Anthropic Expanding Mythos! Dont you think that these companies are paying more attention to the markets outside the US and Europe now?
My budget is around 30k, and I am looking for a smartphone that can offer good performance. Gaming is one of my priorities, and I can see both iQOO 15R and POCO F7 have lightning deals. Anyone here let me know which one is good for longer gaming sessions. I am also considering a phone that stays cool in this 44°C Delhi summer.
Prime members have early access to the Amazon sale. I am looking for options on LG and Panasonic inverter ACs. Already the temperature is rising! Also, are there any coupons I can use?
With the newer models coming out this year, the iQOO 15 and OnePlus 15 are still the respective brand’s flagships. I need a recommendation on the best telephoto camera for travelling. Is OnePlus a king, or iQOO playing like a knight?
Just checked iQOO 15R on the Amazon Great Summer sale, and price drop surprised me. It was almost down to 43K! Is there any other phone that comes close in gaming at its price, offering the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and 144Hz screen? I am bit confused should I consider iQOO 15R or wait for OnePlus sale offers.
Is the iPhone 17e truly a good deal at Rs. 64,900? Given the competitive smartphone market, will this be a worthwhile investment?
Sony and TCL recently announced that TCL will acquire Sony's home entertianment business. How does it impact us in India as I believe Sony Bravia TVs are quite popular in India? Also, I read somewhere that the prices of Bravia TVs could go down, too? Would it be better to wait if I am looking to buy a new TV?
Is it really important to have VoLTE support in a new mobile considering the future? How to factor this in a decision to buy a new mobile phone like OnePlus 3? Is there a way about of using VoLTE if the handset does not have the support for it per se?
I bought a Mi4i cellphone from FLIPKART on 7th May 2015.I bought the phone to gift my brother who visited me approx 25days after I purchased the cellphone. I checked the basic functionality of the phone when it was delivered to me, then the charger was working fine.But afterwards my brother came up complaining that the phone is not charging(when the battery completely drained out). I visited the nearest service centre and they said that some "Hardware is missing" from the device. I had visited the service center and called multipe times to MI call center for my issue. But they failed to provide me proper solution. Customer Service team also guaranteed me to drop a mail explaining the issues I am facing. I am frustated with the service provided and feeling cheated. Flipkart official are out of this saying they have 1 month replacement policy which has lapsed. I have heard of GREY MARKETING in flipkart and now I am sure of it.

I am looking to upgrade from my current Samsung Galaxy S24 and I think the Galaxy S26 would be a suitable option. So, I am wondering where can I get the best deal on the phone. Should I visit an offline store or keep my hunt limited to Samsung's online store Amazon, Flipkart, or any other website.
I think we all know that wireless Android Auto makes your phone incredibly hot. Features like navigation, charging, Bluetooth audio, and mobile data together heat up the phone, especially in Delhi summers. But I think that the Galaxy S26 Ultra manages to deal with it pretty well due to its large vapour chamber. I can see the difference while I am driving for hours with Android Auto enabled.
Which camera smartphone deal is best right now on Amazon sale? Being a Prime user, I can see impressive discounts on phones like Samsung, Vivo, and iPhone models. This time, I don’t care about performance, so I am considering my options in Vivo and Oppo too. Which one would be under Rs. 70k? Also, please let me know about the bank offers that the sale is offering.
I am ready to spend a premium if I there is good deal on a great camera phone. Confused between the Vivo X300 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Which is a best value for money?
Which Bluetooth speaker model should I choose? I want a portable speaker for my home. But, the battery backup is a deal breaker for me. It should last at least 8-12 hours.
Criminals use AI voice cloning technology to fool parents that their kids are in danger. And sometimes they ask for money, resulting in financial losses and emotional drama. How do you deal with this?
Human-written and AI-generated text are increasingly getting challenging to distinguish. I am a professor at a university and constantly deal with various assignments daily. To make their work faster, students often use AI tools to complete it. Are there any other effective tools to detect AI-generated content?
I am thinking of purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, but I am not sure if its at good deal at its price. I have explored its features and pricing in ads or on other online platforms. Before deciding to buy, I want to know how it compares to other flagship phones.
So, Croma has an ongoing sale on Apple products, and I saw the iPhone 16 listed for Rs. 63,490. Do you think this is still a good deal, considering the iPhone 17 is about Rs. 20,000 more expensive at its sale price?
This is probably a dumb question with a simple answer I’m just missing, but here goes. I’m currently using my iPhone and iPad wired with a Camera Adapter to my DAC via Qobuz in my headphone setup and it sounds good, but I’ve wondered if using a streamer (on the level of an Optical Rendu or Innuos Zen Mk3) would be better as it’d be plugged directly into the router. I’d assume the latter would be better given the wired connection vs. WiFi, but wondering if anyone has compared that to connecting an iPhone/iPad directly to a DAC? Location isn’t a huge deal since I’m in close proximity to my router anyway. Thanks for any thoughts/experience/suggestions.
Hi Guys, This is Rajesh and today I am sharing my views on the LeEco Le 1s that I have been using for the past month. Yes, we all know that LeEco, formerly known as Letv, launched two smartphones in the market - Le 1s and Le Max. The Le 1s is priced at Rs. 10999 and the Le Max (64GB) is priced at Rs. 32999. Le 1s is their lowest priced phone but at the same time gives features of a flagship phone. LeEco claims that they are selling Le 1s at lesser than BOM (Bill of Materials) price (which is more than Rs. 16000). Let’s move on to the review then. BUILD & DESIGNThe first time I opened the box I was like “Wow, awesome!”, yes guys it looks great, it really looks fantastic. One of the most beautiful phones I have ever seen. The mirror-surfaced fingerprint sensor, a smart looking camera and all metal body - all these things make Le 1s a looker! It looks premium and it feels premium. The weight is a bit on the upper side but still with a 5.5-inch Full HD display and bezel-less design it is very handy and easy to use. 9/10 SCREEN & MULTIMEDIALe 1s comes with a 5.5-inch LCD IPS Display covered by Gorilla Glass 3. The display is great with awesome colours and contrast levels. It is sharp enough and watching Full HD videos on the display is a visual treat. Mediatek’s clear motion technology is there, so there is not even a single frame drop. It can compete with flagship phones for sure.9/10 CAMERALe 1s comes with a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera. Rear camera is an ISOCELL unit with PDAF and high aperture for low light capturing. Still, with all these features, this is where Le 1s suffers a bit. The daylight pictures are good with good details and natural colours but in lowlight the camera is just okay. The pictures turned out to be noisy and macro shots turned out to be “whitish” in low light. I also found some reddish tint on the photo. Front camera is good enough for video calling but for selfie lovers it will be a “hit or miss” as the camera works sometime good and sometime bad. Lots of software optimisation is needed in the camera section as the basic things like “beauty mode” is missing. I hope LeEco will release an OTA update which can rectify these issues. UPDATE: The latest OTA improved the camera experience by a huge margin – both front and rear cameras!8.5/10 PERFORMANCEThis is where Le 1s outshines every other smartphone in the same category. Le 1s has Mediatek’s current flagship 64-bit Octa Core Processor MT6795 Turbo (aka Helio x10 Turbo) clocked at 2.2 Ghz. Almost every other smartphone in this price range uses cheaper processors while LeEco uses this flagship processor. We can find this processor even in the flagship phone of HTC M9 (Which costs almost 45 K). Le 1s also has 3GB RAM with the system using almost 1.5 GB RAM but still the phone performs very well. No lag at all. Almost every high end game plays butter smooth. I have tested Asphalt 8 and Temple Run, both run fluidly. As far as the performance is concerned, it is really a beast. It warms a little bit, but that is common for all metal smartphones, so not a deal breaker for me.9.5/10 CONNECTIVITYLe 1s supports 2G/3G/4G networks in India. Everything is working fine. I didn’t experience any network issue so far. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are up to the mark. Le 1s supports dual SIM - one micro and one nano. Both are working perfectly fine. A small negative side is that it doesn’t support VoLTE, so for Reliance Jio users it is a deal breaker. Still it satisfied me. Thumbs up!8.5/10 MEMORYLe 1s comes with 32 GB of internal memory which is really good considering the price. It doesn’t support SD cards but it supports OTG. I was able to connect a 64 GB pen drive through USB Type C OTG cable and it was really fast and I had a nice experience. Overall at this price range it is really good. 8/10 SOUND QUALITYThe external speakers perform well and after plugging in earphones, it sounds really great. It is superior to the competition in this price range. Soothing to the ears and a good option for audiophiles.8.5/10 PROS:Stunning design Premium FeelGreat DisplayGood Speakers & Sound Quality CONS:Okay CameraNo VoLTENo External SD card supportConsidering the price point of 10999, LeEco provides a super “value for money” product which can break all records in the Indian mobile market. As their tag suggests a #SuperPhone at a #SuperPrice…Overall Rating: 8.5/10Verdict: Paisa Wasool..!
