OnePlus Pad 3

The new OnePlus Pad 3 is easily the best android tablet in the market. Powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile platform, this tab performs and multitasks exceptionally well. I’ve been using it for a while now and the 13.2” 3.4K screen with 12-bit colour depth and 144Hz refresh rate is incredible for content viewing with Dolby Vision and 900 nits of luminance! Battery life is outstanding with a 12140mAh battery that’s so well optimised that Pad 3 can last for several days depending on usage. The 5.97mm metal unibody design is sleek and ergonomic allowing for usage around the house/office or even while travelling. Sound is arguably the best I’ve heard in any tablet thanks to 8 speakers providing studio level audio and spatial sound separation. The icing on the cake is OnePlus UI - Oxygen OS 15 and integrated OnePlus AI which allow for seamless workflow and maximum productivity along with Google Gemini on board. Pad 3 also integrates well with OnePlus Stylo 2 and Smart Keyboard accessories (both sold separately) for peak experience! ₹47,999.

OPPO Enco Buds3 Pro

OPPO Enco Buds3 Pro

OPPO’s Enco Buds3 Pro offer good sound and  superb battery life in an affordable package. On usage, I found the Enco Buds3 Pro to offer a premium fit (stayed comfortable and snug in my ears even through extensive usage) courtesy of good design. The earbuds provided clear audio for music, calls, OTT and casual gaming. Battery life is phenomenal in these buds with almost 12 hours playback and 50+ hours using the case. IP55 certification ensures these buds can be worn in challenging environments including rain, while working out or even in dusty environments. Built in BT 5.4 ensures low latency - ideal for gaming smoothly. I also liked the customisable EQ to fine-tune audio to my liking as well as the Clear Vocals preset for calls and Bass Boost preset for some pumping bass (these buds sport 12.4mm Titanium-coated drivers). ₹1,799.
