This is what Shakil Bakat, head of global product development at Moto had to say, he said that the company doesn’t “see enough pull in the market to put [a new smartwatch] out at this time,” though it may revisit the market in the future should technologies for the wrist improve. “Wearables do not have broad enough appeal for us to continue to build on it year after year.” This inadvertently means that the smartwatch will no more figure out in the Moto’s roadmap....

The Digitizer pad can be used for designers to create the graphics and one could also scribble away their notes on it. The best part of the digitizer pad is that it lights up to become a fully lit keyboard (touch) that can be used to a normal keyboard. We wonder how it is to switch from a usual keyboard to the Halo keyboard as key travel has been one of the important aspects of keyboard feedback....

The discount seems to be available only on the official Skullcandy India website, for other e-retail portals are featuring the headphones at a slightly higher price (generally north of Rs 15,000). Rather expensive at launch… Now, at their launch price of Rs 27,999 in late 2019, the Crusher ANC had struck as being definitely on the higher side. This was because although they did deliver booming bass and decent ANC, they were getting into the range of the likes of the Jabra Elite 85h, the Bose 700, and the Sony WH 1000 XM3 (the XM4 had not been released then, but we would consider them to be candidates as well), that did not deliver the same sort of thumping bass but generally came with way better sound clarity, design, and other features....

Both Lava and Karbonn are known for their budget Android smartphones and feature phones in India.

Furthermore, handsets from last year such as the Moto X family and Moto G third generation will have to wait a little longer as the spokesperson states they don’t want to hinder users’ experience by ruining the performance or battery life that happened with Marshmallow.

How well does the OnePlus 8 Pro shape up there?...

At Rs 3,990, the Bullets Wireless face stiff competition especially from brands like Jabra which has been dominating this price range for years now....

The brand recently introduced the Oppo Enco Buds, and along with being completely and utterly wire-free, these buds also come with a highly affordable price tag of Rs. 1,999. Relatively routine looks The looks of the Oppo Enco Buds are nothing out of the ordinary. It is just a pill-shaped box with tiny round earbuds inside.
