TRAI has issued a clarification on the 140 and 1600 number series row, dismissing recent media reports as potential “misinformation” and restating its position — no tagging, blocking or filtering of 1600-series calls is permitted, and 140-series calls can only be blocked through the DND registry.

Spam and Fraud calls are a massive problem plaguing India and many other countries. India is one of the most spammed countries around the world with consumers receiving over 41 billion spam calls and 129 billion spam messages every year.
Foldables have been around for a while now, and they’ve typically asked you to accept a few trade-offs in return for that second screen. But as the technology matures, those compromises are steadily disappearing — and foldables are finally hitting the mainstream. The HONOR Magic V6 is a perfect example, packing a remarkable amount of engineering into an exceptionally thin chassis. It measures just 4.0mm when unfolded, and even folded shut it comes in at only 8.75mm — exactly the same thickness as the iPhone 17 Pro Max, a conventional, non-folding phone. It could very well be the most innovative foldable money can buy.

I had a chance to connect with Gaurav Gupta, Founder, Gabit, to decode the company’s vision, the choice of the ring form factor, and why he believes the consumer universally rejects hardware paywalls.

Indians sleep an average of 6 hours and 28 minutes a night — roughly 40 minutes less than the world’s best-rested countries, with the average bedtime creeping past midnight at 12:14 AM. That’s the kind of insight Oura was sitting on before it officially launched in India.

So how does the Galaxy S26 Ultra measure up against its rivals? Do these upgrades justify the price? We find out in this review.
