The new Note 40 series from Infinix is one of the most exciting launches of the year, as Infinix packs a massive punch with features, performance, and quality well above its price point. The Note 40 Pro shown here ticks all the boxes and then some. First off, Infinix’s new Cheetah X1 chip provides an innovative wireless magnetic charge solution providing up to 20 W capability through new accessories such as the Mag Pad, Mag power (magnetic wireless charging power bank) and Mag case. Not to be outdone, the 3D-curved display comes with a 120 Hz AMOLED screen that’s bright and clear and also smooth to scroll. Other features I love include an Active Halo feature (an AI lighting system that responds to calls and notifications), a Mediatek 7020 processor with up to 16 gigs of RAM, as well as a remarkably good 108 MP OIS triple rear cam setup and a 32 MP selfie cam, which both provide stellar images and video. To add to that, the device sports JBL tuned dual speakers, which are loud and sound good for audio. As a bonus, you also get an excellent Magkit (Magcase and Magpower bank) if you purchase now. For those looking for a new, slim, feature-loaded smartphone at an affordable price, check out the Note 40 Pro 5G from Infinix.

Dreame technology specialises in R&D of smart home appliances and is now a trailblazer in vacuum and robot vacuum tech. Their R20 cordless stick vacuum with powerful 190 AW suction is ultra easy and convenient to use and provides highly effective cleaning in a lightweight and compact form factor. Setting up the R20 takes only about 5 minutes, and I found that on regular usage, the cordless vacuum provided me with about 1 hour and 40 minutes of usage on a charge. I tried cleaning floors of various types (tiled, carpeted, granite, etc.), and the results were satisfyingly good. The R20 has intelligent dirt detection capability and adjusts motor and suction speeds according to dirt levels. It also comes with some of the best attachment tools, allowing me to reach nooks and crevices I couldn’t with other devices. The five-layer filtration system is top-notch, and I found the device noise to be comfortable for usage. I must also mention the Blue LEDs on the device, which helped with visualising the dust, and the one-press to empty mechanism that makes disposal easy. There’s also the option of swapping out the battery with an interchangeable battery pack to double cleaning times. Overall, one of the best cordless vacuum cleaners I’ve used!
