Oppo A78 5G : Oppo quietly slashed the A78 5G’s price last month without any fanfare. The base 8GB/128GB variant now costs ₹18,999, down from the launch price of ₹21,999. That’s a hefty ₹3,000 discount that puts it squarely against the Redmi Note 13 and Realme 12 in the budget battleground. My local retailer says … Read more
Poco F4 5G: Three years after release, my Poco F4 still gets software updates, which honestly surprised me given Xiaomi’s spotty track record.

Yeah, that’s gone … Read more
OPPO Find X8 5G: After years of cluttered interfaces and bloatware, OPPO’s finally listened to user feedback with their latest ColorOS 15 skin running on the Find X8.

The installation process took forever – nearly 3GB of data and two mandatory reboots that had me sweating bullets. First impressions? Mixed at best.

Infinix Note 40 5G: Let’s be real – audio on budget phones typically sounds like it’s coming through a tin can connected to a string.
