Should Crypto Firms Become Bigger Sponsors in Indian Sports?
Crypto companies have increasingly explored sports sponsorships as a way to introduce their brands to millions of potential users. India, with its enormous sports audience, offers a particularly attractive market for companies looking to build mainstream recognition. Sponsorships can make crypto feel more familiar to people who may never actively follow the industry, but they also raise questions about responsible marketing. Crypto remains a relatively complex and volatile asset class, so advertising it alongside popular sports could potentially blur the line between brand awareness and investment promotion. Should Indian crypto companies be encouraged to sponsor major sporting events, or should stricter rules govern how these brands market themselves?

There is a massive price gap between Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro which is nearly 30-35k in the Indian market. I am planning to get one, but is it really worth spending extra on the Pixel 10 Pro.
If Apple Launches a Foldable, What Price Are You Expecting?
In the Indian market, the maximum range of Apple phones costs around Rs. 1-2 lakhs. Apple's foldable phone is rumoured to launch in September. But I am skeptical about it, since we don not really know if it would have the typical iPhone price tag or cost as much as a high-end laptop.
Indian users caring more about durability than flashy specs
A recent study from CMR suggests reliability is becoming a key metric behind any smartphone purchase. Indian consumers are no longer impressed by flashy specifications they think it is just hype. If a smartphone is durable, reliable, and affordable, that is what drives their purchase decision. Would you consider buying a phone based on these three factors?

Lenovo showed several AI laptops and concept devices at MWC 2026. Do you think they will come to India?
Lenovo unveiled its AI-powered laptops recently at MWC 2026. It featured Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition, ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition and Yoga Pro 7a. I’m curious to know if they will also come to Indian markets?
Does anyone know which chipset we will get for the Galaxy S26 series in India?
I am curious to know which chipsets will be available in India with the Samsung Galaxy S26 series. I am doubtful whether it will launch with a Snapdragon processor, an Exynos chipset or a different variant. Also, would there be any difference in performance, efficiency or gaming experience between the Indian versions and other global models?
Galaxy S26 Ultra Privacy Display: Useful Feature or Just a Fancy Gimmick?
One of the most talked-about upgrades on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is going to be its built-in Privacy Display, designed to limit side viewing without needing a screen protector. Samsung says it can automatically activate while entering passwords, viewing sensitive content, or using selected apps, keeping information visible only to the user. For Indian smartphone users who often use phones in crowded spaces like metros, offices, and cafes, this sounds practical. But how well does it work in real life, and does it affect brightness, color accuracy, or battery life? What do you think?
Galaxy S26 Ultra at Rs. 1.4L Real Innovation or Peak Flagship Pricing for India?
The Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at Rs. 1,39,999 in India and climbs to Rs. 1,89,999 for the highest variant, a price point that demands justification. Samsung is leaning hard on AI features and hardware upgrades to make that case, and there's genuinely interesting stuff here: a built-in Privacy Display, the multi-agent Galaxy AI setup, a serious camera system, and a new APV video codec for sharper footage. On paper, it's a strong package.
But Indian buyers are pragmatic. With bank offers, exchange deals, and upgrade cycles stretching past two years, the real test isn't what the spec sheet says, it's whether any of this changes how you actually use your phone day to day. Increasingly, the Ultra feels like it's chasing a specific kind of user: the creator, the power user, the tech enthusiast. For everyone else paying flagship money, the calculus is getting harder to square.
Sony Bravia KD 55X9000E
I purchased Sony Bravia KD-55X9000E in the year 2018. Just three years and last week the screen went black. When contacted service centre, they checked and confirmed that Mother Board has gone and is beyond repair, it needs to be replaced. and will cost around 10000/- Looks like substandard quality products are pushed into Indian market. Am sure this would not happen in the product of US market….
Very disappointed with Sony product. Please note that a dedicated UPS had been placed for the TV as it was an expensive TV. . I cannot recommend any of Sony products to anyone… This may not affect Sony’s reputation but this is what I will do…

Honest review of Le1s after 2 months of usage
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 & DESIGN SCREEN & MULTIMEDIA CAMERA PERFORMANCE CONNECTIVITY MEMORY SOUND QUALITY PROS: CONS:
The 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
Le 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
Le 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
This 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
Le 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
Le 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
The 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
Stunning design
Premium Feel
Great Display
Good Speakers & Sound Quality
Okay Camera
No VoLTE
No External SD card support
Considering 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: 8.5/10
Verdict: Paisa Wasool..!
Which is better? Le 1s or iPhone SE?
Apple announced the iPhone SE and the web is going wild about it! The Verge says "The new iPhone SE finally makes a small phone feel powerful", TechRadar says that its "Small but mighty!" and The Telegraph calls it "Apple's secret weapon". Lots of superlatives are being thrown around, as is always the case with Apple products. So, in the midst of Apple's reality distortion field, I decided to compare it to my Le 1s - that I've been using for more than a month now. The results, at least for me, are very conclusive.
Let's start with the OS. Android and iOS are now at-par on features, freely taking inspiration from each other and the perennial also-ran Windows Phone. However, if you've been using an Android phone, the move to iOS is jarring regardless of preparation. Trust me, having moved from a OnePlus 2 to an iPhone 6S, I know this better than most. If you're an iPhone user already, there is no discussion required. If you're an Android user, then I'd say "Don't even consider an iPhone!"
Moving on to design and build, the new iPhone is, in line with Apple's policy "thinner, smaller and lighter" than the Le 1s. However, the Le 1s has an astounding screen-to-body ratio of 75% that enables single-handed use and the phone doesn't feel too big. After all, within reason, bigger is always better! Both phones offer amazing build quality at their respective price points, so that's not really much of a contest.
On display, if you like smaller screens, the iPhone SE will appeal to you. But for someone who has used a 4+ inch screen device earlier, going back to a smaller display doesn't really work. In this respect, the Le 1s scores with its big but not too big display, and its helped by minimal bezels. Resolution-wise, its a no contest with the Full HD In-Cell display on the Le 1s ruling the roost with its fantastic color reproduction, great viewing angles and almost-zero bezels.
On connectivity, both the Le 1s and the iPhone SE are at par with each other on Wi-Fi and Network compatibilities, but the Le 1s scores with its dual-SIM capability.
When it comes to performance, I believe that specs are just one part of the game. Real-world performance is key. And in this area, despite having lesser amount of RAM than the Le 1s, the iPhone SE performs equally well due to better memory management in iOS versus Android. Its a straight tie!
Camera is another key feature where specs are just one part of the game with actual photo clarity being the key identifier. The iPhone SE uses the much-lauded camera module from the iPhone 6S, so its a given that photos will come out well. The Le 1s on the other hand had a few initial hiccups with photo clarity but they've since been resolved by OTA updates, so overall - its a good camera experience on both smartphones. The Le 1s scores in lowlight clarity and front-camera! Apple, for reasons that defy logic, went with a 1.2MP sensor on the front-camera. Now megapixels might not be everything, but with a 5MP sensor, the Le 1s handily beats the iPhone SE on selfies. Another reason is the smaller aperture size on Le 1s cameras – both front and rear (f2.0) compared to the iPhone SE which has f2.4 on the front camera and f2.2 on the rear camera – in photography parlance, smaller is referred to as “wider”. A wider aperture lets in more light which gives better photos in low-light and indoor situations, and gives you that beautiful blurred “out of focus” effect on wide shots.
With respect to sensors, the Le 1s has an infrared sensor to control home appliances that the iPhone doesn't. Everything else on this front is a tie.
Finally, the "essential spec" in today's world, battery! The Le 1s has almost double the battery capacity of the iPhone SE, with fast-charge built-in! While iOS has better power management than Android, the huge difference in capacity should result in longer standby times with the Le 1s!
Regardless of all technical specifications and performance comparisons, there will still be people convinced that an Apple product is the next best thing since sliced bread! So, to those people, here is a final nail in the coffin. Both the Le 1s and iPhone SE are good phones that do almost everything you can expect them to. Most importantly for a budget-conscious Indian, the Le 1s costs INR 10,999 while the iPhone SE starts at a whopping INR 39,000! That’s three times more expensive than the Le 1s!!! Case closed.
LeEco leaps to Top 2 brand with most market attention
(New Delhi/ Bangalore, 27 April) LeEco, the multinational internet ecosystem conglomerate successfully makes it to Top 2 brands with most market attention in India in April, after entering into India for less than four months.

The figures from the report show that LeEco secured greater percentage of market attention of 25%, and the ranking has remarkable risen to Top 2, right behind Apple now, from the 4th position back in January. It has well surpassed Samsung and other competitors within no more than four months since its first entrance to the market.
LeEco has grabbed heavy attention and disrupted the Indian smartphone industry with the launch of Le 1s and Le Max, making foray into the Indian market in January this year. It has sold 2 lakhs Superphones within 30 days, receiving overwhelming responses from the public and in the first flash sale, 70,000 units of the flagship killer Le 1s were gone within 2 seconds, breaking three industry records and making it the No.1 best- selling smartphones online in India.

and inking strategic cooperation with Faraday Future.

Xiomi Redmi Note 4G : Not a great phone
I am a sucker for stuff which is not easily available in the market. I guess Xiomi / Flipkart ganged up together to take advantage of this stupid Indian mentality. They create artificial scarcity of product by asking you to register for this product first and then wait for the given time and date to add this product in your cart. So guys, like a fool 2 minutes before the sale started I started staring at the screen and watching the counter as if my life depends upon it. So as the moment came I immediately clicked on the ‘BUY’ button and I was exhilarated to see that I was able to pick up this phone on Flipkart. I then like a stupid fool started gloating over this as if I have achieved something, as if I have won a gold medal or something. All this is OK, fine till I started using the product. There are glaring defects in this product. It heats up very fast once you start browsing the internet, use the apps like whatsapp or play games like Temple Run. The MI browser keeps crashing and displays the POPUP every now and then. “We are sorry that MI Browser is not working. Click the send report button to submit the Bug report or click on close button”. It hangs when you are clicking photos and there is an incoming call at the same time. So my euphoria over the possession of a phone which was difficult to get in the first place turned in to disappointment. This journey from feeling like a winner to ending up like a looser just took 2-3 days. For all the prospective buyers please beware that please don’t get in to this cheap thrills business. I reported this to Flipkart with the request to please OR OR I got a call from the Flipkart executive that they are willing to replace defective phone with a new phone provided I have the original packing. And my god damn luck, I don’t have the original card board packing. If anyone with little bit of common sense is hearing out there, I don’t need a new phone. I just need a phone without any defects. I challenge any one from Xiomi / Flipkart to deny that these defects are figment of my imagination and Xiomi Note -4G is a good product. Also I think we Indians have to learn that all this propaganda of asking you to register and keep you with awaited breath for the sales to begin is a false propaganda. Xiomi Red Note – 4G is just an ordinary product and not something to gloat over. I wish that Xiomi / Flipkart start treating Indian customers with little bit of respect and provide quality phones in the Indian market.
