real issue.</p>
<p>Whether this sets a new bar or remains a niche feature will depend on pricing, battery endurance, and how loud (or discreet) that fan turns out to be.</p>

The Galaxy Z Flip7 finally brings a full cover screen, slimmer design, and AI-powered features to Samsung’s flip game. A premium foldable that blends style with function.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 Review: Full cover display, premium foldable phone

<h3 data-start="687" data-end="830"><strong>The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is Samsung&rsquo;s most complete flip phone yet, with a bigger cover display, polished design, and smarter tools for everyday use.</strong></h3>

<p>For years, Samsung&rsquo;s Flip series nailed the vibe but always felt like it was one smart feature short of being truly great. It had the flair, the compact cool factor, and that addictive snap shut.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But that tiny outer display? It held the whole experience back. It was there, sure&mdash;but more as a glanceable widget window than a usable screen. Until now.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung&rsquo;s finally gone all-in on functionality. The outer display now stretches edge to edge, and it&rsquo;s not just a design flex; it completely changes how you use the phone. You can reply to messages, run apps, even snap selfies without ever flipping it open. It finally feels like the Flip series is done playing sidekick to the Fold. It&rsquo;s ready to lead its own story.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Review: Design</strong></h2>
<p>When I first picked up the Flip 7, I had a bit of deja vu &mdash; it looked almost exactly like last year&rsquo;s Flip6. But after using it for a few days, the subtle changes started making themselves known. It&rsquo;s slightly wider and noticeably slimmer, and that small design shift actually makes a big difference. Folded shut, it comes in at just 13.7mm thick, and when opened up, it&rsquo;s barely 6.5mm. To put that into perspective, it&rsquo;s even sleeker than the S25 Ultra, which I already thought was thin at 8.2mm.</p>
<p>That slim profile also sits very well with most pockets. I didn&rsquo;t have to wrestle with my pockets to get it in or out. It just slid in effortlessly, no weird bulges or awkward angles. Even my mum &mdash; who swears by her Flip 4 and is extremely particular about how a phone fits in her jeans &mdash; gave this one a nod. That says a lot.</p>
<p>Build-wise, Samsung&rsquo;s sticking with what works. The front and back are coated in Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and the frame is made from their sturdy Armour Aluminium. It still has an IP48 rating too, which means I didn&rsquo;t have to panic when it got dusty during a shoot or caught in a quick drizzle.</p>
<p>The hinge felt a little tighter than I expected at first. It also shuts with a satisfying snap &mdash; maybe a little too satisfying the first few times. But once I got used to the motion, it felt solid and reassuring. No wobble, no softness.</p>
<p>Button layout hasn&rsquo;t changed. The power button (which doubles as the fingerprint scanner) and the volume rocker are still on the right side. I did notice the fingerprint sensor sometimes needed a second touch, but it wasn&rsquo;t a huge deal. Ports and speaker are down at the bottom &mdash; USB-C, mic, and a single bottom-firing speaker.</p>
<p>Now let&rsquo;s talk colour. I had the Blue Shadow model, and honestly, it&rsquo;s stunning. The matte back and frame blend into each other perfectly. When the cover screen&rsquo;s off, the top half just fades into black, giving the whole phone a two-tone, stealthy vibe that I really liked.</p>
<p>The camera rings on the back are slightly raised, but they don&rsquo;t stick out awkwardly. Overall, this isn&rsquo;t a loud redesign, but a kind of upgrade that just feels better the more you use it. Subtle, clean, and polished, exactly what a modern flip phone should be.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Review: Displays</strong></h2>
<p>The Flip 7&rsquo;s most noticeable upgrade is its display setup, especially the outer screen. Samsung has expanded it from 3.6 inches to a much more usable 4.1 inches. With barely-there 0.05-inch bezels and a sharp Super AMOLED panel, it finally feels like a proper screen rather than just a window for widgets and notifications.</p>
<p>It also gets seriously bright. The cover screen peaks at 2,600 nits and supports a variable refresh rate between 60Hz and 120Hz. Thanks to Vision Booster, I could clearly see it even in direct sunlight. Whether I was checking directions, snapping quick selfies, or replying to messages, the outer display felt far more useful than on any previous Flip. Typing was slightly more comfortable too, though some software limitations still get in the way. I&rsquo;ll cover that in the next section.</p>
<p>Once opened, the Flip 7 reveals a larger 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. It offers the same peak brightness and a smooth adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz. This tall, narrow form factor is great for scrolling through apps or reading. However, watching widescreen videos still feels a bit constrained, with black bars on either side.</p>
<p>The crease is still there but fades into the background once the screen is on. What stood out more was the inner display&rsquo;s reflectiveness in bright rooms. It was a little distracting, but the excellent brightness mostly made up for it.</p>
<p>These aren&rsquo;t just spec boosts. They genuinely improve how the Flip 7 works in everyday life.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Review: Cameras</strong></h2>
<p>On the hardware front, not much has changed with the Flip 7&rsquo;s cameras. It&rsquo;s still rocking a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 10MP selfie camera inside. But if I&rsquo;m being honest, I barely used the inner selfie shooter at all. For most selfies and quick snaps, I stuck to the main camera via the cover screen. It&rsquo;s faster, looks better, and just feels more natural to use.</p>
<p>What keeps the Flip camera experience interesting is, once again, the folding design. FlexCam mode activates when the phone is bent halfway, and it&rsquo;s genuinely useful. I could adjust settings with just one hand and shift the focus point without tapping awkwardly. It works brilliantly for hands-free shots, group selfies, or even quick videos.</p>
<p>Samsung may not have changed the lenses, but image quality has improved. The new ProVisual Engine, paired with the Exynos 2500, does a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Colours look more balanced, contrast is better, and you get 10-bit HDR+ enabled by default.</p>
<p>The main sensor produced sharp, punchy images that looked great on screen. The ultrawide was a pleasant surprise during daytime use. And when it came to video, I mostly shot in 4K at 60fps with HDR on, because the colours and detail just looked that good.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Review: Performance &amp; Software</strong></h2>
<p>This year, Samsung ditched the usual Snapdragon chip for its in-house Exynos 2500, and I was curious to see how it would hold up. On paper, the specs look strong with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. And in day-to-day use, it did feel fast enough. App launches were snappy, multitasking was smooth, and the camera app never stuttered on me.</p>
<p>In benchmark tests like Geekbench and Antutu, the scores were decent for a foldable, even if they didn&rsquo;t break any records. But where I started noticing some limits was during gaming. Running graphically heavy games drained the battery quicker than I expected, and the phone got noticeably warm after just a few rounds.</p>
<p>Even basic tasks like setting up the phone or taking a burst of photos made the frame feel a bit toasty. It never became uncomfortable to hold, but the heat build-up was obvious. Extended gaming sessions turned the warmth into a constant presence.</p>
<p>Clearly, the Exynos 2500 prioritises power over thermal control. If you&rsquo;re using it casually, it should be fine. But if you push the phone with long gaming sessions or heavy multitasking, it&rsquo;s worth using a case just to keep things feeling cooler.</p>
<p>I found the Flip 7&rsquo;s software to be mostly solid, though it occasionally tripped over its own ambition.</p>
<p>It runs One UI 8 on top of Android, and while it feels familiar and well-polished, a few quirks held it back from being truly great. If you&rsquo;ve used One UI 7 before, you&rsquo;ll feel right at home. Visually, not much has changed, but the overall experience is still smooth and refined.</p>
<p>Multitasking has definitely improved. I liked how easily I could toggle between two apps &mdash; one full-screen and the other minimised in a floating window. It made juggling tasks feel a lot more natural.</p>
<p>This is also the first Flip model to get Samsung DeX support. I didn&rsquo;t end up using it much, but the fact that I could plug it into a monitor and get a full desktop-style layout is pretty cool. Some people will love having that flexibility.</p>
<p>Galaxy AI is built in too, but I found myself relying more on Google&rsquo;s Gemini. The new Live AI Mode worked surprisingly well. I could chat, ask follow-ups, or even share my screen for visual searches &mdash; and on a foldable like this, that added a fun layer of utility.</p>
<p>The main letdown, though, was the outer display setup. Out of the box, it&rsquo;s limited to basic widgets. To use real apps, I had to go through Good Lock, install MultiStar, configure it manually, and only then could I get it working the way I wanted. For a phone in this price range, that setup should have been much simpler.</p>
<p>There are a few other oddities too. I couldn&rsquo;t use Gboard on the cover screen, and replying to WhatsApp messages often forced me to open the phone. The seven-year update promise is great, but Samsung still has work to do on the software side to match how good the hardware feels.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Review: Battery</strong></h2>
<p>Battery life on the Flip 7 was solid for everyday stuff. I could scroll, chat, stream, and map my way through the day without running for a charger. But throw in a gaming session, and things dropped fast. The Exynos 2500 clearly isn&rsquo;t built for efficiency under pressure. What&rsquo;s more disappointing is that charging still hasn&rsquo;t improved. It&rsquo;s capped at 25W wired, and a full charge took around 90 minutes. For a premium phone, that feels slow. Great for casual use, but if you&rsquo;re a power user, you&rsquo;ll definitely want to keep your charger close.</p>
<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Review: Verdict</strong></h2>
<p>The Flip 7 is the first time I&rsquo;ve felt like Samsung truly nailed the flip phone formula. It doesn&rsquo;t shake things up dramatically, but the upgrades make a real impact.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The slimmer design feels great, the displays are a big step up in brightness and usability, and the camera results were consistently solid. I also liked how useful Google Gemini felt on this form factor. That said, the Exynos chip didn&rsquo;t wow me. It runs warm under load, and the battery dips quickly with heavy use.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Still, for anyone curious about foldables, this is the most convincing Flip yet. It finally balances style and substance in a way that makes it easy to recommend.</p>

Realme P4 Pro review: A sleek mid-range phone with dual-chip performance boost, vibrant AMOLED display, solid cameras, and great value at ₹24,999. Perfect mix of power and style.

Realme P4 Pro Review: Best phone under 25000? 

<h2><strong>Realme P4 Pro packs dual-chip performance, 144Hz AMOLED screen, and 7,000mAh battery with 80W charging. But at ₹24,999, is it the true mid-range flagship killer?</strong></h2>

<p>The Realme P4 Pro 5G lands in the under ₹25,000 space as another tempting option in a segment that&rsquo;s already crowded with heavy hitters.&nbsp;</p>
<p>On paper, it borrows a lot from its pricier sibling, the <a title="Realme 15 Pro Review" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/realme-15-pro-review-ft-oneplus-nord-ce-5-nothing-phone-3a-one-mid-ranger-to-rule-them-all-1753372808953">Realme 15 Pro</a> &mdash; the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is here, so is the massive 7,000mAh battery. But Realme wants this one to stand out for performance.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The pitch is a new dual-chip setup called Hyper Vision AI, designed to push the display harder and even unlock up to 144fps in games.</p>
<p>The question, of course, is whether that extra silicon actually changes the experience or if it&rsquo;s just Realme&rsquo;s latest buzzword.</p>
<h3><strong>Realme P4 Pro Review: Performance &amp; Hyper Vision AI Chip</strong></h3>
<p>Let&rsquo;s start with performance because the P4 Pro wastes no time showing off. Inside, it runs the <a title="Vivo V60 First Look" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/vivo-v60-first-look-is-this-2025-s-flagship-killer-1754912891557" target="_blank">Snapdragon 7 Gen 4</a>, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.&nbsp;</p>
<p>On benchmarks, it does exactly what you&rsquo;d hope: 1088469 million on AnTuTu and a 98.2 percent stability score in 3DMark&rsquo;s Wild Life stress test.</p>
<p>Numbers aside, the phone just feels fast. Apps open in a blink, multitasking is smooth, and even when you throw a dozen things at it, the P4 Pro doesn&rsquo;t break stride. That&rsquo;s the baseline. What makes it stand out, though, is the new Hyper Vision AI Chip.</p>
<p>Think of it as a visual co-processor, a piece of silicon dedicated to making games and videos look better. We&rsquo;ve seen similar hardware in pricier devices like the <a title="iQOO Neo 10 Review" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/iqoo-neo-10-review-a-budget-beast-that-punches-way-above-its-weight-class-1748245904502" target="_blank">iQOO Neo 10</a>, but Realme is bringing it down to a friendlier price bracket.</p>
<p>The results are hard to ignore. Take BGMI, which normally tops out at 90fps. With the AI Hyper Motion feature switched on, the P4 Pro pushes gameplay all the way to 144fps.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s essentially using AI frame generation to multiply the output of the CPU and GPU, and it doesn&rsquo;t just work on one game&mdash;Realme says over a hundred titles are supported, including heavy hitters like <a title="OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Unboxing" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/oneplus-12r-genshin-impact-edition-review-unboxing-best-gaming-phone-check-price-specs-pros-cons-1713592142937" target="_blank">Genshin Impact.</a></p>
<p>What&rsquo;s even more impressive is how it does it. Most phones cheat a little by dropping resolution to 720p in order to chase high frame rates. Not here.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Realme claims the P4 Pro is the first phone that can handle BGMI at 1.5K resolution and 144fps at the same time. From our tests, it really does deliver, which is wild for a phone in this bracket.</p>
<p>All of that power would typically make a device run hot enough to toast bread, but the P4 Pro&rsquo;s 7000mm&sup2; vapor chamber cooling system keeps it in check.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Long sessions of COD Mobile, BGMI, or Genshin Impact didn&rsquo;t trigger throttling or noticeable frame drops. Just smooth gameplay and a phone that never once felt like it was about to melt in my hands.</p>
<h2><strong>Realme P4 Pro Review: Design &amp; Utility</strong></h2>
<p>The Realme P4 Pro 5G feels like a phone punching above its weight. It&rsquo;s slim at 7.68mm and surprisingly light at 189 grams, yet it still squeezes in a 7,000mAh battery. That combination alone is impressive.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Realme offers it in three finishes: Birch Wood, Midnight Ivy, and Dark Oak Wood. I&rsquo;ve been using the Birch Wood version; honestly, that&rsquo;s the one to get.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It looks unique and adds the kind of personality that most mid range phones desperately lack. The vibe reminds me a lot of the Moto Edge 50 Ultra from last year, and that&rsquo;s a good thing.</p>
<p>Yes, it&rsquo;s technically plastic, but the execution is excellent. The texture is subtle, the wood grain looks convincing, and it avoids that &ldquo;cheap glossy plastic&rdquo; look that plagues so many phones at this price.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Around the back, the stretched-out camera island runs across the width of the phone &mdash; something we&rsquo;re going to see a lot more of once the iPhone 17 Pro drops later this year. The only problem is that the individual camera rings still protrude, which makes the phone wobble on a desk.</p>
<p>On the durability front, the curved front panel gets Corning&rsquo;s Gorilla Glass 7i, and the device carries an IP65/66 rating. That&rsquo;s solid for splashes and dust, but it&rsquo;s technically a step down from the Realme P3 Pro, which went as far as IP69.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Everything is laid out conventionally for ports and buttons: power and volume on the right, dual SIM slot and USB-C at the bottom alongside the primary mic and loudspeaker.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Up top, you&rsquo;ll find a second mic, another speaker vent, and yes &mdash; an IR blaster, which is still one of those rare but surprisingly useful extras.</p>
<h3><strong>Realme P4 Pro Review: Display</strong></h3>
<p>The P4 Pro comes with a 6.8-inch 1.5K 4D curved AMOLED display, and Realme clearly wants you to notice it. It pushes up to 144Hz refresh rate, though that full speed only shows up in a few apps like Calculator (yes, your math will look extra smooth) while most of the UI hangs around at 120Hz.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Colors pop right out of the box with 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and you can tinker between Vivid, Natural, and Pro modes&mdash;or go all-in with Cinematic and Brilliant if you like your display extra punchy.</p>
<p>You&rsquo;re covered with HDR10 on Netflix and full HDR playback on YouTube. The Hyper Vision AI chip also does a bit of behind-the-scenes trickery, upscaling SDR content into HDR so even an old video looks like it got a glow-up.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The difference was striking when I lined up the new Avatar trailer on the P4 Pro next to the Moto Edge 60 Fusion. The Realme pushed out playback that felt crisper, smoother, and more alive, almost like we were streaming at a higher bitrate.</p>
<p>Brightness isn&rsquo;t an issue either: the panel can hit a claimed 6,500 nits peak with 1,800 nits reserved for outdoor high-brightness mode&mdash;so legibility under the sun is solid. Add in stereo speakers that easily handle Netflix binges, and the whole setup feels premium.</p>
<h3>Realme P4 Pro Review: Camera Performance</h3>
<p>The Realme P4 Pro keeps things straightforward in the camera department: two usable lenses on the back, and one for selfies. The star here is the 50MP main OIS camera with Sony&rsquo;s IMX896 sensor, paired with an 8MP ultra-wide that&rsquo;s more about convenience than quality.</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s also a depth sensor hanging around, but that&rsquo;s really just there to pad out the spec sheet. Up front, you get another 50MP sensor for selfies, which sounds a little overkill but actually pays off.</p>
<p>Both the main rear shooter and the selfie camera can record at 4K 60fps, which is nice to see at this price.&nbsp;</p>
<p>You also get the option to pick between two photo styles &mdash; &ldquo;Vibrant&rdquo; and &ldquo;Crisp.&rdquo; One pushes colors warmer, the other leans toward sharpness. I stuck with Crisp during testing, and for the most part, the results felt balanced: good color, solid white balance, and dynamic range that holds up.</p>
<p>That said, there are quirks. Bright skies have a habit of blowing out, reds lean toward neon, and textures look a bit unrealistic if you zoom in too far. Low-light performance is serviceable, with Night mode pulling in extra light while keeping most of the noise under control.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s even a 2x zoom toggle in the app &mdash; it&rsquo;s all digital, since there&rsquo;s no telephoto lens, but the results are fine as long as you don&rsquo;t pixel-peep. Portrait mode is surprisingly solid, and even at 2x it delivers images that feel polished enough for social feeds.</p>
<p>The 8MP ultra-wide, unfortunately, doesn&rsquo;t match the main shooter. It&rsquo;s handy for group shots or landscapes, but the edges distort and the sharpness just isn&rsquo;t there.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 50MP selfie camera, on the other hand, redeems things. Selfies have plenty of detail, pleasing skin tones, and a natural depth effect that makes them pop.</p>
<p>Video quality holds up well, with no noticeable overexposure issues. Stability, though, is noticeably better at 4K 30fps than at 60fps.</p>
<h3><strong>Realme P4 Pro Review: Software</strong></h3>
<p>The Realme P4 Pro ships with Realme UI 6.0 on top of Android 15, and it's fun to interact with. Animations are smooth, the control center is quick to pull up, and there&rsquo;s enough customization here to keep tinkering types happy.</p>
<p>Realme has also leaned into the AI buzz with things like AI Edit Genie inside the Gallery app &mdash; you can throw it a text or voice prompt, and it does a surprisingly decent job at cleaning up your photos.</p>
<p>But then comes the part every Realme user knows too well: the bloatware. The phone greets you with a buffet of duplicate apps &mdash; two browsers, two galleries, two app stores, even two game hubs. Half from Google, half from Realme, and all of them fighting for attention on your homescreen.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s a classic case of &ldquo;because we can&rdquo; software design, and it clutters what could have been a clean Android 15 experience.</p>
<p>On the bright side, the Realme P4 Pro is set to get three major Android OS updates and four years of security fixes. That means you&rsquo;re covered all the way to Android 18, with patches running until around 2029.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Realme P4 Pro Review: Battery &amp; Charging</strong></h3>
<p>The phone comes with a massive 7000mAh battery, same as the Realme 15 Pro. I&rsquo;ll admit, I was a little doubtful about how slapping an extra chip in there would affect endurance, but it actually works in the phone&rsquo;s favor. With two chips splitting up tasks, the CPU and GPU don&rsquo;t get overworked, resulting in better stamina than I expected.</p>
<p>In my usage, which included 4K video recording, a few rounds of high-graphic gaming, and plenty of multitasking, it still pushed through about a day and a half without needing a top-up.</p>
<p>Charging is handled by 80W SuperVOOC, which takes it to 50% in 35 minutes and 100% in about an hour and 15 minutes. You also get 10W reverse charging for topping up other devices, plus some clever tricks like cap charging at 80% for battery health, and bypass charging when gaming so the heat doesn&rsquo;t fry the cell.</p>
<h3><strong>Realme P4 Pro Review: Price &amp; Variants</strong></h3>
<p>The Realme P4 Pro starts at ₹24,999 for the base variant, which offers 8GB of RAM paired with 128GB of storage. Moving up the ladder, you get an 8GB RAM option with double the storage at 256GB for ₹26,999.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For those who want the most powerful configuration available, the top-end model comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, priced at ₹28,999.</p>
<h3><strong>Realme P4 Pro Review: Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>The Realme P4 Pro is one of those <a title="OnePlus Nord CE5 Review" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/mobiles/oneplus-nord-ce5-review-not-flashy-but-it-seriously-delivers-1752065162885" target="_blank">mid-range phones</a> that feels like it&rsquo;s reaching a tier higher than its price suggests.</p>
<p>The dual-chip magic isn&rsquo;t just a gimmick; it really does give games and video a lift. Battery life is another highlight &mdash; a big 7,000 mAh cell that comfortably lasts more than a day, even if you&rsquo;re leaning on it for streaming or long gaming runs.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The display is bright, sharp, and smooth, making it easy to enjoy whether you&rsquo;re indoors or outdoors. The cameras won&rsquo;t win any awards, but they&rsquo;re dependable for social media and casual photography.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Realme&rsquo;s software still comes with a bit of extra baggage, though regular updates soften that blow. For under ₹25,000, the P4 Pro stands out as one of the most performance-driven options you can buy right now.</p>

Infinix GT 30 review: Cyber Mecha design, 144Hz AMOLED, Dimensity 7400, and strong gaming features under ₹21K. Great for gamers, though average cameras and limited updates hold it back.

Infinix GT 30 Review: A solid gaming phone with 144Hz display on a budget 

<h2>Infinix GT 30 stands out with Mecha lights, 144Hz AMOLED, and gaming triggers. Solid for performance and battery, but cameras and long-term software support are its weak points.</h2>

<p>The sub-₹20,000 smartphone space is crowded with options promising big performance at reasonable prices. With the GT 30, Infinix isn&rsquo;t trying to blend in&mdash;it&rsquo;s going after a very specific audience.</p>
<p>This phone is made for gamers and young buyers who want their device to look bold, perform reliably in demanding titles, and offer a few unique tricks you won&rsquo;t usually see in this category.</p>
<p>From the Mecha lighting system to gaming shoulder triggers and a 144Hz AMOLED display, the GT 30 positions itself as more than just another budget phone. But when a device leans this heavily on gaming features, the big question is whether it also holds up as an everyday all-rounder.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix GT 30 Review: Design and build</strong></h3>
<p>The first thing you&rsquo;ll notice about the <a title="Infinix Hot 60i Review" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/infinix-hot-60i-review-feature-packed-long-lasting-and-surprisingly-stylish-1755695887102" target="_blank">Infinix</a> GT 30 is the Mecha lighting system at the back. It&rsquo;s not subtle, and that&rsquo;s the point. The LEDs can glow for calls, notifications, charging, or even pulse along with music and games. You can tweak the LED patterns in the settings as well.</p>
<p>For a phone in this segment, it&rsquo;s easily the most striking feature, and it does succeed in giving the GT 30 a distinct identity compared to the usual glass or matte finishes.</p>
<p>The back itself follows Infinix&rsquo;s Cyber Mecha 2.0 design, with geometric patterns that shift under light. Add to that a couple of thoughtful accents&mdash;a red ring around the camera module and another on the power button&mdash;and you get a phone that doesn&rsquo;t look plain from any angle.</p>
<p>The bezels on the front are also slimmer than what you&rsquo;d expect here, which makes the display feel more immersive. What makes the design functional are the shoulder triggers on the frame.</p>
<p>They&rsquo;re marketed for gaming, and yes, they work well for shooters like BGMI and CODM, but you can also assign them to everyday actions&mdash;think play/pause on YouTube or snapping photos without stretching for the on-screen shutter. The placement isn&rsquo;t perfect; I wish they sat a little lower, but they&rsquo;re still a handy addition.</p>
<p>You also get stereo speakers with clean, loud output, and on the top, an IR blaster that doubles up as a remote for TVs or ACs. At 196 grams and 7.9mm thick, the phone feels balanced in the hand&mdash;not too heavy to game with for hours, but sturdy enough that it doesn&rsquo;t feel fragile.</p>
<p>The Infinix GT 30 is available in three colours: Cyber Blue, Pulse Green, and Blade White.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix GT 30 Review: Display</strong></h3>
<p>The 6.78-inch AMOLED display is a serious highlight. With 1.5K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and 10-bit colour support, it&rsquo;s sharp, vibrant, and smooth. Protecting the display is Gorilla Glass 7i.</p>
<p>Brightness peaks at 4,500 nits, so outdoor visibility is never a struggle, even under the harshest sun. Indoors, HDR content looks rich and cinematic, and the higher refresh makes both gaming and regular scrolling feel responsive.</p>
<p>That said, the 144Hz refresh rate comes with a caveat. The phone technically supports it, but only a handful of apps can actually push the panel to 144Hz&mdash;namely Calculator, Phone, Messages, and Files by Google.</p>
<p>On the content side, YouTube playback goes up to 4K and supports HDR, which looks excellent on the panel. Netflix playback supports Widevine L1, but there&rsquo;s no HDR support on Netflix.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix GT 30 Review: Performance and gaming</strong></h3>
<p>Inside, we find the <a title="iQOO Z10R Review" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/mobiles/iqoo-z10r-review-in-5-simple-points-what-you-need-to-know-1753349773828">MediaTek Dimensity 7400</a> powering the GT 30, paired with 8GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256GB storage (UFS 2.2). It&rsquo;s not chasing any benchmark glories, but real-world use shows why Infinix went with this setup.</p>
<p>For everyday tasks&mdash;social media, web browsing, multitasking&mdash;performance is smooth and responsive. Apps open quickly, and background switching is snappy. Where the phone flexes, though, is in gaming.</p>
<p>BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile both run at 90 FPS and deliver constant frame rates. Even Genshin Impact holds steady around 40-45FPS.</p>
<p>The 5,400mm&sup2; vapour chamber cooling helps keep heat in check. After 30 minutes of gaming, the phone stays warm but never uncomfortably hot.</p>
<p>The only noticeable bottleneck is the UFS 2.2 storage&mdash;large app installs and file transfers aren&rsquo;t as quick as on pricier rivals with UFS 3.1. But for most users, that won&rsquo;t be a dealbreaker.</p>
<p>I also ran benchmarks: in AnTuTu, the phone scored 727,332 points, while in Geekbench it managed 1,067 in single-core and 3,214 in multi-core.</p>
<p>Infinix also includes its XBOOST AI interface, which brings a few gamer-focused features. There&rsquo;s an AI Magic voice changer that lets you switch your voice in-game, an Esports mode that blocks distractions and boosts CPU performance with one tap, and the option to pick from three performance modes depending on your preference.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix GT 30 Review: Battery and charging</strong></h3>
<p>Gaming phones need strong endurance, and the GT 30 delivers with a 5,500mAh battery. It comfortably lasts a day of heavy use&mdash;a mix of gaming, video streaming, and social media. With lighter use, it stretches further.</p>
<p>The bundled 45W charger takes it from 0 to 50% in about half an hour, with a full charge in around 60 minutes. A bonus is 10W reverse charging, which allows the GT 30 to double as a power bank for smaller devices. It also supports bypass charging, which is very helpful while gaming.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix GT 30 Review: Software</strong></h3>
<p>The GT 30 runs Android 15 with <a title="Infinix Hot 60 5G+ Review" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/infinix-hot-60-5g-review-smart-fast-and-surprisingly-polished-1753264810178" target="_blank">Infinix&rsquo;s</a> XOS 15 skin. The good news is that Infinix has cleaned up the interface compared to older devices. The bad news is that some preloaded apps still remain. They can be uninstalled, but the UI still doesn&rsquo;t feel as lean as stock Android.</p>
<p>On the positive side, Infinix adds useful touches. The Dynamic Bar offers iOS-style interactive notifications, while floating windows and Smart Panel shortcuts make multitasking easier. Battery management is also handled intelligently with AI-driven optimisations.</p>
<p>In terms of support, you get two years of OS updates and three years of security patches. That&rsquo;s acceptable for this segment, though three years would be nicer.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix GT 30 Review: Cameras</strong></h3>
<p>Cameras are where the GT 30 reminds you it&rsquo;s a gaming-first phone. The 64MP Sony IMX682 main sensor takes solid shots in daylight, with good detail and balanced colours. But the absence of OIS shows up in low light&mdash;images blur easily, and night shots lose sharpness.</p>
<p>The 8MP ultra-wide is serviceable but doesn&rsquo;t impress, with softer edges and muted colours. The 13MP front camera produces decent selfies in good light but struggles in dim conditions with aggressive smoothing.</p>
<p>Video is capped at 4K 30fps, with EIS handling stabilization. For casual shooters, the cameras will do the job, but they&rsquo;re not the selling point of this phone.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix GT 30 Review: Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>The Infinix GT 30 doesn&rsquo;t try to be everything for everyone&mdash;and that&rsquo;s its biggest strength. With its Mecha lights, gaming triggers, AMOLED display, and reliable performance, it&rsquo;s a device that nails the gamer-first promise in the budget category. The design is bold, the screen is excellent, and the battery life is great.</p>
<p>The weaker spots are really in the camera and software support, which may not fully satisfy someone chasing a long-term all-rounder. But if gaming, multimedia, and a bit of design flair top your list, the GT 30 is easily one of the most compelling devices under ₹20,000 right now.</p>

Discover the Poco M7 Plus – a bold budget phone with a 7,000mAh battery, smooth 144Hz display, and reliable performance. But is it better than its sibling, the Redmi 15 5G? Find out in this detailed review.

Poco M7 Plus Review: Best Budget Phone Under ₹15,000?  

<h2><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Poco M7 Plus review: A budget 5G smartphone with a 7,000mAh battery, 144Hz display, Snapdragon 6s Gen 3, and expandable storage up to 1TB. Find out if it&rsquo;s the best phone under ₹15,000 in India.</span></h2>

<p>The Poco M7 Plus has been my daily driver for over a week now, and I keep coming back to the same thought: this phone knows exactly what it wants to be.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s a capable budget device that ticks most of the right boxes&mdash;a massive 7,000mAh battery, a high refresh rate display, reliable performance, and that unmistakable Poco design language that refuses to blend in.</p>
<p>It doesn&rsquo;t try to be subtle or overly premium. Instead, it leans into a more playful, in-your-face aesthetic clearly aimed at a younger audience. After living with it for a bit, here&rsquo;s how it holds up in real life.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco M7 Plus Design: Loud, Chunky, and Very Poco</strong></h3>
<p>When I first unboxed the Poco M7 Plus, the design immediately reminded me of why Poco has managed to carve out its own identity. The back of the Poco M7 Plus feels like someone at Poco decided smartphones don&rsquo;t always need to look boring. Instead of the usual glittery or glossy back, you get a bold, almost Lego-like design language. The panel is divided into geometric blocks with contrasting color accents &mdash; a bright red frame on top bleeding into a cool blue bottom edge. It&rsquo;s loud, playful, and definitely not shy about being noticed.</p>
<p>The camera module sits tall on the left, an elongated black pill-shaped island that houses the dual cameras and LED flash. Below that, Poco&rsquo;s branding runs vertically, almost like a fashion logo placement, signaling that this phone wants to be seen as much as it wants to be used.</p>
<p>The phone is still all plastic&mdash;no fancy glass or metal here&mdash;but the matte finish does a surprisingly good job of keeping fingerprints away. At &nbsp;217 grams, it&rsquo;s not exactly light. This is a big phone, and you&rsquo;ll feel it in your pocket. But Poco has done enough with the flat sides and 8.40mm thickness to keep it manageable. The phone never felt like a brick in my hand, even after long scrolling sessions.</p>
<p>Overall, it's the kind of design you&rsquo;ll either love instantly for its unapologetic personality or find a little too experimental. Either way, it makes the M7 Plus stand out in a market where most phones are still chasing &ldquo;premium minimalism.&rdquo; This one? It&rsquo;s clearly having more fun.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco M7 Plus Display: Smooth Where It Matters</strong></h3>
<p>The front is dominated by a 6.9-inch Full HD+ LCD. Poco markets the 144Hz refresh rate heavily, and while the interface mostly runs at 120Hz, the effect is still noticeable. Scrolling through apps feels fluid, swipes register instantly, and gaming in titles that support higher refresh rates does feel smoother compared to other phones in this price range.</p>
<p>Colors are punchy and the panel is sharp enough for everyday use. Watching YouTube videos or catching up on Netflix shows is enjoyable, but there&rsquo;s a clear limitation: brightness. The screen peaks at 850 nits in high brightness mode, which is fine indoors but less convincing outdoors. Under harsh sunlight, you&rsquo;ll often find yourself angling the phone or shielding it with your hand just to make out what&rsquo;s on the display. This isn&rsquo;t unusual for a budget LCD panel, but it does limit the experience when you&rsquo;re outdoors.</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s no HDR support and you&rsquo;re capped at 1080p playback on streaming apps. In 2025, that feels like a compromise, especially since some rivals in this price bracket are now offering budget AMOLEDs with better contrast and higher peak brightness.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco M7 Plus Cameras: Nothing Surprising, Nothing Awful</strong></h3>
<p>On the back, the M7 Plus comes with a 50MP primary sensor paired with a depth sensor. The front houses an 8MP selfie shooter. And if you&rsquo;re expecting anything beyond &ldquo;it&rsquo;s fine,&rdquo; you&rsquo;ll be disappointed.</p>
<p>Daytime shots are decent. There&rsquo;s enough detail and colors don&rsquo;t look completely washed out. But low light photography is where the cracks start to show. Images soften up quickly, shadows eat into details, and you&rsquo;re left with photos that feel passable but uninspiring. The night mode helps, but only slightly&mdash;it can&rsquo;t compensate for the limitations of the hardware.</p>
<p>Selfies are usable for Instagram stories and video calls. Skin tones are sometimes off, but you can tweak them with a filter and move on. 1080p 30fps video recording is serviceable too, though don&rsquo;t expect smooth stabilization.</p>
<p>This isn&rsquo;t a phone you buy for its camera system. It&rsquo;s good enough for casual shots, but if photography matters to you, there are better options even at this price.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco M7 Plus Performance: Reliable Day to Day, Not a Gaming Beast</strong></h3>
<p>Powering the Poco M7 Plus is Qualcomm&rsquo;s Snapdragon 6s Gen 3, paired with either 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Now, 128GB feels a little cramped in 2025&mdash;especially once you start downloading a couple of big games, shooting 50MP photos, and caching videos on streaming apps. Poco should have offered a higher-storage variant out of the box.</p>
<p>The silver lining is that you do get expandable storage up to 1TB via microSD. It&rsquo;s not as fast as native UFS storage, but for photos, music, and offline files, it&rsquo;s perfectly fine and makes the base 128GB feel less restrictive.</p>
<p>Day-to-day use is smooth. Social media apps, browsing, messaging, and even light multitasking work without hiccups. Gaming is a mixed bag. Casual titles like Subway Surfers or Clash of Clans run just fine. Heavier titles like BGMI or Call of Duty Mobile are playable, but you&rsquo;ll notice frame drops after extended sessions. The phone warms up, and performance throttling kicks in, which isn&rsquo;t unexpected from a budget chip.</p>
<p>This is a processor built for efficiency and consistency, not sustained high-end performance. And for most people buying a phone under ₹15,000, that&rsquo;s enough.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco M7 Plus Software: HyperOS </strong></h3>
<p>The Poco M7 Plus ships with Xiaomi&rsquo;s HyperOS, built on Android 15. Poco is promising two major Android updates.</p>
<p>This means you can expect support up to Android 17 and four years of security patches. For a budget phone, that&rsquo;s actually a respectable commitment.</p>
<p>HyperOS itself is feature-packed. You get plenty of customization options, built-in security tools like App Lock for privacy, and a dedicated Security app that clears junk files, scans for malware, and frees up memory to keep things running smoothly.</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s also Google Gemini baked right into the OS, which is handy if you&rsquo;re already leaning into AI-powered assistance.</p>
<p>The downside is Bloatware. Out of the box, the M7 Plus comes loaded with pre-installed apps you didn&rsquo;t ask for, plus the usual mix of ads and spammy notifications that can make the experience frustrating.</p>
<p>Most of this can be disabled with a little effort, but it does take away from what is otherwise a clean and fast interface.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco M7 Plus Battery: The Star of the Show</strong></h3>
<p>If there&rsquo;s one reason to pick up the Poco M7 Plus, it&rsquo;s the battery. Poco somehow managed to squeeze a 7,000mAh cell into this slim body using silicon-carbon tech, and it delivers exactly what you&rsquo;d expect: incredible endurance.</p>
<p>I routinely ended days with over 40 percent charge still left. With lighter use, this can stretch to two full days without charging. For heavy users, you&rsquo;ll still get through a day comfortably without the constant low-battery anxiety that many midrange phones bring.</p>
<p>Charging is capped at 33W, which feels slow by today&rsquo;s standards. A full charge takes around an hour and a half. It&rsquo;s not terrible, but considering competitors like Vivo and Oppo are pushing faster charging in similar price brackets, the M7 Plus feels behind. One bonus, though, is 18W reverse charging&mdash;you can use it to juice up another phone or accessory in a pinch.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco M7 Plus Extras: The Small Things That Matter</strong></h3>
<p>The Poco M7 Plus includes a handful of features that make daily life easier:</p>
<ul>
<li>Side-mounted fingerprint scanner that&rsquo;s fast and consistent.</li>
<li>IR blaster for controlling TVs and ACs&mdash;still a uniquely Xiaomi ecosystem perk.</li>
<li>IP64 rating which protects against dust and splashes.</li>
<li>Single speaker that&rsquo;s loud enough for YouTube, though clarity isn&rsquo;t amazing. Poco&rsquo;s &ldquo;200 percent volume mode&rdquo; boosts output further, but it starts distorting at max.</li>
</ul>
<p>These aren&rsquo;t headline features, but they add up to make the phone feel more practical.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco M7 Plus Verdict: A Safe Play, Wrapped in Bold Packaging</strong></h3>
<p>After a week with the Poco M7 Plus, I can say this: it&rsquo;s a solid budget phone. It nails the essentials&mdash;battery life, smooth performance for everyday use, a big display, and a design that stands out. It doesn&rsquo;t try to reinvent anything, and maybe that&rsquo;s fine.</p>
<p>The cameras are average, the charging speed feels behind the curve, and the display struggles outdoors. But for the price, none of these are deal breakers. The phone feels dependable, and that&rsquo;s worth a lot in this segment.</p>

Looking for a feature-packed budget phone? The Infinix Hot 60i offers a 50MP camera, 6000mAh battery, 120Hz display, and a premium design under ₹10K. Read our in-depth review to see if it’s worth your money!

Infinix Hot 60i Review: Budget Phone With 50MP Camera, 6000mAh Battery & 120Hz Display

<h2>The Infinix Hot 60i brings a 50MP camera, big battery, and smooth 120Hz display to the budget segment. Find out if it&rsquo;s the best value buy under ₹10K in our review.</h2>

<p>Infinix has been steadily making waves in the budget smartphone market, and the Hot 60i is their latest contender.</p>
<p>With a competitive price of ₹9,299, this phone packs in some impressive features like a 50MP camera, a massive 6000mAh battery, and a sleek design that rivals phones at a higher price point.</p>
<p>But does this phone really deliver everything you need, or is it just another face in the crowd of budget options? Let&rsquo;s find out.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Hot 60i Review: Design</strong></h3>
<p>When it comes to design, the <a title="Infinix Hot 60 5G+ Review" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/infinix-hot-60-5g-review-smart-fast-and-surprisingly-polished-1753264810178" target="_blank">Infinix </a>Hot 60i manages to stand out in the crowded budget segment. Right away, the phone gives off a vibe that feels both fresh and unexpectedly premium for its price. The matte plastic back panel looks sharp, but more importantly, it keeps annoying fingerprints at bay, making the phone easy to keep clean even after a day of heavy use.</p>
<p>A closer look might remind you of certain high-end devices&mdash;the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, for example, seems to have inspired some of the Hot 60i&rsquo;s style cues. This resemblance works in Infinix&rsquo;s favour, giving the phone a sense of modernity and class that&rsquo;s rare at this price. The phone is slim enough to fit nicely in your hand, and at just 199g, it doesn&rsquo;t feel heavy or awkward to use for long periods.</p>
<p>Colour choices are another win here. The Hot 60i comes in four different shades: Sleek Black, Shadow Blue, Monsoon Green, and Plum Red. Each option has a subtle charm, so there&rsquo;s something for everyone. What&rsquo;s genuinely impressive is the IP64 dust and water resistance rating&mdash;a feature you&rsquo;d usually expect on phones that cost much more. This means it can easily shrug off minor spills and splashes, making it a good choice for everyday life.</p>
<p>Practical details aren&rsquo;t ignored either. There&rsquo;s a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that&rsquo;s fast and reliable, giving you quick access to your phone with a natural grip. You also get a mono speaker at the top for calls and media, plus a headphone jack at the bottom&mdash;a must-have for anyone not ready to let go of their favourite wired headphones.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Hot 60i Review: Display</strong></h3>
<p>The Hot 60i comes with a big 6.75-inch HD+ LCD display, and what really stands out is the 120Hz refresh rate. That smooth scrolling and swiping experience gives the phone a premium feel, making day-to-day tasks like browsing and flipping through photos noticeably better. For a budget device, this is definitely a standout feature.</p>
<p>However, it&rsquo;s not all perfect. The display resolution is just HD+, which means you&rsquo;re not getting the sharpest details or the most vibrant colours. It&rsquo;s decent for watching videos or checking social feeds, but those used to higher-resolution screens might notice the difference. Still, for this price range, it&rsquo;s a reasonable trade-off.</p>
<p>On the plus side, brightness levels are pretty solid. With a typical 560 nits and peak brightness of 670 nits, outdoor visibility is quite good unless you&rsquo;re directly under the midday sun. One aspect that&rsquo;s starting to feel a bit outdated in 2025 is the waterdrop notch. While this was once common in budget phones, a punch-hole design would have made the display look a lot more modern and up to date.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Hot 60i Review: Performance</strong></h3>
<p>Performance is an area where the Infinix Hot 60i comfortably holds its own. Under the hood, you get a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM. For basic, everyday tasks like browsing, video streaming, social media, and even some light multitasking, the phone handles everything smoothly. Apps open without much delay, and the overall responsiveness is perfectly fine for casual users.</p>
<p>When it comes to gaming, this isn&rsquo;t the phone for heavy hitters, but lighter games run well and you can manage a session of Call of Duty Mobile on lower settings. The phone is clearly built for users who spend more time on WhatsApp, YouTube, and Instagram than on graphic-intensive gaming, and for that crowd, it&rsquo;s a solid performer.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Hot 60i Review: Cameras</strong></h3>
<p><a title="Vivo V60 First Look" href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/vivo-v60-first-look-is-this-2025-s-flagship-killer-1754912891557" target="_blank">Cameras</a> on budget phones are always a bit of a mixed bag, and the Hot 60i is no exception. On paper, the 50MP main sensor paired with a 2MP depth sensor looks promising. In daylight, the main camera does a respectable job, with photos showing good detail and mostly accurate colours. It&rsquo;s a reliable setup for casual snapshots and sharing on social media.</p>
<p>Low light is where the limitations show&mdash;images quickly lose sharpness and gain noise, which is expected at this price. The 5MP front-facing camera is decent for selfies in bright settings but doesn&rsquo;t offer the best results in dim lighting. For video, you get up to 2K/30fps recording on both the front and back cameras. It&rsquo;s a cool feature for casual creators, but the footage isn&rsquo;t on par with higher-end models.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Hot 60i Review: Battery</strong></h3>
<p>Battery life is hands down one of the Hot 60i&rsquo;s biggest selling points. With a giant 6000mAh cell inside, you&rsquo;re easily getting through a full day and probably well into the next with moderate usage. Whether you&rsquo;re streaming, browsing, or taking lots of calls, running out of juice is the last thing you&rsquo;ll worry about.</p>
<p>Charging is handled by 18W fast charging. It&rsquo;s not the fastest out there, but for a phone in this segment, a full top-up in around an hour and a half is totally reasonable. The reverse charging feature is another handy extra&mdash;it lets you use the Hot 60i as a backup power bank in a pinch, which could be a lifesaver if your other gadgets run low.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Hot 60i Review: Software</strong></h3>
<p>The Hot 60i runs on XOS 15.1, built over Android 15. The software feels clean and responsive, with only a handful of pre-installed apps and bloatware, most of which you can remove. There are a few genuinely useful AI tools on board as well, including Circle Search for quick info lookups, AI Eraser for simple photo edits, and AI Extender to boost multitasking. These little touches help the phone feel smarter and more flexible for everyday needs.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Hot 60i Review: Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>When you add it all up, the Infinix Hot 60i delivers a lot for its price. The design feels fresh, the performance is more than enough for everyday tasks, and that massive battery is an absolute highlight. Sure, the cameras and display have their limitations, but for ₹9,299, you&rsquo;re getting a sleek, capable smartphone with impressive stamina. If you&rsquo;re after a dependable, budget-friendly device that covers all the basics without feeling cheap, the Hot 60i is definitely worth a look.</p>

Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses India Review: Fashion Meets AI Tech

<h3><strong>Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses mix classic looks with AI smarts and hands-free capture, but fall short on battery life, dust resistance, and platform freedom. Worth it for creators, not all users.</strong></h3>

<p>The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses launched in India in May, priced between ₹29,900 and ₹35,700 depending on the frame and lens combination.&nbsp;</p>
<p>They may not be light on the pocket, but they certainly pack a lot inside. These aren&rsquo;t just regular shades &mdash; they&rsquo;re a wearable that blends eyewear design with discreet tech, promising hands-free photos, video recording, music playback, calls, and even an AI assistant.</p>
<p>So, are they worth the hype? Let&rsquo;s break it down.</p>
<h2><strong>Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Review: What Can They Do</strong></h2>
<p>At first glance, they pass for a standard pair of Ray-Bans. Look closer, and you&rsquo;ll spot the hidden tech: a 12MP camera tucked neatly in the frame, a tiny LED that glows while recording, and touch controls built into the arms. The glasses also house open-ear speakers and five microphones, which means they can double up as your everyday headphones and calling device.</p>
<p>The companion Meta AI app acts as the control hub, letting you view, manage, and share what you&rsquo;ve captured. Uploading to Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp takes seconds, and you can even livestream directly to Meta platforms with a simple double-tap on the frame.</p>
<p>Beyond content capture, Meta&rsquo;s AI integration gives these glasses another dimension. With a simple &ldquo;Hey Meta,&rdquo; you can snap photos, translate text, identify objects, or pull up information about landmarks &mdash; essentially putting a voice-activated assistant right into your eyewear.</p>
<p>On the audio side, the directional speakers keep sound surprisingly crisp and minimize leakage, while the open-ear design ensures you stay aware of your surroundings. Whether it&rsquo;s podcasts, playlists, or calls, the experience feels much better than you&rsquo;d expect from something that doesn&rsquo;t cover your ears.</p>
<h2><strong>Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Review: Why I Like It</strong></h2>
<p>The biggest win here is how natural they feel. Unlike chunky AR headsets or obvious wearables, these really do look like a stylish pair of Ray-Bans. I wore them around Delhi and no one gave them a second look &mdash; which is exactly what you want from something designed to blend in.</p>
<p>I also loved how simple the setup was. Out of the box, they paired with my iPhone in minutes and were ready to go. The touch controls are intuitive, the charging case feels premium, and the quick-charge support means you don&rsquo;t spend hours waiting for them to power back up.</p>
<p>For casual creators and travelers, the camera is more fun than functional &mdash; not replacing your phone, but making it effortless to capture a moment without pulling anything out of your pocket. Add in Meta AI&rsquo;s handy tricks and genuinely solid audio for music and calls, and you&rsquo;ve got a device that feels like more than just a novelty.</p>
<h2><strong>Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Review: What Could Be Better</strong></h2>
<p>Of course, they&rsquo;re not perfect. Battery life is the Achilles&rsquo; heel. With light use, you&rsquo;ll get about five to six hours, but heavy recording or long listening sessions bring that down quickly. You can stretch it with the case, but power users may find themselves topping up more than they&rsquo;d like.</p>
<p>Durability is another concern. The IPX4 rating means they&rsquo;ll survive a drizzle but not the dust and grit of everyday city life. In a place like Delhi, that&rsquo;s hard to ignore.</p>
<p>Then there&rsquo;s privacy. The recording LED is subtle to the point of invisible, especially in bright daylight, and can even be covered. That raises questions about how transparent this device really is in public spaces.</p>
<p>Finally, Meta&rsquo;s walled garden approach keeps livestreaming locked to Instagram and Facebook. If you&rsquo;re hoping to broadcast directly to YouTube or Twitch, you&rsquo;re out of luck. It&rsquo;s a missed opportunity for creators who prefer more open platforms.</p>
<h2><strong>Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Review: Verdict</strong></h2>
<p>The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses sit in a unique spot. They&rsquo;re stylish, surprisingly capable, and a lot of fun to use. But they also come with caveats around battery life, durability, and platform lock-in.</p>
<p>If you live inside Instagram Stories, love the idea of hands-free capture, or want a fashionable pair of glasses that double as AI-powered headphones, these make a strong case. Just don&rsquo;t expect them to replace your smartphone camera &mdash; or last all day without a recharge.</p>
