iQOO is trying to change what “performance” means. iQOO used to be all about fast processors, gaming, and big specs. Now, with the Z11, the focus shifts. The company is talking less about benchmarks and more about AI-powered productivity, battery life, and how the phone actually helps you get things done. Ahead of the Z11 …

Deciding between these three phones is like answering three completely different questions (and getting three different answers) to the same question: which is the best flagship in 2026? Google’s response leads with on-device AI compute and the deepest Gemini integration ever. Apple would counter with its powerful yet efficient silicon, with iOS ecosystem perks and …

Apple’s Siri has been the center of criticism for a few years, especially since Google launched its Gemini-powered AI voice assistant and OpenAI’s ChatGPT got an iOS app. Both these assistants used to be smarter, faster, and more useful, while Siri remained the one that you used to set an alarm or a timer.  At …

I never disliked foldables, but I always stopped using them. For years, using a Samsung Fold meant putting up with a great mini-tablet inside and a cramped, tall cover screen outside. Every time I tried one as my main phone, typing on that narrow front display pushed me back to a regular phone. The Galaxy …

I know it sounds odd to buy an air conditioner in July, when the worst of the summer heat has already passed in most of India. But if you’ve ever tried buying an AC in April when the mercury bar is touching 44°C and every store has a three-week waiting time, and the monsoon is …

Every Prime Day, my phone starts ringing with the same question: which laptop should I buy? I’ve been covering consumer tech for over six years, and I’ll admit the honest answer is always more nuanced than a quick text allows, especially since memory and chip prices have risen exponentially over the last year, pushing laptop …

For years, the illusion of choice has defined a significant chunk of the Android market.

Most 2026 flagships ship with UFS 4.0 (like the Galaxy S26 Ultra), while some …

Most people in India are familiar with the Cool Mode on their AC, but know little about the others. The Cool Mode works fine in April or May, but then what are the other modes on your AC’s remote for? Most modern air conditioners come with five to eight modes, each designed to optimize the …
