With around four billion cars expected to be on the road by 2050, congestion and pollution are only going to get worse. A group of aeronautical engineers in France don’t like the sound of this, so they have come up with a very clever solution to the problem. Say bonjour, then, to the Bubble Taxi, a revolutionary water-based car that runs on a 2x10-watt battery that’s recharged by the sun, wind and water while the vessel is docked. The Bubble also uses the same hydrofoil technology found in the speed record-smashing Hydroptère trimaran to elevate itself above the waves once it reaches seven knots. The result is a zero-noise, zero-waves ride that promises to get you to work quicker, and with minimal motion sickness. You won’t even have to make…

A thing of beauty: Industrial Design As McLaren was the first to embrace carbon fiber, it was only appropriate to use the pattern for the back cover. At the bottom is the McLaren Badge that reacts dynamically to different lighting and angles. To complete the look, sleek lines filled with McLaren’s signature Papaya Orange colour surround the device tastefully fading away as we go up. Fast and the furious: Warp Charge 30 Upping the ante is Warp Charge 30 that can power up 50% of the battery in a span of just 20 minutes. 30 watts of electricity flows into the device constantly without any sign of slow down or excessive heat generation. Integrated circuits present in the charger and phone combined with highly efficient power management software make this…

01 HOME TURF Begin by plugging in your Home Max, but don’t get too hasty! Wait for it to boot up (this takes a couple of minutes). Once the Max has chimed to indicate its readiness, open up the Google Home app on your phone. The first screen will show devices that you’ve already installed; tap the plus at the top. 02 FIND THE MAX Later you’ll be able to use the Add page to group up your speakers or add audio sources, but for now tap ‘Set up device’, then ‘set up new devices in your home’ to search for the Google Home Max. Once it’s found, tap ‘Yes’ to confirm that you want to set it up, and again to confirm you’ve heard the sound it’s made. 03…

S-CHARGE BATTERY CASE The only problem with the Switch is its battery life, but there’s a solution. The S-Charge case wraps around your Switch, adding a 10,000mAh battery that extends your portable play time massively. It also comes with a big, tough case that can take the console and battery case, plus games, cables and headphones. s-charge.co.uk NINTENDO SWITCH PRO CONTROLLER The Joy-Cons are great for that instant multiplayer fun, but for more complex games like Skyrimor Bayonetta, you’ll want the Pro Controller. Dual sticks, Amiibo support, motion controls, it’s got it all, but mostly you’ll love the fact it feels like a PS4 or Xbox One controller. nintendo.com 8BITDO WIRELESS BLUETOOTH ADAPTER Why pay out for that premium controller when you can opt for the dinky little 8BitDo Wireless…

Honor has been gunning aggressively for the Indian market share by releasing new smartphones every other month. Honor 8C is their latest effort in that direction coming in a stylish yet affordable package. Instead of opting for a glass back, polycarbonate with a gradient design is embraced. It has higher durability but is still susceptible to minor scratches so the included plastic case is welcome. However, the biggest surprise is the 4000mAh battery crammed inside such a lightweight body. It can easily last a full day of moderate usage. It takes approximately 2.5 hours to juice up from 0 per cent with the bundled 10W regular charger. EMUI, Honor’s UI running atop Android Oreo 8.1, has a separate battery tab for each app that shows detailed power analysis for those…

Big isn’t always best, but it’s a prevailing trend in the smart speaker market right now. Amazon’s pushing hard on its Echo Plus; Apple’s Homepod is certainly not insignificant in terms of its output potential; Sonos is well and truly in the game; and even Ultimate Ears proffers enormous sound with smart assistant chops. Google’s entry into the party-powerful audio game doesn’t disappoint: it’s a big, brash speaker that scales up the skills of the existing Home and Home Mini exactly as you’d expect. It’s well equipped in terms of drivers, with six class D amplifiers driving a pair of dual voice-coil woofers and two custom tweeters. That’s big enough, but the Home Max works with Chromecast Audio, so you can broadcast to it from a host of different apps,…

THE JACKET The humble blazer isn’t so humble here thanks to James Norton’s clever choice of tartan on velvet, with forest green and purple hues. For something similar, try the Hugo Slim-Fit Velvet Dinner Jacket in Dark Green (hugoboss.com). THE SHIRT Keep it simple and crisp, letting your jacket and accessories do the talking. In short, call upon the Italian classic Canali White Double-Cuff Cotton-Pique Tuxedo Shirt (canali.com). THE BOWTIE Buy once, wear forever… That’s if you choose the right bowtie. James has opted for Ralph Lauren, with the Purple Label Silk-Satin Bow Tie (mrporter.com) being a fan favourite.…

01 CHECK FOR UPDATES Your DJI Mavic Air and the controller will work at their best when the DJI Go 4 app and the drone’s firmware are bang up to date. Before you leave home to go on an adventure, always check for routine software updates as countryside Wi-Fi and 4G can be sketchy. 02 GET INSPIRED If you’re stuck for shot ideas, fret not. Plenty of pro pilots share their astonishing video footage and stills online, giving you endless inspiration for new locations, angles and subjects. For starters, take a gander at the popular Instagram accounts @ droneoftheday and Tobias Hägg’s @airpixels. 03 POWER UP As mentioned above, our only reservation with the Mavic Air is the short battery life per charge. At ₹6,200 each, a spare Mavic Air…

From ₹76,900 apple.com Last year, Apple declared that the iPhone X’s design was the future. But it was also much more expensive than previous flagship iPhones. Now, the iPhone XR brings that design at a price more people will be willing to pay, but it’s still packed with flagship-level tech from the XS. Still, starting at ₹76,900 instead of the ₹99,900 of the 5.8-inch iPhone XS means some savings had to be made by Apple. The biggest change is the screen: here, you get a 6.1-inch LCD screen (which is easier to use one-handed than the 6.5-inch screen of the iPhone XS Max) with a resolution of 828x1792. That’s nowhere near as detailed as the 1242x2688 display in the iPhone XS Max, and being LCD instead of OLED means you…

Asus’ renewed focus in the smartphone market has helped the company get market share and the key device that helped them achieved it was the ZenFone Max Pro M1. Now, they’ve launched its successor that goes head-to-head with Xiaomi’s latest Redmi Note phone. Companies tend to follow a similar design pattern for their successful devices. But not the new ZenFone Max Pro M2. In fact, the new device comes with a shiny plastic back that mimics 3D glass with a wave design. Despite being plastic, it looks premium. Notches are the norm these days so it’s unsurprising to see ZenFone Max Pro M2 also featuring one. The notch, however, is compact that allows Asus to integrate a slightly larger display (6.26-inches in size) with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 on top.…

It’s a well-known fact, but for those who are just catching up: Gadget Guru has really big hands. They’re like giant-sized spades. They can hold two basketballs each. Thus, when Guru Jr demands that his father show him up at Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch, those hands have been forced to curl into an unpleasant shape around the tiny, awkward Joy-Con controllers. Well, no more: while it was certainly the thrifty choice, GaGu is more than happy with his purchase of a Hori Switch Horipad, which is a proper USB controller that Guru Jr is absolutely not allowed to use. Perhaps the proper Nintendo Pro Controller might have been better, given that it supports rumble and motion, but is. Gagu’s streaming exploits continue – his world-class gameplay…

The art of selecting the right fragrance for your personal style, an event or outfit can be tricky. In an age where you can find answers to almost anything online, how to go about selecting a scent takes a little more than just a Google search. There’s a certain intuition that comes with picking a fragrance and knowing when to wear it. This is the view of Lance Patterson, CEO of Perfumers 1870, a brand collective that manages luxury British perfume house Penhaligon’s (penhaligons.com). To find out how the experts do it, T3 asked Patterson how he goes about choosing the ideal fragrance. “Buying a fragrance is all about instinct,” he says. “You will respond automatically to something you are drawn to.” But how can you test fragrances correctly to…

The Corsair HS70 SE bucks the latest RGB trend that you often find with gaming peripherals and accessories. It’s all black exterior, mesh outer grille and accent stitched headband makes it look simple yet stand out from the snazzy looking competitive devices. The headphones are durable and ergonomically designed, thanks to the metal construction and aluminium yoke, and comfortable memory foam earpads. The HS70 SE boasts on-ear volume controls as well as microUSB and detachable mic ports. We like the no-frills design but if we were to nitpick, we don’t like how the mic port cover is not attached to the headphone, making it very easy to lose. The Corsair HS70 SE is a wireless headphone but unlike regular Bluetooth headphones, it can only talk to the bundled transmitter. In…

T3 India as a magazine/ezine rightly focuses on products that are new and under development. This, of course, does not suggest or imply that everything old is bad and outdated. The pace at which technology moves, demands that we cover all product developments for our readers. In few cases, this means going back to the past. Look at the worldwide revival of turntables. Only 15 years ago, the turntable was consigned to the dustbin. Today, pressing plants are hard pressed to meet the demand. The area where retro is most in demand is music – both Western and Indian, and T3 India seeks to address this gap. We hope you enjoy this section.…

Immortalised in the 2003 film Lost In Translation, when Bill Murray’s struggling actor was seen advertising it, Suntory is renowned for its award-winning malt whiskies, distilled at the foot of Mount Kaikomagatake in the Japanese Alps. One of those, the Hibiki (Japanese for harmony), is a truly indulgent blend that contains notes of vanilla, ripe bananas, marzipan and fruit cake, and comes in a gorgeous, multi-faceted bottle representing the 24 ‘small seasons’ of Japan. But what makes the 17 Year Old edition of this tipple especially noteworthy is that Suntory is discontinuing it due to a shortage of stock – meaning your investment is likely to go up in value, if you can resist opening it. Considering how damn good this stuff tastes, that’s a very big if. ₹50,000 for…
