ASUS’ ExpertBook P1 is built for business, offering a clean design, strong security, and reliable performance. But does it hold its ground in a premium-packed laptop market?

Asus ExpertBook P1 (2025) Review: Strictly for grown-ups

<p>The ASUS ExpertBook P1 is a serious business laptop with a clean design, strong performance, and enterprise-focused features. It&rsquo;s built for work, not play &mdash; but in 2025&rsquo;s competitive market, it&rsquo;s up against some tough rivals.</p>

<p>The ASUS ExpertBook P1 is what happens when a laptop decides to suit up and step into a boardroom. It&rsquo;s clearly built with business in mind &mdash; clean, no-nonsense, and a little bit serious in that very "corporate" sort of way. Like most business laptops, it gets a few office essentials right, but also makes some unexpected choices on the fundamentals.</p>
<p>But priced at ₹74,990 (for the variant we tested) it raises a pretty big question &mdash; can it really justify that price tag in a world where the MacBook Air M4 exists?</p>
<h3><strong>Design</strong></h3>
<p>Let&rsquo;s start with design &mdash; the ExpertBook P1 doesn&rsquo;t try too hard. It&rsquo;s clean, minimal, and built like it actually wants to show up to work on time. The body&rsquo;s basically made of plastic, but the matte finish does a solid job keeping fingerprints off.</p>
<p>The laptop weighs about 1.4 kilos and is 19.7mm thick. Not ultra-slim by any stretch, but light enough to carry around without feeling like you&rsquo;re lugging bricks. It&rsquo;s also MIL-STD-810H certified, which is a fancy way of saying it can survive some serious knocks and bumps that are a part of daily life.</p>
<p>Visually, I actually think it looks pretty modern and understated &mdash; except for those bezels. They&rsquo;re chunky. Like, can&rsquo;t-miss-it chunky.</p>
<p>Everything else feels solid though. The keyboard deck barely flexes, and the hinge opens up fully flat &mdash; which is great when you&rsquo;re working side-by-side with someone and need to quickly show your screen without weird angles.</p>
<p>Ports? You&rsquo;ve got your 2 USB-A ports, two USB-Cs with charging and display support, HDMI 1.4, a headphone jack, and even a full-size Ethernet port.</p>
<p>So no, it&rsquo;s not breaking new ground in design &mdash; but it&rsquo;s sturdy, it&rsquo;s clean, and it absolutely gets the job done.</p>
<h3><strong>Keyboard and Trackpad</strong></h3>
<p>The ExpertBook P1&rsquo;s keyboard is okay at best. It&rsquo;s got chiclet-style keys, in a tenkeyless layout with backlighting. The keys have 1.35mm travel, but feel mushy and not very tactile. ASUS usually nails keyboards, so this one&rsquo;s a bit of a letdown. It is spill-resistant though, so that&rsquo;s something.</p>
<p>The trackpad does the job &mdash; it is responsive and accurate enough for daily tasks &mdash; but it&rsquo;s a little too small for my liking. Nothing deal-breaking, just not the most comfortable if you&rsquo;re used to larger trackpads.</p>
<h3><strong>Display</strong></h3>
<p>The display on the ExpertBook P1 is another mixed bag. You&rsquo;re getting a 14-inch Full HD, non-touch panel with 300 nits of brightness. This is alright for indoors, but it's nothing too impressive.</p>
<p>What really throws me off is the 16:9 aspect ratio. In 2025, that&rsquo;s ancient. Most laptops have moved to 16:10. I did feel the missing real estate when working on docs, scrolling through spreadsheets, and during split-screen multitasking.</p>
<p>That said, it&rsquo;s not all bad. Viewing angles are solid, and the anti-glare coating works better than I expected.</p>
<p>Colour reproduction is decent for day-to-day stuff &mdash; YouTube, light content, that sort of thing. But if you&rsquo;re planning to binge-watch your favourite shows or dive into some serious media consumption, it won&rsquo;t exactly be an enjoyable experience.</p>
<h3><strong>Webcam &amp; Speakers</strong></h3>
<p>Moving to the webcam, the ExpertBook P1 comes with a 720p webcam, which honestly feels ancient in 2025.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s just about passable for Zoom or Teams calls, but only if you&rsquo;ve got decent lighting. Image quality is soft, details are fuzzy, and in low light, it really falls apart.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Honestly, you&rsquo;re better off using your phone&rsquo;s selfie cam or a proper external webcam.</p>
<p>As for the speakers, they&rsquo;re bottom-firing and tucked near the sides. They&rsquo;re fine for the usual video calls or a quick YouTube break, but don&rsquo;t expect anything beyond that.&nbsp;</p>
<p>They don&rsquo;t get very loud, and there&rsquo;s barely any separation between vocals and background audio. ASUS says they&rsquo;re tuned by Dirac, but to me, they sound average at best. Good enough for work &mdash; but not your go-to for music or movie nights.</p>
<p>So far, the ExpertBook P1 hasn&rsquo;t been that impressive, right?</p>
<h3><strong>Performance</strong></h3>
<p>It&rsquo;s only when you look under the hood that the ExpertBook P1 starts to make sense.</p>
<p>Our unit came with an Intel Core i7-13620H, 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 5200MT/s, and 512GB of PCIe 4.0 storage. What&rsquo;s great is that the RAM and storage are both upgradable. You can upgrade to 64GB RAM and even run dual SSDs in RAID, which is super handy if you&rsquo;re dealing with big files or sensitive data.</p>
<p>Now, the 13620H isn&rsquo;t Intel&rsquo;s latest and greatest chip, so don&rsquo;t expect record-breaking benchmarks. But honestly? It performs really well. I had over 30 Chrome tabs open, a few spreadsheets, some documents &mdash; no lag, no stutter. Just smooth, stable performance across the board.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re looking to do graphic-heavy work or AI stuff though, that&rsquo;s where this laptop hits its limits. There&rsquo;s no dedicated GPU or onboard NPU, so creative workflows and AI tasks aren&rsquo;t really its thing. But for everyday use? It holds its own.</p>
<p>The laptop does get a bit warm &mdash; especially around the top of the keyboard when you&rsquo;re pushing it hard. You can manage the fan speed using the MyASUS app, but do keep in mind the fans do get audible.</p>
<p>Now, ASUS has packed in something called AI ExpertMeet, and it&rsquo;s actually useful. It does real-time translations during meetings, and can even give you full transcripts, after identifying the different speakers. It can also generate minutes of the meeting, create agendas, and generate notes based on what was discussed.</p>
<p>You can also show a digital business card on screen during calls. Plus, if you&rsquo;re sharing your screen during a meeting, it slaps on a watermark to keep things protected against prying eyes.</p>
<p>Pair all of that with Microsoft&rsquo;s Copilot tools, and you&rsquo;ve got a solid productivity setup.</p>
<p>Security-wise, this machine&rsquo;s actually pretty stacked. You&rsquo;ve got a fingerprint scanner for easy logins, but the real protection comes from the TPM 2.0 chip, which basically is a hardware-level security module that stores passwords, encryption keys, and other sensitive info separately from the rest of the system.</p>
<p>The laptop also meets a few BIOS integrity guidelines, so it can detect if someone&rsquo;s tampered with your firmware and recover your settings. And since the laptop is Windows Secured-core certified, all of this is enabled straight out of the box.</p>
<h3><strong>Battery</strong></h3>
<p>Battery life is another crucial area for business laptops. The ExpertBook P1 again gets a good grade with its a 50Wh, 3-cell battery. I could easily get through a full workday before charging it.</p>
<p>But when I did need to top it up, charging was surprisingly quick with the included 65W USB-C charger. The laptop went from 0 to 100% in just under an hour, which is pretty solid.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>The ASUS ExpertBook P1 does it best to check the right boxes for business users &mdash; clean design, functional layout, and a no-fuss approach. It&rsquo;s got a sturdy design, decent performance for everyday tasks, and enough ports to keep most professionals happy.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The base version of the P1, starts ₹39,990, which may seem tempting. But, you only get an Intel i3 and 8 gigs of RAM.</p>
<p>At ₹74,990, for the Intel i7-13620H variant we tested, it&rsquo;s a tough sell. The new M4 MacBook Air, for instance, offers a more polished experience across the board. And even within the Windows ecosystem, there are plenty of compelling options &mdash; including some with dedicated GPUs and NPUs &mdash; many of them from ASUS&rsquo; lineup.</p>

Explore the iQOO Z10, India’s largest smartphone battery phone with 7,300mAh, 90W fast charging, and Snapdragon 7s Gen 3—offering sleek design, strong performance, and unbeatable value starting under ₹20,000.

iQOO Z10 First Look: Check price, features and more

<h2>The new iQOO Z10 is packing some insane features! A massive 7,300mAh battery, 90W fast charging, a crazy bright quad-curved AMOLED display, and the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset&mdash;all at an aggressive price. But does it live up to the hype?</h2>

<p>How much battery is too much battery for a smartphone? 5,000mAh? Nah. 5,500? Not even close. 6,500? Try harder. This is the new iQOO Z10&mdash; and apparently, 7,300mAh is the new benchmark.</p>
<h3><strong>iQOO Z10 Battery &amp; Charging</strong></h3>
<p>This thing packs the biggest smartphone battery in India, which basically means you can forget about carrying a power bank ever again. But you&rsquo;re probably wondering&mdash;what does a 7,300mAh battery actually do for you?</p>
<p>Well, to give you a rough idea, you can binge-watch your favourite shows for up to 35 hours, game for around 15 hours, and even record videos for up to 8.5 hours. That&rsquo;s a lot of screen time.</p>
<p>Now, full disclosure&mdash;we still have to do a full battery test since we&rsquo;ve only had the device for a limited time. But honestly, we&rsquo;d be genuinely surprised if it didn't last more than two days with medium to heavy use.</p>
<h3><strong>iQOO Z10 Design &amp; Build</strong></h3>
<p>What&rsquo;s even crazier is that iQOO has somehow crammed this massive battery into a 7.89mm frame while keeping the weight under 200g. That&rsquo;s some serious engineering flex.</p>
<p>The phone supports 90W fast charging, and the charger comes in the box. It can take you from 0 to 50 percent in just over 30 minutes.</p>
<p>As for aesthetics, the Z10 comes in two colours: Stellar Black and this Glacier Silver variant. It has a matte finish, which not only helps with grip and resists smudges but also adds a premium sheen. Plus, when you tilt it in your hand, it creates these subtle wavy patterns, which look pretty cool.</p>
<p>On the back, there&rsquo;s a large circular camera module housing two lenses, surrounded by a silver ring. It&rsquo;s a clean design, though nothing we haven&rsquo;t seen before. The module does stick out a bit, but since it&rsquo;s centrally placed, the phone doesn&rsquo;t wobble much when placed on a flat surface. And just to clarify, the back isn&rsquo;t glass&mdash;it&rsquo;s plastic, just like the frame.</p>
<p>Now, about how it feels in the hand&hellip;Despite packing a massive battery, the phone feels shockingly light - it's not at all bulky like you&rsquo;d expect from a phone with this kind of power pack. The slim build also means it&rsquo;s thin enough to hold comfortably, even with one hand.</p>
<p>That said, it&rsquo;s a tall phone&mdash;so if you have smaller hands, reaching the top of the screen might require some finger gymnastics. But overall, it&rsquo;s well-balanced, and the curved edges make it nice to grip without feeling boxy.</p>
<h3><strong>iQOO Z10 Display</strong></h3>
<p>The local peak brightness is a staggering 5,000 nits. That&rsquo;s ridiculously bright&mdash;probably brighter than anything else in this price range. Even outdoors in harsh sunlight, you won&rsquo;t have any issues viewing content.</p>
<p>And because it&rsquo;s quad-curved, the display flows into the frame, making swipes and gestures feel smoother.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>iQOO Z10 Performance</strong></h3>
<p>The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 &nbsp;powering this phone isn&rsquo;t completely new&mdash;we&rsquo;ve seen this same chipset on devices like the Nothing Phone 3a series, Realme P3 Pro, and Realme 14 Pro+.</p>
<p>But all those phones cost between ₹25,000 and ₹30,000. Meanwhile, The iQOO Z10 comes with a starting price of ₹21,999 for the variant featuring 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The models with 8GB RAM + 256GB storage and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage are available for ₹23,999 and ₹25,999, respectively.</p>
<p>iQOO is also calling this the Fastest Smartphone in the Segment, and they&rsquo;re backing it up with an AnTuTu score of over 8.2 lakhs. And yeah, that checks out in our own testing as well.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>A battery that might outlast your weekend, a sleek design that doesn&rsquo;t feel bulky, a crazy bright display, solid performance with a very decent chipset, and 90W fast charging to keep you going.</p>
<p>If this thing delivers on its promises, it might just be the new battery king in the mid budget segment. I also think it could be a great option for students who attend a lot of online classes and even for teachers who conduct them.</p>

Discover the Vivo V50e — a stylish mid-range smartphone offering smooth performance, a vibrant quad-curved AMOLED display, powerful 50MP selfie camera, and long-lasting battery life, all at an attractive price point.

Vivo V50e Review: Best phone under Rs 30,000?

<h2>The Vivo V50e is a sleek mid-range phone with a stunning display, reliable performance, excellent battery life, and one of the best selfie cameras in its class &mdash; all packed in a lightweight body with IP68/69 rating and fast 90W charging.</h2>

<p>There&rsquo;s something oddly comforting about Vivo&rsquo;s mid range V-series phones. They don&rsquo;t chase clout like flagships, but they also don&rsquo;t settle like budget phones. They just&hellip; exist, in that sweet space space where good design, decent specs, and a few fun features meet.</p>
<p>The Vivo V50e is the latest in that tradition with a starting price of Rs 28,999. It&rsquo;s shiny (literally), slim, and packed with enough tricks to keep most users happy &mdash; even if it plays it a little safe in some departments.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V50e: Design &amp; Display</strong></h3>
<p>The Vivo V50e comes in two shades &mdash; Sapphire Blue, if you like your phones loud, and Pearl White, if you like them looking like they moisturise twice a day. &nbsp;I got the Pearl White, and it's giving shimmer without going full glitter bomb &mdash; subtle, sleek, and just a little bit extra.</p>
<p>And yes, that camera module is back. You know the one &mdash; the bottle-opener-style design that Vivo&rsquo;s been running with since the V40 Pro and the T3 Ultra. It&rsquo;s different and it weirdly works. Two big camera lenses sit inside and just below that, you get the Aura ring light. Think of it as a built-in beauty light for your face &mdash; because why not?</p>
<p>Now, the phone is entirely plastic, but let&rsquo;s not be snobs. It doesn&rsquo;t feel cheap. There&rsquo;s a soft matte texture that actually makes it feel more premium than some glass backs trying too hard. The back does pick up some fingerprint smudges but they are hard to spot most of the time.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s also 7.4mm thin and 186 grams, even with a massive 6,500mAh battery inside. That&rsquo;s borderline witchcraft. It feels super light, well-balanced, and sits in the hand like it&rsquo;s made to be scrolled endlessly on.</p>
<p>Ports and buttons are where you&rsquo;d expect &mdash; volume and power on the right, USB-C at the bottom, SIM tray, and yes, stereo speakers. It comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, which means it can survive dust, a dunk in water.</p>
<p>And then there&rsquo;s the screen. Oh boy. This is a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It&rsquo;s delightfully extra. Colours are bold but not cartoonish, blacks are OLED-deep, and everything &mdash; from doomscrolling to gaming &mdash; feels absurdly smooth.</p>
<p>The display hits 1,800 nits in High Brightness Mode, which means you can read your texts even under peak summer sun. Also, the quad-curved edges don&rsquo;t just look slick &mdash; they make the screen feel almost endless.</p>
<p>But thankfully, Vivo&rsquo;s software knows what&rsquo;s up: accidental touches are rare, so you&rsquo;re not rage-quitting games because your pinky brushed the curve.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V50e: Performance</strong></h3>
<p>Under the hood, the Vivo V50e runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset &mdash; a 4nm octa-core processor paired with a Mali-G615 GPU. You get 8GB of RAM across the board and a choice between 128GB or 256GB of storage, depending on how many blurry photos and unused apps you&rsquo;re hoarding.</p>
<p>Now, let&rsquo;s be real &mdash; this isn&rsquo;t the fastest chip in the segment. The benchmark numbers are decent, not jaw-dropping: 6,82,234 on AnTuTu, 1,031 in Geekbench single-core, and 2,978 in multi-core. So no, it won&rsquo;t win a drag race but it doesn&rsquo;t need to.</p>
<p>In real-world use, the V50e holds its own. It&rsquo;s smooth, responsive, and lag-free for the most part. Apps open fast, switching between them feels natural, and casual gaming is totally doable. I played a few rounds of BGMI at 60fps, and it held up impressively &mdash; no stutter, no overheating, just solid gameplay. Even Genshin Impact ran fairly well at medium settings, though you might hit the occasional hiccup when things get too magical.</p>
<p>What&rsquo;s surprising is how cool this phone stays &mdash; even after a gaming session or camera binge, it doesn&rsquo;t turn into a pocket toaster. So, while it's not built for heavy-duty mobile editing or marathon gaming, it&rsquo;ll glide through your daily scrolls, swipes, and reels just fine.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V50e: Software</strong></h3>
<p>The Vivo V50e runs FunTouchOS 15, layered on top of Android 15, which sounds promising &mdash; but don&rsquo;t get your hopes up for a Pixel-like experience. If you&rsquo;ve used a Vivo phone in the past year, this will feel very familiar. Maybe too familiar.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s not the cleanest UI around &mdash; bloatware still lives rent-free here, with a bunch of pre-installed apps that you&rsquo;ll probably spend your first 10 minutes uninstalling. But once you&rsquo;re past that, there&rsquo;s a lot to play with.</p>
<p>You get a fair amount of customisation options (themes, animations, widgets &mdash; the usual suspects) and some handy AI features like object remover in photos, instant translation, voice transcription, and Circle to Search. Overall, it&rsquo;s snappy, doesn&rsquo;t lag, and while it&rsquo;s not stock Android, it at least feels modern and light on its feet.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V50e: Cameras</strong></h3>
<p>The Vivo V50e keeps things straightforward with a dual-camera setup on the back: a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide, all wrapped in that stylish &ldquo;bottle opener&rdquo; module with the upgraded Aura Light 2. For selfies, you get a 50MP front camera with autofocus, and yes, it&rsquo;s every bit as good as it sounds.</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s start with the rear. Photos from the main sensor come out sharp, vibrant, and very Instagram-ready. Vivo&rsquo;s default &ldquo;Vivid&rdquo; mode punches up the colors a little &mdash; skies are bluer, trees are greener, and your food pics might look better than the actual food. If you prefer things less extra, switch to &ldquo;Natural&rdquo; mode and enjoy a more realistic color palette.</p>
<p>HDR is excellent, especially outdoors. It brings out detail in both skies and shadows without blowing out highlights. Indoors though, it&rsquo;s more of a mixed bag &mdash; photos are still usable, just not quite as punchy.</p>
<p>You also get Sony&rsquo;s Multifocal Pro Portrait system which includes three focal lengths to play with &mdash; 1x (26mm), 1.5x (39mm), and 2x (52mm). There&rsquo;s no dedicated telephoto lens, so it&rsquo;s all digital zoom magic, but it works surprisingly well.</p>
<p>Portraits look great, with crisp edge detection and pleasing bokeh.</p>
<p>Vivo&rsquo;s Aura Light adds a nice glow to low-light portraits, though in my testing, it&rsquo;s still no match for a proper flash. Night mode, however, is impressive &mdash; it lifts shadows, adds detail, and doesn&rsquo;t go overboard with the brightening.</p>
<p>The 8MP ultra-wide is decent for landscapes and group shots, though it tends to lose sharpness and color accuracy when the lights dim.</p>
<p>Now, let&rsquo;s talk about that front camera, because it honestly steals the show. The 50MP selfie cam with autofocus is one of the best I&rsquo;ve seen at this price point.</p>
<p>Selfies come out sharp, natural-looking, and most importantly, not overly smoothed &mdash; a rare win in this age of default beauty filters.</p>
<p>Of course, this is a Vivo phone, so expect a buffet of features and filters. There&rsquo;s even an India-exclusive Wedding Portrait Studio mode &mdash; three cinematic LUTs designed to give your shots that Bollywood romance vibe. It&rsquo;s fun, if a bit gimmicky, and honestly feels like something you&rsquo;d find on Instagram, but hey, it&rsquo;s there if you need it.</p>
<p>Video-wise, both the front and rear cameras support 4K at 30fps. Footage is mostly clean, though panning shots can be jittery, and contrast-heavy scenes sometimes throw the exposure off. It&rsquo;s good enough for casual vlogging, just don&rsquo;t expect cinema-grade results.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V50e: Battery &amp; Charging</strong></h3>
<p>The Vivo V50e comes with a 5,600mAh battery, which is only a modest bump over the V40e, but the real story here is the optimisation. Vivo&rsquo;s clearly been working overtime on power efficiency, and the numbers prove it. In the PCMark battery test, the phone clocked in just under 17 hours &mdash; solid, marathon-level endurance.</p>
<p>In real life, it&rsquo;s just as impressive. With a mix of calls, Netflix, Instagram scrolling, casual gaming, and a few camera sessions, the V50e comfortably cruised through a day and a half without begging for a charger.</p>
<p>Even better &mdash; during a 30-minute YouTube binge, the battery dropped just 2%. &nbsp;So, watching cat videos clearly doesn&rsquo;t come at a cost anymore.Charging speeds are fast enough to not be a nuisance. Thanks to 90W wired charging, the V50e goes from zero to full in about 52 minutes. Not quite warp-speed, but definitely quick enough for most people.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V50e Review: Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>The Vivo V50e isn&rsquo;t a spec monster, and it doesn&rsquo;t try to be. What it is, though, is a well-balanced phone with a great display, solid battery life, and arguably one of the best selfie cameras in this segment.</p>
<p>The design feels premium, the performance is more than capable for daily tasks and casual gaming, and while the software still brings along some bloat, the experience is smooth enough to forgive. Just don&rsquo;t expect flagship-level performance, and you&rsquo;ll walk away pretty happy.<br><br><strong>Also Watch: <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/mobiles/vivo-v50e-the-camera-centric-mid-range-beast-you-can-t-miss-1743507976357">Vivo V50e: The camera-centric mid-range beast you can&rsquo;t miss!</a></strong></p>

Samsung’s new Odyssey OLED G8 monitor delivers 4K resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, ultra-fast 0.03ms response time, and advanced OLED burn-in protection. Designed for serious gamers and professionals, it combines premium visuals with high-performance 

Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 4K 240Hz gaming monitor launched in India

<p>Samsung&rsquo;s Odyssey OLED G8 isn&rsquo;t here to play&mdash;it&rsquo;s packing a 4K@240Hz panel, has near-instant response times, and wild anti-burn tech. Whether you're gaming hard or bingeing Netflix, this monitor&rsquo;s built to blow your eyeballs (and expectations) away.</p>

<p>Samsung&rsquo;s latest gaming monitor isn&rsquo;t just flexing specs&mdash;it&rsquo;s chasing firsts. The Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF) claims the title of the world&rsquo;s first 4K OLED monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, and it&rsquo;s not messing around. With blazing-fast response times, Quantum Dot colour, and advanced anti-burn-in tech, this thing looks like it was built for gamers who don&rsquo;t do compromises.</p>
<h3><strong>Two sizes, one goal: Ridiculous clarity</strong></h3>
<p>The monitor comes in 27-inch and 32-inch sizes, but the 27-inch model steals the show with a pixel density of 166 PPI&mdash;which is, frankly, ridiculous. Everything from fast-paced FPS titles to text looks razor-sharp, and the Quantum Dot OLED panel delivers punchy colours, ultra-deep blacks, and excellent viewing angles.</p>
<p>Add VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 into the mix, and you&rsquo;re getting inky shadows and contrast that doesn&rsquo;t need dimmed lights to pop.</p>
<h3><strong>Built-in burn-in protection</strong></h3>
<p>OLED burn-in is a legit concern, but Samsung&rsquo;s taking it head-on with its new OLED Safeguard+ and Dynamic Cooling System. The star here is a Pulsating Heat Pipe&mdash;something we&rsquo;ve seen in smartphones and gaming laptops, but never in a monitor. It helps manage heat without throttling brightness, extending panel life without sacrificing image quality.</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s also a Glare-Free coating certified by Underwriters Laboratories, cutting down on reflectivity by 56% for distraction-free sessions&mdash;whether you&rsquo;re gaming, editing, or just doomscrolling.</p>
<h3><strong>Performance specs that actually matter</strong></h3>
<p>On the gaming side, it&rsquo;s loaded:</p>
<ul>
<li>240Hz refresh rate</li>
<li>0.03ms response time</li>
<li>FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC support</li>
</ul>
<p>Smooth gameplay, minimal latency, and no ghosting. It&rsquo;s everything you&rsquo;d want for high-stakes multiplayer or buttery-smooth single-player campaigns.</p>
<h3><strong>Design, price, and the bottom line</strong></h3>
<p>The Odyssey OLED G8 has a premium vibe: metal chassis, Core Lighting+, and an ergonomic stand. It&rsquo;s meant to stand out, whether on a minimalist desk or a full-blown battle station.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s what it&rsquo;ll cost you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Odyssey OLED G8 27&Prime; (G81SF): ₹91,299</li>
<li>Odyssey OLED G8 32&Prime; (G81SF): ₹1,18,999</li>
</ul>
<p>Whether you&rsquo;re chasing frame-perfect flicks or just want your games to look absurdly good, this monitor brings the heat&mdash;no hype needed.</p>

Discover the Samsung Odyssey 3D G90XF: a 27-inch 4K monitor offering 3D gaming and video without glasses. Featuring eye-tracking, AI-powered 3D conversion, and premium specs, it’s an immersive experience for $1,700.

Samsung Odyssey 3D Monitor First Impressions: Check price, features & more

<h2>Samsung&rsquo;s Odyssey 3D G90XF is a 27-inch 4K monitor that brings 2D content to life in 3D with no glasses required, using eye-tracking and AI. With a 165Hz refresh rate, it's set to revolutionize gaming and video experiences. Priced at $1,700.</h2>

<p>Samsung just dropped what might be its most insane monitor ever &mdash; meet the Odyssey 3D G90XF, a 27-inch, 4K display that doesn&rsquo;t just push pixels, it literally brings them to life in 3D. And the best part? No glasses required.</p>
<h3><strong>3D gaming, no glasses, no gimmicks</strong></h3>
<p>At first glance, it&rsquo;s already impressive &mdash; a 4K panel, 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and AMD FreeSync support make it a top-tier gaming monitor. But the real magic lies in what Samsung calls Reality Hub &mdash; an eye-tracking and AI-powered system that turns regular 2D games and videos into full-blown 3D experiences.</p>
<p>Yes, seriously. It maps your eye movements in real time and adjusts the visuals accordingly, so depth perception kicks in naturally, without needing to slap on any 3D glasses. The result? Games and content that actually feel like they&rsquo;re jumping off the screen.</p>
<h3><strong>AI video conversion + game collabs incoming</strong></h3>
<p>The Reality Hub software doesn&rsquo;t just stop at games &mdash; it can convert standard video content into 3D, too. Think YouTube, movies, or even your own recordings. That said, DRM-protected or HDR videos aren&rsquo;t supported, so don&rsquo;t expect Netflix in 3D just yet.</p>
<p>Samsung says you&rsquo;ll need at least an NVIDIA RTX 3080 to run it smoothly, and the Reality Hub driver has to be installed. But if your rig&rsquo;s ready, this monitor is the closest thing to sci-fi display tech you can buy today.</p>
<p>Samsung&rsquo;s also teaming up with game developers to optimise experiences for this tech, including Nexon&rsquo;s The First Berserker: Khazan, with more titles likely to follow.</p>
<h3><strong>Premium tech, premium price tag</strong></h3>
<p>All this next-gen eye candy doesn&rsquo;t come cheap. In the US, the Odyssey 3D is available for pre-order at $1,700, while in India, it&rsquo;s priced at ₹1,27,299. Yeah, definitely a flex &mdash; but for those chasing the bleeding edge of gaming immersion, it might just be worth it.</p>
<p>With spatial audio, edge lighting, and Samsung&rsquo;s best gaming display tech yet, the Odyssey 3D isn&rsquo;t just a monitor &mdash; it&rsquo;s a whole experience.</p>
<p>So, is this the future of gaming? Or just a very expensive way to flex on your Discord server? Either way, we&rsquo;re intrigued.</p>

POCO C71, available now on Flipkart, offers a 120Hz display, 5200mAh battery, and Android 15 at an unbeatable price of ₹6,499. It’s a solid budget phone with modern features but not without trade-offs. Is it worth it? Find out here.

Poco C71 first sale in India: Check price, specs & features

<p>The POCO C71, launched today at ₹6,499, brings a 120Hz display, 5200mAh battery, and Android 15 to the budget segment. While the camera and performance aren't perfect, it offers great value for those seeking an affordable smartphone upgrade.</p>

<p>In a market saturated with budget phones that often have no real differentiating factor, POCO is trying something different with its latest launch &mdash; the POCO C71. As of 12 PM today, April 8, the device is officially on sale via Flipkart, priced aggressively at ₹6,499 for the 4GB/64GB model and ₹7,499 for the 6GB/128GB variant.</p>
<p>What sets the Poco C71 apart is that its carrying specs that we usually don&rsquo;t associate with this price bracket. But does that make it a game-changer or just a spec sheet pleaser? Let&rsquo;s dig in.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco C71 Display</strong></h3>
<p>Arguably the most eye-catching spec here is the 6.88-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It&rsquo;s an unusual feature in this price range, where 60Hz is still the norm and 90Hz is a luxury.</p>
<p>While 120Hz sounds impressive, it's worth noting that this is still a basic HD+ panel. Don&rsquo;t expect ultra-crisp visuals or vibrant color calibration. The higher refresh rate should make scrolling feel smoother, but without a more powerful processor to back it up, it may not translate into a massive real-world performance boost.</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s also a wet touch feature, which POCO claims helps when using the phone with moist fingers &mdash; though we&rsquo;ll have to wait for hands-on reviews to see how well it works. The inclusion of Triple TUV Rheinland certifications is a nice touch for those concerned about screen time and eye strain, but again, it&rsquo;s more of a bonus than a dealmaker.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco C71 Design</strong></h3>
<p>Visually, POCO has done some decent work here. The C71 has a dual-tone finish with a golden ring around the rear cameras and a textured back, which adds some grip and breaks the monotony.</p>
<p>At 8.26mm thick, it&rsquo;s fairly slim for the battery size, and it comes in Desert Gold, Cool Blue, and Power Black. It may not win design awards, but it avoids looking cheap &mdash; which is already a win in this segment.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco C71 Performance</strong></h3>
<p>The C71 runs on an unnamed octa-core processor, paired with up to 6GB of RAM, plus 6GB of virtual RAM. POCO is calling it &ldquo;12GB Dynamic RAM,&rdquo; but realistically, that virtual RAM isn&rsquo;t going to drastically improve speed &mdash; it&rsquo;s more of a multitasking buffer.</p>
<p>Still, for basic tasks like messaging, video streaming, and app switching, this combo should hold up reasonably well. Power users or gamers should temper expectations, though.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco C71 Battery &amp; charging</strong></h3>
<p>A 5200mAh battery powers the phone, supported by 15W charging. That&rsquo;s pretty standard in this segment and should comfortably get most users through a full day &mdash; maybe even more, depending on usage.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco C71 Camera</strong></h3>
<p>On paper, the 32MP dual camera system seems impressive. POCO&rsquo;s also throwing in film filters and night mode, which suggests they&rsquo;re at least trying to go beyond basic point-and-shoot functionality. Of course, expectations should remain grounded &mdash; but even if the camera performs at a fraction of what it promises, it&rsquo;s still a win.</p>
<h3><strong>Poco C71 Software</strong></h3>
<p>Running on Android 15 out of the box, the C71 also comes with a surprisingly generous two major OS updates and four years of security patches. That&rsquo;s rare for phones in this tier and could make it a more future-proof buy &mdash; especially for first-time smartphone users or those looking for a secondary device.</p>
<h3><strong>Final Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>The POCO C71 is aiming to bring a premium experience to a budget audience, and while not every feature will live up to the marketing hype, the overall package is hard to ignore. A 120Hz screen, big battery, clean Android, and long-term support &mdash; all under ₹7,000 &mdash; make it a standout in the entry-level crowd.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s not without trade-offs, but if you&rsquo;re looking for a phone that offers more than the usual bare minimum at this price, the C71 is worth a closer look.</p>

Poco C71 offers a 120Hz display, 32MP camera, and 5200mAh battery at an ultra-budget price. A reliable pick for everyday use, it balances essential features with affordability for first-time or budget-conscious users.

Poco C71 Review: Budget Basics Done Right

<h2>Poco C71 keeps it simple yet solid&mdash;offering a 120Hz display, 32MP camera, and a 5200mAh battery under ₹7K. With reliable daily performance, it's ideal for budget users who want value over flash.</h2>

<p>It&rsquo;s not flashy. It&rsquo;s not trying to be. And honestly? That might be the new Poco C71's biggest strength.</p>
<p>It's the successor to 2024&rsquo;s Poco C61 and lands firmly in the sub ₹10,000 segment. But with promises of a 120Hz display, a 32MP rear camera, and a massive 5200mAh battery, it&rsquo;s hard not to get a little curious. Can a 4G phone this affordable really deliver something usable&mdash;dare I say, enjoyable?</p>
<p>We spent some time with it, and here&rsquo;s what stood out.</p>
<h3><strong>Design &amp; Build: Basic, But Doesn&rsquo;t Feel Cheap</strong></h3>
<p>Let&rsquo;s get real&mdash;it&rsquo;s all plastic. Back, frame, middle&mdash;all of it. But that also means it&rsquo;s lightweight at 193g, and the subtle dual-texture design gives it a bit of flair. No Gorilla Glass protection, but you do get a splash-resistant IP52 rating, which is a nice touch in this price range.<br>There&rsquo;s no notification LED or fancy haptics, but it&rsquo;s comfortable to hold, and the ergonomics are solid despite the big screen.</p>
<h3><strong>Display: Hello, 120Hz on a budget</strong></h3>
<p>This is where the C71 really punches above its weight. You&rsquo;re looking at a 6.88-inch HD+ display, with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. Yes, you read that right&mdash;120Hz on a sub-₹7K phone. It may only be 720p with 260 PPI, but the high refresh rate gives it that buttery feel when scrolling.</p>
<p>That said, colors are more on the muted side (70% NTSC), and the contrast ratio of 1500:1 isn&rsquo;t winning any awards. But POCO makes up for it with eye-friendly features&mdash;T&Uuml;V low blue light, flicker-free, and Circadian-friendly certifications make it a solid screen for long doomscrolling sessions. Brightness tops out at 600 nits in HBM, which is decent outdoors, but don&rsquo;t expect miracles under harsh sunlight.</p>
<h3><strong>Performance: Low-key, but capable</strong></h3>
<p>Running the show is the Unisoc T7250, a 12nm chipset that honestly isn&rsquo;t out to win any races. It features a dual-cluster setup: 2x Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 1.8GHz and 6x A55 cores at 1.6GHz, paired with a Mali-G57 GPU. Translation? It&rsquo;s smooth enough for daily tasks&mdash;web browsing, YouTube, WhatsApp, and even some casual gaming.</p>
<p>Its AnTuTu score of 307,000 is fine for this segment, and Geekbench scores are in line with what you'd expect from a phone that&rsquo;s not pretending to be anything it isn&rsquo;t. RAM options include 4GB or 6GB LPDDR4X, with expandable virtual RAM up to 6GB on the higher variant. But keep in mind, storage is still eMMC 5.1, so don&rsquo;t expect lightning-fast app loads.</p>
<h3><strong>Cameras: It&rsquo;s Fine</strong></h3>
<p>There&rsquo;s a 32MP rear shooter (OV32D sensor) with an f/2.0 aperture and a 4P lens, which does decently in daylight&mdash;don&rsquo;t expect magic, but it holds up for social media posts and casual snaps.</p>
<p>The 1/3.6" sensor size and 0.61&mu;m pixel size aren&rsquo;t ideal for low-light shots though. On the front, an 8MP camera gets the job done for video calls and selfies, and both cameras max out at 1080p 30fps. You&rsquo;re not getting OIS or EIS here, and honestly, that&rsquo;s okay for the price.</p>
<h3><strong>Audio &amp; Connectivity: Mostly Checked Boxes</strong></h3>
<p>There&rsquo;s a single bottom-firing speaker, which isn&rsquo;t a concert hall but gets the job done. POCO keeps the 3.5mm headphone jack alive, and I&rsquo;m thankful for that. Connectivity-wise, there&rsquo;s dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, and support for all major 4G bands in India (including TDD B40/B41). Navigation is solid with GPS, AGPS, Glonass, and Beidou.</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s no USB OTG or vibration motor, so you're missing some basics&mdash;but nothing game-breaking.</p>
<h3><strong>Battery: The Real MVP</strong></h3>
<p>With a 5,200mAh battery, the POCO C71 comfortably sails through a day and a half. That&rsquo;s with 120Hz enabled, mind you. The included 15W charger in the box feels like a throwback in the best way&mdash;no skimping on the basics here.</p>
<p>And while 15W isn&rsquo;t blazing fast by 2025 standards, for a phone in this bracket, it feels fair. Also, POCO&rsquo;s Battery Manager does a decent job keeping thermals and power draw in check.</p>
<h3><strong>The Verdict: Function over flair</strong></h3>
<p>The Poco C71 doesn&rsquo;t try to be something it&rsquo;s not&mdash;and that honesty is refreshing. It&rsquo;s not for gamers, creators, or anyone chasing high-end specs. But for first-time smartphone users, senior citizens, or anyone who just needs a reliable, affordable phone for daily use, it absolutely delivers.</p>
<p>Starting at ₹6,499 (4GB + 64GB) and going up to ₹7,499 (6GB + 128GB), it undercuts most of the competition while still offering standout features like a 120Hz display and a large battery.<br>This isn&rsquo;t a phone to flex. It&rsquo;s a phone that works. And sometimes, that&rsquo;s more than enough.</p>

Vivo is preparing to launch the V50e in India, a camera-centric smartphone that promises powerful features at an affordable price. With a stunning design, impressive photography capabilities, and solid performance, the V50e is one to watch out for. 

Vivo V50e: The camera-centric mid-range beast you can’t miss!

<h2>Vivo is preparing to launch the V50e in India, a camera-centric smartphone that promises powerful features at an affordable price. With a stunning design, impressive photography capabilities, and solid performance, the V50e is one to watch out for.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Vivo is gearing up to launch the Vivo V50e in India, and it&rsquo;s one to watch if you&rsquo;re a fan of camera-centric smartphones. This device is the successor to last year&rsquo;s Vivo V40e, and while it retains the focus on powerful camera features, it promises to do so in a more affordable package. Here&rsquo;s a sneak peek at what you can expect from the Vivo V50e ahead of its launch.</p>
<h3><strong>Vivo V50e: The camera-centric focus continues</strong></h3>
<p>If you&rsquo;re into camera-centric phones, Vivo is a name you already trust. The Vivo V50e continues this tradition, offering powerful photography features at a more budget-friendly price. The phone will come equipped with a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), along with an 8MP ultra-wide camera. This setup is expected to deliver sharp and detailed shots in good lighting, though we&rsquo;ll need to see how it performs in low-light conditions before making a final call.</p>
<p>One of the standout features of the Vivo V50e is the Sony Multifocal Pro Portrait mode. This allows users to capture portrait shots at three different focal lengths&mdash;1x (26mm), 1.5x (39mm), and 2x (52mm). This added flexibility for portrait shots gives users the freedom to adjust their framing depending on the scene, ensuring you get that perfect shot every time.</p>
<h3><strong>Design: Sleek and stunning</strong></h3>
<p>As for the design, the Vivo V50e will come in two stunning color variants: Sapphire Blue and Pearl White. The Sapphire Blue option will have an iridescent finish, reminiscent of blue mother-of-pearl, making each phone unique, with no two having the same pattern. The Pearl White variant will feature a flowing, water-like shimmer that shifts dynamically as light changes.</p>
<p>At just 7.3mm thick, the Vivo V50e is incredibly slim and lightweight, making it comfortable to hold. The matte finish on the back resists fingerprints and provides a premium feel, while the quad-curved display adds to the overall sleek aesthetic of the device. Additionally, Vivo has brought back the bottle-opener-style camera module, which first appeared on the V40 Pro and Vivo T3 Ultra. It&rsquo;s a distinctive feature that still manages to look stylish.</p>
<p>The phone also includes Vivo&rsquo;s Aura Light feature, which enhances low-light portraits by brightening complexions, ensuring your selfies always look their best.</p>
<h3><strong>Expected specifications: What else to expect</strong></h3>
<p>According to reports, the Vivo V50e will feature a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 4500 nits peak brightness, ensuring smooth visuals. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 8GB of virtual RAM, the device promises smooth performance. The 5,600mAh battery supports 90W fast charging. AI features like Transcript Assist, Live Call Translation, and Circle to Search are also set to enhance the overall experience.</p>
<h3><strong>Where to buy?</strong></h3>
<p>The Vivo V50e will be available on Amazon.in, Vivo&rsquo;s online store, and retail stores after its launch. Keep an eye out for this camera-focused mid-range phone, as it&rsquo;s shaping up to be a strong contender in its category.</p>

Xiaomi 15 vs iPhone 16e: A ₹60,000 Android flagship faces Apple's "budget" iPhone. Specs versus ecosystem? Let's find out who wins this battle!

Xiaomi 15 Review & Comparison with iPhone 16e!

<h2>Xiaomi 15 vs iPhone 16e: A ₹60,000 Android flagship faces Apple's "budget" iPhone. Specs versus ecosystem? Let's find out who wins this battle!</h2>

<p>The Xiaomi 15 launched in India at ₹60,000, stepping straight into a warzone of near-flagships from Vivo, Realme, and Samsung. But the real curveball is Apple&rsquo;s iPhone 16e&mdash;a so-called &ldquo;budget&rdquo; iPhone that still demands a premium.</p>
<p>Xiaomi&rsquo;s betting on sheer specs and Android flexibility, while Apple banks on ecosystem lock-in and long-term updates. One&rsquo;s a powerhouse, the other plays it safe.</p>
<p>The choice isn&rsquo;t just about hardware&mdash;it&rsquo;s about how much you&rsquo;re willing to compromise.<br>Now, both phones feel every bit as premium as you&rsquo;d expect.</p>
<h3><strong>Design</strong></h3>
<p>Matte glass backs that reject fingerprints like they have trust issues, aluminum frames that scream &ldquo;I belong in the flagship club,&rdquo; and just enough heft to make them feel expensive.</p>
<p>Apple sticks to its black-and-white colour choices, while Xiaomi throws in a pastel green, because why not? Although I was sent the black variant which feels a bit muted.</p>
<p>The iPhone 16e is all about being sleek and lightweight, while the Xiaomi 15 has that solid, tank-like feel. Apple also gives you last-gen Ceramic Shield for the display&mdash;tough, but not quite as tough as the version on the pricier models.</p>
<p>Xiaomi pulls the same move, skipping the upgraded Shield Glass from its top-tier lineup.<br>For security and biometrics, the iPhone 16e comes with Face ID, which is reliable as ever.</p>
<p>Xiaomi&rsquo;s in-display fingerprint scanner is snappy too, though the speed is mostly UI trickery. Both are IP68-rated, so they&rsquo;ll survive a coffee spill&mdash;or if you&rsquo;re clumsy, much worse.</p>
<p>The Xiaomi 15 is a classic Android flagship&mdash;minimalist, premium, no-nonsense. And the iPhone 16e, well, looks like any other iPhone. That is, until you get a look at the display.</p>
<h3><strong>Display &amp; Audio</strong></h3>
<p>The first thing you notice is that massive notch which instantly makes the iPhone 16e feel outdated.</p>
<p>And because of the notch, you miss out on some of Dynamic Island&rsquo;s best features like live updates for your Zomato orders or Uber.</p>
<p>But once you get past the notch, the rest of the display is actually solid. It&rsquo;s a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel which is bright, vibrant and incredibly sharp, and is great for watching content.</p>
<p>The Xiaomi 15&rsquo;s 6.36-inch LTPO display, though, is a whole other beast.<br>The higher peak brightness means HDR content looks way better, and Xiaomi has all the certifications to back that up.</p>
<p>The bezels on the Xiaomi 15 are much slimmer compared to the iPhone 16e, because of which it feels even more premium. But the biggest difference between the two is the refresh rate.</p>
<p>The Xiaomi 15 dynamically adjusts to up to 120Hz, which makes everything feel buttery smooth. Scrolling through webpages, app animations, gaming&mdash;it all feels silky smooth.</p>
<p>The iPhone 16e, on the other hand, is stuck at 60Hz, and you feel that, big time.<br>You constantly get microstutters when scrolling through text or even when navigating through the UI.</p>
<p>So, while both displays are good image-wise, Xiaomi clearly takes the lead in overall quality, responsiveness, and just how enjoyable it feels to use.</p>
<p>As for audio, both the Xiaomi 15 and iPhone 16e have stereo speakers which are loud, crisp, and surprisingly punchy with solid bass.</p>
<h3><strong>Performance &amp; Software</strong></h3>
<p>Performance-wise, the Xiaomi 15 flexes its Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, while the iPhone 16e packs the A18&mdash;though Apple quietly snipped off a GPU core. But that's not as bad as it sounds.</p>
<p>In Geekbench, the iPhone 16e still keeps up in single-core performance, but in multi-core, the Xiaomi pulls ahead. Graphics-heavy benchmarks like 3DMark and Antutu tell the real story&mdash;Xiaomi&rsquo;s extra GPU muscle offers higher numbers, while the iPhone 16e lags behind, thanks to that missing core.</p>
<p>In real-world use, though, you probably won&rsquo;t notice the difference unless you&rsquo;re running Genshin at maximum settings. The bigger problem, though, is Apple&rsquo;s insistence on a 60Hz display. Even with iOS 18&rsquo;s animations, the iPhone 16e feels sluggish next to the Xiaomi&rsquo;s 120Hz fluidity.</p>
<p>When it comes to heavier tasks though, like 4K video recording or editing, both hold up well. They also manage heat pretty well, despite very different cooling setups.</p>
<p>On the software side, the Xiaomi 15 runs on HyperOS 2, while the iPhone 16e is on iOS 18. As for updates, Xiaomi has promised 4 OS plus 6 security updates. With most iPhones you&rsquo;re good for 7-8 years, although Apple has never admitted it officially.</p>
<p>Now, HyperOS 2 isn&rsquo;t exactly stock Android, but you won&rsquo;t find a tonne of bloatware. Plus, it has its bag of AI tricks&mdash;AI Writing, AI Editing, AI Search, AI Dynamic Wallpapers, and of course, Google&rsquo;s Circle to Search and Gemini.</p>
<p>iOS 18 also brings some AI features under Apple Intelligence like Visual Intelligence, AI Writing Tools, Object Eraser, and Image Playground.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>But even though Apple is pushing the iPhone 16e as the gateway to Apple Intelligence, you shouldn&rsquo;t buy the iPhone 16e just for that. Saying Apple is having a rough time with its AI features would be an understatement.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Cameras</strong></h3>
<p><em>Please watch the video to see camera samples.</em></p>
<p>When it comes to cameras, the Xiaomi 15 packs a triple 50MP Leica-tuned setup, while the iPhone 16e gets a 48MP Fusion sensor.</p>
<p>It's not the same one as the iPhone 16 or 16 Plus. It&rsquo;s a smaller sensor, which means images and videos are a little noisier, especially in low light.</p>
<p>In daylight, both phones take fantastic shots.</p>
<p>The iPhone 16e has a better dynamic range, so it shows more details in shadows.</p>
<p>The Xiaomi, on the other hand, is more contrasty and has punchier colours.</p>
<p>When you zoom in 2X, the iPhone switches from 24MP to 12MP, and loses some detail. The Xiaomi, though stays rock solid. I feel the Xiaomi is at its strongest at 2.6X, with creamier bokeh and superb details.</p>
<p>We get to see similar results in video as well. As for stabilisation, the Xiaomi 15 is excellent and holds up well in most scenarios.</p>
<p>The iPhone 16e does a decent job, but it&rsquo;s nowhere near the iPhone 16 or 16 Pro Max.&nbsp;<br>That&rsquo;s because Apple stuck with a standard lens-based OIS instead of the sensor-shift stabilisation.</p>
<p>In portraits, both the devices handle edge detection well.</p>
<p>At the front, the iPhone 16e gets a 12MP camera, whereas the Xiaomi 16 gets a 32MP camera with fixed focus. However, both of them do a pretty decent good job with both photos and video.</p>
<p>All in all, you&rsquo;ll be better off with the Xiaomi 15 as a whole. It&rsquo;s got a better macro and telephoto setup, and an ultrawide lens&mdash;all with pretty solid sensors.</p>
<p>Plus, the Xiaomi 15 packs pro-level video features like 10-bit log recording, Dolby Vision, and a dedicated movie mode.</p>
<h3><strong>Battery &amp; Charging</strong></h3>
<p>Battery life is surprisingly solid on both. The Xiaomi 15 and iPhone 16e push through 7&ndash;8 hours of screen time, even with the iPhone&rsquo;s smaller battery. That&rsquo;s probably down to that 60Hz display, and the new C1 modem sipping power instead of guzzling it.</p>
<p>Charging, though, is where Xiaomi takes the lead. A 90W charger in the box&mdash;yes, in 2025, that&rsquo;s a flex&mdash;gets you from 0 to 100% in under an hour. It even does 50W wireless and 10W reverse wireless.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the iPhone's 20W wired charging means you&rsquo;ll be sitting around for nearly two hours, and you better already own a charger, because Apple sure isn&rsquo;t giving you one.</p>
<h3><strong>Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>Going into this review, I knew the Xiaomi 15 would win, but even I was surprised by just how one-sided this turned out to be.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Xiaomi 15 an absolute beast, with great cameras, solid performance, and impressive battery life&mdash;easily one of the best compact flagships out there.</p>
<p>The only real reason to pick the iPhone 16e would be iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence. But even then, that&rsquo;s not good enough.</p>
<p>If you have to have an iPhone, there are far better options out there, especially if you&rsquo;re willing to stretch your budget or wait for seasonal discounts.</p>

The three major network carriers in India have confirmed that 4G SIM cards are compatible with the 5G network. 

5G in India: Do you need a new SIM card to use 5G?

<p>The three major network carriers in India have confirmed that 4G SIM cards are compatible with the 5G network.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Airtel has launched its 5G services across eight cities in India. Its rivals, Jio and Vi, are also gearing up to launch 5G by the end of this year.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, what are the requirements for upgrading to 5G? Will a new SIM card be required? Will your phone support it? Let's have a look.</p>
<p>To begin with, all three carriers have confirmed that there is no need to change existing 4G SIM cards to get 5G services. Instead, customers will be automatically upgraded to the 5G network if they choose to opt in.</p>
<p>But if you're an early adopter of 5G on Airtel, keep in mind that it won't work with iPhones right now because Apple has not pushed a software update to enable 5G on its phones.</p>
<p>According to Airtel, its 5G services are active on all other 5G-ready smartphones from all major manufacturers. &nbsp;</p>

Discover the EcoLink AiroElevate BLDC fan – a sleek, energy-saving ceiling fan with smart features, silent operation, and premium looks. Ideal for stylish, efficient home cooling at an affordable price.

EcoLink AiroElevate BLDC Ceiling Fan Review: Finally, a Fan That’s as Smart as It Looks

<h2>The EcoLink AiroElevate BLDC ceiling fan blends stylish design, silent high-performance airflow, smart remote features, and energy efficiency, making it a premium, budget-friendly choice for modern homes.ccccccccccccccc</h2>

<p>Ceiling fans are supposed to be boring. You buy one, screw it in, and hope it moves enough air to keep you from melting into your couch by May. &nbsp;That&rsquo;s the cycle &mdash; pun intended.</p>
<p>But every once in a while, something comes along that makes you rethink why you settled for &ldquo;boring&rdquo; in the first place. The EcoLink AiroElevate BLDC ceiling fan, priced at ₹8,700, is one of those products.</p>
<p>It promises sleek aesthetics, smart features like a reverse rotation for winter, and a power-efficient BLDC motor that&rsquo;s built to survive long summers and longer power cuts.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ve been living with the silk white&ndash;rose gold version (yes, it&rsquo;s as pretty as it sounds) for the past few weeks, and here&rsquo;s the thing: I didn&rsquo;t know a fan could feel this premium.</p>
<h3><strong>A Fan That Understands the Assignment</strong></h3>
<p>Right out of the box, AiroElevate feels different. Instead of bulky plastic wings or dated designs that scream "builder-grade home," you get a seamless blade design that feels impossibly modern.</p>
<p>The silk white&ndash;rose gold variant I&rsquo;m using looks clean, minimal, and frankly a lot more expensive than the ₹8,700 price tag. There&rsquo;s also an espresso brown&ndash;copper option if you prefer warmer, cozier tones.</p>
<p>Mounting it was refreshingly flexible too, thanks to the adjustable ceiling mount that lets you tweak the fit according to your room&rsquo;s proportions. Small detail, big difference.<br>It&rsquo;s the kind of fan that complements a styled living room rather than shouting over it &mdash; something even premium brands forget way too often.</p>
<h3><strong>Quiet Power That Means Business</strong></h3>
<p>AiroElevate doesn&rsquo;t just show up &mdash; it shows off under the hood. With a 100% copper-wound BLDC motor at its heart, the fan delivers an impressive 230 CMM of air at a speed of 370 RPM.</p>
<p>In real-world terms, that means even at medium settings, the air feels instantly refreshing without the need for full-blast mode.</p>
<p>What&rsquo;s even cooler (literally) is how silent the operation is. There&rsquo;s no annoying hum, no weird mechanical buzz &mdash; just a whisper of a breeze strong enough to move curtains without you cranking up the volume on your TV.</p>
<p>And then there&rsquo;s the 5 Star BEE Rating, which basically means you&rsquo;re saving on your electricity bills while feeling smug about being more energy-efficient.</p>
<p>Add to that the ability to run nearly three times longer on an inverter during outages, and AiroElevate starts looking less like a fan and more like an investment in sanity for the next brutal summer.</p>
<h3><strong>Smarter Controls, Smarter Comfort</strong></h3>
<p>If you thought the design and performance were impressive, the operation seals the deal.</p>
<p>The point-anywhere RF remote &mdash; yes, RF, not old-school IR &mdash; lets you control the fan from literally anywhere in the room, no awkward line-of-sight needed. That said, I do wish it had a voice command feature &mdash; something simple like "Fan on, Fan off." (Very Mr. Miyagi). It&rsquo;s a small ask, but given how close AiroElevate already feels to the future, that would&rsquo;ve been the perfect finishing move.</p>
<p>On the plus side, it offes six speed levels, a turbo mode for instant cooling and a timer to automatically shut it down. The reverse mode, especially, is impressive. In winter, it circulates warm air without that chilling downward blast, making heaters way more efficient. It&rsquo;s a feature you didn&rsquo;t know you needed until you use it &mdash; and then you&rsquo;ll wonder how you lived without it.</p>
<h3><strong>Warranty That Doesn&rsquo;t Feel Like an Afterthought</strong></h3>
<p>AiroElevate offers a standard 3-year warranty plus an additional 2 years if you register the product on their DigiShield app. Five years of coverage on a ceiling fan? That&rsquo;s unusually generous, and honestly, it should be the new standard across the industry.</p>
<h3><strong>Extra Flair: Because Why Not?</strong></h3>
<p>There&rsquo;s also a designer LED display tucked neatly into the fan&rsquo;s body that shows you the speed level.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s subtle, tasteful, and visible without feeling tacky. While it&rsquo;s not a must-have, it&rsquo;s the kind of thoughtful extra that rounds out the "premium" experience.</p>
<h3><strong>Final Verdict: Worth It?</strong></h3>
<p>In a world full of ceiling fans that exist purely to move air and collect dust, AiroElevate feels like a product made for people who actually care about their living spaces. It&rsquo;s quiet. It&rsquo;s efficient. It&rsquo;s stylish. And at ₹8,700, it&rsquo;s a luxury that still feels reasonable.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re upgrading your home this year &mdash; whether it&rsquo;s your bedroom, your living room, or even a stylish office space &mdash; AiroElevate absolutely deserves a spot on your shortlist.</p>

The Infinix Note 50S 5G+ packs flagship vibes into a ₹16K shell — curved AMOLED, JBL sound, fast RAM, 4K video, and AI smarts. This budget beast hits hard.

Infinix Note 50S 5G+ Review: A budget device that hits hard

<h2><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">The Infinix Note 50S 5G+ is shaking up the budget segment with its sleek design, AMOLED display, solid cameras, and crazy-fast RAM&mdash;all under ₹16K. It&rsquo;s not perfect, but for the price, it punches way above its weight. This one&rsquo;s a sleeper hit.</span></h2>

<p>Infinix is one brand that&rsquo;s come out swinging in 2025.</p>
<p>The entire Note 50 series is clearly gunning for the top spot in the affordable segment, and the Note 50S 5G+ is no exception.</p>
<p>And first things first, we are thoroughly impressed by the phone. And no, this isn&rsquo;t a paid review. For ₹16,000, you can take this to the bank!</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Note 50s Design</strong></h3>
<p>The first thing I&rsquo;ve got to shout out is just how slim and light the Note 50s is. It weighs only 180 grams and comes in at just 7.6mm &mdash; honestly, getting this sort of a build quality, that too at this price point, is practically unheard of.</p>
<p>Side by side with other phones it just looks so sleek. Infinix even claims it's the slimmest phone with a 3D curved display in this segment.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ve got the Titanium Grey variant, which looks pretty much the same as the Note 50x.</p>
<p>But if you&rsquo;re looking for a bit more flair and style, we suggest that you go for the blue variant &mdash; it comes with a vegan leather back which looks pretty cool, but what really stands out is that it gives off this really cool fragrance.</p>
<p>The back and frame are plastic, but Infinix has gone for this cool metallic finish which feels very premium. You will definitely see fingerprints and smudges on the back panel, but fret not &mdash; you do get a matching case in the box. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, about that camera module &mdash; Infinix calls it a &ldquo;Gem-Cut&rdquo; design. It&rsquo;s flashy, and I get that they&rsquo;re trying to stand out in this world of smartphones that is just full of boring, boxy camera islands.</p>
<p>But if I am being honest, its not my cup of tea. I just wish the module was a bit smaller. But yes, design is totally subjective, so maybe you may end up liking it.</p>
<p>The phone also comes with Infinix's Active Halo Lighting that does it all &mdash; calls, notifications, charging, gaming, and voice assistant. Personally, I found this mostly to be useful for notifications, but it's definitely a cool feature.</p>
<p>The Note 50s also holds its own when it comes to durability. You get IP64 dust and water resistance and military-grade certification. You also get JBL-tuned dual stereo speakers &mdash; they&rsquo;re not super loud, but the bass is clean and doesn&rsquo;t distort. There&rsquo;s an IR blaster on top and also an in-display fingerprint scanner that&rsquo;s surprisingly fast and reliable.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Note 50s Display</strong></h3>
<p>Now let&rsquo;s talk about the display, because it&rsquo;s honestly one of the best I&rsquo;ve seen in this price range, even though it has some issues.</p>
<p>You&rsquo;re getting all the good stuff: a 6.78-inch 10-bit AMOLED panel, rich colours, deep blacks, and a fast 144Hz refresh rate. It even managed to stay pretty bright and usable in the outdoors, and those curved edges give total flagship feel.</p>
<p>But if you&rsquo;re gaming enthusiast and are planning to game on the device a lot, those curves can be a bit annoying, especially when you're trying to grip the phone during intense sessions. Also, the 144Hz refresh rate only works in the settings page, phone and message app.</p>
<p>Everywhere else, the refresh rate is dialled down to 120Hz. Honestl,y though, I was hard-pressed to tell the difference. But for content and casual use, this display is fantastic.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Note 50s&nbsp;Battery</strong></h3>
<p>If you&rsquo;d asked me in 2024 whether a 5500 mAh battery was impressive, I would have said yeah, definitely. In 2025 though, we are seeing manufacturers launch smartphones with 7,000 mAh batteries, and sometimes even more. So, Infinix too could have taken that route.</p>
<p>That said, for a phone this slim, the battery life&rsquo;s very good. I got a full day&rsquo;s use out of it &mdash; gaming, streaming, scrolling &mdash; no matter what I threw at it, the Infinix Note 50s dealt with it like a boss. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The 45W fast charging is also solid, and there&rsquo;s bypass charging as well &mdash; which powers the phone directly instead of the battery, so it doesn&rsquo;t heat up too much when charging.</p>
<p>The battery and charging performance is right on point for a budget phone. Having said that, we hope Infinix pushes the envelop when it comes to battery size. Most users would be perfectly fine with a device that is slightly thicker, but has an insane battery life.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Note 50s&nbsp;Performance &amp; Software</strong></h3>
<p>When it comes to performance and software, the Infinix Note 50S is punching way above its class.</p>
<p>Dimensity 7300 Ultimate may seem to be something extra and next level, but it's basically the same chip as the regular 7300 &mdash; and it still holds up strong. Antutu scores show it&rsquo;s just 3.5% behind the newer Dimensity 7400 on the Moto Edge 60 Fusion. The GeekBench scores also tell a similar tale.</p>
<p>But the real flex is that it's 8GB LPDDR5X RAM &mdash; on both 128GB and 256GB models. That&rsquo;s insane for this price.</p>
<p>Storage is UFS 2.2 &mdash; it&rsquo;s not blazing fast, but for everyday usage, it's more than enough. The UI is snappy, app switching is smooth &mdash; I saw no lag at all.</p>
<p>As for gaming, BGMI runs great on HD + Ultra, but switch to Smooth + Extreme, and it's very smooth.</p>
<p>Infinix claims that you get 90 FPS in some games. You won&rsquo;t find that sort of frame rate in BGMI, but Call of Duty Mobile actually gives you that kind of gameplay.</p>
<p>As for the software, we get Android 15 with XOS 15. There is some bloatware, but by and large, it&rsquo;s manageable. We get a ton of fun stuff like a mini dynamic bar, music gestures, and gesture call pickup, which keep things interesting.</p>
<p>But the true hero is the AI Suite &mdash; we have plenty of generic AI features like AI writing, image gen, object eraser, and Circle to Search. But, we also get some pretty practical tools like a doc assistant, an AI translator, and a surprisingly useful Folax AI assistant.</p>
<p>And yes &mdash; 2 years OS + 3 years security updates. For a phone that costs about ₹16,000, that&rsquo;s a proper bargain.</p>
<h3><strong>Infinix Note 50s&nbsp;Cameras</strong></h3>
<p><em>Please watch the video for camera samples.</em></p>
<p>Moving to the cameras, we get a 64MP Sony sensor + and a 2MP shooter, that&rsquo;s there for moral support only.</p>
<p>But ignore the 2MP &mdash; the main camera delivers. Shots are punchy, vibrant, and straight-up Instagram-ready. The 2X zoom is also surprisingly usable, even in low light.</p>
<p>Selfies from the 13MP front cam look natural. As for videos, you get 4K 30fps on both front and back with decent stabilisation and only minor crop.</p>
<p>We don&rsquo;t get an ultrawide which would've been nice, but for what it costs, I&rsquo;m not complaining.</p>
<h3><strong>Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>The Infinix Note 50S starts at around ₹15,999. In fact, if people who ordered the device on the launch day &nbsp;scored it for as low as ₹14,999.</p>
<p>The Infinix Note 50S goes up against a pretty strong set of competitors. The iQOO Z10x for example, offers a 6,500mAh battery and faster UFS 3.1 storage, but the Note 50S is one of the most well-rounded phones right now &mdash; fast RAM, AMOLED screen, ad-free UI and a solid main camera.</p>
<p>And at the price point that Infinix is offering this device, I don&rsquo;t think there&rsquo;s a lot we can complain about.&nbsp;</p>

The iQOO Z10x offers impressive performance under ₹15,000 with a sleek design, powerful Dimensity 7300 chip, 6,500mAh battery, and solid daily use. However, its LCD screen and camera could be better. A balanced budget phone.

iQOO Z10x Review: It’s all about balance!

<h2>The iQOO Z10x offers solid value under ₹15,000 with a sleek design, Dimensity 7300 chip, 6,500mAh battery, and fast performance. While its LCD screen and camera performance could improve, it remains a great budget option.</h2>

<p>iQOO has been quietly reshaping the budget phone game in India, and the Z10x is its latest attempt to raise the bar under ₹15,000. It replaces the Z9x with a refreshed design, a newer Dimensity 7300 chip, a bigger battery, and a few subtle but smart upgrades&mdash;like UFS 3.1 storage and IP64 dust and water resistance.</p>
<p>On paper, it sounds like a solid all-rounder. But in a segment where brands are constantly cutting corners to hit aggressive price points, how much of that promise actually holds up in real-world use? We spent some time with the iQOO Z10x to find out.</p>
<h3><strong>iQOO Z10x: Price &amp; Variants</strong></h3>
<p>The iQOO Z10x is available in three configurations:</p>
<ul>
<li>6GB RAM + 128GB storage &ndash; ₹13,499</li>
<li>8GB RAM + 128GB storage &ndash; ₹14,999</li>
<li>8GB RAM + 256GB storage &ndash; ₹16,499</li>
</ul>
<p>It&rsquo;s important to note that there&rsquo;s no option for expandable storage on the Z10x. That makes the 256GB variant more appealing for users who store a lot of media or apps, even if it pushes the price above the ₹15K mark.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 8GB + 128GB version remains the sweet spot for most users, offering enough memory and internal storage for daily use without stretching the budget.</p>
<h3><strong>iQOO Z10x: Design &amp; Display</strong></h3>
<p>The iQOO Z10x makes a strong first impression. Compared to the iQOO Z9X, this feels like a more refined device, especially in terms of design. iQOO has stuck with a polycarbonate build, but it doesn&rsquo;t come across as cheap.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The flat mid-frame gives it structure, while the slightly curved rear panel makes it easier to grip. What really stands out, though, is the matte plastic back with a subtle, wave-like shimmer. It reflects light in a pleasing way and does a good job at hiding fingerprints.</p>
<p>The camera module has been redesigned, too. Gone is the circular bump; in its place is a rectangular unit tucked into the top-left corner. It has a glossy finish, which does tend to attract smudges, but it&rsquo;s well-integrated into the overall look.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Inside, you&rsquo;ll find two camera lenses and a ring light&mdash;not for photography, but for notifications, calls, and charging status. It&rsquo;s a functional addition that adds some personality to the phone without being overbearing.</p>
<p>Even with a large battery inside, the Z10x stays relatively slim and lightweight. The rounded corners help with comfort, and it&rsquo;s a phone that&rsquo;s easy to hold for long periods.&nbsp;</p>
<p>An IP64 rating and a claim of military-grade toughness are both rare at this price but it's also not the best. The Realme P3X for instance offers IP68/69 dust and water resistance rating.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The improvements are clear on the back of the phone, but the front still feels like an area where compromises were made. The LCD panel retains the same specs&mdash;FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 6.72-inch diagonal&mdash;but the bezels are noticeably thick.&nbsp;</p>
<p>They&rsquo;re slightly slimmer on the sides, thicker at the top, and fairly chunky at the bottom. Compared to the iQOO Z9x, the design feels like a step back here. It doesn&rsquo;t ruin the experience, but it does pull you out of the otherwise modern look.</p>
<p>The display offers punchy colours, decent outdoor visibility, and the touch response feels responsive enough for both casual gaming and everyday tasks. It&rsquo;s a display that does its job well, without aiming too high. Of course, it&rsquo;s not OLED, so you won&rsquo;t get the deep blacks or the same level of contrast.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>iQOO Z10x: Camera Performance</strong></h3>
<p>The iQOO Z10x features a 50MP main camera on the rear, paired with a basic 2MP depth sensor. Up front, there&rsquo;s an 8MP selfie camera. On paper, this setup is fairly typical for the segment, and in practice, it performs about as expected&mdash;with a few surprises.</p>
<p>In good lighting, the main camera delivers decent shots. There&rsquo;s fair detail, and the colours are mostly accurate, if slightly on the cooler side at times. Where it stumbles is portrait mode. Edge detection is hit-or-miss, and images often look over-processed.</p>
<p>Low-light performance, surprisingly, holds up better than expected. Shots retain a reasonable amount of detail and exposure is handled fairly well, though noise does creep in. .</p>
<p>Selfies are usable, too&mdash;not overly sharp or detailed, but good enough for video calls or social media with some basic tuning. That said, the overall camera package leaves you wanting more.</p>
<h3><strong>iQOO Z10x: Performance &amp; Software</strong></h3>
<p>Under the hood, the Z10x runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, clocked at up to 2.5GHz. It&rsquo;s a solid performer for the price. In everyday use, the iQOO Z10x feels fast and responsive&mdash;apps open quickly, multitasking is smooth, and the overall experience rarely misses a beat.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A big reason behind that is the inclusion of UFS 3.1 storage, which translates to faster app load times and less lag when switching between tasks.</p>
<p>Benchmmark scores are very reasonable too - AnTuTu scores came in at 689,221, just ahead of close competitors like the Vivo T4x. On Geekbench, it managed 1,029 in single-core and 2,813 in multi-core tests</p>
<p>The phone ships with FunTouch OS 15, layered over Android 14. There are some genuinely helpful features here&mdash;AI Eraser, screen translation, and a few neat AI-powered tools.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But like other FunTouch devices, the experience is marred by bloatware and constant push notifications from preinstalled apps. It&rsquo;s not a dealbreaker, but it definitely takes some shine off the otherwise solid performance package.</p>
<p>iQOO also promises two years of Android updates and three years of security patches.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>iQOO Z10x: Battery &amp; Charging</strong></h3>
<p>The iQOO Z10x comes with a 6,500 mAh battery&mdash;a noticeable upgrade from the previous model&rsquo;s 6,000 mAh unit. It&rsquo;s a meaningful bump, and it shows in day-to-day use.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With moderate usage&mdash;messaging, social apps, some video streaming, and light gaming&mdash;the phone easily stretches across two full days on a single charge. Battery anxiety isn&rsquo;t something you&rsquo;ll have to worry about here.</p>
<p>Charging, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. iQOO retains the same 44W fast charging support from the previous model. It&rsquo;s not slow, but it&rsquo;s also not keeping up with the increasingly aggressive fast-charging speeds we&rsquo;re seeing in this segment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In our testing, a full charge from 0 to 100% took about 1 hour and 42 minutes. That&rsquo;s acceptable for overnight top-ups or casual users, but if you're used to 65W or 80W systems, the wait might feel a little long.</p>
<p>Still, the battery endurance more than makes up for it. For users who prioritize longevity over speed, the Z10x delivers where it matters.</p>
<h3><strong>Verdict: iQOO Z10x Review</strong></h3>
<p>At under ₹15,000, the iQOO Z10x offers more than what you&rsquo;d typically expect from a budget phone. It brings a sharp design, solid everyday performance thanks to the Dimensity 7300 chip, and a battery that easily lasts two days.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are trade-offs, of course. The LCD screen has chunky bezels and lacks the richness of OLED. The cameras are functional but not standout, especially when it comes to portraits. And the software experience still suffers from bloatware and notification spam, even though it comes with some useful AI tricks.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Still, if you&rsquo;re after a phone under ₹15,000 that delivers where it counts&mdash;battery life, build, and reliable performance&mdash;the iQOO Z10x is hard to ignore. It&rsquo;s not flashy, but it&rsquo;s smartly specced and thoughtfully balanced for its price.</p>

Explore the OPPO K13 5G's features: 7,000mAh battery, 80W charging, Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, and a 6.67-inch AMOLED display. Starting at ₹17,999, it's now available in India.

Oppo K13 5G Review: More Juice, Less Fuss

<h2>OPPO K13 5G debuts in India with a 7,000mAh battery, 80W fast charging, Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, and a 6.67-inch AMOLED display. Priced from ₹17,999, it's available via Flipkart and OPPO's website.</h2>

<p>The new OPPO K13 5G, like most phones this year, is going big on battery&mdash;7,000mAh big. That&rsquo;s just a touch below the 7,300mAh unit on the iQOO Z10, but still, seriously impressive.</p>
<p>You&rsquo;re also getting the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, a 120Hz AMOLED display, 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging, a decent 50MP main camera, and a few of OPPO&rsquo;s AI tricks borrowed from its more premium lineup.</p>
<p>But does all that actually come together in real life? That&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;re here to find out.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 5G - Price</strong></h3>
<p>The Oppo K13 starts at Rs. 17,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant. Pre-orders are already live, and the phone will be available from today (21 April 2025) through Flipkart, Oppo's official website, and offline stores.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 5G - Battery &amp; Charging</strong></h3>
<p>This is easily the phone&rsquo;s headline feature. The 7,000 mAh battery is a monster&mdash;two-day battery life is absolutely achievable, even with heavy use. Streaming, gaming, social media, camera&mdash;throw whatever you want at it, and the K13 just keeps going.</p>
<p>&nbsp;And it&rsquo;s a graphite-based cell, which is supposed to last longer. Oppo&rsquo;s promising 5 years of endurance &mdash; meaning the battery should retain around 80% of its original capacity even after long-term use.</p>
<p>Oppo also claims that mosnter cell should offer 32.7 hours of music playback, 15.1 hours of streaming short videos and 10.3 hours of gaming.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As for charging, you get 80W SuperVOOC, which is slightly less than the 100W on the K13. But that phone only had a 5,500mAh battery. &nbsp;And we&rsquo;d take the extra 1,500mAh over the extra 20W any day. Still, it&rsquo;s fast &mdash; and charges the phone just over 60% in 30 minutes, which is plenty quick.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 5G - Performance</strong></h3>
<p>The Oppo K13 is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 &mdash; a 4nm chip and the first in the 6-series to feature ARMv9 CPU cores. It&rsquo;s also paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.</p>
<p>OPPO&rsquo;s also packed in a proper cooling system here with a 6000 mm&sup2; graphite layer and a 5700 mm&sup2; vapor chamber.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We haven&rsquo;t run into any slowdowns so far &mdash; multitasking is smooth, app switching is snappy, and day-to-day use feels lag-free.</p>
<p>Would we call this a phone for gamers? Not exactly. &nbsp;You can play BGMI at Smooth + Ultra. Frame rates hold up decently unless you go for longer sessions&mdash;then it starts to warm up a bit and throttles slightly, which is expected at this price.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In benchmarks, it comfortably beats the Dimensity 6300, and even edges past the new Dimensity 7300 in sustained performance. You also get UFS 3.1 storage, which is noticeably faster than UFS 2.2 &mdash; and yes, even the pricier iQOO Z10 is still stuck on 2.2.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 5G - Software</strong></h3>
<p>ColorOS 15 on the OPPO K13 is kind of like that overachieving friend&mdash;it&rsquo;s got flair, it&rsquo;s smart, and it doesn&rsquo;t get in your way (most of the time). Yes, there&rsquo;s some bloatware out of the box, but the good news is it&rsquo;s all uninstallable. Once you get rid of the extra fluff, the experience is actually really clean.</p>
<p>What stands out most is how snappy the UI feels. Animations are smooth, app switching is seamless, and OPPO&rsquo;s theming engine lets you tweak your lockscreen, icons, and overall vibe just the way you want it. You get gesture navigation, multi-window multitasking, a smart sidebar for quick app access, and File Dock for dragging and dropping content across apps&mdash;things that genuinely improve usability.</p>
<p>Then there's the AI suite. AI Summary can pull out key points from an article or document and even read them out loud using AI Speak. You also get the Live Alert feature&mdash;basically OPPO&rsquo;s take on the iPhone's Dynamic Island&mdash;which pops up when calls, timers, or music are playing.</p>
<p>OPPO promises two years of Android updates and three years of security patches. Sure, three OS updates would&rsquo;ve been nicer &mdash; but this is pretty much in line with what most of the competition is offering at this price.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 5G - Display, Speakers &amp; Haptics</strong></h3>
<p>As for the display, you&rsquo;re looking at a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, 1,200 nits peak brightness, and full DCI-P3 coverage.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s sharp, vibrant, and has good viewing angles. I do wish the bezels were a bit slimmer, but I love that it&rsquo;s a flat screen &mdash; no curves, which means fewer accidental touches and a better overall experience for watching videos or gaming.</p>
<p>And along with that display, you get Dolby stereo speakers &mdash; always a big plus.&nbsp;</p>
<p>They are loud thanks to that 300% Ultra Volume mode&mdash;handy in noisy spaces. But don&rsquo;t expect deep bass. Haptics are on the weaker side. They feel buzzy and inconsistent. You don&rsquo;t get feedback in all the right places, and for typing, it's not the most pleasant experience</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 5G - Camera</strong></h3>
<p>On the back, you get a 50MP main camera with the OV50D sensor. This is accmpanied by a 2MP depth sensor It's not breaking any records, but it's consistent. Daylight shots come out sharp, with good dynamic range and natural colors.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Low light is where the AI really kicks in. Night mode actually works well&mdash;brighter scenes, less noise, and better shadows. There&rsquo;s also AI Unblur, Reflection Remover, and AI Retouching, which genuinely make a difference.</p>
<p>Selfies from the 16MP front cam are crisp in daylight. Edge detection in portrait mode could be better, but for Instagram or video calls, it holds up. Video is limited to 4K at 30 fps on the rear and 1080p on the front. No OIS, so keep a steady hand.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 5G - Design</strong></h3>
<p>Now, we have to talk about the design. I don&rsquo;t know... it&rsquo;s kinda nice...</p>
<p>Oppo&rsquo;s clearly tried hard not to make it look like an iPhone 13 &mdash; the cameras are vertically stacked inside a square module &mdash; but yes, it still gives off iPhone vibes, especially with those flat sides.</p>
<p>We like the contrast between the glossy camera module and the matte plastic back. It&rsquo;s got this criss-cross, diamond-like pattern that doesn't look overly flashy. The matte finish also keeps fingerprints in check...well, mostly in check...&nbsp;</p>
<p>We&rsquo;ve got the black version here, but there&rsquo;s a purple one too if you&rsquo;re into something a bit more colourful.</p>
<p>Despite its plastic build, the OPPO K13 doesn&rsquo;t feel cheap. It&rsquo;s solid, slightly hefty at 208g (expected with a 7,000 mAh battery), but still manageable in-hand. The flat display and rounded edges make for good ergonomics</p>
<p>Ports and buttons are all where you'd expect, although the power and volume buttons sit a bit high on the frame. You do get an IR blaster on top&mdash;a small but welcome extra.</p>
<p>Durability is another strong point: IP65 rating and MIL-STD-810H certification are rare at this price.</p>
<h3><strong>Oppo K13 5G - Other Features</strong></h3>
<p>You&rsquo;re also getting IP65 dust and water resistance, which isn&rsquo;t as tough as IP68 or IP69, but Oppo&rsquo;s added this Splash Touch feature, so you can actually use the screen in light rain.</p>
<p>And there&rsquo;s an IR blaster on top. Always handy if you're the kind of person who likes turning off other people&rsquo;s TVs.</p>
<p>Now, Oppo&rsquo;s been hyping up how durable this phone is, but they&rsquo;re still not taking chances. You get an anti-drop shield case in the box, and it feels pretty solid with that synthetic rugged texture.</p>
<p>We&rsquo;ve dropped the phone a couple of times with the case on &mdash; and so far its all good. And no, we&rsquo;re not brave enough to try the same thing without the case. Let&rsquo;s not tempt fate.</p>
<h3><strong>OPPO K13 5G Review - Verdict</strong></h3>
<p>The OPPO K13 5G is one of those phones that doesn&rsquo;t try to do too much, but nails the stuff that matters. That massive 7,000mAh battery is the obvious headliner, and when you pair that with 80W fast charging, a smooth AMOLED screen, and reliable day-to-day performance from the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 &mdash; it&rsquo;s a solid everyday phone.</p>
<p>The camera&rsquo;s not mind-blowing, but for the price, it holds up. If battery life is at the top of your wishlist and you want a phone that just works, the K13 won&rsquo;t disappoint.</p>

Vivo’s T4 is all set to debut on April 22, and it packs a giant 7,300mAh battery, 90W fast charging, and a sleek design under 200g. With a Sony 50MP camera, solid performance, the T4 looks to take the crown in the sub-₹25K segment. 

Vivo T4 first look: Insane battery, but one BIG miss

<h2>Vivo T4 packs a huge 7,300mAh battery, 90W fast charging, and a 50MP Sony sensor in a slim frame. Launching April 22, it could be a top pick under ₹25K&mdash;if it is priced right.</h2>

<p>The Vivo T4 is launching in India on April 22, but I&rsquo;ve already spent some time with it &mdash; and yeah, I&rsquo;ve got some thoughts.</p>
<h3><strong>Design</strong></h3>
<p>Let&rsquo;s talk design. The T4 has a plastic back and frame, which, okay, doesn&rsquo;t scream premium but this thing is pretty solid. Vivo&rsquo;s even throwing around &ldquo;military-grade impact resistance,&rdquo; which sounds intense until you realize it&rsquo;s paired with an IP65 rating.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, the unit I&rsquo;ve been using is the Phantom Grey one &mdash; very minimalist, muted, and apparently inspired by the Toyota GR Supra, which is a weirdly specific flex. It also did catch some smudge every now and then.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Overall, the design is clean and understated &mdash; except for that camera bump. It&rsquo;s massive. The kind that makes you think you&rsquo;re getting something special from Zeiss or Hasselblad. Spoiler alert: you&rsquo;re not.</p>
<h3><strong>Battery</strong></h3>
<p>Now, turns out, the camera bump isn&rsquo;t the only thing going large on the T4. It comes with a monster 7,300mAh battery. Same as the iQOO Z10, if that rings a bell.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ve been using this phone for about a week now, and I&rsquo;ve only needed to charge it once every two days. And I&rsquo;m not talking about light usage &mdash; I&rsquo;ve been on calls, scrolling through Instagram, watching YouTube videos, and even doing a bit of gaming.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ve been consistently getting around 35 to 40 hours on a single charge. That&rsquo;s pretty wild. Like, forget-the-charger-at-home wild.</p>
<p>What&rsquo;s even more impressive is that Vivo&rsquo;s squeezed this massive battery into a 7.93mm frame while keeping the weight under 200 grams.&nbsp;</p>
<p>That&rsquo;s all thanks to the latest Silicon Carbon battery tech &mdash; it packs in more energy than your typical Lithium-Ion cell.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This means you get more juice without turning the phone into a brick.&nbsp;</p>
<p>You also have a fast 90W charger included in the box which tops up the phone from zero to 50 percent in around 30 minutes.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Camera</strong></h3>
<p><em>Please watch the video for camera samples.</em></p>
<p>Now, lets talk cameras. On the back there's a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS and a basic 2MP depth sensor. That&rsquo;s it.</p>
<p>To be fair though, the main sensor holds up pretty well. Images are sharp, punchy, and vibrant &mdash; sometimes a bit too vibrant... But if that saturation feels like a bit much, just switch on Natural Colour mode &mdash; it tones things down while still looking great.</p>
<p>The camera app feels super responsive, especially the shutter button. Vivo has baked its Pro Sports Mode algorithm right into the default 1x shooting mode. It&rsquo;s great for fast-moving subjects &mdash; pets, kids, sports &mdash; you get sharp, zero-lag shots with much better motion detection.</p>
<p>Zoom is handled surprisingly well. At 2X, the shots still hold detail and colour. Sure, you can go up to 10X digitally, but at this point, you&rsquo;re not getting the best results.</p>
<p>For selfies, you get a 32MP front wide angle camera, and it does a solid job. Skin tones look natural, there&rsquo;s good detail, and the algorithm isn&rsquo;t to aggressive with the blemishes.</p>
<p>Low-light performance is also impressive. You get decent detail, solid colours, and processing that doesn&rsquo;t go overboard. Sure, there&rsquo;s some noise, but it doesn&rsquo;t look artificially cleaned up like most budget phones.</p>
<p>Video recording maxes out at 4K 30fps from both the rear and the front cameras. The colours are slightly muted, which is expected.</p>
<p>Stabilisation is where things get iffy. There&rsquo;s an Ultra Stabilisation mode, but it only works at 1080p, and there&rsquo;s a noticeable crop. Even then, the footage can feel jittery at times. The front cam&rsquo;s video pops in terms of colour, but it&rsquo;s way too shaky to vlog with &mdash; you&rsquo;ll definitely need a gimbal if that&rsquo;s your plan.</p>
<p>Now, here&rsquo;s my only real gripe &mdash; there&rsquo;s no ultrawide camera. The 50MP main sensor is fairly wide at 26mm, but I&rsquo;d happily trade that 2MP depth sensor for a decent ultrawide any day.</p>
<h3><strong>Initial thoughts</strong></h3>
<p>Anyway, at the time of making this video, the official pricing isn&rsquo;t out yet &mdash; the phone hasn&rsquo;t launched. But if I had to guess, I&rsquo;d say it&rsquo;s likely to land under ₹25,000. And if that turns out to be the case, the Vivo T4 definitely shows promise.</p>
