PLAYFIT SW75 Smartwatch Review – Good design at Rs. 2,999/-

10 years back, it was the PC and the various devices around it, these days it's the smartphone and a bunch of devices around it. From USB to Bluetooth, the smartphone has replaced the PC as the center of our day-to-day lives. On this evolutionary path, we have been seeing many kinds of sensory devices slowly getting adopted into our lifestyles, one of them being "wearables". PLAY, a new Indian start-up has just jumped onto this opportunity with a newly launched PLAYFIT SW75 smartwatch, which, currently selling at Rs. 2,999 on Flipkart, is a great minimalist entry point into the world of health-focused smartwatches. Here's how my experience with this device went. What fascinated me at the very first look at the Playfit SW75 is how well designed it is. At under 3k, I never expected a smartwatch to look this good, but this one definitely caught my attention because alas, it worked well too. Sure, I have seen well built bands that "work", with those tall vertical displays, but honestly, have never been a fan of the minimal real estate or a bracelet-like design which carries very little information or allows very little control. I'm a fan of the watch-like ...

Apple iPhone 11 First Impressions – Made for Fence Sitters

Apple is back with a best seller. Last year it was the iPhone XR, the coming year, it's going to be the iPhone 11. Write this down, because the upgrades include an extra camera sensor with an ultra wide angle lens, we thought the A12 was faster but then we get the A13 Bionic in this one, which brings amazing features like extended dynamic range at 4K 60 fps, on BOTH the cameras. The really average 7MP front camera on the XR gets upgraded to a 12MP crisp sensor with a wider angle field of view lens on the 11, and again thanks to A13, it does 4K 60 fps, with extended dynamic range up to 30 fps and of course, slofies. Personally, it is a dream come true upgrade from the iPhone XR I have been using till now. The best part? It is going to sell here, in India, for a starting price of Rs. 64, 990 (58, 990 if you pre-ordered) which is way lesser than the 74, 990 price with which the XR started selling. Fear not fence sitters, I used to be one of you and I know how you feel so hear me out ...
