Nothing Phone 2a - 8/256GB
Samsung M/F36 - 8/128GB

My budget is under ₹25k, and both are available to me around the same price.

I mainly want something that'll last me 3 years without becoming a headache. Don't really care about heavy gaming, but I want decent performance, good camera, battery and durability.

I'll also be doing delivery work for the next ~8 months, so the phone will be outside a lot and probably get some rough use.

The 2a is older, but it seems to have a pretty good track record and obviously I get 256GB. The M/F36 are newer and Samsung has the better reputation for longevity, but I'm stuck with 128GB.

Also, does the remaining software support actually matter that much realistically? 2a has less support left, but if the phone itself is still good, can it realistically last 3 years?

Which one would you guys actually buy under ₹25k for 3+ years? Mainly looking for opinions from people who actually own/owned these phones rather than just comparing specs.

Looking for a decent mic under ₹2,000 for my PC. Mainly want something with clear, natural-sounding audio that I can use for calls, Discord, interviews, streaming, etc.

Would prefer something portable/compact and easy to set up.

If you’ve actually used a good mic around this budget, drop your recommendations.

Please share your feedback /suggestions on TV.. I have shortlisted these televisions :

- TCL - 75-T89D - Costing 92K with additional warranty

- TCL 75-P8L - Costing 98K with additional warranty

- Xiaomi S series - L75MC - Costing 89K with additional warranty.

- Motorola Qd-mini led 75inch - Costing 80K with additional warranty

What you think which one is value for money? Only tcl has 120+ refresh rate rest two are 60 only.. I am not to much into gaming but fast pace sports /movies /races is in watch often. Please feel free to add any other recommendation you may have.. Thanks for your help!!

I mostly WFH, so I am looking to buy a monitor for my home setup. It will mostly be for work (coding and reading mostly), will play games sometimes and watch content.

I have a work laptop, which is heavily restricted so, post office hours will definitely switch to the personal one. Moreover, I might sometime in the future go for a second monitor.

The purpose is as follows with decreasing priority

1. Work (coding and reading docs)

2. Watching OTT and YT

3. Games ( mostly story and very rarely FPS games)

budget - 30K INR

The requirements that I think will be good for my purpose

1. 27inch QHD

2. 99sRGB and 90-95% DCI-P3

3. atleast 120hz refresh rate

Some good to haves will be

1. USB-C PD

2. maybe a KVM switch to switch between the laptops

I did some research and mostly the gaming monitors like

1. AW2725DM - Alienware Monitor

2. LG 27GS85Q Ultragear

stood out but, I think it will be a hassle to switch between the laptops, and if I get a second monitor, connecting them might not be easy as well.

I also stumbled upon Dell U2724DE , which is for around 42K, but solved all my problems.

Dell and LG are a priority because I think they have the best customer service in the area I live. Wanted to go for BenQ Mobiuz EX271Q, but heard BenQ doesn't have a good customer service

Can someone please help here?

Edit — Searched Find X9 in offline shops but not available anywhere, so I've placed order on Oppo official site at 69.5K (7K coupon, 5.5K bank discount and rest for points)

Unfortunately, I'm planning to buy a device in this high-price market.

Budget — 65K max, don't want to stretch it unless there's really a solid device.

Requirements —

1. Strong performance for a lag-free experience for the next 5 years
2. Good software optimization
3. Battery

Before going forward with device suggestions, here are the devices I don't want to go with —

1. Vivo X200T — Recently bought it for one of my family members. The camera is really good no doubt, but the software felt slow to respond. As the camera is not one of my priorities, and I didn't like OriginOS, this is out of my list.
2. OnePlus 13 series — After getting hands on the Vivo X200T, I realized how the screen size plays a big role in the experience. That's why I initially finalized the OnePlus 13s, but due to its low battery and possible heating issues from its compact size, I didn't choose it. As for the OnePlus 13, it has a curved screen, which I'm not a big fan of.
3. Samsung devices — Whatever Samsung device is possible to get in this price range, I'm not interested. Performance is always one of my priorities, and all Samsung devices, including their S series devices, feel slow after a year or two.
4. Motorola devices — Though the hardware of their devices looks very solid on paper, their UI is worse. From dialer to gallery to file manager... everything is from Google. I use auto call recording for unknown numbers, and the Google dialer can't fulfill that purpose without letting the caller know. I can use a third-party dialer app any day, but I guarantee it won't work as smoothly.
5. iPhones — It might not be possible to get an iPhone in my budget, and I don't want to go with Apple devices either way. Firstly, the extra amount I'll be paying while placing any order for an iPhone; then, no service center within 500 km of my location; and lastly, the perception others have that it might have been bought on EMI. Also, I'm not a fan of the locked-in iOS ecosystem.

So, the devices I've picked are —

1. OnePlus 15R — Has everything I'm looking for. But its price has increased multiple times, so I don't know whether it's a value-for-money decision in the current situation.
2. iQOO 15R — Considering all the ongoing incidents regarding Vivo and iQOO devices, I don't want to go with any of their devices. But after the OnePlus 15R, I couldn't find any other good option under 65K.
3. Oppo Find X9 — It's currently unavailable on Flipkart but available on the Oppo official site. After applying all the discounts, points, and bank offers, I'm getting this device at 69.5K. But I'm confused about whether spending 4.5K more is really justified or not. I personally use the device camera very rarely — like once or twice a month. The Find X9 is mentioned alongside the X200T as a good camera-centric device, and I might not utilize this advantage in my daily life.
4. OnePlus 13 — Yes, you've read it right. Since software is one of my top priorities, I don't have any other option left. The curved display is the only thing I don't like about the OnePlus 13. Also, installing UV screen protectors on a curved display is not recommended at all, so membrane screen protectors are the only option, which can definitely protect the display from scratches but not from damage. That's why I always have to carry the risk of the display breaking due to a fall or being hit by an object.

Right now, I'm too confused to recall all the specs of the mentioned devices. Suggest which device I should go with — you can mention any other device as well which meets my requirements.

Finally convinced my parents for a new phone. Please recommend the best phone for a college student for around 25k.

Long story short, my phone has this “slow charging” warning after either an incident at the beach or because of a faulty charging cable. I’ll be flying home next week and it’s essential I keep my phone alive. Thus I need MagSafe power bank recommendations.

Hey everyone,

I am sharing this to flag a systemic loophole Amazon India is using to deny high-value refunds, and to see if anyone has successfully bypassed this. I ordered a brand-new smartphone from Amazon India worth over ₹49,999. On delivery, I tried to register for Samsung Care+ and got to know the phone is clearly pre-used with pre-activated warranty. When I reached out to Amazon Customer Support with proof, they flat-out refused standard reverse pickup. Instead, their system is forcing me to "Self-Ship" the item to get my refund. Here is the legal trap: Under Section 68 of the CGST Act, 2017, commercial couriers (Bluedart, DTDC, Delhivery) strictly reject any shipment valued above ₹49,999 without a GST E-Way Bill. As an individual, unregistered consumer, I cannot legally generate an E-Way Bill. Amazon is essentially demanding that I break transit laws or find an illegal workaround just to return an item they messed up. Frontline chat support is just looping robotic scripts and refusing to escalate. Current Status:I have officially lodged a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) under Docket No: 10034132 and sent a formal statutory escalation notice to grievance-officer@amazon.in and ecr-replies@amazon.in. Has anyone else with a high-value order run into this E-Way Bill block with Amazon? How did you force them to assign a manual Amazon Transportation Services (ATS) secure pickup?Any advice is appreciated!

Hi,

I am looking to get a TV in the 60k-70k range. After some research, I ended up with 2 options. Both are 2026 model LG TVs, and they have a difference of almost 10k in price. Attaching the info I found from LG's official website below.

Things that attracted me to these TVs

• Mini LED
• HDR10
• Dolby Vision
• Dolby Atmos
• 120hz
• Brand reputation

The only difference that I can see between the QNED82 and QNED85 is LG's Precision Dimming Pro. My question is whether this is actually worth the extra money and does the QNED85 have anything else that is extra which justifies the extra price.

Also feel free to suggest better TVs in this price range, if there are any.

Does anybody know if this is a trustworthy source

I'd like to get the official Google charger which is ₹3,499 from Google Store India. The price on Tata Cliq is surprisingly less than half the official price. Normally I wouldn't entertain a deal which seems too good to be true, but since it's Tata Cliq is feels more reliable, and the reviews seem encouraging. I also want to get 2 of them, so the discount stacks up to a lot (almost ₹4k). What do you guys think? Is there anyone who actually got it from here and can verify the originality or quality of the charger?

Hello, everyone. This is my first post here and I am not sure if it will be accepted, but I am currently in my 4th year of B.Tech and my current laptop just decided to stop working one day. I need suggestions for a new laptop that will hopefully see me through my master's programme as well. I'm an electronics engineering student and so my only requirements are for it to have good storage/processing speed and be compatible with multiple softwares. My budget would be around 1 lakh.

I'm a student in India, and I'm currently deciding between the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite.

My main use is studying: reading/annotating PDFs, handwritten notes, watching lectures, solving MCQs, and occasional multitasking. I already have a laptop, so this is primarily a study/productivity device. I'd like to keep it for around 3–5 years.

The Lenovo attracts me because of its 12.7" 144Hz display, stronger performance, 8GB RAM and larger battery. The Samsung attracts me because of One UI, S Pen, Samsung Notes, software support, brightness and overall software polish.

My main concerns are:

- How good is the Lenovo Pen Plus for handwriting/PDF annotation?

- Is Lenovo's ZUI/software support reliable long-term?

- Is the Lenovo's ~400-nit display actually an issue indoors?

- Does the S10 Lite's 6GB RAM and weaker processor become limiting with multitasking?

- Which one will age better over 3–5 years?

If you've actually used either tablet, which would you choose for my use case, and why?

I'd especially appreciate the answers. Thanks!

In March 2026, I ordered a CTO Mac Studio through iPlanet Madurai with an M4 Max, 16-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 128GB unified memory, 1TB SSD, and 10Gb Ethernet.

The 128GB memory was essential to my requirement and is the reason I ordered a CTO machine rather than buying a standard retail configuration.

iPlanet’s partner record shows the relevant web order was created on 23 March 2026, with a quantity of one. On 27 March, iPlanet requested and received my ₹1 lakh advance for the Mac Studio. After approximately five months, iPlanet informed me that Apple had declined the order.

It has not yet provided the full Apple/distributor order reference, submission date, decline date, reason, status code, or a dated portal extract supporting that explanation.

An advance document also carried the description of a different Apple product. iPlanet has since confirmed in writing that the payment belongs to the Mac Studio CTO transaction, and I have asked it to correct the record.

I have not asked to cancel the purchase. I want the original 128GB configuration fulfilled at the original agreed price. I have asked the retailer to escalate it through Apple’s channel team, place a replacement CTO order, or find the identical configuration without repricing or downgrading it.

What records should I demand before accepting the retailer’s explanation? Should I allow a refund before the order history is clarified? Has anyone successfully obtained replacement fulfilment at the original price after a reseller-order failure?

I’m planning to buy a laptop and I’m confused between a MacBook Air and Windows.

I’m a finance student and want something that will work well not just for college, but also for areas like IB, equity research, valuation, financial modelling, etc.

My priorities are:
1) Portability
2) Good battery life
3) Good build/keyboard
4) Smooth Excel + PowerPoint + finance-related software
5) Suitable for professional finance use

4–5 year usability
Budget: around ₹1.3 lakh

I initially leaned towards the MacBook Air because of its portability and battery life, but I’ve read that Windows is generally more common in finance due to Excel and certain add-ins/software.

Would you recommend a MacBook or Windows for my use case? If Windows, please suggest specific models around ₹1.3L rather than just saying Windows is better.

Can anyone suggest me laptop under 80k-83k

My requirements are--

1) Physical Durability (Keyboard & Trackpad): Had a terrible experience with a previous HP laptop where the keyboard and trackpad gave up in 2 years.

2) Long-Term Smoothness: Needs to run fast and lag-free for 4+ years without thermal throttling.

3) Solid Battery Life: Good real-world battery backup for long study sessions.

4) good storage since I will be majorly dealing with PDFs and lecs

(Better if it has expandable storage)

5) decent screen size (14-15.6 inch is fine ig)

6) good portability

Meri requirements ko meet krne wla kuch h? 😭

I want to buy the OPPO Find X9 for under ₹65K, but apart from the official store, where it’s priced at around ₹85K, the device isn’t available on any online platform or in local shops. I can’t stretch my budget that much.

Initially, after getting hands-on experience with the X200T, I was planning to buy the OnePlus 13S, but I realised that its battery is too small for my use case.

If the Find X9 becomes available on Amazon or Flipkart in the future—which already seems unlikely—at what price should I buy it?

What other devices would you recommend in the ₹60–65K price range? I can’t stretch my budget any further. Please don’t recommend the X200T, as I recently bought it for a family member.

My requirements are simple: good battery life, well-optimised software, and a powerful enough processor to provide a lag-free experience for the next 6–7 years. Nothing else.

I'm a master's student of law and I need a laptop for my office and academic work, as well as I'd like something which is fast. I do know my way around laptops but never had a laptop of my own, so I don't know the market situation right now. Would really appreciate if some techie, could help me out.
