T5 has a 6.83” 1.5K 144Hz AMOLED display that provides a smooth experience and ultra-clear visuals with the curved display adding to a truly immersive experience. Inside there’s a MediaTek Dimensity 7500 Turbo Processor with a GenAI ready NPU engine (upto 233% faster on-device computing) and Origin OS 6.0 with smart AI. The cameras in the T5 are solid (including a 50MP OIS Sony main camera with OIS+EIS and a 32MP selfie camera) both providing crisp images and 4K video. I personally enjoy using this device as it’s slim, light and looks suave. Other features include IP68 & 69 resistance, a 7050mAh battery(with 44W charging) that easy lasts more than a day and dual stereo speakers. A solid all-round phone which will easily suit most requirements! ₹34,999.

Blaupunkt ZENX Moksha Hybrid

Blaupunkt Headphones offer extreme value at affordable prices. Their new BH61 ZENX Moksha Hybrid ANC headphone offers a brilliant fit on the head while simultaneously providing True ANC that minimises ambient noise. 40mm dynamic drivers give you rich Bass and clear audio while BT 6.0 allows excellent connectivity, range and quality. I found the cushioned ear-cups supremely comfortable for long hours and the battery life (100+hrs ) top notch for travel. These foldable headphones are ideal for leisure, work and entertainment with IPX5 resistance making them suitable for a workout as well. Incidentally Blaupunkt also has an awesome EM series of wired earphones with Type-C for those looking to connect to a C-port on a budget. Highly Recommended! ₹3,999.

Transitioning between display and orientation is seamless and multitasking is formidable thanks to Split view. iPhone Duo also features multiple cameras including two 48Mp fusion cameras, a 12MP centre stage front cam and an under-display FaceTime cam.
