HUAWEI MATEBOOK FOLD ULTIMATE DESIGN Foldable phones are old news these days, but what about foldable laptops? Well, Huawei has just launched its MateBook Fold Ultimate Design, and it could go some way to answering that question. On first blush, it feels like something right out of the future. When opened up, this foldable tablet-laptop hybrid stretches to 18 inches across, turning it into a sizeable slate for touchscreen tasks. It features an OLED panel with 1,600 nits of brightness and a 3K resolution, yet instead of two discrete displays connected by a visible hinge, Huawei’s device offers up a single seamless screen. Fold one edge up along its axis and it transforms into a compact 13-inch laptop. There’s a virtual on-screen keyboard for when you need to type, and…

Do you ever skip breakfast and start the day by chugging coffee? Apparently, many people in the UK do, and it’s not good news for their health. One solution to this issue is The Protein Works’ new Protein Coffee Coolers range (from C3,000, theproteinworks.com), which comes in four delicious-sounding flavours, including Belgian Choca Mocha, to help you get caffeinated and nutrified in the morning. Each portion has up to 120mg of caffeine, up to 22g of protein, and just 113 calories. Yum!…

The Heston 120 is a revelation, with Dolby Atmos certification for a true 3D audio soundstage. Specific sound modes are…

₹19,999, philips.co.in Philips is known for releasing no-nonsense products that balance practicality with punch, and its newest party speaker, the TAX4910/94, is no different. It doesn’t try to reinvent what a party speaker should be—it simply doubles down on what works. The speaker has a towering presence, standing 62.4 cm tall, with two large handles to help carry around this monster of a speaker. The build quality is solid, featuring a striking metallic grill at the front. You can clearly spot the two large 6.5-inch woofers and three tweeters through this. On the back, you’ll find multiple I/O options, including two auxiliary mic ports, as well as a microSD and USB Type-A slot. To keep things interesting, you can choose from a bunch of LED effects, which also sync to…

₹10,999, gonoise.com Noise has truly broken into the premium headphones space with the Noise Master Buds Max, developed in collaboration with Bose. Unlike their typical models, where the effective price often feels heavily discounted from the MRP, these cans maintain a premium positioning with minimal gap between launch price and street value—avoiding the bargain-bin perception. The Noise Master Buds Max are premium over-ear wireless headphones that deliver Bose-tuned audio via 40mm drivers, producing rich, balanced sound with deep bass and clarity across genres. Key features include adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC) up to 40dB, spatial audio (without head tracking), and Dynamic EQ that adjusts output based on volume and environment for consistent quality. With Bluetooth 5.3, LHDC 5.0 codec support, dual-device pairing, wear-detection auto-pause, and an impressive 60-hour battery life…

During a recent trip to Russia, I realized how reliant we are on big tech and how apps shape our behavior. Due to Western sanctions on Russia and the country’s response, two notable shifts have occurred. First, our go-to apps often fall short, either due to limited information or because they’re blocked, but viable alternatives exist. For instance, Yandex Maps outperforms Google or Apple Maps in both depth and effectiveness. The second change is more troubling. Technology spoon-feeds us to the point that we lose our spatial and situational awareness. In Moscow, GPS issues across all mapping apps make real-time location tracking and step-by-step last-mile guidance nearly impossible. I spent 45 minutes trying to locate my accommodation, just 340 meters from the metro station, until a local resident gave me…

What I found most striking about the high profile cyberattacks on retailers M&S and the Co-op earlier this year was how worryingly easy they seem to have been. Such hacks are often credited in news reports as being ‘highly sophisticated’, conjuring up images of fiendishly clever programmers devising devastating malware on screens densely packed with fast-moving streams of green digits. The reality however seems to be anything but. The M&S attack reportedly started with our old and commonly encountered enemy, the SIM swap. This is where crooks dupe a mobile phone provider into transferring a victim’s phone number to a different SIM card which they control. This allows the criminals to intercept calls, texts and two-factor authentication codes, and use a trusted employee’s mobile number to convince IT staff to…

₹1,72,999, store.google.com The foldable market has reached a crucial inflection point. The initial novelty has worn off, replaced by a fierce battle over what a foldable should be. Is it a delicate piece of tech, impossibly thin and light? Or is it a robust, practical tool designed for the rigors of daily life? With the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google has emphatically chosen the latter. Instead of chasing the thinnest hinge or the loudest specs list, Google has refocused on reliability, daily usability, and the Pixel platform’s best asset — software that makes the hardware sing. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold presents a compelling, if polarizing, vision for the future of foldables. It champions industry-first durability, class-leading battery life, and a uniquely intelligent software experience, all while making significant compromises…

₹3,399, atovio.in Atovio Pebble is a small, lightweight, personal, wearable (filter-free) air purifier designed to create a cleaner breathing zone around you - especially useful in polluted cities, crowded public transport, or dusty indoor spaces. It uses what the brand calls Advanced Variable Anion Technology, releasing millions of anions (negatively charged ions) per second to neutralize harmful, airborne pollutants like PM2.5, bacteria, and allergens in 8 minutes. The basic idea is that nature has an abundance of anions (the air purifiers) and how can we create the same (artificially) around our breathing space. Right out of the box, the Pebble feels compact and modern. The packaging is neat, with a braided USB-C charging cable, a cleaning brush, a neck lanyard and easy-to-follow guides. The startup has also included reading material…

₹12,999 onwards, amazon.in Unlike traditional SSDs, the SanDisk Creator SSD is compact and sticks to the iPhone via MagSafe. Its native app is well-designed and very similar to the iPhone’s Files folder. Integration with the iPhone is also pretty good. This doesn’t mean it won’t work with Android phones, they include a magnetic sticker in the pack that can be pasted on the back of an Android phone or its case to make the SSD stick to the device. The only challenge is that Android integration isn’t seamless; it’s like plugging a regular SSD into your laptop. Transferring photos, videos, and contacts from the iPhone to the SanDisk Creator SSD is seamless and convenient. There’s automatic backup too, which is excellent, and you can choose the backup frequency. I also…

₹16,999, underarmour.in These are very comfortable, attractive-looking all-day wear sneakers. The curved, off-center lacing is what strikes you first, along with striking contrast colors. So it will get you a lot of attention and people will ask you what this shoe is all about. So it gets full marks for being an attention magnet. These shoes contain the HOVR series cushioning technology, to provide comfort which is rare with traditional sneakers. It also includes auto-lacing, which does not require you to tie a knot. So this makes them work a lot better than slip-on sneakers as you can tighten them when going for a walk, but have the option to loosen them when on a flight to provide more breathing space for your feet. And the SlipSpeed functionality (removes the…

₹39,999, upliance.ai In a landscape where artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping household technology, Upliance 2.0 stands out as a sophisticated evolution of the connected kitchen. Designed to integrate automation, personalization, and precision into home cooking, this all-in-one appliance promises a seamless blend of convenience and intelligence. Yet, behind its polished exterior lies a dependency that slightly tempers its otherwise remarkable performance. Visually, Upliance 2.0 impresses with its minimalist industrial design and compact profile. The build quality feels premium, reflecting thoughtful engineering and attention to user ergonomics. The appliance’s touchscreen interface is sharp, responsive, and laid out intuitively, reducing the need for manuals or tutorials. Every element, from the detachable cooking bowl to the multispeed stirring mechanism, feels purpose-driven. It’s clear the design team prioritized practical aesthetics, ensuring the product remains…

₹19,999, nothing.tech This has been a long time coming. Nothing has grown from a fledgling phone brand – with its Phone (1) and Phone (2) models – to a wider tech disruptor over the last few years. It was only a matter of time before it branched into trying its hand at making the best headphones. Its earbuds laid the groundwork, and now it has a flagship audio device to share in the form of Headphone (1). These over-ears are some of the most eye-catching headphones to launch in recent years, with a visual identity that doesn’t resemble anything else you’ll find on the market. Their design means you can tell them apart from any competitor, even at a distance. Everything centres around two bold decisions. First, it’s that trademark…

GOOGLE GLASS A PRIL 2014 Some things have a funny way of moving in cycles, and Google Glass is a pertinent example. These augmented reality (AR) specs were slammed when they launched in 2013. Yet over a decade later, AR glasses are one of the hottest ideas in tech, with companies desperate to capture market share and wow the public. Google Glass was controlled with your voice using natural language commands. It was also fitted with a touchpad mounted onto one of its arms, a camera capable of shooting 5MP photos and 720p video, plus AR lenses that beamed alerts and info directly into your eyes. At the time, critics condemned its privacy implications, as you could walk around and record members of the public without their permission or knowledge.…

Hana Khan, a commercial pilot by profession packs like it’s a pre-flight checklist, if a bag can handle my week of flying, layovers, and those long walks (and sometimes runs) through airports and asphalt tarmacs, I notice. And the Hamilton? It did really well. I have a rhythm and I know exactly what I need to pack on a layover. Infact I always have basics ready in my carry on. A toiletry bag with tiny bottles, a pajama set, gym wear and my uniform. I used one side of it to put them in and it worked well with the spacers which compartmentalize. Some suitcases look like they’re trying too hard. This one doesn’t. The matte grey body with rose gold trim looks classy easy to spot on a belt…

Garmin can be unpredictable with its wearable release strategy. Six years ago, in my first year at T3, it launched a trio of instant classics, the Forerunner 245, the 945 and the brilliant Fenix 6 Pro. A year later, just two new models appeared. In 2021? Still only a couple. Then came 2022, and the floodgates opened. Garmin released 15 (!) new wearables in one year, including the Fenix 7 and Epix Gen 2, the Forerunner 255 and 955, and the curious Instinct Crossover. In 2023, another 13 models followed. Last year, things slowed down, with just four major launches, providing a much-needed breather. I say that as T3’s in-house Garmin guy, the one who tests most of the brand’s wearables. Let me tell you, even for someone who loves…

RAMVERK PRO CARRY-ON Db’s premium luggage carry-on is like a vault for your valuables. With its tough-as-nails aluminium frame and ultra-smooth Japanese Hinomoto 360° wheels, the Ramverk Pro glides through airports like it’s on a mission. It’s the kind of over-engineered Scandi design that makes you wish the journey was longer. ₹60,000, dbjourney.com MATADOR GLOBERIDER35 TRAVEL BACKPACK The ultimate one-bag travel companion for tech-savvy adventurers, the GlobeRider35’s clamshell design opens flat for easy packing, while its plethora of admin pockets keeps your cables and gadgets perfectly organised. It’s rugged enough for a mountain trail but slick enough for a business lounge. ₹32,000, matadorequipment.com GOSSAMER VANISH 38L DUFFEL Weighing less than a can of fizz, the Vanish is a masterclass in minimalist engineering. This featherlight duffel packs down to nothing, ready…

₹19,999, sennheiser-hearing.com The unboxing process for the Sennheiser HD 505 is unexpectedly fiddly, setting a frustrating tone from the start. The earcups don’t fold completely flat, which makes placing them back into the box’s storage cavities an awkward struggle. This is the first sign of a design that prioritizes form over practical daily use. This theme continues when you try to operate the headset. It’s crucial to understand that there are no controls on the earcups whatsoever—no buttons, no touch surfaces, no indicators. You cannot adjust volume, skip tracks, or even power the device on or off from the headset itself. Every control must be handled directly on your audio source, which feels surprisingly limiting for a modern premium headset. However, once you navigate these hurdles and audio finally plays,…

₹39,999, amazon.in Like most robo vacuum cleaners today the L10s comes with a washer with self-cleaning base station (dust drain and automatic cleaning) and it comes with AI Obstacle Detection 3D, coupled with a 5300Pa suction power which is more than adequate for Indian homes. It also comes with a run time of 210 minutes battery, before needing a recharge. The Dreame L10s Ultra delivers hassle-free cleaning, we tested it in a furnished, 1200 sq ft home with balconies, carpets, and heavy daily use. This robo vaccum has user-friendly mapping and obstacle avoidance, keeping it efficient—even in complex spaces and balcony zones and also not needing human supervision and intervention. Self-emptying dustbin and self-cleaning mop pads cut down on maintenance, but carpet lovers may need a second pass for deeper…

The copper/black finish reads upscale at the door and is backed by a 2-year warranty that signals confidence in daily wear and tear. Early adopters get six-way unlocking:…

₹47,999, oneplus.com If any Android tablet is poised to take on the iPad Pro, it’s the new OnePlus Pad 3. It can mirror your MacBook, make sending files to iPhone and iPad easier than any other Android tablet, and it packs a huge iPad Probeating 13.2-inch display. Yet, despite its flagship power, slender body and booming speakers, it’s just a fraction of the price of a top-of-the-line iPad. So where’s the catch? Out of the gate, the OnePlus Pad 3’s screen tech is the most notable compromise, with the IPS display being less contrast-rich than iPad Pro OLED panels. There’s also no floating keyboard case – arguably the iPad’s best feature – so anyone picking it up for work will need to rely on a flimsier kickstand tablet folio case.…
