Part of Sennheiser’s 2017 range of headphones, the HD 4.40 BT sits bang in the middle of the wired HD 4.30 and the 4.50 which includes active noise cancellation. Priced at Rs. 10,990, the pair is relatively pricey and faces a fair amount of competition. Will Sennheiser be able to strike that much vaunted balance between performance and price? We find out in our review. Continue reading “Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT Review”
These days, Smartphones are all about the processor, camera and of course the “Design”. While most of the handset makers come out with metal unibody handsets, Huawei’s online brand Honor came up with a refreshing device dubbed as Honor 8 Lite. Continue reading “Honor 8 Lite Review”

While some handset makers concentrate on specific range market, Samsung has learned the art of balancing between the High, mid and low ranges of smartphones. Having said that, the company also launches smartphone under Galaxy A and C series, which fills the space in between mid to high-end range. This exact space between the two ranges gives you the blend of performance, quality and premium look at low-cost. So, this is what the new Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro is all about. Continue reading “Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro Review”
Dual front camera setup, performance oriented processor and premium build. These were the ingredients chosen to create a perfect selfie smartphone and thus was born the OPPO F3. The synonym of selfies a.k.a OPPO F3 is rather a downsized version of the previously launched F3 Plus, striking out the suffix in addition. Continue reading “OPPO F3 Review”
The sub 10,000 rupee category of phones has been redefined by Xiaomi’s Redmi series.

Think CAT and a massive yellow excavator is probably the first image that comes to your mind. Short for Caterpillar, the company has been making heavy construction equipment for decades now. What’s not quite as well-known is the fact that the company has been in the rugged phone market too for the last few years. While the S60 might be the first smartphone with a built-in thermal camera, it is also the first CAT device to be launched in India. Rugged phones are still a bit of a rarity in India so we were suitably excited to put the CAT S60 through it’s paces. Find out what we discovered in our review. Continue reading “CAT S60 Review : Rugged to the Bone”
Amazon entered India in mid-2013 and soon became one of the biggest e-commerce players in the market. Last year, the company launched its Prime video subscription service in the country to create ripple in the online streaming market and locked horns with the likes of Netflix and Hotstar. It is pretty clear that Amazon considers India as a potential market and hence has big plans for the country. Following the Prime Video launch last year, Amazon launched its Fire TV Stick with voice remote for Rs. 3999 in India last month.
We have got our hands on the Amazon Fire TV Stick, so let’s take a detailed look at the features and see if this could be your go-to streaming device. Continue reading “Amazon Fire TV Stick Review: A value for money streaming device”
Samsung launched the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones in India last month starting at Rs. 57,900. As the name indicates, the S8 is the eighth smartphone in the ‘Galaxy S’ series, which is a major improvement when it comes to the design and display compared to Galaxy S6 and S7 series of smartphone. Is this a good successor to the S7 in the ‘Galaxy S’ series? Let us find out in the review.
Stepping out from their slumber, Micromax is finally introducing a range of new smartphones. A play in the online-only space, the Evok series is aimed directly at competitors like Xiaomi. With the Evok Power and Evok Note, the first wave of phones target both the large battery and large display wanting market segments. A budget device that is focussed on delivering the essentials, the Micromax Evok Power brings a large battery, sturdy design as it’s highlight features. Will that be enough to make it a strong contender in the highly competitive budget segment? We find out in our review. Continue reading “Micromax Evok Power Review”
Brainwavz is one of those brands that we blindly trust to introduce some of the most well lasticriced and more importantly well sounding audio products at their respective price points. We’ve previously reviewed the Brainwavz M3 and Alpha in-earphones and found them to be pretty solid performers. Today we’re about to take a look at the Brainwavz Delta bluetooth in-ear monitors priced at Rs. 3,699. These compete in a market category that is flooded by a large number of branded and off brand competition. Let’s see if they have what it takes to cut out a niche for themselves. Continue reading “Brainwavz Blu Delta Review”
OPPO are investing heavily into the selfie game. There is a huge demand for selfie centric smartphones in China and lately India too has been showing similar signs. I have seen several users buying smartphones solely due to the focus on selfies. However, as a smartphone, there are several other parameters to be considered in order to truly gauge the value of a smartphone and that is exactly what we will be doing in this review.
Samsung has this ritual of launching specific smartphone series including Galaxy A, Galaxy J and some more every year, with some refinement in the build quality and specifications. Continue reading “Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) Review”
Nigh identical to the Xperia XZ launched back in October, Sony’s latest and greatest has more than a passing resemblance to the model. Placed side by side, the all new Sony Xperia XZs would appear to have the same shell, a very similar port configuration and for what it is worth, largely a similar configuration. What then separates it from a 6 month old model and more importantly, what makes it worth your consideration having launched within days of the LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8? We find that out and more in our full review of the Sony Xperia XZs. Continue reading “Sony Xperia XZs Review”
